I fell in love with my best friend

Freyris

A/n: Gaaah, sorry if it took a long time to update or was it in the my other story I'm getting confused. I'm actually having the longest writers block right ever since I started making fics again. I kinda got stuck in between the two stories and I am not sure about what's going to happen. I had a lot of stuffs happening in real life so all my ideas and plans were kinda thrown aside and I'm having a hard time getting back on track T_T Buuuut! I'm trying my best to give you guys a good story.

Anyway, last chapter was a little bit uneventful and not much of good chapter...the only thing eventful there was AsuCaga arguing. This chapter will be a better one. I promise! Also forgive me I had a lot of errors last chapter. I was obviously not feeling well thus the poor written chapter.

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN GS/D, SUNDRISE AND BANDAI


"Come sit closer,Lacus" Lacus nodded and snuggled closer to her boyfriend as they watched some weird mushy movie in their living room.

"Gustave is so romantic don't you think Kira?" Lacus asked she rested her head on Kira's chest.

Kira chuckled and kissed the top of Lacus head and held her hand that was playing on his chest and started placing soft kisses on the back of her palms "I guess." He replied "But I can be more romantic La-"

"EWW GUYS GET A ROOM"

The cuddling couple looked up to see Cagalli smirking on the door as she held a small bouquet of flowers in her hands.

"Way to ruin our moment sis" Kira grumbled as he separated himself from Lacus and sat properly on the couch. "So...hows your date?" he asked eyeing the flowers as if it had a bomb hidden in it.

"There's no bomb in it Kira" Cagalli scolded lightly as she read Kiras mind. They are twins for a reason afterall. "Ahmed wouldn't kill you guys off with a bomb planted in a flower bouquet Kira. He isn't a bad guy and would you please stop glaring at the poor flowers."

"Heey! It was just a joke alright. Sheesh!"He replied in defense as Lacus slipped away from him and the couch and walked to Cagalli to admire the flowers.

"These are a very lovely roses, Cagalli!" Lacus grinned as Cagalli lightly blushed. "I'll go get a vase so you can put these in it"

The blonde smiled appreciatively at her and placed the flowers down on the counter.

"So where's your best friend?" Her twin asked as threw his feet on the table and switching channels. Usually they were always together. As Lenore, Athrun's mother would describe the two of them, they were like joined by the hip. Where one goes, the other follows.

"Beats me" Cagalli shrugged sounding awfully uninterested in the topic. "I've been quite busy these past few days to even care where he is right now". Man, talk about stingy and cold.

Her pink haired friend watched her curiously and placed the crystal vase beside the bouquet. "Did you guys get into a fight in History?"

Cagalli rolled her eyes and didn't bother to answer the question instead she changed the topic. "Where's mom?"

"Chatting with Mrs. Zala" Kira said as he stopped in a cartoon channel "Ohhh... Spongebob!" he chirped happily like a child.


"Are you sure you're skipping classes today? It's very unlike you to cut Cagalli" Lacus gave her a disapproving look.

Cagalli smiled weakly and nodded her head as her pink haired friend sat down beside her on the bench. "You're lucky my breaks are always extended "She giggled

"I don't want to see that jerk I used to call my best friend yet. I'm still mad at him" She scowled.

"So care to tell me what happened?"Lacus asked slowly.

The blonde sighed and nodded her head. She started to narrate to Lacus on how Athrun has been insensitive about their friendship the past few days or weeks. And the fact that she felt like she was left out, irritated her the most and Athrun was feigning innocence as if he haven't heard a single word she said. He was some dense-stupid-asshole-best friend for thinking that it would be better if she learned from Meyrin, her club member that he was dating Meyrin rather than Athrun saying it personally to her. She had been always honest with him whereas he was not...in a way.

Cagalli's female friend slash sister(in a way) smiled sympathetically at her, understanding her and patted her on the knee "Maybe Athrun didn't really mean it like that..." She suggested.

