Note: I do not own Gundam Seed

This is something I've never really done before. This story will be a challenge for me so I hope you bear with me.


Significant Other

Chapter one – The Perfect Someone

He wished his sister had woken him up. Just because he wasn't in the best of health right now didn't mean that he wasn't up for a day of school. He caught a public bus and walked inside taking out the needed money and placing it in the container before making his way to a seat. Coughing slightly he cleared his throat and closed his eyes. He had taken some pills for his headache before he left and had brought his cell in case he decided to go home sometime during the day. Cagalli had also forgotten her lunch and, despite the fact that he was angry with her, he had brought it with him.


Athrun heard a loud sigh and looked up, his gaze finding Cagalli slowly proceeding forward. She was earlier then she normally was and instead of looking energetic she appeared tired and worn down. He also noticed the absence of his best friend. She stopped and put her bag on the ground as she reached her locker, which was consequently three away from his.

"Where's Kira?" Cagalli opened her locker and gave him a sad look.

"He's getting sicker."

"So he's not going to be here?"

"I'm sure he'll find some method of transportation. However he had quite the fever this weekend so I don't know."

"Fever?" Athrun asked and she nodded.

"He was just starting to get over it last night and when I looked in on him this morning he looked so comfortable…I couldn't wake him."

"I hope he gets better soon. He's been sick for so long." Athrun closed his locker and locked it, rearranging the books in his arms.

"I know and it's really taking its toll. He's lost so much weight. God, why is it always him?"


Kira stepped off the bus and coughed a bit. He still had a bit of a walk ahead of him and hoped he wouldn't pass out on his way there. He was feeling much better though and he didn't plan to attend for the whole day. He'd leave in the afternoon after getting his work that he'd miss on Thursday and Friday. Stepping inside the school he went to his sisters locker hoping he'd catch her and sure enough, much to her horror, he did.

"Kira? Oh bloody hell you should be at home." Athrun gave him a very sad look.

"You're not looking so well."

"I don't plan on staying the full day." He handed Cagalli her lunch and she blinked, glancing at her bag.

"Oops. I forgot my…Thanks Kira."

"No problem." He managed to get out before coughing slightly. She rubbed her temples.

"You're really starting to worry me." He smiled.

"Sorry."

"Don't." She snapped, then she softened her voice as she saw him wince at her sudden anger. "Don't apologize. You've never done anything wrong Okay? So don't."

"Ahh. Sorry?" He shrugged as she glared at him. Athrun smiled and shook his head. "Why didn't you wake me up this morning?" He suddenly asked feeling he already knew the answer.

"You're ill. You're weak and you shouldn't be in such a stressful environment. You should be at home. Sleeping, eating…god, just resting."

"I miss the old Cagalli. The one who threw her chair at me just cause I poked fun of her." He whined. "This concerning, motherly behavior is so unlike you. I'm sure Athrun finds it cute but it's tiring to be around." Athrun blushed, suddenly interested in the books he carried.

"When you get better Kira I'm going to kick you're ass for saying that." Kira gave a nervous smile.

"Look forward to it." Suddenly a deep rumble was heard someway further down the hall and they turned seeing a tall, broad, muscular guy running towards them. His face looked angry and his right hand was balled into a fist, nonetheless, Kira smiled. People in the hall pushed themselves to the sides, getting out of his way.

"Hey Opal!" Kira waved. Cagalli couldn't understand how Kira and that ogre had become friends. Athrun hadn't been able to give her an explanation nor had Kira himself. Opal reached them and picked Kira up in a tight hug.

"Kira! I'm so glad to see you back in school." It wasn't sarcasm and Kira laughed.

"Lonely Opal?"

"Nah. Just missed ya." He placed Kira down and ruffled his hair. Athrun glanced at his watch finding that they still had another ten minutes till the bell went. Cagalli smiled up at Opal.

"How's you're hand?" Opal held up his left hand, which was wrapped in bandages.

