When all Seems Lost

Miriallia rested her face in her hands. Her elbows were knelt up on the balcony fence. I was to afraid to talk to anyone. I'd just end up crying. She thought, thinking back to her previous silent attitude in the bathroom.She sighed in discontent.

She looked up and saw nothing but a stary sky. Why does Dearka have this hold on me? Why do i feel like crying every time I see him... She shook her head and held back the tears as she bowed her head. Even though no one was around her, she was use to hiding her face when she cried...she didn't want anyone to think she was week.

"I'm a natural, what else are they gonna think?" She sighed again and sat on the pavement while pushing her back up against the fence behind her. She hugged her knees to her chest and rested her head in crossed arms.

"Hey crybaby. I think your boyfriend's lookin' for you..." Yzak leaned against the doorway and crossed his arms.

She looked up at him and narrowed her eyes before looking back down. "He's not my boyfriend."

"Ha. After that little show you two put on this morning, I'd have to disagree with you." He smirked.

She sighed again and kept her head down. "What do you want Yzak..."

He frowned. "Oh it's not what I want...It's what Dearka wants."

She brought her head up. "Don't you have someone to be with? Like that girl or something?"

"Yeah, I do...But do you?"

"Oh shut up! You're being a jackass."

"Yes...yes I am. And do you know why?"

She rolled her eyes. "Why, Yzak..."

"Because you treat Dearka like dirt."

She narrowed her eyes. "Yeah well so do you!"

"That's completely different!"

"How?"

"Oh I don't know...maybe it's possibly becausehe doesn't want to uum...MAKE OUT WITH ME!" He shouted as he flailed his arms.

She narrowed her eyes and turned the other way.

"I'm not doing this for your sake, I'm doing itfor Dearka's. And for some hell of a reason, he likes you...I don't see what's to like but this is Dearka...and he happens to be utterly insane."

She clenched her teeth.

"Anyway, Dearka just came back to our table and he looks like someone just threw a brick at his head...maybe you should do something about it." He stated nonchalantly as he turned his back and shut the door behind him.

Her jaw was dropped slightly and she slowly brought her hands up to her face and over her eyes. What am I supposed to do, it seems like everyone's against me now. Does this mean that he really does like me? This can't be true.

Her eyes began to shine red. "Dearka..."

"Hey! No need to be upset anymore guys! I'm back!"

"Oh yeah...we missed you..." Dearka rested his head with one hand. "Where were you?"

"What, were you worried about me?"

"Only a ton." He smirked.

Shiho laughed. "No really Yzak, where were you?"

"Just out for some air, that's all." He sat down beside Dearka and Shiho and his eyes wandered throughout the room. Being slightly bored, his eyes rested ona certain table. "Ugh..." He mumbled tiredly. "Fags making out."

Dearka smiled and turned around to find the scene Yzak had been groaning about. His smile instantly turned to a frown. "It's Kira and that...thing in pink."

Yzak laughed. "I know...honestly...how do you get your hair pink...I so want that."

Dearka smirked and shook his head. "You do, don't you..."

"Yes."

Dearka laughed. "You're such a fag.

"Oh I know." He nodded his head quickly in agreement. The boys smirked at eachother. Shiho looked at both of them, eyes wide.

"Do you two have any idea how wierd you are?"

Dearka pointed at Shiho. "Yes...Well I am...Yzak's just probably drunk."

Yzak nodded his head again seriously. Shiho smiled at Yzak. He looked over at her andpaused. The way she smiled at him made Yzak blush instantly and he turned his head away quickly.

Dearka grinned at this and shook his head. He put his hands up in the air. "God Yzak! Do her already! Ya know ya want to!"

The two just stared at him until Shiho spoke. "Yeah...I'm kicking you out of the table. Go find some new friends...like Kira and Lacus..." She smirked.

He looked back at the other table and shivered. "Yeah, okay, I'll shut up..."

"And?" Shiho motioned with her hands for him to say something more.

"Hhh, and I guess...I'll stop acting like an idiot..." He sighed again.

The way he sounded so serious and sad made Yzak laugh, Dearka still keeping his acting up. "You're so screwed in the head."

"Do you not think I'm aware of this? I've tried getting counciling, god! Stop rubbing it in!" Dearka left the table quickly and left the two laughing.

