Chapter 5

Truth

Kira started preparing for work as soon as he woke up; he quickly gathered all the necessary things he needed and quickly left. He wanted to be early so he had sometime to talk with Lacus.

I have to tell her the truth today… but how am I going to say it? Maybe if I wait till tonight when I drop her off…Kira thought.

Kira made his way up the elevator. He walked in to find Lacus chatting with Miri. By the look on their face he could clearly tell Lacus was talking to her about last night. Miri immediately stopped talking. As Miri was leaving and Kira was entering Miri just smiled at him before leaving the room.

Okay yeah she definitely knows about last night Kira thought as he sighed. "Hi Kira" Lacus said blushing not knowing how to start of the conversation. "Hey beautiful" Kira said softly making Lacus blush.

Kira's eyes quickly scanned the room. There wasn't anyone here but Lacus and Kira. Kira gave her a soft kiss. Lacus kissed back but then quickly pulled away blushing,

"Kira…no…not here…" Lacus said nervously as Kira pressed his lips to hers once more before anyone could come in.

"Sorry, I was thinking about doing that all mourning" Kira said. Lacus blushed again.

"I got to check something Lacus, I'll see you on the floor" Kira said.

"Ok…" Lacus replied. Kira quickly went to his computer and booted it up. As soon as the OS loaded up there was an attention letter.

'Attention allstuff, Athrun will be coming by to check and see if all our work is up to date first thing in the mourning. Please be prepared, those who did not complete previous assignments will be severely punished'

Why do I get the feeling that this has something to do about the work she gave me yesterday? Kira thought. Kira quickly signed in on msn to speak with Athrun.

Kira says:

today is going to be the day Athrun

Kira says:

I promise she's going to get fired today

Athrun (That red haired bitch needs to die! 666) says:

Really? What are you going to do?

Kira says:

I don't know but today is my last day; I'll make sure she gets fired

Athrun (That red haired bitch needs to die! 666) says:

you don't know how happy those words make me feel

Athrun (That red haired bitch needs to die! 666) says:

but what about Lacus? Are you seriously with her now?

Kira says:

yeah pretty much, I just need to tell her the truth, that's the hard part, but anyways I got an attention letter, you're coming down soon?

Athrun (That red haired bitch needs to die! 666) says:

Yeah I got an email from Fllay last night she told me she wanted me to do a check on everyone's work, she said she wanted to take a look at somebody specifically, I have a feeling you're that somebody

Kira says:

LOL! Oh I can't WAIT!

Athrun (That red haired bitch needs to die! 666) says:

ME TOO!

Athrun (That red haired bitch needs to die! 666) says:

I'm on my way down now, see yeah soon, later

Kira says:

alright, see ya soon

Kira closed msn as he saw Lacus seated at to her seat. Lacus was about to speak to Kira till Fllay opened her door.

"Everyone to you're seats now. Athrun is on his way over!" Fllay raised her voice as she shut her door.

"Wow what's her problem" Lacus said. Kira quickly loaded up the camera so he could spay on Fllay. Once it loaded up he kept it small so no one could see what he was doing.

As Kira looked closer he saw Fllay sitting down with her arms crossed and her eyes were twitching like she was about to kill somebody. Holy shit that's freaky! This must be what Athrun was talking about, talk about two faced Kira thought

--------------

Athrun walked into the department and started to greet people. He pretty much ignored almost everyone and went straight to Lacus.

"Good mourning Lacus how are you?" Athrun asked

"I'm fine" Lacus replied. Athrun turned his head to the left and saw Kira. "How about you Kira, any problems" Athrun asked

"No sir. But I-" Kira replied but was interrupted as Fllay walked up to them and yelled out Kira's name. Athrun just watched from the same distance as Lacus did as Fllay began to snap at Kira

"Kira when I give you an assignment I expect it to be done on time, if it's not done on time you don't go home till it's done! You don't go home as you please! Now you can explain to Athrun why you haven't completed the assignment yesterday" Fllay said with a snobbish tone.

Kira…is this how you were going to get her fired? All this is going to do get you in trouble. Athrun thought.

Kira gave Fllay a dull look as if he was talking to a dog. What are you talking about? You idiot, I uploaded it in you're drop box. Kira thought.

Lacus was a little afraid. Oh no, did I forget to tell Kira where to summit assignments? Oh no, I did! Kira is getting in trouble because of me. Lacus slapped herself mentally.

Kira began to talk in a calm voice. Everyone in the department had all eyes on Kira. "Is that so? Then where are you supposed to summit assignments?" Kira asked.

Fllay got really pissed thinking Lacus forgot to tell Kira where to summit you're assignments.

