Ice Shower

Morning sunlight poured through the open window, filtered by the pale curtains. A silky silhoutte of pink and orange.

Athrun and Cagalli had slept through the night free of unwanted disterbances, and now lay snuggled together on the couch.

Sometime after they had fallen asleep Athrun's right hand had somehow worked its way under the blonds shirt so it lay splayed across her stomach. Cagalli's left hand had worked its way back so it was tangled in azure hair and her nose was burried deep in the juncture of Athrun's neck and shoulder.

Shiho had spotted the two early in the morning and had taken more pictures, they were strangely similar to the last ones.

She was now waiting for just the right moment to spring a chilly attack on the two. She'd spent fifteen minutes finding and filling up every ice tray that looked like it would do the job that she wanted them to. They were now frozen and she was waiting for Kira to wake up.

It was just past six O'clock when Kira stumbled into the kitchen looking for the drink he allways had at this time of the morning. Shiho leaned against the door frame.

"Do you want to get back at Athrun for yesterday morning?. Kira looked confused, dazed.

"Huh?". His eyebrows pushed together.

"For taking your stuff, and then for dumping dirty clothes on you?. She raised her eyebrows questioningly.

"What exactly did you have in mind?".

Shiho gestured him to come closer to her, she put a lean but strong arm around his shoulders and whispered her plan in his ear. A wicked smile crept across his lips.

Lacus opened her eyes, turning over she closed them again, groping into the darkness for kira. She opened her eyes again, his side of the bed was still warm but he wasn't there. In the darkness she could hear the muffled murmer of people talking.

She pushed the covers aside and moved to the door, opening it a crack. The voices were learer but still not enough to understand what they were saying. Stepping into the hallway, she walked towards the illuminated livingroom.

The first thing she noticed was that Kira and Shiho were postitioned at either end of the couch grinning evily at each other. The second thing she noticed was that Shiho had a bucket poised ubove her shouders and Kira had a camera held in his hands.

"One, two, three", They whispered in unison before the tingling sound of falling ice filled the room. Whatever was on the couch jumped and squeeled. It was obvious that they were unsuspecting victims.

Lacus gasped, "Kira!". Her hands were on her hips but when he looked at her he was trying to suppress his laughter.

Stellar jumped, startled, she fell out of bed. She stumbled to her feet and down the hall to see a girl with dirty blond hair dancing across the room. Athrun was fussing over her.

Stellar was confused as to why Shiho and Kira were laughing and falling all over each other. Her eyes locked with Lacus's, she looked very unimpressed. Obviously she'd missed something.

"Are you alright?"., Athrun looked flustered, unsure of where to put his hands. Or if they should even go anywhere.

Shiho had begun to clean up the ice that had skattered on the floor before it could melt. Athrun hugged the blond close, she just glared at Shiho from the safety of Athrun's side.

"Yeah", Stellar could hear the hidden anger in the other girls voice. Athrun seemed satisfied.

"Was that really needed?", Athrun's tone was hard when he spoke to the others.

"No, but it was entertaining, and you two are picture perfect". Shiho snickered to herself.

Athrun and Cagalli left the others to sober themselves up, he took Cagalli to his room. He locked the door.

Sitting on his bed he half burried his hand in his hand. Cagalli rested against the door.

"I'm sorry about that". He started.

"About what?".

"What Shiho did, I shouldn't have let us fall asleep on the couch like that".

"Don't worry about it", She glanced nervously at the clock. "I've got to get going go".

"Your...leaving?", He frowned, voice strained.

"Yeah I really have alot I have to do today".

"Will you call me, or can I call you". He was desperate.

"I can call you, yeah. I threw my phone off the bridge the other day".

He half smiled, "Why?"

"It was annoying me, or rather Shinn was. I swear half the time I want to strangle him". Athrun laughed at that.

"Here", Cagalli gave him a strange look. "My number?".

"Oh, thanks", Cagalli unlocked the door sneaking around the others to the front door. Athrun closed it behind them.

"You will call me right?". He seemed unsure

"Yes".

"And I will see you again?".

"Why wouldn't you?". Cagalli rolled her eyes.

"I...just really like you...I don't want you to walk away from me without notice". He didn't tell her about the deal they had made with the Lord and Lady.

Cagalli laughed, a loud ringing sound. "you think I can just walk out of your life?".

"Can you?". He whispered, he didn't know what humans were capable of anymore. She shook her head.

When she left Athrun watched her dissappear around the corner. He was anxious and nervous. Would she really call him?

How was it, have I gotten a little rusty or is it better? Im just dying to know. Please review!!
