Chapter 19; Funeral Pt. 2; Every Breath You Take

Written By; TenshiSakuraTakai

...Could it be him? The image in front of Athrun, nearly took his breath away. What could be said to be Kira looked as if he was crying as well. Athrun gasped slightly, before running in his direction. Heart thrumming rapidly in his chest with each step. "Kira!" he cried out, shaking his head to rid of the tears. His deep emerald eyes slowly grew blank and emotionless, and the calls of Yzak, Tenshi and the others drowned away as he skidded to a stop in front of Kira.

Yzak glanced towards the others, who were looking just as perplexed as he was. Now, Athrun was seeing things too? Some of the funeral-goers were watching Athrun, some snickering, and others raising a brow, and turning away to go to the brunette's casket to pay there respects. The ones whispering to the people next to them, instantly shut up with one glare from Yzak. He mumbled slightly, looking to Cagalli who stood next to Tenshi. "He's seeing things?"

Cagalli's amber eyes were open wide, and she found herself speechless, and in shock. "…I…I don't think he is…" she mumbled softly. Glancing back to him.

"What're you talking a bout?" he asked raising his own brow, with a hushed voice.

Cagalli gasped softly. "Kira…I think I see, my brother!"

Kira looked down to Athrun, as he reached out and tried to touch him, but the blunette only succeeded in going through what he thought was his brunette lover. "Kira…?" he mumbled softly, starring up with wavering eyes. It seemed that Kira had gotten taller, for now he had to look up at him, but other then newfound height, he was the same…

He smiled a bit. "Athrun…" At the soft sound of his voice, Athrun stepped back and starred wide-eyed…

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you.

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

"…Why're you crying?" he asked with the same hauntingly soft voice, reaching out and embracing the younger one from behind, though Athrun couldn't feel him physically, he knew he was there, and he immediately leant back into him.

"…" he hung his head, and said nothing for awhile. He couldn't see anything now, it was a world of black, and only Kira and him stood in the light, coming from invisible lights from above. "…Because I love you," he mumbled now, with a soft sob…

Oh can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heartaches with every step you take.

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you.

Kira was silent, as Athrun continued. "-Because I love you…and now…you're dead, what do I have to live for?" he asked in confusion, tilting his head up and starring at Kira with hidden fear. "Everything's huge, confusing. Everything I thought I knew…it's just gone."

"…But I'm not gone. If I were gone would I be here? Embracing you? I'm not gone…I'm with you every step you take, and you know that, but your afraid you're minds just playing games on you…aren't you?"

Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace.
I dream at night, I can only see your face.
I look around but it's you I can't replace.
I keep crying baby, baby please..

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you.

Athrun blinked, and felt his mind slowly beginning to realize what was being said. He didn't speak again, and instead sobbed softly. Kira held him tighter, and dipped his head to kiss the top of Athrun's head.

And this time, instead of just a magic-like feeling, he could feel Kira around him, as if he was really there. He smiled softly through the tears, and broke down once more, crying as if he was locked in his room, with the music blaring, so noone could hear him through the music, and now, the music was the embrace, the ever-protecting feeling of Kira around him. A feeling he knew would never leave him.

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you...

Kira held him through the tears, softly humming something into his ear. A melody only he could hear. One that told him that he'd never be walking alone ever again, that somewhere, hiding, Kira would be. Guiding him, and holding him, in his time of need, and smiling and laughing with him through the good times. Athrun slowly came too, and he felt Kira release him of the embrace. Worried, he turned to face the brunette, to see his image slowly beginning to fade…

Kira nodded to him, a silent agreement that he'd be back. Athrun shook his head, not wanting him to leave, not yet. He seemed to understand, but he shook his head. "I've got to….but Athrun…Remember," he paused, (2.) "And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn, Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling…And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain…Just smile back…" he said with one last kiss before disappearing.

Athrun starred as he came too, looking around for Kira frantically, before stopping dead in his tracks, and turning towards the others, slowly moving back towards the casket, with his head low. As he walked past Cagalli and the others, he smiled a bit, "…When I'm gone, just carry on don't mourn, Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm looking down on you smiling, and I didn't feel a thing, so don't feel no pain, Just smile back," he said, quoting Kira's last words moments before walking silently towards the edge of the casket, and smiling softly towards the still-being before him.

Cagalli starred at him, before feeling the tears run down her eyes. It was a brother/sister feeling she'd suddenly been hit in the chest by. Cupping her hands over her chest, and crying softly. Kira…

Yzak stepped back, before turning his head abruptly to the side, and slightly dipping it. Was that…Kira talking? He clenched his fists, and let a few tears fall. Here, no one's opinion would matter. He felt something touch his shoulder, and went still, with a genuine, yet tearful smile. Kira…

Dearka starred at Athrun's retreating form, before shaking his head, and nodding a bit. Understanding the meaning towards his last few sentences, glancing at Kira's body in the casket. Suddenly feeling a twinge of guilt for not being there more for the other one, before he died. He hadn't known a bout any of this, until Yzak had told him a few days before his death, Dearka hung his head, letting the tears fall freely. Kira…

Tenshi smiled slightly, and hung her head, just as the others did, placing her palms flat against each other, praying to herself, for Kira's protection now that he was gone. Knowing full-well that they all had a guardian angel now, and she wished she knew him better, but it wouldn't be right to feel guilt now, as Athrun had said, Kira didn't want anyone of them to feel pain now, he just wanted them to smile, tilting her head back to the ceiling she smiled back. Kira…

Nicol didn't speak after this, and the whole funeral room went quiet, as he prayed as well. For the safety of all his friends, and the love of Kira to be with him. A guardian angel-one that had smiled through the hard times, and made it seem like nothing was wrong, when inside he was crumbling, crumbling to the point of no return, yet never letting anyone of them know how much pain he was in. Instead of worrying a bout himself, Kira was always there for them, as if there problems we're his only care in the world. He knew now, how much he'd miss him, yet, Nicol knew he'd be able to wake up with a smile until they day he too died, knowing how much Kira had cared for them all…Kira…

Lacus' pale face found color, as she dipped her head to whisper a prayer of thanks. She couldn't feel guilty for not being here now. Guilt was something that Kira said he didn't want anyone to feel for him, that was Kira for you. She smiled, and dropped her hands to her sides, and glanced at the group of friends around her. This would be what Kira wanted…Kira…

Athrun smiled softly, and he knew Kira was watching them, but he couldn't see him right now. The few minutes he'd spent with him a few moments before had meant everything to him. All the pain he'd felt, it was still there, but now he knew he wouldn't have to deal with it alone anymore. He had everyone here-and he still had the secret bond with Kira that nothing would ever break. He turned back to everyone. Everyone lifted there heads silently, and he reached out, taking Yzak's hand in one hand, and Cagalli's in the other, and from there, Yzak took Dearka, Dearka took Nicol's, Nicol took Tenshi's, Tenshi took Lacus' and Lacus ended the circle by taking Cagalli's free hand, all of them smiled through the tears, and looked to there neighbors.

From outside, a hidden angel stood, watching them from afar, tears dripping from his eyes, before once more, vanishing from sight…

Authors Notes; Okay, I know that hada lot of angsty, love, over-dramaticness to it, but I felt that it all had to be said.
