'Our Little encounter'
Within the cold liquid where Athrun dived to look for the blonde girl, was the normal fluid where the aquatic creature lived. And that now, was a mere memory from whom just waked up.
The eyes of the figure laying on the bed opened slowly to see the brown roof of the cottage. The room had a cosy and welcoming view.
"Cagalli your up!" exclaimed a pink hair who was sitting in a chair and immediately got up seeing her friend finally with her eyes open.
"I'm ok, Lacus" muttered the blonde trying to breath under her friend's hug.
"I'm so happy that you are ok Cagalli, you were worrying us like hell!" She finally free her and went back to her brown wooden chair.
"Sorry." Facing her sheets she asked to the princess, "what happened to me?"
"You don't remember," asked Lacus and with seeing Cagalli nodding she continued, "after you fell Athrun went to save you."
"Athrun, saved me?" she repeated trying to assimilate what Lacus said.
She was now using all her might to remember how it happened, the cold water appeared, the lack of air too, then a warm hold in her hand that soon met her all body, she had not opened her eyes when she felt that, she was feeling like staying like that for a good while, forgetting her surroundings of the freezing liquid.
She blushed.
Lacus giggled at the pink colour of her face. The blonde glared and tried to hide herself with a pillow. The other girl went to the door and suddenly she lowed down, a pillow hit the door. Turning around she said, "guess you are much better, change yourself and lets have lunch." She smiled and went outside.

"Luckily you were there to help her" a dark haired boy said patting the shoulder of the guy next to him, leading the way to her room where she was resting, they were just going to visit her knowing Lacus would take good care of her.
"Yeah," answered the boy kind of depress and sounding pretty tired, "but she still does not wake up." His vision was becoming blur, he felt like burning and with no energy, the hall they were walking was moving at his sight.
"Well knowing her she would be up anytime" the purple eyed boy said turning to face him and give him a smile in a way to say thanks again, but the green eyed was falling down. He quickly hold him up avoiding him to crush into the ground.
"Athrun! What's wrong! Wake up! ATHRUN!" he yelled at him already kneeled on the wooden floor, still holding his best friend who seem to have a high fever after lunching himself with no cloth in his upper body just to look for his sister when he was not around busy with Lacus. Some kind of guilt was rising in his chest, if he was there nothing might had happened yet now his sister was not awake to talk to her and his best friend was sick in front of him.

There was the dripping towel laying in the corner of the tray, that previously was on the forehead removed once it has got to warm to suit the figure resting on the bed.
The stare of a girl to the panting boy was somehow penetrating and worrying. She was not the only one upset about this situation, but according to the one in charge, she should be the one next to him, not because she was someone special, thought that might be true, but because she was the reason why he was there lying, suffering and with his breath running a quick pace. She was not proud about that but what else could she do right now? Considering it for a while, she conclude that that's was the best she could offer him.
She was now alone with him in the room made of wood, one of the cottage's near the mountain where they were skiing. The silence was not really comfortable after realizing they were alone in that room. Then he suddenly made a sound. Her eyes went immediately to him resting figure.
"Cagalli" he called weakly with his eyes still shut. Her eyes soften a little. 'He is still asleep.'
She got up from the chair that Lacus had been sitting when she was in that exactly bed, sleeping, to get the towel and dry some sweat from his forehead again.
"Cagalli" he called again while she was putting the wet peace of cloth on his forehead. She got close to see him carefully, eyes still closed, he was breathing heavily. His face didn't gave the exactly idea that he was suffering, it was hard to explain, she just knew she was sorry. That was her mantra 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Athrun.'
She spoke those words like a whisper, not thinking he would here them. Nevertheless he seem to heard it because his face eased somehow. She frown at the idea that he was up, acting like he was sleeping, teasing her; she was ready to yell but then something nothing like she would have ever imagined happened.
The eyelids rose to show disbelieved golden orbs. He had grabbed her and now holding her, hugging her. Her blonde locks brushing carefully his features, her cheek near the union of his neck and shoulder with her hands on his chest she even could feel every heartbeat coming from him.
