Sadame
Once upon a time, you looked at your friend and saw simply a young boy like all other young boys out there. A boy who lived a happy life with his two parents; with his best friend - that was you. A boy who didn't care that he wasn't exactly a normal human being, that his genes had been modified at the dawn of his existence. Someone who laughed with you, played with you and happily hugged you each time you presented him with another of your mech toys (usually after the last one had collapsed on itself, you ruefully have to admit). Back then, you were the same as he; ignorant of the world outside of you, him and the few friends you shared beyond each other. The change came when your family decided to move away from your former home, from him. When you gave him that last gift; when he looked at you with big, teary eyes among the swirling sakura and tried valiantly to smile as a last gift to you, neither of you knew what the future would bring. The only thing you knew then, was that your beloved best friend was leaving, perhaps to never be seen again.
You did meet him again of course, and when you did, you were fighting inside a neutral colony to steal a weapon of mass destruction for ZAFT, the organization you now owed your allegiance. You never expected to see him, and the shock caused you to loose a unit to him. Sometimes now, you wonder how the world would look if you hadn't lost the Strike to him. If the two of you had not met face to face in the war. The answer you find inside scares you, no matter if it's on a personal level or on a larger level. For Kira is no longer the naive childhood friend you had - he is a warrior, a darn good one at that. And he has changed a whole world. But at that moment, standing face to face with you childhood friend, someone you loved, you could only see that you were on different sides in the war. That you would have to fight each other, most likely to death.
To be honest, back then, you never really thought that he and you would ever truly strive to kill each other. You know better now. Because you have, and you nearly succeeded. If not for an absurd twist of faith, you both would be dead. And the world would most probably still at war. You find it unreasonably amusing that the event that created the hero he is today, was the near death of both of you. Kira always tries to talk with you about it when you comment on that amusement, but so far, he hasn't succeeded.
You remember when your world changed, when you lost your faith in ZAFT and so also losing your family. It was all for the better you know now, even if you will always feel anguish at the thought of your father. When it actually happened, you weren't too sure. After all, you had just betrayed everything you stood for to stand at the side of the dearest friend you had. At the time you didn't know that he was more than that. Much more than that. You only knew that your heart beat fast and hard as you saw him smile at you. You only knew that your soul soared as you took part in the three way hug you shared at your reunion. Even Kira knew nothing of the feelings you shared back then. Cagalli keeps insisting that you were both in deep denial. Or to be more precise, she tells you that you were stupid idiots and typical males. It still makes you and Kira laugh.
Your first kiss was shared after the battle when you almost lost him. As soon as you were back on the ship, you nearly ripped the helmet off him and kissed him with such a desperation it left you both shaking. He was no unwilling partner, clinging to you as if his life depended on it. Only when his sister interrupted with a sarcastic comment about 'getting a room' did you part. And only to do just that. The memory makes you smile.
Sighing, you rise and walk away from the doorway you've been leaning in, watching your lover. It's morning, and you know that the person waiting in the bedroom hates waking up alone. It comes from the long time you spent apart. You do your best to indulge him, you don't have anything against it after all. Morning snuggles with the person you love is a beautiful thing after all.
You slip under the covers and slide tanned arms around the naked, lithe body underneath. Feeling a warm breath on your neck, you smile as a sleepy voice speak up.
"Athrun?"
You chuckle softly and playfully nips his ear.
"Yes, Kira," you obligingly said. "I'm here. Go back to sleep."
You can feel his smile on your skin as his breath evens out again.
