Chapter 11
Desperation
The midnight light of the moon shown down through the velvet red curtains of the Marriot Hotel as time continued to take its toll, the minutes passed, everything just seemed to go slower. The ruffle of sheets as Lacus Clyne wearily opened her eyes to find herself feeling awfully cold, but an unusual warmth around her waist. She stared toward the ground at the edge of the bed and what she saw nearly made her faint. Clothes were all over the ground and so were hers…and Kira's. She covered her mouth in surprise as she was too afraid to stare down, and sure enough it was the warmth of Kira's arm that was around her waist. She closed her eyes and counted to ten. Please let this be a dream…please say I'm dreaming…when I open my eyes…I'll be back in my room…9…10! But to her horrid discomfort, it was no dream as she pinched herself. She turned around to face him, but he was asleep like a baby as she reached to touch his face. His skin as so warm…so soft…she smiled. She had finally realized they were both naked with the covers over them, but it felt like all she needed was Kira's arm around her and she'd be completely fine. She turned back around. However…
"Did we really…or … was it just …" she mumbled something much too quiet as the arm around her pulled her back to Kira as light soft nibbles on her neck swooned her. Lacus' eyes widened, that answered her questions as the hours of - in Athrun terms - 'play time' they had returned to her memory. She must've been so knocked out that she had forgotten. Kira suddenly stopped and blew slightly on the places that he had nibbled. She heard him softly chuckle.
"Whoops, I left another one," his voice came out soft and husky as he laughed. Lacus covered her face. She was already having trouble with the first hickey…
Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God, help me!! She screamed mentally. She felt like she was going crazy. "K-Kira, please stop," she finally managed to get out, however in panting.
"Sorry…I couldn't help it," he laughed again as Lacus managed to face him. He cleared some draping hair from her face as his unusually calm face smiled at her.
"Why do you look so happy, Kira?" Lacus continued to stare to the side as she asked her question, but it made Kira surprised by the look on his face.
"Why do you look so sad?" he asked with a confused stare.
"I-I don't know…I mean…I can't really explain it…" she hugged herself as Kira pulled the covers up more. She seemed so cold as he pulled her even closer to him. "It's just…Fllay…she…she's your…" her vision seemed to fog up again as she blinked away what would've been tears, but by the fact that they had been so close, a tear drop had fallen down on Kira's chest and he wiped away whatever else had been falling on Lacus' cheek. "I'm sorry…I just don't want…I just don't want…I…I…"
"Shhh…shhh…it's alright, Lacus," he kissed her forehead hoping she would stop crying, but she couldn't. She felt so helpless. This wasn't right but it felt so right just to be with Kira like this. But the thought of Fllay kept popping into her mind. Yet…Kira did the one thing that would always clear Lacus' mind. He kissed her again and she lost all sense of control.
"He may not be the best talker…" she thought as her hands slowly traveled places that they had traveled only hours before, "but he's the best kisser…"

Cagalli grumbled in her sleep. That little pain in her stomach this time. "Kira's doing something again and it's giving me a stomach ache," she grumbled as she bumped into Athrun's head as she had moved forward. He rubbed the spot gently.
"Geez…Cagalli…aroused already?" he sighed.
"No, not that, you idiot!" she yelled as she turned to stare at the clock. "I'm just having another twin reaction thing."
"Call Kira then," he rolled back over on his side and was fast asleep.
---
Fllay stood beside Siegel Clyne at the Clyne/Allster Conference as flashing cameras pictured the two and Fllay stood there, in a bright pink coated jacket with her hair tied up neatly as she tried to look dignified enough for the press.
"Due to the recent events, the Allster Company right now is struggling to keep together. The vice chairman was also killed the same day as his death I hate to admit," Siegel began weakly. The whole group gasped and a storm of questions came.
"Chairman Clyne, will Ms. Allster be the future of Allster Sciences?" a reporter managed to yell loud enough as he stared at the stiffly standing Fllay.
Siegel turned slightly to Fllay who froze. "She has considered it but she will need further training for the matter, therefore…"
"But why let such a young child take such a huge responsibility?" more questions came as one popped up that made Fllay lose all her temper. "But wouldn't that little distraction of that new writer, Kira Yamato make a problem in the companies? I mean, you know kids these days."
