A/N: Hey ppl! Sorry this chapter took so long but EE/WL's/random TOK essays and presentation not to mention EXAMS (those who're doing full IB will understand my pain) kinda got in the way….but now I'm free! And I feel like writing! So I am ^^
So, despite being side tracked by Naruto and Hikaru no Go I DID get this chapter out (thanks to Lilas neechan and thanks to her betaing ^_______^) hope you enjoy!
Disclaimers: NOT MINE! But if you do feel like sueing please wait until after the 6th of July 'cos I'll be at Japan Expo that week end and then I will be honestly able to say how pathetically broke I am, snakyuu!

In The Time That Was Before
Chapter 2
"Wake up!" the words were followed by a cruel removal of the covers and the exposure of the sleeping man, namely me, to the pre-dawn chill.
"But I don't wanna!" I mean, come on! I've got my Cloth, I'm a Saint, I don't have any brats to train today, and I was spending a lovely _warm_ night with my love and he wants me to wake up. Doesn't that give me the right to be whiny?
"You have to train."
"Screw training."
"You'll miss breakfast"…said, of course, with that annoying sing-song voice of his. Come on, I'm not a kid anymore! I'm fifteen, ok?
"Screw breakfast"…said in the same tone of voice, I'm too tired and cold to figure how childish it sounds. "Gimme my covers back."
"No, you have to get up."
"Screw you." Oups, wrong thing to say. I open an eye…oh god, not that smile. I moan and pull the pillow over my head. "Don't even say it." That woke me up. Ha! This is sad…the prospect of being utterly humiliated by my lover in a verbal fight woke me up.
…I'll make sure that when I kill Cade it will be slow and painful…
"Seiya, wake up right now or I will personally kick you all the way back to Sanctuary and you will have to fight in your underwear!"
Well, at least he didn't say naked. "Why not naked?"…Oh sweet Lady Athena, I swear that one day I will learn to keep my big mouth shut.
"Because I thought that you wouldn't want all the trainees to see that hickey on your backside."
I swear I can hear him smirking, the jerk. "How thoughtful," I mutter into the mattress, pillow still over my head. Is it just me or does Cade sound more and more like me? Maybe two years of 'close contact' are the reason for that…that and the eight years before that too…
…Two years? Fuck!
"Cade! How long 'till summer starts?"
"Get up and I will tell you."
Shit. Oh well, nothing to do but abandon the bed and stumble into the kitchen.
"So?"
"Three days until Athena's Festival and then ten days until the solstice."
"Fu~uck"
"Watch you language young man! By the way, you realize that the sun is almost up?"
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, where the hell's my shirt?" See, Athena's Festival is the day of the beginning of the tournament to win the Cloth for those that can be won by fighting. The final match is on the day of the summer solstice, longest day of the year, s'pposed to bring luck to the new Saint or something.
As a Saint, especially one who won his Cloth that way, I'm expected to be there for last minute encouragements and training…like I said, shit. And where the hell is my shirt?
"Just take one of mine, they will probably fit."
Ok, fine, he's taller but I've got a bit more muscles, it will probably fit. Right, which shirt? The brown one, it looks more like my usual clothing. At least I don't have any trainees of my own. I would have been in trouble then. But apparently I'm still too young to be someone's master. I would have protested that Alex got _his_ first charge when he was my age except that…well, I really don't want the responsibility.
Although I have to admit that I will be rooting for Sarah. She's being trained by the Sagitta Silver Saint...and he has a bad tendency to dump her on me for "extra training" meaning he didn't feel like getting up in the morning. Sarah is such a sweetie! Well, technically she wasn't supposed to be allowed to train as a Saint since she's a girl but her twin brother was chosen to come to sanctuary so she pretended to be a boy as well so she could come train with him. It's a nice story but then someone discovered that she was a girl. It caused a heap of trouble for her and her brother but at the end she was allowed to stay under the condition that she wears a mask at all times.
Poor Sarah, she hates it…Well, I'll be rooting for her but I doubt that she'll get it. I can't see Lynx fitting with her. A Saint's name and their constellation always fit in some strange way. Like Aquilla Saint Alexander or Sagitta Saint Talos…or even Pegasus Saint Seiya. I can say it so I do, there. Lynx Saint Sarah just isn't it…That and I think that the Admis kid is closer to discovering the Cosmo. On second thought, Lynx Saint Sarah sounds really good!
This said, I'm done dressing and I sprint out of Cade's house. It wouldn't do to be much later than I already am. Most of everyone suspects that I got someone I go to in the village…well, I never let any of other trainees or Saints touch me so they figured that I found someone. Sarah thinks that it's romantic, Alex thinks it's cute an just about everyone else can't figure out why I'd go through all the trouble. I know that there's a bet on just who it is that I go to. I smirk. They will never find out.
Well, the moment I won my Cloth, right after the Kyoko's speech, they'd all figured out that I had someone, even if I didn't, at the time. It was funny really, I just stayed long enough to listen to the speech about my duties as a Saint and then I completely ditched the party and went to Cade instead. I jumped on him and kissed him square on the lips! I was so happy and it was just a sort of fluke on my part, not like I hadn't done similar embarrassing things in the past!
But then Cade sorta kissed back and things progressed thanks to hormones and what I later figured was pent-up frustration. Figures that we'd get together practically by accident. And that was almost two years ago. I never could figure out if we're in love or if it's just a wrapped friendship but it's our two years' anniversary in thirteen days and that little fact just makes life incredibly GOOD!
*~*~*~ to be continued
so? What did you think? Liked it? Hated it?
TELL ME!
Oh, and just so everyone knows, this was supposed to be out on the 13th of February for me'n Lilas' two years but life got in the way ^^;;
C&C more than welcome people!
Ja~
