Kira awoke from his bed in his apartment. Looking down, he saw Milly's sleeping form, nestled comfortably in his arms, her head resting on his chest. They were both still clothed, and while Kira had no idea how Milly felt at the moment, but the shared body heat had caused his shirt to become quite hot and slightly damp around his neck.
This was the least of Kira's worries, as he looked down at her. The very girl who had done so much for him. He felt so low for having cheated on her, and was so near to breaking down, but he was seemingly offered a second chance, and he was eternally grateful.
There was so much he wanted to say, and hopefully she was listening to what he would soon tell her.
"It's been awhile hasn't it Milly, God I never thought we'd be like this again, Together, asleep in each other's arms. I thought those days were done for good. I haven't been so scared of losing you since that time I saw you on the ground when I first piloted Strike in Heliopolis. Seeing you in danger, and the thought of losing you, and everyone else was what pushed me into piloting that thing in the first place" Kira said to Milly, hoping she'd hear him.
"Even now I'm still regretting having ever kissed Lacus. After all you've done for me, and I was an idiot to go and do that. You're more than a shoulder to cry on for me Milly, you're my best friend, and now you've become the one I truly love and that I want to spend every day with. Milly, I love you and I don't ever want to lose you or have you out of my life ever again"
Kira said to the sleeping form beneath him. Seeing no response, he leaned in and kissed her on the forehead and let his head fall back on the pillow.
As Kira slowly drifted back to sleep, a form opened her eyes, having heard everything Kira said, and relaxed knowing that he was true about getting back together, but before she could smile in relief, she had to go and see someone, someone who had come between them in the first place. dislodging herself from Kira when she was sure that he was fully asleep, she walked over to his closet and pulled out some of the few clothes she left there from her previous times of sleeping over.She selected a white, thin, button up sweater and a blue strapless dress. It would do for now, her clothes were still back at Elthman's place, and probably gone since she had no intention of ever going back there. Looking back as she saw Kira still sleeping, a smile moved across her features as she walked out to the table of Kira's apartment and scribbled a note down on a notepad. turning to leave, and settle things.
Lacus flipped away at the pages of the book she was reading. Cagalli and Athrun were out for lunch and she felt like staying in for the day as opposed to going out again, although deep inside it was merely her chance to escape from causing more problems, the guilt from ruining Kira's relationship. A knock was heard at the door, startling her from her thoughts. Getting up to answer the door, Lacus opened it to find that girl, the one who had found a way into Kira's heart that she could never manage, it was Miriallia. "Can we talk?" Milly asked Lacus. Opening the door Lacus invited the girl in and shut it behind her. Walking past Lacus, Milly looked around and saw the hotel room that she had stayed in not too long ago. Walking over to the bed, she sat down and watched as Lacus did the same to the neighboring bed. "I just want you to know I'm not here to threaten you or to attack you, I just want to know why?" milly asked, her hands folded in her lap. "I guess I just wanted to believe that Kira wasn't still with you, and that he and I would be able to get back together" Lacus explained, looking down at her hands.
"I suppose I shouldn't blame you for not having faith in our relationship. But as the months went by I saw that with Kira we were both able to heal each other's pain. I lost Tolle, and he had lost Fllay, we had both lost someone precious to us and through that we were able to find our way to each other" Milly said, her eyes drifting towards the window, and back to the old days before the war started. "I don't think either of us realized just how much we needed each other until we were separated. I realize we were both at fault for our actions" Milly spoke. "Actions that I am to blame for" Lacus said with tears threatening to fall from her face. Seeing this, milly spoke, attempting to keep the sadness from returning. "I admit that you have caused some trouble for us, but what this has been Lacus was a sign, or a test for how much Kira and I rely each other, and how much we've come to depend on one another, the test of our relationship. If not for oyu we never would have known how strong our love was" Milly explained, not in anger but in a reassuring tone of voice.
Looking at Milly, Lacus saw the kindness in her eyes and not the anger she was expecting. "What I'm trying to say is Lacus, I will forgive you for what you've done, and I'd like to try to make amends, and not be angry with each other for the rest of our lives" Milly explained. Lacus looked at her, at the girl who wanted to ask for her friendship after all she had done to her relationship with Kira. Overcome with emotion, Lacus threw her arms around Milly's neck and embraced her, and was willing to forgive her. "Thank you, Miriallia, thank you, let's start again as friends" Lacus said, to Milly.
Later, once Milly was done chatting with Lacus and mending ties, she began her trek back home, back to Kira and to try and start their relationship off right this time. She was prepared to move when the walk sign on the meter appeared when she felt a sudden squeeze on her shoulder, looking over she saw that it was Dearka, he was back. His features didn't have a look of anger or rage, they instead held the look she'd expect from a used car salesman, trying to get a buyer.
"Hey cutie, why'd you run out like that I was just joking" Dearka said as he tightened his grip on Milly' shoulder. "You were only joking...when you tried to rape me?" Milly said with venom in her voice as she squeezed Dearka's hand and removed it from her shoulder. "Milly come on, I promise it'll never happen..." He wasn't able to finish when Milly spun around and gave him an angry glare. "You're right, it will never happen again because I won't ever let you get within ten feet of me ever again" Milly said storming off with the crowd that had dispersed with the changing of the light.
