Metaphor of life
I decided to carry on! Its going to be a four part story, focusing on a different pair/character. So here's number two.(: Enjoy!
------------------------------------
The children were asleep, everything seemed so quiet and serene, so … peaceful. That's how life was like for Lacus and Kira ever since the second war ended, everything went back to normal and they found themselves back at the orphanage with the children, who had brought so much joy and laughter in their lives, their innocence never ceasing to amuse them. In the day, they spent time teaching the children some basics, playing with them although they always seemed to mess up the whole house, their laughter echoing through the house made every worth it. Night was a different thing, it was quiet and peaceful as the children slept, it was only at night that the pair would sit down and think, think about their future, the present, their disturbing past. The war was over, past tense, it was all in the past, but it made a great impact on everyone, leaving a scar which could never be erased.
The pair sat in the balcony looking at the stars while Lacus hummed simple melody which seemed to naturally just flow through her lips.
'You know Kira, Athrun asked me something today, He told me to go think over about my Metaphor of life, what I see life as…'
Kira turned to look at her, slightly stunned at the sudden topic.
'I thought about it hard, I think… Life is our own song. We weave our own songs, our own melody and sing the lyrics from our heart. Just like how we weave our own future, because we have the freedom to do so. Words can be the best weapon in a war…'
Kira stared at her for a minute in awe, and then thought over what she said. They both we just sitting there staring at the sky, enjoying the silence when Kira broke it.
'Life… is a race. An extremely competitive race. The first lap starts out easy but gradually gets tougher. If one gets too arrogant and sprints at the start, he wouldn't hold on till the end. Once we start out on the race.. we cannot back out of it, all we can do is persevere on because as long as we know we have given our best, at the end, we'll be given the rest and peace we deserved.'
'Peace… Yeah…'

. I know the first paragraph seemed weird, I was actually trying to show how their lives in now and although the war is over, they've haven't forgotten about it, how it would be etched in their memories forever
I chose a song for Lacus because I thought.. it suited her more. Well for Kira, it was kind of random. I hope you enjoyed it! R&R! 3
