Gundam SEED Fan Fiction ❯ Gundam Seed: An Alternative Universe ❯ At Archangel: Miriallia and Kuzzey ( Chapter 4 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Miriallia stared quietly at the half- empty cup of coffee she
held in her hands, the second cup that she had ever since she woke up,
her indigo eyes reflecting the dull surface of the brown liquid. She
was startled out of her mussing when all of sudden, the galley door
hissed open, and she looked at the intruder with an expectant
expression on her face, only to lose it and sigh softly when she
realized it was not the person she was expecting. She still could not
accept the fact that Kira is gone, even though a lot of things have
happened since Kira's capture. They were captured and held against
their will by Eurasia forces at Artemis, and were lucky to escape the
clutches of the ZAFT ship and three other Mobile Suits chasing after
them with only Major Fraga's Mobile Armor when they attacked Artemis,
but what about Kira? How is she handling herself with those
Coordinators from ZAFT? Is she even being treated as a civilian? Will
she even be coming back?

"Kira," she whispered softly as she stared again at her now
lukewarm coffee. Kira has always been there by her side, cheering her
up whenever she is down and putting her down whenever she is too high
in the clouds. Kira is like a part of her, a person that she can always
talk to, in many ways that not even she can talk to Tolle. Kira knew
all her mood swings, and has always appeared whenever she needed her,
but now, without Kira around, it is like there is a great void in her
life that not even Tolle, and his antics, and the others can fill. No
one can fill that void except her.

"Kira, don't you dare die on me," Kuzzey heard his orange- haired classmate whisper before she burst into sobs. He turned his eyes away from her and walked toward the water dispenser. Even he is feeling down, and he could not bring himself to comfort others when he cannot even comfort himself, but he and Miriallia are not alone, everyone in their close-knit group has been feeling down ever since Kira's capture.

Tolle no longer joked as many as he did before and the spark of mischievousness usually present in his green eyes was dulled by the sadness in his eyes, and Ssigh... Kuzzey lowered his head. Ssigh has been obsessed in his work in the battle control, he refused to leave his post, only taking his leave to eat, sleep a little, and go to the bathroom. Kuzzey had suspicions from before that the eyeglassed student might have hidden feelings about Kira, but he did not expect it to run this deep. Miriallia has been alternating her time between her post at the battle control, eating, or just crying. Her deepseated sorrow and concern for their brown-haired companion is understandable since she and Kira were as close as sister.

Kira has always treated him more than as a friend. Kira was like a doting sister to him, who always gave him attention when others don't and raised his spirits with a single beaming smile from her. Whenever the brunette found time, she would always cook for them, and take care of them when they are sick or injured. She also loves to scold them whenever Tolle pulls a trick on one of their professors, and yet loves to pull her own tricks on them. Kira is more than just a friend, she is a link that keeps them together. Just like what a sun is to a flower. Every last one of your worries disappear the moment appears with a ready ear and a compassionate heart.

Please keep our Kira safe, Kuzzey prayed to the heavens.
