CHAPTER 4

"So then its decided well go to the beach first" said kira, as everyone else agreed.

They all went to their rooms and got themselves ready. Cagalli was having a problem though cause she didn't want to wear a bathing suit. Then lacus came into her room.

"Hey cagalli, you almost ready?" lacus asked. But then she noticed that she had nothing picked out.

Cagalli looked up at lacus. "Umm…Do I have to wear a bathing suit?" cagalli asked

"No, but you should"

"But I don't think I look good in one…" she said

"Nonsense, why would you not look good" lacus said as she went to her dresser and picked out a green two piece. "Here this one will look nice on you… and don't worry you'll look fine, its only going to be us four anyways" lacus said

"Umm are you sure"

"Yes im sure now you better get ready before we leave." lacus smiled and left before cagalli could say anything else.

Cagalli put the bathing suit in her bag and looked in her closet for something to wear.

'What should I wear' she thought to herself.

She took out a skirt and held it up. 'I haven't worn skirts in a while, there so annoying…but maybe I should wear it' she thought.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"CAGALLI come on what's taking you so long" yelled kira from down the stairs.

"HOLD ON CANT YOU WAIT!" yelled cagalli back "jeez people can't wait for anything" she said as she was going down the hallway

"Don't worry kira we have time" said athrun he was about to say something else when his attention got caught to the person coming down the stairs.

Cagalli was coming down the stair wearing a tight light blue shirt and a white skirt.

Kiras mouth was hanging open, 'she never used to dress this way' kira thought to himself

'She looks pretty' athrun thought and started to smile

Cagalli noticed that everyone was starring at her and she started to blush. "What are you looking at" she said frustrated.

"Nothing sis, you look nice" "but I thought you didn't like wearing stuff like that" kira said.

"So you're saying it doesn't look good on me" cagalli said even madder

"No that wasn't what I mean…" he started saying but was cut off by lacus as she went over to cagalli.

"Nice outfit, you look nice I really like the skirt" lacus complimented her.

Cagalli just blushed and stayed quiet

"Right athrun?" lacus said as she looked over to him smiling

Athrun looked up surprised because of the question. "Umm yeah" was all he said.

For some reason that made cagalli feel bad and she just looked down. "Well lets get going" kira said. Cagalli looked up and smiled "sure its been a while since I've been out" she said as they all walked out the door.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the beach it was nice and warm. Cagalli and Lacus went over to the bathroom to change into their bathing suites. While Kira and Athrun went to get a spot and fix the stuff.

"Maybe I should just stay like this" cagalli said unsure about wearing her bathing suit.

"Come on Cagalli, you'll look fine in it see" she said as she came out in her pink two piece.
"But…" cagalli said but stopped because lacus pushed her in the changing room.

"Now the only way you'll come out is once you're done changing" lacus said smiling

"Fine" was all she said. She came out dresses in her green two piece.

"Alright lets go meet the guys then" lacus said.

When they went out and found them. Kira saw them and he went to them. "Hey, you both look pretty" kira said as he hugged his girlfriend. Lacus just blushed "thank you"

Cagalli noticed that athrun was coming towards them.

"You two look nice." athrun complimented them. Cagalli just blushed and it didn't go missed by athrun.

"Well then lets go have fun" kira said as him and lacus walked past them leaving athrun and cagalli alone.

There was an awkward silence between the two of them and athrun said, "Well then lets follow them" and cagalli nodded her head.

They were walking side by side to each other when all of a sudden cagalli tripped and was falling to the sand.

It wouldn't hurt that much it is only sand she thought but she still let out a small yelp. She was surprised that she never touched the sand though.

She felt a pair of arms wrapped around her waist, she looked up and met a pair of emerald eyes.

"You okay?" athrun asked concerned.

"Umm, y-yeah I'm fine" she stuttered. Athrun realized that he was still holding her and there faces not that far from each other.

Cagalli started to blush and so did athrun but none of them made a move to get separated.

"Are you two having fun!' popped out of nowhere and said a little overprotective of his sister.

"Umm" was all cagalli said as she separated herself from athrun straightened herself.

Lacus noticed kira and grabbed his hand "hey kira come on" she said as she made puppy eyes that he couldn't resist.

"Okay" he said giving up "are you two coming with us" he said looking at the two not wanting to leave them alone.

"Yeah sure" said athrun as he walked by his friend.

Lacus and cagalli were walking a little more in front of them talking.

"So whats up between you and athrun?" asked lacus.

"What do you mean" she said trying to hide her blush at the sound of his name.

"Don't try and pretend I saw that little scene just a few minutes ago." she said trying to tease her. "Do you like athrun?" lacus finally asked

"I don't know" she started "he's a nice person I guess, and…"

"What?" lacus said as she wanted her to continue.

"I don't know when I'm with him, its different… no one has ever made me blush as much as he does… do you get what I'm saying" cagalli said to lacus

"Yeah I do that's how I feel with your brother… don't worry cagalli athrun is a very mice person…and-" she said smiling "I think he likes you too"

"But-"

"For real cagalli he's never been like that with a girl, he's usually a big flirt and gets whichever girl he wants… but with you it seems like he's actually trying to get you to like him even if it's just as friends."

"How can you tell so much when its only been a day or two" cagalli said disbelieving her.

"I know it hasn't been that long, but something just tell me" lacus said.

"What are you two talking about" kira said as he put his arm around lacus's shoulder

"Girl talk" she said and gave him a peck on the cheek and put her arm around his waist as they kept walking.