"I assure you, Fllay is mature enough-"
"What about Kira?! Just because I care about one person does not mean that I won't be able to handle a company as well. Mr. Clyne here is a very good supervisor and I've learned a lot in just a few hours. Kira will not get in the way, I assure you. And besides, it's none of your business what I do with Kira or whether he will be a distraction or not!" Fllay snapped in a rage as Siegel turned away.
"Just made it worse…" he muttered under his breath. The whole press seemed to rush with excitement as tabloids and such began writing notes for things good and bad.
"So Ms. Fllay, are you saying that you and Yamato are close? How close to be precise?" a tabloid from Teen Weekly eyed her carefully, his pencil ready for fire.
Fllay gave him a cocky grin. "Oh, please, that's a silly question! We are very close! Aren't all dating couples?"
"Well, Ms. Fllay, what about that childhood friend of his? Ms. Lacus Clyne? They have known each other longer and he did mention her numerous times in his autobiography, also mixed with a bit of fictional mishaps. They seemed to be even closer. Don't you even think about them being …"
"If you think Kira is having an affair with Lacus Clyne, then please, get your stories straight! There is no way his guilt could take it! He can be a bit of wimp sometimes if you ask me!" she blurted and a sudden grip on her shoulders surprised her as the murmur of the press got even louder.
"That's enough, Fllay," Siegel spoke in a gruff voice as he guided her away from the spotlight and brought her to face front.
"What?! I have to defend myself don't I? You even said so!"
"But not like that! You must clearly think of what you say first! Once Lacus and Kira come back, Lacus will take you around and teach you about politics and press. You mustn't think of this as simply high school terms with all this drama. Politics is full of conniving little bugs trying to point things at the other while the others can barely defend themselves due to payment to tabloids and newspapers. You must think first! You just gave them enough to last them at least three months of issues!"
"Oh, come on, you must be kidding me, Clyne. Nothing can be that big from…" she peered over her shoulder and she screamed out. "…oh…my…"

"Report, Mwu," Murrue commanded entering the lab of Murusta Industry. Mwu turned around in his chair and faced her with a smile to see that she didn't look at all in a good mood. He gave a small smile but she continued to look cranky and annoyed, her hair frilly and over on one side as she tapped her foot impatiently as Mwu continued to stare. "Are you going to stare at me or are you going to give me your report?" she snapped acting like Natarle. Mwu blinked.
"Did you and Natarle switch places or something? What's to be cranky about? It's a fine day…nothing's gone wrong…" and then he took a glance at the calendar at the wall. He sighed. So…it was already THAT time of the month. Deciding not to annoy her any longer due to feminine problems, he turned back to the computer and began typing to bring up the large hologram screen as Murrue looked up and continued to glare at it.
"Explanation, please," she ordered continuing to stare up at the hologram.
"Well, as you can see, the bug's trail stopped somewhere on the Eastern Coast of the US," Mwu began as he typed through the computer casually and brought up another picture of a worm and a white background.
"What the hell is that?" Murrue glared.
"The bug that stole Yamato's files. According to the pink girl's file, it only managed to steal the first five chapters of Kira's story before it was discovered also encasing a big of history on Kira. Other than that, nothing important. I managed to get more tracings and found out one sure thing."
"And that would be the location, I presume?" Murrue sighed as she crossed her arms and stopped tapping her feet. Mwu sighed and mouthed a 'thank you' to himself as he continued to bring up another picture. Another map.
"I believe it's in Florida," Mwu rubbed his chin as he brought up a smaller picture in the corner and showed Epcot.
"You're kidding me, you're telling me this thing was sent from Disney World?" Murrue gaped at the picture as Mwu chuckled.
"No, but the signal was somehow sent from the silver ball. I've already called in a favor to check in about any unusual satellite disturbances. There's nothing special I've found though."

"Rise and shine, KIRA!!" Cagalli laughed as she awakened the still-asleep Kira on his cell phone. Athrun had done something to his cell phone so that whenever Cagalli would call, it'd be automatically on so Kira would have no choice but to talk to his sister. It was by Cagalli's request, of course. Kira opened his eyes from his sleep as he noticed the clock. It was already lunch time here so that'd mean it was around nine in the morning. Kira groaned as he fumbled for the phone. (sorry if I calculated wrong!!)
"How'd you know I was asleep?" Kira grumbled as yawned and rubbed his eyes to find Lacus still sleeping. As Cagalli talked to him, he shook her awake and showed her the time. With that, she nodded.