"Milly! Milly wait, wait!" Dearka yelled out hoping she'd listen, only to watch her continue power walking away from him. "DAMMIT, SHIT!" Dearka yelled out as he kicked at nothing and steamed at his situation. "Alright, FINE! Go ahead back to him! he'll betray you again and you know it, he did it once, he'll do it again! you'll see, you'll see!" He yelled out, but his words went unheard as he watched her turn a corner and dissapear.
Kira looked at the note he held in his hand for the past half hour. It said she would be back in an hour, yet an hour had passed already. what if something had happened to her, or someone had attacked her. Kira's questions were answered when the door opened, and Milly was standing there looking at him. The afternoon sunshine glowing behind her made the dress she wore seem almost transparrent, were it not for the white sweater she wore she would have almost appeared unclothed. "Milly, you're back" Kira said as he walked over to her. He felt unsure of her staring at him like that, with an almost surprised and empty look on her face. Slowly however, her eyes began to ease up and her mouth changed to that of a smile. "I'm glad you waited up for me" Milly said as she began to walk over to Kira. Kira embraced her and ran his hands down her back and sighed in happiness as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"So where were you?" Kira asked. "I was chatting with Lacus, we've patched things up so there's no hostility between either of us" Milly said as she looked into Kira's eyes. "So everything's okay now? Kira asked. "Yes, but there is some thing we need to discuss if we want our relationship to work this time" Milly said with a serious look in her eyes and she lead Kira over to the couch, his eyes glued to hers.
"First, this will never happen again, no cheating or kissing another woman ever again or I won't give you a second chance again, do you understand Kira" Milly said, her voice taking on a very strict tone. "Absolutely, I will never even think about being with another woman when I'm with you or not" Kira said, his voice equally serious. It was then tat Kira noticed her holding up her pink finger. Interlocking it with hers and then tightening slightly. "I promise, I swear" Kira said. at this Milly embraced him, thankful that all the pain was behind the both of them.
"Well after all that I'm starving, what say we have some breakfast?" Milly asked as she left Kira's embrace. "That sounds nice, how about I cook this time?" Kira asked. "What's wrong with my cooking Mr. Yamato?" Milly asked taking on a somewhat strict tone to her voice. "Nothing, nothing's wrong with it, I just wanted to do something nice for you after all you've been through" Kira said trying to keep Milly from getting angry with him again. "Oh so you thought you'd butter me up by making breakfast for me instead of allowing me to cook for you?" Milly said getting up from where she was with her arms crossed and her eyes shut, and an annoyed expression on her face. "No no Milly it's nothing like that, please we just got through a rough time and I don't want you to be angry with me again" Kira pleaded, all the while totally unaware of the smile slowly spreading across Milly's face. "Milly, please just..." Kira was unable to continue as milly leapt forward into his arms and he toppled back onto the floor and they rolled over till they were both on their sides looking into each other's eyes.
Leaning in and kissing him playfully on the lips, milly spoke. "Athrun was right, you really are a crybaby" she said with a smirk on her face. Deciding to play along, Kira decided a little punishment was in order for his girlfriend. "Oh he said that did he? I'll deal with him when the opportunity arises but for now miss Haww, you need to be punished for your actions" Kira said as he wrapped his arms around Milly to prevent her escape and began tickling her again. "No! no please not that, you know how ticklish I am Stop!" Milly cried out in vain. "Why do you think I'm doing it?" Kira replied as he held his squirming and wiggling girlfriend. Seeing that he'd keep this up for as long as he saw fit, Milly had to think of a way to get Kira to stop tickling her, and only one idea came to her mind and taking it when she had the opportunity.
Kira was ready to continue tickling milly when she planted her lips on his, causing him to roll over onto his back with her on top, and making the kiss become even more heated as he felt her tongue slide into his mouth. Seeing an open invitation, Kira allowed his tongue to slip in as well, and his arms to wrap around her back while she wrapped hers around his neck. "Ssigh says hello" Kira said as he leaned towards Milly's ear, then allowing himself to nibble on it. Milly opened her mouth and gasped as she felt Kira's teeth graze lightly over her ear, exciting and making her very aroused. "If you don't stop, we'll never get around to eating breakfast" Milly said as she tried her best to ignore kira's nibbling away at her ear. He stopped but began to plant light kisses down along her neck, still causing her to almost go insane at his touch.
Kira planted one last kiss on her neck before he started nuzzling her neck again and tightened his embrace on her. He knew very well what he was doing to her and what it could lead to. If he wasn't careful he would wind up breaking his promise to take things slow in this relationship. He moved that fast once before but now he wanted to try and take things slower, no matter how tempting it was to take things to another level, and right now that was very tempting. "Yeah, you're right, and I am pretty hungry" Kira said, not completely lying, he was hungry, but for something different altogether. Milly rose from the floor and walked over to the fridge and opened it to see what was there they could eat. Feeling somewhat guilty, Kira walked over and embraced her. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take it so far" he said."It's okay, we'll just have to be a little more careful, and if it does go that far, make sure your prepared" Milly said as she kissed Kira on his cheek. 'So that's what we have to be on the watch for these days' Kira thought to himself. There wasn't any doubt that he was becoming sexually attracted to milly, and if more encounters like that reared themselves, then he may not be able to control himself. Still, he loved Milly and was given a second chance, and he wasn't going to screw this up again. "Actually, there is something I've been meaning to ask you" Kira said as he continued to nuzzle Milly's neck as she cooked breakfast. "What's that?" Milly asked him.