"My drop box that's on everyone's computer, did Ms. Clyne forget to tell you" Fllay glared over at Lacus.

Kira what's going on? Athrun thought to himself.

Oh no this is my fault. I should tell Fllay before Kira gets himself in a worse situation then he already is right now. Lacus said mentally. Lacus stood up and was about to speak up and apologize on her behalf until Kira interrupted spoke before she did.

"Fllay how often do you check you're drop box for assignments?" Kira asked.

"Eh?" Fllay felt a little nervous. I didn't check for his assignment, but there's no way he could have finished on time, that's just impossible! She said to herself.

"Well did you check?" Kira asked. Everyone was watching Kira and Fllay's argument.

Athrun was jumping for joy in his heart. He of course trusted Kira. Kira did it! I can already tell! Fllay is busted! Athrun thought mentally.

"Of course I did!"Fllay yelled. "Then you won't mind showing Athrun" Kira smiled.

Dearkka, Miri, Lacus, and everyone else were shocked at Kira's attitude. No one had ever spoken like this to Fllay before. "Fine, come this way Athrun, Kira"

I can't believe I wanted you! No one talks to me like this! No one! Fllay screamed mentally. Kira and Athrun went into Fllay's office. The door to her office was shut everyone started to gossip.

"Wow I hope Kira did the right thing, I'd love to see Fllay get in shit" Dearkka said.

"Yeah, me too" Miri said. Lacus still had her eyes fixed at the door to Fllay's office.

Kira…

-------------------------------------------

Fllay sat down at desk and logged onto her computer. She went straight to the drop box and browsed for Kira's name she searched and searched until she saw a file under Kira's folder.

Oh shit! I can cover this! No wait he probably just added this last second when he saw the notice on the computer. It couldn't have been completed I'll just open it and browse through to show Athrun nothing was finished. Fllay thought

"This file wasn't here yesterday Kira, you do know that summiting incomplete work is unacceptable" Fllay said coldly.

"Yes I know I'm not stupid" Kira replied. Fllay opened up the file, and started looking through. Athrun watched the screen as Fllay was browsing through Kira's work.

Oh yes! This is enough info alone to sack her! Kira you're the greatest! Athrun thought

Oh no I screwed up…I should have checked quickly last night! Shit I'm screwed! Wait when was this submitted…yesterday at around 4:45pm? What the hell that's impossible!

Fllay screamed mentally. "It's people like you who deserve to be in hell" Kira said coldly.

"Kira…" Athrun said. "What did…?" Fllay was interrupted. "Someone who does nothing all day and forces her own work on others. You're the type of person who's been spoiled all her life. When you see something you want, you get them" Kira said.

"Kira, enough" Athrun tone was dripping with excitement. Oh I've been waiting along time for this moment! It's a good thing I set my computer to record the camera before I came down here. Athrun said mentally

"Fllay, you're fired, pack up all you're things and leave the premises" Athrun said in a very professional behavior.

Fllay stood speechless at what just happened. She couldn't believe what had just happened.

--------------------------------

Athrun and Kira walked out of Fllay's office. Athrun felt he had to reward everyone. "Attention everyone, I'm sending you all home for the rest of the week with pay" Athrun said joyfully.

"Athrun what are you doing?" Kira asked

"Ha-ha I'm celebrating of course" Athrun whispered to Kira "Everyone was suddenly over whelmed by the good news. Who wouldn't be after getting a week off with pay. Everyone started to leave. There was a bit of confusion as to what happened in Fllay's office though.

Almost as soon as Athrun left, Lacus approached Kira.

"Kira what happened" Lacus asked. Kira smiled.

"I'll tell you later when no one is around" Kira said

"…Ok" Lacus said

"Lacus are you doing anything now?" Kira asked as he started to blush

"umm…no" Lacus replied

"You want to go somewhere?" Kira asked nervously

"Kira, are you asking me out?" Lacus smiled giving the cutest pair of eyes. Kira loved it when she looked at him like that.

"Yeah" Kira said

"I'd love too" Lacus smiled.

Kira then got his jacket and started to walk ahead to the elevator. Lacus quickly gathered her things, said her goodbyes, and speeded up to Kira's side grabbing on to his arm

Dearkka and Miri watched from afar.

"What was that!" Dearkka observed.

"They started dating I think" Miri said. Dearkka's head jerked up

"What, already? That was fast!" Dearkka said.

-------------------------------

Kira yawned as he entered his car. "So Lacus, what do you want to do?" Kira asked.

"I don't know, anything is fine as long as I get to be with you" Lacus she blushed.

Kira found himself blushing like mad.

