Dearka was never fond of wearing military attires. He always buttons up his uniform, wears the belt, and even wears the FAITH badge, but actually having to wear the WHOLE uniform – the gloves, the ranks and the hat, was really not him. If it weren't for the weekly meeting, he wouldn't want to wear them. Heck, if given a choice, he'd rather wear khakis and T-shirt to work.
"And now, the important are over. Let's get to the least important part" If there is one thing Lacus Clyne-Yamato could have done that others couldn't, that is to maintain her sweet persona, even when she's mad. Dearka still remembers the time when she was in the first trimester of her pregnancy; Kira Yamato, supreme general of Terminal and ZAFT's military service was reportedly sleeping in another room because she was moody, both him and Yzak was given a fiery tantrum and the orphans are secretly scared of her, yet all of her supposedly yelling and screaming is transformed into what its seems to be her beautiful sweet voice with a touch of sarcasm and some foul language. If he didn't know her, he might actually think that she was actually Cagalli.
"…and the Archangel is coming up tomorrow so you know the drill" Lacus finishes up her speech. Archangel? Here on PLANT? I wondered if Milly will be there …Dearka was back into his dreamy state, when he felt a nudge on his ribs. Apparently, Shiho had managed to poke him on his ribs.
"Aren't you listening to me?" Lacus said again, the exact words she said when she was pregnant with little Flay and Hibiki, the hint of anger could be heard although no one could hear it except for the people who are really close to her.
"I'm sorry, Chairwoman Yamato. Will you repeat again?"
"Archangel is coming up tomorrow. I want you to be in head of security"
"Yes, I …What!"
"You heard me. Head security. Archangel"
"But, why not Yzak or…or Shiho?" Dearka made his infamous pleading face. After the war, that seems to be one of his main weapons, especially with girls.
"Because, Commander Elthman, Chairman Jule is assigned on taking care of another security, which is mine and the high commander himself. And Major Hahnenfuss is in security over White Rose Hall, where the ball will be held later. In another words, they are all given the same tasks, but different places and time. Is that clear?"
Dearka couldn't help but sigh in defeat. Kira must've gotten her pregnant again, I guess.
"Is there a reason why you refused to take care of Archangel, Dearka?" This time, it was the High Commander of Terminal that spoke. Kira usually did not speak at all during meetings; usually just observing things as he was really an outsider at first. But being a high commander himself, and of Terminal of all things, Kira words are considered most important and is above Lacus's and Orb or any other leaders out there and all his orders are the first priority in both ZAFT's and Orb's military.
"Well sir…I thought that I will be in charge of tonight's security and I was really looking forward to it so…"
'I've just changed it. Like it or not, do your damn job. Meeting is adjourned" As Lacus gets up from her seat; all eyes in the room are actually glaring at Kira Yamato. Kira just made his innocent face and leaves as well. But Dearka, Yzak and Shiho followed him closely, trying to pull him away from the pink princess. As they all left the room, most of the chairmen and councillors started talking to each other, wondering if the commander had made the chairwoman pregnant again…
Dearka and Yzak quickly pull Kira away from Lacus, as Shiho walks beside her and tries to take her attention away. As they enter an empty room, Kira's innocent face has turned into an annoyed one.
"Yes, I know what you guys are thinking. And the answer is no" Kira quickly answers an unasked question. Yzak and Dearka looked at each other, before looking back at Kira.
"We haven't asked you anything, Yamato"
"Yeah, you are wondering whether if she is pregnant or not, right? The answer is no"
"Then why is the living hell is she becoming like that? It reminds me of the nightmares I had when she is pregnant with YOUR brats" Yzak purposely clears the statement. Dearka just shrugs in agreement.
"Well, something happened"
"Something…happened. Like what? Your sex life sucks? You guys are fighting? You took drugs…What, WHAT in this world could make her as mad as she is right now?"
"Now, now Yzak, don't hurt the commander…too much" Dearka tries too calm him down, as he has ever been. Yzak's hands in now on Kira's uniform collar, with his face looking like it could blow any minute now…
"She found out about…"
"You're gay?" Dearka said, obviously tries to crack a joke.
"No asshole. She has just found out that she's isn't my first"
"Yeah, we know that as well. It's written in your face" Yzak said, obviously trying to annoy Kira even more.
"And, uh…Flay isn't my first as well"
"And what does it has to do with all of us having to receive this treatment?"
"Because, she found it in YOUR diary, Jule. You wrote stupid things like that in a diary, Jule?" Kira's tone is now filled with annoyance and anger, much like his wife.
Yzak froze. How in the living hell did anyone have his diary. Apart form the one he lost during the first war, he burns all the old ones before writing a new one. Unless…
"Okay, I did write that shit somewhere. Athrun told me, something he kinda slips off when he's drunk. But I lost that diary a long time ago. So there is no way she could have known, unless someone found it and gave it to her"
"Well, if it isn't you, who did?"
A very good 10 seconds was passed between the three gentlemen when a hand was raised halfway up from one of the gentleman inside the room. His face is lowered as if he tries to avoid contact. The other two gentlemen now looked at him with utter disbelief and anger. His mouth opens a little to speaks, but his voice was hardly heard.
"I did…two nights ago. I found your diary recently, and I read it. Somehow, Lacus found out about it before I could finish it, and uh…" Dearka could hardly finish his sentence, when two separate blows were given to him to his abdomen. In pain, Dearka could hardly mutter something that he'll regret later.
"Ouch…but she…didn't know you…were referring to…her…when you wrote that sex fantasy….about her as an erotic dancer…Yzak…"
