Papers were flying through the air, followed by the sound of pounding but were made by a soft surface. It was Cagalli. Having another one of her rant sessions on the bed with Athrun at the Sleazy hotel…

"Cagalli calm down we'll figure something out." Athrun was lying down the bed exhausted from the countless rounds he shared with Cagalli, but is now going through the documents he stole from his father's office.

Cagalli scampered to the window, "FUCK THIS FUCKING SHIT!" she shrieked at the top of her lungs.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" a stranger's voice shouted back at her and threw a can at the veranda where Cagalli was standing.

"GET A LIFE YOU FRIGGIN' MANIAC!" Cagalli screamed back at him.

Athrun, with all his might got up from the queen size, ambled towards Cagalli and gave her a firm embrace, "Cagalli, that's enough. C'mon were gonna be late for our next class…"

Cagalli shed a tear but quickly wiped it off, "Athrun…?"

Athrun lifted Cagalli's chin with his fore finger, "Yes?"

She held him tight, "I hope this won't be our last…"

Athrun leaned in and gazed upon the topaz eyes that he loved so much, "Never…"

Cagalli smiled, and then they kissed, filled with passion.

It was noon time at Orb Institute, and it was just another typical day for most of the students, having lunch, sharing gossip, taking a crap at the toilet, and hiding behind the dark walls of the school building.

"Millie! Hey Millie!" a high pitched voice was calling out to Miriallia, who was sitting on the benches with Dearka and Kira.

Miriallia turned around, "Oh hey, Luna, Meyrin hi!"

Luna glared at Dearka, "Excuse us for a sec…" she then pulled Millie away from them.

Dearka smiled a cocky smile, then with a cocky voice he said, "sure no problem!"

Meyrin looked at Dearka and Kira, "Humph!" and strode off after Miriallia and Luna.

Luna stared into Millie's face with her arms crossed, "Ugh! Millie! Why are you hangin' out with them?"

Meyrin placed her palms on her hips and said, "Yeah…!" with a mocking voice and her lips were twitching, a signal for people that she was getting frustrated.

Millie was surprised and had a sarcastic look on her face, "Why…? What's wrong with Dearka and Kira?"

Luna was as surprise as Millie, her eyes was up to the sky, with two of her hands moving back and forth near her face, as if she was fanning her face, "Oh god! I am so like totally not hearing this! You actually like hangin' with them! Millie open your peepers! Their like surfer dudes with horrid accents!"

Millie crossed her arms and her eyebrows brought to the center, "Well, Lu-na! What kind of guys should we hang with!"

Luna began to shriek like a giddy little girl, "like duh! Haller! Yah know like Shinn! He's an awesome football player and a straight A and he's got a hot bod! Gets it? Oh! Or I could introduce you to the Basketball players! I know one of them he's also like totally hot and--"

Millie moved her palm to face Luna's face, "Ugh! Talk to the hand Luna coz you are so like lame! Your friends are maybe hot, but all they want are your bods!"

Meyrin cupped her mouth with her palms and looked back and forth at Millie and Luna. And Luna began to fume, as she noticed the people already staring at her, "you'll regret this Millie! I will not tolerate this humiliation!"

Millie raised a brow, "make me!"

Luna clenched her fists and began to grumble and stormed off, "C'mon Meyrin!"

Millie sighed, but felt very victorious, for she had never stood up for herself before, and she has tolerated Luna's ego far too long!

Dearka raised his hand, as Millie approached them, "Man, Millie you were like ice!"

Dearka and Kira began to cheer.

Millie could not stop smiling, "okay you guys that's enough! You're embarrassing me!"

Dearka couldn't help himself, "He-he-he okay okay!"

Millie glanced at Kira, who was now busy with his cell phone, "Lacus right?"

Kira looked at Millie, "Yeah… its' been months now, and I still don't have the guts to tell her… and yes even though we danced last night, it's not that easy you know."

Millie began one of her testimonies, "The problem with Lacus, is that even if she does like you, she probably hasn't figured it out herself, and when she finds out you like her, in the first few days she'll avoid you fore sure, whether she likes you or not. That's the way she is you know; she's an emotional midget in that way, but that's one of the reasons why you love her, I'm sure. I think she likes you though."

Dearka took a gulp from his daily morning beer, and began his testimony as well,

"You dufus. Of course she likes you. I can't explain it. I just know, OK? And you know what else? I don't care if you say that she'll run away the moment you pop the question. My friend, you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. So you might as well do."

Kira began to think that for the first time in Dearka's life, he was right.

Kira and Dearka were now in their Philosophy class, with Crueset as their Professor. While Millie is at the next classroom having her Logic class.

