-Sorry for not posting. I was, shall I say in a moment of blocking. Er...anyway, since I cause you all to wait an extra day, I went the extra mile to make the next part of the fic longer.
-Enjoy
Lacus waited as Kira slowly walked towards her carrying a long, slim black case in his hand. She loved how he would always try so hard to impress her on special occasions such as this.
“Here, this is for you.” Kira said as he held out the case in front of her and opened it.
Lacus gasped as he revealed a necklace to her. It had a long slender chain that seems to glisten due to his silvery color. At the base of the chain, was a silver pendent in the shape of a fully bloomed rose. At the tip of each petal was a small round diamond that seemed to hover between the colors pink, blue, and purple. She slowly reached out her hand and carefully lifted the necklace out of its case. Her fingers caressed the pendent. “It’s lovely.”
Kira smiled warmly feeling very satisfied with the response. “Here.” He reached for the necklace and unhooked the chain. He signaled for Lacus to turn around and as she did so, he wrapped the chain around her neck and reconnected the clasp.
Lacus turned back around with her fingers still caressing the pendent. She smiled happily at Kira. “Thank you so much.” She said before leaning upward and landing a gentle kiss on his lips.
“I’m glad you liked it.” He said. He leaned downward to return the kiss, but just as he was mere inches from her face, he heard a knock on the door. His expression went blank.
“Who could that be?” Lacus asked curiously as if she wasn’t fazed by the interruption. She turned from Kira and walked out the room in order to seek the answer to her question.
Kira sighed. This couldn’t be a better time for someone to come and visit them and he could only think of two people who would ever come and visit them. He turned towards the door and followed in Lacus’s path. As he neared the front door, he nearly tripped over at who he saw standing there. “Cagalli?”
Cagalli looked past Lacus to where Kira was standing. “Hi, Kira.” She said plainly as if nothing important was going on.
Kira blinked feeling confused. He didn’t really want to admit it, but he seriously thought that it would be Athrun standing at the door. Cagalli was usually too busy to visit and since the last war, it usually was just Athrun, and Athrun alone, who would visit. But Cagalli? “Is something wrong?” He blurted out. Obviously, he still couldn’t contemplate on why Cagalli would be visiting them on the day of all days.
“No. Why would there be anything wrong?” Cagalli asked feeling annoyed by Kira’s question.
“Why don’t you come in?” Lacus asked kindly after a while.
Cagalli gave her thanks to Lacus and then walked into the house. Kira’s jaw fell opened when he finally noticed what she was wearing. A dress? He wanted to pass out. What was Cagalli doing at their house on Valentine’s Day wearing a dress? Not to mention that it was somewhat of a fancy light blue dress. It had lacings at the hem, which nearly touched the floor, and lacings at the top, which was an off the shoulder style dress. Not only was she wearing a fancy dress, but her hair was done nicely in a tight curly bun. This was just so un-Cagalli-ish. He wondered if someone drugged her and forced her to wear a dress making her believe that she was really wearing khakis.
“What are you staring at?” Cagalli shot at Kira as she made her way over to the sofa.
Kira reacted with a slight jump. “N-nothing.” He took in a deep sigh before continuing on. “Sorry, I’m just in shock that you’re here. I mean, don’t you usually have some important matters to attend to?”
He watched as Cagalli held her breath for a moment before answering. “I did.” She said as if it really wasn’t of any importance to her. “However, my plans got cancelled.”
“Cancelled?” Lacus asked shocked. “Is there any reason?”
Cagalli shrugged. “Don’t know. Don’t care. I needed the day off anyway.”
“So, you came here?” Kira asked feeling awfully disturbed. He and Lacus exchanged looks. It was obvious that they both had the same thing on their mind. Cagalli was in a dress, and neither one of them had the nerves to speak up on it.
“I had no where else to go. Besides, I haven’t been here in a long while. I’m really sorry about that. You know how busy being the Representative can be.” Cagalli replied.
Lacus smiled gently at her. “There’s no need to apologize.” She looked over and saw Kira just as he rolled his eyes. She frowned at that, but then quickly put on a smile as she faced Cagalli again. “Tea?”
“Sure.” Cagalli said.
“I’ll get it.” Kira said and instantly left for the kitchen. He desperately needed to clear his mind. Not to mention, he believe that there was some matter that he needed to attend to himself.
“What important meeting got cancelled today?” Lacus asked once Kira had left.
Cagalli combed her finger through her bangs. “Just some meeting about government funds, nothing special. It’s no surprise that it got cancelled. It’s a subject that no one really wants to touch.”
Lacus looked at her surprised. “Why is that? I would think that’s a very important issue to discuss.”
“It is important, but I’m sure you know how it is to be able to come to a consensus with everyone about where and to whom our funds should go to and for what purpose and in what amount.” Cagalli sighed. “The list just goes on.”
“I see.” Lacus said quietly. “Though, as a leader of your people, you shouldn’t keep them waiting. A leader needs to address the needs of her citizens as soon as possible with very little delay. Otherwise, the citizens can become restless and distrustful towards the government and its leader for having lack of response to its people’s needs.”
