People say we're twins. Athrun says we're twins. Murrue and the crew says we're twins. Almost everyone we know say we're twins. But no matter what I hear them say, I still cannot call you my sister.

I didn't know why before. Maybe it's because everything just happened too fast for me. Maybe it's because you haven't called me brother or bro yet. Or maybe it's because I already learned to love you.

But, people would think otherwise wouldn't they?. They'd say it can never be us because we're family.

Before I'd always ask myself why? I keep asking myself that question every night before I sleep and I see our picture on my desk. Why? Why? WHY?

The fact that you being my sister alone drives me nuts already but when I ask myself, "Why can't I call you sister?" doubles the pressure on me. Everything is just a blur to me when the topic is about us.

I had a chat with Athrun weeks before. I called him up in the middle of the night to talk to him…

ringing

"Hello?"

"Athrun?"

"Kira? Do you know what time it is?"

"Yes, I know and I'm sorry for calling you at such a time"

"Is it important?"
"Yes, I believe so."

"Is it so important that you have to call me at 2:45 A.M.?

"…"

"Okay, what is this about?"

"It's about… me and cagalli."

"Hm? What's wrong between you two? You seem to get along just fine."

"Yes, I know but something's bothering me."
"What?"

"This whole twin thing."

"Oh, I get it."
"No, you don't. No matter what I do, I just can't call her my sister. Even in my thoughts I can't do it. It's driving me nuts these past days."

"Your problem is simple, Kira."

"How?

"Easy. You just can't accept her as your sister."

"What? Then why?"

"You should know. Anyway, I still have some things to do later in the morning. Night."

"Ahtrun wai-"

The phone hung up.

That conversation of ours made me think even more about us. Why would Athrun say such a thing?

"Easy. You just can't accept her as your sister."

After that, I thought. I kept thinking that I realized that the only things that I do in a day was to take a bath, eat, think, eat, and sleep. But somehow, all those thinking paid off. Now I know why. Why I can't accept you as my sister.

It's because I've already accepted you as my lover.

Now that I look at you sleeping beside me tonight, everything became truly clear for me. I kiss you right now as you sleep and you smile for me. You couldn't be anymore perfect in my eyes. You're beautiful. The words just escape my lips.

"I love you… Cagalli."
