A/N: It's just one or two shot? I don't know. Inspired when I listened a song. The title is Return by Lee Seung Gi. In my opinion, that was a heartbreaking song. Cagalli's POV. By the way, I'm just an amateur writer; feel free to give me advices or critics but no flame please.
Many thanks: for Lezala, FTSPeace and Bara no Jubai my first reviewers for the previous fic. *bowtoyouall*

"I'll pick you at noon." He said with his sweetest smiled. I nodded as closing his car door. When I started to walk away, he called out my name.
Looked over my shoulder, "be careful and don't get lost!" Heard that, I turned around and chuckled, "I won't Kira, now go! Lacus is waiting! Now, shoo…"
As soon as I mentioned his fiance's name he began to run his car away.
Sigh…
I even didn't know why I'm here; stood in front of gate of my old high school in this small town.
Not for long after I graduated from high school I got a scholarship and moved to City, continued my study in prestigious University and get a job.
The school building was no longer used and replaced with a new one which is not far from here.
After Kira leaves still on where I stand, I watched the scenery surrounded me. The birds were chirping the leaves were silently falling from the branch; it was so quiet and calm.
I found the gentle breeze caressing my face "Cold..." I murmured.
Well, this was almost winter anyway what do I expected? Running around with my bikini?
The bright golden rays touched my face still could not warm my cold skin. Closing my eyes adjusted my scarf around my neck and takes a deep breath. I am starting to move my feet.
"This place didn't change much" I muttered. Suddenly, flashback appeared in my golden head. Smile slowly inched across my face. My heart started to beating faster when I remembered… Him.
Him, who was always smiled. Him, who was always made me smiled. Him, who took my heart. Him, who broken my heart.
Spotted our 'regularly' place, I walked into it. There was little garden in the middle of the building school. In each corner of it there was a bench and small fountain in the middle of it.
I had chosen the east bench just as he, there were so many empty benches around us but we were always there.
Not many students came to this place although it still in school area. We were been there when the lunch time, but never talked for first time.
We sat in each end of the bench. We ate our lunch silently, after that he always closed his eyes whether his slept or no, I didn't know.
Regardless of him, I started too drawn many objects that landed in my eyes on my sketch book that I brought all along.
I chuckled when I remembered our first 'talk'. Hey, I think my hair is navy blue not dark purple, I jerked up and my amber eyes got wide when I heard his voice for the first time. His voice was depth and husky.
I didn't realize since when I've been attracted to draw him, how close our gap now, his left arm brush again my right arm and… when the hell he woke up. Raised his head, his eyes met mine.
Amber meets Emerald.
We gazed still like that for a few second; 'he has beautiful eyes I've ever seen.' I felt my cheeks became rosy. Realized I've been captivated to his emerald eyes I looked away with an embarrassed flush.
I'm sorry, that was all I could said. I remembered how his offered his hand in front of me with his handsomeness smile that could melt an 'Everest' and introduced himself to me.
Turn my golden locks around, I smiled shyly and met his gorgeous eyes again. I answered, Cagalli, as I shook his warm hand.
After that, we started to talk each other. We talk about our school project, our family, our friends, our hobbies, and vice versa.
Day by day… We talked and talked, blabbered this and that.
I found that his family always moved on from town to town even country, how he liked to made mechanical pets, his best friend who like played a piano was overseas and he had no… girlfriend.
I admitted, I always waited for lunch time since then.
He always liked to tease me, how he loved to make me pouted. It's because you're really cute when you pout; he always successful to make me blushed when he said that.
Until one day… This is my last day at school, which was he said without looking at me.
That was why I found it rared when he told me to meet him after school. I narrowed my eyes as my amber orbs searched his emerald one that had seem avoided it.
Many questions passed through my mind as I wanted to burst it out all and loud but I found it myself… speechless.
Sorry, as he stood up and walked away. Confused and shocked, whether what was in my mine as I looked at his back away, I chased and hugged him from behind.
I felt my heart sank when he loosened my arms and turn around.
Amber meets emerald.
At that time, his eye was showed reflection of warmth, sadness and love.
'Love...?'
Offered his sadly smiled, he hugged me. My amber widened when he hugged me but I hugged him back. Close both my eyes feeling the moment that will left behind. I felt so secured in his arms. My heart felt so warm.
For how long we stood still like that I didn't now. When he loosened his arm around my shoulder, half of my eyes slowly opened as his emerald orbs looked straight into my amber eyes and said,
I like you
My orbs completely open up heard those words. Still had smile in his lips; I opened my mouth only to be cut when he raised one of his finger to my lips.
Met his eyes again as he cupped both of my cheeks with his palms. I felt my body grew warm and my heart beating rapidly. As I closed my eyes, I felt his lips met my forehead.
My eyes flew open when he lowered his hands; he smiled once more time. While still looking at me, he slowly stepped one step back. Then turn around and walked away… without said a word.
I could only look at his back. I felt sad, confused and disappointed; but I didn't cried. I never cried.
'He's gone…'
Sigh…
How long I've been walking? Until I found myself already in front of school gate… again.
I didn't realize that I've been circling around this place. Started from classroom, principal office, gym, canteen even 'that place'.
How many years have passed by? Lost in deep thought, I didn't realize someone behind me.
'Was it love...?'
Suddenly, pair arm encircled my shoulders from behind and warm lips touched my left cheek.
"Kira didn't make it" his breath tickled my ear.
Without turned around I already recognized his voice. 'It's noon already? Just how long I've been here'
I smiled. "And why are you here?" heard that, he chuckled.
Loosened his arm "What would you expected?" as swirling me slowly faced him. I could see him clearly now.
'There was... Loved'
Raised my eyebrows questioned, "Kira's replacement?"
Familiar laughter echoes my ears. "You're amusing, my lady" he pinched my cheek.
"Ouch, what was that for!? And …no pet name!" Rubbed my sore cheek, I pouted.
"Why you didn't tell me to pick you up from the station?" He said with sad tone.
I raised one of my freezing hand and cupped his right cheek, answered him "I'm so sorry, I didn't want to bother you. And beside I've missed my idiot brother."
Now his time to turn pouted "And not missed me?" tiptoes my feet, I kissed his cheek.
Lowered my hand and sighed "I supposed to give you surprise about my sudden arrival, but I'll bet Kira forgot about it and give you a call?"
He chuckled "You bet!"
'I... still haven't forgotten you'
Raised his hand to reached mine, entwined my hand with his "You're cold, let's get back now. Your brother will have my head, if you get sick."
Give him my sweetest smiled as I slapped his shoulder lightly, "Serves you right!"
We both laugh.
Walked away, still holding my hands. I glanced once more over my shoulder, the place which brings back lot memories.
'Will you return...?'
"What is it?" I heard his voice worriedly.I raised my head to the dark haired man beside of me and looked straight into his ruby eyes. My amber one was trying to assured him.
I shook my head and smiled to my fiance who I met after he left, "Nothing…"
