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!
A/N: for all those who reviewed from the start or just last chapter, thank you! Yes, the stand still cam from the show Please Teacher. I forgot to mention that last time. Sorry. Anyway, stand still is a sickness, rare to be exact. It happens to people if they are too much emotionally depressed. Example, Kei Kusanagi, before he was so emotionally depressed and it resulted to a three-year stand still. In a stand still, a person's physical change, for example; a person's growth and other stuffs cease. His breathing and the beating of the heart stops. Its kind of you're almost dead but actually you aren't but the time of waking up of the person suffering from this rare sickness cannot be determined.
Wow, just like a doctor's explanation! Anyways, please enjoy this chapter!

Chapter Six: The Dreadful News
Everyone, meaning Yzak, Dearka, Cagalli, Shinn, Kira and Lacus are now seating at Orb's General Hospital's lobby and most of them, sighing.
Shit! Was all the blonde princess can say inside her head. If she have not done it with Shinn (OMG, they did it under the mistletoe!) under the mistletoe, he would not have suffered. Now all of them patiently waited at the hospital's lobby, waiting for the doctor to come out from the emergency room to tell what happened to their dear friend.
Shinn looked at his watch and it read 9 o'clock. He tapped Kira's shoulder and the brunette-haired coordinator faced him.
"Let's go to the comfort room." Kira nodded and accompanied Shinn.
After the two left, a very depressed and worried group of doctors crowded their spot and requested their silence.
As soon as they became silent, one doctor sighed and began to talk, "Do any of you know Mr. Zala from childhood?"
All of them shook their heads.
"Only Kira, doctor." Lacus said to inform them.
The other doctor nodded, "We don't know exactly what happened before the sickness of Mr. Zala struck but now, we want to inform you all that Mr. Zala is suffering from a rare sickness known as stand still. In a stand still, a person's physical change, for example; a person's growth and other stuffs cease. His breathing and the beating of the heart stops. Its kind of you are almost dead but actually, you aren't but the time of waking up of the person suffering from this rare sickness cannot be determined."
Tear fell from Cagalli's rosy cheeks, "Does that mean that Athrun would be…be…" she can no longer continue her sentence.
One of the doctors sighed, "I am afraid so. For the time being, we will be observing him and if your, his close friends for we know that he has no more living relatives, will decided for him later on."
"Wh-what do you mean by that?" Cagalli softly inquired. Most of her friends understood what the doctors were trying to tell them but she just can't accept it.
"It is best for you to know it later on." They said and left.
"Cagalli…" Lacus softly called her name but all she did was to cry.
"Cagalli, just accept that Athrun is already de-"
"What Lacus!" she stood up and burst all of a sudden but nonetheless, still crying.
"All Lacus is trying to tell you is to grow up and accept the truth." Yzak helped lacus for she was lost for words.
"Grow up? Are you telling me that I am immature?" She shouted once again.
Kira and Shinn finally came back and were shock with the scene they have just witness. The two quickly sat beside Lacus.
Dearka is a funny person but when thing comes to this situations, it is time to be frank, "Listen Cagalli! Grow up! Athrun will not be with you forever and I think this is his time!"
She can't take this anymore. "I HATE YOU ALL!"
With that, she ran away.
No one dared to run after her for all of them were depress by the situation they are in now.
With Cagalli…
She ran off somewhere in the garden of the hospital.
She found a swing to sit at and she did. She looked at her surroundings. Everything seem to be calm and fine but she was not. She was not calm at all.
"You promised…Athrun!" she again sob as she remembered an unforgettable memory.
Start of flashback…
She sat quietly at a swing. She laughed and pointed at the butterfly that just past by.
"They're pretty!" she exclaimed as many butterfly past by.
A pair of warm arms encircle her thin waist, "I'm glad you're happy, my princess."
She then looked at him and smiled, "Thanks, Athrun. The butterflies are beautiful!"
He sat at the swing beside hers, "Not as beautiful as you, my precious rose."
She giggled, "Stop your corny jokes, Zala!"
He flashed his warm smile, "No, I'm not kidding. Really, honest!"
She stopped at joking him, "Fine. What's up with the butterflies to day, Athrun?"
"You don't remember why you don't have any paper work today?" he asked and he received a blank stare, "Thank me for being assiduous to do your work for the day. Today is your birthday, my princess."
She was shocked. How can she forget her own birthday?
He smiled again, "If people will sing you happy birthday today, I will sing you a different song entitled, You are My Sunshine."
He stood before her and began to sing,
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are gray.
You make me know dear how much I love you.
So please don't take, my sunshine away."
She clasped her hands together, "Nice song. Where'd you learn that?"
He shook his head, "It's my secret and besides, let's go! I'm hungry Athha!"
Her eyebrows narrowed, "Aren't you suppose to treat me, a lady?"
"I don't see any lady around here." He replied.
With that, he began to run away, afraid to face her wrath.
That night, when she already fell asleep, he managed to sneak inside her bedroom.
"Happy birthday and…I love you, Cagalli Yula Athha." He whispered to her and she smiled even though she was fast asleep.
End of Flashback
"You told me, I love you…yet still, you seem to leave me now." Tears continuously flow down.
Today might be a sunny day but for her it wasn't. Why?
She continued to cry and she felt a warm pair of arms hug her. "Everything will be alright." She heard the person say to her.
She looked at him and was surprised by his presence, "What are you doing here…Shinn?"
