Chapter 6: Start Of My Life
After the meeting with Athrun, Kira went home and was greeted by Lacus. Kira was so tired that he went to bathe and went straight of sleep after that. After Kira fell asleep, Lacus sat at his side, using her hands to stroke Kira's head.
Flashback (Lacus's POV)I couldn't believe my eyes. After reading the latest diary of Kira's diary, I was so sad, I felt like crying, and I did. I was truly very upset. Why didn't Kira told me about his true love, was he lying to me all along when he said he loved me? Did he falsely respond to my feelings because I was the one who helped him all along the previous war?
Why, Kira? I couldn't understand. I decided now, that I would not be happy marrying and living with a man I loved but he doesn't love me in return. If the person I love is happy, then so will I. If not, if he is not happy with me, I will let he go. Like a bird in a cage, I would not be happy if I am trapped within the heart of the person who doesn't love me. I've decided for myself this time, I'm going to let him fly, fly to somewhere he can be truly happy, this is first real decision even before, during, or after the war. I will give Kira my blessings…
In the present…Lacus decided to see Fllay for the first time ever since the war ended, she didn't want to see her at first, because she might have the feeling that Fllay hates her, for stealing Kira away from her. But this time, there was really a need; she must go to her, no matter what. From the information Lacus gathered from her friends, she found out that Fllay now owns a shop called 'Little Kiss', or more accurate, it was a boutique.
After Kira fell asleep, it was still early, only seven at night. As Lacus feels unsafe for the children, she asked Ramius to come over and look after the children. After a while, Ramius came and after thanking her, Lacus went off to find Kira's real love, Fllay Allster.
As Lacus arrived at the town, she found 'Little Kiss', and went inside the store. She was very impressed with a shop; the décor was splendid, the dresses were nicely designed and she knew that if she was just a regular customer in the shop she would purchase some dresses, maybe even half a dozen of them, they were really pretty.
As she went inside the shop, the bell rang a soft jingle, it was what Fllay would know that there were customers is the shop, and she would come out and greet them, assist them in choosing of the clothes if she must.
"Welcome to my shop!" Fllay called politely as she came out from the room behind the shop. She was carrying three boxes, which could well cover her face and her sight of seeing anyone. As she put down the boxes, she stood up and greeted again, knowing that it was rude greeting someone without facing or looking at them. As she saw Lacus, she stopped her greeting halfway, and she looked surprised.
"Hi there, Fllay." Lacus greeted politely. Fllay was quite surprised, she never thought a person like Lacus would look for her. "Hi, Lacus. I know that your wedding is three days away. Will you like to look at one of my dresses?" Fllay asked innocently, she had decided to switch the subject, which she clearly knew what it was. She had thought it has something to do with Kira.
Fllay immediately pretended to look for a suitable dress. Lacus sighed and looked at Fllay attentively, then said, "You don't have to hide it, Fllay." Fllay become surprised and stopped her actions. "I know you still love Kira." Lacus continued.
Fllay turned and looked at her, "So what?" She said like she couldn't care less. "We're over. So what if I like him? He doesn't love me anymore." "But…" Lacus wanted to say something but was cut off by Fllay. "Please get out of this shop." Fllay said softly, just loud enough for Lacus alone to hear. "GET OUT!" Fllay shout again when she realized Lacus wasn't moving from her spot. Lacus sighed and went out of the shop, leaving Fllay crying, tears streaming down her cheeks.
As Lacus went home, she realized something must be done. She know that she should be happy since she gets to marry Kira, but she will not be happy if she sees that the person she loves doesn't love her, or that he is sad. She will make the person happy, even if it means sacrificing her love for him…
On the wedding day…"Come on, Lacus, we're going to be late for the wedding ceremony!" Cagalli called, she was excited for her and Kira because she was her best friend, while the other is her brother. "Alright! I'm coming!" Lacus called out to Cagalli as she took out her hand phone and dialed the number of 'Little Kiss'.
