Hi. I'm back with the next chapter. Still depressed. Don't shoot daggers at me if you're unhappy with this chapter. Shoo off and read now, while I carry on hating myself for torturing Athrun. Enjoy.
Oh, btw. I haven't received any requests for shinncaga in this story, so I'll post up I Hate You as per normal. Yep.
I'll post up I Hate You 2 on a very special day soon. (
Hint: There will be a lot of emotion and tragedy in the next few chapters. Let me see how many people can guess what happens.(;
This is just kinda what happened when Athrun went back, not a long chapter. I need inspiration! (;
Disclaimer: I don't own gundam seed destiny, sadly.
Meyrin pouted. Athrun left after giving her a big lecture.
" I just want to spend time with him! Is that so wrong!" Meyrin whined to no one in particular.
" No. You weren't wrong at all. All you wanted was to spend time with the person you love. Like me…" A voice said.
" Who's that?.!" Meyrin exclaimed when she realised that she wasn't alone.
As she spun around in the direction of the voice, she screamed when she saw the stranger's face.
" I… I THOUGHT YOU ALREADY DIED!" She stammered.
" Tsktsk. You're so immature, crying just because that moron left you." He mocked.
" Shut up! Athrun is NOT A MORON!" She retorted angrily, slightly recovered from her shock.
A sinister laugh filled the place.
" Well, I'll take the initiative. Do you want Athrun?"
" Of course…" Meyrin answered immediately.
" Shall we work together? " The voice came.
" …You…want Cagalli?" Meyrin stuttered.
" That, you don't need to know. Are you willing to work hand-in-hand with me to achieve your goal?" The voice pressed on.
"…I don't know.. I don't want to hurt Athrun.." Meyrin sighed.
" You'll be with him, how could he feel hurt?" The voice tempted her.
"…Fine. But promise there won't be any deaths." Meyrin said.
" Deal."
As the pact was made, the stranger sighed and walked out the door.
I made a pact with a girl with an maturity level of a 1 year old.
The stranger sighed. He was willing to go to great lengths to show his love for the woman he loved, but it was never reciprocated.
" Cagalli…You don't belong to that moron, you belong to me."
Two days later
" Another Martini, please." Athrun hiccuped.
" Athrun, you really have to stop drinking so much!" Meyrin pleaded.
" Why? We're at a PUB, a pub's for DRINKING." Athrun retorted drowsily, eyelids threatening to close.
" Athrun? Athrun?" Meyrin repeated desperately as Athrun's head flopped down onto the counter.
" Hey, does the guy still want his Martini?.!" The man behind the bar counter asked irritably.
" No thank you, I'll settle the bill now." Meyrin said hurriedly.
OUTSIDE THE BAR
" Mmm.. That hics was so hics fun! Let's go to a strip-club next! " Athrun shouted at the top of his voice, seemingly unaware of what he was doing.
Meyrin sighed. Why did she even agree to the pact? She knew some way or another, she would hurt Athrun, or even Cagalli. A pang of guilt filled her chest. Though she was jealous of Cagalli, she had to admit that Cagalli used to treat her very well. It was only recently, when Meyrin pestered Athrun so much that it got on Cagalli's very sensitive nerves, did Cagalli give her the cold shoulder.
" Come on, Athrun. I'll get you back home, alright?" Meyrin pacified him.
" No! I want to go to a strip-club! My good buddies told me it was really fun there! hics " Athrun said defiantly.
Meyrin sighed, and hailed a cab to take them back to Athrun's home.
Athrun toned down in the cab, becoming more sober.
" Cagalli…" He murmued gently, tears threatening to fall.
He blinked, and the tears of his pain and hurt fell onto the leather seat of the cab.
Meyrin looked at him, and felt his hurt. She hated herself for putting him in such misery. She hated herself for ruining his and Cagalli's getaway on his birthday. She hated herself for making Cagalli angry with Athrun, well-knowing it would hurt him. She hated herself for agreeing to the pact, to ruin their lives. Lastly, she hated herself for letting her sister down.
Flashback
" Mey, let them go. They love each other!" Luna said tenderly to her emotional broken sister.
" But I love Athrun too! Why does SHE get to be with him when I don't get to be with him?.!" Meyrin whined.
" You're too selfish. Cagalli helped us get over our financial crisis back then when we lost our parents, have you forgotten that?" Luna persisted.
" Yes, I'm selfish. I HATE Cagalli for stealing Athrun away from me. I HATE her. I don't care what she used to do for us, its all over. All is fair in love and war, and she STOLE ATHRUN AWAY FROM ME!" Meyrin shouted.
