The Heart Doesn't Lie
Disclaimer: All this time and I still don't own.
Notes: In general, my thoughts for why I did certain things in this story.
I was thinking about what has been said about Kira being ooc if he is aggressive one and this is what I have decided- If I made neither of them ooc then nothing would happen, except maybe a couple of small kisses. In the show Kira kissed Fllay, among other things, but she was probably the one that instigated that. Athrun and Cagalli only kissed a couple of times. Therefore they have to be ooc. Also as far as Kira being the aggressive one thinking back to the shows (not talking intimately here) like when they pilot Kira could be considered more aggressive than Athrun, although part of that could be because we see Kira pilot more than Athrun. So I don't really think it is that far fetched that Kira could be the more aggressive of the two.
M- Thanks. I have read some like that but most of the tome it is Athrun.

Epilogue
2 and a half years later-- After High School Graduation Ceremony
"So Fllay, what are you planning on doing now that you have graduated?" Milly asked. The two girls had meet at Joe's for coffee and to catch up with each other. It had been a while since they had talked. Two year before, after their boyfriends had graduated they had become closer. But last year Milly graduated so they didn't see each other, as well as some of their other friends as much.
"Sting and I are going to move out of Orb. I am going to pursue my dream of becoming a professional tennis player. Hopefully, one day win the world championship." Fllay told her.
"What about Sting?" Milly asked, taking a sip of her coffee.
"He is going to be my personal trainer. The last couple of years he has been studying all about tennis so that he can come with me. And someday we are going to get married."
"That's great. It's good that you have things planned out so that you can stay together and still go after your dream."
"Are you still doing the whole photography thing?" Fllay asked Milly.
"Yep, I have even sold some. I decided I want to stay with freelance for now. At least until Heine graduates. I don't want to dedicate my self to a company until we figure out where we are going to live."
"You two live together now, don't you?"
"Yes, but in an apartment. We want to get a house somewhere later on. When our lives are a little more settled."
"Is Lacus still touring around doing concerts?" Fllay asked.
"Yes, she called me a few days ago to tell me she would be here for a show in a couple of months. We plan on getting together then. I don't get to see her much, she is always so busy." Milly said.
"Does she have a man yet? Maybe that's keeping her busy."
"No, she tells me she doesn't have time for that sort of thing right now."
"I guess Cagalli has been pretty busy too." Fllay said.
"Yes since she is in school, studying who knows what, in order to take over the school from her father someday. And Miguel is studying something to do with business. I think he wants to be able to help her with the school in some way."
"Those two are planning on getting married aren't they?" Fllay asked, Milly nodded in response.
"What about Luna? How are things with her and Rusty?" Milly asked.
"Good. Rusty is still in the military and Luna has been talking about joining. But I don't know if she will. She is afraid that if she does then they will be station different places and separated. She said Rusty is suggest she go to school and then she can move with him if he gets transfered."
"Hmm, I see. I hope everything works out for them. Oh, Yzak and Dearka both joined the military and somehow managed to not be separated, but they did join at the same time."
"How are they doing?" Fllay asked.
"Last time I checked, great. They are both still the same as they were before they graduated. What about Mia? Nicol and her still working on music together?"
"Yes, they are doing good. Oh, I have news you might not have heard yet. Luna's sister, Meyrin and Auel started dating this past year." Fllay said.
"No, I hadn't heard that. Last I heard he had a thing for Stellar, but then she got back together with Shinn. I heard from Athrun that Shinn is planning on moving where she is after he graduates next year." Milly said.
"Yeah, it must be hard for them being apart like this, but they seemed to be doing fine. But there was a little while there that I wondered if something might be there between him and Jet." Fllay said.
"They were just close friends. And Jet is getting married to Ari in a couple of months. I wonder how she can handle it, I would be so scared if Heine was a police officer."
"I understand what you mean. I'm glad Sting isn't doing something dangerous like that." Fllay said. The two girls finished up there coffee and left Joe's promising to call each other soon.

"So you will be starting college in a couple of months. How do you feel about that?" Gil asked Rey.
"Fine. I am majoring in science, I guess you have rubbed off on me in some ways. How is married life treating you?" Rey asked.
"It is fine, but now Talia wants to have a baby. I am not to sure about that."
"Why not?"
"I wonder if I can be a good father." Gil answered honestly.
"You were like a father to me and I turned out fine. I'm sure you will be fine." Rey said and smiled.
"Thanks."

"Kira this is the fifth apartment we have looked at today. Why can't you choose?" Athrun asked. The two were still living with their parents but had decided they wanted to get an apartment together. They had both joined university last year, the same one. They did not want to get a dorm room since there were rules that they would have to follow in order to live there. So they waited, found jobs and started saving up to move in together.
"I just want the best for you Athrun." Kira said and smiled softly at his boyfriend.
"I am starting to think you are not going to find something you consider good enough for me. Besides all I need is for you to be there with me. As long as I have that, anywhere is fine." Athrun said.
"Aww, aren't you sweet." Kira said and pushed Athrun up against the wall behind him. Kira leaned in and kissed him. At first it was just a sweet, gentle kiss but then Kira deepened the kiss shocking Athrun. Athrun pushed him away.
"Kira not here. We are looking at apartments we can't just start making out." Athrun said.
"If we take the apartment then we can." Kira said.
"Um.. ahh.." Athrun didn't know what to say. Kira walked back into the apartment living room, from the bedroom. The man that was showing them the place had waited for them there will they took another look around.
"Sir, we'll take this apartment. When can we move in?" Kira said.
"You will need to sign these papers and you can move on right away." Kira took care of all the necessary paperwork. After handing the keys over to Kira the man left.
Kira walked back to the bedroom, where he had left Athrun, and wrapped his arms around him.
"Now, where were we?" Kira said and went to work on Athrun's ear.
"Kira!"
"What? I signed the papers this place is ours now, so I can do this." Kira said.
"You signed the papers already?"
"You wanted me to decide and did say anywhere was fine as long as I'm there. And I am here, so this is fine." Kira said.
"You are impossible." Athrun said.
"You just figuring that out? And even so, you love me still. Couldn't live without me." Kira said.
Athrun hesitated, "You got me there."
Kira whispered in his ear, "Yeah I do. And I am never going to let you go."
The End
Yes, this is the end. I had a hard time deciding how to do this to tell what was going on later, so I chose this way. I am talking about the conversation between Milly and Fllay. I do like the end though. I am thankful to all who have read this story through. And to those that reviewed. It is really nice to know that people have enjoyed the story. I am sorry that I posted this so late it has been done, but I got side tracked when I discovered Kyo Kara Maou. It's funny I read about it a long time ago and thought it sounded pretty stupid, but I have come to love the anime, it is so funny. Anyway probably not a good excuse but it is the reason. Shame on me making you wait longer.