"So, how's everything there, Kira? Everyone misses you guys," Cagalli began as she danced around.
"Everything's fine, you could say. You'll never guess who's helping us with this bug thing," Kira laughed as Lacus sat up when she saw who the caller was. She leaned her head on his shoulder and held his hand. He smiled.
"Oh? Surprise me," Cagalli stated plainly as she caught herself while dancing.
"La Flaga, Ramius, and Badgiruel," Kira chuckled as he entwined Lacus' fingers' with his. It helped him relax a bit more as he continued his pleasant conversation with Cagalli.
"You're kidding!! By the way, did La Flaga and Ramius get married yet?"
"Married? When were they ever going out? They're still just friends, Cagalli."
"So??? They would always dance at every dance! They were the best of the teachers and everyone wanted them to get together. I even tried every trick in the book, heck, I gave them both ribbons on St. White's Day!"
----
At that moment, both Murrue and Mwu sneezed.
"Bless you," they said in unison as Murrue wiped her nose with a napkin in her pocket while Mwu just wiped it on his sleeve.
"Continue with the report," Murrue said as she walked to the trash to throw away the tissue.
----
"So that was you? I thought that was just a coincidence," Kira sighed as Lacus' eyes suddenly turned sad and Kira began stroking her hair. She stared up at him with another smile and laughed lightly.
"Eh? Kira?"
"Yeah?"
"Was that Lacus' voice? What is she doing in your bedroom?!" Cagalli raised an eyebrow as Athrun looked up from his laptop suddenly interested as he walked over and placed Kira on speaker.
"Oh, she just came in, she heard your excited yell from her room," Kira lied with a wink as though lying had become nothing to him. Lacus gaped at him, surprised. "You wanna talk to her?"
"I guess…" Cagalli still didn't believe Kira's excuse, but then again it did seem possible. It surprised that her voice was that loud.
"Hello?" Lacus spoke in a tired voice as Kira got off the bed and grabbed his shirt and pants off the floor and grabbed a new set of clothes. He pointed to the bathroom and Lacus nodded as she looked toward her side of the floor. As she talked, she picked up her clothes and put them on.
"Lacus, hi…umm…was my voice really that loud?" Cagalli said as she placed Lorena in her crib. Lacus laughed.
"Apparently, yes," Lacus thought about Kira's lie. It was amusing to see how innocent his expression was.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."
"Cagalli, it's lunch time here, we just sort of slept in. We had a late night," Lacus shrugged as she pulled on one of Kira's shirts as it draped downward, but above her knees.
"What were you guys doing up so late then?"
"Party with the old school teachers. They wanted to catch up and get to know us better since we're not just student and teacher anymore. It was fun but we lost track of time, we were supposed to go and do more sight-seeing around Fisherman's Wharf, maybe."
"Oh! Oh! Don't forget to buy me gifts! Lots of gifts!"
"Me, too!" Athrun spoke out like a little child as Cagalli passed him a confused look. He shrugged. "Can't I at least have one souvenir?" he sounded more like he was begging.
Lacus' giggles were heard on the phone as she borrowed Kira's comb from the table and began stroking her hair ends. She leaned on the apartment wall and allowed a little sunlight to come into the dim-lit room. "I promise I'll buy both of you gifts."
She hung up the call and approached the bathroom door and gave a soft knock.
"Yeah?" he called out as his voice echoed the bathroom walls.
"I have to go pick up some clothes. I'll be back in just a sec."
"Got it!" he called back rinsing out his hair. Hearing the soft click of the door even through the ring of the shower echoing the bathroom walls, Kira felt his nervousness cease. Wait…why was he nervous anyway? Shaking his hair like a dog, Kira stood there letting the cool and warm water droplets cascade down his body and after knowing some time had passed, he turned off the water, grabbed his towel and wrapped it around his waist. Staring at himself in the mirror, he shook his hair again and combed it back with an extra comb provided from the hotel. He then brushed his teeth in the zig-zagged ways. He laughed to himself as he noticed how childish he looked. Still, he knew something felt missing. Putting on his clothes, he combed his hair a bit again and walked out the door to find Lacus losing herself staring out at the view of the Bay. Kira silently approached her, but before he could even scare her, she turned around to him with a smile. He dropped his arms down in defeat, there was no way he could ever scare her.
