Tick-Tick-Tick

It seems like an endless vortex that Athrun found it eerie with nothing but darkness surrounding him and without a sound could be heard. As he find his way nearer and nearer towards the glistering light, he heard someone calling for him. It seems like a wonderful dream that he never wanted to awake but at the same time, he felt depression of being alone.

He heard that voice again.

That voice was calling me Mr. Zala...how peculiar?

He was positive that he was dreaming but his other part of his mind was conscious that it seems impossible that he was dreaming. If he was not mistaken, he was suppose to be in class at this moment and trying to get himself rid of Mia sitting beside him or trying to figure out what had happened to both Kira and Lacus or even why Kira is holding hand with the smirking Fllay for no apparent reason. There is something he doesn't understand. So why is he dreaming?

"He have got the guts to be sleeping in my class." the woman voice rang clearly and Athrun had to chuckled at how his dreams became so vivid.

I'm sleeping in the c-CLASS!

He snapped out of it and he could see himself staring with a amused teacher in front of him, and the other students snickering and Mia was drooling at the sight of him. He found himself shrinking away from those glances and he mentally scolded himself for falling asleep in class.

"Not enough sleep Mr. Zala?" she was smiling and Athrun could only nod as he the flashback of last night event are playing back.

He shook his head in denial but then nodded again since it's the truth. In fact he was getting a little confuse of the fact that why has he fallen asleep. He stared at the teacher and she stare back and with a sigh, Athrun nodded in defeat.

"May I know why?" that smile again Athrun thought is really very creepy especially when he did something wrong.

"You sure you want to know?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Why do you think I asked?" she raised her eyebrow as well.

"Aren't you the one who suppose to know the answer? Why ask me?" he was confused that's for sure and his mind haven't really clear yet. He wishes he was back in the vortex for he swore he could see the teacher's eyebrow twitch a little. He regretted alright.

"And may I ask who's the teacher here?" her hands on her hips signaling that she is not please and Athrun is going to mend it fast.

"You are and if you really want to know, I would make that a private conversation." he gave her those cool smile that gave him much fan girls troubles and it didn't fail him.

For once...it came in handy

RING!

End of school and the starting of holiday week unfortunately for Athrun, he had to get back home for the holiday. He lost his mother when he was small and from that day onward, his father was never the same again. He was cold and rarely even talk nor smile to him.

The house that usually filled with lights are dark now. The only place he can call home is this very school itself. The place he can be happy and found love is from his friends. It was always gloomy and he hated it more than anything else. He looked around and saw that Kira and Lacus was sad and not even talking to each other and the rest of them was too happy to get away.

He only realize he was alone again.

Cagalli must be having a lot of fun now I guess...I just wish she's here. I missed her very much

"A-Ah Kira." Lacus for the first time in the morning voice up and speak to the solemnly quiet brunette. He looked up with a surprise face and Lacus saw there is a emotion of relief showing which Lacus wasn't quite sure why. Lacus looked away, the pain her chest returned again. She couldn't bear to see him not after what she had heard.

"What is it Lacus?" his voice was soft not as energetic as usual.

Before Lacus can even reply his question, Fllay who already glaring at her took Kira's hand in hers and walk off away with him. Kira looked back at her hurt face, feeling heart broken wanted so badly to release himself from Fllay and went back there to the pink-haired girl he cared so much for, hug, whisper to her ears that everything will be alright, telling her that he loves her and always by her side but he couldn't.

He lost her...

"WE have got to do something." Athurn voiced up for the first time in their conversation. The rest of them stopped from what they are currently doing and stared at him, blinking. Athrun stood up from his seat and then sat back down again, giving out a big sigh as soon he saw Mia coming towards him.

"Listen. Something happened between the both of them and we need to solve it fast." he grabbed his bag pack as he remember his little detention with the teacher for falling asleep inside the class.

"We know that Athrun but how?" Yzak was about to burst, wanting nothing more to smack everyone who make him agitated on the wall.

"We'll talk about it later and now privacy is the most important thing." as he walked off towards the other direction, the gang gave him a nod clearly understand what meant by privacy. If somebody is up to no good, they were going to stop whatever it is to make sure their plan works even if it means getting their friends out of they way and Yzak have the perfect solution to get things in their favor.

III

"What should we do now?We screwed up!" he was whispering to Yzak through his hand phone and after a tearing away his ears away from the loud curses of Yzak, he finally got an answer.

"Get them out of there. We need a back up plan and this time we will have to sacrifice Athrun!" and the connection went off. Seeing his girlfriend and co was in trouble, he took the fire extinguisher and head up to them preventing them from the ugly claws of Fllay and Mia.

"You stayed away from them! I'm warning you...don't let me sprayed this thing on you." he was glaring at them, Mia reluctantly stayed back but Fllay knew that she had fulls support from Kira, she moved forward with a smirk on her face and he retreated slightly.

"Do it if you dare. Wait till I tell Kira about it." Shiho who couldn't stand her damn attitude any longer snatched the fire extinguisher from Dearka and begin spraying it at her and Mia earning loud yells from them. They ran off to the other side but that was before giving warnings to them. Miriallia was breathing in relief and Dearka was staring wide eyed at the fuming Shiho.

"You have no guts Dearka." Miriallia swat him hard on his arm and he rubbed it to ease its pain, pouting.

"She's a girl Milly. I might be sue for sexual harassment. You know who her father is besides Kira..." he stopped talking.

