Hiya! Thanks to all the reviewers! Your support has been great! Here's chapter three!
Lacus stared at Athrun. The way he opened his arms so readily to hug Meyrin. And the way they clung to eachother. Part of her instantly flared with anger, but part of her felt hypocritcal to do so. Hadn't she left him for Kira? And hadn't Kira left Flay for her? But still...it wasn't fair on Cagalli.
She watched as Athrun crumpled, tears begining to flow steadily down his face. His arms tightened round Meyrin, silent sobs racking his frame. Her anger faded. They both looked so small, vunerable, like two children, forced into an adult world and broken because of it.
Kira still glared at them, and it was obvious they'd noticed. Yet they ignored him, content in each others arms. She knew Kira had a right to be angry, Athrun had clearly broken up with his sister. But, it wasn't Kira's choice. And, as much as she loved Kira, she hated it when he got so overprotective.
Absently, she adjusted the gold clip in her hair. She'd talked to Meyrin and, though the girl had never said anything, it was clear how much Athrun meant to her. And it was clear how much Meyrin meant to Athrun. He'd taken the brunt of the explosion when they'd been on the run from ZAFT. He'd nearly gotten himself killed for her. And she'd thrown everything away for him.
She knew Athrun would never hurt Cagalli deliberatly. You just couldn't help who you fell in love with. It had been that way with her and Kira. And, though Cagalli was a good friend, Meyrin did seem right for Athrun. Meyrin could be there for him. And she would be there for him. Of that, Lacus was sure. She hoped they could be happy together. And she hoped Cagalli could find someone to be happy with. Or love her people and have their happiness lead to hers.
Athrun and Meyrin continued to cry in each others arms and Cagalli continued to cry with her country. She turned to Kira and placed a soft hand on his shoulder. He glanced at her, anger still evidant in his violet orbs. She smiled at him. A smile which clearly said, "Let it be."
I don't know, was Lacus a bit OOC? Anyway, what do ya think? I really enjoyed writing this chapter (It was written at four in the morning. I always feel peaceful this early). Anyway, hope ya enjoyed it and please drop a review.