Kira's POV:

Mia was in our philosophy class, and I had first noticed her early in the year when an answer from the class awoke me from my usual stupor. "We're all brainwashed to look for love. But why? It's a value that is taught to us, but we really don't need it." I looked around for who was speaking and saw Mia.

Dearka, who sat beside me, had let out a series of potent swear words.

"What a fox, man," he said to me. "What a fox."

Mia was smart and has a quick mouth: a deadly combination. She was opinionated when the other girls chose to be cute; flirtatious when they chose to be virtuous. And it was with Mia that my Professor paired me for a paper that would count as one third of our grade.

Dialogue, according to our transsexual professor, was one way to the truth. According to Mia, "Dialogue is a compromise, a sales pitch, a 30-second advertising spot. 'Need me. Love me. Buy me.' That's what dialogue is about" and Dialogue, because of Mia's views on it, was the topic our professor gave us for our paper.

So for the next few days, Kira spent every spare moment with Mia. They talked about everything. "Without dialogue," Kira told Mia, "how can we live with other people? How can we know what they think or believe or feel?"

Mia smiled at him, "Good one Kira!"

Kira was fascinated with Mia. He had never met anyone like her before (except for the fact that she strangely looks a lot like Lacus).

Mia's freedom was contagious and intoxicating. Kira was hypnotized by her pouty lips and her wicked eyes.

In fact, Kira was so fascinated he almost forgot about Lacus entirely.

Kira was having lunch with Mia, when Dearka jumped to join in, "Hey man, can we talk?"

Kira looked in Dearka's eyes and noticed that he was serious, "Sure man. Mia excuse us just a sec will yah?"

Mia grinned one of her captivating smiles, "Oh yeah sure guys take your time!"

Dearka handed Kira a piece of folded paper, "Hey man this is for ya. It's from Lacus."

Kira opened it and it read, "Dear Kira/I need to talk to you after school. L."

Kira couldn't think of anything else for the rest of the school time. Being with Mia may have put Lacus out of sight and out of mind, but he really had begun to miss Lacus.

The bell rang. As Kira got up from his desk to look for Lacus, Mia came up to him and said, "You know, Kira, now that the paper's finish, I'm going to miss talking to you."

Kira was enthralled, "Well who says we have to stop talking to each other?" he replied.

Mia laughed, "Well, I'd love to dialogue with you again, one day." She said in a naughty tone. And then she tousled Kira's hair fondly at about the same time Lacus walked up to them.

"Lacus," Kira said, surprised at how much the mere sight affected him so much.

Lacus just looked at Kira and then at Mia, opened her mouth to say something but decided against it and instead, turned around and walked out of the room.

"What's her problem?" Mia asked.

Kira watched Lacus disappear from his view, "I have no idea." He told Mia. And he really didn't.

Kira ran after her Lacus, while waving goodbye to Mia. He tried to get passed the escalating crowd and tried his best to look for Lacus. And finally, he caught sight of her.

"Lacus!" Kira yelled, but it was beyond ear's reach, so he ran faster to catch up to her, due to his increasing speed he could not stop in time, bumped unto Lacus and fell on top of her.

Lacus shut her eyes tight, blushed and covered Kira's mouth with both of her palms. Upon realization, Kira got off of Lacus, blushing, and SLAP!

"How dare you…!" Lacus screamed.

The crowd stopped on their footsteps and stopped at whatever they were doing and looked at Kira and Lacus.

Lacus covered her lips with shock, and froze.

Kira grabbed Lacus hand and dashed through the hallways and out the door.

They sat at a quiet café, just a few blocks away from school. Finally face to face with Lacus, he took a deep breath, and confessed that he was hiding from her. He told Lacus that an irrational fear had come over him, and he couldn't explain it.

Lacus just smiled at Kira in a strange way, she was still shock at what happened back in school, and was nervous of what her socialite friends might say.

Then after a couple of seconds Lacus spoke, "I understand." She smiled. No, not a strange one, but the kind of smile that reminded Kira of how much he loved her.

Kira and Lacus talked and chatted like how they used to, about the days they didn't spend together and about Mia, their friends, school, movie stars, and many other stuff college studs' converse about.

After talking and laughing particularly hard, a silence settled over the two of them. Neither of them felt the urge to say anything and it was ok. Lacus started fiddling with her hair and making noises with her fork and glass.

Kira was busy thinking, for some time now there was something on his mind. Kira had been thinking of it a lot lately, and before he knew what he was doing, he spoiled the quiet moment and blurted out, "Hey, do you want to go out tonight?"

Lacus raised her head to look at Kira. She had a slightly puzzled look on her face, "You mean with Millie and Dearka?"

"Um," Kira struggled with words, "no…ah… I was thinking just the two of us, you know…"

"Like a date?" There it was. Lacus said it.

"No," Kira said right away, "nothing like that."

