Hey everyone! Three years later and I'm finally making the sequel! I have to apologize for the extreme delay, to be honest, the reason that I stopped writing was because I lost interest in the series and thus had a major case of writer's block but now I have rekindled my love for Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny and Asucaga so I'm ready to start writing but I only have two chapters in my head and I'm still arguing with myself whether to push thru with my idea for the third chapter but I'll get there when I get there. :)
One last thing though, I decided to take off from the last chapter the other story which is basically Cagalli running after Athrun. I know it's weird and all but hey I have to start somewhere. Anyway, I'll stop blabbing now, on to the story!
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Kira watched as his sister ran after his best friend. "I'd better find a hiding place and stay for a couple of hours or days." He sighed to himself.
"Err, hey Kira? Shouldn't we do something? I'm not concern or anything but you know... Cagalli might kill him." Shinn asked.
"Listen Shinn, you're young and you have a lot to learn and since I am older than you, I find that it is my duty to pass on a valuable piece of advice that will save you a lot of grief and trouble." Kira paused for dramatic effect and Shinn raised an eyebrow.
"When Cagalli gets pissed off at someone, don't bother helping, don't bother saying anything, just run and don't look back."
"But doesn't that seem cowardly? Are you a coward?" Shinn challenged.
"When it comes to my sister's temper, yes. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to stay away from the corridors just in case Athrun gets away and she comes after me instead." And with that Kira ran off.
"Cagalli! Wait! Can't we talk about this? Be sensible?" Athrun shouted frantically as he ran as fast as he could from the fiery blonde.
"Shut up, Zala! Just wait till I get my hands on you!" She ran faster and within a few minutes, she was able to tackle Athrun to the ground.
THUMP!
Athrun scrambled to get up but she managed to pull him down. The two continued to fight. Athrun fought to prevent himself from getting hurt and Cagalli to hurt Athrun, until Athrun used whatever he had left in him to pin Cagalli to the ground. She struggled against him but he was stronger, she knew there was no point but she didn't want to give up.
"Cagalli" Athrun began. "Please stop it." She ignored him an continued.
"Cagalli."
"Cagalli."
"Damn it, Cagalli! Would you stop before you get hurt?" He shouted at her. She looked at him in shock. He sighed. She glared. "What the hell is you're problem, Zala? First you eavesdrop, then you pin me to the ground, then you shout at me? How dare you! Get the hell off me!"
Silence.
"Why did you do that Athrun? Don't you trust?" She asked sadly. He winced. He hated it when she said his name like that.
"Cagalli, no. Of course, I do. I swear! It's just that..."
"Just what?"
"Just.. I.."
"Fine! Don't tell me! See if I care!" She screamed at him.
"I don't want to lose you okay! I've lost you once and that was the hardest thing I ever had to endure! Harder than losing Nicol, or my father even... even my mother." Athrun softened his voice as he looked at her eyes. "The thought of you slipping away from me is just too much. I was a fool. I shouldn't have left you. I should have protected you especially during that stupid wedding." He rested his forehead on hers. "I love so much, more that you'll ever know. Please, Cagalli will you accept my apology?"
"Athrun.."
"Yes?" He whispered in her ear.
"You really know how to make a girl swoon." He laughed and she smiled. "And apology accepted, just don't do it again okay?" He beamed at her as he helped her up.
"One last thing..." she brought her hands to his face. Athrun shivered at the feeling but he wrapped his arms around her waist. "I love you too, so much." With that, she closed her eyes and kissed him on the lips. He drew her nearer, savouring ever moment. They finally pulled away. Cagalli rested her head on his chest and he rested his head in his hair. Nobody said anything. They were just enjoying this time they had with each other.
"Yo! Cags! Murrue wants to see you down at the – oh—was I interrupting something?" Dearka starred at the pair.
"Yeah, nice timing." Athrun answered. Dearka grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, but there's a couple of things that Murrue wanted to discuss."
"It's fine Dearka, just give me a minute." Cagalli replied.
"Sure, thing." He saluted at her and walked off.
She turned to face Athrun who had an annoyed look on his face. She laughed and kissed his pouting lips. "Don't worry, I promise I'll wrap whatever it is quick and then I'll come looking for you alright?" He smiled and kissed her back.
When they parted he said. "Fine but don't take too long." She giggled. "I won't, promise." He grinned at her. "See you later?"
"Later." He replied.
"Ohh and Athrun?" She turned to face him.
"Yeah?"
"You look adorable when you pout." She flashed him a smile and he turned away and blushed.
She giggled again. "Bye now."
"Right, bye." He waved weakly at her. The blush still on his cheeks, when she was out of sight he sighed. "I hope those meetings don't become a daily thing." With that he went off to find something to keep him busy while waiting for Cagalli to return.
- 2 and half hours later-
A frantic Cagalli was banging on her brother's door screaming at him to open up. A few seconds later, the door opened to reveal a nervous looking Kira.
"Hey sis? How you - "
"Have you seen Athrun?"
"Athrun?" Kira said, confused. "No, why?"
"I told him I'll catch up with him later but I can't find him! I checked everywhere! The deck, the kitchens, every single corridor but he's not there!"
"Have you checked his room?"
"His what?" Cagalli blinked at him like the word was a new concept.
"You know room, much like mine except maybe neater?"
"Right! Thanks Kira!" She ran off but Kira grabbed her wrist and pulled her back in.
"Cagalli about this morning, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have agreed to invade your privacy like that." Kira said sincerely.
"No need to apologize. To be honest, I should be thanking you. He told me something that you know.. anyway it meant a lot to me."
"Really?" He smiled softly at her. "Well, I'm glad."
"For real?" She raised an eyebrow. "No overprotective brother mode?"
He laughed. "Of course I'll still go to overprotective brother mode but not right now. I truly am glad that you finally are. You deserve to be happy."
"Thanks, Kira. That means a lot." She gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Go on. He's probably wondering where you are too."
She smiled and ran off.
"Athrun, I swear, you better not hurt her." He yawned and entered his room, the door closing behind him.
Water could be heard from inside the bathroom. It stopped and a man with midnight blue hair exited, pulling one towel around his waist and another to dry his hair. He opened the door and steam escaped with him. He walked towards his bed to pick up his jacket that he threw down awhile ago due to annoyance.
Suddenly a flash of blonde hair could be seen. He felt himself being pulled before falling on top of the person who ran in. He slowly opened his eyes to see
"Cagalli?
She opened hers before she screamed.
"OH MY GOD! Athrun! Why are you wet!"
He scrambled off her and she quickly jumped off and faced the wall. Both of their cheeks were flaming red.
"I'm sorry! I was in the shower! I didn't expect you to come in!"
"It doesn't matter! Just put something one!"
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! I can't believe that just happened! Thank God he had a towel on! But damn! He's hot! What the? Oh no! You again! Seriously? You're making me sound like a pervert or something of that sort. C'mon! It's not like he can hear you! You have to admit! That guy definitely has the body! Yeah, you're right and his abs are to die for! Thought so (smirk)! Did I just say that? Ahh! Get away from me!"
"Cagalli? I'm done, you can turn around now."
That's the end, for now at least. I'll probably upload in around three weeks, I know, it's kind of long but I have exams and anyway after those three weeks i'll be able to upload a lot faster since I'll be having a three week break! Yeah! Please review!
