Chapter title: B.B.I.A - Big Brother in action! (heeh!)

Cagalli yawned as she sat up straight, blinking her eyes. "How long have I've been asleep?" she mumbled.

"Long enough if you ask me," a voice replied derisively.

Cagalli turned to her left, she almost forgotten that Shinn was there.

"Oh…we better go back then," she said, standing up and stretching. Shinn followed suit.

"Do you know how heavy your head was?" he complained.

Cagalli rolled her eyes. "That's because I have a brain, which is something you sorely lacked."

Shinn rolled his eyes at her comments. "Haha…you're hilarious. If you're so smart then how are you going to play against Emirates? In case you didn't know, you're in not much of a disguise."

Cagalli stopped, she never thought about that.

"I don't know," she said at last.

Shinn shook his head, while Cagalli was having a nap, he had a lot of time to think and he realised this rather glaring problem.

"Well, you better think of something fast, the final match is less than three weeks away and no matter how blind or idiotic your ex is, he's bound to recognise you within the court," Shinn told Cagalli as he pulled opened the fire escape door to let Cagalli walked through first.

When Cagalli stepped into the corridor, she was immediately greeted by a loud cry of "Cagalli!"

She whirled around in shock and saw Kira running towards her, his face a picture of relief, but it immediately turned to alarm when he saw Shinn behind her.

'What are you doing with her?" he thundered.

Shinn looked startled as Kira, who looked like a raging bull at the moment, charged at them. Kira pulled Cagalli behind him and stood protectively in front of her.

"Kira, you do know that you just said 'she'," Shinn pointed out in an almost lazy manner.

Kira blinked, in his haste and anger he had let slip Cagalli's identity. He fumbled for a reply.

"I-I did not! I said 'him'!" he retorted angrily "Anyway that's not the point, what did you do to him?"

"Kira…" Cagalli started "Shinn didn't do anything to me."

Kira glanced back, debating whether to believe her.

"I didn't do anything to her," Shinn assured Kira "I'll never beat up a girl." He added with a wry smile.

Kira turned to him, shocked at what he just heard.

"Y-You know?" he said in disbelief.

"Yeah, it turns out that Cagalli's dad and mine go way back," he explained.

"Oh…I see," Kira said as he let the fact that Shinn knew Cagalli's gender sink in.

"Did you tell anyone?" he asked, his eyes narrowing.

"Of course not, do I look like some blabbermouth?" Shinn snorted.

The corners of Kira's mouth twitched.

"Where were you? We were looking everywhere for you?" Kira said to Cagalli.

Cagalli sighed. "I wasn't feeling too good. Shinn found me and cheered me up." Kira's eyebrows rose to a new dangerous height, almost in danger of disappearing into his hairline.

Shinn was comforting Cagalli? It never struck him that Shinn was capable of making anyone happy, as far as he knows if Shinn was involved; it always ends up with someone sporting a black eye. The last being of course Cagalli when Kira intervened to break up the fight.

Wait a minute Kira thought as his face turned positively murderous Shinn beat up my sister!!

"Bloody hell! You hit my sister back then!" he roared as he took a lunge forward and grabbed the front of Shinn's jersey. Shinn looked if anything, frightened as the blood was drained out of his face. There were not many things that could have such an effect on him. The first being the realisation that he had beaten up and got beaten up by a girl, courtesy of Cagalli here. The other one being right now, Kira looked like he was capable of beating the crap out of him.

"I-I didn't know she was a girl back then! I swear! And I'm sorry that I-…wait. Did you just say sister?" Shinn asked, not sure if he's hearing the right thing.

Kira was still glaring furiously at him, his face turning red. "She's my sister so?"

"Since when do you have a sister?" Shinn asked incredulously.

"That's beside the point. The point is that you beat her up!" Kira spat out, his eyes blazing.

"Geez Kira! What has gotten into you? Chill! I don't blame Shinn cause it's not entirely his fault. Ok Kira?" Cagalli said in an attempt to pacify her brother.

