For The Love Of Flay

Chapter 1

"Kira...are you ok ?" Flay asked gently as she kneeled by the cot in the infirmary in which Kira layed. Kira got back from battle a little while ago and he was really injured. A piece of metal had pierced through his stomach and he had cuts everywhere, when he was brought in by La Flaga he was covered in blood. Flay had been so worried. But now that he was cleaned up and bandaged he didn't look so bad.

"Yea, I'll be fine." Kira coughed. Flay smiled. She had to hear those words. Even though Kira's a coordinator, meaning he'll heal so much faster then a natural, she still got scared.

"Good." Flay whispered as she stroked his hair. Then the loudspeaker that always ruined everything came on.

"Flay Allster please report to the bridge, I repeat Flay Allster please report to the bridge."

"Damn! I have to go Kira. I'll be back though, I promise." Flay got up and was about to walk away when she realized she already missed him. She leaned down and ever so gently pressed a kiss to Kira's feverish brow.

"Thanks." Kira whispered to her as she walked out of the room and headed for the bridge.

"Sai you should really try getting over Flay. She's nothing but trouble. Be thankful she's not your trouble but someone else's." Kuzzey was telling Sai. Sai wasn't listening though. He just seen Flay walk by. He was sitting in the cafeteria looking out the door when he watched her rush by. He heard her get called to the bridge. Maybe he should go and talk to her. "Sai are you even listening to me? Flay's not even the hottest girl on the ArcAngel!"Kuzzey tried to get Sai's attention.

"Yes she is!" this came from the chief officer Neumann.

"Neumann you don't count because you have a crush on her." Kuzzey told Neumann.

"That's why he counts. You don't count because you like Miriallia." Sai said to Kuzzey.

"We're getting no where with this. We should have a vote in the boys washroom tonight. Everyone who comes in has to vote for one of our top 3 good looking girls." Kuzzey says. "Which are ?" Neumann asks.

"That's so obvious Neumann. Flay Allster, Miriallia Haw and Captain Murrue Ramius." Kuzzey states matter of factly.

"Fine. It's on. We'll see whos crush is the hottest. Right Sai ?" Sai once again wasn't listening. He was daydreaming about what it would be like if Flay never met Kira and fell in love with him instead.

"What's up ? I wanna hurry up and get back to Kira, he's getting better but I wanna be there with him." Flay says as she sits down in the bridge.

"Since Kira is injured we need someone to take his place in piloting the strike." Captain Ramius gets right to the point.

"NO! Kira would never go for that. The strike is like his baby. He wouldn't want someone else piloting it. Get them to pilot one of the new mobile suits." Flay states.

"We need the strike in battle!" Natarle Badriguel argues.

"All right at least have someone Kira cares about pilot the strike and get this other person to pilot the moebius zero. That way at least someone Kira trusts is piloting the strike." Flay reasoned.

"Ok. No the question is who?" La Flaga asks the hardest question.

"Well there's Kuzzey but he has no experience. The officers are not strong enough for battle. Sai is also unexperienced." Natarle said listing the crew.

"How about you ?" La Flaga said to Natarle.

"Me ?" she squeeked. "I'm not so sure."

"La Flaga's right." this from the captain. "You're the perfect candidate. You have some experience and your strong enough to handle the battle. What do you say Natarle ?"

"Ya come on Natarle. We all believe in you." La Flaga said nicely.

"Ok. I'll do it." Natarle agrees.

"All right. Now that this problem is solved can I go back to Kira ?"

Flay rushed back to the infirmary then suddenly stopped. She felt someone watching her. Who could it be ? "Flay..." Oh thank god. She had actually got scared there for a second. She wondered why. She could trust him.

"Hey Sai. Whats up ?"

"Can we talk ?"

"Sure Sai but right now I'm on my way to check on Kira. Do you wanna come with me?" Flay added the last bit in quickly.

