We Shouldn't Be
Cagalli woke up very tired, she stood up in her bed thinking endlessly about the look on Kira's face when she Athrun asked her to the ball. But what was she suppose to do? Say no and go alone, even after he asked Lacus out?! Please, she is strong and if he wants to play this game then she is going to show him that she never looses. Well maybe there was that one time on the simulator, but that was a different story.
knock knock
Looking up Cagalli headed for the door. "Who is it?"
"Im so sorry if I disturbed you Ms. Attha, but I wanted to ask you a favor" came the voice of the ever so gentle pink-haired coordinator.
"Uh sure just a minute Lacus, I'll be right out". After changing into her usual red shirt and pair of pants, Cagalli opened up her door to the gleaming face of Lacus Chlyne. spelling?
"Why hello Cagalli, did you sleep well?"
"Yeah sure.. what is the favor that you want Lacus?"
"Oh well if you haven't noticed the ball is taking place on earth and we just recently landed in Orb's territory, and why I have absolutely nothing to wear and.."
"Spit it out Lacus"
"Oh im sorry well would you like to go shopping with me Cagalli?"
"Shopping ... what do you mean I have clothes already"
" Oh my, what I mean is for the ball, you know it is formal... meaning you have to wear a dress Cagalli"
"Oh no... what did I get myself into.. That it I'll just call Athrun and tell him I have to cancel... umm that there is a big meeting at Orb, that's believable and understandable and we are in Orb's territory.. Okay let me just get the phone now..."
"Cagalli.. Haha you are funny but come now it would be fun wouldn't you say? And I don't believe you would like to leave Athrun alone, that would break his heart, although he won't admit it."
"I know but... I don't like dresses... and I definitely am not going to wear a green one again..." Cagalli takes this chance to shudder at the horrid memories of all the green dresses she has been forced into.
"Oh let's just get going, I promise it won't be bothersome, it will be quick and you can come back and talk to Kisaka about the plans for tomorrow's ball."
"Oh alright but only because you woke me up so early and now I can't get back to bed"
"Yay! Now let's go"
At the Store
"Ooo this looks wonderful, do you think Kira would like it?"
At the mention of Kira's name Cagalli immediately thought about his eyes, there were in so much pain how can Lacus expect him to rejoice just because of some stupid ball?
"Ms. Attha?.... Cagalli!"
"Wh- oh Lacus uh.. Sorry I guess I dazed off.. What did you ask again?"
With a concerned expression Lacus swayed off the subject. "Never mind that. I think I've found the perfect outfit for you.. Look"
Cagalli turned her head to see this stunningly beautiful white dress with rose petals as a design that stuck to the hem of the dress's outlining, it had thin straps that connected to the back straps which covered some skin, but exposed the rest, and was long enough to look like a wedding gown.
"oh wow..." not even Cagalli could deny that it was magnificent.
"You should get it Cagalli, it would look beautiful on you."
"Uh-yeah what about you Lacus did you find the one you like?"
"Oh yes, look at this" Lacus showed off the dress that was pink, a nice shade of pink that complemented her hair, it had ruffles in the midsection of the dress and was not as long as Cagalli's but long enough to sway in the wind.
"Wow Lacus it's beautiful"
"thanks.. Now let's go pay I can see that you would like to get out of here."
"yeah very much so."
Kira waking up to sound of Birdie, a mechanical bird made by his best-friend Athrun, took some time to think about the events from the night before.
"Hey guys , yeah I'm excited, who are you taking Kira?
"Umm.." Hesitating a little while looking into Cagalli's eyes he couldn't answer
Sensing this Lacus answered instead. "Why me of course silly"
"Ahh... didn't expect anything less"............
"So Athrun, who are you taking,, although I am quite sure of it already."
"Cagalli Yula Attha would you do me the honor accompanying me to the ball? After the question was asked Athrun lowered his lips and kissed Cagalli's delicate hand.
"Ugh..." Kira slapped his hand lightly on his forehead, after walking away from Cagalli's trailing voice replying with a yes, he immediately went to his room to sleep not caring about what anyone would say regarding his absence.
"Hey Kira! Are you up?!"
"What do you want Athrun?"
"I got a surprise for you.. So open up already."
Please let it not be another mechanical object of affection.. Or friendship.. Or whatever.. "Sure Hold on a minute" After reaching the door Kira was baffled when he didn't see anyone there, so he decided to stick out his head.
"Athrun where did yo- umfghuh" Kira couldn't finish his sentence because of the mere fact that Athrun just shoved something in his face. Pushing it away to reveal and smiling Athrun Kira couldn't help but ask.
"what's so funny and what did you shove in my face?"