Her words did have an effect on Kira as he took a deep calming breath and released Shinn. He guessed that Yunna's words were still echoing in his mind, making him susceptible to flaring up.

"Fine, if Cagalli forgives you then I'll let it go. But next time, I won't be so kind," Kira said with a hint of threat in his words.

Shinn nodded eagerly. "You still haven't answered my question yet. Cagalli is your sister?!" He burst out for the third time.

The twins exchanged exasperated sighs. "It's complicated Shinn," Cagalli replied "You should go back first," she hinted.

Shinn blinked at her and then nodded, getting the hint.

"Don't worry, I won't tell. See you in training," Shinn said as he walked away. He was only gone a few steps when he stopped and turned back to face the twins.

"Cagalli, I think I just found a solution to your problem," Shinn said smirking. Cagalli looked at him questioning.

"Well?" she prompted when Shinn did not continue.

"You will just have to wait and see. Knowing that you and Kira are twins came in handy," Shinn said as he walked away.

Cagalli glared at his retreating figure, she hated being in the dark.

"What is he talking about?" Kira asked. Cagalli shook her head. "Nothing, he's just being a weirdo."

Kira looked like he wanted to ask more, but held his tongue when Cagalli gave him the 'If-you-treasure-your-life-don't-ask' look.

"Are you sure, he didn't do anything?" Kira asked again.

Cagalli gave him an annoyed look. "No, dear sweet overprotective brother of mine."

Kira rolled his eyes at her title for him.

"So…have you…um…thought it through yet?" Cagalli asked awkwardly, not knowing if she wanted to hear the reply.

Kira hesitated. He did give the matter a lot of thought; he even confronted his foster father about it who was shocked that Kira knew. Of course, Kira had been mindful about leaving out his other companion. He was sure that Cagall's father – no. HIS father will be storming into ZAFT and demanding that Cagalli returned to Emirates. It felt weird to Kira to be calling another man – Dad, father and other terms of endearment. Mr Yamato had told Kira the circumstances under which his biological parents had to give him up. He had understood but it did not mean that he accepted it. Plus, a part of him felt a bit upset that he was the one who was given up, the childish side of him felt that his parents had chosen his sister over him. But Kira was not one to get jealous or myopic about the situation. He was much more mature for that.

"Yea, Cagalli. I'm- I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to get hurt by my words. It's not that I don't care about our mother. It's just that it's hard for me to take it all at once," Kira said quietly as he looked at his sister's face.

Cagalli smiled as she leaned against the wall. "It's fine Kira." Kira wondered if that was how his biological mother looked like when she smiled. The flawless curve of the lips, eyes radiating warmth and the need to return the smile. Which was what he did, he smiled back.

"So…" Cagalli continued, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. She didn't know what to say.

"Brother and sister…who would have thought that all this time my brother was staying next door to me?!" Cagalli laughed.

Kira chuckled. "Yeah, and to think I thought you were a peeping tom when I saw you peeking into Athrun's room," Kira laughed heartily. Cagalli chortled, remembering their first encounter. Then Kira stopped abruptly.

"Wait, you're living with Athrun. Does he know that you're a girl?"

Cagalli shook her head. Kira's amethyst eyes grew large as the knowledge of his sister sleeping in the same room as his friend for the past three months hit him harder that a twenty-tonne truck hitting a wall at top-speed.

"How can you be sleeping in the same room with a boy?! You're a girl! Do you know how dangerous it is to sleep less than ten feet away from a hormone-driven male?! I mean he could…he could," Somehow Kira couldn't bring himself to finish his sentence. Cagalli blushed as she realised her brother's very insightful train of thoughts. If she knew she was going to get such a paranoid brother…

"It's not my fault! The school ran out of single rooms! What was I supposed to do? Sleep outside in the cold?!"

"Yes! I mean Athrun maybe my best friend but there's some things that I don't approve of, like his choice of girlfriends," Cagalli scoffed at this, remembering Meer the Macabre, ok so she's not really gruesome but hey can you blame Cagalli? "…and I don't trust him to be alone with my sister! Who knows what he'll do when he found out! No! You're staying in my room from now on!" Kira said hotly. Cagalli sighed for the umpteen times that day.