"Ohh… hey how bout that spot" kira said pointing to a place on the sand.

"Sure why not" cagalli said.

The set up their spot. "Lets play" cagalli said. Athrun took the volleyball. "Is volleyball okay?" he asked

"Yeah that'll be fun" kira said "so what are the teams" he asked

"How bout guys against girls" said cagalli

"Wouldnt that be too hard for you two" athrun said

"what! Just because were girls you don't think we can take you on!" cagalli yelled at him as she snapped the ball out of his hands. "Our serve" said cagalli as she went over to her side.

"That's not what I mean" athrun said to her.

"Just play" she said

"Don't worry athrun she's like that, always as hotheaded as usual." kira said

"WHAT did you say kira" cagalli yelled from her side.

"Um nothing" he said as scratched his head with a wide smile

They played for a while and the girls were winning, but I think the guys went easy on them. Lacus got tired so her and kira went to sit down. Athrun and Cagalli were still left playing.

"How bout we rest for a bit" said athrun

"No! I know you were going easy on me I want to see good or not" said the stubborn cagalli.

"Well that wont happen as long as I have the ball" teased athrun.

"Shit" muttered cagalli.

"What "athrun said teasing her even more.

Cagalli got mad and walked up to him she grabbed the ball but he wouldn't let go of it.

"Come on, I want to see what your made up of" she said as she tried pulling the ball away

"ohh so that's what you want to see… Ok ill show you" he said smirking.

"now that's better I knew you would under- WHAT are you doing put me down" she yelled at him when he picked her up bridal style.

"put me down now!" she yelled at him kicking her legs and squirming around in his arms. Since she was yelling so much and looking at him she didn't notice that he was walking towards the water.

"but I thought you wanted to see what I was made up of" he smirked and went in to the water.

"yeah but I meant in volleyball, NOW put me down"

"are you sure" he said smiling

"OF course I'm sure why wouldn't I b-be" she stuttered at the end when she noticed that they were in the water. "never mind" she said quickly as she wrapped her arms around his neck

"but I thought you wanted me to let go" he teased as he bent down a little to the water.

"yah! But not in the water" she yelled as she grabbed him even tighter

"but your wearing a bathing suit… you should be ready to get wet" he kept on teasing her.

"ATHRUN!" she warned him but was also blushing because of the fact of what she was wearing and him holding her like that.

"fine" he said noticing her blush. He walked out of the water but before he put her down he bent down to her ear and whispered "you know you really do look cute when you blush." what he said made her blush even more and he put her down.

Then Cagalli got an idea she bent down towards the water and started to splash athrun.

"h-hey what are you d-doing" he could hardly say as he was getting splashed

"That's what you get for almost dropping me in the water" she said as she kept on splashing him "and for making me blush" she added

"can I help it if I like to see you blush" he said as he tried to get closer to her while getting splashed.

"what?" she asked shocked at what he said and she stopped splashing him for a while

"I told you, you look cute when you blush so why is it surprising that I like to see you blush" he said

"s-still" she stuttered. "you know you technically haven't showed me what you're made of" she said as she started to run away from her.

Athrun chuckled at her childish behavior but found it cute nonetheless. He started chasing after her.

"oh so I see from the first time you haven't learned what I'm made of" he said as he got close to her, and was about to grab her but then she sped up and he missed her.

"nope I guess not" she laughed as he was chasing her "I guess you are pretty good… but still not better than me" she told him

"oh really" he said, he was getting really close to her so he grabbed her shoulder, cagalli got surprised and lost her balance she ended up falling and bringing athrun down with her.

Athrun ended up on top of her with their faced a few inches apart.

Cagalli felt someones weight fall on top of her, she opened her eyes and found that athrun was on top of her. She blushed at their position.

Athrun saw her blushing and smiled a sweet smile to her

Kira and Lacus were looking at them. Lacus just smiled at the sight of their friends.

Kira on the other hand got a little over protective. He was about to go over there but lacus got his arm.

"kira calm down" lacus said

"but-" he started

"no kira, let them be, you shouldn't interfere. I know she's your sister but if she likes him you can't stop her." she gave him a sweet smile.

"I know, but still" he said to her

"I know I thought about that too, but I think athrun actually likes your sister." "have you ever seen him be this happy with a girl…let's just see what happens okay"

"okay" he said. Lacus went to him and put her head on his shoulder.

Cagalli noticed his smile and it almost made her want to melt. She noticed that his face was getting close to hers, she wanted to pull back but her body wouldn't move. Like if for some reason it wanted to stay that way. Cagalli was starting to struggle with herself.

Athrun notices her uneasiness and decided something 'maybe I shouldn't force myself on her' he backed up and sat down next to her.

Cagalli felt him get off, she felt sad 'why am I feeling like this, did I want him to kiss me'

"Cagalli are you okay" athrun asked her when he noticed that she was zoned out.

Cagalli sat up and looked at him. "yeah im fine." she told him. "sorry about that" she heard him say.

"huh, oh its okay don't worry about it" she told him smiling.

Athrun looked at her eyes and noticed that they held sadness in them. 'whys she sad…maybe she wanted me to kiss her-" his thoughts were interrupted by kira and lacus who said that they should get going.

Cagalli stood up and went by kira and lacus

Athrun stood up and looked at the beach. The waves were crashing and it was a nice sight. He finished his thought by saying them in a low voice out to the sea.

"… just like I wanted to kiss her…" he said sadly.

"come on athrun" kira called out to him. Athrun turned to look at his friend and went with them back home…