After the two let their guard down, Dearka quickly hid behind a group of people just standing around and talking. "Operation Yzak Shiho, comence...Wow, I am so gay..." he laughed at himself.

Their laughter died down slightly. "He's such an idiot." Yzak said.

She smirked. "Yeah well you are too."

"What?"

"You egg him on. You go along with his stupidity." She laughed again.

Yzak blushed as he looked at her. "So what do you want to do now?"

"Uum-"

"You look...really nice." He swallowed hard and braced himself for her next words.

"Wow, where did that come from...thank you Yzak." She smiled.

He blushed and turned away. She saw this and began to giggle.

"What?"

"Let's dance."

"What?"

"Dance...Now." She smirked and grabbed his wrist.

"But Shiho, I-Whoa!" She yanked him up from his seat and practically dragged him into the middle of the floor. It wa getting pretty late and most people had started tro leave. There wasn't even five couples on the dance floor for the slow songs anymore.

When they got there, he started to sweat.

"Shiho, wait, I just...How do I-"

Shiho immediately covered her mouth and tried not to burst out laughing. "You...don't know how to dance!" She exclaimed between laughs.

Dearka was watching from afar. People were starting to look at him strangely, seeing as he was laughing to himself, all alone.

"No! It's not that I...Well I never-"

"You've never danced with a girl before..." She giggled.

His eyes turned to slits. "You can stop laughing now if you want to..."

Her laughter died little by little. "I'm sorry Yzak, it's just that...I should've known..."

He quirked a brow. "Why?

"Nothing. Okay, do you want me to show you or not?" Her face turned serious and Yzak gulped.

"Well...Do you have to show me infront of all these people?"

"Yzak, there aren't even many people here anymore. Besides, it's now or never..."

He sighed. "Alright, alright, tell me what to do."

"Okay..." She took his hands. She quirked a brow. "Yzak why are you shaking so much?"

"Ha, no reason, automatic reaction..." He laughed nervously. AUTOMATIC REACTION MY ASS! C'mon Yzak! You can do better than that! He mentally kicked himself a thousand times.

She shrugged and continued."Alright then." She held his hands tighter than before. "Here, I'll show you."

His eyes widened.

"Put your hands..."

"Oh god,"

"Riiiiiiiight..."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

"Here." She smiled lightly. She took one look at his face and narrowed her eyes. "What's the matter?" And then it hit her and her eyes went wide. "No way! Don't you dare throw up on me Yzak!"

"I-I'm not!"

She sighed tiredly. "Okay...'cause you know we can stop.."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, just relax..."

"ME RELAX? YOU RELAX! You're the one who's shaking so hard you're gonna have a friggin' stroke!"

"Okay! I'm sorry! J-just show me. What do I do next...?"

She sighed again. "You're done. Now all I have to do is put MY hands, riiight...here." She smiled. "See, we're not dead."

He didn't say anything back, being nervous as hell. They just stood there with her hands around his neck and his around her waiste for a good moment. It was getting pretty awkward.

"Uuh, Yzak?"

"Yeah?"

"Is there any chance we...might be able to move now?"

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"Feet...glued to floor...can't move."

She sighed again. "Just move around, relax..." She guided him. "You okay?"

"Yeah...now I won't be able to stop..."

She laughed. "That's okay I guess." She brought her arms around his neck slightly more and held him tighter, as did he.

He smiled.

She reached up and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "Thank you Yzak."

For a moment, he couldn't talk. Though, after a second, for some wierd reason...he didn't feel nervous anymore."For what?"

She hugged him even tighter. "For not throwing up on me."

Dearka smirked from behind a dead plant. "Aaw, Kodac moment..." His smirk immediately turned to a frown as thoughts of a certain distraught, strawberry blond haired girl filled his head.

He made his way around a few people and found himself staring out the balcony door window, coming face to face with his thoughts. Her back was pushed up against the balcony fence and she appeared to be...crying?"

Dearka had no second thoughts as he made his way out onto the balcony, quietly shutting the doors behind him. He sat down right beside her and sat the same way she had, with his back up against the fence.

"Hey."

It took her a while to respond, and when she did, she didn't even look at him."Hi."

"So why aren't you with your friends?"

She sighed. "I'm tired."

He nodded his head slowly. "I see. Then why don't you go home?"

"I came with my friends...they're having such a good time that they probably won't want to leave. I'll just be a berdon to them."

He quirked a brow. "It's pretty cold out here...why don't you just come inside for a bit?"

