"Athrun!" Thank God he's alone I thought he was with Cagalli again. I came to class early this morning because…Stellar was the one who woke me up! I almost had a nosebleed because her night-dress slid off a bit on her shoulder. We ate breakfast and talked about stuff.
"Hey Kira, do you know who's that?" Athrun said pointing someone. I looked where he was pointing and saw that it was Stellar. While we talked I found out that because she's shy she doesn't have many friends in her old school. I went to her and led her to Athrun. He gave me a curious look.
"This is my sister, Stellar." Stellar still looked afraid so told her that Athrun was a nice guy. She nodded and greeted him.
"Ohayou I-I'm Stellar Loussier y-yoroshiku."
"Oh so you're the one Kira was telling me about. From the way he talks about you I can see he likes you a lot." Athrun said with a grin and Stellar looked at me. I felt nervous all of a sudden and I glared at Athrun for telling her that.
"Stellar um…let's take our seats now." I said still feeling nervous. She nodded and led her to where I usually sit. I pointed at the chair next to me and I told her to sit there. Athrun whined.
"Hey, that's where I sit!" Athrun complained but I ignored him. Stellar tried to get off but I stopped her.
"It's okay Stellar just sit here." I said to her then I turned to Athrun "Just sit next to Cagalli."
"Oniichan?"
"Yeah?"
"When will oka-san get here?"
"We actually got here early today so she'll be here later." I said as I scratched my head and smiled. We were talking about some stuff until Dearka came in and ruined our moment. He whistled then leaned closer to Stellar.
"Hey Kira, who's this cute girl sitting next to you?" He looked at me before looking back to Stellar.
"She's my sister. Now stop staring at her." I told him rather annoyed that he just came in and ruined my moment with Stellar.
"I see…" He looked at Stellar again then smirked. "I'm Dearka. Dearka Elsman." He said with that playboy tone of his. I glared at Dearka but he ignored it. "I see you're new here so if you need someone to show you around just give me a call." He winked and I almost barfed.
"Sorry but I'M already going to show her around and I think Miriallia's calling you over there." I said pointing at his girlfriend with a triumphant look on my face. Dearka gulped and I laughed like a maniac in my head.
"Ohayou Kira." A sweet voice said behind me and I quickly turned around knowing who it was behind me.
"Ohayou Lacus." I said with a blush on my face. She giggled.
"What happened to that 'is you is or is you ain't my baby?' thing you told me yesterday?" she said and I could feel my face lose all its color. I completely forgot that I said that to her answering machine! Anyway I'm glad she didn't get mad but I feel really embarrassed right now.
"I heard that she's your sister now. I amazed that you're so protective of your sister Kira." I blushed madly. Lacus just complimented me! This is the greatest day of my life! While I was busy rejoicing I didn't notice Lacus was already talking to Stellar.
"Really?" I heard Lacus giggle. I swiftly returned to reality then I turned to face Stellar who was also laughing with Lacus. "Sugoi Kira! Not only are you protective of your new sister but you're so kind to her as well. I thought you were like Athrun and the other guys but now I see you're different." Someone pinch me! I must be dreaming…Lacus being amazed at ME! Wait…then that means…Stellar told her about the…No! Why did she have to go and tell her that!? I stopped panicking when Lacus continued. "I don't have sisters or brothers so I envy those who have siblings and I'm really amazed that you take good care of Stellar."
"I-it's nothing really! I-it's just that she's my sister now so she's a part of my life now…" I said looking away. I could feel myself blush.
"Oh that's so sweet! You really love her even if she's not your real sister, don't you?" I could tell that Lacus was really being sincere about what she was saying then she paused and blushed for a moment. "I…really like guys who are like that." Did she just say that she like guys like me? Yesss!! I have a chance on her! But why don't I feel that happy? I always thought that I'd be telling the world that I have a chance on Lacus but…The bell rang before I finished my thoughts.
I found myself staring at Stellar again. She was wearing her school uniform. I looked down and noticed how nice her legs were…my body's feeling hot again…better look at something else. I looked up and stared at Stellar's chest…my sis is so…HOT. I want to…No! What am I thinking!? I like Lacus! Lacus is the one I like! But even though I kept saying that I still felt really hot just staring at her chest.