A stinging slap was delivered across Meyrin's face. Meyrin looked up, teary-eyed.
" I can't help it anymore, Luna… I really can't…I love him so much…" Meyrin sobbed.
Luna looked lovingly at her devastated sister, and enveloped her in a warm hug.
" Don't worry, Meyrin. No matter what happens, I'll always be here for you." Luna comforted her.
" Luna…I promise I'll leave Athrun alone… I just need some time.. Forgive me, alright?" Meyrin gripped Luna's blouse tightly, hoping her sister would offer her the comfort she needed.
" Meyrin, you're really brave, and I'm glad to have such a sister like you. You're my sister, and there's nothing that I wouldn't forgive you for. When Mum and Dad died, I swore to protect you, and I failed. " Luna's eyes teared up." You're my only kin now, and I can't afford to lose you…"
" Luna, I'm sorry.." Meyrin sobbed.
The two sisters kept by each others sides through the lonely night, and they never felt more bonded in their lives.
End of Flashback
Meyrin sighed as they reached the foot of Athrun's mansion. Athrun had been knocked out cold in the car due to the Martini-overdose. Meyrin paid the driver and dragged Athrun up the stairs.
" His keys…" She muttered as she searched his pockets.
" Bingo." She said as she felt metal keys in his left pockets.
Opening the door, her jaw fell open at the majestic mansion. The chandelier hanging from the ceiling was beautiful. The fireplace was well-kept, and what caught Meyrin's attention were pictures of Athrun and Cagalli in happier times. One was when they were at the beach with Kira and Lacus. Meyrin giggled at what Athrun and Cagalli were doing. A pleading Athrun was trying to feed Cagalli chocolate-ice-cream, her favourite, and Cagalli was pouting and looking away.
" He must have made her angry again." Meyrin smiled.
As she struggled with pulling Athrun up the red-carpeted staircase, she heard Athrun mumbling something about only treating her like a little sister. He probably was trying to explain to Cagalli.
Meyrin frowned, and was more determined than ever to make him hers.
As they arrived at the master bedroom, Meyrin brought a staggering Athrun to the bed and placed him on it. She turned and walked in the direction of the door, and locked it. She turned around and undressed Athrun, followed by herself, and slid into bed with him, her head on his chest.
" I'm sorry Luna, Cagalli…" She murmumed as tears flowed down her cheeks.
At the orphanage
" Kira and Lacus, I've decided to go back home." Cagalli smiled weakly.
" But Cagalli, you ca.." Kira started, only to be cut off by Cagalli.
" I cannot be so selfish, as to deprive my children of the fatherly love they should be receiving. I guess I should give Athrun another chance, if not for us, for the children." Cagalli sighed.
" Children? You mean…"
" I'm expecting twins." Cagalli smiled.
" Congrats! " Lacus chuckled and clapped her hands together.
Kira however, looked skeptical.
" Kira, I know you are worried about me. Don't worry okay? I'll be fine." Cagalli assured him.
" Yeah right. You're so fine that you could even appear at the beach crying like Athrun just died and didn't even come and tell me. How can I not be worried?" Kira sighed.
" I'm sorry, alright? I promise, if anything happens, the first person to know will be you, alright?" Cagalli pouted.
" Don't use that famous pout of yours to make me agree." Kira said sarcastically.
" Please?" Cagalli begged.
I just don't want you to be hurt again, Cagalli. If there even IS a next time, your emotional pain won't be as easy to get over as what just happened a few days ago.
Kira sighed.
" Fine. But if anything, ANYTHING happens, come back here AT ONCE, do you hear me?" Kira said protectively.
" Yes sir!" Cagalli saluted him playfully.
Kira hugged her and told her to take care of her twins well, and with that, Cagalli was on her way to her home.
" I'm worried, Lacus. I just have a feeling something's gonna go terribly wrong, and I'm afraid Cagalli will get hurt again…" Kira said.
" Don't worry. I believe Cagalli's old enough and mature enough to make her own decisions. All we can do now, is hope and pray that nothing horrible happens…" Lacus started.
Kira nodded and walked back inside the house with Lacus.
Lacus cleared her throat.
" Erhem. Maybe you should start worrying about me. " She smiled innocently.
" Huh?"
" I'm pregnant too, silly!" Lacus giggled.
" WHAT?.? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME? " Kira jumped up and down excitedly like a little boy.
Lacus just smiled.
" I just hope nothing happens to Cagalli. Besides, you were too obsessed fussing over Cagalli to bother about me." Lacus pouted.
" I'm sorry, all right? She's my only sister, and I don't want anything to happen to her.. I'll make it up to you?"