"He still wasn't honest with me"

"Cagalli don't be stubborn. Maybe he was actually honest. How about we think about it this way then..."She looked at her, hoping she would understand Athruns reasons whatever it maybe for not telling it personally to her. "Maybe Athrun was actually going to tell you but his girlfriend thinks she could tell it to you instead since you two are always together in the club"

"If thats the case, he shouldn't have let her. I still want to hear it from him and if me and Meyrin are in the same club. Well, Athrun and I are neighbors. Which one is closer?" She raised a brow and crossed her arms on her chest. In all honesty, Cagalli did have a point. Athrun could always run across the street, bang on her door and tell her he finally got himself a girlfriend but instead he opted to let his little red head girlfriend to do it...but it never happened because Shiho had to open her mouth and spoil everything.

Yeah, the world got fucked up.

Lacus Clyne sighed in defeat. There was no way in getting around Cagalli. "Cagalli...why are you the exact opposite of Kira"

"Heeey!"

She giggled and held one of Cagalli's hands "Don't worry, You guys well get back together I'm sure"

Cagalli snorted "Get back? Lacus that awfully sounds like we're going out"

"I mean...Get back in being friends, you know" She looked at her with a meaningful smile. "By the way why didn't you guys get together?"

"You mean... Together-Together?Like a couple?" Cagalli asked and gave her a small smile. "That's Impossible."

Her pink haired friends brow furrowed and looked at Cagalli waiting for her to answer her unspoken question of why not which was completely written all over her face.

The young blonde stretched her feet a little as she looked up in the sky.

"I like you Cagalli..."

"...I...like you too Athrun"

Young Cagalli and Athrun stared at each other and laughed awkwardly as they sat on the field together.

"Athrun"

"Cagalli" they both said in unison and bursted out laughing again this time less awkward position.

"This is going to be weird if we start going out." Athrun smiled and messed Cagalli's hair. Cagalli swatted his hands of her unruly blonde hair and giggled.

"Yeah...but do you think it's better that we should stay as best friends?" Cagalli suggested as she lay on the grass. "I mean at least I was able to get this feeling off my chest already and say it" she blushed lightly.

Athrun looked down on her for a few seconds stupefied as he tried to absorbed everything. Suddenly, a grin flashed across his face. "Probably"

"So, is this the part where we friendzone each other now?" She laughed as Athrun lay beside her on the grass

The young blue haired boy chuckled and nodded his head "It's better if we stay friends, Cagalli"

"Deal"

"Nothing's going to change between us then? Still best friends?"

"Yeah,Best Friend"Cagalli winked at him and threw a few strand of grass she had pulled out from the ground at Athrun.

"Heey!"

Lacus bursted out laughing and she clutched her stomach. "Y-You guys... f-friendzone each other?"

"Kinda?" Cagalli shrugged her shoulder and looked at Laucs gaping at her. "What?"

"You two..."She sighed and looked at her incredulously "are crazy!" Lacus said "I mean, come on Athrun is a great guy. He has the looks and brains and he's very kind! He's like your modern day Prince Charming and here you are brushing him off and saying you guys are better off friends than lovers?"

"Heey! It's true! That's just how the way we wanted it to be" Cagalli cried in defense "Friends!"

"So...friends with benefits then?" Lacus asked innocently while Cagalli suddenly flustered.

"B-benefits?"Cagalli stuttered, her amber eyes widened. "What do you mean by that?! We are just friends. Best friends and no b-benefits!" She began to stammer "Lacus does Kira even know you have the tendency to think of weird stuffs like this?!"

Lacus shook her head "Cagalli I was just kidding. Why are you all worked up and turning red?" She teased her blonde friend.

