Introduction: A random Lacus/Kira drabble.

Beware: May be nonsensical in some's eyes. And slight spoilers from episodes 39.

"Lacus..."

"Kira..."

The two young adults in their age of 18 looked at each other with gentle eyes after one had alighted from his GUNDAM Strike Freedom and the other departed from the bridge of Eternal. Their mental links were great, able to sense each other from afar.

Lacus Clyne could not believe and speak for this wonderful feeling of being able to understand Kira Yamato without speaking any words or doing anything close for the other but only through eye-contact and simple touch can they understand each other's feelings already.

Kira Yamato, on the other hand, briefly saw the shadow of a certain red-haired woman who had him in her arms in the previous war on Lacus Clyne. He flinched slightly and Lacus felt it, asking, "What's wrong with you?"

He shook his head slightly. "Nothing serious." And he smiled at her.

Lacus Clyne smiled back. "But you must be feeling tired after the fight, right?" She asked and Kira shook his head slightly again, "I feel okay, Lacus."

"Really?" She asked and with a smaller voice, she questioned, "Doesn't fighting make you tired at all? Or have you gone used to fighting..." She stopped halfway as she felt the pair of strong arms wrapping around her waist and bringing her closer to him. She looked up and he looked down.

For the first time ever, they kissed.

And in this awkward moment, one small cough alerted them and the person who coughed was Commander Andrew Waltfeld. He rolled his eyes and walked past them quietly but not before he winked at Kira and pointed quickly at Lacus before whistling away while walking towards his own quarters.

Lacus had buried her blushing face onto Kira's chest at the moment and so did not catch Commander Andrew's hand sign while Kira could only feel his mind in a blank, getting caught up in the realization tt he might have stolen Lacus' first kiss away.

The barge of Andrew Waltfeld into the two's intimate touch of the lips broke the tense air between the two. But then he murmured above Lacus' head as his chin touched her scalp. "I just wanted to protect you, nothing else."

"I understand." Lacus replied.

Owari.

A/U: Criticise to your heart's desire but do not flame me please. Or I shall demand money for treating my burn injuries. Lol.
