What she was doing out on the porch of the beach house only five minutes before her wedding Lacus Clyne did not know.

What she did know was that for the first time in her life she was terrified and it had nothing to do with losing some one she loved or a war.

What she was afraid of was quite the opposite actually. And that was what confused her so much. After all how often did you hear of the bride getting cold feet?

Letting out a deep sigh, Lacus sank to her knees resting her head on her arms as she stared out at the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean. She wasn't worried about getting dirty, after all she still hadn't put on her beautiful white wedding gown. She had been too overcome with nerves to even get the buttons undone on it.

She was both glad and sad at that moment that everyone had gone ahead of her to the church.

Glad because no one was around to see her in her moment of weakness.

Sad because no one was around to help her in her moment of weakness.

Of course the person who always helped her the most during her moments of fear and weakness was the very person she was avoiding and as she heard the clock chime 2:00 p.m had undoubtedly caused great pain at that very moment. After all she had been expected at the church a good twenty minutes ago.

The thought of the pain she had just inflicted on him by not turning up at their wedding made a sharp gasp of heart wrenching sorrow escape her lips. The pain that was burrowing even deeper into her heart was worsen as her mind's eye brought to the fore front an image of his deep purple eyes filled with sorrow and confusion.

Letting out a soft sob, Lacus buried her face in her arms and cried out, " I'm so sorry Kira. I just wish I could know if you would still have chosen me, if she had lived!"

" Yes."

At the sound of a deep voice, a voice oh so soft and oh so sweet, Lacus leapt to her feet and spun around. There standing in the door way that lead back into the house was the love of her life, Kira Yamato.

As he took a step towards her she held out her hand as if to wield him off and in a voice still shaking from her tears said, " Please don't touch me Kira, if you touch me I will believe you and then where will I be? Trapped in a marriage were the love is one sided? I can't do that Kira. I just can't!"

Her sorrow and fears once again overwhelming her, Lacus felt her knees begin to buckle but just as she was about to hit the floor, Kira's arms were around her holding her close in a embrace of such care and warmth that Lacus could not bring herself to leave it.

Sobbing into his chest she tried to both shove him away and draw him closer at the same time.

Her sobs finally quieting, Lacus kept her head down not daring to look into Kira's eyes. But in a rather frustrating move he gently took her chin in his hand and still keeping her in a semi tight embrace with his other arm he forced her eyes to meet his.

Looking into his deep purple eyes, eyes that reflected her sorrow, she also saw in them his deep constant love for her. Love that was at the same time sweet, yet passionate, and above all always true. She knew that. She did.

But she still could not help but wonder if he would have still loved her if Fllay had lived.

Why this mattered she did not know, but it seemed that now on the day that was suppose to be the happiest day of her life, a ghost long buried had come to haunt her once again. And as this fear, this ghost tormented her now weary with grief mind she looked up at the man she loved and whispered, " Please Kira, tell me truthfully would you have loved me if she had lived?"

And once again, he whispered as his lips came down to cover hers, " Yes."

In that kiss so full of love and longing, longing to be understood and trusted, Lacus knew that his answer was the truth, and so with shining eyes now free of the fear that had held her hostage, she looked up and said with an impish if watery smile, " It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding."

Kira's eyes that had been so worried that she might not believe him, that she might not realize how much he loved her, how he had always loved her ever since they had talked in the corridor of the Archangel after Fllay's father died and he had felt like his world was coming to pieces and she had so sweetly comforted him even though she barely knew him.

Those eyes now filled with joy at her rather silly comment and with a smile that held both love and relief he said, " I don't believe in luck." And with another quick kiss he whispered in her ear, " I will be waiting for you outside."

Lacus smiled with her love for him shining all over her face and said, " Then as soon as I am ready I will return to your side."

The guests of the wedding of Lacus Clyne and Kira Yamato readily excepted the excuse that the bride had been late to her wedding because of difficulties with her dress. After all with a couple so obviously in love with each other as those two were, what else could the problem have been?

Author's notes: I am sorry if this seems a little off when it comes to their realtionship in Destiny. Having not seen Destiny only read alot about it, most of what I know about Kira and Lacus's realtionship comes from the first season and oddly enough the first book of Gundam Seed that was recently released over here. So I apologize if I didn't write them very well.

I hope you enjoy it even if it is a little off. Thank you so much for reading it!

Thank you to:inulover4eva, D.Torres, Red Eyed Divine Dragoon 77415, kari480 thank you so much for reviewing it was very kind of you.

inulover4eva, thank you for the compliment. I do not know if I will do a Cagalli one. I might if a lot of people ask for one. Thank you again for your kind words.

D.Torres, Thank you for reading and reviewing. Sorry about not explaining myself better, with the drabbles regarding the girls who have died I decided to make them AU so they don't connect in anyway to the other ones. With Lunamaria I just thought that with the way Gundam Seed Destiny was headed there was no one else she would marry. I am sorry about making it seem like Shinn was a polygamist. It truly was not my intention.

Red Eyed Divine Dragoon 77415, thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy the Kira and Lacus story.

kari480, thank you for reading. I am so glad that you enjoyed the Dearka and Miriallia story.

Please review!

God bless you, Jesus loves you,