"This is your fault!" The blonde accused her as she looked down on her lap to hide her blush. "We are not friends with benefits or anything like that! Just friends! "

"Alright alright I got you" Lacus chuckled letting the topic drop...for now and patted her on the back "Then...just end this little childish arguments with him and be a best friend. Come on"

"but"

"Cagalli, talk to him. You both have some talking to do. At least save your more than 10 years of friendship. I don't think you'd like to end everything because of a silly itsy bitsy miscommunication now would you?"

Cagalli pondered on the words for a few seconds and bit her lower lip before she sighed in defeat. "Alright"


"Coffee my love, so sweeeeet.. my coffee is the best in the whole wide wor-oh" The middle age professor abruptly stopped his mini live concert along the hallway as soon as he saw a blonde student walking towards him.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear anything Mr. Waltfeld" The blonde tried to keep a straight face and bit her lower lip.

"What! Don't laugh at me now young lady." He raised a brow at her.

Cagalli wasn't able to hold back any longer and broke into fits of laughter. "I am sorry!" She gasped and laughed "It's just..."

"Alright! alright! I know! Cut me some slack! I know I'm not the best singer-composer Hibiki now shut up before I fail you" He threatened.

"You wouldn't"

"I could tell you failed because of misconduct" He joked.

"I don't believe you Mr. Waltfeld" Cagalli grinned "Don't worry your little concert is safe with me but if you fail me I'm telling Professor Aisha"

"You are one little sneaky devil, Hibiki" Andrew Waltfeld sighed and rubbed the back of his head "Fine. It's a secret between us. By the way, I don't know why you were absent in class earlier but here I had to return this to you, Zala didn't go to class either but left this on my desk" He pulled out the folder tucked under his arms and gave it to her. "You and Zala make up a pretty good team"

"What?" She blinked several times and opened the folder. "But I..."

It was the report Andrew had asked the previous day. She remembered she left Athrun without even answering him on whether they'd work on the report together or ditched him because she was too angry with him and she assumed he looked for another partner but no...

The report had both of their names on it.

Submitted by: Athrun Zala and Cagalli Hibiki.

A pang of guilt suddenly surged across her pit. She took credit of what Athrun should be enjoying alone. SHe didn't deserve a grade of A on a report she didn't even do.

"Mr. Waltfeld I-"She was about to complain and tell him the truth when he cut her off and answered the call on his phone.

"Yes, baby lov-I mean Ms. Aisha...no I wasn't calling you baby love! Of course not"

She watch him walk away, completely forgeting about her and exited the hallway down to the stairs at the end as he talked to Aisha. One of the professors in the campus that he was trying to hit on.

"..didn't do anything here" She mumbled as her eyes dropped down on the folder.

"...Zala didn't go to class either but left this on my desk

Cagalli's eyes widened as she recall Andrew's words earlier and found herself running and searching for Athrun. If he wasn't in class earlier as well then maybe he was actually avoiding her too? She shook her head maybe their fight had escalated to another level and they were really avoiding each other.

Realizing he wasn't around the school at all she decided to leave and look for him outside of the campus. Specifically, his house.

"Aunt Lenoreee" Cagalli called as she jogged towards her bestfriends house.

The middle aged blue haired woman who was tending to her tulips in the front garden stood up smiled warmly at her and hugged her "Darling, what's wrong?"

"Is Athrun here?"

Lenore shook her head" He went home early to rest and left a couple of minutes ago but he didn't say where he was going. I thought he was going to fetch you or something you know" She said sounding hopeful at the end of her sentence.

"I see.." Cagalli nodded her head "Umm.. I need to look for him ..I have something to ask him about umm.. our project, yeah" She lied as she tried dismissing herself from Lenore before she could start telling her about how Athrun would have been a better boyfriend. It has been always like that. Lenore was always openly telling her that she wanted Cagalli to be her daughter in law in the future but Cagalli would always brush it off. She kissed Leonor on the cheek and started looking for her male best friend.

The searching blonde was slowly growing impaient and tired. Athrun wasn't in their campus, house or even in the playground where they used to play around. So where was he?

