I was driving along 16th avenue… It was my "free day".

I told everyone that I'd have a day-off. No conferences, no meetings, no shaking with other politicians' hands…no media.

I'm alone. But I wont be for long…because I'm going to see him…

He seems to be surprised upon receiving my call. I knew it. I knew everything about him, I guess. Even the slightest movement of his lips… suggests something, only I could comprehend. He as my biological brother…but that wasn't the only thing that binds us. I knew it. I always did.

And now, out of the blue, I started packing my bags- driving towards his place.

(Flashback)

We were talking about our broken relationships. I was lying on his bed. I always do this- sleep with him when I miss someone to talk to… or when I want some male figure beside me…yeah- pretty twisted.

I was surprised when he held me close. I closed my eyes- anticipating a kiss. But he didn't do anything. Then the stupid words came out- I miss Athrun.

He cried with me… I wasn't sure for the reason of these tears.

(end of flashback)

And now, it seems like it's the two of us again.

I wanted to see him. It's been three months. I bought some tequila – I know he loves this. We will drink, and cry until we're both sore.

The two of us, victims of the past conflict that befallen the world. We managed to save it…

And when everything's over, it's our lives that need to have stitches in between.

We're barely functioning- shredded into pieces.

The streetlights were blinding me. They are distant, such as the love that I once had. But now, it has become clear that the distance between two hearts that never understand is farther than the distance of two people separated by worlds.

How I feel for Kira… will remained that way- as far and as intangible as the stars.

I'm quite nervous- I don't know how to face him. But as soon as I dialed his number, I know I began to let go of my pride, or my sanity. Whatever happens tonight, may ruin our platonic relationship, but I will gamble everything that I have…

(End of reflections)

Cagalli was waiting for the door to open. She was holding to plastic bags, one with some Japanese food, and the other with tequila.

The door opened. The lights inside started to illuminate her eyes. He was in front of her, wearing a warm smile.

She took a deep breath, and stepped inside.

( I did this out of some desperation to get some sleep. sorry if its short and somewhat "hanged")