"Oniichan…" Her voice knocked me out of my fantasies. "Daijoubu?"
"Huh?" Why is he asking me if I'm alright? Is something wrong?
"Ano…your nose…it's bleeding." What!? I put my hand on my nose and it is bleeding! The teacher came in and I excused myself. While walking I couldn't stop thinking of Stellar. She's the only thing that's on my mind lately. Even when I'm asleep I dream about her! And trust me you don't want to know what I do to her in my dreams…Stellar…why can't I get you out of my mind? It feels like I'm going crazy. I-ooff!
Oh it looks like I bumped into Andrew-sensei. I was so busy thinking I didn't see where I was going. He dropped some papers he was holding and I helped him pick it up.
"Gomen…I was thinking and I didn't see where I was going."
"Don't worry about it. More importantly your nose is bleeding. Did I bump you that hard?"
"N-no I-it just happened during class. I'm actually on my way to the bathroom to take care of it." I was about to walk away when he called me.
"Kira I heard you're Murrue's son now." He said with a grin. I really don't know what to say. I guess oka-san is really happy to have me as a son. "You should really study harder now that you're the son of a teacher he said then walked away."
I went inside the bathroom and started to wash my face. I took some tissue and wiped my nose with it. I looked at myself in the mirror. I still can't stop thinking about Stellar…why do I feel this way about her? I don't understand. I have trouble talking to girls but she makes me feel comfortable whenever I talk to her.
"I went back to class and I found her listening attentively to the teacher. I smiled at how cute she looks while listening but then again she's always been cute…and beautiful. I went back to my seat and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Stellar let's eat lunch together okay?" I asked her.
"Okay." She agreed then we listened to class.
Time flies by so fast…before I knew it lunch already came. Other students already left to eat lunch but I waited for Stellar to finish fixing her things. I felt someone tap my shoulder. It was Athrun.
"Kira we're going to our usual spot to eat. Let's go." He told me but I refused.
"I'm not going to eat there today. I'm eating with Stellar." Athrun looked a bit surprised since even though I always feel left out because their girlfriends are also eating with them, I never refused to eat with them.
"Then she can eat with us." Athrun suggested. I know Athrun meant good but I hated the idea of making Stellar eat lunch with Shinn and the others. They're my friends and I should trust them but I don't feel like Stellar should hang out with them.
"It's alright Athrun. I'll just eat with her alone." I said liking the idea very much. Athrun gave up and left.
"Oniichan you don't have to do that just to spend time with me. I'll be fine eating by myself." Stellar looked so guilty when she said that. I don't want to make her feel bad. She doesn't know that I intentionally did that because I WANT to spend time with her?
"Stellar it's alright. I did that because I want to be with you." She blushed and looked away.
"Oniichan…" I grabbed her hand and led her outside where I saw a tree that provides good shade against the sun's light. I asked her if she wants to have lunch there and she agreed. We went there and sat down and just…talked.
"Stellar if you have time tonight…would you mind going out with me? I want to take you to a place." She smiled brightly and I felt the familiar butterflies in my stomach whenever I'm around her. I dunno…it's a strange feeling I have whenever I'm around her. I feel nervous and happy at he same time. Weird I know but I can't say I don't like it.
"I don't mind going with you tonight oniichan." She said as she ate her lunch. I leaned on the tree trunk and felt a smile make its way on my lips as I pictured in my mind what's going to happen tonight. I'm going to show Stellar the one place I truly keep a secret. Something even Athrun doesn't even know.
"Stellar…" Her name just escaped my lips and I just found myself leaning towards her. My heart beat faster but somehow I managed to relax and close my eyes.
"Oniichan…" she also closed her eyes and leaned towards me…I can feel her warm breath on my lips. We must be only centimeters apart now.
"Kira!" I opened my eyes and found out what I was doing to Stellar and quickly pulled back. I hid the blush that I felt my face was doing and faced the source of the voice. It's Lacus…but why is she here? I glanced at Stellar and she was looking away with a slight blush on her face. "Kira I finally found you!" Lacus said as she reached us. She bent down and touched her knees and panted. She must've been running around to find us.
"Hi Lacus…um…is there something you need?" I asked not knowing what to say since this is the first time she came to talk to me at lunch. I must be seeing things but I think she blushed before looking at me.