"Kira no thanks? I'm shocked, that's your tux for the ball tomorrow, you and Lacus are going to have fun, she took Cagalli out shopping this morning."
"Oh really?.. I've been thinking about this Ball thing, and I'm starting to reconsider my decision."
" Really?! - I mean you can't.. Lacus is counting on you? What do you think everyone would say knowing you left her alone at the ball?" Whoa that was close.. Why would I be so happy? Oh right you are starting to develop feelings for Lacus again..
Looking at Athrun and being suspicious of his moment of happiness, decided to avoid the topic. "So where are we?"
"We landed in Orb's territory, my guess is that we are dropping off some crew members to their respectful homes after the dance and getting restock to take other's back to their plant homes."
"What?. The ball is taking place here?"
"Uh. I think that would be pretty obvious Kira.. Are you feeling alright?"
" that means Cagalli.. will be staying here after the ball..... Uh.. Sure. I think im going to wash up I'll see you for dinner Athrun I need to take care of some things." With that Kira turned and closed the door.
Athrun heard what Kira said and couldn't help be worried.. "I guess true love never fades no matter the circumstances..."
Athrun ran into various crew members on his way to the dining hall, some people were Dearka, Mirialla, and Sai, He exchanged greetings and went on to the hall to get some food.
"Oh hello Athrun"
Turning around Athrun spotted the owner of the wonderful voice. "Hello Lacus, how are you.. I see you are done with your shopping"
"Oh yes, I believe both Cagalli and I have chose wonderful outfits."
"Well that's good to hear, I just picked up the tuxedo's for both Kira and I, since he was still knocked out this morning."
Chuckling a bit Lacus moved a little bit closer, and Athrun didn't seem to mind.
"Hey Lacus why don't you and me meet up tomorrow before the ball, you know give each other a little advice on.. Umm the people we want to be with?"
"Oh.. Sure I don't see any harm in that since the ball is at 7 pm why don't we meet at 6?"
Nodding in approval. Athrun left wit a tray of food, and no sooner did Lacus as well.
Cagalli was walking aimlessly around the Archangel, she couldn't get her mind off of Kira, she started to wonder whether or not he would stay at Orb, with his parents,, and more importantly her.
Ending up at the Ships Dock looking up at the sky, they were now on earth and just a few miles away was Orb's main city, Cagalli let out a huge sigh as she leaned against a railing.
"Oh Kira..."
" Yes...?"
"AH!" jumping back from the shock, Cagalli fell backwards off the railing, of course with Kira's coordinators skills he caught her and with great strength pulled her back up, once he did this along with Cagalli's strong protest on how she could save herself, Kira lost his footing and ended up with Cagalli landing on top of him.
"Oww... you big Oaf! I could have picked myself up!" Cagalli started to playfully hit Kira on the chest, not noticing the slight blush creeping up on his face.
"Im sorry.. Cagalli it was a reflex."
" well this wouldn't have happened if you didn't surprise me by answering to your name....." With that Cagalli got up and turned around not offering to help Kira up since her thoughts were now worried on whether or not Kira was going to ask her why she said his name. why did I say his name?
"Cagalli?....."
"Yeah Kira....?"
Turning around he slowly started walking to door but just stopped long enough to reply. "I hope you have a good time going to the ball with Athrun, ......and staying at Orb." With that said Kira left, leaving an overwhelmed Cagalli and her thoughts alone.
Later that Night Kira kept tossing back and forth he was having this weird dream, it took place at the ball and he waiting for someone, he guessed it was Lacus but wasn't sure, he started to walk out of the ballroom then he spotted a couple talking.
"We really shouldn't be doing this... it's wrong and I feel like im betraying them"
"I know but I really care about you, and It's pretty obvious that they didn't show any real affection towards us when we showed it to them."
" You're right.. I love you Athrun Zala"
"And I love you Lacus Clyne"
Kira was shocked he couldn't believe his.. dream eyes. Probably his dream was trying to tell him something.. Wait what was that sound?
The image shifted to a shadow the figure was hunched over it looks as if the figure saw what he himself had witnessed. Wait could it be?! Cagalli! He tried to scream out but nothing came, he saw as Cagalli turned and left with a few tears in her eyes.
Kira woke up with a startle, why would his dream show that his two best friends would betray Cagalli and himself. Wasn't Athrun in love with Cagalli?, and wasn't he in love with Lacus?... wait who is he kidding he knows he loves Cagalli... but..
"I can't take this.. I have to go for a walk.." Kira got off his bed and went into the hallway he swore he heard some few muffling noises.. He turned to look and found out that there were two people holding each other... no kissing each other, he looked a little closer and was stunned with shock....
Athrun Zala and Lacus Clyne were together in the middle of the night.......
Kissing.
