It's Nothing

Part Five: Like the good old days

"Cagalli!" Athrun repeated cried out until he found Cagalli still alone on a park bench looking up at the sky, folding her arms, looking cold and the end of her dress flying softly with the wind.

"Cagalli..." Athrun sighed falling down in front of Cagalli breathing for air. She looked away annoyed frowning.

"why, don't you go back to your girl-friend? I don't want her to wait for you for too long" She sighed slowly, her hair slowly moving with the wind.

"Cagalli, you only got better. you shouldn't be our wearing that dress" Athrun looked away, he felt his cheeks burning.

Kazesasou kokage ni utsubusete naiteru / Mi mo shiranu watashi wo watashi ga miteita / Yuku hito no shirabe wo kanaderu GITAARA / Konu hito no nageki ni hoshi ha ochite

"why would you care? its not like I'm still having a baby" Cagalli covered her arms. Athrun looked at Cagalli worried.

"I don't want to sick, I don't want my friends sick." Athrun said in an uneasy way. Cagalli looked at Athrun.

"Come, I'll give you a ride home" Athrun said putting out his hand for her to take but Cagalli got up.

"I'll walk home, but thank you very much" she said walking away but Athrun took her arm. she turned around and looked at Athrun. "Let me go"

Yukanaide, donna ni sakende mo / ORENJI no hanabira shizuka ni yureru dake / Yawarakana hitai ni nokosareta

Te no hira no kioku haruka / Tokoshie no sayonara tsuma hiku

"No, look at you. Your face is all pale, your getting sick." he said, not letting go of Cagalli.

"Please, Mr. Zala. You need not care about me this much" Cagalli whispered, Athrun pulled Cagalli into his arms, taking a hold of both of Cagalli's arms Athrun looked at her.

"Cagalli, you don't understand why I left you do you?" Athrun asked, Cagalli trying to pull away from Athrun but she couldn't, she only made Athrun pull her into his chest.

Yasashii te ni sugaru kodomo no kokoro wo / Moesakaru kuruma ha furiharai susumu / Yuku hito no nageki wo kanadete GITAARA / Mune no ito hageshiku kakinarashite

"because you didn't love me anymore" Cagalli cried out, trying to look down from Athrun, his soft green eyes looked at Cagalli heart broken.

"no, Cagalli it was because I loved you too much to have you hurt, even if I didn't have to marry Mia, I still would have broken up with you. It was for Orb, for PLANT, and for everyone's happiness. Orb would have never let someone like me marry a representative, like you." Athrun said wiping away Cagalli's tears.

"Cagalli you know that I still love you and always will. But we can't be together" Athrun whispered, trying to get her to look at him.

"Shut up, shut up Athrun! Stop lying to me! I don't want to listen anymore, I can't take it anymore!" Cagalli screamed covering trying to push Athrun away, but he wouldn't let go.

Aa kanashimi ni somaranai shirosa de / ORENJI no hanabira yureteta natsu no kage ni / Yawarakana hitai wo nakushite mo / Akaku someta suna haruka koete yuku / Sayonara no RIZUMU

"let me go" Cagalli cried slowly.

"come, Cagalli it's starting to rain, I'll give you a ride"

Athrun was right the sky that was once the light blue sky had turned black. The sky rumbled and slowly rain began to to fall until the both of them where wet. It was like the sky was crying for them.

Omoide wo yakitsukushite susumu daichi ni / Natsukashiku me fuite yuku mono ga aru no

"it's okay -" before she could finish what she was saying, Cagalli fell limp into Athrun's arms. He looked down at Cagalli worried.

"Cagalli? Cagalli?" Athrun gasped, moving his hand over Cagalli. He sighed thankful that Cagalli had only fainted. "Less of a fight the better, I guess" he mumbled to himself.

Athrun slowly put Cagalli's arms around his shoulders and picked her up and carried her like a groom would carry he's bride. Carefully carrying Cagalli to his car and held onto her body, not waiting her to fall.