"hmm…How about an amusement park?" Kira suggested. "Really! You'll take me?" Lacus said getting overjoyed like a child

Lacus looked so cute when she said that Kira couldn't resist, he moved in and kissed her. Lacus accepted the kiss and push herself in more for a more passionate kiss.

------------------

Athrun went up to his office he pulled out his cell and called Cagalli. It rang a couple of times before Cagalli answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Cagalli, Kira did it! We got rid of her!" Athrun said.

"Well that's good to hear, I knew Kira would pull through, he usually does" Cagalli said with no sense of excitement. Guess you really need to know who Fllay is before you can truly understand.

"We need to celebrate. I'm on my way home now" Athrun said.

"What? Athrun don't you have work?" Cagalli said

"I'm taking the rest of the week off" Athrun said

"I'm on my way home now, see you soon" Athrun said

"Ok, bye" Cagalli put down the phone. She starred at her left. She was lost in her sudden thought

---------------------------------

Kira and Lacus started through the park. Lacus saw a love boat path down by a small lake.

"Kira I want to go on that!" Lacus begged Kira giving him the puppy eye's

A love boat? That's where couples go to make out Kira thought.

"Why do you want to go on that? That's where couples go to make out" Kira grinned.

"So…you don't want to…?" Lacus said sadly.

Kira smiled and grabbed her hand and started walking in the direction of the love boat entrance.

Lacus grabbed Kira's arm and rested her head on his shoulder as they walked to the entrance.

There was no line at all. There was a boat ready right away. They quickly got on the boat. The boat was moving into a semi dark cave.

Lacus was seated beside Kira. She rested her head on his chest. Kira had his arm around her shoulder.

"Kira…I need to ask you something…" Lacus said. Kira looked over at Lacus

"What is it?" Kira asked

"umm… how…do you feel about me" Lacus asked. Kira's heart began to race.

"You're not going to use me and throw me away …are you?" Lacus said sadly

"Lacus, why would you think that?" Kira said

"…I just met you a few days ago…and we've already became this close…I just don't want you to leave me" Lacus said trying hard not show him any tears.

"Lacus, I'm not a player if that's what you're thinking, how I feel about you? This might sound crazy because we just a met a few days back, but from the moment I've met you, you're all I could think about, I know we don't know each other that well, but I'm crazy about you" Kira said.

Lacus' tears started to flow out as she grabbed Kira and kissed him

"I feel the same way" Lacus said. This time Kira pressed his lips to hers, causing Lacus to lean back into Kira's arm, he embraced her. After a few seconds Lacus opened her mouth for a more passionate kiss, Kira felt what Lacus was trying to do so he did the same.

--------------------------------------

Through out the rest of the day Kira, and Lacus were more passionate then ever towards each other, they couldn't keep there hands off each other.

Kira and Lacus sat down and began eating a funnel cake

While they were eating Lacus told Kira about her life growing up

"What you're father is Siegal Clyne?" Kira said

"Yes Kira, for the third time" Lacus said

"Lacus what are you doing in a place like this?" Kira asked.

"I don't know, I don't like publicity… well to tell you the truth my father, if I help him out, he's going to stick a bodyguard on me, I don't like being protected by strangers" Lacus said.

The word bodyguard kept echoing in Kira's head. I want to do something where I can protect people from harm, that's it! A bodyguard!

"Why don't you join you're father?" Kira said.

"Huh? Because I already said I don't like being protected by strangers" Lacus said

"Lacus, what if I was you're bodyguard?" Kira suggested

"Kira, you don't work for my father" Lacus said

"I'll just join, wouldn't you rather make a difference in your life? You're father is the chairmen of PLANT, you can make a difference if you join force's by his side" Kira said

"I understand what you're saying, but if I go, I don't want to be separated from you…" Lacus blushed.

"Lacus you won't if I join" Kira said.

"Kira, not everyone can just join you have to have a record of some sort that shows you have military experience" Lacus said.

"Lacus don't worry I'll get it in" Kira said

"Kira do you have military experience?" Lacus said

"No, well I'll tell you when we get to you're house after" Kira said

"…ok" Lacus said.

-------------------------------------------

Kira and Lacus spent the whole day at the park playing games, going on rides, and making out. Time had passed so quickly it was already dark, and they've been watching the fireworks for awhile. They were sitting down on the grass. Lacus had her head resting on Kira's shoulder as they watched the fireworks.

After awhile Kira started to hear snoring, he looked over at Lacus and saw her sleeping, Kira just smiled at her beautiful sleeping face.