"It's better. The doc said that I shouldn't punch things for awhile so…" Kira got a sad look on his face.

"So you can't enter the tournament? But you've been practicing for so long."

"I know, I know but there's always next year." Athrun looked confused.

"What are we discussing here?"

"Opal's a boxer." Cagalli sighed. "A good one at that. He's a favorite."

"I didn't know that." Athrun confessed and then he shook his head. "That's unfortunate." Opal shifted from one foot to the other.

"Not really it just gives me more time to practice so I can make a good first impression." Kira nodded.

"It's good that you're remaining optimistic." Opal shrugged, looking at his watch.

"It's easy…Listen I've got to go. It's nice to see you again Kira. Have a good day."

"You too Opal." Cagalli had long ago decided that she liked Opal. He'd manage to stop Kave and his friends from tormenting Kira. Which had been becoming serious. She glanced at Kira as he had another coughing fit. Athrun steadied his friend as it grew increasingly worse then, as it died down. Kira was left to catch his breath.

"Kira I can take you home if you-" Athrun's offer was immediately turned down.

"I'm fine Athrun. I'm fine." It almost sounded like he was trying to convince himself. The bell finally rang and Cagalli laid a hand on Athrun's shoulder before leaning in.

"I'm thankful that you share a majority of your classes with my brother. Look after him." She then left to her gym class and Athrun sighed. She didn't have to ask him something like that. He was already planning on keeping an eye out on Kira.

"Shouldn't we hurry, Athrun?" Kira tilted his head and Athrun nodded.

"Yeah."


Milly shook her head as they walked into the field. Cagalli sighed, running a hand through her hair.

"He's getting better but he's pushing himself. I swear he's only rested when he's taken sleeping pills…" Silence consumed their walk until Milly glanced at a girl who was flirting with the new football player. Her name was Flay Allster.

"Is it true that Kira and Flay broke up?" Cagalli snorted then smiled.

"Yeah. I can't say I'm sad to see her go. She wasn't right for him at all." Milly nodded.

"He needs someone who's just as caring as he is." Cagalli nodded.

"Someone who can handle his emotional breakdowns. Scratch that. Someone who can prevent them from happening." Milly sighed.

"Someone who could be strict enough to get him to take his medicine."

"Someone who doesn't care about our wealth."

"Someone who wouldn't take advantage of his kind nature." Milly said, remembering how Flay had certainly done so.

"She'd have to have a head on her shoulders." Milly quite agreed with that one. "She'd also have to be fun and outgoing" Cagalli muttered thinking of the stuff they could do together if she was.

"She'd have to be understanding"

"Someone who's pretty." Cagalli said slowly.

"Looks don't matter Cagalli."

"That's true, but it'd be nice if she was pretty."

"Well, she'd have to be patient." Cagalli slapped herself on the forehead. Milly looked at her friend.

"So basically we've concluded that the individual has to be kind, caring, pretty, patient, understanding, fun, smart and outgoing. There's no one like that, Milly."


Footsteps echoed down a hall and the individual whom they belonged to smiled, making her way to the office. Her hair was long, shiny and well taken care of. She was well dressed and though she appeared to be new she didn't seem nervous. In fact she seemed excited. A guy who had been walking down the hallway paused, his eyes going wide upon spotting her. She waved happily to him and he blinked, dropping his books. She hummed slightly as she went around a corner and grinned when she found the office. The woman working there smiled up at her.

"Hello. I'm a bit late. We just moved here and it took me awhile to find the school. I don't remember what class I have first. I think it's gym but I'm not certain."

"That's quite alright…" The woman typed something on the computer. "I need you're name." The girl smiled a warm smile

"I am Lacus Clyne."


Okay! I really am struggling with this story! I need to know you're opinions on how you like it so far. Also should I pair up Cagalli and Athrun? I also need to know if anyone's having difficulties following this story. By the way should I have Destiny Characters included?
