Battle For Love- Wait

Athrun continuously kept pacing back and forth outside the operation room. He was pacing back and forth so many times that it was as if the floor was slowly disintegrating under his feet.
"Why does it have to be Cagalli? She hasn't done anything wrong, so why does she have to go through all this?" Athrun angrily asked himself.
"It's entirely my fault. I should have taken better care of her before and this wouldn't have happened." Athrun said under his breath as he continued pacing and fidgeting with his fingers.
Just then the light on top of the doors switched off. The door slowly opened and the bright light beyond those doors radiated the entire hall. Athrun squinted his eyes to see through the blinding light.
"Will Cagalli be all right?" He quietly asked himself.

"Oi Dearka! You and Milly haven't visited me for a long time now." Athrun greeted.
"Yea, I'm sorry. We've been really busy lately." The tanned twenty-two year old man with wavy blond hair and glinted violet eyes apologized.
"Heh, now that you two are married now, I can understand if you forget about little old me." Athrun joked and playfully punched Dearka in the arm.
"Come on, you're making us feel bad." Mir smiled while holding Dearka's hand.
"So Athrun. How's...how's life?" Dearka hesitantly inquired.
"Well...ever since what happened two years ago, everything just seems to have gone dull." Athrun said with a hint of sadness.
"Athrun, cheer up." Dearka patted his best friend on the back.
"Let's not talk about me. How's the company going?" Athrun asked, changing the subject.
"It's doing fine, but not as good as when you were around." Dearka answered.
"Are you still doing...you-know-what kind of business?" Athrun questioned.
"Nah, after a while you left we decided it would be best to do clean business and throw away the past." Dearka reassured.
"That's good to know. Anyways how are Kira and Yzak doing?" Athrun asked.
"Work-wise they are even better then before, but Yzak somewhat turned into a workaholic. I don't want to be a gossiper or anything, but Yzak really has a problem with his love life. I mean he scared away every woman that got close to him just by giving them the death glare for five minutes straight. Kira in the other hand seems to be doing quite well in long distance relationships. I hear that he never even flirted with any women ever since he went out with Lacus Clyne. Can you believe that? They are having a long distance relationship and he never even flirted with a single woman since!" Dearka nearly yelled with disbelief.
"So you're saying that if we were having a long distance relationship, you would flirt with other women eh?" Mir said while she glared at Dearka and pulled his right ear with her free hand.
"Ow, ow, ow. Of course not me! I was merely making a comparison with unfaithful, pathetic and trash-like kind of men. You are the worlds nicest, prettiest, caring, understandable and lots more good words that I can't think of right now!" Dearka tried covering up, but wasn't doing a very good job at it.
"Hmph." Mir looked into the other direction.
"Okay if it will make you feel better, I Dearka Elthman swear on my life that I will never love or be with any other women-" Dearka half said.
"Or man." Athrun added while laughing at the scene.
"Shut up Athrun." Dearka exclaimed.
"Oh, so now you will cheat on me with men! I see what's happening now, Dearka!" Mir impatiently tapped her foot and crossed her arms.
"Ah! Okay okay then, I Dearka Elthman swear on my life that I will never love or be with any other women or man other than my wife." Dearka said while emphasizing on the words "or man".
Mir quickly changed he attitude and smiled at Dearka.
"Better." She said.
"O yea I'm going to visit Cagalli soon. Do you want to come with me?" Athrun asked.
"Sure. We were going to buy flowers here, but Milly insisted that we purchased them at Japan and take care of it until we arrive. She says it makes it more 'Special' I don't really see the point though." Dearka said which earned him a smack on the head from Mir.
"I know Cagalli would appreciate it if she knew." Athrun smiled as if everything was all right.
"Let's go. My car is just around the corner." Athrun stated.
The ride to Athrun's house was short and silent. No one really wished to speak. When they arrived Athrun greeted them with tea. He had some work to finish off, so left Dearka and Mir sitting for a bit.
"Nee Dearka, Athrun seems so down." Mir pointed out.
"You can't blame him. Waiting for two long years isn't something anyone can do." Dearka said.
The silence was broken when Athrun came downstairs.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Work just seems to catch up to me all the time. So shall we go visit Cagalli now?" said Athrun.
"Ya, let's go." Dearka said as he headed out the door towards Athrun's Toyota Sprinter AE86 Trueno and MR2 (A/N: I just love these two cars).
"Hey Athrun! Can we take the blue one?" Dearka yelled after making a hard choice between the two gorgeous cars.
"Sure." Athrun replied and took the keys to his MR2.
Dearka quickly got in the car after Athrun unlocked it. He was awed by the interior.
"I always wanted a MR2, but Milly didn't let me get it because she says I might do something stupid and unreasonable in it." Dearka sighed.
"You know, I can't blame her for doing that." Athrun nodded at Mir.
"You're against me also eh?" Dearka exclaimed while pouting like a little kid.
Both Mir and Athrun laughed at Dearka's childish actions.
This time the car ride wasn't silent at all. During the whole ride Dearka was non-stop talking about how nice Athrun's car was and begging to see the engine later.
Luckily before Dearka got the chance to tear Athrun's car apart, they arrived at the hospital parking lot just in the nick of time.
"The hospital is so scary." Mir whispered to her husband while entering the front doors of the enormous hospital.
"Sure is. I'm already getting the goose bumps." Dearka answered shivering.
When they were making their way to Cagalli's hospital room at least ten nurses, patients and a couple of doctors greeted Athrun.
"A lot of people seem to know you." Dearka commented.
"Yep, I guess after coming here a couple times a day for two years, I get to know a lot of people." Athrun replied.
Considering that it was a hospital they tried to limit their volume from low to none at all.
"Here we are." Athrun broke the thick atmosphere of silence.
He turned the doorknob clockwise and slowly pushed forward on the metal door. Athrun calmly entered, with Dearka and Mir hastily following behind. There lay Cagalli motionless on the hospital bed.
"Dearka and Milly are here to visit you." Athrun said to Cagalli knowing that she could not hear him.

A/N: Thought Cagalli died didn't you? I added more DxM this chapter, since I kind of excluded them for a bit. One more thing school is going to start, so I probably won't have as much time to work on this than usual, but I'll still update as much as I can.
I hear something about not being allowed to answer reviewer questions in the chapter, so I guess if you have any questions then email me or something.
Thanks a bunch to ritachi, ZGMF X-19A Infinite Justice, Kalinda, Kandida, gseedlover, asga, Cagalli Yula Athha, aznanim3-3y3s, IYGU, TotalAnimeGirl, Susan, hippy-violet, karen41, jenniferseedlover, koali alolao, lacus03, acidIc-paRadise, Ellie, and mariad for reviewing!
