Hello Everyone, firstly, thank you all for reviewing. I am really happy you guys found it interesting :)
I know Cagalli, and everyone else, is out of character, and i sincerely apologize for that.
This is a asucaga fanfic - I just planned a lot of twists.
Please if you have a question, don't hesitate to ask. And as for Cagalli being a cheerleader - don't worry, all will work out :)
Hope you guys enjoy chapter 2

Chapter 2: Seduction
"Athrun, can you tell me which reproductive organ produces testosterone?" Miss Eileen Canaver - who taught biology - asked the blue-haired, young man who sat in back of class, chatting with his friends: Dearka Elsman, Yzak Joule and - to Cagalli's dismay - Kira Yamato.
"My balls, Miss Eileen." Athrun replied cockily, as he rested his feet upon the mahogany-wood desk. He glimpsed in Cagalli's direction, hoping she would deliver a witty comment to his answer, but to his disappointment she simply shook her head - which made her long hair which was slightly curled at the ends sway from side-to-side.
"Miss Canaver, I do believe what Athrun meant to say was -" Kira started, defending his best friend when he saw the teacher burning with indignation, "- the reproductive organ responsible is the testes."
"Oh, well, quite right." The teacher said, turning to continue writing on the blackboard - which was situated in the front of the classroom.
"Miriallia, I swear, if it has tires or testicles, it's going to give you trouble." Cagalli whispered to her good friend Miriallia Haw. Cagalli, Miriallia along with Lacus have been best friends ever since they met in kindergarten at the age of four.
"So I guess your Audi is still giving problems." Miriallia replied teasingly, laughing hysterically at her best friend's comment.
"Yes, it is." The golden-haired girl answered sighing, packing up her books - for the bell rang that very moment. "So are you going to Sting's party tonight?"
The tequila burned her throat as she took one shot after the other. Cagalli wasn't fond of alcohol but tonight was an exception; all she wanted to do was forget. More specifically, she wanted to forget him and how he caressed her waist only moments ago.
Cagalli wore an awfully short, tight-fitted, Tommy Hilfiger dress - which she received as a gift from the illustrious designer himself. It was white, and she looked more like an angel than ever - well, a shockingly alluring angel.
"I would take it easy, if I were you."
That voice. Oh, how she loathed that infuriating, yet mind-blowing, voice. Athrun Zala was standing unnervingly close behind her, his breath prickling her neck with every word he spoke. Cagallina Clyne was petrified because for some anomalous reason her body felt numb and electrified simultaneously.
"Go fuck yourself, Zala!" Cagalli snarled hotly, stumbling a bit as she tried to flee from his presence. Partly because of her towering, black patent-leather Jimmy Choo stilettos but mostly due to her large amount of alcohol intake.
"I'd rather be fucking myself then fucking you." Athrun lied, grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards the guest bathroom which was located in the undisturbed west wing of the Oakley's manor. He couldn't let people see her in this state.
"Where's Kira?" Cagalli asked, becoming aware that her surroundings have changed. Athrun could smell the tempting tequila tang as she spoke, and it took him a great deal of self-control not to kiss her parted, pinkish lips. "Where am I?"
"Kira took Lacus home. She wasn't enjoying the party." Athrun said as he stood, leaning back against the doorjamb - his muscular arms folded across his chest. Cagalli was sitting on the bath's edge, concentrating not to tumble over.
"Thank you." Cagalli whispered - so softly that Athrun almost didn't hear it. He was completely and utterly shocked by this. "Thank you for taking me away from the party, I would have shattered my own reputation if it wasn't for you."
"No problem." Athrun replied coolly, sauntering towards where she was sitting. He went down on his knees, taking her petite hands within his own. "I can't seem to figure you out. I never could." - and here a sad smile played on his lips - "You're just as beautiful as the first day I met you, though your hair seemed to grew over our years apart."
"Athrun, I…" Cagalli tired, but was silenced when Athrun brought his finger to her lips.
"I'm sorry for the way I've acted lately, but try to understand that when I transferred to Minerva Academy, I didn't anticipate the fact that you might have moved on." He said, bringing her hand to his cheek.
"I'm sorry, Athrun. I need to go." Cagalli stated emotionlessly, making her way towards the door that leaded into the west wing's lounge but before she was completely out of sight, she stopped and looked over her tanned shoulder. "Please, don't tell Kira about what happened between us." - and here her eyes started to brim with tears - "I love him. And I would hate to let a simple childhood crush ruin our relationship."
'Why does my head hurt so badly?' Cagalli thought as she snuggled the pillow on which her head rested, 'And why does my pillow smell so differently. Mana always washes the bedding with lily-scented washing powder.
As Cagalli flickered open her eyes, she noted that she wasn't in her cloud-white-walled bedroom with the chandelier dangling from its ceiling. She was in the hospital.
To her left Kira, Lacus and Athrun sat, sleeping in there visitor-chairs but what really caught her attention was Kira's hand resting gently upon Lacus arm in an affectionate manner. Cagalli knew Lacus and Kira have been good friends for a very long period of time, but they have never been intimate like this before.
Then she glimpsed in Athrun's direction. 'God, he's handsome.' was all that came to her mind. He was at least 6 feet - much taller than she remembered him - and had a muscular body which made every girl in her school weak in the knees. His had hair had darkened, but his eyes were the same: emerald.
"Cagalli? Oh thank the heavens." Lacus said, as she awoke from her slumber. "I was so worried!"
"Lacus, what happened?" Cagalli asked for she could not remember what occurred the previous night at Sting's party.
"You fell from the first floor's balcony into the swimming pool but hit head your head quite hard." Lacus answered forlornly, her pure sapphire-eyes brimming with tears, "Athrun, over there -" - and here she pointed her porcelain-white, slender finger in his direction - "- saved you."
"Lacus, I'm not that clumsy -" Cagalli said stubbornly but before she could continue the nurse, Aisha Waltfeld, entered the room.
"Well, Miss Clyne, you lost quite some blood due to hitting your head, but thankfully your brother was a perfect match to serve as a donor." Aisha said as she fixed her eyes upon the clipboard she held in her hand.
"Brother?" Cagalli asked surprised, "I don't have a brother."
"Well according to Doctor Waltfeld's test results he supplied me, your DNA and a young man by the name of Kira Yamato's DNA, is similar - which can only mean you are blood related."
Both Cagalli and Lacus were stunned and gaped at the still sleeping handsome, brown-haired lad. 'My boyfriend is my brother?" Cagalli thought to herself, her eyes wide with shock. "Oh my god, I'm dating my brother!'
Thank you everyone for reading. I really appreciate it :)