"I…wanted to eat with you guys…can I?" she asked a bit hesitantly. This day is really surprising but in a good way. I looked at Stellar to see if it was okay. She nodded her head.
"S-sure you can eat here with us." Lacus felt relieved about something I asked her why but she said it was nothing. I didn't push it if she didn't want to tell me; I don't want her to get angry with me especially now that we're becoming friends or at least I hope so. One thing's bothering me though. "Sorry if this sounds rude but Lacus why are you hanging out with us? Aren't your friends upset or something that you didn't eat with them?"
"Oh, I told them I wanted to hang out with someone new for a while and they're cool with it."
"I see."
"So, Stellar what were you guys talking about before I came here?" Oh God please don't let Stellar tell her we almost kissed. Huh? Why are the guys looking at me? Even Athrun is giving me the same look as them. Never mind them now I'll deal with them later.
"Oniichan said he'd take me to a place later after school." Lacus beamed.
"Oh, can I tag along?" I wish she'd stop looking at me with those puppy dog eyes. Stellar is the only one I want to show that place to. But I can't just reject Lacus…sorry but I don't think I can show you that place yet, Lacus.
"Sure, just meet us after school." I'll just take both of them to a different place. I don't think I can show anyone but Stellar my secret place. Heh. I already can see the guys laughing at me if they find out that I have a secret place.
"Okay." Lacus said then us three talked about stuff until lunch was over.
"Hey Kira!" Shinn said as I met him in the basketball court outside school. He's holding a ball in his hand so that means…
"Sorry Shinn I don't have time to play." I said hastily and tried to walk away but he grabbed my arm and stopped me.
"Aww come on, you ditched us at lunch and now you're refusing to play basketball with me?" Shinn was giving me the same puppy dog eyes gave me earlier, except Shinn's puppy dog eyes just creep me out. I agreed only because I want him to stop doing that.
"Alright, fine but let's make this quick. How about first one to reach ten?" I asked hoping he would agree.
"Sounds good to me. Alright let's play." I took off my uniform since I might get sweaty. Me and Shinn were only wearing our undershirts. I watched him dribble the ball and carefully thought if he was going to move to the right or left. He turned around so his back was facing me giving me a harder time to steal the ball.
Shinn suddenly made a sudden movement with his foot making me think he was going to try to pass my left side. I tried blocking him there but I got fooled by him. It was a fake. Shinn quickly went pass my right and ran to the hoop. He's going to try to dunk the ball again. Doesn't he ever learn? I've seen him dunk the ball so many times I can basically swat the ball off his hands with my eyes closed. As predicted, I swatted it. The ball bounce to the ground but I managed to get it before he did so now Shinn was on the defensive.
"Beginner's luck." He said with a smirk as I dribbled the ball. I smirked back.
"Fine then. Get ready for an in-your-face-disgrace." I jumped and prepared to shoot the ball. My smirk grew wider when I saw his eyes widen. I knew he wasn't expecting I'm going to do this I was about to shoot the ball when all of a sudden…
"Onnichan!" What the!? Stellar!? I didn't manage to shoot the ball properly. From a distance it looked like a perfect shot, it even had Shinn fooled but I knew better. The ball hit the side of the hoop and bounced back hitting me square in the nose. I fell to the ground holding my nose. "Oniichan! Daijoubu!?" I could hear Stellar asking.
Shinn blinked at me for a while before laughing. He was laughing so hard he fell to the ground and he was holding his stomach and kicking his legs to the sky.
"In-your-face-disgrace is right! Ha ha ha! That was hilarious! I wish the guys were here right now! If only I had a camcorder! Ha ha ha ha ha!" Shinn choked from all the laughing he's doing. Stellar helped me stand up and told me that Lacus was waiting for me. I grabbed my uniform and prepared to leave. "Hey where're you going?" Shinn said finally managing to stop laughing.
"Home." I said bluntly. "Ja."
"Oh, okay. Ja." I walked to together with Stellar while holding her hand to go to Lacus.
"Sorry I made you lose your concentration Oniichan." Why is Stellar feeling guilty? It's not her fault.
"It's alright. Don't feel bad. Accidents happen so it isn't your fault." I said as I kissed her cheek quickly before Lacus saw it.