Athrun quickly got to his black sports car and opened the door with one hand, still having Cagalli's limp body in the next. He sighed thinking of how she could he out for this long of a time and put her into the seat and closing the door.

"Mia?" Athrun asked as the car stopped in front of a red light, waiting to begin moving again.

"yes? what is it Athrun? could you find representative Attha?" Mia asked truly worried, over the phone. The light turned green and Athrun began driving again.

"Yes, I did Mia. but she is sick so i'm going to stay the night" He said quickly looking over to Cagalli, who was now covered with Athrun's jacket, but was still out.

"Ah! I see, I do hope she feels better then" Mia said lightly not knowing that by letting Athrun be alone with Cagalli may mean that she would lose him. "Oh my! I need to go now. I almost forgot that I left the tap on."

"okay then, bye Mia" Athrun said, still keeping his eye on the wet road.

"bye Athrun"

"Mia?" Athrun froze and looked over to Cagalli.

"what is it? Athrun?" Mia asked worried.

"I love you" Athrun said, the words were hardly coming out of his mouth, trying to believe that he indeed loved Mia, not Cagalli. But deep inside his heart, he knew that he was wrong. very wrong.

"I love you too" Mia said lightly giggling before she put down the phone. Athrun sighed hearing the click. Then slowly he closed his cell phone and putting it into his pocket.

Getting out of the car and walking to the steps of the building, he had found nothing had changed. He took out his keys and it was still there. slowly he unlocked the door and opened it.

Nothing that changed from all the months ago when he left Cagalli for PLANT, everything was the same. He put Cagalli onto her bed and walked to her closet and thanked god that his clothes that he had left there was still in place.

"I guess Cagalli didn't have the time to burn my clothes" Athrun joked to himself before taking a baggy shirt that belonged to Cagalli and moved back into the bedroom looking at Cagalli,still pasted out and wet. He walked slowly up to her thinking of how in the world he was going to change Cagalli. Hoping that she would wake up before he made his move to change her. But she didn't.

"Thank you for wearing a dress" he whispered under his breath. What was wrong with him? It's not like he had never seen Cagalli in her underclothing before. Heck that was what Cagalli was wearing half the time, when they where stuck on a island together, when they first met.

Athrun covered his face at the thought. Taking a towel, he covered Cagalli's body and put the shirt over her body and slowly he un zipped the zipper and took off her dress, taking the towel with the dress he put it away.

Still Cagalli slept.

Athrun made his way back to the closet to find something to wear in place of his wet clothes, Before leaving he saw something that wasn't there before, to the side of the closet where there was a shelf with jewelry on top there was also a small pair of baby shoes. A pang of pain returned to his body like the first time he found out that Cagalli was having his baby but had lost it.

He slowly walked up to the shoes and softly touched it, touching it as if he was worried that it was going to break, but it didn't.

"my baby..." he softly whispered.

"our baby.." a voice sad from behind Athrun, he turned around and saw Cagalli. Not knowing what took over him, he ran over to Cagalli and hugged her, both began to cry.

What seemed like hours later, Cagalli went back to sleep and Athrun began to cook something for her to eat. He started to remember the two years of peace (well almost) together. He looked around the house. It was still the same as always and he didn't know why but this felt like his real home.

With Cagalli,

Like the good old days....

thank you for the 30 reviews! do you think i can get more then that in this chapter?


strange thing when writing this chapter i found a great chinese song for it. I couldn't find the lyrics for it because I didn't know the chinese name and i didn't know how to spell in chinese. (well i know Fish, big, small, water etc) yeah. so sad, so I put in Akatsuki no Kuruma. Why? because its the song of love baby. (okay I didn't say that.) I really wanted to put in Reason (ed song) at the ed of the chapter. (because i was listening to it) and it seem to fit at the end. (Yeah to much Gundam Seed Destiny for me) anyways starting to hit what we call writers block (why do I think of my writing club stories when i hear the words "writer's block"?) okay random jokes from Athrun. yeah this chapter? I don't know what i was drinking when i typed it.

Please Read and Review
