You are My Sunshine
By: Nareiya
Summary:
It all began with a misunderstanding with the exchange gifts and it leaded to an emotional miscommunication. Please R & R! AsuCaga!
Chapter Three: Life is an endless waltz?
Cagalli's POV
I slowly open my eyes and the familiar warmth I was longing for the past night had disappeared. Strange. I thought he is supposed to be here but he was not. Maybe he went outside to catch a breeze of the morning December air but according to the wall clock, if ever it is accurate, it is already ten in the morning so much likely, you will get sunburn or two due to the heat.
I made my way to the bathroom and turned on the shower. I slowly took of my clothes and made my way to the shower but I forgot that I turned the shower on and I almost ( A/N: read the word again) almost slipped, I closed my eyes, afraid to break a bone or two from my back but something, well; rather someone did not break my fall but caught me right on my waist which helped me not to slip.
I opened my ever beautiful ( A/N: sorry Cagalli, I like emerald than your forever teary-eyed amber eyes) amber eyes, there I saw him. Yes, the man I am referring to is no one other than the great, dashing and most handsome person, Athrun Zala. For a moment there, I stared at him. Yes, I know we spent time together during work but now, his eyes seem so wonderful.
I noticed he was bloody blushing. He turned his head away and gave me the towel I forgot outside, "Here" he said and exited the bathroom. I wonder…why he blushed like that. It is as if it is the…WAIT, it is his first damn bloody time to see me wearing nothing! Holy…WTF, it is his first time! That is why he is blushing like that!
"Get ready for wrestling later ZALA!" I shouted as I took my bath and laughed lightly due to my little scene.
I rather heard him run outside the room and I just laughed louder in his reaction.
Again, In the AMNeo Café…
Normal POV
"Thank god it's Friday!" Shinn shouted as he removed his apron and neatly folded it inside his small shoulder bag.
Murrue sat on top of the counter and gave Shinn a rather thick envelope.
"Here's your salary and bonus," she said in a whisper and Shinn just nodded.
"Don't tell Mwu or Andy that I already gave your bonus or else they'll be jealous." she continued yet still in a whisper," By the way, your Christmas break starts today until January 2, again, don't tell that to the two old guys there."
Shinn had a clear site of Mwu and Andy fish fighting.
Yes, Murrue confiscated their dogs and cats and the only animal left in their café is two fishes.
He sighed, "They're forever crazy!" he then left the café smiling happily at the thick envelope. (A/N: this is just a part time job of Shinn…you know, working for the three of them.)
With Kira and Lacus…
"Ah, Lacus, do we really need to be the host of this year's Christmas party again?" Kira asked as he cut a rather hard carrot, "And does the carrot need to be this hard?"
Lacus sighed and took a seat at a nearby chair, "First, we need to have fresh vegetables at the cheapest prices available for financial reasons and second, do you want to remember what happened two years ago?"
"How can I forget?" Kira answered as he tried to recall the dreadful celebration…
Start of Flashback
"Ah…you guys, just hold on, the party will start for about five minutes! Got to go!" Cagalli then again entered the kitchen and dragged Athrun by the collar.
When Athrun and Cagalli were out of sight, then again, Yzak Joule burst, "What is ATHHA doing and why is ZALA helping that overconfident and good for nothing woman!"
"Ahem, ahem" Kira said purposely.
Yzak sat at the couch, "I just can't help it! Five minutes ago, Zala said that and now her!"
All of a sudden, Shinn stood and drag Yzak by the collar.
"What are you doing Asuka?" Yzak cried out, damn, his grip is definitely tough.
Shinn looked at him, "Don't you want to know what is going on? Well, will find it out together!"
"Let me go first!" Yzak yelled and Shinn let go of his hard grip, "Thank you" he was able to cough.
Shinn then opened the door and together with Yzak, their eyes widen, "WTF!" they yelled
"WH-what are you doing here?" Athrun stuttered as he covered the demolished oven.
Shinn and Yzak laughed out loud making Kira, Lacus, Luna, Meyrin rushed inside the kitchen and their eyes widen.
Kira fell on his knees and cried, "My present! The oven was my present to her and now…it is demolished!" he cried again.
"Anyone in the mode for Japanese?" Cagalli inquired and everyone just sighed.
End of Flashback
"You want that to happen again, Kira?" Lacus asked and Kira just shook his head.
He then continued to chop the hard carrots and sighed at that very dreadful memory and celebration. Mental Note: Never give any cooking appliances to Cagalli as a gift!
Back with Cagalli and Athrun…
Athrun was shaking in fear. Why? Remember the so-called scene before in the bathroom? Well, now Cagalli finished taking a bath and is now in front of Athrun who is sitting on top of the bed.
"Hi Cagalli!" he managed to squeak out of fear.
She sat beside him, "You've been a bad boy and you're going to receive your punishment now…"
"Uh-oh," was all he said as he felt his cheeks sore from her ever-tough pinch.
"That's all?" he asked and received a kick to his you-know-what-part.
She nodded, "Next time, you'll get that as your Christmas present."
"Yes ma'am." He replied when she left the room.
In a Dark Room…
"Ms. Haww, have you done the case study that5 I have requested from you six months ago?" a man with clasped hands asked the blonde woman, Miriallia Haww.
She nodded, "Yes sir and here is the data that you need." She gave him a CD and he gave her in return a rather thick envelop filled with cash.
"Thank you Ms. Haww and remember, do not speak of this to anyone." He reminded her and she left the room.
The man smirked, "My son, it has been fourteen years since our last acquaintance." He then looked at a picture of a blonde girl with her arm entwined with a blue-haired man, "have you already forgotten me, Alexander?"
He then tear the picture into two and kept the part where the blue-haired teen smiled happily.
Things will begin to change.
It seems that life is like an endless waltz. It is inevitable to stop for each one of use has a part to fulfill. Specifically the blue-haired teen smiling happily in the picture.
End of Chapter
Author's Note:
Yes! Another chapter done and it took me an hour and a half to finish and think of this chapter!
My apology and special thanks to ritachi. Yes, I again watch GSD episode 21 and Shinn gave Stellar a shell not a pearl. Sorry folks because I got it mix with the story "The Pearl" my book report during the second quarter.
The guy who will soon enter Cagalli's life is not Ahmed but our own dear...nah, why would i reveal it to you guys! The thrill and excitement will disappear if I do that! One clue, not Ahmed, not Yzak or Dearka. He's just simple and...just simple, just stick to that!
If my summary doesn't help you guys, all I can tell you is just go on reading because I have this thing that my fingers have their own mind. You guys get it? So please bear with me.
BTW, have you guys heard of the upcoming Gundam Seed Eternity. I heard that Athrun made a faction called eternity. I also heard that Kira and Lacus got married first then Cagalli and Athrun and lastly, Miriallia and Dearka at PLANT. I don't know if this is genuine info people but that is what I read from some forum is the net.
I kind of read that it has been airing in Japan
but...I don't know! Gundam Seed Destiny hasn't been airing in my place
yet so I'm just buying Japanese dubbed version in anime stores so
forgive me if sometimes I kind of misinterpret some details in
flashbacks in connection with the series.
Well, if anyone questions, add it in your review so that I can answer them in the next chapter!
For all people supporting this fic, my thanks to you!
