The Friends Alliance

4

In the Clyne mansion, Lacus was sleeping peacefully in her bedroom, where the moonlight entered slightly resting in her face.

She found herself running in the rain with no clear idea where she was going, suddenly a thunder came to scared her, she shut her eyes has a reflect and when she opened them, she saw Kira beside her. He bent down to kiss her as she closed her eyes again.

Lacus opened her eyes once more just to see that she was in her bedroom, bushing in the memory of her dream, glanced at her clock and went back to sleep since it was to early.

Later at school, Lacus told her best friend about her dream, blushing like a tomato.

"So, you dreamed that last night? Interesting" said the blonde haired girl before starting to giggle.

"Hey! Don't start!" warned the pink haired princess.

"Start what?" Cagalli asked innocently.

"You know what ¬¬"

"K Ok"

"Tell me Cagalli, what about you and Athrun?"

"Eh," blushing a little, "what do you mean?" looking kind of nervous.

"C'mon tell me"

"Thereisnothingbetweenus, I don't know what are you talking about" said Cagalli very fast.

"Are you sure?" asked Lacus grinning.

"Did you do the homework that Miss Murrue gave us?" Cagalli changed the subject quickly.

..:oOo:..

The rest of the day was quite normal, the classes, the hall chatting between friends and all, except for one thing, Lacus was clearly avoiding Kira, whenever the four friends would gather together suddenly Lacus had something to do or she just grab Cagalli and take her away with her for no reason, this was getting suspicious for the boys specially for Kira.

They usually had lunch on the roof but this time neither of the girls appeared just Milly, in the classroom they usually exchange glances particularly Kira and Lacus excluding this day of course, when Kira tried to talk to her she fake her "Oh, sorry someone is calling me, see ya". When Miss Thalia called him and Lacus to work together she kind of started to shake and just about him going to see her, Cagalli claim to be his partner for the task.

"There must be something going on", he told himself, "why would she avoid him?"

"Hey Athrun don't you think Lacus is kinda strange today?" Kira asked his best friend.

"Lacus? No, well at least not with me" answered Athrun.

"So you do have noticed it?"

"Guess so"

"Do you know why?"

"Why do you think I would know that? Maybe Cagalli knows"

"Yeah Cagalli, she knows that's why she won't tell me"

"How do you know that she won't, you are her fav brother, aren't ya?"

"I'm her only brother! And I know it, didn't you see that she actually claim to be my partner in the science task!"

"Mm yeah" mumbled Athrun. "I though she didn't want to be my partner, I was starting to worry phew" though the blue-haired boy.

"Hey would you keep her busy for a while?" said the dark-haired boy, pulling out Athrun from his thoughts.

"Eh? Why? What are you gonna do?"

"I just want to talk to Lacus and ask her what's the matter" Kira said simply.

"And I suppose that you think that Cagalli would mess it up?"

"I believe that"

"I guess I can do that"

When the last hour finish, Lacus already was leading the rest of the students to the main door, the suddenly Cagalli called her.

"Hey Lacus! Wait!" yelled Cagalli trying to keep Lacus speed. But before her, she could see Kira abruptly pulling Lacus away.

"What the. HEY Kira! What the hell you think you're doing!" shouted the blonde-haired girl, she had decided to follow them when Athrun came up from somewhere blocking her way.

"Hi Cagalli" Athrun greeted her beaming.

"Oh, hi Athrun, sorry but I need to go . . ."

"Why didn't you wanted to be my partner!" asked her suddenly very loud, he needed to catch her attention.

"Eh-what!" questioned back, disbelieving what her hears were telling her.

"Why didn't you work with me at class?" asked again but more calm, "he wasn't suppose to scare her" he thought.

"Eh-eeh- I a…"

Athrun saw his opportunity to ask some little questions before Lacus came back.

"Do you hate me?" he said suddenly.

"Eh? What! No! Of course not! Where did you get that stupid idea, Athrun?" She was shocked from the question but she answer very quickly making Athrun almost jump of happiness seeing her fast reaction not mentioning her very fast answer.

