Reason

Let's embrace the miracle of our meeting, she told him once.

Kira didn't want to understand the meaning behind those soothing; comforting words, because almost everything of the girl reminded him of Fllay, and he savored the way she would caress his hair as he slumbered on her lap. The boy knew that Lacus' choice of words was comprised of rhetorical questions that seemed to inquire his being, and her lines hid a certainty behind them.

Because everything that happens, happened for a reason.

He didn't want to answer or argue with her in this one too, but this time he didn't try to push her away, with Lacus' face buried on his chest. Because it was him who said it, and Lacus was echoing him, believing that her father's death would have been peaceful, and he made her promise not to waste Siegel's sacrifice.

In return, she made him promise to come back to her.

I know you're not fighting for me, she murmured to him earlier, but please understand that I can't live without you.

He smiled then, whispering back to her, then don't make me lose a place that I can return to. Because my home is right by your side.

He didn't speak the last words, but he knew Lacus knew him inside out, and she lunged forward, their bodies floating from the lack of gravity, and he tasted Lacus' tears, salty, sweet and too intoxicating for him to let go as they flowed down his own cheeks.
