Call for Love
Disclaimer:I dont own GSD/GS
A/n: Keeping my promise to finish this story no matter what :'D
"Alright, everyone"Via smiled "Let's enjoy tonights fesitival to the fullest! "
"Yeah..."the rest cheered lightly
"Hey, what's with the tired faces?" Via asked putting a hand on her waist, eye-ing particularly...her daughter.
"Nothing."Cagalli replied nonchalantly
"My Honey, We'll go watch the fireworks together and confess our love for each other tonight."Yunna said putting an arm around the blonde
The word confession kinda hit Cagalli but nevertheless she ignored it and sighed "Get a hike Yunna...I'd rather put you in a firework rocket than be with you" She pushing his hands away.
Yunna smirked and patted her head. "Feisty...just so feisty"He teased.
"Yu-kun, stop teasing your cousin!" Isabelle said pulling his son by the collar at the back
"gwack!"
"So, Fireworks watching huh?" Athrun said as he walked beside Cagalli, startling her a bit.
Cagalli blushed as she smelled a whiff of his manly cologne. She slightly turned her head on her side"Y-Yeah..."
"Well, I guess we might as well enjoy it like Mrs. H said ne?" Athrun smiled at her and shifted his hands in his pockets.
Damn, that smile
"uhm..yeah."Cagalli replied with a smile and blushed. How come, now that she admitted her feelings to herself. She started to feel quite shy when he's with her, her heart wont stop beating in a fast pace nor would her blush come off. I guess its one of the powers of love.
Milly and Lacus smiled slyly as they watch the two. "Man, these two sure are very amusing to watch "Milly snickered as she flickered her camera once again, snapping another photo of the soon to be couple.
"Seems like the two are getting along now... what 'bout you Milly? How are things going on your side?" Lacus asked
Mirriallia lowered her cam and sighed "I dunno...Dearka..." She bit her lower lip and sighed
"Dearka, explained his side, that he didnt intentionally did it, he got teased and gave in. Im still having doubts if I should forgive him..." Milly said reviewing the images stored in her SLR"he said he gave in. I dont know...should I really forgive him?...He's really stupid at times. "
"Its your own decision Milly...You'll just have to decide whether to forgive him or not. " Lacus smiled patting her.
Mirriallia gave a deep sigh and tucked her hair.
"Second chance always works its magic...Its like love at second sight "Lacus giggled "Like me and Kira..."
"huh?" The auburn looked at her confusedly
"You didnt know did you?..."Lacus said
"Obviously not.."Miriallia replied smiling
"well because of a certain say our relationship went from good to bad..."Lacus frown a little, remembering her past "But I guess Kira pulled some unbelievable stunts and I was able to forgive him then we got engaged and married... and that certain someone was forcefully married to some other rich guy and the rest was history for her..."Lacus said summarizing her love story in a quite improper way.
"ookkaayyy..."Milly looked at her
"You know I wouldnt have given Kira a chance but I guess he did something quite embarassing just to tell me that He still love me and forever will..."Lacus smiled
"What did he do?"
"Well, He saw me walking in the park...a crowded park a few days after our uhh...cool off or maybe break up. Then he dragged me in the stage where a concert was going to be held. He stood on the stage quite embarass at that time and smiled at me. Of course,... I snobbed him and I was about to walk out when my favorite love song began playing in the background. "
"Now, your getting me.."Miriallia smiled mischievously and obviously wanted to hear more about it.
"then Kira called my name and yelled on top of his lungs that He loves me...Everyone in the park heard it and I was so embarassed. Unfortunately, some cameras were on standby because of the concert"Lacus laughed "I probably guess not only the people in the park heard him...anyway..He asked forgiveness and my hand in marriage at the same time..."
"And you said?"
"Its pretty obvious now Milly..." Lacus snickered "It was Mom who told me about the second chances...when we got back together."
"ohhh..." Milly nodded her head and laughed... "To think he screamed that infront of the people...My, Kira had some guts..."
"You should have seen his face...It was hilarious..." Lacus laughed.
Milly giggled along with her and smiled to herself slowly.
Perhaps she could give it another try.
An hour before the festival, the ladies pampered their selves up and so did the men. Lacus fluffed the ends of her hair up as Kira was fixed his greyish shirt then wore his beige jacket.
