Chapter 13
Cagalli was looking at her reflection in the mirror in her bathroom, black bags under her puffed eyes, red nose, dehydrated cheeks and a very messy hair. All she did these past days was cry and rarely sleep. How can she sleep when there was no Shinn to hold her or to look outside her window and find his bedroom light still on if hers isn't off?
She didn't expect it would hurt this much losing Shinn but what bothered her how could he leave without saying goodbye? That was the least he could do, they've been inseparable for quite a while. Was he sick and tired of waiting for her to come out and speak her feelings? Or at least tell him off?
When she wanted to tell him how she felt she came to find him gone! How lucky can one girl be?
"Shinn" she murmured his name as she splashed her face with water. Right this moment she felt miserable, her life couldn't be any worse. She has been avoiding everyone else telling them she's caught flu to get off her back about attending classes and not seeing much of her. But today she was going to attend her classes, she wasn't raised this way to give up on life so easily, to fail what she promised her mother but damn this hurt her more than anything else minus her mother's death.
"Shinn…fuck" the tears that kept streaming down her face seemed like an endless river. It was too much to bear these daggers that she felt piercing her heart over and over, his smiling face flashing repeatedly in her mind.
The blonde never realized that her feelings were this strong, she laughed a bitter laugh when she said "You don't know what you've got until you say goodbye"
Getting in her garments she grabbed her heavy bag and headed to start this new day.
Kira was walking in one of the corridors at GSD U, humming one of his favorite songs, one he always hears Lacus singing it. He smiled Lacus. They've been together since forever, his first girl, his first love his everything. The brown haired man was thinking about a way to propose to her, his hand felt the right pocket of his pants feeling the tiny box that contained that special tinier thing, one would fit perfectly around his pink haired princess's finger
Out of no where an empty can hit his head
"What sick bastard did that?" he yelled looking around at the almost empty corridor there was only his so called sister and apparently she didn't even notice him.
Kira was about to yell at her again to get her attention however when he saw the state she was in his heart sank. His sister Cagalli Yula Athha never looked this depressed in her life, it's been days since he last saw her but he called her everyday and she always sounded fine the complete opposite of what she looked to him
"Cagalli" he whispered walking to her, another surprised when she acknowledged him she didn't hear his loud voice but she heard his whisper. He shrugged it must be a twin's thing
His blonde twin plastered a fake smile for him
"Hi Kira"
"Save it for someone else" he told her and placed a hand on her shoulder "What the hell happened to you"
"Nothing happened and when you want to ask someone about that try and ask them nicely Kira" she huffed and turned her head to avoid looking at his violet concerned eyes
"Ok I'm sorry" he said "Can you please tell me what's wrong with you?"
Cagalli faced him with that annoying fake smile on her face "I'm perfectly fine…"
He glared at her "Cagalli…" he demanded
The said girl sighed "Shinn is gone…" expecting her to continue but there was only silence
"And?..." he tried to persuade her to continue
Amber eyes turned to look at him; they showed all the answers he needed to know. His sister was heart broken because of the least person he expected to do that to her and for no obvious reasons to him. There was something else in her eyes…
"You like him!" he asked surprised. Yeah sure they've been doing everything together and those weird looks but…
"No…" she choked, her eyes starting to get blurry "I love him Kira" a single tear strolled down her left cheek and she wiped with her sleeve immediately
"Cagalli…" shocked twin said
She ignored him and continued "I'm so stupid to let someone like Shinn slip away from me..." she sighed and rested her forehead on her brother's shoulder; Kira lifted his hand to caress her head
"I've never felt this way about anyone else…It's like he stole my heart with him and all I'm left with is emptiness, cold dark emptiness" she sighed again, holding back her tears
Kira hated seeing his sister like that but he wasn't good in these kinds of situations and he had no idea what to say to make it better for her. It wasn't like when they were kids she'd fall and he's kiss her booboo to make it better. He just hugged her closer to his beating heart and sighed
Cagalli smiled at how her brother was trying his best she lifted her head and smiled
"Thank you" she said softly
"For what" he definitely didn't do anything worth thanking for
"For being my brother" she kissed his cheek "Don't worry about me, I'll probably forget about everything by the end of the week. You know me" she shrugged
"Cagalli don't you want to talk about it?" he asked her concerned
"Not now, I don't feel like it" because she would cry and she didn't want to do that in front of her brother
"I don't feel like it" he mimicked her mockingly "Like I'd be settled with that" he put his arm over her shoulders
"Come let's go somewhere better than here" he pulled her with him
"But I…"
"I won't take no for an answer. I'm your brother for crying out loud. What good of a brother would I be if I don't know what's wrong with my favorite sister" he grinned
Cagalli chuckled at her brother's goofiness "As you say big brother but in an hour I've got another class" she leaned her head against him Shinn
The twins were setting in the empty auditorium as Cagalli told her brother what happened, his response was…
Kira chuckled after his sister finished, the blonde stared at him half angry half confused. He's been silent the whole time listening to her and now here he was laughing
"Kira" she wanted him to stop, she's already going through enough and he was laughing at her
He straightened himself and tried to hold back "God Cagalli. Are you stupid?"