Cagalli lowered her head. The last thing she wanted was to loose the trust of the citizens of Orb. Strangely, what Lacus said to her reminded her of something that Athrun had said to her a once before. Cagalli looked up suddenly. The thought of Athrun caused her to blush. “Uh, I think I understand.”
“I’m glad.” Lacus said.
Just as the topic seemed to have settled between them, Kira showed up with a tray of three cups with tea. He placed it on the table between Cagalli and Lacus and took a seat next to Lacus. He reached down and lifted one and handed it to Cagalli.
“Thanks.” She stated as she received the cup from Kira.
He then did the same for Lacus and received a smile of gratitude from her. He took the last cup for himself and began sipping slowly from its rim.
“I was thinking.” Lacus said with a high level of authority that worried Kira greatly. “Since Cagalli is here with us, why doesn’t she join us for dinner tonight when we go out?”
Kira choked on the bit of tea that didn’t quite make it down his throat yet.

- Guess what! I believe there's just one or two more parts after this one. Really, I think just one. So, it won't be long before you get to read the conclusion to this Valentine's Day fanfic special.
-Enjoy
“What is this place called again?” Cagalli asked enthusiastically while peering around the restaurant from her seat.
“The Misty Dove.” Kira replied dully.
“The Misty Dove? How can a dove be misty?” Cagalli asked sarcastically.
“I don’t know.” Kira exclaimed. “It’s just a name, you know, one that they thought of to attract couples on a day like this.”
Cagalli stared at him blankly.
Kira frowned. “You do know today is Valentine’s Day, right? Remember?” He asked slowly.
She didn’t answer him right away. Cagalli first opened her menu and perused through the list. “Yes, I know it’s Valentine’s Day. It only occurs once a year, you know. So, if you ask me, it doesn’t make since to call this place the misty dove.”
Kira sighed. “I give up.” He muttered under his breath. He had tried all he could all throughout the day and even on the way to the restaurant to drop the hint to Cagalli the he wanted to be alone with Lacus. It was no use. It was like romance didn’t exist in the world that Cagalli comes from. Obviously, he knew where such behavior was coming from and only one name came to mind…Athrun. Kira straightened up a bit in his seat and watched Cagalli as she stared at the menu. He wondered if he should dare ask her if she had thought have making plans with Athrun instead tagging along with them. As he opened his mouth to say something, he felt a nudge at his side. He looked to his left and saw Lacus give him a look that says “I know what you’re about to do, but I don’t recommend it.” Kira held his tongue bitterly and looked away. Now he fully understood the meaning of two’s company, but three’s a crowd.
“Cagalli,” Lacus spoke up softly. She waited until she was sure that she had Cagalli’s full attention when she looked up from the menu. “I’m very grateful that you would go through the trouble of joining us for dinner tonight. I’m sorry if it might have altered any plans that may have come up recently.” Lacus smiled and watched as Cagalli looked away shyly.
“Uhm, well, er….no! Thank you for inviting me!” Cagalli blurted out once she found the words she was looking for. “It was no trouble at all. I’m more than happy to spend to with you two.”
Lacus continued to shine her smile as Kira sat quietly to her side. She knew that he wasn’t going to dare get involve in this conversation. She knew that he had tried so hard to steer Cagalli away from his already planned evening. “I’m glad to hear it.” She responded. “However, you didn’t necessarily have to get all dressed up just to spend time with us. I know how much you disdain wearing them, may I ask what the special occasion is for?”
Kira’s head shot up. After being around Lacus for so long, he knew when she was trying to use her words to get through to people. He had to smirk when he noticed Cagalli’s discomfort from being asked that question. He then looked sideways at Lacus and received a nod from her that puzzled him at first; however, the realization had hit him and he then knew fully well what he needed to do, or else the rest of the day would be ruined by having to baby-sit his love-ignorant sister. He cleared his throat. “If you two would excuse me.” He got up from the table and left the two girls behind.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Something on your mind?” A young girl with red pigtails just happened to found herself asking a random question to a man that was sitting on a lone stool at the local café. She just couldn’t help herself when she saw how down he seem to appear on such a joyous day—joyous to some, that is. However, this wasn’t just any man. In fact, coincidentally enough she knew who this guy was. That’s why it wasn’t so odd for her to just go up to him and ask such a random question. “I hope you’re only here for the fabulous coffee they make here and not to mope around. They have bars for that, but I don’t think you’re someone who would drown your sorrows in alcohol. Am I right, Athrun?”
Athrun looked behind him immediately when he heard someone address him by his name. “Meyrin?” At that moment his day did a complete spin. He went from feeling miserable to being utterly shocked. “I thought you were in PLANTs training new CIC operators.” He looked at her in surprise. It’s been over a year since he last saw her and it was a definite change, with the exception of the pigtails. She definitely appeared as if she aged by a couple years, which didn’t cause her to look so young anymore, though Athrun knew that if she let her hair out from the pigtails that she would look like a lovely, sophisticated young woman.
