Chapter 14: End of the Play

His lips touched hers, a kiss she could have never thought to be so temperate and enticing. The kiss he gave her before was out of lustful desire that she abruptly hesitated. But why is his kiss now this different; it is as if… almost intoxicating. 'If only it would be like this forever…' Oh, she would have sworn she hasn't thought of that kind of thing. But, it seems like she was being pulled towards him by an unknown force. This setting…these events…and such dreams…She is somehow trapped in the destiny that the fates have played, and she knew that she has no way out of it. Her will is no longer in her grasp…That she could be sure.

'Why…am I with you...even letting you kiss me…giving you a chance to change me…my principle…and my life…'

Letting her thoughts spindle in her head, she barely noticed his lips parting away from hers. 'Why?'

"Please wake up, my dear princess…please…" Athrun, who acted as the substitute Prince Philip, said. Seeing that her princess is still in a deep sleep, or trying not to wake up from reality, he traced his fingers through her smooth skin.

His tickling caress on her cheek, woke her up from her non-ending thoughts, and slightly took a peak of her dear prince. "A-a-ath-run…" She mumbled, a little bit surprised and agitated as she felt her cheeks warming up.

"Finally…" He emphasized, and then took a heave sigh. "My dear princess has woken up…" He gently raised her up. But she was still kind of delirious so he instead said an adlib to cover up. "Thy princess looks really frail…" He said concernedly. "Is this the doing of the cursed witch?" He asked while trailing back his fingers from the warmth of thy princess cheek. 'Is she blushing?' He wondered upon feeling the heat of her cheek.

Reflexively, she grabbed his hand, as if she is stopping him. This startled him, so he tried to withdraw his hand, but it seems like she was not letting his hand go. He noticed how her eyes seem so honest, so he let his wrist settle in her grasp, waiting for the reason of her sudden action. "No…" She said softly. "It is just that…I have never felt this kind of feeling before…" Her mellow voice was never been this fragile yet pleasing for anyone to hear.

He was not a bit surprised from her words, but he was rather curious and expecting more, so he intrigues further. "Then, what could this feeling might be?" He asked with a small smile forming from his lips.

The crew, noticing that none of their dialogs are from the script tried to flash some dialog boards to keep them on track, but it seems like the two aren't even minding what they are doing.

"What are they doing? This isn't even in the script!!!" Yzak fumed as he watches the two acting carelessly, for his opinion. "That Athrun! He should have known better! He is the director for peace's sake!" He blurted out.

Dearka, who is watching attentively at the play, hushed Yzak out. "Hey, will you please keep quiet…The scene is quite interesting…"

"Interesting? They are ruining the play!!!" The silver-haired assistant director snapped from the outrageous behavior of his comrade. "It isn't a bit interesting!!!" He mocked like a child, out of anger.

He then tried to look around for any sane crew member he has. But looking around, he found them all joyfully watching the play. "WILL YOU PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!!" He commanded them.

But he just received a tap from Mir, gesturing him to watch the play. "What do you want?!"

"Try watching…You might understand why they are all watching."

Yzak followed her advice upon having no choices to pick anyway. "Fine…" He said in defeat.

With a cheerful smile, Mir then left the quick-tempered assistant director.

She bit her lip upon his question, knowing that her every action is now had been depicted by him.

"It is…" She looked at his emeralds, and then took a deep breath, for she knew that after this, everything will change for sure. "A feeling felt when…" She brought his hand to where her heart is placed. He was quite surprised to react to her action, when she then continued with her statement. "Someone is…in" She bit her lip again and looked downward to escape the awkwardness. But she immediately composed herself and looked at him directly. "In… love…" She said with outmost sincerity with eyes seem to glimmer with passion.

He doesn't know if he should react or say something. He is more like struck at the time that all he could do is to mutter her name. "Cagalli…"

Behind the red curtains at the side of the stage, a pair of crimson eyes watched the play, feeling a little bit of what someone might feel to lose something so gravely. Hearing them… Seeing them…His hand clenched with such scenario. What can someone do to stop something that needed to be done?

"The greatest dismay is to see something you never wished to see, and humbly be blind that it is what you want to see." If it wasn't for that remark, he would still be in the daze of desolation.

