Keep in Touch

"No way..."

"Yes way,"

"Not possible,"

"Very possible,"

"Who..."

"Me,"

"What?"

"School,"

"Where?"

"Earth,"

"When?"

"Two days,"

"How?"

"Well, it's a long story...-"

"Then don't," Yzak found himself in a tirsom slump. His body was hunched over in his seat and his hands were stressfuly tangling his bangs. His constant groans made Athrun realize that telling him all this information was annoying him.

"Why are you so pissed off?"

Yzak looked up with narrowed eyes. "Nothing! Did I say anything was wrong?" he questioned matter-of-factly.

"No, it's just that...you can sort of tell. I donno, maybe it's the cheery attitude and humongous smile that got me thinkin'..." Athrun smiled sarcastically.

Yzak turned his head to Dearka. "I want off! Anything he does, I'm not doin'!"

"Relax Yzak..." Dearka cocked his head to the side with his eyes closed.

"Dearka?" Athrun turned his body to have a clear view of the blonde that was patiently awaiting the end of the conversation. "I- Wow, you're so quiet...not like you at all...And don't you hate me too? You should have either been histarically laughing or made a rediculously sarcastic comment by now...toward me of course..."

Dearka smiled and was about to say something when Yzak cut in and turned toward Athrun.

"He's been like that this whole week! He won't talk, it's getting quite annoying. I have no one to back up my idiotic and arrogant comments about the littling most stupid things...It's pissing me off!"

"Everything pisses you off, Yzak..."

At that, Dearka let out a laugh and Athrun was finaly realizing something. "You guys have been with eachother? Like living close...keeping in touch?"

"No duh, stupid face!" Stupid face? IS THAT THE BEST I CAN COME UP WITH?

Dearka let out a strained laugh, trying to hold it back when he heard Athrun speak.

"I can't believe it. I knew that you two were friends but I...Yzak keeping in touch is pretty good. I meen, he doesn't like people..."

"Hey! I like people! Just certain KINDS of people!"

"Yeah...But you guys stay in touch, you laugh at eachother, back eachother up...I meen, 'Stupid head'? That isn't a very good put down for Yzak! You still laughed, Dearka...'cuz you were laughing at him. You have a very humerous friendship. I'm sorry but you two aren't very nice people...You were meant to be friends...Do you understand where I'm getting at, guys..."

Yzak was almost drooling and he looked over at Dearka with a blank look on his pale face. He turned back to Athrun and let out a high and short, "Huh?" his face was scrunched up in utter confusion.

Athrun let out a sigh. "It seems that the mean people who don't SEEM to have any friends out friended me," Athrun rolled his eyes at his own comment.

"What the hell are you talking about! I hate Dearka! He's the most annoying son of a bitch I have ever met in my entire life!"

"No...you don't hate him. You go everywhere together, you spend time with eachother, you're always following one another and backing eachother up..."

"Ha! Yeah, right. So what...we're friends," Dearka replied with a shrug. "It's not like we're gay, queer, homosexua-"

"I get it-"

"The point I'm getting at here..." he started to smile at his own words. "Is that...uum, we...no, uum. I donno...BUT! But...we just hang out with eachother 'cuz we balance..." Yeah...that's right! You know it!

"Balance?"

"Yup...Like, he says the put down to someone...and I make them feel even worse by just laughing at them...Sort of like," he pondered for a moment. "Sort of like how you've felt for the past five years..." he grinned wildly at the raven-haired boy as Yzak just started laughing and clutching his stomach. "Shut up Yzak..."

"Yes sir," he said almost immediately. He sarcastically saluted the Buster pilot and sat up straight. Even Athrun laughed quietly at their stupid reactions to eachother, then his face fell numb and slumpy.

"I wish I'd kept in touch more with Kira..."

Suprisingly to Athrun, Dearka and Yzak kind of jumped at the name and began to feel quite uneasy. "What's the matter...don't tell me-"

"Too bad Athrun! I know he's your friend, but he's still...I just don't like him," Yzak crossed his arms like a child.

"Chill Yzak," he turned to Athrun. "You know...I'm aware that we kinda got along for the last few hours of the war...but that was only to be on good terms, you know? You know? You know, you know, you know? ...You know?"

"Yes, yes, I know..."

"Well...good. Because we did meet him, and he was nothing we expected of him,"

Athrun perked his head up with narrowed eyes, confusion lacing them.

"He was a nice guy. Kind, young, passive, naive. He was your friend, and we clearly saw how he was in the first place. If we met him a long time ago, I'm sure he'd be our friend-"

"-Which he's not..."

"Thank you Yzak...And that we would have thought of him as a kind person. But too much of that time we knew him, he was behind the rough exterior of a Mobile Suit. The one that killed Miguel...and Nicol,"

Athrun stared at his feet. "I know. But if there never was a war...Kira...he was dragged into it. Once I met them all, I understood that he WAS just trying to protect his good friends," the boys noticed his eyes start to brighten and shine. They were sparkling so much you would almost think he was about to be laced with tears. "...Like Cagalli..."

Both the boys, even Yzak started to crack up.

