A/N: A fic in dedication of Christmas and New Year. Have fun reading! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, mina!
Disclaimer: I won't be writing fics if I owned Gundam Seed/Destiny, I'd be making more sequels to the anime focusing on Athrun and Cagalli.
"Snowflake"
Stellar sighed "Cagalli, this is Shin's older brother, Athrun"
Cagalli faced Shin's brother "Huh! He… He… He's the one… from my dream…"
"And Athrun, this is my sister, Cagalli" Stellar told Athrun.
And Athrun noticed Cagalli. "Hey, she looks like the girl from my dream!"
"Um, it's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Athha." Athrun greeted as Cagalli extended her hand for them to shake.
"Likewise, Mr. Zala" Cagalli greeted as she shook hands with Athrun.
"Oh, stop with the formalities you two!" Stellar said playfully. "This isn't a business meeting! In fact, this has nothing to do with business!"
"Yeah, you two are too formal" Shin said playfully like Stellar "Almost being like KJ's!"
"Hey!" Athrun and Cagalli chorused angrily at their younger siblings. But Shin and Stellar pushed them in the dinning room.
Stellar forced Cagalli to sit across her, making Cagalli sit beside Athrun. Cagalli who didn't want to embarrass herself didn't argue back.
"Myrna, would you please bring in te food?" Stellar asked kindly.
"Certainly, Ms. Athha" Then Myna clicked her fingers and a few dozen of maids each brought a plate and set it all on the table perfectly.
Then the maids, including Myrna, went out of the dinning room.
"Well, let's eat!" Shin said as he selected from the different selections of food that was in front of him.
"Don't pig out, Shin" Athrun joked.
"Shut up!" Shin argued back at Athrun "I'm my own person! I can eat as much as I want when I want!" Then Shin sticked his tongue out at Athrun.
"You are such a kid!" Athrun replied.
Stellar giggled and Cagalli joined in the conversation.
"Well, Stellar's the same as well." Cagalli told Athrun "She's such a kid"
"I am not!" Stellar argued back in a sweet voice.
"Please, you can't even handle a three hour meeting" Cagalli teased.
Ooh, did dinner time just turn out as a battle of siblings?
"It was a boring tree hour meeting" Stellar said emphasizing the word 'boring'.
"You tell me," Athrun replied to Cagalli "Shin always gets late during a meeting and falls asleep during the meeting"
"It's not my fault meetings are boring!" Shin whined.
Athrun ignore him, since e was talking to Cagalli about how childish Shin could be and Cagalli was talking to Athrun about how childish Stellar was. And that they both agreed that if their companies were to be handed down to Shin or to Stellar the company would get bankrupt.
"Well, at least they agreed on something" Stellar whispered to Shin.
"Yeah, degrading us" Shin replied.
A few minutes later…
"So, Stellar," Athrun asked "What's the theme for your wedding Shin? I could hear him sleep talking about your wedding every night. He mutters something like I do."
"Can we please change the subject!" Shin yelled with his mouth full.
"Don't talk when your mouth is full" Stellar reminded Shin.
Shin swallowed is food "Why must you always tease, mock or embarrass me?"
"Because it's my job as your brother!" Athrun said mockingly.
"You are mocking me!" Shin glared at Athrun.
"Well, it's goo that you're engaged with Shin, Stellar" Cagalli said "You two won't argue a lot because the both of you just act the same, a bunch of six year old kindergarteners"
"HEY!" Stellar exclaimed at her sister.
For the rest of the dinner, Athrun and Cagalli talked about how childish their siblings were an about business. Shin and Stellar sulked in their seats as Athrun and Cagalli continued on talking about them.
After dinner, when they all stood up, Sin and Stellar forcefully pushed Athrun and Cagalli into the living room.
Stellar and Shin pushed them into the 'love-seat couch, you know a couch wherein only two people could occupy.
"Why don't we play some cards to kill time?" Stellar asked.
"Yeah, why don't we?" Shin said.
