Shounen-ai; KiraxAthrun; this is the sequel to 'Learning Curve'.

It's supposed to take place a little while afterwards: days or months, you make the call.

Hm…

I don't have any thing to say for once.

Thanks for reviewing!

Oh, and this was done several days ago. FFnet was being stupid and wouldn't let me put it up. I was gonna wait until Friday once I got an 'all clear' but...meh.
Later later:

"So, come up with an answer?"

"An answer to what?"

"My question."

"WHAT question?"

"You know…"

"No I don't. Look Athrun, I'm real sorry but I have work to do. Would you mind waiting until later?"

"Well…"

"If not, please make this quick."

"Alright."

Amused but slightly annoyed smirk

"You know how Yzak and Dearka are together?"

"Of course. Yzak's mother fainted when she fount out. Then started planning their wedding when she woke up. It was….scary. I don't think I ever imagined her so…happy" (1)

Soft chuckle

"I found that sight slightly disturbing actually, not scary."

"Heh, so did Yzak and Dearka. The looks on their faces were priceless!"

"Especially considering all they told her was that they thought they might possibly be interested in dating each other."

"Heh."

Comfortable silence

"So…how does that connect to your mysterious question?"

Eye roll

"You mean you haven't figured it out?"

Confused blink

"Ummm…"

"Do you remember how you found out first? Before Yzak told his mother?"

"What? When?"

"Think about it."

"Hmmm…." Short silence "Oh, wait. I think I-OH….THAT question."

Bright blush

"Yep." Mischievous grin "That's the one. Do you have your answer?"

"W-well, I haven't really thought about it much."

Disappointment

"Not at all?"

"A tiny bit at first. But no, not much. I'm sorry."

Depression

"You sure?"

"I guess-."

Nervous silence

"Yes?"

"I guess I don't have a problem with it. I mean, I'm fine with Yzak and Dearka, so-."

"I get that. You're too nice to change your opinion of someone based on their gender preference. But what about you? How do you feel?"

"M-me? Feel like-like THAT?"

"Mhm."

Feigned indifference masking secret worry

"T-that's kinda personal."

"Well, we are best friends."

"I know, but…wait a minute, why do you care?"

Uh-oh.

"What?"

"Why do you care?"

"Because…well, you tell me first."

"Tell what? I'm not the one that keeps asking!"

Elation in the face of nervousness

"I mean, you answer the question first. Then I will."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

Blush. "Alright then I guess. I feel…well, if the right person comes along, a person I can click with completely, I will feel for them no matter what gender they are."

"Click with?"

"Yeah, you know; love and understand unconditionally, invite them into my life without hesitation or worry, confide in them without worrying about integrity or being judged…that sort of thing."

"I see."

Thoughtful silence

"So what about you?"

"Me?"

"Yes, you said you would answer now."

"I did, didn't I?"

"Yes, you did."

"Okay." Nervous shift "I suppose my view is much like yours. Gender doesn't matter so long as I care for the person."

"Alright, that's cool."

"Hm."

Uncomfortable silence

"Hey Athrun?"

"Yeah?"

"Why is this so important to you? I mean, if you already know yourself, what I think shouldn't matter."

"Well I guess-."

-BEEP-BEEP-

"Oh look at the time guess I've got to run. See you later!"

"Athrun get back here!"

"Sorry, I'm late as it is! Bye Kira!"

"Bye."

Kira mumbled and scowled at his best friend's retreat. Why had he done that? Kept pushing the point?

Had he been going to confess something?

That would certainly make sense. The coordinator paused in his work to concentrate. In fact, it would make a lot of sense.

His mind wandered to his definition of a perfect partner from earlier and he automatically compared Athrun to it.

Then went rigid in shock when he found the other boy perfect as compared to his dream.

"Well what do you know? Looks like he might have the right idea. But what if he doesn't? I mean, he implied a lot but he never actually said anything."

A devilish smile flickered across his face briefly as he returned to work.

If Athrun was too timid to reveal his hidden meanings and feelings, then Kira would need to do it for him.

Time for a role reversal.

End.
Again, not that funny and too long.

Too much progression, not enough humor.

(1) Just going off what I saw in the series. It wasn't that in depth.

Ya like?

If so, review. I don't know if I'm going to put any more installments up but I will if enough people want it.

Seeya later.
