It's Nothing.
Part Six: Follow Your Heart
The next day, Cagalli woke up and found Athrun, in bed next to her. Cagalli blinked. What happened last night? Why was she in the same bed with Athrun. better question why where they not wearing any clothes.
"oh shit" she whispered under her breath and gave Athrun a good kick off the bed. With a bang, Athrun was off the bed and on the ground with a couple of words that shouldn't be said in front of children. He got up and looked at Cagalli, his eyes widened.
"oh shit" he whispered under his breath. Cagalli tried to cover herself as much as she could.
"what happened last night?" Cagalli turned around not to look at Athrun, who got up looked for something to cover himself.
"I'm guessing, we got drunk" Athrun sighed putting on a shirt. Cagalli covered her face and whispered something.
"what?" Athrun looked at Cagalli.
"I'm taking a shower" Cagalli sighed, tired from all the thinking that she made trying to think back to the night. She got off the bed and closed the door behind her, leaving Athrun to walk out the door to make something to eat.
They ate without saying a word, and cleaned up a couple of bottles of wine.
"Lets say nothing happened last night okay?" Cagalli whispered as she put her hand over her head, she sat down on the couch next to Athrun.
"Yes." was all Athrun could say. For he was too busy trying to think without talking out loud.
Days slowly pasted after that night. They didn't bump into each other and was glad that they didn't. Rumors of a wedding for Cagalli started to fly around and many people had hoped that the person for Cagalli was in all his glory: Yuuna.
"you know what, Cagalli?" Yuuna walked into the her office, without knocking on the door. Cagalli didn't even look up to know who it was.
"that, you need to learn how to knock?" Cagalli whispered under her breath, but keep looking down to her papers.
"you can still change your mind and marry me, you know" Yuuna said proudly, walking up to Cagalli he took her hand and gave it a kiss.
"What does No mean?" Cagalli asked, putting away the finished paper work. Yuuna laughed and took out a box and opened it. Inside the box laid a ring, a wedding ring.
"Think of Orb, and think of it's people" He put the box in front of Cagalli and began to walk away.
"I'll leave it with you. I hope dearest Cagalli that you will wear it soon." With that Yuuna walked out the door, leaving Cagalli to pick colorful words too call Yuuna (a/n: I don't know why but I really wanted to write colorful words xD)
Cagalli opened the box and looked into it. In the middle of the ring laid a pink gem, too bad for Cagalli is that she hated pink, then she looked at the ring on her finger.
"should I?" Cagalli asked herself looking at the ring on her finger then to the box. She closed the box and put in away, hoping to never see it again.
Not longer then a day later, on a beach not far from a city and the beach there, standing was Kira, Athrun, Lacus and a couple of children.
"I need to talk to you" Kira said, his voice in almost a low whisper. Lacus looked at Kira then to Athrun.
"come on, lets go back inside" Lacus cheerfully laughed to the children who began to walk faster. Athrun saw them leaving and looked at Kira wanting to know what was wrong.
"Kira, what is it?" Athrun asked as the children where farer away, Kira stopped where he was walking and looked at water.
"Athrun, do you love Cagalli? Truly? As in a lovers way? Because if you do, you better make up your mind. Do you love Mia or do you love Cagalli?" Kira looked at Athrun, who looked away.
"Why, do you ask Kira? you know that I'm with Mia" Athrun asked Kira. Why was Kira asking him that? He was with Mia not Cagalli.
"Because Athrun, Yuuna asked Cagalli to marry him." Kira voice, was cold as ice. Athrun froze unsure of what to say.
"But... Cagalli wouldn't marry Yuuna, she doesn't even love him" Athrun said taking smaller steps to the house by the sea which Lacus and Kira where staying in until their cottage was rebuilt. Kira sighed and began walking with him. Now Lacus and the children where out of sight.
"She had lost the person she loved, and many people in Orb are getting restless that the Attha line is dying out. Cagalli was going to let me next in line if she never married but we all know that it would have worked out, so right now all the weight of getting married and having a child is all on Cagalli's back right now, so who says she wouldn't?" Kira asked Athrun putting his hand on his shoulder.
There Cagalli sat alone in her car, in her green gown thinking back to only a couple of mins ago at the ball.
