Chapter 5- Lacus is inconsiderate?
Gomen, gomen…I didn't know what to put for a title so I just picked some random stupid one. Here is chapter 5…more OOC…I tend to make Kira and Lacus ooc cause I find them a little too serious at times…
To clear things up…cause some ppl were asking about this fic… Cagalli has no idea who Asuran is…the only thing that she knows about him is that he's a friend of Kira and visiting…also…Nicol is very much alive and they are all friends…its like 2 years after the war of Jakin Due, but none of the characters died…and everybody is friends with each other…but there will be conflict later on in the fic…Sorry for not pointing it out further…bow
Thank you for all your reviews! Love you all! On with the chappie!
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed…if I did Asuran and Cagalli will be together forever and so will Kira and Lacus…

The strong smell of coffee wafted through the beach house, and a pink-haired princess entered the kitchen, to find her boyfriend brewing the morning coffee. Her eyes furrowed as she approached him, looking around cautiously.
"Is Bartfield-san aware that you're using his coffee maker?" she asked, after giving him a peck on the cheek.
Kira froze, spilling some coffee beans on the clean table. "Uh…"
Lacus shook her head disapprovingly and walked over to a small cupboard and taking out coffee mugs. Placing them on the table, she paused to glance at the living room.
"How is Cagalli? I heard she had a slight fever last night."
"She's fine. Asuran's been with her the whole night." Kira said pouring the coffee in the mugs.
Flashback
"Kira!"
"Eh?"
"She's sick! Can you help me? I have no idea where she lives so I brought her here! Please!"
"Uh…ok…wait…who is she…?"
"Ara, ara…what's wrong Asuran?"
"This girl's really sick! I don't know what to do!"
"Hey she looks like –"
A hand clapped over Kira's mouth before he could finish his statement.
"You can put her in the living room, Asuran. There's a fireplace there. I'll be there in a minute."
Asuran bustled away, carrying the unconscious blonde to the room. Kira's eyes widen and tried to scream, but a Haro was stuffed in his mouth. Lacus silently warned him to keep quiet.
'KEEP QUIET! KEEP QUIET! HOW CAN I KEEP QUIET WHEN MY SISTER'S IN THERE WITH MY BEST FRIEND! BOTH OF THEM DON'T EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER!' Kira was yelling in his mind, pulling out the mechanical toy before it suffocated him.
End Flashback
Kira sighed and gazed at Lacus. She was quietly sipping her cup of coffee, obviously thinking hard about something. It looked rather serious from her silent behavior. Kira prodded her silence carefully.
"Lacus…what are you thinking…?"
Her head snapped upwards, blinking innocently at the brown-haired coordinator.
"Oh…nothing really…"
'Ok, something's definitely wrong…for Lacus to deny something so obvious to see…'
"Nothing?"
She nodded her head slowly.
"Is it serious?"
Lacus looked away, peering intently at the small paperweight on the table, as though fascinated by it.
"C'mon Lacus…tell me…"
She spun around, her light blue orbs staring at his dark-brown ones. They seemed to be full of fear, a rare thing to see in an usual cheery, excited mood.
"I….I…" Kira strained in to listen better.
"I….forgot to give Asuran-san a blanket!"
"…."
"How horrible of me!"
"That's it…?"
"That's it? That's all you got to say, Kira Yamato!"
"Um…yes?"
"I neglected my self-less duty to care for our guests! What if Asuran froze! What if he fell into the fireplace!"
"Wait, what does the fireplace have to do with anything?"
"Haro did it before!"
Kira groaned at the memory. One time, Lacus accidentally left Haro near the fireplace to get some cake. Returning to her reserved spot, she found a deep-fried Haro, twitching on the floor, repeating the same words, "Let's play…"
The Freedom pilot couldn't even sleep that night, with Lacus worrying something about "coming back to life" and "haunting her". He had to coax her into sleeping after burying the dreaded thing in the garden.
Once Lacus was fast asleep, the male coordinator dug up the Haro from its shallow grave. It was still alive it seemed, but repeating its death words. Right before hurling it in the ocean, Kira smashed it to pieces and lit it on fire.
"And you thought Asuran was a molestor…"
Coffee sprayed onto the table as Kira's purple eyes were the size of plates. Lacus wiped the coffee droplets with a nearby napkin.
"Well, how was I suppose to know it was him!"
Lacus rolled her eyes and threw the dirty napkin in the waste bucket. Then it hit her.
"Kira…"
"Hai?"
"Cagalli's not in any relationships…is she?" she asked slowly and carefully.
"SHE IS!" Kira yelled and started waving his arms wildly, demanding answers.
"They would look good together…"Lacus said thoughtfully, her chin resting on a finger, ignoring a chibi Kira crying in the background.

Asuran jerked awake at the sound of a high-pitched wailing noise coming from the kitchen. 'What the hell?'
Remembering where he was, Asuran quickly focused his attention on the sleeping girl on the couch. Feeling her forehead, the fever had died down and all she needed now was rest.
Just as he was about to leave, a hand grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down on his chair. Asuran looked amazingly at Cagalli, who was mumbling incoherently.
"Stay…"
Chuckling softly, he brushed aside a few strands of hair from her face. Her form relaxed and her eyes opened slowly.
"Andy?"
Asuran's face slammed into the carpet. His eye twitched as he thought, 'Andy!'
"Asuran. My name is Asuran." He said clearly, almost sputtering.
Cagalli's yellow orbs narrowed, and she sat up, surveying Asuran carefully. "Oh."
Before he could reply, Kira burst into the room, his arms flailing. The pair blinked as the Freedom pilot began barricading Cagalli with questions.
"WHO IS IT! DID HE STALK YOU! DID HE HARASS YOU IN ANY WAY! I'LL KILL HIM! WAIT! IS IT A SHE!"
Shocked, Asuran couldn't help but show a slight disappointment at what Kira said.
"You're a-?"
"NO!" Cagalli angrily replied before beating the crap out of her brother. Lacus swept in, holding a spoon and a bottle of medicine.
"Ara, ara… Cagalli, time for your medicine."
"YUCK!" the blonde Strike Rouge pilot stuck out her tongue in disgust and attempted to escape, but tripped on the carpet. Bracing herself for impact, she found that it never came. Two arms were holding her steady and thinking that it was Kira, rammed her fist in his stomach.
"Heh…how'd you like that?" she crowed in victory. Then she froze. 'Kira would've started complaining or crying by now…' Focusing on the person on the ground, it was not her twin, but a familiar blue-haired boy.
"Andy? Oh crap…I mean…Asuran?" She called softly at the figure.
Kira sighed and helped lift Asuran back on his feet.
"Asuran, meet my twin sister…Cagalli…"

(A/N: The chapter was mostly based on conversation between Kira and Lacus and some other stuff. I had to fill in the gap to what happened when they arrived at the mansion. Originally, I was planning to have Asuran know that Cagalli was Kira's sister near the ending of the fic, but… I couldn't keep thinking of things that'll get him to avoid Kira telling… so I sorta sped the process up. Please review!)
P.S. Ok…dat part when Kira's yelling at Cagalli and the "SHE IS" suppose to have an exclamation mark…so he's yelling questions at Cagalli and Lacus…but stupid quickedit changed it…
