Chapter 6: You and I
The bright morning sun eventually crawled its way into the room illuminating it with both warmth and light, waking the pink princess from her slumber. The blue cerulean orbs gently flickered open and Lacus soon found herself staring at her bedside clock. It read 10:00am. Normally she would be have been up and about by 7:30am but she had decided that today was going to be different. Wagging school wasn't something that the pink beauty was used to, but her thoughts just couldn't slip away from the young brunette.
Lacus got up and went straight to take a nice, hot shower. She had spent all last night trying to come up something to do for Kira, even if it is something small so long as it was meaningful. Although many possibilities were made available on her mind, none of them seemed to be fitting and she really feared the stability of their friendship right now.
What am I thinking? Kira would have probably gone to school, so why am I staying at home?
Despite knowing that assumption, somehow she felt that Kira wasn't going to school today, not after what she had done to him. Without even thinking, she grabbed her phone and dialled Kira's number.
The young brunette lay in his bed feeling completely exhausted from the events before. The small chat he had with his sister this morning wasn't exactly honest and despite acting so strong in front of his sister, he knew very well that he was broken. The sudden loud ringing of the phone broke Kira from his trance. He slowly crawled out of bed and reluctantly picked up the phone.
"Hi, its Kira here."
"…."
"Hello?"
"….."
"Ok, sorry but I got something important to attend to so I'm going to hang up." Kira said firmly.
"No wait Kira!" Lacus suddenly burst into the phone.
"La…..Lacus?….." Kira stuttered into the phone completely shocked by the fact that Lacus was calling him.
"Kira…I….um….." Lacus stammered trying to come up with something to lift the tension.
"What is it Lacus?" Kira said as he slowly recovered.
"Could we meet up today? …Just the two of us?" Lacus could feel her heart pounding really hard in her chest.
Kira was surprised by the sudden question from the pink princess. Didn't she just reject me earlier? Could this all be some sort of joke? "This is not funny Lacus, why don't you ask Dean out so…"
"I wagged school today, I want to spend some time with you." Lacus said timidly.
"…"
"Don't worry Kira, I don't want to be forcing you. I'll just…"
"I'd love to spend the day with you! When and where do you want to meet?" Kira blurted out.
"How about we meet at the entrance of the freedom mall at 12pm?" Lacus suggested.
"Sounds good! I'll see you there!" Kira replied happily and gently placed the phone down. What should I do once I meet up with Lacus? Maybe we should watch a movie? No that's just old school, how about we go shopping? I know Lacus loves shopping. Kira thought dreamily.
"Hello?!" Cagalli shouted in Kira's ear.
"Waahhhhh, what was that about?!" Kira responded in fright.
"Well I called your name like a gazillion times and all you did was smile with that dopey smile of yours. You sure you are ok?" Cagalli asked with frustration and worry.
"Well never mind, what would you like for lunch? It's getting close to 12 now you know?"
"Shoot! I'm going to be late to the…..thingy!" Kira shouted suddenly remembering the meeting with Lacus.
15 云乃帕芟minutes later
Where is she? I hope she didn't leave. I can't believe I am late to something like this. Kira thought as he stared at this watch angrily. It read 12:01pm. If only I didn't go to the toilet.
As the freedom mall drew closer and closer into view, the young brunette anxiously scanned the environment in signs of the pink-haired princess. The crowds seemed to throw every lovey-dovey couple into his way, making him more and more anxious to be one of them too. Only Lacus and I are just friends, Kira thought and sighed. Just then, Kira spotted a flutter of pink just ahead of him and as he glanced over, his eyes widened in astonishment.
Lacus's POV
As Lacus sat patiently waiting for Kira to arrive, she couldn't help but notice how fast her heart has been beating ever since she asked Kira out earlier this morning. To make sure that Kira would not have to wait for her, she arrived at the freedom mall half an hour early. Before she could continue her train of thoughts however, she was interrupted.
"Lacus?"
Lacus looked up and stared in surprise. "What are you doing here Dean?"
Without warning, Dean grabbed Lacus's wrist and forcibly lead her into an alleyway. He pushed her against a wall and leaned close to her face.
"Lacus, why did you reject my invitation?" Dean asked with an obvious hint of anger.
