Ok! Ladies and Gentleman!
To Start, I originally made this fic when I was like 13, and I had no clue what to write, or how to write. BE NOT AFRAID! I believe my skills have increased about 1000% (No joke, I really do).
Any-whoo! This is a not so much of a rewrite, but a complete overhaul and upgrade of the first chapter, and if I spend a couple of more days thinking on what I want to write then I can make more chapters.
Forward!
"Damn! I'm sick of all this work!" Cagalli thought as she signed the last letter to city planners who requested that another memorial should be built for the capital city. She was getting a lot of those lately, and they haven't been making her job any easier.
After she put her last name, 'Attha' on the paper, she threw the pen which she used to write, across the room and proceeded to put her head down for a nice well-deserved nap, just herself ,in peace and quiet.
"All this work is getting to be too much for me. It's sapping all my energy and it might as well be taking a part of my soul for every letter I write." Cagalli said to herself.
After resting for a few minutes she leaned back in her chair, and observed her office. It was Bland, boring, profession, and completely made for a bureaucratic politician, not a hot-headed soldier new to politics.
She looked around her desk and noticed an envelope still in her mail-tray.
"Man, when can I retire…?" She said.
Cagalli pick up the envelope and was about to rip it open, when she saw a familiar name on the front of it.
'-From Kira'
Cagalli's face soften at the sight of her brother's name..., her brother. Cagalli's heart sped up as the certain thought passed through her mind.
"I wonder what would have happened if we...no nothing, he had a thing for Lacus, right? Of course! Why else would they be together?"
Two months ago, Cagalli and Athrun had a falling-out in terms of their relationship. They had a political argument on what stance Orb should take now since it has been a year since the Second Bloody Valentine War. Athrun suggested that Zaft and Orb should organize a treaty together. One thing led to another, and Athrun stormed out suggesting that they should end 'it' there.
Today was Valentine's day, the day young lovers went out on dates, gave chocolates to each other, and held themselves in each other's arms. But here she was all alone, sulking in past relationships and "What if's".
Cagalli held the envelope in her hand and observed every piece of it, the sides, the ink that was used to right Kira's name , everything.
With a smooth, delicate touch she opened the letter, unfolded it...
'Knock, Knock, Knock...'
Cagalli quickly put the letter in her desk drawer.
With hesitation, because she feared that her secretary would come with another stack of papers, she said "The door is open. Come in".
The knob turned, and Cagalli went to grab another pen to replace the one she catapulted in the air minutes ago.
As she pushed the pen's button she moaned "Alright, let's get this done before I kill someone."
"I'm guessing I came at the wrong time" the deep, husky male voice replied.
Cagalli looked up, and what she saw completely reversed all her negative, sad emotions, and replaced them with joy and excitement.
"Kira!" Cagalli said as she jumped out of her leather chair and ran towards to embrace him and his much needed warmth. Both Kira and Cagalli held each other in their embrace for a few moments to relish the company and presence of each other.
Still holding each other, Cagalli said "I'm so sorry; I thought you were that stupid secretary that was going to give me more work to do. I'm so glad it was you..."
Kira slowly reached to lay his hand on Cagalli's face. "I'm surprised you forgot" Kira said.
Cagalli pulled back a little in confusion "Forgot what? When it comes to you Kira, I don't forget anything."
Kira's face sadden for a moment, but then quickly made a smile as he said "Well apparently you didn't read my letter that I oh-so-put my effort into, to write and send directly to you."
"Oh, that...right..." Cagalli thought to herself. "Crap, Kira probably thinks I'm like the worst sister in the world!"
Cagalli let go of Kira and she walked to her desk to sit down. Kira likewise went to sit in the guest chair in front of the desk, usually meant for secretaries, aids, and other world leaders.
"So, I'm guessing you did not read my letter?"Kira said.
Cagalli lowered herself in her chair, acting as if she was a child who disappointed her parents with a bad grade on a test. Cagalli replied " It's not that I didn't want to read it...it's just I only received it today."
Kira paused to look at her for a moment, her features, her face, and her person. Behind all the soldier attitude and political speeches, there was a girl, no a woman. A woman who cared for him, not just now, but when it mattered in the first war. During that time, fighting in the war he did not wished to fight, and while being over taxed by all the pressure put on to him by his friends and comrades.
But she was there, always. When he was done working on the old Strike Gundam, she would come to eat and talk to him over lunch or late dinner. She was the one that comforted and tended to him when he was in doubt or over-stressed. She was the one that fought beside with, and...loved.
Cagalli noticed him staring and said, "Kira, I'm sorry about not reading the letter, It's just...so many things have happened. Work, rebuilding efforts, Athrun..."
Kira looked at her calmly and said "Cagalli".
"Yes?" she replied.
"Take your clothes off…" said Kira.
...
...
...
"What! ...I...Kira..." Cagalli blushed as she stuttered her words.
"Does he really mean...no, he couldn't. It's way too soon, but I'm not against it…" she thought.
...
"Take off your clothes, and put a nice dress on. You should get out of this office, its killing you." said Kira.
Cagalli paused for a moment and thought to herself "Cagalli, you dumbass. Why the hell would he ask you to do that?"
She regained her composure and replied "Um... you know I don't like dresses. And where are we going anyway?"
Kira gave a soft smile and said " I'll tell you later, promise. Just trust me ok?"
"Alright, but I have no idea what's going on in that head of yours" Cagalli responded.
Cagalli then told Kira to relax in her office while she went to take a shower in her palace bathroom, just down the hall connected to her bedroom.
Cagalli then proceeded to the bathroom.
AN: Ok wow! Did that in about two hours!
So, after like 4 years I'm starting to write again, thankfully. Don't worry I have another chapter planned. So favorite or REVIEW! It really does help a lot.
-Thanks!