Athrun looked up blankly. "What? Did I say something strange?"

"Oh Cagalli!" Dearka mimmicked.

Yzak made a kissy face and his eyelashes fluttered rapidly.

Athrun's eyes widened once he realized what they were implying. "HEY! I don't...b-!" the boys just kept laughing and Athrun sunk in his seat.

Their laughter died after a good five minutes and Yzak spoke. "Yeah..." he wiped a tear from his eye. "Wasn't she the one Dearka and I backed up in the last battle?"

"Yeah...that's her,"

"I could have been wrong but I thought she was a coordinator,"

"Yeah," Dearka replied. "She wasn't as good as us but, she was too good to be a natural,"

"You know what...I don't really know. Cagalli is the twin sister of Kira,"

Yzak almost choked. "WHAT! That girl is twins with that Yamato guy!"

Athrun scratched the back of his head nervously and smiled a fake smile. "Uuum, well yeah,"

"You meen your girlfriend is the twin sister of your best friend and our enemy, and you knew the whole time?"

"YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG!" It was then that Athrun noticed the glaring eyes of his fellow passengers. He then quiet down and spoke. "First of all...She's NOT my girlfriend. Second...he shouldn't be your enemy anymore. And last, I had no clue! Kira and Cagalli didn't even know!"

"What the hell are you babbling on about?" Dearka quirked an eyebrow.

"Well...Kira and Cagalli found out right after the ORB base was destroyed. And also, Mr. Atha, president of ORB and father of Cagalli Ulla Atha, died that day in the explotion. Cagalli found out because there was a picture of her and Kira when they were children...babies. I suppose her father gave her the picture. She told Kira the exact time she told me. Still...it makes me suspicious. If Kira and Cagalli were born at the exact same place and time, wouldn't they both be of same race, and we know for a fact that Kira's a coordinator..."

"Wow," was all Yzak could muster. "I get it...ha," he said non-enthusiastically. It made him nervous talking about his FORMER enemy and his sister's birth.

"So...what you're saying is that Cagalli is probably a coordinator,"

"Likely..."

"Oh I see," Dearka then smiled. "Why are you so curious about this, Miss Cagalli Ulla Atha, Princess of ORB, am I wrong?"

"N-no..."

"Din' think so. So are you going to earth for her?"

"Well...-"

"I knew it! You're just goin' down to meet your girlfriend...oh, and her stupid brother..."

"Dearka! She's not my girlfriend and Kira is not stupid! If I don't recall, Kira was kickin' both your asses for quite a long period of time!"

"So,"

Athrun was begining to get fed up with Dearka's normal attitude, and at the start of the conversation he was actually upset that Dearka wasn't acting like himself. Now he just wanted him to shut up again. He rested his face in his hands and just sat there hoping that his own silence would make Dearka realize he was being a pest. It didn't really work, though.

"So...You said you were going to school, where you goin'?"

Athrun sighed. "Well, there's a few Coordinator/Natural schools in Toronto, Ontario Canada. (A/N: I. AM. CANADIAN!) I'm just going to go down for a couple years with Kira and Cagalli. If I'm not mistaken that's also the school that Lacus and a couple of Kira's friends from Heliopolus attend as well. I'm looking forward to it. Why are you two going to earth?"

"Well, I'm also going to a Coordinator/Natural school and-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold the phone. You are going to a COORDINATOR/NATURAL school!"

"Yeah...In Canada somewhere. I don't know about Toront, uum, Toronta? Toronto...yeah, Toronto Ontario...right? Yeah, I donno exactly where it is, I'm just following the map brochure so...Yeah. Oh, and I'm takin' Yzak with me too..."

"WHAT?" Athrun eyes shot wide and his blood went cold. "Yzak? You're taking Yzak!"

"Yeah...He found out like, yesterday and he said he wanted to come,"

Dearka smiled as he looked behind him to find a 'Sleeping like a baby' Yzak slumped in the cushioned shuttle seat. Trying to control his laughter, he added, "He said this morning before we got on the shuttle that he would never go anywhere without me...probably 'cuz he doesn't have any other friends..." Dearka and Athrun just sat there and stared at eachother blankly in the eyes before histarically laughing at the unsuspecting platinum.

The boy's laughter died down when Yzak was awoken with a start as the shuttle roughly touched down and landed at the port. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. "What? We here, Dearka?"

"Yeah, we lived...how bout you?"

"Yeah, I guess this is where we part, huh?" Athrun stood.

"I suppose..."

The boys exited the shuttle without saying a word and found themselves face-to-face right outside the shuttle. They looked up and saw the shuttle take off for PLANT again. Without speaking, the boys gave eathother a fun salute and smiled. Then they went their seperate ways.

Athrun was frowning that he wasn't going to see them for a while and subconciously turned to see their backs toward him. "Hey!" he called to the now far away boys.

They turned to look at him with blank expressions. "Keep...keep in touch,"

Dearka and Yzak looked at eachother blankly, then turned back to the raven-haired boy and smiled. They both turned and as they did, Dearka let out an awsomne Dearka phrase, "You know it!"
