Chapter 9-Love Rekindle
Kira and Athrun's Apartment
"Cagalli would you like some coffee?" asked Athrun, as he stood up and headed to the kitchen.
"Um... Ok." Cagalli looked up from her assignment papers.
She heard Athrun rummaging around in the kitchen and came back out a few minutes later holding two mugs. He handed her one mug which she accepted.
"Thanks" and she took a sip.
Athrun sat across from her and looked at his own mug. He had been meaning to talk to Cagalli about the incident but they have been avoiding the topic.
"Cagalli" Athrun tried to start the conversation.
Cagalli set down her mug and looked at Athrun.
"I've missed you Athrun" she leap of the couch and latch herself on to Athrun.
Athrun who was still holding his mug spill coffee on both of them. "Now look what've you made me do?" He held up the half empty mug. He set down the mug and then held on to Cagalli. "I've missed you too Cagalli. Let's make up. I promise to be careful next time. I'll never allow bad things to happen to Kira ever again. Forgive me this one time."
Cagalli's reply to him was a kiss on the mouth with full passion which he returned hungrily. When they broke off the kiss, they were panting for breath.
"You should go take a shower and change out of those dirty clothes" said Athrun looking down at their coffee stained clothes.
"Yeah, I should." She took off her blouse there and then. An action which surprised Athrun. "Maybe you would like to take it with me" she smiled slyly and headed to the bathroom.
Athrun's jaw dropped open. Cagalli was extremely inviting and he was tempted.
"Does this mean he is forgiven?" he wondered.
He got up and headed to the bathroom. The door was left unlocked and he could hear the shower running. He carefully stepped into the bathroom. Cagalli's head pop from behind the shower curtain.
"What's taking you so long, Athrun? Are you coming in or not?" she asked.
She held out her hand to him and he accepted it. He was drench while still fully clothed. Athrun pulled Cagalli into a hug. He missed her so much. To hold her once again in his arms was heaven.
"You forgive me?" he asked her.
"What do you think?" she questioned him back.
"Yes" he answered tentively.
"I know it wasn't your fault but I just couldn't accept it at that time. I wanted to blame someone for all that's happen. You were there so……." she trailed off.
"But this last month when we are apart from each other, I found that I'm always thinking of you." she help him take off his shirt and lip lock with him. Her hands descend and started to rid him of his trousers.
They stay in the showers for over an hour, appeasing each others pleasure. They then proceeded to Athrun's bed and continued. Their assignments lay forgotten on the table and their minds so filled with each other that nothing else mattered any more.

Lacus and Cagalli's Apartment
"Are you sure you want me to stay over Lacus. I can leave you know, after things settle down and when I'm definite that Fllay's gone." he sat on the couch.
"Kira, you remind me of the first time I invited you to stay over."
"You mean this is not the first time" splutter Kira clearly shocked with the information. "Lacus in the past, how far did we go into our relationship" a shade of pink appeared on his cheek.
"Um… let's just say you were my first" answered Lacus barely above a whisper.
Kira swallowed hard. He had no idea that he and Lacus were in such a stage in their relationship. It would mean Lacus would also be his first. (his eyes grew wide and blush furiously at that thought) He never even reached that stage of intimacy even back when he dated Fllay. Ok so he does fantasize about being with Lacus (who wouldn't, with Lacus's perfect figure) but never dream it would be so soon and what more was having done it before and forget about ever doing it.
He is not sure he is ready to bring their relationship to such a level. True as it maybe, in the past he and Lacus are at such a stage but here and now, he is not ready. To him he had just known Lacus barely more than a month but everybody around him is telling what a perfect couple they were before the accident. Lacus was understanding of his condition and agreed to take things slow and get to know each other slowly along the way. But this is too fast, staying over night….
"Kira, I've made up the spare room for you it's the third on the left and the bathroom is the second door on the right, if you need to use it" she called out, bringing Kira out of his thoughts.
"Ow... we're sleeping in separate rooms." He was happy and yet disappointed to hear that. "That was close. I'm thinking too much. Lacus is not that type of person. I'm so stupid to even think of that." Kira scolded himself.
"Ok. Thanks Lacus. I'll be a minute" he called out to Lacus.
He walked down the hallway and glanced at the walls. It was filled with photographs.
Photographs of all four of them hanging out, the two girls, each girl with Athrun and him respectively and pictures of Athrun and him. In the photographs, he can see that he and Lacus are very happy and close just like what everyone says. The pictures are filled with happy moments of their time together. He reached the room and peer inside. The room was not like the rest of the house decorated in pink and yellow. It was decorated in a mixture of blue and green. There were also two single beds, a cupboard, a dresser and a bed stand for each bed.
"Wow. You gals are sure prepared for having friends over huh?"
"Well since this apartment has three rooms, Cagalli and I wanted to share it with Mir but she had other accommodations so instead we kept as a spare room. So now this room is used to entertain friends like Mir, Luna or Meyrin when we have sleepover. Tonight, it will be you."