"Who cares about Kira? If he even dare to say a word of disagreement on this, I'll make sure he will never be able to have children for the rest of his life!" and she stormed away and Dearka actually knew the reason behind her anger. Her leg was bleeding bad but before Dearka can confront her, she already left.He shrugged

"That's one of the reason that is why Yzak like her so much. If he found her in this state, Fllay will be bald by then."

"I'll be hoping to see that?" Milly laughed at his little joke as they walked off while bickering the needs of her to check out the doctor which Dearka insisted that Fllay might have put poisons in her claws.

III

"FLLAY! I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU BALD!" the students were staying away from Yzak's dorm as he shouted so loudly that even the headmaster who was having his sweet time with his lover dropped to the floor as the sound vibrated into his office.

III

"KIRA!" as Fllay fled into his arm and sob continuously and Kira awkwardly patted her in the back while in side his heart hoping that he can get away from her considering his shirt is getting wet and he is annoyed with her pretend in crying.

"What is it Fllay?" he continues to pat her and she cling on to him even more.

"T-That Hahnenfuss used a fire extinguisher on me!" she wailed loudly earning glances and Kira was fighting the urge to laugh out loud. He patted her even more.

Fire extinguisher...I wish to see that part though

"Will you stop patting me?" she looked up, annoyed.

"Err...sorry." his eyebrow twitch lightly and he was cursing her, not wanting to pat her himself and prefer kicking her down the drains.

"Are you not going to do something about it?" she glare at him swat him lightly on his arm.

"About what?"

Yes! He is acting stupid and he love doing that. Seeing her angry and glaring face was fun even though it was kind of scary. He wanted to much to laugh out, his heart his hurting him for keeping something so hilarious in there and unable to laugh it out. He need to laugh and he need to get out FAST!

He slipped away herself from the red head and giving her a excuse, squirmed off to the furthest hallway away from wherever Fllay is laugh out really really hard. He calm himself down moment later and then bursting out all of sudden.

III

Athrun swear he could hear Kira laughing somewhere around and it turns out he was right. His face is red due to all the laughing and Athrun sat down beside him on the floor. Kira looked up at the sudden stranger and to find the confuse look of Athrun and then it reminded him of Fllay and the extinguisher. He burst out laughing again and this time, he was actually hitting the poor Athrun while trying to surpass his laughter.

"What is the problem with you?" Athrun redrew himself away from Kira who is currently insane.

"L-Laughing!"

"About what?" raising his eyebrows at him.

"Fllay..extinguisher." the smile grew wider and wider and eventually going to erupt a laughter sooner or later.

"What about her?And extinguisher?"he swore Kira was out of his mind. The pressure is there, he saw it but he just couldn't believe that he just went insane in less than a day. He will have to call the people in charge of the asylum someday.

"Ask Shiho about it. I want to see that part though." and this time Athrun's eardrum almost burst.

Kira the other hand was smirking. He knew this blue-haired friend of his too well. He might ask once twice and he pretend he didn't want to know but Kira knew better. Athrun just couldn't stand not knowing things. He might go away when they are talking stuff but his hearts have that kinda itchy feeling to know and he is going to provoke him. Oh! Sometimes he just loves making fun of him.

"What part!"

"Ahahahaha?" and Kira walked away towards their dorm while sneering at Athrun and Athrun curiosity bar have reached the maximum and it soon to be explode and he desperately need to know. He doesn't want anyone to think that he is some kind of busy body guy.

"Come on Kira! Kira?" he hated himself for being like that but he couldn't stand being left out in everything.

III

Shiho harshly flunked her leg, her shoes flying and less than an inch Yzak might have being hit by that shoe. Sure she was pretty violent sometimes but Yzak was pretty freaked out when he made her angry earlier. Who wouldn't when she took a penknife which she intended to cut the bandages but in the end shoved it in front of his face when he accidentally touches her lightly on the shoulder threatening him about leaving a scar on his face for permanent.

"Can you please stop acting so violently. I couldn't bandage your leg." he was saying the words through his gritted teeth, losing his patience.

"Are you saying that I'm violent!" she was glaring at him that can burn a hole on Yzak but his reputation as King of Glaring are ain't nothing.

"Woman! Do you understand English?" he tenderly wrapped the bandage around her leg and she winced lightly. He pinned the bandage together and went he is done, Shiho is going to get it.

"Like you are very..." he cut her words off with no violence and with his lips on hers. Shiho was too shock even to blink...she just paralyze as the colour on her cheek risen rapidly . Yzak smirk in satisfaction as he saw the dazed look of hers. He tilted her chin up with his finger and gave her a malicious grin.

"Like it Hahnenfuss?"

She didn't reply for a spur moment and slowly her senses returned. The first thing she did is land a big slap on the silver haired boy in front of her. She hate being looked down at and she hate that grin of his.

"What is your problem?" she successfully ended his grin that's for sure.

"My problem is you!" as she kiss him forcefully on his lips and this time Yzak was fully surprised. She redrew and whispered dangerously in his ear.

"I like to be in charge!"

III

It's Athrun turn to do the laundry and he was hoping that Kira would stop changing his clothes for no apparent reason. He was out somewhere again and he still didn't get to know a thing about Fllay or the extinguisher. He took the jacket he wore yesterday, checking his pockets for anything and he found a piece of paper.

Maybe this have something to do with it

He read that piece of paper and finally understood something. He grinned and in order to have things just the way as before, he needed to brainstorm a little and bring back the happiness of his best friend and Lacus.

"Oh Fllay...you are so going down." he grinned and hide Kira's jacket somewhere safe and positive that Kira would never found out.
