Heyyoz peeps! I am so sorry this chappie took so long to come up! But I had my basic training camp and my exams so I really had little time to type and think about this chapter. Yah. This chapter is really long and really boring and really lame andit has a quite weird ending… but I really have no idea what to type… yah. So sorrie!
Okay… before I begin I'd just like to say a big Thank You to all those who reviewed me… they really push me to type to get more reviews… haha.
Once again… I don't own Gundam Seed duh disclaimer… must always start with at the beginning of every story. Okay we are all clear… let's begin!
Hmm... sorry the previous version of the chapter had some errors... yah. But it's ok now! So sorry!
Chapter 6- I don't wanna be alone anymore
After the freaking court session, Cagalli and Athrun decided to go for dinner. Athrun, even though he said he wanted to 'start anew', was still in a mess. A big mess. Dinner was at Cagalli's house. Menu: Pizza and Pepsi. Venue: The balcony. Sitting down on the small step that led to the balcony. How romantic.
"Don't you think it's weird?" She began the conversation after finishing her pizza.
"Huh? Oh… yah," Athrun still didn't look up from his pizza, so Cagalli bent down to look into his emerald eyes.
"Athrun… it's okay, let go of the past! That Lacus was probably like, nothing at all, two-timing brat," Cagalli put an arm around his shoulder.
"She's not a two-timing brat, Cagalli. It's just… it's just that…" Athrun looked up into the stars. "I'm a boring person, that's why she got sick of me."
"Shut up, Athrun! You are so not boring and that's why we're best friends! That's why I'll always stick by you no matter what!" Cagalli pulled him closer, and messed up his hair.
Athrun ran his fingers through his hair and smiled. He felt really wanted and loved by Cagalli. That's really all that matters.
Cagalli's POV
Okay, someone please tell me what to do now. I think I wanna die out here already. Here I am trying to comfort Athrun and there he is crying his life away. THIS SO SUCKS! I have tried hugging him, changing the subject, insulting Lacus, teasing him, what else? Kiss him?
NO WAY! I KNEW IT! I DID FREAKING SAY IT OUT LOUD!
Quit blushing, you idiot! "Like as in… what like? Friend like? Or like… love like?"
I swear my face looks so damnned red, it might even look like lava.
"Love like," Athrun looked into my eyes and I just wish I am dead when he said those words.
So the best thing to do is to make a strategic withdrawal.
"I… I'll go throw away the pizza," I picked up the empty box and the empty Pepsi bottles and went out of the balcony. And that was when he hugged me.
So there I was, blushing madly and all that. And he was hugging me… oh my god I could hear his heart beat… and he told me that I was like a sister he never had… and that he really liked me and all that…
Oh well. He was really cute when he blushed and yah… but right now I am single! Haha! Well, I don't know why I thought of that but… oh well… he's in the loo right now. Then he's going home. And I'm going to be all alone, just like yesterday…
And the day before…
And the day before that…
And last week…
"Cagalli,"
My head jerked up automatically.
"Huh?"
"I'm going home. Take care of yourself, okay?"
"Uh-huh." Somehow I didn't want him to go. I don't want to be alone… and I want to think… hey! Yesterday I didn't live alone, I was with someone! Okay… stupid I know but oh well, I am lame.
And as I watched him go, I knew I was going t be alone. And as the door slammed shut, I just wanted him to come back. But I know that that would never happen.
So, what was there to do? Sleep. Duh.
But duh I couldn't sleep. Thinking about Athrun being sad just couldn't let me fall asleep. I grabbed my handphone and scrolled down to the contact list to his name. Actually, that wasn't even nessacary. Duh. His name begins with an A and duh his name is first on the list.
So I called him.
"Hey. Miss me?" The soothing voice of Athrun.
"In your dreams, Zala!" Hey, at least I knew that he was okay.
"Then why did you call?"
"Hah! Just to see of you are not crying!"
"Shut up! I am not!"
"Yes you were, softy!"
"I am not soft, idiot!"
"Then what? You're macho?"
"Shut up!"
"Make me!"
"Dirtface!"
"See if it has dirt!"
"I bet it has!"
"Come here and see for yourself!"
"Fine!" What? He's coming?
"Huh? You're coming?"
"Yah,"
"Why? You feel lonely?"
"Like you won't,"
"Duh I will,"
A pause as Athrun turned the car around.
"You are really coming?"
"Yes,"
"Fine I'll get ready the guest room,"
"Thanks, Cagalli,"
"You're not welcome,"
And I hung up, grinning.
Normal POV
Athrun came about 8 minutes later.
"Wanna watch a movie?" Cagalli held up 2 DVDs.
"Okay. Let's watch that one," Athrun pointed at the one in her right hand. Cagalli nodded and put it in.
(A/N: What to type? What to type? What to type? What to type? What to type?)
The movie was damned boring, trust me, coz Athrun started to fidget in his seat and Cagalli started to nod off.
"Cagalli do you like me?"
Cagalli woke up like, immediately.
"Huh?"
"Do you like me? As in more than a friend?"
Cagalli blushed madly.
"Hah! You look really cute when you blush,"
"Athrun, I don't want to talk about this, okay?"
"Haha. We seem to be… closer than before don't you think so too?"
The girl blushed. Her whole face was red like as though she had run about a darn long distance in just a few minutes. She thought about all those times of being together as best friends. She did not want love to 'blossom up' and make her lose a good friend.
"Athrun, I don't want to think about it!"
Athrun looked taken aback at these words. Then his facial expression changed, and he gave her a hug.
"Cagalli, I love you. I knew that I loved you since Lacus was shot. And when you said… that if I wasn't engaged you would've fallen for me… I really took those words seriously. Cagalli… I really love you…"
He pulled her closer, and all Cagalli could hear was his heart beating…
Dub, dub. Dub, dub. Dub, dub. Dub, dub…
Okay… that was chapter 6. I plan to write about er… 20 chapters? Hopefully I can achieve my target… Hmmm… next chapter up will be… Chapter 7 Graduation.