"Trying to scare me again, Kira?" she raised an eyebrow as she grabbed her clothes off the bed and speedily locked the bathroom door behind her. Kira sighed as he plopped into the sofa seat next to the balcony window. He lost himself in his thoughts as well as he well-knew something did not feel right. Leaning on his knuckle, his eyes turned to his cell phone and his argument with Athrun and Cagalli came back to him. His head immediately began to burn.
"Damn it…" he turned to look at the phone again and decided maybe it was time to figure out if Fllay was busy or not. Strutting over to the phone, he grabbed and dialed the number.
-----
Athrun's eyes speedily read across every line on the crumbled piece of white binder paper that he had taken from Lacus' trunk. He had split the groups into one with her schoolwork and another with her poems and small scraps. He had completely lost consciousness of everything around him. He didn't even hear the faint sound of the arguing from the room next to him. It was something about Miriallia, Tolle, and Dearka yelling at each other for the breakfast. There was a serious look on Athrun's face as Cagalli entered the room with a cold ice lollipop in her mouth. She wore a long green T-shirt and blue shorts as she sat next to Athrun on the floor.
"What are you doing with Lacus' stuff?" she leaned over to stare at the piles as her blonde hair flowed down nearly touching the carper floor. Athrun didn't seem to hear her as he placed another paper into the smaller pile which was Lacus' scraps. Becoming annoyed at him ignoring her, Cagalli snapped her fingers in his face and he instantly regained consciousness. He turned to her with an innocent look.
"Something wrong? Do you need something?" he blinked speedily as Cagalli continued to give him an annoyed stare. Athrun blinked a couple more times and then returned to the papers.
"Athrun!!" she grabbed him by the shoulder and he stared at her again, this time a bit more angry.
"What?!"
"What do you mean 'what'?! You've been at it for hours! Come on!" she lifted him off the carpet floor and made sure he was standing straight. "What could be so important that you'd have to go through your own cousin's stuff?"
"Errr…didn't you say you wanted Kira and Lacus together?" he raised an eyebrow. Jumping up and down like a little child, Cagalli waved her arms in the air as she continued to protest about his recent actions.
"You never seem to want to have fun anymore! You're always on the floor doing something! Can you at least tell what it has do with Lacus and Kira?"
"Well…err…I found a couple of poems and I thought that if I gave them to Kira…then…well…"
Cagalli immediately brightened up.
"I get it!! If Kira sees this …"

"…Milly will sooo kill both of you."
Nicol, Yzak, Kuzzey gaped at the broken pieces of glass on the floor as Tolle and Dearka continued to glare at each other from across the room. The morning rendezvous with the three had already caused enough chaos, but now, with the broken laptop shattered onto the floor, the color in Dearka's skin seemed to go as nearly as pale as Tolle's especially when Nicol tried to reboot it. He clicked at the buttons, tried to put the glass back together, but nothing would heal the scarred wound.
"It was his fault!" Tolle snapped angrily as he shook a fist at Dearka. "I don't get what you're doing in Milly's room anyway! You don't have any authority to be in here!"
"This isn't just her room! I slept here before you came in! I was just checking to see if I had left anything! Why the hell would I stay and steal some stupid stuff from a girl studying photography?!" sweat beads slid down Dearka's face as he ignored the fact that Nicol, Yzak, and Kuzzey were still in the room watching as the two argued.
"Look! You destroyed her laptop on purpose! And I'm so telling on you!" Tolle said as both him and Dearka neared each other to the middle of the floor and pressed heads.
"OH, yeah?!" Dearka growled threateningly.
"YEAH!"
A door creaked open in the distance as Kuzzey, Nicol, and Yzak froze in their places.
"I'm back! Hello? Tolle? Are you here? Hellooooo?" Milly's voice called out to the emptiness of the living room as the door shut closed again. Another loud yawn was heard.
Nicol stepped between the two as he hit them both in the head with a piece of the shattered laptop. "If either of you want to get in trouble with Milly-"
"AGAIN! If I remind you," Yzak muttered as he helped pick up the broken pieces, Kuzzey following. Nicol turned around slightly to stare at him and turn back to the fighting bulls.
"Then you can stay here and take the blame for the mess, otherwise help clean up," Nicol tried to say as calmly as he could. But it was too late as Milly entered the room to find all five boys going pale. She cocked an eyebrow.