"Well, sure…" Athrun said then taking a quick glance of Cagalli at the side of his eye "If that's okay with you…"
"Oh? Me?" Cagalli asked "Sure, its fine…"
"Good!" Stellar said getting the cards from a drawer "I'll be the one to pick which game were gonna play!"
"We're gonna play that whatcha-ma-call-it card game!" Stellar said cheerfully.
The remaining two just sweat dropped at her.
"How on earth are we gonna play the game if we don't know how to play the game" Cagalli complained.
"Don't worry!" Stellar said waving her hand "Shin and I know how to play it, we'll teach the both of you!"
Athrun and Cagalli nodded in approval.
"I'm the dealer and the game goes like this" Stellar explained "I'm going to give four random cards to each player, and I'll get one random card from te deck and let everyone see it"
"Example, it's a diamond, we all have to put one of our diamond cards down" Sin said "And if you don't have any diamond cards you get a card from the deck until you get that diamond card, do the two of you get it?"
"Yeah, a bit…" Cagalli said "How about you, er… Athrun?"
"Yeah, I get it a bit" Athrun replied "Let's play"
Stellar shuffled the cards and gave four random cards to each of them.
"Oh, and before I get to mention" Shin said "Who ever losses in each time a card is thrown then he or she has to do truth, dare, double dare, make it perverted, or maroon in a barn"
"What!" Cagalli exclaimed "Unfair! Athrun and I are only beginners!"
"Are you acting like a sissy, sissy?" Stellar teased.
"Urgh! Fine then!" Cagalli said accepting the challenge "Bring it on!"
Then Stellar got one card from the deck and sowed it to everyone, it was a 10 spade.
Shin placed down a 5 spade, Cagalli placed down 9 spade and Athrun placed down a 3 spade.
Stellar didn't have any spades on her hand so she had to get a card from the deck until she got a spade. She got five cards from the deck till she got a spade.
Stellar placed down an Jack spade.
"I win!" Stellar cheered.
"Athrun, you lost!" Shin teased.
"Eh?"
So, what do you pick big brother?" Shin asked "truth, dare double dare, make it perverted or maroon in a barn?"
"Truth" Athrun answered.
"Hmmm, I know your whole life…" Shin thought loudly "There's nothing I don't know about you…"
"AH!" Shin exclaimed "I know! What was your other reason for expelling Mia from school many years ago aside from the fact that she kept secrets behind your back?"
"It was wrong of her to be a slut in the first place" Athrun said "And at the age of fifteen"
"Okay, next round!" Stellar said enthusiastically.
"Boy, was he that harsh?" Cagalli thought "Oh, wait! I did that before too! Stupid!"
"Since I won, I'll pick which card I would throw!" Stellar said. She and Shin exchanged glances before Stellar threw a card down for them all to see.
Stellar threw a 2 heart. Then Shin threw a Queen heart, Cagalli threw a Jack heart and Athrun threw an 8 heart.
"I lost?" Stellar acted sadly.
"So, what's it, Stell?" Shin asked "Truth, dare, double dare, make it perverted or maroon in a barn."
"Double dare" Stellar answered.
"Okay, I dare you to stay in that closet" Shin pointed at a closet "with your sister until I say so"
"Athrun, I double dare you to stay in that closet that Shin just pointed with my sister" Stellar smiled.
"WHAT!" Athrun and Cagalli yelled.
"Isn't that supposed to be maroon in a barn?" Cagalli asked.
"Yes, but it could be a dare." Stellar explained "And a double dare means that Shin will dare me to something and I can let someone else do it for me!"
"Move along, Athrun!" Shin joked.
"But---" Athrun was cut off by Stellar.
"No buts!" Both Stellar and Shin pushed Athrun and Cagalli in the closet and locked it shut.
"Okay, so we leave them there until when?" Shin asked "Until morning?"
"No, just until the movie ends" Stellar joked.
The couple laughed, this was payback for dinner. And it was also part of their plan.
Inside the closet…
"It's so stuffy in here!" Cagalli complained.
"You know, even if you keep on complaining it won't change out situation" Athrun told Cagalli calmly.
"You know this is your entire fault!" Cagalli pointed an accusing finger at Athrun.
