Author's notes: I'm back!!!
I has been a few months since I last updated anything at all! Why? The big S and E. SCHOOL and EXAMS. Finally they are over! School sucks and Exams are evil.
I hope I can update my stories and post new ones. I also hope that I can write as much as possible in this holidays so that I can post the stories now and then when my school term starts. However, another problem surfaces. My computer seems to be dying soon. Which is bad. I hope everything would be ok once I reformat it, but there's a great deal to do... (sigh)
Anyway, this fic would have 2 stories in it. One is revolving around Cagalli and the other around Athrun.
Enjoy this fic and please review!

I Love Him
"Cagalli!" Kira shouted from the door. "I'm going out now! If you are hungry you can make some sandwiches. There is some lettuce leftover in the fridge. Take care of Athrun for me. Bye!" With that, Kira sprinted out of the house.
"What theā¦Kira!" Cagalli screamed, only to hear the latch of the door. "Kira!" she fumed. He would never know what would happen to him when he gets home.
"He happily goes out on a date with Lacus and leaves me alone at home to do everything!" Cagalli mumbled indignantly to herself. "Kira, you better pray I do not commit homicide when you return!"
Cagalli wanted to stomp her way upstairs, but thinking of the innocent Athrun sleeping in Kira's room, she banished the thought. Kira was the one who should endure the punishment, not Athrun. As quietly as she could, she manoeuvred her way up the stairs all the way to Kira's room.
Kira and Athrun had been working on an important project for a few days. They had spent sleepless nights and countless weary hours working non-stop on it. It had finally been completed yesterday night and the two teenagers put their heads down for a long-awaited peaceful slumber which evaded them all week. Cagalli did not know how, but Kira had somehow contacted Lacus for a date today and regained enough energy to go on it. Plus, he didn't seem sleep-deprived at all. She wondered if her twin brother was actually some kind of alien or man-made A.I. that seemed human-like. Athrun was a different case. The moment they had finished the project, his head immediately dropped to the pillow and he drifted into a deep sleep, catching up on the rest that his body had been seriously lacking the entire week.
Cagalli knocked on Kira's room door gently. "Athrun, are you awake?" she called out as she slowly opened the door.
No answer came from the occupant and Cagalli could see why. Athrun was still in bed, with his eyes closed and blankets over him. He showed no signs of getting up.
"It's natural." Cagalli thought. "He had been working so hard this week. It is understandable that he is so tired."
As silently as she could, Cagalli made her way to Athrun's bedside. Somehow or other, he was sleeping on Kira's bed and Kira was sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Cagalli gave a light chuckle. It seems that Athrun was so weary until he plopped himself on the bed before Kira could even respond!
Cagalli knelt down beside Athrun, he elbows propped up on the bed. She studied the blue-haired young man.
"So this is the hottest guy of our school!" Cagalli giggled inwardly as she looked at Athrun who was sleeping like a baby.
Cagalli continued to gaze at Athrun. She felt as if she was seeing another side of him. She was glad to be able to share this space and air with him alone, even if he is asleep. She reached a hand out and began to stroke his blue hair absent-mindedly.
"What am I doing!" Cagalli thought as she realised what she was doing and quickly retracted her hand, face flushed. Her breathing began to accelerate and her heart was pumping wildly. Her gaze returned to Athrun who was still sleeping soundly, totally oblivious of the inner turmoil she just underwent. Her gaze was soft, with a certain longing embedded in it.
Cagalli hated to admit it, refused to admit it, and did not want to acknowledge it. She detested being classified in the same block as those fangirls in school. She had asked herself the question a thousand times, a million times, and they all arrived at the same answer: she loves Athrun.
Cagalli was in love with the school's heartthrob. She didn't know when it started, but soon she was experiencing emotions she never thought she would experience with him. The hot blushes, the wildly palpitating heart, she never expected to experience all this with Athrun. She tried not to think about him, but failed miserably. Images of his emerald eyes and wide smile filled her mind every single day. She knew it was not just his looks which captured her heart, but also his kind character.
Cagalli did not know if she should confess to Athrun her feelings. He was the most popular boy in school. She was only the twin sister of his best friend. She was not exceptionally pretty or well-endowed. She was also not elegant or very talented. She was just a normal girl; a tomboy to be exact. He would never fall in love with a girl like her. Athrun was also a very good friend to her. Cagalli was afraid that her confession would break the delicate balance between them and foil the relationship they had built up.
Cagalli leaned closer to Athrun, capturing his image in her mind again and again. She had fallen deeply in love for him, although he might not know it. She leaned closer and closer to him, and at that moment, their lips touched. Cagalli gave him a light kiss before pulling away. This was probably the only time she had the courage to show her affections for him. She sat in the room for a while, silently watching the man who had stolen her heart.