"Kira, will you stop being so big-brother-ish. It was amusing at the start, but now it's just plain irritating. And Athrun's not that kind of guy that would take advantage of an unsuspecting girl. You really ought to give him more credit than that," Cagalli said in an almost disapproving manner.

Kira's eyebrows rose and he gave a sly smile. "I guess you're right Cagalli, I was wrong about Athrun. After all, the boy who caught my sister's eye would be a respectable lad."

"Exactly! Wait!…I mean no!…I mean yes!…I mean…Arrgh!! Kira!" Cagalli cried as she found herself caught in Kira's clever trap. Kira laughed hard at her blushing face. It was the first time that she had admitted out loud that she liked Athrun. She salvaged whatever left of her dignity by punching Kira's arm –hard.

"Ow!…" Kira mock-glared at Cagalli while rubbing his sore arm "I can't believe I got a cavegirl for a sister." Cagalli send him a death glare as she stalked off the locker room.

"Cagalli, I was just kidding!" Kira called as he caught up with her in the locker room. Cagalli huffed as she stormed out of the room towards the building exit.

"Cagalli!" Kira shouted as he ran to catch up with her. When he caught up, he grabbed her arm causing her to stop in her tracks.

"C'mon Cagalli, I was just fooling around. Surely you're not going to stay mad at your own brother?" he said.

Cagalli looked at him, debating whether she should forgive him or to let him sweat some more. The latter was very tempting after how he had unscrupulously tricked her into revealing about her crush on Athrun, but then looking into Kira's face was probably a mistake. His eyes pleading, his mouth turned down as he looked at Cagalli. This is so not fair she thought that was how I got conned into going to all those stupid uptight functions because Dad always uses his special puppy-dog face which I hate to say, works every single bloody time. I can't believe Kira using that against me! Oh…but he look so cute…Oh my god! I'm caving in…NOOOO!!!

"Fine," she relented finally. Once again the puppy-dog face had unleashed its prowess and defeated Cagalli.

Kira beamed as he walked alongside her.

"Cagalli, I was wondering. Why did you encourage Athrun to go after Lacus? I mean isn't that going against the whole concept of…you know, getting the guy?"

Cagalli looked at him in surprise, how did he know? Oh right, Athrun must have told him, she concluded dryly.

Cagalli pondered over his question, she had been asking herself the same thing after that night. And she thinks she knows why.

"I guess it's because I need to know that the guy I like is not a quitter, just because things doesn't go his way, he'll concede defeat," she said at last, blushing a bit "I want to know that if something should come between us or happened to us, that he won't give up. He will still continue to fight for us to be together." She finished her face growing warmer by the second. She had never told anyone this, because it sounded too idealistic, like something out of a fairytale. Like a knight fighting for his lady's hand.

Kira was surprised at her answer, he never thought about it that way. It was risky to think that way, because you may end up losing the person you love if you encourage him too much. Kira smiled at his sister. She really is a piece of work, just when when you think you figured her out, she'll spring a surprise on you, smashing away all your assumptions about her to start over again; he got the feeling that his life would be much more interesting with Cagalli around. He was glad that Cagalli is his sister; she really gave him a lot of things to be proud of.

"Then you don't have to worry about that. If there's one thing I know about Athrun is that he never gives up, even when things go bad. He never quit, especially if it's something he cherish and love," Kira said truthfully. Cagalli let out a sad laugh.

"We'll see, he doesn't even know that I'm a girl. I doubt that he will feel the same way about me," she said a bit downcast.

"Cagalli, you never know. Sometimes people will surprise you," he said with a knowing smile.

Cagalli's eyebrows rose, it was as if something inside her perked its ears and lifted its head at Kira's words.