Knowing the voice's owner, he didn't even care to look at the person. "How can I be blind when I can see clearly?" He remarked, as if he was kind of sarcastic in his expression and tone of voice. "I may not like it but I know what is needed to be done…"

"Hmm…" Her eyes could see clearly the great grief in his expression and actions. "That's a bit fast…" She removed her fairy hat from her head and stood beside him. "I never thought that you would actually confess too soon…" She said while playing with her hat.

"I don't…like…a long chat…" He said plainly. "And knowing you…" He paused and let out a sigh. "You'll push me to it anyway…"

His comment about her, made her realize how persistent she is that a soft chuckle escape from her. "Yes. I am indeed like that." She said while chuckling.

He just rolled his eyes of her openness. How he wished to be more like her.

"Hmm." But like a mood swing, her facial expression suddenly straightened and asked a very gauche question. "But…what if it was you who is the true prince?"

Her question caught his immediate attention, and for the first time he turned to look at the brunette beside him. Seeing her innocent yet queer facial expression made him realize how stupid he is to fall from her trap. "What do you mean?" He said quite flustered.

"What if it wasn't him…" She said acting as if someone who is so innocent and blind. "It was you who she needs?"

"That would be…"

She swore that his eyes were priceless upon hearing her remark. "Then, how about Luna?"

"What the hell is with you changing the topic so drastically, when you're asking something relatively different?!" He suddenly burst out of awkwardness to her sudden question.

"Nope." She put a grin on her face. "Those two are actually connected, you do know right?"

"There's a huge difference…" He muttered.

"Hm? There is?"

"I love you, my dear prince…" She took the initiative and caressed the pale skin of her prince. "Since the day I have fell asleep…I have been dreaming of you…saving me…"

He merely lost track of the situation because of her speech or rather confession. 'Argh…I almost forgot this is a play…why does she had to be that sincere when …' Regaining his solemnity, he covered her hand that was on his cheek and told her, "I'm glad that thy princess feel the same way as I feel. It was a good thing for you to have been kept asleep for a hundred years or I may have not been here with you right now…"

"I'm also glad that such gallant prince had saved me…" She smiled at him, the warmest he could ever see.

Then, without warnings, he caught her into a warm embrace. "I'm the happiest man alive for having you, my dear princess."

She was shocked at first but she knew that this guy needed a hug as well, so she trailed her hand on his back ang gave him a welcoming approval.

Upon the kingdom showered such glory for the princess had finally woken up and therefore thy kingdom's everlasting slumber.

So with the heroic deed of thy courageous prince, the kind honored him and gave him thy princess hand for marriage.

And thus, the kingdom lived happily ever after…

While waving at the audience, Athrun took Cagalli's hand and raised it with him. Although wearing a ridiculous purple wig, Cagalli could clearly tell that it was indeed Athrun and not that weirdo Yunna. Seeing his face smile like that is something so rare to see. 'He is indeed happy, I guess…' She thought. But noticing that their fingers are entwined and remembering the thing that happened during the play, she can't help but to be embarrassed. 'No...Don't Cagalli...It's not right...'

"Hm? What's wrong?" Athrun suddenly asked upon noticing her quite flustered.

"No-Nothing…"

He knew what's troubling the blonde and it's also the thing that troubling him right now. But right now is not the time to settle things…might be later…

"The play is good isn't?" Kira commented as he continued to applause for her sister's magnificent yet quite disturbing acting. "I never knew Cagalli hidden such talent!" He let out a soft chuckle. "I bet that you never knew too, Lacus!"

"Indeed, Cagalli's acting…is quite marvelous…" Despite the usual attitude of Kira, Lacus still can't hide the fact that she is still kind of troubled by his presence.

"Let's go greet our award-winning actress!" Kira grabbed Lacus hands to go, but…

"I-I think that I still can't go…and meet her…uhm…" He noticed how her eyes evade looking at him, and how his hand felt so cold and uncomfortable.

"Lacus…"

"Please…Kira…"

He let go of her hand and forced a smile on his face. "I understand."

"GOOD WORK EVERYONE!!!" Ms. Talia greeted her students. "Everybody was impressed with your marvelous acting and presentation!" She commented with a smile non-washable on her face. "Oh, I'm so glad!" She clapped her hands with tears forming from her eyes. "I'm really proud of you guys!!!!!!!!" She said as she rush towards them for a big hug.