"Tolle, what is everyone doing in our room?" she took off her bag as she set it to the side. "Is something wrong?" Tolle waved his hands frantically in her place as Kuzzey tried to scoot the mess under the bead.
"N-No! Of course not!" he laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head. "Everything's just peachy!"
"Uh-huh," her tone of voice obviously showed she didn't even believe Tolle at all. So, she moved Tolle out of the way and what she saw on the ground made her look as if she was about to faint from the simple sight of the broken pieces. "M-My laptop!!" she fell to her knees, her hands hovering over the black material and the screen glass. "What did you do?!" she directed her anger right to Dearka who found himself being pressured to the wall. She poked his chest. "What the hell did you do?!"
"I didn't do anything! It was an accident!" he gulped as he saw the rage in her eyes. Nicol and Yzak gaped at him regretfully, both shrugging. Tolle and Kuzzey helped stack the pieces as Milly believe no word coming out of the blonde's mouth. "I swear!!"
"Would you swear on everything you have?" she neared her face to his as he pressed his hair against the white wall. The breath came out of her nose like a wild bull ready to charge. He closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and felt his body squeeze up.
"No."
Milly calmly closed her eyes and settled back down as she turned to Kuzzey. She rolled her eyes at Dearka. "Man, you cause more trouble than anyone I know, Dearka," she sighed as she motioned Kuzzey over to her. "Just tell me what happened," she folded her arms and listened intently as Kuzzey explained the situation.
Tolle stared at the nervous Dearka and noticed a dazed stare toward his girlfriend. He glared at the boy who didn't seem to notice.
So…the boy had a crush on his girlfriend, did he?
"Oh, no he won't…" he muttered angrily as thoughts filled his mind.
"And that's what happened," Kuzzey finished. Dearka sat, leaning against the wall, with his arms over his knees, staring to the side. Nicol and Yzak had left the room to throw away the broken pieces and Tolle was sitting on the bed. Milly looked down on Dearka who didn't pay attention to her as he continued to stare endlessly into the carpet.
"You were just looking for your watch?" she asked politely. Dearka nodded, he looked so sad. She put her hands on her hips and gave him a confused look. "What's with the sad look?"
"Forget it," he got up lazily as he stepped into the hallway and out of the room. Milly uncrossed her arms as she looked to Tolle who seemed to have fallen asleep and she ran to Dearka, stopping him in his tracks. "What is it now?"
"I need to talk to you," her eyes crossed as she pulled him by the collar and brought him outside the room. Down the hallway, behind a corner, Nicol and Yzak crouched down listening intently.
Dearka fell back onto the wall with his arms behind his head and his nose up in the air. His eyes were closed, he resisted looking into the orange-haired girl's eyes. "What you wanna talk about?" With those words, a hard cold slap came to his face and Dearka snapped open his eyes and his fist hanging out in front of his face. "What the hell was that for?"
"For being an idiot, why?! All you've been doing is being rude to Tolle and to me! What's your problem?! Haven't you ever seen a couple before?!" she glared angrily as she waved her finger at him. Nicol stifled his laughs as he took glances at Yzak. Yzak gave him a wild stare, nearly blowing their cover as he yelled out.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" before Yzak could continue, Nicol grabbed him and shoved Yzak's fist into his own mouth somehow. Muffled, Yzak turned away and pulled his fist out of his mouth. Coughing excessively, he slapped Nicol's back hard and in return they began hitting each other stupidly.
"What the hell was that?" Dearka raised an eyebrow as he made his way for the corner when Milly's voice stopped him in his tracks.
"Forget them, I'm not done with you," she grabbed him by the collar hard and he only stared down at her furiously.
"Let me go, little girl," he sniggered.
"LITTLE GIRL?!" she slammed him against the wall and Dearka felt his whole world turn upside down. Milly, noticing what she had done, immediately let go of him, covered her mouth and bowed apologetically. "Sorry, sorry. I let my anger get the best of me again. Forgive me, Dearka…you were just being soo…"
"I get it, I get it. Well, we'd better cut this short, your boyfriend's here," he cleared his throat as he walked back into his room and slammed the door shut behind him. Tolle placed a calming hand on Milly's shoulder and she looked back at him with a smile already reading his actions perfectly.
"I'm fine, Tolle, I'm fine," she sighed heavily and turned the knob slowly to her and Tolle's room. "I'll be perfectly…" from the corner of her eye, she spotted Nicol and Yzak hiding in the corner glaring madly at Tolle who didn't seem to notice them. She cracked another smile and laughed.