“I was.” She said plainly as she seated herself next to him. “But I’m here on a special cause.”
Athrun raised his eyebrow. “Which is?”
Meyrin giggled. “To see if I can assist in making your day any better.”
Athrun opened his mouth slightly. He decided not to go any further into it and just went ahead an answered her previous question. “I was thinking on a lot of things.”
“Really?” She replied, only with a more serious tone. “Things not going the way you hope it would?”
Athrun sighed. “It’s not that I expected them to, but….I don’t know.” He began rubbing his forehead out of frustration. “I just feel like an idiot. Ever since…” He shook his head.
Meyrin watched silently as he closed his eyes. He seemed to have reverted back to his thinking mode. She thought it was best to wait until he spoke first.
“I want to tell her how much I really feel about her; however, I don’t think I’ll ever get that chance.” He finally spoke up after taking the time to think on it.
While waiting on Athrun to speak, Meyrin had accepted a glass of water that the waiter had given her. She took a sip from it before responding. “I’m guessing you’re talking about Cagalli.” She didn’t say anything afterwards hoping that Athrun may say something, but he didn’t. “What exactly happened between you two after the war ended?” She asked serenely hoping to see if he’ll at least reply to that question.
“I wish I really know what had happened. I just know that there was quite a bit of disagreement between us during the war. I…” He hesitated for a moment. “I also made a promise to her. I believe I disappointed her by not keeping that promise. She no longer wears the ring I gave her. It was suppose to be a symbol of that promise. I doubt that she ever forgave me for it.”
Meyrin watched him as he spilled out his thoughts to her. She really felt sorry that so much time was allowed to pass by without neither him nor Cagalli trying to figure out a way to resolve their broken hearts. “I say that today would be a great day.”
Athrun looked up at her puzzled. That was the most randomly incomplete statement he ever heard.
Meyrin just continued to smile at him despite the look she was receiving. “You heard me. It’s a great day for you to go to her and apologize for whatever wrong you may have done to her. I really think that you two should take the time to talk things out.”
Athrun’s lips curled into a smile. It wasn’t exactly a smile per say, but rather a try at a smile. It pretty much meant that he thought it was cute how Meyrin was trying to help him solve his problem, but he didn’t feel that she really understand what he was going through. “It’s not that simple. Besides, I did try to see if she was available today so that we could talk, but with her being the Representative, it wasn’t likely.”
Meyrin frowned slightly. Not that she was disappointed with the answer she had received, but rather that she was in deep thought. “Well, did you think that perhaps she was only making it seem as if she was too busy for her to get out and spend some time with you. If you really think about it, if it’s been over a year since and neither one of you have made an attempt to solve this, why would today be any different? And you know what day today is, right? She may not have been able to handle seeing you today.”
“Er…” His mouth hung open in shock. That was the last response he expected to come out of her mouth. He decided that maybe discussing this with her was the best thing he could do. “Then what do you suggest I should do? Interrupt her plans and demand to settle this once and for all?”
“Sounds like a plan to me.” Meyrin said cheerfully, reverting back to her youthful personality. “By the way, apologies go great with gifts.”
Athrun smiled. “I appreciate the help, but I don’t need that great of help.”
Meyrin giggled. “I’m glad to see you’re smiling. Well then that means my mission is done.” She stood up from the stool after sipping the last ounce of water from the glass. “Maybe next time I should actually take on the adventure of buying some coffee and not taking the safe road of just drinking a free glass of water.”
Athrun’s eyebrows rose. “Mission? Oh, by the way, what was the real reason for you coming down here to earth?”
She looked at him puzzled for a moment before she decided to open her mouth to reply, but before she could do that someone called her name from the other side of the café.
“Hey, Meyrin! There you are, I’ve been looking all over the strip for you.”
Athrun stared in shock as a young guy, who probably was the same age as him, walked up to them and placed his hand on Meyrin’s shoulder just as he leaned in and gave her a kiss on her cheek. His mouth practically hung open. Was this the same Meyrin?
“Uhm, this is Leon.” Meyrin said to Athrun after she settled down her fit of giggles from the kiss. “Leon, this is Athrun.”
“Ah, so this is the Athrun Zala I’ve been hearing so much about.” Leon said with a british accent as he extended his hand to Athrun.
“Pleasure.” Athrun said as he returned the gesture and shook hands with him.
“Most of what I’ve heard didn’t come from Meyrin, though. You’ve got quite a name on yourself you know.” Leon continued.
“Don’t make him feel so uncomfortable.” Meyrin said to him as she nudged him in the side. “Sorry Athrun, but we must go now. I hope I helped you out a lot.”
Athrun smiled at her kindly. “Yeah, you did. Nice seeing you again.” He told her before she left with whom he figure was her boyfriend. Athrun sat for a moment thinking about the conversation he just had with Meyrin. What she said seemed right to him and it helped him make up his mind about his next decision. That is until he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it from his pocket and looked at the number displayed on the screen. It wasn’t a number familiar to him, but he decided to answer it anyway.
“Hello?”