Maybe…just maybe…

Cagalli stretched her arms after her shower which Kira had insisted on guarding it for her after hearing in horror how his sister had been taking a shower for the past three months. Cagalli was annoyed, but some part of her rather enjoyed being fuss over and having someone who would make sure that no harm will come your way. When she reached her room door, she hesitated in opening it. She knew that Athrun was in there and didn't know if he's still holding a grudge against her. She sucked in air as she opened the door, feeling nervous as she walked to her side of the room. Sneaking a glance at Athrun, who was doing his homework on the shared table. He had only glanced up at her when she entered before resuming his work. To say that the atmosphere in the room was awkward was to put it lightly. Cagalli stood facing her bed, wondering if she should just do her homework outside.

This is ridiculous she thought we are just two roommates doing our own work. With that, she took her stuff and sat down at the table beside Athrun and opened her math book. Athrun seemed oblivious to her presence as he concentrated on his work. For a while, they sat side-by-side, the sound of pen scratching paper, the occasional flip of the book and an odd squirm or two.

"Um…" Athrun started as he tapped his pen on his paper, he was stumped on a math question. Cagalli turned to him, her hand stopped moving.

"Do you know how to do question twelve?" he asked tentatively.

Cagalli looked back down at her book. Question twelve? She thought as she read through the question Oh she realised, she had Kira explained to her the concept required for this question the day Athrun and Lacus had their 'date'.

"Yeah, it's a bit tricky but here's how you do..." she said as she explained the question to Athrun. Athrun nodded as he gave occasional glances to Cagalli, fidgeting ever so slightly, the scene in the fire escape stairwell still playing on an endless loop in his mind. Is Caleb gay? He cringed at that thought. Athrun, just because you saw Caleb leaning his head on Shinn's shoulder does not mean that he's gay. There are a thousand and one other possible and logical explanations. Heck, it may not even mean anything.

"Yeah…" he mumbled.

"Sorry?"

Athrun turned his head to her, his face heating up slightly. He hadn't realised that he had voiced his thoughts out loud.

"Um…I mean yeah, I get it," he said hastily.

Cagalli nodded as she finished her explanation. "…and that is how you do it," she ended, feeling proud of herself for explaining the question so well.

"Thanks Caleb," Athrun said smiling slightly.

Cagalli felt her heart did a triple- flipped; he was smiling at her, does that mean that he's no longer angry with her?

"No problem Athrun!" she replied earnestly, beaming brightly.

"And…er, I'm sorry about you know…that night. I over-reacted a bit," Athrun apologised looking at Cagalli.

Cagalli smiled, she was feeling rather magnanimous today. "I understand no worries. I already told Lacus and she's handling it quite ok. So friends?" Cagalli said as she extended out her right hand.

Athrun looked at her hand before nodding and shaking her hand.

"Friends," he confirmed with a bigger smile as he made eye contact with Cagalli. He never realised how expressive they were, her amber eyes were sincere and honest and like the sun, they held a soft kind of warmness that seemed almost enthralling to an extent.

Cagalli's face flushed when Athrun looked at her, holding her gaze longer than necessary. She wanted to look away, but Athrun's eyes were like deep green pools, she couldn't resist but to take a plunge, wanting to get lost and explore the mysterious green ocean.

"Athrun?" Cagalli managed to say after surfacing from her plunge. Athrun blinked.

Cagalli looked down at their still joined hands. As much as she would love to keep holding his hand, they have homework to do.

"Oh...sorry," Athrun said, slightly embarrassed as he released her hand.

Cagalli could still feel the ghost of his hand lingering on hers. She committed it to memory, wanting to never forget how holding his hand felt like. It was as –as only a cliché would say it best – the greatest feeling in the entire world. She could feel her heart smiling goofily and it was dying to show the world that it's smiling by letting the smile be on her face. She was having trouble keeping the smile locked in her heart.

"Um…I think we should get back to work, we have math for first period and I don't think it would be a good idea to get send out of class," Athrun said snapping Cagalli out of her wonderful daydream.

"Right," she said as they returned to their homework at hand.

They worked side-by-side, pen scratching paper, the occasional sound of book being flip, an odd squirm or two and neither could deny that something had happened with that handshake.