"What do you want?" Lacus asked timidly.
"I want you to be with me forever" Dean replied with a devilish grin, which sent shivers down Lacus's spine. Lacus closed her eyes in fear of what was to come.
A loud thump was heard and Lacus could feel Dean's grip on her slip away. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at her saviour. It was none other than Kira.
"Oh Kira!" Lacus gasped as tears began rolling down her face.
Normal POV
Kira kneeled down and embraced Lacus in a tight hug. He could feel her begin to relax at his touch as the sobbing slowly subsided. Kira could smell the sweet fragrance and feel the softness of her flowing pink hair.
"Are you ok lacus?" Kira asked soothingly.
"I'm feeling much better now, thank you Kira." Lacus replied softly.
"Don't mention it, I'll always be here for you. Anyways, do you want to go on that date…ah I mean walk we were planning to have" Kira stuttered as a blush began to erupt on his face, which was noticed by Lacus.
"Ok, lets go." Giggled Lacus as she too began to feel a blush surfacing.
The pair began to make the way towards the freedom mall as the sun began to shine brightly through the clouds sending rays of light and warmth. Lacus took a quick glance at Kira and couldn't help by notice how handsome he looked. Kira looks so handsome right now, is it just because the sunlight?
Kira took a quick glance and caught Lacus staring at him. The pink princess tried to look away before finding Kira's hand in hers, their fingers intertwined.
"Lacus, do you like ice cream?" Kira asked casually.
"Ice cream sure is one of my favourites." Lacus replied gleefully.
"Cool! In that case lets head upstairs and buy some ice cream first"
The ice cream shop was very popular and the line was massive, however since Kira was a frequent customer there, he got to line up in the vip line.
"Hey Kira! How is it going? Busy with school?" Asked Andrew.
Andrew Waltfield was the owner of the popular ice cream store in freedom mall and was always like a caring second father to Kira.
"Everything is going perfectly fine, Mr Waltfield" Kira replied with his usual smile.
"And who might this be? Is she your girlfriend?" Andrew asked looking at Lacus.
Kira and Lacus took a quick glance at each other before blushing like crazy. Andrew noticed how nervous the pair looked and decided not to dig deeper into the subject. After they bought their ice cream, they sat by a window, which showcased all the beautiful scenery outside.
"What a beautiful day it is Kira." Lacus said with a huge smile as she licked away at her ice cream.
"It sure is Lacus" Kira replied and decided to take a glance at Lacus. The pink princess wore a beautiful blue sundress that seemed to amplify her beauty, which just looked even better in the sunlight. She really is so beautiful.
"Kira, is something on my face?" Lacus suddenly said noticing the brunette's gaze on her.
"Nothing, your face is just pretty…. I mean. Did I just say that out loud?" Kira asked astonished.
Lacus quickly looked away, cheeks burning from the compliment. Why do I feel so strange? Is it really hot in here? Lacus quickly look another lip of her ice cream still deep in thought.
"So how is your strawberries and cream flavour?" Kira asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Pretty sweet, although this is a lot." Lacus said while licking up another bit of ice cream, however she didn't realise she smeared some on the side of her lips.
Kira couldn't resist the urge and leaned forward, giving her a quick kiss on soft lips before slowly pulling away again. Lacus was taken by surprise but seemed to recover instantly.
"Your ice cream tasted really, really sweet" Kira said with a grin.
"Really? Do you want to taste it once more?" Lacus said while looking at Kira timidly.
Kira didn't hesitate as he leaned in once again capturing Lacus's lips in a passionate kiss. The pair eventually pulled back, both gasping for air.
"Lacus, about tonight, could you…' Lacus silenced Kira before he could finish his sentence.
"Kira, could you come to the prom with me tonight?" Lacus asked with another blush surfacing.
"I'd love to" Kira replied and embraced Lacus tightly.
Meanwhile in the dark alleyway beside freedom mall
Dean groaned as he slowly got up into a sitting position, the effort along was making his head hurt. All he could remember was getting hit suddenly from behind and Lacus saying someone's name. What was the name again? Was it Katie? Or perhaps Karen? I remember it was something with a K in it. That was when it hit him.
"How dare you Kira!"
