Chapter 1
Where is he? I hope he didn't go too far, I have to tell him, No, I need to tell him, need to feel his embrace again, and his soft lips.
A soft blush slowly creeps onto the pink princess' face. Ah, just thinking of him makes me blush.
While searching for Kira in the kitchen, she accidentally almost bumped into Cagalli. Cagalli being the short-tempered, yet kind as she was nearly blurted out with anger till she suddenly realized it was only Lacus.
"LACUS!"
"Are you okay, Lacus? You look very worried," she paused to look around, "where's Kira, is he okay? I never really see you two apart." Exclaimed Cagalli.
"Woah 1 question at a time, Cagalli, but yes, I'm okay, never been better, and actually Kira is uh, I don't know right now but I'm sure he's 100 fine as well, and what do you mean we're never apart?" Lacus replied calmly with her usual smile but inside she was dead worried where Kira was and how was he?
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, the tapping soon stopped. It was so quiet and brief that they, both didn't know if they actually heard what it thought were footsteps or something else. Unknown to them that there was truly enough Kira right behind the corner hearing everything she had said.
Meanwhile in Kira's head while they were talking
She's okay. He repeated in his head in disbelief, I guess she really didn't love me, if...if…but how the hell am I 100 okay. She…she…I thought she had broke the engagement with Athrun for me, because she, she loves me, but urghh! Kira was secretly behind the corner, silently listening and crying…he thought, before he couldn't take it anymore and sped off away from Lacus and Cagalli, never wanting to see Lacus, the one he truly loved, not out of lust but of her in the whole, ever again…
Back to Lacus and Cagalli
"Are you sure?" Cagalli further questioned, already knowledging that something is definitely wrong, but didn't want to force it out.
"Yes, but I do recall I never see you and a certain blue-haired coordinator ever apart either." Replied Lacus sweetly.
Cagalli turned red, beet red. "I, uh…don't know who you're talking about." Retorted Cagalli. "And well, I, got to get back to, umm… check on Athrun." Then says a very embarrassed Cagalli, as she mentally hits her head for saying, Athrun's name in front of Lacus, right after saying she didn't know a blue-haired coordinator, which was obliviously him, while walking away from Lacus.
She thinks further, come on. I was casually walking pass the kitchen onboard the Kusanagi, after one of our meetings. When I nearly bumped into one really worried and rushed person, Lacus! She looked worried beyond worried and in such a rush.

"LACUS!"
"Are you okay, Lacus? You look very worried," she paused to look around, "where's Kira, is he okay? I never really see you two apart." I commonly stated the way over oblivious.
"Woah 1 question at a time, Cagalli, but yes, I'm okay, never been better, and actually Kira is uh, I don't know right now but I'm sure he's 100 fine as well, and what do you mean we're never apart?" Lacus replied calmly with her usual smile but I knew she was lying… she wasn't okay, it was written all over her face. She really can't lie. So I questioned further, you know as a friend.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, the tapping soon stopped. Was that footsteps, I heard? Nah can't be, if it was it would have been louder and would have last longer. Ah I'm losing it!
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, but I do recall I never see you and a certain blue-haired coordinator ever apart either." Replied Lacus sweetly.
Ahh! She's turning it on me, omg…am I'm actually BLUSHING! Come on, it's oblivious she's talking about Athrun, ahh….
"I, uh…don't know who you're talking about. And well, I, got to get back to, umm… check on Athrun." Stupid, stupid STUPID! I don't know who she's talking about yet I say the only person I know with blue hair and a coordinator right after she said that... stupid.
"I, uh…got to go, I, um, well see you later." I managed to say out, before quickly scampering away…

Meanwhile a lost in thought Kira was thinking to himself
I can't believe she said that! I, I really love her, yet she doesn't love me back, I, I WANT TO DIE RIGHT NOW! She was the reason why I'm still here, alive and living after I let down Fllay and all the others when the war finally ended. During that time something washed over me, some call it guilt but I couldn't freaking protect here, or the little civilian with pigtails on the Archangel last time…
Tears now forming in the corners of his eyes again…
But a part of me 'died' as well, the part where I admired here most but I still thought of her and her last words…Fllay, I'm so sorry. I let you down again! What good am I, a coordinator chosen to save the world if I can't even protect the ones I love…? I should just kill myself…and I loved you Fllay, just why did you have to die…?why couldn't you stay alive a little longer for me…?
DAMN YOU LECRUSET!
----------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Yamato, Mr. Yamato," a sweet voice interrupted his thoughts on the end of the war between the coordinators and the naturals.
"Mr. Yamato, are you awake?" the same sweet voice calling for him from the end of what it seemed to be at the end, the light of a long dark tunnel.
He slowly began reaching out for that light and soon he was almost back to his normal self…at least as normal as it gets after war.
War does make one grow.
"Mr. Yamato, what are you looking at outside, this early?"
"It's beautiful, isn't it? I mean the sunrise, it's truly amazing…able to shine brightly down at us, through all the aftermath of war."
"Yes, yes it is Mr. Yamato …" she said as she gently laid her head on his shoulder."
Something only couples would do.
"I, Lacus…" he trailed off.
"Yes, Mr. Yamato?"
"I'm not ready for this, not just yet…I let down Fllay…I knowthat I was just a war toy. But I still loved for her. I don't know if I can protect you, I want to, but I'm not strong enough…not yet, I'm terribly sorry" He replied after a moment of thinking.
"It's quite alright. I understand." Answered Lacus sweetly, wearing on her sweet smile, but her eyes deceived her, her blue crystal eyes filled with hurt and rejection…
"I'm so sorry…it's just…" He was saying until he was interrupted…
"No, no, I understand, but I just want you to know that I love you and I'll always be waiting for you, okay?"
"Okay!" he replied with a true smile on his face, not the crappy fake one, that was to make everyone stop asking him questions but a true smile, a smile so true that it hasn't been worn by the owner since the death of Fllay…
--------------------------------------------------------------End of Flashback-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kira thinks further, but I love her, really really love here, her smile here sweet voice her petite curves, soft lips…damn it, she said she loves me, yet… I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! I'm seriously going to kill myself and this time I mean it but…
Back to Lacus
sigh
She didn't realize that I was lying, PHEW! But was that footsteps I heard while we were talking..? Nah, can't be, can it? Oh well, although, if I were Kira, where would I be…
…
The Bridge!
She scurried away to the bridge in hope of finding Kira, her beloved. But as she was making her way to the bridge, she heard faint cries, she quickly changed her course to follow to faint cries. Closer the closer she got, the louder they were.
It has to be Kira!
As she finally reached the crying person, she realized that...