"that bastard" Cagalli hissed under her breath before taking off her high heels, putting them aside, she started the car and drove away.
"Kira, do you really think Cagalli will marry someone like Yuuna?" Athrun asked for what it seem the tenth time.
"Athrun, think at times we know that Cagalli does the most stupid things, and before you say anything Athrun. You do some stupid things to." (a/n: like blowing up your Gundams. . . what a waste) Kira told Athrun before he could say anything. Athrun looked at Kira unsure of what to say then once he thought of something to come back at Kira for saying he did stupid things, Kira's mother called them.
"Kira! Athrun! Cagalli's here!" Kira's mother called to them. Kira and Athrun looked at each other and Lacus who was waiting for them looked at the both, worried.
"children, come inside for dinner!" she then called to then in, but they all ran up to Kira's mother and cried that they all wanted to see Cagalli first.
"okay, okay" she laughed.
"Yay! Cagalli!" they screamed running into the house as Kira, Lacus, Athrun and Kira's mother looked on couldn't help but laughing. The children loved Cagalli, every time Athrun came to visit them and if they didn't see Cagalli, they would question Athrun. They where not sure why the children loved Cagalli so much but most of the time they guessed it was because Cagalli would bring something sweet for them
"Cagalli, Cagalli!" They all cried as they ran into an old fashioned room, where Cagalli sat drinking something warm, there she sat still in her gown and her high heels next to her feet. Cagalli smiled at them and took out a bag and handed to them.
"Here you go" Cagalli laughed, they took it and all hugged Cagalli. Yup they where all in for the food.
"Thank you, Cagalli!" they all cried looking into the bag but Kira's mother took it out of their hands, they all cried out and looked at her.
"after dinner, Cagalli you will join us for dinner wouldn't you?" she asked Cagalli, as she gave Cagalli a warm hug.
"yes, If you don't mind, mother" Cagalli treated Kira's mother as if she was her own. Because Cagalli never truly had a mother, the one that she had died when she was young and Cagalli had never knew her and Kira's true mother.
"Cagalli, they only want you to come and visit is because you bring them something to eat every time, you know that right?" Kira asked as he walked into the room laughing. Cagalli walked up to Kira and hugged him.
"I know" Cagalli laughed, then she joked "I feel so used"
Then Athrun and Lacus walked into the room. Cagalli looked at Athrun then they both blushed and looked away, thinking back to the last time they met. Leaving Kira and Lacus to looked at them confused at why where they acting like this.
"Athrun" Cagalli whispered looking away.
"Cagalli" He replied back.
"Should I say yes?" Cagalli asked Athrun as they walked down the beach and the sun slowly set. Dinner had passed quickly and Cagalli didn't say anything so as dinner ended Athrun asked Cagalli to come out.
Athrun looked at Cagalli carefully after she had asked him, then Cagalli coughed and covered her arms, the gown that she was wearing was light, the wind was getting a little strong making the ends of her dress dance with the wind. He took off his white jacket and put it over Cagalli's shoulders, Cagalli was about to take it off when Athrun put his hand on Cagalli's but let go quickly.
"your cold" Athrun said slowly, Cagalli looked down. Tears began to slowly hit the soft sand.
"Cagalli"
"I don't want to marry him" Cagalli coughed, her head lightly hitting Athrun's chest.
"Then don't! Cagalli you don't have to marry him if you don't want too" Athrun put his hand on Cagalli.
"Athrun, its not that easy. A nation wants me too marry him."
Athrun felt strangely warm with Cagalli near him. He keep his hand on Cagalli not letting go.
"Follow your heart" he whispered looking down at Cagalli. who looked up at Athrun tears still covered her face, slowly Athrun took his hand and wiped the tears away.
"What does you heart tell you, Athrun?" her breathing hardened.
"My heart tells me to do this" and slowly Athrun moved in and kissed Cagalli softly on the lips. Not thinking twice Cagalli kissed him back. slowly she put her hands around Athrun neck and his around her waist.
They kissed slowly alone not knowing that Kira and Lacus was looking at them, sadly.
"it's nothing right?" Lacus put her hands on Kira's. he sighed.
"I hope so"