" Yes, Mr Yamato. Bedroom. Now." Lacus had a naughty glint in her eyes.
" You're becoming more aggressive lately, Lacus." Kira chuckled.
Cagalli, at the mansion
She sighed. This was it. It would either work, or it wouldn't.
She walked up to the front porch, and turned the key in the keyhole.
Walking up the stairs, something urged her not to go up to her room. Cagalli nervously chuckled to herself.
Nothing will be wrong, Cagalli. Just go..
Cagalli walked around the 2nd floor, and Athrun was nowhere to be seen.
Weird. He's always awake by this time, doing work in his study.
Cagalli dismissed thoughts of him getting into an accident, and tried to remain calm.
Relax girl, look for him. She thought.
" Athrun? Baby? Are you here?" She said as she looked into each room.
Finally, she reached the master bedroom.(UHOH.(X)
Panic struck her as she heard a woman's voice in the room. She didn't hear Athrun's voice, and figured it was a break-in. Cautiously, she opened the door and looked in, anticipating an attack.
But no. The woman, was not a burglar. It was Meyrin. And Meyrin was ON TOP of Athrun. ( BLOODY HELL.)
Cagalli felt tears well up in her eyes. She had put down her pride, and come back to Athrun. Yet here he was sleeping with another woman, NAKED, in their bed. Cagalli leaned against the door, refusing to believe what she saw. The door hit the wall, and a startled Meyrin turned around to see Cagalli. Athrun stirred, and yawned, before realising that Meyrin was on top of him.
" What the HELL are you…." Athrun hollered, only to stop on seeing Cagalli shedding tears at the door.
" No.. Cagalli, its not what you think it is.. Please.." Athrun said in panic.
" I knew something was wrong when I stepped into this house…I came back for you, for our flesh and blood." Cagalli sobbed. " And when I come home to my husband…I see him in bed with another woman…" Cagalli broke down.
Athrun hurriedly wore his bathrobe after roughly pushing Meyrin off him, making her land very ungracefully on the floor.(HAH. RETRIBUTION.)
" Cagalli… I have no idea what happened… honestly. You have to believe me…" Athrun said pleadingly.
" I don't want to believe you again… and I will NEVER let our twins acknowledge you as their FATHER! " Cagalli screamed.
" Twin…Twins?" Athrun stammered.
Cagalli stood up nimbly and ran off in tears, with Athrun missing her by a few inches while reaching out to pull her back to him.
" CAGALLI!"
She just kept running. She never wanted to stop and think about the future or the past. The pain was hurting her so badly. Again, she was betrayed by her husband. Tears flowed freely down her cheeks, and she fell to the ground, on her knees, crying bitterly.
" Athrun…"
Athrun pulled at his blue bangs in frustration. How did everything happen? How did he end up in bed with Meyrin? How did Cagalli come back? All these questions flooded his mind. He knew that he loved Cagalli so much, and he wanted to run after her, but his feet stood rooted to the ground, his mind not functioning as quickly as before. He just stood there, shocked by the truth that Cagalli was expecting twins. Staring dazedly at the ground, tears falling onto the floor, when his thoughts were interrupted by a voice.
" Athrun?"
Athrun turned and glared at the girl behind him with his tear stained cheeks, and Meyrin flinched. Never before had she seen him so mad.
" I'm sorry.. I never meant to hurt any of you.." Meyrin said without any remorse, clearly having enjoyed herself the night before.
" Get out of my sight, I never want to see you again. Never." Athrun answered coldly.
Those words pierced through Meyrin's heart. Tears spilled down her face as she came out of the bathroom fully-clothed, in her hand, a rectangular object.
She walked to the door, and turned one last time back to the man she loved.
" I'm pregnant. " She said, and dropped the rectangular object on the ground before running away, her cries growing more distant by the minute.
Athrun stared at the rectangular object on the ground. Walking over to pick it up, he mumbled profanities as he saw a positive on the pregnancy test kit.
She planned it all.
" Damn it. What the hell have I gotten myself into…."
Author's Note: Yes, I know, you all hate me, and the chapter sucks. This is only the beginning of Athrun's troubles. (gasps are heard from the audience, and some daggers are thrown at me.)
I told you nothing would spare my poor, pathetic life from being taken away. Finefine. Look, things have just begun. I updated early this time, cause I suddenly felt so bloody bored. Hate me if you must, but things are beginning to get interesting.
In the next chapter,
Shinn makes his apperance, and why does Athrun hate him?
Cagalli faints on hearing the news of Meyrin's pregnancy from Kira.
There are divorce papers. (GASPS)
Oh god. This is getting so bloody interesting. R&R! Till next time!