"I told you, I'm tired. It's too loud and crouded in there. I hate dances...they're so...what's the word...?"

"Gay?"

She smiled to herself. "Yeah, gay."

Dearka looked up at the sky above them. The starlight shone down on the white lights that lit the balcony and it reflected on Miriallia's pale face. She kept her head down, too afraid to look at his face, too afraid that she'd cry again.

After the moments past, out of nowhere, she began to speak quietly. "Why are you out here?"

His eyes were taken away from the beautiful sight above and were now focused on the beauty before him. He didn't say anything.

"I don't understand why you'd want to spend your time out here with me, when you could be in there with your friends."

He smiled. "Yzak's my only friend in there...and he's dancin' with that..." He pointed at the two inside.

She looked inside the glass to find the other coordinator dancing with a tall woman in a long, beige dress. Her brown hair was down and over her shoulders. They looked like...a couple. Everyone seemed to be so happy. Everyone but her...

He sighed. "Look, are you okay?"

"Hmm?" Being snapped out of her daze, she looked up at him for the first time since he'd come out. Her eyes immediately turned to glass.

"You seem...depressed. Is it about this morning? ...Or something else?"

"Why are you-"

"I don't care what you think of me now. I just want to know if you're okay. I'm not trying to but into your life or anything like that. It's just...you make me feel really wierd and I hate it. I can't be around you without feeling likeI should...ah forget it."

"Wait! Feeling likeyou should what?"

"I dunno, just...nevermind..."

She grunted. "See Dearka, this is why youmake me mad, you act so stupid and you think you're so great that no one's worthy enough to listen to. I think no one listens to you because they don't want to.You're selfish and you think everything's about you!"

He brushed her off and began to stand when he was roughly pulled back down. "Hey! I-!"

"Stop acting like you're the one who's hurting! You're not! You don't even care! The guy never cares! What the hell were you thinking when you kissed me this morning? Why the hell would you do something like that? I don't even know why I'm yelling at you right now, I don't even know what I'm feeling about you! You say you're the one that feels wierd around me, but I can't even talk to you without crying! And I don't know why! It's so damn confusing!" She cried between tears that were continuously falling.

He grasped her shoulders and pulled her toward him, touching his lips to hers. She was shocked at first, but then she began to kiss him back, tears still falling from her eyes. She brought her hands to his arms and grasped them tightly. It was a lot more..."experienced" than their previous kiss.

After a moment, it was sadly broken and both were slightly distraught to let it go. She tiredly fell onto him, no longer being held by his support. He caught her in his lap and she never looked up at him.

"Was that just...to shut me up again..." She asked in a quiet and shocked voice.

His eyes were still wide. "I think you shut me up more than I did you." He wrapped his arms around her and was pleasantly surprised to find that he wasn't being slapped for it. I am...I can't believe it happened, but I actually am. I'm in love with Miriallia. He sighed as the wieght was lifted off his chest...literally, Miriallia got up off of his chest. (A/N: Haha, I was thinking of an episode of spongebob when I said that...lmfao)

"Dearka?"

"Mmm, Hmm?"

"Is the wierd feeling gone?"

He paused for a moment. "You know what, surprisingly it is."

She smiled. "Same." She lifted herself back up to sit in her previous spot. She started to feel slightly uncomfortable again...but she had to pop the question."Dearka?"

"Yeah?"

"Is this...where it ends?"

"What do you mean?"

She sighed at the fact she had to explain more. "Us?"

He shrugged. "Not my dicision..."

"What do you mean?"

"It's up to you, I love you Miriallia...no matter what you think of me."

It hit Miriallia like a speeding bullet. The words came out so casually from his mouth it hardly seemed real."Dearka, I-" She was interruspted by the swaying of the last song. "Let it Be". (A/N: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! BEATLES! WHO HATES THE BEATLES, HONESTLY!)

"Please don't reply to anything I say." He smirked. "Miriallia Haww, would you like to dance with me?"

Her jaw dropped. It was by far the last thing she'd expected. She was about to reply when he shook his head, telling her not to say a word. She smiled at him and held out her hand. He smiled, took it and pulled her up slowly. They walked back into the building, red cheeks and all.

As the two quietly made their way to the middle of the floor, they were pleasantly surprised to find that no one had seen them yet...no one that knew them at least. They held eachothers hands, then hesitantly, she put her arms around him, as did he.