"Don't go, Cagalli" he whispered but Cagalli did not hear it. She still could not understand what was happening.
She was so near him that she actually could feel his breath on her shocked face. The eyes of the young blue haired coordinator never opened. 'Still sleeping.'
'Still sleeping? That can't be true!' How else could he drag her to this! This awkward situation where she is laying right next to him and she did not know why!'
"Stay with me" he muttered at the same time that his hold became stronger.
'That It!' She started to struggle back under his grasp but wouldn't let go. 'He is definitely awake!' She was ready to hit him but his grasp would not let her move freely.
Athrun feeling that Cagalli was fighting back instinctly hold her even more. His grasp was strong but at the same time it was warm, welcoming and protective just like the last time. Her light pink blush disappear just to be replace by a vivid red colour on her face.
Time passed by, it felt like ages for Cagalli, now she was sure he was asleep, he looked serene, his lips curving a faint smile. She was feeling like staying like that for a good while, again. She smacked herself at the thought, she should be somewhere else! Not laying on the bed as Athrun, with Athrun!
She heard him speak in his sleep again, "I'll protect you, Cagalli, no matter what"
Then an idea came to her head. Feeling like he would not let go because he thought she was in danger, the only thing she needed to do was just tell him that she was ok.
"Athrun don't worry, I'm ok" her voice sounding gentle like wanting to calm a baby, her hands resting on his body.
"Cagalli" he was speaking softly her name once more. She led her head up to see him sleeping peacefully, his inhalation was calmer now, she stayed watching him for a little while longer and talked with a sweet voice to his left ear, "It's ok, you saved me." Finishing her sentence his hug became more caring and lovingly.
His arms eased allowing her to free herself slowly. Still difficult to think that he was asleep and done that. 'Was he really asleep or just pretending to be,' she asked herself, 'if he is, he's a damn good actor!'
With one foot kneeled on bed for support, the other was straight to reach the floor, she stepped on something that seemed to be a small bottle. By the surprise her eyes wide and let a quiet gasp go. She lost her balance and tripped, falling with a dry sound on the cold ground. Her eyes shut at the sudden situation as a reflex, now massaging her bottom that had received the hit.
The memory of Athrun came to warn her, she opened her eyes quickly to check if she had awaken him or something but nothing.
She stood up trying to not make much noise, giving a last glance at his figure, she turned to the door, walked in tip toe like a robber trying to escape.
An eye had opened revealing an emerald sphere enlighten by the sunlight coming through the window from his right covered with snow. The green orb following the blonde leaving and shut it again as she returned her gaze to the room and closed the door behind her. Now he had both eyes opened watching her exit, fixing his eyes to humid towel on his left and then to the tray on the table next to the bed on his left too. He smiled softening his eyes, remembering the energetic girl that had just left to let him rest.
'That was an strange dream' he told talking to himself, beaming. He move himself to sit on the sheets, his hands maintaining him to look out the window. He felt much better, 'I guess I just needed a nice nap,' he said massaging the back of his neck; a smell came to be recognise by his nose. He looked puzzle.
'It's her fragrance' He blushed recalling his dream, he was hugging her lovingly and she stayed there, her short locks caressing him enchantingly with her sweet breath under his neck, her small hands resting on his chest. Then he remembered her talking sweetly on his left ear that he saved her, he felt so good hearing that.
Grinning in joy he looked at the door oblivious at the girl standing right through it.
On the other side on the door, there was the owner of golden orbs, standing there alone with her head resting on the wood that separate the hall with the area she just visited. Her hands on her back supporting her like her feet. Her eyes staring to blank space on the ceiling, her cheeks coloured by a pink shade but after all her mind was empty. Thinking in nothing.
'I'll deal with the blush later' she said silently walking to the diner to get some food, the sound of her stomach was calling for some food.
Some meters away a pink shade hiding in the shadows of the turning hall was watching her carefully, the blur figure saw her blushing vaguely, and that somehow was a good sign for her. With that her plan would just go as she wanted.