Mirriallia smiled to herself as she leaned on the balcony railing, watching the waves crash on the boulders of rock repeatedly.
"Someone looks happy"
Mirriallia turned her head and found Cagalli combing her hair, she was wearing a dark navy blue tight sleveless turtle neck top and she wore her jeans and a khaki colored belt. Mirriallia giggled and smiled at her."Maybe...I just realize something thats all..."
Cagalli nodded silently and walked beside her "You know...maybe me too..." She grinned and stared at the darkening sky.
Not a minute longer they heard Via calling them from downstairs and walked down happily.
"You guys excited?" Via smiled looking at them.
"Not really..." Cagalli sighed and yawned
"Let's go and try to enjoy okay?"Via patted Cagalli on the back and ushered them to ride on the van.
The travel was short, since they had arranged their picnic in the park. Luckily, Cagalli knew an area not that crowded and had a great view of the fireworks display at the same time the sea with the full moons reflection reflecting on the calm water and so they settled in that area.
"Its a very nice view..."Lacus clasped her hands and smiled admiring the exquisite view before them. Kira walked beside her and put an arm around her, holding her close to him and whispering something on her ears making her softly giggle.
Cagalli silently sat on the grassy ground and started pulling green plants out of their roots one by one. Athrun watched her and sat near her. "You seem awfully quiet compared to your rantings this morning.." He planted his hand on his sides and gaze up at the starry sky.
The blonde turned her head and gave him a small smile "Really huh?" she replied
"Your acting strange today..."Athrun said concernly leaning forward to her and putting his hands on her forehead..."Your not sick or anything..what's wrong?"
Cagalli blushed as his hands came in contact with her forehead. She quickly pushed aside his hands and turned away.. "Im okay! " she said slightly raising her voice.
"Now that's better" he chuckled.
Cagalli grunted and gazed at the shimmering dots above them.
Via sighed and placed the red and white checkered blanket on the ground with the help of Isabelle.
"It looks like love is coming around early today huh Via" Isabelle said looking at some few couples near them
"Yeah, I guess" Via agreed glancing at her children."Does Cagalli know Yunna is getting engage to Evette?"
Isabelle snickered " No not yet I suppose, Yunna still couldnt accept that he's getting engage to her...Yunna still likes your daughter Via..." she smiled
Via gave a chuckle and smiled " I know, eversince he was a little boy but it looks like she's has someone already..."
Isabelle nodded and looked at her blonde neice "I wish my neice the happiness she wants..."she softly mumbled and finished setting up the picnic with Via silently.
Mirriallia slowly walked towards the railing and leaned on the cold steel silently. She detached herself from her group for awhile to think as soon as they arrived in the park. The cold wind blew pass her, she tucked the loose strands of her auburn hair behind her ear and closed her eyes.
A figure slowly approached the young brunette silently. He placed his hands on her eyes and kissed the back of her head.
Mirrialliia gasped and stiffened as she felt someones hand on her eyes. She wanted to scream for help but something inside her stopped her from doing it. She kept her cool down and calmly spoke. "Who are you?"
"You know who I am...Milly"
Mirrialli bit her lower lip, she'd recognize that voice anywhere. The voice that belonged to someone as corny as a clown...Dearka Elsman.
She remained silent and sighed. Mirriallia firmly grasped the cold steel and held it tightly as she trembled.
He removed his hands on her eyes and held her trembling hand. "Im really sorry...Milly. Will you fogive me?" he asked, his purple orbs begging.
Mirriallia opened her eyes and stared at his face.
"will you give me a second chance to love you and not commit the same mistake ever again?..Cause you know, I never meant to hurt you"
the auburn girl sighed and lowered her head. "I-well..uhh"
"I love you..."Dearka whispered instantly making her blush "I love you in every bone in my body...I'll still love you even if they kill me and feed me to hungry pack of lions... even if you sho-"
The auburn lady in front of him turned around and put a finger on his lips "Your too cheesy.."Mirriallia laughed and smiled at him for the first time after a long time.
"I wonder what time the fireworks would start..." Athrun wondered loudly. The person beside him kept on giving him mute replies, not a single sigh nor grunt was heard from her and it was starting to worry him.