"Hello. This is 'Little Kiss', Fllay Allster speaking." Fllay said at the other end of the line.
"Hello? Fllay? This is Lacus." Lacus said, pretending to sound panicky.
"What's up?" Fllay asked, surprised that Lacus called her. And she was especially concerned with a panicking tone of Lacus.
"I'm at the wedding place and Kira suddenly got injured! Please come help him. Quickly!" Lacus said, still using the same tone.
Fllay stood there, shocked. She wanted and needed to go to him right now. The phone slipped from her hand and she immediately sat off for the wedding place. She had known where it was since she had indeed read the invitation that Kira gave her. Although she knew it was pretty far from the town, she still continues to run, she couldn't help it. As she ran, she was thinking to herself that she was stupid not to get her car.
Lacus expected that Fllay might run out without saying goodbye or anything. She smiled. "Brilliant idea you got back there, huh, Lacus?" Cagalli said with a hint of anger in her voice. Apparently, she had overheard the conversation between she and Fllay. Lacus looked at her, smiling, and then she said, "Yup! It was brilliant alright." "What!" Cagalli shouted at her, "You're going to let that bitch have Kira even after you knew she had treated him like a puppet!"
Lacus smiled and said, "Kira still loves her, and so does Fllay. Even if I got Kira, I wouldn't be happy if I really wasn't the one who he wants to be with and loved. I want him to be happy. I hope you understand. It is like you and Athrun. I believe you want to be happy with him, right?" Cagalli blushed and said, "If you are really willing to let go, I'm here to support you." Apparently, what Lacus said about she and Athrun got to her. Cagalli smiled and Lacus thanked her.
After Lacus arrived at the wedding garden (A/N: It is an outdoor wedding in case you don't know.), she was thankful Fllay wasn't there yet. As they gathered, the priest was going to start the saying and all. But then, they heard a girl panting heavily and everyone started looking at Fllay. As Fllay caught her breath, she looked up and saw Kira in perfect condition. "Why? How?" said the surprised Fllay. Lacus smiled and went to her. Pushing her to her previous position. Apparently, Fllay finally realized that this was all a plan to make her go to the wedding. Kira was surprised.
"I wish you two eternal happiness." Lacus said peacefully to the couple when they stood next to each other. The two people looked shocked and so were the guests. "I know you two love each other. I was only a third party. Go ahead, Kira, make her your bride, and your wife." Lacus encouraged them.
Kira and Fllay blushed and Lacus nodded to the priest, then she turned to the guests and nodded. Knowing Lacus, they nodded in approval, because Lacus would want Kira to be happy, and they understood.
"Kira Yamato, are you willing to make Fllay Allster your wife, to take care of her at all times?" (A/N: Don't blame me for anything for the priest's saying. I've been to a wedding before but forgot all the words. Sorry.) The priest asked.
Kira nodded and said, "I do."
"And do you, Fllay Allster, making Kira Yamato your husband, to take care of him throughout your whole life?" The priest asked again, but to Fllay this time.
Fllay smiled and said, "I do."
"Kira Yamato, you may now kiss the bride." The priest said.
Kira leaned forward to Fllay and kissed her lips, which Fllay returned. As they did, the guests, including Lacus, clapped for them, wishing them eternal happiness forever and ever. As Kira and Fllay parted, they smiled at each other. "I thought you had forgotten about me ever since you got Lacus." Fllay said to Kira. "No, I didn't, I thought you had. But none of that matters now, just remember that I will always love you." Kira replied.
The newly-weds smiled at each other with a shine of happiness in their eyes, and on the background, is the setting of the sun, the happiness at the dawn…
Final Words
As I stepped into your world, I couldn't leave, I didn't want to. As I set my eyes on you, I couldn't leave them for a second, I'm too mesmerized by you. And then you said you love me, and I wondered why you would like someone like me, a person who treated you with ignorance, a person who initially rejected your love. But then you said that love has no need for explanation, and I thank you. That was the start of my life, our life…