"What?" Athrun was bewildered "My fault?"
"Yes! If it weren't for you to agree on playing cards" Cagalli wined "We wouldn't be in this mess!"
"You were the one who accepted the challenge!" Athrun argued back.
"Who wouldn't when you're being called a sissy!" Cagalli yelled in anger, her cheeks flushed in red because of her anger and because she was just too near Athrun.
"Let's just drop this," Athrun said "They won't leave us here until dawn, they're not that cruel"
"Humph!" Cagalli pouted.
Athrun stared at Cagalli and noticed that she was red on her cheeks and to him; she looked really cute especially with her pout.
"Boy, she looks cute. I never knew that, I guess you can only see that you look at her clearly" Athrun thought "She tries hard to act all confident and all, but I wonder how would she act if didn't--- What in the hell are you thinking, Zala! You can't be dumb enough to fall for a girl again!"
Athrun kept on thinking about Cagalli that he didn't notice that he smiled. Cagalli noticed him smile…
"What's so funny?" Cagalli asked hotly.
"Nothing…" Athrun lied.
"Liar!" Cagalli yelled.
"I'm not!" Athrun replied.
"How come I have to be stuck with this sore loser in the first place!" Cagalli thought "But you have got to admit, he looks cute when you get up close--- NO! Don't think of that, Athha! He's an annoying maggot! Don't even dare to like him! He'll be just like the rest!"
An hour later, they still weren't out of the damned closet. And Cagalli was getting drowsy. Cagalli tried hard to stand up an not fall asleep but she failed.
Her feet failed her, and she fell on her knees. That is, if Athrun wasn't there, Athrun caught Cagalli before they'd end up in a more difficult position. He helped her stand straight.
"Hey, are you okay?" Athrun asked.
Cagalli yawned, she was too sleepy already. She didn't get much sleep last night and she wasted er energy standing up.
"Damn, must she fall asleep at a time like this?" Athrun said to himself. "Those two won't believe me if I told them Cagalli fell asleep, oh, how can I get out of this mess!"
Athrun thought and thought and then he stared at Cagalli. And all his thought of escaping this situation disappeared.
She looked so calm and angelic as she slept. Athrun couldn't help but smile at her. He forgot about their current position, that he was holding almost hugging Cagalli so that she won't fall.
Athrun accidentally began to think of horny thoughts, but he fought it all. He couldn't be that stupid after being experienced with three unlucky relationships before.
He caressed her cheek with his thumb as he continued on staring at her sweetly. And without knowing, his face was slowly leaning forward to Cagalli's.
Cagalli stirred in her sleep and her eyes bolted open finding two emerald eyes staring at her.
"WHA!" Cagalli exclaimed as Athrun leaned his head back.
Cagalli noticed their current position and blushed.
"What were you trying to do?" Cagalli asked Athrun loudly.
"Nothing!" Athrun replied "You suddenly collapse but fortunately you only fell asleep! But we still aren't out of this mess!"
Cagalli blushed even more. Then she banged on the door yelling for Stellar to open or else she'd do something really bad to her.
Shin and Stellar didn't fall for it and just continued to watch the movie. Then thirty minutes later, the pounding died down and the yells.
"Hey, do you something happened to them?" Stellar asked worriedly.
"Like what?" Shin asked "Aside from actually falling for each other and making out half naked?"
"Shin! Quit joking! What if something bad happened?" Stellar said worriedly.
But they shook that thought out, but a few minutes later, they unlocked the door.
"Never do that ever again!" Cagalli yelled at Stellar.
Cagalli walked slowly to her room but she fainted on her way to the stairs.
"SIS!" Stellar ran to Cagalli.
"Cagalli!" Both Shin and Athrun chorused as they went to her.
"Oh my God! Cagalli!" Stellar said worriedly.
"Let's take her to her room!" Shin suggested.
"Okay," Stellar and Athrun chorused.
Athrun carried Cagalli bridal style and was accompanied by Shin and Stellar to her room. Athrun laid Cagalli on her bed, then Athrun apologized to Stellar about everything that happened and he and Shin went home.