"My little tigress, are you okay?" He asked as he whispered in her ears.
Cagalli was startled and looked at him. Her face was few inches from him. He could feel his warm breath tickle her soft delicate face." You idiot, stop scaring me like that!"she hitted him on the shoulder.
Athrun snickered "All right, all right...Its just you seem so quiet tonight. Your not acting like yourself right now..." He said.
"Im just thinking...so dont bother me.."
"what are you thinking...?" He sneered "Me?"
Cagalli's eyes widened and glared at him. To tell you the truth she was actually, but knowing Cagalli she was stubborn as a mule and would deny everything she doesnt want people to know about. "My ass... I wont think of you even if its the last thing I do before I die!"
"Then tell me why are you blushing huh?" Athrun teased, smiling quite mischievously, poking her flustered cheeks.
Cagalli was taken back. She didnt knew how to answer the question thrown back at her. Athrun had those victorious looking smile again plastered on his face. He leaned closer to her, his and her lips only a few more centimeters apart. Athrun stared in her eyes. Her fiery amber eyes that could melt anything away. He smirked and smiled at her like an idiot. For a couple of minuted they fell silent and stared back at the sky. Both of them had their own world thinking of whats next...until... "Hey...Can I tell you something...?" He asked as slight shade of red tint suddenly appear on his cheeks
"What?"Cagalli asked as she leaned backward, moving her face on the side a little. Athrun stared at her sheer beauty as the moons light spilled on them. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes... "well, You already heard me say this... but...I dont know... I just want you to know it again..I want you to hear it again..."
Cagalli gulped and focused her eyes on him. what was it he wanted to say?. Athrun coughed and his eyes tried to roam around. Cagalli stared at him, somehow he began acting differently from the way he acted earlier.
Athrun released a deep breath and slowly held her hand...
Cagalli was caught in surprise as his warm hands touch her cold hands. Athrun looked at her hand and brought it up to his lips, gently placing a gentle soft kiss on it.
Heat immediately rush on the blondes cheeks. Things were going quite differently a few moments ago. First he acts like a total jerk and pain in the neck now his acting like Romeo!
Athrun smiled as a light blush slowly appear on his cheeks and stare at the dumbstruck blonde beside him. He held her hands firmly yet gentle in a way and released another nervous breath.
"Cagalli Hibiki...Im gonna repeat myself again..." Athrun smiled "I, Athrun Zala... has fallen head over heels for you and your uncomparable beauty and personality..."
"Never in my life have I ever met a person like you, a person who isnt like any other girls I've met. Its like your the sky while they're the ground. Every-every time I see you, your smiles and everything about you, I'm like a little boy who just received a wonderful present that could make my life so happy and contented. Mrs. Yula no..Ms. Cagalli Hibiki...I love you, more than you could ever imagine. Eversince I met you as Mrs. Yula, I knew your were different from the others, as if it was you who had touched my heart the most making it beat like crazy. You and only you made me feel so happy..." He cupped her cheeks and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Cagalli was left utterly speechless. Athrun has confessed the second time around. After his cheesy speech, she couldnt even mutter even a single word or a letter. She felt butterflies on her stomach, her heart pounded so hard and loud so much that she couldnt hardly breath any more. She bit her lip and looked at Athrun...
"A-Athrun I..." The blonde gulped and released a breath of nervousness and closed her eyes tightly." Athrun...I t-"
Just then first firework exploded in the sky beautifully as rainbow colors came into play. The colors of the light reflected on them the shade of green happily glowed on them.
Cagalli opened her eyes and found herself tightly held by Athrun. She could fully inhale his manly scent, his pine-ish smell that tingled her nostrils now and then. Athrun released her from the hug and smiled at her...lovingly.
She in return smiled with her cheeks burning so red. Finally she had said it and the weight in her heart had come to disappear and she never felt so happy.
"Im glad..."Athrun softly said before cupping her cheeks and pulling her to a kiss. A kiss they'd share as lovers.
At that very moment their friends came in and witness the scene, Mirriallia and Lacus began hugging each other and tears slowly form in their eyes. They were happy for Cagalli. Finally, the two had settled. Dearka patted Kira's back as Kira sniffed, he too was happy for his twin. Once again she found love. not an ordinary love but finally true love.