"Athrun you asshole! Where are youu! "She screamed out of irritation "You idiot! You dense stupid hamster brain best fr-"

"Are you done insulting your awesome bestfriend?" A voice cut her off.

Cagalli turned around and immediately blush in embarassment. Behind her stood Athrun holding a can of softdrink and a plastic bag of chips.

"Oopps" She sheepishly grinned "WHERE WERE YOU?!"

Athrun lightly chuckled and stretched out his hand with the plastic bag towards her "I was at the Happy Mart reading some adult magazines" He joked

Cagalli gave him a disgusted look. He suddenly laughed "I was just kidding Cagalli!"

"You're really gross"

"I'm not! Do you really think I read stuffs like that? Sheesh! Cagalli you know me better than that. " He pretended to sound hurt and placed a hand on his chest. "I was just buying some meat bun and a few snacks alright!..Here..."

"huh?"

"It's your favorite chips" He said flatly.

"Oh" the blonde eyes fell on the plastic bag and reached for it. "Thanks.."

"Sooo...am I forgiven?" He asked slowly

"What?"

Athrun snorted and bent down a little to flick her nose "You keep saying one word. What happened? Awww, Cat got your tongue?" He teased.

"SHUT UP! I TOLD YOU TO STOP DOING THAT" She screamed as she rubbed her nose.

"That's better" He laughed "Look, I'm sorry for not telling you about Meyrin and I..."

Cagalli looked up to meet his gaze and sighed. "Me too..I'm sorry for snapping at you."

"I deserved that. It kinda made me realize stuffs" He chuckled and flicked her nose again cause him to get slapped on the shoulder.

"Cut it out!" She screamed. "Stuffs?" She asked returning back to the topic.

"I should have been more open to you since you are my best friend and I've been ditching Kira and Lacus as well. I shouldn't have let Meyrin tell. I feel like an ass right now.."

"Well you are!" Cagalli snapped back causing Athrun to get startled and she laughed.

"Sorry"

"Apology Accepted" She grinned at him

"So we're good?"

"Good" Athrun smiled at her response and messed her hair. "Stop it" She swatted his hand off her hair and stuck her tongue out at him. "You're lucky I can't really stand to stay mad at my best friend."

Athrun nodded and pinched her nose. "Well then, thank you best friend." He chuckled "I can't stay put when you're mad at me anyway"

Cagalli smiled.

"Come here and give me a reconciliation hug?" Athrun said smiling a little. Cagalli sighed and stepped forward to give him a friendly-I-forgive-you-hug. Athrun wrapped his hand around her tiny frame and patted her head.

Arriving home an hour later, Lenore felt relieved to see the two of them talking to each other and arguing about what movie to watch. It was actually quite sometime since Cagalli last stayed in their house. Usually, Athrun was in Hibiki's residence. It made her heart swell to look at how cute her son would mess Cagalli's hair and pat it. She always adored Cagalli. She was like the daughter she never had.

"Dinner will be ready in a few kids" she said

"We are not kids anymore!"They yelled in chorus and then laughed.

"Jinx!" They laughed as they said the same thing at the same time again.

"Oh by the way, we're going to the amusement park this weekend. Maybe you, Kira, Lacus and Ahmed would like to come?" Athrun asked as he shoved a handful of chips on his mouth.

Cagalli flicked a chip at him and thought about it. "Well...maybe I can talk to them about it." She said as she leaned on Athrun's shoulder

Athrun nodded and pressed the play button on their remote as they started watching.


Yeey! I hope this chapter did justice. I lacked AsuCaga moments and a bit of KiraLacus moments so I had to squeeze them all in here. Probably more next chapter. And I actually love a mischievous little Lacus. XD I couldn't resist adding a few teasing comments from Lacus. It just seemed perfect if it was her LOL.

Anyway, I hope this writers block do pass. It really sucks.

So tell me about your thoughts for this story on the review below. I'll be waiting ^^