"Uh...sure." Sai agreed. They both walked in silence towards the infirmary. For some reason Sai was really making Flay uncomfortable. He was scaring her. But he wasn't doing anything diffrent. He was acting like the same old Sai. So why was she scared? That's when they arrived at the infirmary. Flay noticed that Kira's name was no longer on the door.

"Nurse! What happened to Kira Yamato?" Flay asked the nurse.

"Oh...He was released about half an hour ago."

"Thanks." Flay said then turned to Sai. "He's probably in his room so we should go check." Sai nodded his head in agreement. When he did that Flay got the shivers. They walked to Kira's room and Flay opened the door. No one was there.

"He probably went to the bridge to get me, or something. We should wait for him here." Flay told Sai. Sai nodded again and again it gave her the chills. Why was he being so quiet?

"Hey Kira. I see your up and moving again. That didn't take long. Only about 6 hours." Kuzzey said cheerfully as Kira walked into the cafeteria. He was starving.

"So Kira did you hear about the vote happening tonight in the guys washroom ?" officer Pal asked.

"Shhhh!" Kuzzey hushed Pal quickly.

"What vote Pal ?" Kira asked, very curious.

"Kuzzey I have to tell him. We're having a vote in the guys washroom tonight on who's the hottest girl on the ArcAngel. We have three candidates for you to choose from."

"Well you know who I'm picking." Kuzzey said.

"Who are the three?" Kira asked. " Miriallia Haw, Captain Murrue Ramius and... Flay Allster." "Oh." Kira didn't react. "Have fun." Kira said and started eating. Then that annoying loud speaker "

Lieutenant Mu La Flaga please report to the bridge, I repeat Lieutenant Mu La Flaga please report to the bridge."

Kira was glad they didn't want him. He just wanted to sit and eat non-stop. God he was hungry. It must have been something that they gave him that made him so hungry. He started thinking about Flay, one of the top three hottest on the ArcAngel. He liked the thought of that. He was dating one of the hottest girls on the ArcAngel. Flay really was beautiful. And she was his.

"What's the problem Captain ?" asked La Flaga as he reached the bridge.

"We may be under attack at any moment. Yamato is out of the infirmary but he's not yet fully recovered and I don't want to send him out yet. I need you to get ready to jump into the strike at any time. I also need a couple of people to guard Dearka Elsman because you never know who may get on the ArcAngel."

"Wow. Big problem. Ok send Chief officer Neumann and officer Tonomura to guard Elsman." "Got it." cried Natarle. Then she annonced on the loudspeaker : Will Chief Officer Neumann and Officer Tonomura report to the dungon to guard the prisoner. I repeat Chief Officer Neumann and Officer Tonomura report to the dungon. "Anything else ?" Natarle asked. "Yea get everyone but Kira Yamato, Sai Argyle and Flay Allster in battle positions."

"Got it Captain." Will everyone except the following report to battle stations. Kira Yamato, Flay Allster and Sai Argyle. I repeat, Will everyone except the following report to battle stations. Kira Yamato, Flay Allster and Sai Argyle. "All right Captain. Everyone is getting into their battle positions. What now ?" Natarle asked the Captain.

"Now we just wait. You never know when they may strike. So we wait for the attack." the Captain said in a dark voice.

Kira was left alone in the cafeteria but he didn't really mind because that meant no one could interupt his eating. He was kinda miffed that he wasn't in the battle but he understood why. The piece of metal was just recently removed from his stomach and if he got hit there really hard he could die. So Kira decided he had to try and enjoy his freedom while he had it. He would finish eating and then go visit Flay.

Flay started pacing. Why didn't they call Sai into battle. He was still making her uncomfortable and she would much rather wait for Kira alone. She started fiddling with a pen but then she dropped it.

"Damn." she whispered as she bent to pick it up. Unknown to her Sai was suddenly having trouble controlling his hormones. Why did she have to bend over ? he thought. He never really realized how short the uniform skirts were until now. Sai knew he shouldn't be alone with Flay because of these feelings he was having but he had come anyway. Why ? Did he think that she'd want it too ? He couldn't stop himself any longer. He reached out and grabbed Flay.