"What" she put a hand on her hip
"What gave you the idea that he won't come back?" he asked her sitting down on a chair tilting his head up toward his only sister
"What do you mean?" she looked at him frowning trying to figure out what he meant
"I mean even though I don't know him for that long but Shinn isn't the kind of guy that would leave without notice and you know he studies here what I'm saying something important might've come up and he had to leave…" he explained
Her brother's words gave her a new hope I should've had more faith in him he's been with me all the time Shinn Asuka kept by her side and promised her, he did things for her no one else knows of except for Sting, her and him
Cagalli you moron she scolded herself. Her brother kept saying things but they were vague as thoughts of Shinn invaded her again, somewhat happier thoughts than earlier with a new found hope Kira gave her.
Cagalli bent down and hugged her brother tightly "You're the best brother anyone can have"
He returned her hug and smiled "I know" he said smugly
The blonde punched him playfully "Thanks" she said pinching his cheek
"Quantitaive starts in ten" he reminded her
"Shit! Say hi to Lacus for me" she yelled running out the auditorium
During Class
Yzak took a glance his blonde friend she looked miles and miles away, even though she never told him what was wrong with her, he knew very well what Shinn. The silver haired knows her long enough to know what she was thinking of but right now she needed to focus on this lesson (A/N: talk about being Yzak Joule XD)
So he nudged her with his elbow, she shot her head towards him startled she mouthed a 'what'
"Joule" their professor Neo got their attention "What do we do if we have two Penalties with the same value?" he asked him
Yzak cleared his throat and held his head high with a serious face "I don't know Sir" he replied, his blonde friend put a hand to her mouth to muffle the giggle that's Yzak for you
"Care to help him Miss Athha" the professor asked somewhat aggravated by her actions
"Sure Sir" she wasn't giggling but an irritating smile was plastered on her face "We choose the cell with the lowest cost" she answered confidently and she heard Yzak mutter a 'damn it' which almost made her snort
"What if were two cells with the lowest cost" the professor challenged her
"Oh that's simple we'll see which one has the largest capacity" she answered him again
"Very good Athha" he said satisfied with her answers "Now please pay attention"
They both nodded in obedience, Cagalli's hand found its way to Yzak's and rubbed it gently, he squeezed in return and the lecture continued …
That night
Cool breeze softly ruffled the curtain, Cagalli Yula Athha was tossing in her bed…trying to get to sleep again however how much effort she put into it, didn't work she's as a wake as an owl in the middle of the night
"Shinn" she sighed his name "Come back to me" then she heard tires screeching she pulled a pillow to her face. She didn't want any more noise the voice in her head was enough
"How much that would be?" she heard a faint male voice ask outside
Then what sounded like a car trunk was shut that gave an annoyingly loud sound
"Insensitive jerks" she muttered under her breath and dragged herself out of bed to close the window
Her steps were heavy lazy tired steps if I'm so friggin' tired why can't I SLEEP! Stupid dysfunctional brain as she continued insulting the thing inside her head, closing the window her eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing in the driveway of
"Shinn" her eyes widened, she felt adrenaline rush through her body. She was so happy to see him again, so happy that tears fell freely from her amber eyes
She rubbed her amber eyes not believing it. Was she dreaming? She pinched herself hard
"It hurts" she laughed to herself and without thinking she ran down to him. Her mind only the man her heart had yearned for, her eyes longed to see
The taxi driver drove off, Shinn looked at the bedroom window her room wasn't lit she's a sleep he smiled
The first thing he'd do tomorrow morning was to wake her up and see what's been going on. He was glad he was back, his aunt's husband is all better now, he left them in better shape than the last time.
