It was morning, and Kira was smiling at Lacus. His smile made her smile back at him. The sun's rays were shining through the window of his bedroom. He looked into her eyes and she looked into his.

"Good morning beautiful."

Lacus laughed a little. There was a brightened look in her eyes.

"It's time for breakfast, Kira."

"Okay. I'll meet you downstairs."

Lacus nodded. She went downstairs, leaving Kira behind. He watched her go downstairs. Then, he went to his dresser, but he could only find a black velvet tanktop, a pair of jeans, a pair of boxers, and two socks. As he got dressed, he kept on thinking about Lacus. For some strange reason, he couldn't get her off his mind.
After he got dressed, he went downstairs for breakfast.
As he went downstairs, he smelt something good coming from the kitchen. He walked into the kitchen, only to find bacon, eggs, sausages,
pancakes, waffles, ham, and corn beef hash on the table. Kira was surprised to see that Lacus has gone all out today.

"Wow Lacus! I see you've gone all out with breakfast today."

"Oh. Thanks. Well the children helped me."

Lacus blush a little. Kira got out the plates, forks, and knives. The children ran in and sat themselves at the table. Kira spread out the plates and the other stuff.

"Allow me to serve the breakfast."

"Oh no Kira, you don't have to-"

She is soon interupted when Kira put his index finger on Lacus' lips.

"Just let me do it, Lacus. You always have to work so hard."

She thought for a while, then nodded. So Kira served breakfast to everyone. After serving everyone, Kira sat down and everyone started eating. Kira was amazed at the taste of the food that Lacus cooked. It was so good that his face started to brighten up. Lacus could tell that he liked it. In fact, everyone liked her cooking. After breakfast, the children went outside to play. Kira stayed to help Lacus with the dishes.

"I'll stay to help you, Lacus."

"Oh...thank you."

Little did they know, they were being watched by one of the children. The little boy was watching the two of them doing the dishes.

After helping Lacus, Kira went to the living room. But before he could sit down, he noticed a little boy spying on him. It was the same little boy who spied on him and Lacus in the kitchen.

"You can stop spying on me now."

"Darn it! You saw me."

The little boy revealed himself.

"What's your name, little guy?"

"I'm not little! My name's Michael, but my friends call me Mikey for short."

Kira smiled at the 5-year-old.

"Okay, Mikey."

The two took a walk to the beach together.

"Wow. So you used to pilot those big machines."

"Yeah."

"What was it like?"

"It felt great at first. But when I found out that my best friend was my enemy,
I just didn't want to fight anymore, but I was forced to."

The next few moments were silent. Kira and Mikey stared at the sun.
Mikey then turned to Kira. He thought to himself.

' Wow. This guy's cool. I think I wanna be like him when I grow up.'

Mikey thought of Kira as his hero. A person who he looked up to.
Then, a question popped into his mind.

"Do you like Lacus?"

Kira twitched when Mikey asked this question. He started to sweat.

"W-why do you ask?"

"Because I saw you two talking in the kitchen."

"Err..uh-um maybe. I do. I love her."

"Ha. Figures."

Mikey and Kira went back inside. It was night time and Kira put Mikey to bed. He read the book, Little Red Riding Hood, to him to help him sleep. After Mikey shut his eyes, Kira went into his room. On his way to his room, he heard crying coming from downstairs. He went downstairs only to find Lacus crying while holding a picture of someone.

"I miss you so much. Why did you have to go?"

Her tears landed on the picture of the certain someone. Kira crept closer and saw that the picture she was holding was Siegel Clyne, her father. Kira approached Lacus from behind by putting his hand on her shoulder. Lacus turned to see who it was and saw that it was Kira. He looked straight into her eyes and wiped her tears away with his hand.

"...Kira..."

"I know how you feel, Lacus. Losing someone important to you hurts alot."

Lacus held on to Kira. He put his arms around her.

"It's okay to miss him, Lacus. It's okay. But crying won't bring him back."

Lacus looked at Kira in his purple eyes. As she stared into them, her face got closer, and closer, and closer. Her face got so close, that her lips touched his.
Kira returned the kiss. It was the moment he has been waiting for his whole life. He then broke it when he wiped the remaining tears in her eyes. The both of them got and Kira walked her to her room.

"Good night, Lacus"

He kissed Laccus good night.

"Good night, Kira."

Kira went to his room. Lacus just watched him go. She then went into her room and sat on her bed. Thinking about Kira, she closed her eyes slowly.
Then, she started dreaming.

She was dreaming that she and Kira were on board the Eternal, living together.
And she and Kira had about 3 kids, two boys and one girl. As it flew into space,
Kira and Lacus waved good-bye to everyone they knew.

The next morning, Kira woke up, only to see Lacus' warm smile in front of him.
Kira smiled back at her.

"Good morning Kira."

"Good morning."

Both of them went downstairs, only to find a letter from Reverend Malchio.

The note said:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Kira and Lacus,

I took the children on a little field trip to the city by airplane.
We'll be back by tomorrow.

Reverend Malchio

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lacus put the note back and sat down on the couch in the living room. Kira lied down with his head on Lacus' legs. He looked up at Lacus' smile, causing him to smile back at her. He then sat up and put his arms around her from behind. He put his head over her shoulder and whispered "I love you" into her ear. Lacus was shocked to hear those words from Kira. She couldn't move as Kira started kissing her from her neck to her cheek and then her forehead. He could hear her moaning. Lacus turned around and pushed Kira on to the couch. She started kissing him, from the lips and down to the neck. Kira pulled her closer to him and slightly touched her lips with his. His hands started rubbing her back smoothly. Lacus broke the kiss and looked into Kira's eyes, and he looked into Lacus' beautiful sapphire eyes. Smiling down at him, she brought her head back down and her lips touched Kira's. He ended up returning the kiss. This kiss was more passionate then the others. Kira broke the kiss. He looked straight at Lacus.

"Lacus, would you like to take a walk with me?"

"Sure...where to?"

"Anywhere is fine."

Both of them walked upstairs and got dressed. A few moments later, Kira and Lacus were walking the shores of the beach. Kira then stopped and turned to Lacus. The two looked at eachother.

"Lacus?"

"Yes Kira?"

Kira was struggling with this.

"Ever since the day I met you on the Archangel, I've felt different you. I felt like a little boy longing to make you laugh."

Lacus was silent.

"When I hear you sing, it feels like I hear an angel. And whenever I'm with you, I feel like I'm in heaven.

"Kira..."

Kira knelt down and showed her a tiny black box. Inside it was a golden ring with a red diamond in the middle and the words "I LOVE YOU" engraved around it.

"Lacus Clyne...will you marry me?"

Lacus struggled with this question. She thought for a few seconds. Then, she made her decision.

"Yes, Kira. I'll marry you."