But everyone was already out of sight upon noticing her motives. Just thinking about it made them puke…

"Ms. Talia! I'm choking!" Yzak tried to cope up some air.

"Yzak, where's everyone?"

"They've already left…" The silver-haired assistant director shrugged in embarrassment.

At the back of the school building is place very familiar with the two. Events that thorn them apart all happened here. 'But why of all places do they have to dwell in such place?' They both thought.

If it wasn't for such tingling wind that passed-by, the silence between the two wouldn't have been disturb for sure.

"You see!" Both of them started, and then halted at the same time.

"You go first…" Athrun proposed, feeling a little awkward and all. He couldn't even breathe normally with this kind of situation.

"You're the one who invited me here to come, so you go fisrt!" The blonde implied in a very rude yet flustered tone.

'Here we go again with her attitude problems…' He thought. "Well…" He started. "About the play…you told me…uhm…" It is unlike of him to be this restless and stammered. 'What is happening to me? Say it, Athrun! Say it!' His mind trying to gather the courage for him. "About what you said… and what it meant…"

She could see how his eyes barely have a contact with hers. "About that?" She knew this would happen and she was nonetheless a little bit ready. "The play huh…" And to think that she was just copying his actions a while ago. "You see…uhm" Evading any eye contacts with him and biting her lip, these are the signs reflected when the blonde is pretty tense, so tense. "It was about the play and the…lines uhm…the things that I said…and the thing that…"

"You did?" Athrun continued as if knowing that her sentence would never end, and knowing this kind of circumstances, she'll just draw some time.

"Yes, that I did…And I…ah…" Her mouth remained opened, finding the words to say next. 'What am I doing? I'm acting as if I don't know anything…' She crumpled the dress that is in her gasp, feeling all tensioned and all. "I did what is needed to be done during a play!" She blurted out.

"What?" Athrun sounded confused and a bit disappointed. "What do you mean by that?" He dared asked again, trying to hear right of what she said just a while ago.

'I thought that I would be ready when this confrontation comes…but why am I withdrawing?'

"Why do you ask? What do you mean by kissing me then? Isn't for the play?" She just couldn't say it after all.

"This draws the line!" Athrun grabs her hand and pulls her towards him, landing his lips unto hers.

She tried to struggle at first but his kiss was just too enticing for her not to take. Without thinking it over, she began kissing him back. As soon as he felt her kissing back, he loosens his grip to his hand and trailed his hands to her back to pull her to him and deepen the kiss.

Parting away, they looked at each other with such dubious look. They just stared at each other, eyes seemingly glued to one another. Wanting to talk but no words escape from their lips, for they are still in a daze of what is happening.

Could no longer withstand the silence, Athrun spoke first. "It is not for the play…This time…" He smiled as he still holds Cagalli's hand. But she immediately withdraws her hand and looked at him warily, as if he was some stranger. This made his smile fade and turn curious.

Cagalli touched her lips, and then, looked at Athrun with the most sympathetic look.

…I can never love you more than a friend

I am not selfish! You are just blind! I did this because of you and if our friendship is not that strong then be the end of it!

'Lacus' family is not what they seem. You should take note of that.

' am not someone you could just fool around, Athrun Zala!

As if, she was realizing something, she gasped as her eyes widen in horror. "I-I have committed something so horrible!" She fell to knees as tears started to flow to her cheeks. "Why have I just realize it now? During that time…I couldn't think clearly." She said as she sobs. "My heart was beating so fast and I couldn't control my emotions. I was really afraid that it would turn out that way, but my conscience tells me to say what I have to say, to do what I want to do." She then wipes her tears as she turns to face him. "Athrun, you have won…I've finally fallen in love with you!" She then covered her face with both of her hands and cried.

Athrun kneeled in front of her as he took off her hands away from her face. "Cagalli, I don't see what's wrong with it?"

"What's wrong with it? It's you who is wrong! I have fallen to the worst person I should have fallen with! You, who I despised for tricking my bestfriend! And now, I'm in love with you? It's wrong…Just wrong…" She let out, feeling helpless with his touch.

He could no longer take the scene that he is witnessing, so without thinking further, he wrapped his arms around her. "I'm sorry…I know it's my fault, but I just can't help falling in love with you too…"

"You fool…" She said as she cuddled to his warmth..

"We're both fools…" He corrected.
