Summary: They all had reasons to fight, reasons to live, to breath. For some it was love, for others strength, and for some vengence. For her it was loyalty, her loyalty to him and to everyone. This... was her loyalty.
Kira sighed, looking out the large window on the Archangle's bridge. His knew that someone stood behind him, their hesitant steps told him that it was one of the two girls. He ran a hand through his brown hair as he leaned farther against the railing that was both holding him in place and keeping him away from the space closest to the window.
"Kira…" her voice called out softly, hoping to help him if he was broken once more, though she was as well. They all were.
He turned around, smiling slightly, awkwardly, to the pink-haired pop singer that stood before him.
"I um…" Lacus looked down. "I want to thank you, for all of us. You've done so much and…" Kira raised an eyebrow at Lacus' behavior; this was unlike her, as far as he knew at least.
Just as he was about to respond the red light positioned above his head went off, accompanied by a siren that seemed loud enough to alert the enemy of their presence, though the siren meant that they already knew.
Lacus frowned and Kira mimicked the action as he turned around and headed toward the hanger.
"Kira…" he stopped dead and turned slowly. There was something… something in her voice.
"Thank you." She said, leaning in to kiss his cheek. "Please do not die."
He took her hand in his and promised that he wouldn't before turning around once more to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Lacus smiled at his back, relief finally washing over her. She would remain here, and he would remain on the battlefield, they were both so loyal to their positions it seemed that they were made for each other. The thought was enough to make her laugh, even in the situation, as she turned back to watch the battle, all the while praying for the safety of her friends and Kira.
This… was her loyalty.