It's pretty late, we should probably head back, but I don't want to wake her, she looks like she's in a deep sleep, I'll just carry her

Kira gently got up placing an arm under Lacus' legs and the other arm by her shoulders, he then lifted her up completely. Her head was still rested against Kira's shoulder

Kira started walking to his car not caring if anyone saw him carrying Lacus

Her body is so warm…Lacus started to mumble a little in her sleep.

"…Kira…I…love…you" she mumbled. Kira started to blush

she dreaming about me…

"I love you too Lacus" Kira gently put Lacus into the passenger side of his car, he then buckled her seatbelt, got in his car and drove to Lacus' house

------------------------------------------------

Kira parked his car in front entrance of Lacus' apartment building. Lacus was still asleep so Kira tried to wake her.

"Lacus, Lacus wake up, where at you're house" Kira said. Lacus opened her eyes wide

"Huh? Kira where are we?" Lacus asked. "You're house Lacus" he said.

"Weren't we watching the fireworks?" Lacus asked.

"Yeah we were, but you fell asleep, so I carried you to my car" Kira said blushing

Lacus started to blush as well.

"You… carried me? Kira why did you do that, you should have woken me up" Lacus blushed.

"I was going to, but you looked so peaceful I didn't want to wake you" Kira said.

Lacus' face turned red like a tomato.

"Lacus come on, I'll walk you up" Kira said. "…Umm… ok" Lacus said

-------------------------------------------

They reached Lacus' apartment door.

"Kira would you like to come in for a bit before you go?" Lacus asked

"Well I know you're tired but I really need to talk to you about something…"

Lacus entered her apartment and sat down on the sofa as did Kira

"Lacus before I say anything, I want to tell you that everything I said about you was the truth and the last thing I would ever want to do is hurt you" Kira said.

Lacus started to get really worried, it looked like Kira had to say something important

"…Ok" Lacus said

"Lacus, what do you think of Kira Yamato?" Kira said

"Kira Yamato…? All I know is that he's supposed to be one of the most brilliant, I mean he is the most brilliant person I've ever herd about, also herd he had-…why are you asking me this" Lacus said

"Because, I am Kira Yamato" Kira said feeling guilty.

"What, are you talking about?" Lacus said

"Lacus, I'm telling you that I'm Kira Yamato" Kira said

"There's no way, you can't be him, why would Kira Yamato be working at a place like marketing" Lacus asked. She was starting to get a little freaked out

"Athrun is a good friend, he asked me to help get rid of a problem he was having" Kira said.

"What problem" Lacus said

"Fllay, everyone is to scared to try and talk back to her, so he asked me to, I ended up finding out she wasn't doing any work at all, she forced her own work on her employees so she wouldn't have to worry about anything" Kira said.

"You really are Kira Yamato?" Lacus said

"Yeah, sorry I lied to you, are you mad at me?" Kira looked down. Lacus hesitated. A million things went through her mind. She had too many questions to many doubts. However Lacus followed what was in her heart.

"I don't care what you're name is, I love you" Lacus pressed her lips against Kira's

They kissed for about 20 seconds before Lacus parted from Kira. Lacus smiled

"Wait you created the OS we use at work right?" Lacus said

"umm…Yeah" Kira replied

"You made me go through the entire OS when you know more about it then I do" Lacus said

"Sorry, if it helps, I wasn't listening to you, I was just admiring you the whole time" Kira said. Lacus kissed Kira again.

"Lacus I love you too" Kira said. Lacus just smiled, she was too happy to say anything

"So…Kira…what happened today" Lacus said embracing Kira.

"Yeah Athrun fired Fllay" Kira said

"…Really?" Lacus said

"…Yeah" Kira said

"So if you're deal with Athrun is over does that mean you're not coming to work again?"

"…No" Kira said

"So I… won't see you at work anymore…" Lacus asked giving the saddest pair of eyes.

"Lacus I know you're father, I can make sure I'll be you're bodyguard if you work for you're father" Kira said.

"You know my father?" Lacus asked

"Yeah, Lacus I need to get back now, tomorrow I'll go and sign up for Clyne Faction force's" Kira said.

"You're really serious" Lacus asked

"Yeah, but that's only if you work for you're father" Kira said

"Then I'll phone my dad tomorrow and tell him I'm joining" Lacus said. Kira smiled.

"Alright Lacus, I'll hopefully see you tomorrow" Kira said

"Ok…" Lacus said. Kira quickly started to run before Lacus yelled out to him.

"Kira wait!"

"What is it?" Kira said. Kira walked back to Lacus.

Lacus walked up to Kira, and gave him a kiss

"I love you…" Lacus blushed

"I love you too…" Kira said. Kira then parted from her apartment

I can't believe I'm in love with Kira Yamato…Lacus said to mentally. The thought made her blush massively.

To be continued...