He grabbed his case and went to his door fetching his keys…
Cagalli stood across the street the raven haired male back was to her, she smiled. A hand clutched at her heart and she followed it guiding her to Shinn
He didn't hear anyone coming up behind him
"Shinn" her voice was caught in her throat, she was only a few steps away from him. Her heart was beating rapidly against her heaving chest. Why was she so nervous!
Shinn thought he heard someone call him he turned around, dropped the bag when his tired ruby eyes met amber ones
Cagalli smiled "Shinn" she whispered, her voice was shaky
"Cagalli" his eyes lit up the moment he saw her standing before him
"Damn you Shinn" she ran to him, throwing herself at him. His back was against his door because of the impact
The blondes arms wrapped themselves around his neck burying her face, his arms found its way around her noticeably slimmer figure, he frowned for a bit she's lost weight
Shinn could feel the tears on his skin, hearing her sniffs. He caressed her back
"I missed you Shinn…" her breath on his neck "I missed you so much" she squeezed him tighter, he couldn't help the coughing
"Oh I'm sorry" she apologized withdrawing her arms from him both of them slightly chuckling
Shinn didn't let go of her, he wanted to hold her just for a little bit more. He wanted to make up for all the lost time. She looked at his gentle face, a hand cupped his cheek.
He closed his eyes feeling the warmth of her body and her hand again he kissed her hand
"You don't even know how much I missed you" he told her rubbing his face with her soft palm
She raised his chin and before he opened his eyes his lips were against hers, in a longing kiss. He was surprised but like he was going to turn this chance down, he pulled her closer to him and kissed her back more heatedly both smiled into the kiss
With that kiss Cagalli poured all her unspoken feelings, the taste of his lips was mind intoxicating another feeling swept her body, they broke their passionate lip lock
Cagalli looked at him again, a hand went to play with his black hair "I'm sure you've got a good excuse why you left" she told him raising her brows at him
He wanted to say something but she gave him a quick peck on the lips "Let me finish" she nuzzled his nose with hers. She missed doing that to him too.
"I don't know how to start…" she said, he kissed her right cheek she smiled
"I never knew my life could be so sweet until you found me" he smiled as he saw the sincerity in her eyes
"You're my sun that brightens up my darkest skies…you can imagine how dark my days have been" she closed her eyes, didn't see the guilt in his
"The only one I see when I close my eyes is you" she continued, she was telling him everything she felt about him, all those days without him and all those days she made him wait…
Shinn felt butterflies in his stomach was she finally going to tell him how she feels?
"I want you to be a part of me forever" she opened her eyes again, and caressed his cheek
He stared at her she wants to spend her life with him…
"I know I made you wait" she said when she saw a look on his face "But I love you Shinn" her eyes stared at his chest and her hand fell to her side
Did he hear her right? She said she loves him! Well idiot she did tell you she wants to be a part of you a voice in his head said
"Say that again" he requested tilting her head with his hand "I need to know if what I heard is correct"
"I love you" she said her eyes bore into him sending every feeling through them to him
"I love you Shinn…" she repeated again
Shinn's eyes sparkled; his head has a festival of all kinds of fire works. These simple three words he's been waiting for her to say and she finally did. And those beautiful eyes of hers showed how much she meant it.
He pulled her again for another passionate kiss which she returned happily and full heartedly…
