[She hated this. Hated that he was going to get inside of his gundam, fly away where people would be trying to shoot him down and that she might not ever get to see him again. Yet Kaname couldn't tell him not to. Couldn't tell him to stay despite the fear that was wrapped around her heart so tightly that she was sure it wasn't even beating anymore. The world was at war and soon enough it would be at their doorstep. Innocent people could die but he has the ability to stop that.
It doesn't make this goodbye any easier though. Kaname's been quiet as people are bustling about the hangar, they're all so busy getting everything ready to send Athrun out there where he might die. She knows that he's an excellent pilot, that he could possibly come home without a scratch on him - be the victor.
But ever since he told her that he was going, something has been weighing on her mind. They've been friends for a while now. Started dating not that long ago and it's been great. She's enjoyed the time they've had together but when the news came that he was going off to war - that's when certain thoughts kicked in to overdrive. Kaname feels like they're running out of time together. And technically they are if that clock on the far wall is accurate. In less than an hour, Athrun would be gone. She'd insisted on coming along, not wanting to say goodbye at her door but wanting to spend every possible second with him. It doesn't matter if he's busy finalizing all the necessary checks, she just wanted to be by his side.
His back is to her currently and maybe that's unfair but it's now or never.]
I love you. [It's the first time she's said it. Before she's admitted to liking him romantically, enough to be his girlfriend but Kaname hasn't spoken those three words before.
Her hand reaches out to grab the back of his suit, stepping towards him until she can press her forehead into his back.] I love you. So you have to come back to me. I don't care how long it takes but you have to come back.
[Oh, now there are the tears that she's been holding back all this time.]
Love confessions!
