A/n:

Thought I would ditch this fic? Well, guess again!

Alright, if you're asking for an explanation, here it is. This story has nine chapters already while my other stories have around five and less. I decided to concentrate on them more so they would catch up to the quantity of "Destined to Be".

I hope you will still enjoy this fic!

Chapter 10: Rendezvous

"Ah, it's good to be back where I ought to be -- the streets," Kira thought as he was driving his motorcycle down the city streets on one fine morning.

It had been a couple of days since the accident. Thanks to Lacus' visits and care, he recovered earlier than the doctor expected. "Another good thing is Lacus generously paid for all the hospital bills." He flashed a smile at the thought.

Flashback…

Knock knock

"Kira, are you awake? I brought some things for you," cried the sweet familiar voice of the girl that saved his life.

"Yeah, I'm awake. Come inside, the door isn't locked," answered the young man who was standing by the window answered.

When Lacus entered the room, she was surprised to see the patient not in bed anymore.

"Kira, the doctor said you should stay in bed! You might get yourself hurt again," she said. She ran to him and urged him to stay in bed.

He faced her and held her shoulders to steady her. "Lacus," he said in an assured tone, "I'm fine. Besides, I don't like lying in bed all day."

"But --,"

Kira placed his index finger to silence her. "No, but's. So, what do you have for me?"

Lacus' cheeks turned pink as her hair, feeling Kira's finger on her lips and the other hand on her shoulder. She gently pushed his hands away and walked towards the tray filled with delicious and healthy breakfast.

"Did you make this yourself?" Kira asked.

"No. I only bought them at the hospital's canteen. They have everything the doctor recommended for you to eat," she replied.

"Let me help you," Kira told her. When he began to walk near her, the wound on his side brought him to hell again.

"Ah, it really hurts!" He screamed. He fell to his knees and lay on the ground.

"Kira! Stay right there, I'll get a nurse quickly." Then, she ran off.

Minutes later…

"He's alright now," the nurse informed the worried, pink-haired girl. "As for you, young man, stay in bed and stop moving around. The wound will heal quickly if you would rest." Then, she left.

"I told you," she said with a glare.

"Alright, it's my fault," he said sounding quite angry. He then looked at her with those amethyst eyes. "I'm sorry to make you worry."

"Apology accepted, but next time, don't do that again OK?" Kira nodded like a small child who just been spanked by his mother.

"Good. Now, let me feed you." She then took a spoonful of oatmeal and raised it to Kira's mouth. "Here comes the train!" She said in a childish voice.

Kira chuckled from her actions, then carefully ate the oatmeal. "Being at the hospital isn't as bad as what everyone thinks," he thought mischievously.

End of Flashback…

Kira chuckled at the memory. "She was really something," he thought.

At last, he found the place he was looking for. He parked his motorcycle near the store, took off his helmet, and invited himself in.

"Good morning, sir. Welcome to 'The Flower Shoppe and Café'," greeted the shopkeeper.

"Good morning. I'm looking for a flower that suits for a kind and beautiful girl with pink hair and baby blue eyes," he told her as he pictured that girl in his head.

"Hmm… May I know what you like most about her?" the shopkeeper asked.

Kira thought for a moment. "Her eyes, beauty, and innocence."

The shopkeeper couldn't resist smiling. "We have the perfect flowers you could choose from. Please wait for a while. Anything else, sir?"

"Just a cup of coffee might do. Thank you." Then, she left. Kira decided to sit on one of the chairs to wait for his coffee. Minutes later, another girl arrived with Kira's coffee.

While waiting, Kira saw a lad with blue hair and green eyes glancing at the sign of the shop then back at the white paper he's holding.

"Strange, he looks familiar to me," Kira thought.

The lad smiled, knowing it was the right shop he was looking for, entered and asked one of the people in-charge if they can give him the most beautiful bouquet of roses in their shop. He was then asked to sit down to wait.

When he was right in front of Kira, the guy sipping his coffee can't help to notice his features. "Emerald eyes, blue hair," his eyes suddenly lit up, "Wait a minute! I know him!"

"Athrun!"

The said lad turned to his direction. "Spiky chocolate-colored hair, amethyst eyes," his eyes widened.

"Kira!"

"Athrun!"

"Kira!"

"What have you been doing here!" They asked each other in unison.

When they realized what happened, they laughed.

"You haven't changed a bit," Athrun first spoke after catching his breath from the laughter.

"You too." Kira took his seat as well as Athrun. "So, to whom are the flowers for?" He asked with a grin on his face.

"If you think that's for some girl, get that thought out of your crazy head. Dearka was the one who sent me here," he told him flatly.

"That guy, he never stops chasing girls," Kira told him with a slight chuckle.

"By the way, what have you been doing these days?" Athrun asked.

"I perform at the Archangel Restaurant to make a living. I play the guitar with a band. How about you?" He asked.

"Busy as usual. I'm having a tough time being president of the Student Council," Athrun replied.

"Aha! I knew you would one day become president of the Student Council!" Kira said with a smile. "How is grumpy old Yzak? Is he still your rival since this very day?"

Athrun shook his head. "No, he is now Vice President."

"I'm glad Yzak changed. Remember that time when he gave his Valentine present to one of our classmates?"

"Yeah, I sure do. I couldn't forget Yzak's face when the girl ran off."

They both laughed heartily.

When the laughter died down, Athrun asked what he always wanted to ask in the first place.

"Kira?"

"Yes?"

"Why did you leave us? Why didn't you come to school anymore?"

Kira's smile faded at the sound of his old friend's question. He stared outside the window and looked down. "My parents died in an accident."

"I'm sorry to hear that, Kira. How come you didn't tell me nor to the school?"

"Nothing will change if I told you or anyone or not. It wouldn't make any difference."

"You should have told me, Kira. If you only told me then, my parents would have adopted you."

"No, I'm fine Athrun. I already like the way my life is going through now."

"But, Kira, don't you miss going to school anymore?"

Kira faced his friend with tears in the corner of his eyes. "Of course I do especially you, the greatest pal I ever had. I miss grumpy Yzak, girl-chaser Dearka, talented Nicol, and the rest of the gang. I just want to live on my own right now and get back to school as soon as I earn enough money."

"I'll help you with the money."

"You don't need to, Athrun. Like I told you a while ago, I am already satisfied with my life."

"Excuse me, young men," the storekeeper called, "Sorry for the interruption, but your flowers are already ready."

Athrun stood up first and got the bouquet of roses. Kira followed and picked the beautiful Amaryllis flower from the rest.

Outside…

"Athrun?" Kira called out to his friend.

"What is it?"

"Don't tell anybody you have talked to me," he said in a low voice.

Athrun understood what he meant. "Yeah, sure. By the way, is it alright if I could watch you perform?"

A smile appeared on Kira's face. "Of course. I might be even surprised when I see you bring a girl along!"

"Dream on!" Athrun said with a smile as well. The two friends said their goodbyes went their separate ways.

It's good to see your best friend back again.