"Well I guess from your reaction I'm very wrong, it's just, mm you kinda run away from me this day and when we were has the science task you immediately wanted to changed partners" told Athrun trying to sound hurt.

"Oh, no don't get the wrong idea, Athrun, is was because of a friend of mine" explained Cagalli smiling slightly.

"So there is nothing wrong between us?"

"You Athrun Zala, bad boy, bad boy, you are trying to ask her about it, but not really asking her" said a voice in Athrun's head. He needed to know, he couldn't stand the idea of her saying she already had someone, and he didn't know who he was.

"No of course not, silly, in fact I really like you" said Cagalli cheerily but unconsciously.

"You-you really like me!" he asked, he couldn't believe what he had heard.

"Eh-ee- I" Cagalli started to mutter.

"Like me like what?" he continued asking, this was the question that needed urgently to be answered.

"Well - - I – I . . ." she drawled. But for her luck Lacus appeared just in time, well not really appeared, she came out from the field were the boys play soccer. She was running very fast and Cagalli could barely see that her face was in a bright red colour.

Athrun saw her running too and judging her way of escaping as fast as she could from the school, Kira must had done something to her.

Cagalli forgot Athrun completely which was very fortunate considering the "conversation" she was about to face with Athrun. She yelled Lacus but she didn't stopped or answer her. Seeing her friend's reaction, she chased the pink princess letting Athrun alone, still without his answer.(Poor Athrun xD)

Analysing the situation, he decided that the best thing to do right now was search for Kira and ask him what had happened.

The blue-haired boy found his best friend sat on the floor, his face was blank, like he was lost in another universe, but in some way he had his face faintly red and shocked at the same time.

..:oOo:..

"Come on Lacus, tell me what happened?" asked Cagalli when she finally reached her.

". . ."

"OK, anyway I want to thank you" said Cagalli giggling a little.

"Why?" she questioned.

"Well, you running away the school help me to run away from the little talk that I had with Athrun" she answered blushing slightly.

"What was the talk about?" wondered the pink-haired girl, her face was clearly showing big interest.

"I said without thinking, that I really liked him" explained the girl who now was sitting in a bench of the park.

"You did what?" exclaimed Lacus, sitting right next to her.

"Yeah, yeah, that's why I thank you for running away from the school, although you still didn't tell me why" Cagalli accused, and when Lacus heard that it trigger the memory when she was with Kira and blushed again. Noticing Cagalli's face, she gave up and decided to tell her everything.

"Ok I'll tell you but don't do anything funny" warned the still blushing girl.

"Like what?" asked her friend.

"I don't know but knowing you, you may do something funny," admitted Lacus, "Well you remember Kira pulling me away don't you? After that . . ."

-Flashback-

Kira was running toward the soccer field holding Lacus's hand and making her follow him, then he stopped, Lacus bumped her face on his back, Kira turned to face her, his face looked very serious, Lacus remembered his looked and her dream came back making her blush.

The young coordinator still had his serious face when he asked her why she was avoiding him, Lacus couldn't answer, she just stare at the floor below them.

No having his respond, he took Lacus's chin making her to look at his face directly but she move her head to look at the wall.

"Don't you like me anymore?" he asked looking at her.(is this correct?)

She said a small no

"Are you mad at me because of the joke?" Kira tried to guess.

She gave him another negative answer.

"Is it because of Flay and/or Meer?" questioned again poor Kira.

"Not really" she replied, coming to the decision of not telling him, she didn't have to.

"The tell me!"

She couldn't say if the was getting angry or he was pleading, her mind was still rushing with so many thoughts.

"You know Kira, let's just forget this" she said starting to walk on the small stairs so she could finally leave. Kira grab her under her wrist pulling her to face him and ask her what was wrong but she tripped in the stair before he could ask anything and fell on him. Their lips met each other's and their eyes were wide open. Kira's hands were behind him supporting them both, Lacus went back with her hand son her face, hiding her lips. She got up quickly and dash blushing hard like a tomato. She left Kira there, sitting on the ground, blushing.