----
"KIRA!!" Fllay squealed happily as she nearly toppled off her chair and fell to the floor with the surprise of hearing Kira's voice. The smile on her face was so wide that it looked like she was on crack. Kira slowly pulled the phone away from his ear and brought it back after her squealing was finished.
"It's nice to hear from you, too, Fllay," Kira laughed and smiled and sighed. An unusual combination for someone who seemed to be sad all the time.
"Why the hell are you still there? Get your ass back here!" Fllay demanded as she stared at herself in the mirror and began playing with her hair. "I'll start hating you if I have to."
"Aww…come on now, that wouldn't be any fun for me when I get back, now is it?" Kira placed his hands in his pockets and continued to laugh joyfully. Hearing her voice brought him much relief for some reason.
She stuck out her tongue at herself in the mirror and rolled her eyes. "When does someone like you want to have any fun?"
"Can you imagine being in a room and being bored? I hear your going to be head of the Allster Company, I'm happy for ya," Kira spoke childishly.
"Any pretty girls there?" she sighed dreamily and Kira felt his face go red as he made a romantic statement.
"None as pretty as you."
Fllay choked on his words as she nearly dropped the phone. In an instant, she broke out laughing and found herself rolling on the floor with tears coming out of her eyes. Kira Yamato being romantic, that's something you don't see everyday! Finally regaining her consciousness, she sat back up and yawned. "Kira, you're soooo romantic…who's teaching you now, huh?" Kira felt his face go another shade of red as Fllay continued to torment him.
Kira raised his eyebrow and began a cocky tone. Heck, if he was gonna be tormented, why not torment her as well. "W-What's that supposed to mean? Aren't I supposed to be romantic to my girlfriend?"
"Kira's being romantic again! Geez, Kira, whoever's teaching you, you better pay 'em!!!"
"Now, now, Fllay, calm down," feeling movement from the corner of his eye, he saw Lacus plopped on his bed with her hair flowing down to her shoulders, soaking and dripping wet as it soaked her clothes. She laughed lightly to herself as she took her brush and began stroking out the excess water and watching the carpet slowly soaking in the water. Kira walked over to her silently, surprising her as he sat behind her and took a whiff of her damp hair. She gasped as he took his free arm and rubbed his cheek against her hair. Lacus stayed silent as she leaned back against him and gave him a smile.
"Well, I guess I'll talk to you later," she sighed heavily. "Love ya!" Kira chuckled at her laughing tone.
"Same here," he pressed a finger to Lacus' side and she muffled a laugh as Kira bit his lip to hold in his joyous cries.
"I wanna hear you say it!!" Fllay began jumping up and down as she plopped onto her bed.
"Fine," Kira groaned. A thought came to mind as Kira cleared hair away making Lacus' ear visible. Seductively, he breathed coolly into Lacus' ear as his hot breath made all the water seemed to vanish from her hair. She blushed. "I love you, too."
"Thank you! Bye!!" Fllay giggled as she threw the phone aside and began rolling around in her bed like a crazed teenager.
"Yeh, bye," Kira didn't even take a second look at where he threw the phone, he took quick moves at Lacus' lips. He hadn't known what was wrong with him, whenever he was with Lacus, he just seemed to lose all senses. Running her hands through his hair, Kira kissed the side of her face and took in the strong scent of her hair, it smelt of something sweet, something he had to keep smelling, it was an aroma that he couldn't get enough of. "Lacus, what shampoo do you use?" he groaned as he played with her hair kissing her cheek.
Lacus stopped his hand from playing with her hair and made him look at her. "It's called Kisses." Kira cocked an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" she laughed.
"Yes..." Kira began as he rolled on top of her again and placed a trail of kisses on her neck and up to her face again. "You didn't use it yesterday…"
Lacus pushed him off her and began giggling madly. "KIRA!!! What happened to the little innocent boy that I knew so well?" she sighed as Kira sat on the floor with his legs spread out as he leaned on his arms.
"He found Lacus Clyne, that's what," he sighed as he fell back onto the floor.
"If I remember correctly, they were just friends," Lacus shrugged as she knelt down to him, staring at him with a smile.
"Well, if I remember correctly, they fell - " Kira grabbed her to him as she gasped again, taking another swift kiss, "-in love."
