This story is a translation of my German story. English is not my mothertongue so it might sound a little strange sometimes ;) It´s still very short but I already have the second part written in German, translation will come soon. The plot is nothing new and spectacular, I just wanted to let my favorite characters live as they are (in my opinion ). I hope you enjoy reading it and I would be thankful for reviews.

I rated it T, because this will be a lovestory and I´m in favor of detailed descriptions ;)

Before the story starts: I (unfortunately) do not own the characters of Gundam Seed (Destiny). Story setting is C.E. 74, April, 4 months after the second war.

1.

It was a nice day on the PLANTs: the sky was blue and the weather was warm. You could almost watch the flowers blooming. The handsome young man who was standing at the window could have been the perfect accessory for this beautiful scenery: dark blue hair and emeral eyes combined with a longsleeve-shirt in bright red and black trowsers. But despite of his good looks he seemed drained and his eyes weren´t sparkling.

Athrun looked out of the window but he hardly saw anything. Neither how the flowers outside started to bloom, nor how a group of birds were fighting over some crumbs of bread. He didn´t even notice his own reflection on the glass, because deep down in his thoughts he was far away where he only had eyes for one special person.

If only I knew how she is doing. Am I also playing a part in her considerations? She probably hasn´t got the time to think about something other than politics.

Athrun closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh. This was exactly the moment when the door was opened and someone entered the room. He could tell without looking that it was Kira.

For a while they were just standing there side by side silently, each one looking out of the window, before Kira moved his head to look at his friend.

„Lacus and I are going out with the kids to eat some icecream. Now that spring is here they will surely enjoy being outside in the sun."

A knowing smile was on Kira´s lips as he averted his gaze and looked out of the window again. Athrun had noticed his friend´s facial expression.

„You think I should go out as well?"

Kira was smiling as he placed a hand on Athrun´s shoulder and answered:

"In your thoughts you are already there. There is someone who worries about you thinking too much. So stop pondering and just go."

For a brief moment Kira could see a smile forming on Athrun´s lips before his typical thoughtful face was back.

"I´m such an idiot. I should have learned from my mistakes in the past, but I ended up making the same mistakes again. Why do I always hurt the people who are most precious to me?! She is right, if she calls me an idiot-coordinator. I wonder if she wants to see this idiot ever again..."

„You will only know if you get on your way. And besides... I am sure that she is already waiting for the idiot to come back; if it is only for giving you your punishment."

With these words Kira gave Athrun a friendly thump and led him out of the room.

"But before you leave you should eat an icecream with us."

Athrun couldn´t say anything against it so he just followed his friend. He was relieved that Kira kind of made this decision for him. He was sure to change some things in future although he wasn´t quite sure where to start. At least he knew how to do the first step.

Being a little less idiotic would be a good start.

Kira at the same time was happy to see Athrun´s eyes sparkling like they last did about a year ago. It wouldn´t be easy for him but Athrun´s live had never been easy. Kira admired the strong and thoughtful character of his friend but sometimes even Athrun needed to be shoved in the right direction.