-End of Flashback-

"OMG! Your first kiss, with Kira," Cagalli called out, "was accidental! Oh C'MON!"

"SHhh Cagalli! shshshhh" Lacus tried to silence her friend, looking right and left, checking is someone was near them.

"Oh sorry," she apologized, "but this is, this is, oh I can't find the word!"

..:oOo:..

"So, you didn't find out what was wrong but instead you kiss her" Athrun said with slight mischief on his face.

"Is not like I planned that!" argued Kira.

"So you didn't want to kiss Lacus?"

"I didn't said that!"

"You are making it sound like that" said Athrun calmly.

"Well, I don't know I didn't though that would be like that, at least not an accidental one" admitted Kira.

..:oOo:..

On the excursion to the mountains day

"Waa! This is so beautiful!" expressed the blonde princess.

"Waa! It's so cold! I'm freezing ;;" complained Lacus shivering next to Cagalli.

"This is amazing! Imagine the photos that I can take," said Milliaria, "Girls I see you later, I'm gonna take some pictures for the paper"

"Ok, see ya" said Lacus and Cagalli at the same time, watching her leave.

"Hey Milly wait for me!" yelled Dearka, running behind her.

"Oh hurry up!" she yelled back not stopping to wait for him.

"Haha they make a lovely couple" observed Lacus.

"But they aren't together," correct Cagalli, " are they?"

"Well not officially" affirmed Lacus, "Hope Dearka get the guts to tell her"

"Or Milly could tell him first" Cagalli spoke.

"That could work too, haha"

Both friends stare each other, meditating what Cagalli had said a moment ago.

"Guess we should go to the skiing lessons" added Lacus trying to brake the weird silence between them.

"Yeah let's go" agreed Cagalli.

..:oOo:..

Everybody was practicing in the snow, well no everyone Milliaria and Dearka haven't return yet; there were some that did it very well and some other did not so well, the skiing thing.

"This is so annoying," complained certain blond girl getting herself up from her fall, "I can't do it right!"

"Cagalli calm down," begged Lacus, " you should try to relax your body"

"Specially your knees" said a orange-haired boy. (guess who is this! o)

"Hi Haine-san" salute Lacus.

"Hello Lacus-sama" greet back Haine.

"E-eh hi Haine-san" said Cagalli a little embarrassed with her cheeks faintly red.

"Come on, let me help you" offered Haine showing her how she should be standing. Lacus wasn't the only one that was watching them, some meters away the blue-haired boy was watching them too, frowning even more when Haine told Cagalli to go behind him so they could ski together. And so they did, while another certain coordinator was watching them very carefully.

They ski next to Lacus and asked her what was he doing with Kira's little sister, according to him. Lacus giggle before answering them that he was just helping her with her skiing.

..:oOo:..

Meanwhile in the forest near the mountain Milly and Dearka were still walking, Milly was taking pictures and Dearka was writing on his notebook.

"Dearka look at this," said Milly pointing the beautiful view they could appreciate, "hey Dearka don't get too close to the edge, it's dangerous"

"Nah, it's Ok"

Finishing his phrased the portion of land under Dearka broke(?) making him fall of the risk. Fortunately Milly quickly throw her camera and grabbed his hand and pulled back, but in the act she used her weight to changed position with him.

"MILLY!" yelled Dearka watching her fall.

He throw himself to catch Milliaria, they were now both falling down, however Dearka could hold himself in a branch.

"De-Dearka" said Milly slowly watching the blonde boy, holding hardly to the small branch.

"Are you ok?" asked the boy.

"Let me go!" Milly told him.

"What! Are you crazy or just suicidal?"

"Let me go or we both gonna fall!" yelled again the girl trying to free herself from his grasp.

"Never! Even if we fall I won't let you go!"