She smiled. "You're really wierd."

"I know..." He smirked and pulled her in tighter.

She was nervous at first, but then became more comfortable with time and brought him into a warm hug as they danced.

Meanwhile...Back at the table...

Shiho stopped Yzak instantly...(A/N: From what... :S LMFAO!)"Yzak..." She seemed cautious.

He tore away from her and stared into her eyes. He quirked a brow. "What?"

After a moment, he looked in the direction she'd been staring at and chuckled.

"Wow, would ya look at that. Dearka's actually dancin' with someone who's not gonna do him for twenty bucks. Ya don't see that everyday."

Shiho grinned. "How do ya know he's not gonna dump her after a night?"

He shrugged. "Honestly...I don't know. I just know he likes her."

"She looks like a sweet heart. Too sweet for him..."

"She is. I have no idea why Dearka likes her...or why the hell she likes him. She's a natural."

"Are you serious?" She looked at him with a shocked expression, then back at the girl. "Dearka's walking on thin ice here. What if her parents found out..." She thought for a moment then gasped. "Or worse...What if Dearka's parent's find out..."

Yzak just laughed. "I know, isn't it great!"

His grin immediately disipated when he saw Shiho's glare. "No! It isn't! Come on..." She grabbed his wrist and dragged him across the room to the other table.

Shiho let Yzak's hand go and he sighed, knowing all too well of Shiho's reputation of being known for "butting in". He turned his head away from Athrun, Lacus, Kira, and Cagalli.

Athrun smiled. "That's right...I knew I recognized you from somewhere. You're that girl that was put in as a replacement for Dearka on the le Creuset team after he deflected."

"Yeah, whatever...just, look!"

The four of them turned to find a blissful Miriallia in the arms of the arrogant ZAFT pilot. Kira clenched his fists slightly and then, just let it go. Cagalli and Lacus' jws dropped so far you could hear them clunk on the ground. They squeeled in delight. Athrun was shocked as well, but was more amused than anything.

"I can't...believe it..." Everyone turned toward Dearka. "This was the last thing I'd expect to happen...and it just did. Dearka is...he's the biggest dick...next to you of course," Athrun smirked toward Yzak and he just huffed and looked away. "You two were always the ones who'd crack natural jokes and you'd actually be excited to go out to battle. Falling in love with a natural would have been the last thing on his mind back then...but now...I'm not so sure."

"Uuh, Athrun..."

"Yeah?"

"I'd hate to interrupt, but..." Everyone looked to where Lacus was staring and found the two had stopped in the middle of the floor and were holding eachother tightly and closely.

"They're totally making out!" Cagalli laughed.

Kira shut his eyes tight, kept his face down and shook his head.

"What's that for?"

He popped his head back up. "What?"

"The look..."

"Nothing..."

Athrun crossed his arms. "See, I don't get it. You're getting so worked up over Miriallia falling in love with him, but you're a coordinator too."

"No, it's not that. It's just that he...well..."

"He's an idiot and he'll hurt her..."

"Well...yeah!"

Athrun quirked a brow. "Does it look like he's hurting her now..."

Kira looked over Athrun's shoulder. The two were still in a tight embrace, Cagalli and Lacus still jumping in their seats. Kira immediately felt guilty again.

"What do you think Yzak?" Athrun grinned.

Yzak shrugged. "Meh..."

Cagalli turned swiftly. "If I don't recall, I remember a certain someone going out to talk with Milly when she was outside..."

Yzak stumbled back. "N-no, it's not what you-"

"What'd you say to her?" Cagalli questioned suspiciously. The rest of the group were also giving him a sly smirk now.

"I-well, I just...man, you should've seen him! He was moping around and he was all sad and crap! I had to do something!"

Lacus smiled widely. "So what did you say to her?"

"Nothing! Drop it!" Yzak crossed his arms and they began to laugh.

Before they knew it, the song had ended and it immediately brought their attention to the couple. They all looked their way as their embrace parted and they stared back at them. As Dearka and Miriallia made their way back to the table, the group started to act like they hadn't seen a thing.

Dearka and Miriallia smirked, knowing full well that they had.

Dearka grabbed his keys. "That enough of that, let's go...I hate dances..."

This was one of my smaller chapters but I thought it made up for my previous one, and I also tried to update it quicker. Sorry guys.