Lacus opened her mouth to say something, but Kira jumped right back in.

"No," Kira said again. "Yes, it's a date. It's definitely a date."

Lacus flashed him one of her famous smiles, "I would love to go."

Kira's face brightened, "Great! Hum… would you want me to use my car? Or yours?"

"Mine! We could use mine, uh if you want… but which one?" Lacus said shyly, her eyes looking at the ceiling with her finger on her chin.

Kira remembered that Lacus' cars were only light tinted, and he hates those.

Kira hesitated for a while, "Let's use mine Lacus… is that ok with you?"

"Oh! Yeah sure no problem!" by the looks of it, she was more excited than Kira.

Later that evening Kira picked up Lacus from her house with his Chevy optra car that was heavily tinted, and went to the malls to catch a movie, afterwards they went to a Spanish restaurant and ordered paella for two.

Kira stared at Lacus while she was eating; the candlelight's glow complemented her cerulean eyes, her fair smooth skin and flowing pink hair. Kira could stay like that forever; just staring into deep oceanic eyes and drowns himself in them.

"Kira, you're staring again." Lacus exclaimed.

"Oh uh s-sorry! My bad!" Kira dropped his fork on the plate making a loud clanging sound that disturbed the other customers; out of utter humiliation Kira bowed his head making a shadow cover his face.

Lacus giggled, "Don't worry Kira; I'm sure that they won't remember afterwards…"

Kira looked at Lacus and his worries instantly disappeared, "Thanks Lacus."

"So Kira where do we go after this…?" Lacus said as she rested her chin on top of her hands, elbows on the table.

Kira removed the main course's spoon out of his mouth and gulped the food down his throat, took a sip from his water as fast as he could, "How about you Lacus? Where do you want to go?"

Lacus' eyes lit up, "Hmm… I know this place where I and the gals used to go on weekends."

A woman with a navy blue robe and hood with moon and star patches, moved her adorned hands round and about a crystal ball, she was of middle age, with half-moon glasses, "…And you vill ah both be ah successful in ah vatever you do!" the woman predicted in a strange accent, almost like of Transylvanian.

Kira leaned unto Lacus' side and whispered, "Hmm… not so bad…"

The woman dressed in strange clothes dusted her hands and said, "Zat vill be ah thirty ah M."

Kira was shocked, "Thirty!"

Lacus whispered to Kira, "It's alright. My friends and I always come to this place. She knows me. She'll give us a discount."

Kira had a worried yet smiling look on his face, "Really…"

The woman stood up from her seat and went inside a curtain, "Vat since I ah know zis girl, I'm ah giving you discount. I vill be back in a minute! Costume gives me terrible itch!"

Kira scratched his head and faced Lacus, "Her predictions were too general."

Lacus smiled with her eyes almost closed, "I don't mind. It's for fun."

The woman came out of the curtain this time with out the robe and was smiling happily, "Whew! That's better! This is my real voice by the way! Damn accent almost became permanent!"

Kira handed the woman the money, "Here you go ma'am. Thanks."

The woman rubbed her throat then reached in for the money, "So… you're newly weds?"

Kira and Lacus were dumbstruck.

The three of them sat down at the table again, "No need to answer—you look like a lovely couple, Ever heard of the 'clasping of hands'?"

Kira and Lacus were silent. And the woman continued, "No? The 'Clasping of hands' is that God damn secret to all relationships!"

The woman brought her hands together her fingers lacing each other, "See? Clasping!"

Then she took Kira's left hand and Lacus' right, "Look… the fingers represent our good sides… and the gaps between them—our shortcomings. Now watch this--."

She drew Kira and Lacus' fingers together, "We bump our fingers together—our good sides—and what happens? There's tension! Conflicts! Painful too."

Then she laced their fingers almost fully, "but… if we allow the other person to fill in the gaps…to fill in our shortcomings…we create harmony. This is where the fun begins!"

Now Kira and Lacus' fingers are laced fully and the woman let go of them,

"A Link is made. An unbreakable union. Hence the clasping of hands."

Kira and Lacus hands were still clasping, "Pretty neat, eh?"

The woman yawned, "Well… I gotta go get some rest. There'll be wierdos tomorrow who'll be talking to me about tormented souls an' stuff."

Kira and Lacus let go of each other and proceeded to the door.

Both of them turned around and waved goodbye, "We'll see you. Thanks." Lacus said with twinkles in her eyes.

When Kira and Lacus were almost outside the door, the woman called out to them once more, "Hey! Don't forget what I told you about that clasping thing!"

Kira gave out a smile and waved at her again, "We won't!"

"It's the only truth I know!"

In the upcoming chappies there will be Lemons! everyone rejoice, ow! no throwing of rotten tomatos please!