"Athrun...I too...I- I love you too..."
"Yey! Cheers for our new and reunited couples "Kira said raising his can of beer up in the air. Everyone cheered as Athrun and Cagalli a.k.a the new couple and Mirriallia and Dearka a.k.a the reunited couple blushed. Via smiled at her daughter and winked at her.
"Cagalli honey pie! How can you do this to me!..Your unfair.." Yunna sniffed in a childish way as everyone laughed.
Cagalli giggled and for the first time patted his back. Yunna tried hugging her immediately after he recieved a pat but was stop by Cagalli's knight...Athrun Zala..
"No touching...tut tut tut..." Athrun smiled waving a finger at him
Yunna snarled at him and sighed. Isabelle patted his back and smiled. She gently nudge Via and whispered something on her ears. The brunette mother snickered and nodded. She pushed Isabelle gently and coughed.
"All right kiddies, your aunt has something to say.." Via smiled and looked at Isaballe as is telling her its her turn to speak.
"Okay, Cagalli, Kira I want you guys to know that Yunna is to be engaged with Evette de Moure." she smiled
Kira dropped the can of beer he was holding and stared at his Aunty stunned. Cagalli began choking the sandwich she was eating and hung her mouth wide.
"Come again?" The twins said
"Yunna is getting engage. I hope you guys can come along with us back to States for his engagement. "
"Yunna...engage?" Kira blinked. How come when he thinks about it, the word engage and Yunna doesnt match with each other... or maybe he didnt think this day would come to his freaking pain in the ass cousin.
Yunna grunted and kept silent.
"Yes, Kira. To tell you the truth...Yunna wanted to come here because he wanted to invite you guys there and of course enjoy his last few days before the De Moure's moved to our house..."Isabelle smiled "So can you guys come with us then?" She clasped her hand hopefully.
the group exchanged whispers with each other and smiled "Yes we will Aunty..for the sake of our dear cousin Yunna " Cagalli smirked
Yunna sighed and began eating his sandwich in silence. Kira chuckled and gave a hard pat on Yunna's back and congratulated him. the purple haired guy snarled and mumbled thanks. To be honest, he didnt like Evette at first...then their repeatitive meetings made him slowly fall for her with out knowing...when he had realized it he went ballistic and wanted to see Cagalli and tell her that he likes Cagalli, he wanted to escape reailty but lots of things happend. Now he just need to face the truth that Evette will be engaged to him ..(hahaha)
Athrun and Cagalli walked somewhere in the park alone, hand in hand. Red tints slowly appear on their cheeks as they held each others hand. Now the atmosphere lingering between them felt awkward for some reasons. The wind blew hard pass them and slightly, Cagalli shivered. She rubbed her free hand on her bare arms warming it up with a little friction through her hand. How come the wind was cold when it was summer...? Cagalli's mind began ranting over the smallest things again.
Athrun saw her shudder from the cold wind and smiled slightly. He slowly shrug off his brown jacket and slowly draped it on her cold shoulders. Cagalli looked over her shoulders and smiled. "Arent you cold?" she asked
"You need it more than I do..." he simply replied and looked at her.
Cagalli stared at him and blushed. It was just then she noticed what Athrun was wearing. Beneath the brown jacket he was wearing earlier, he had a whitish purple polo and a greenish pants. His polo was opened a few inches below his collar bone reaviling a part of his well toned chest.
"How come your so silent tonight Mrs. Yula " He asked as he placed his hands on his pockets and stared up the starry sky.
"How come your so nosy tonight?" She throwed a question back at him.
Athrun smiled and looked at her "Because its not you...I like the ranting Cagalli more.."
Cagalli turned into a deeper shade of red and crossed her arms on her chest, slowly tugging his brown jacket closer to her.
"I find her cuter in that way..." he slowly leaned on her and smirked.
Cagalli slowly stiffened and later on relaxed as Athrun smirked. She smiled
"I hate you.."
"I love you too"
Athrun pressed his lips on her forehead and slowly hugging her tightly, as another batch of colorful fireworks started playing up above them, spilling colorful colors on them as they silently watch together.
