Summary: Yzak complaining of his luck¡­

Kira Yamato arched his eyebrow in question, when his lover for the past few months, Yzak Jule, let loose a string of beautiful curses. Taking in the look of annoyance on Yzak's face, he commented.

"Did you have a tough day?"

Yzak snorted as he flopped himself on the couch unceremoniously. "It's not tough, it's horrible"

"Horrible?" Kira echoed,"Why is that so?" he couldn't help but ask.

For a while, silence reigned. There was no reply from Yzak as the latter glared at the wall angrily. Realizing that his boyfriend probably needed time to calm down; Kira merely waited patiently, for Yzak to speak up.

"You know, sometimes I wonder if fate was toying with us.." Yzak finally spoke, after his anger left him deflated.

Kira said nothing but beckoned for him to continue his speech. "Don't you think so?" Not bothering to wait for Kira's response, Yzak continue on.

"It took us two wars, a total of four years to finally make peace between both parties. Not to mention, the need for peace negotiation talk taking place annually at ORB, to keep both parties from being suspicious of one another.."

There was a pregnant pause, as Yzak took the time to organize his thoughts.

"Yet, it seems that the goddess of luck was deserting us again for the third time. There's a high possibility of a third war breaking out. The talk today hadn't gone well at all. The tension was high and suffocating, it took a lot of mental restrain from my part to prevent myself from snapping."

"Well..­I guess, it's not that easy to maintain the peace between PLANT and Earth after all." Kira said finally, after absorbing all the information which Yzak had revealed.

"So what do you have in mind?" Yzak asked.

"No idea, all I could do was to hope that Cagalli would not cave into either party this time around.." Kira admitted.

"There's no other way out of this?" Yzak asked.

Kira looked thoughtful for a moment, before stating seriously. "Judging from the current situation? No, I don't think there's another solution to it.­ Irregardless what decision Cagalli made, a war is inevitable. It's not like PLANT and Earth Alliance could trust one another and lived in peace, right from the start..."

"Well... that's kind of true..." Yzak sighed.

"Will the war between them ever end?" Yzak asked, not really expecting an answer.

"No idea, all we could do now was to hope.." Kira responded, even if he knew all that hope could have been futile effort on their part.

"You're sure being optimistic; even after all the things you'd seen in the last two wars...­ you're still able to hope..." Yzak eyed Kira with an incredulous look on his face.

Kira smiled ironically."Well,­ the influence of being with Lacus, I guess..."

Yzak snorted and muttered something incoherently under his breath. Kira smiled and said. "Well, at least we get to fight together this time around, rather than fighting against one another like in the past."

"Hm.m..­ True, I'll get to pilot 'Duel' again. I missed piloting 'Duel', I still think 'Duel' is better than the ZAKU I've been piloting a while ago." Yzak mused.

"Well... now, can we do something else other than talking about the possibility of the upcoming war?" Kira interrupted.

Yzak arched one eyebrow gracefully."What do you have in mind?"

Kira said nothing but smile secretively. He then pulled the latter towards the direction of their backyard, ignoring Yzak's relentless protests. "That, you'll know later." was all Kira revealed as he continue to pull the reluctant Yzak outside.
