Well, hello all again! I'm back...with another corny chapter for you! Or not so corny...Kill me in the reviews afterward...
Chapter 8 (diary entry has ,sm style writing because it's a journal...)
(four months later…)
Dear Diary,
Wow…the last few months have been…wonderful. It's only been four months since Athrun and me got together, and Lacus and Kira started going out. Boy, those two started going strong after the first date. Funny, all of us ended up having group dates together, but maybe it's more comfortable. I feel that way, at least.
Lacus was freaking during the exam period, she was very worried about her studies, and how to juggle them with her relationship with Kira. Athrun seemed to have the same problem as Lacus, and all of us were trying to juggle study and relationships. The compromise? We all did study together. God, that was funny…Athrun trying to give Kira a lecture on physics and watching as Kira ended up trying to hit Athrun with all of his text books because he didn't understand was really funny…
Speaking of Kira, Lacus told me how her first date with him went. It started off with a quiet day out in the city, and ended that way. Though, they did take their time, they started at 10 in the morning, and finished at around 10 at night! But then again, the two of them seem made for one another. Anyway, there was a town fair at the city square today, so Kira asked Lacus to come along with him, as he always went there out of family traditions (mom's side, not dad's…and Athrun took me there a few days later, when it was quieter…that was fantastic! Besides spewing after the roller coaster, at least Athrun took me to a nice restaurant for dinner).
Kira and her were sharing the candyfloss, when they actually started licking one another thinking that they were licking candyfloss! It sounds disgusting, but the two of them found it quite hilarious. After cleaning up, they went on a roller-coaster ride. Lacus must have a nerve of steel-she didn't even spew or feel any disorientation. She just sat there calmly, she says, and Kira confirms this. I felt really bad after that…and as I said earlier, I spewed…
Then Lacus and Kira went on the bumper cars. Kira must be a really good bumper car driver, because he was driving so well that he knocked other drivers outta their cars! Lacus, who is a very "do good" person, was urging him to slow down. Of course, he refused blatantly, said Lacus.
"If I'm gonna make sure no-one will hit us, and keep you safe from falling out, I'll need to drive at this kinda speed…I mean, I've gotta make sure you're safe, and easiest way is to make sure no-one rams us, hey?" Apparently, that's what my twin brother said. Oh, so corny! And oh so sweet, according to Lacus…Apparently she has a thing for these melodramatic philosophies…anyways…
Afterwards, they apparently did "some random stuff" which Lacus wouldn't talk about (I need to get into her journal soon lol) but Kira ended the date in an apparently stylish way-a visit to one of the most expensive restaurants in town- the "Jin Se Diner" (apparently it means the golden snake or something…weird name…). It's really, really, REALLY expensive (like OMG $34 per dish) but really really REALLY good Chinese food!
The two of them were eating, and then, Lacus says, when Kira flicks his food at her with his spoon. When Lacus asks why, he flicks something else, and then, Lacus recounted, she shoved her rice bowl in his face! After that they started a massive food fight, and ended up getting thrown out of the restaurant! OMG, I was laughing my head off when I heard about that! Lacus starting a food fight is unimaginable.
Speaking of which, Dearka started…like…fraternising with Milly (Miriallia). Like, one day, when all of us are sitting together (that means usually, just Athrun, me, Kira, Lacus n Milly) he comes up, and asks whether he can sit with us. And then he sits next to Milly and starts chatting with her for the rest of lunch break! I think he has a thing for her or something…
Anyway, the two of them have spending more and more time together, up until recently. Milly seems to be avoiding Dearka, she told me that she feels…uncomfortable around him…and she has ANOTHER suitor-u go girl! Apparently, one of the prefects-Tolle or something…has taken an interest in her. We found a bouquet of roses from him taped to her locker…not exactly elegant, in my opinion, but…yeah. Poor Milly…she's gotta choose between two guys really nice guts…and not bad lookers, if I may say so myself…(Athrun will kill me if he reads this…)
We're having our concerts soon…Each night, for three days, one group will host their concert for an audience…But, our group's is one the dance night! So the teacher says we're playing for the dance! That's so unfair! Why do we have to play in front of a hundred people, and the other people don't have to? Well, nothing that we can do about it now, but just wait and get ready…
Oh, the phone's ringing! I gtg…
Bb
Love Caga!
Cagalli put down her pen, and quickly answered the phone, wondering who would call her this late at night…
"Hello? Cagalli?" Athrun's voice crackled over the telephone. Cagalli smiled, listening to the boy's smooth, matured tone. She recalled the blue hair, sharp face, and a body that was growing ever more toned and well-built by the day…most girls were drooling over him, but she was…well…she didn't really like to think about how deep her relationship with Athrun was, suffice to say, she knew him well, not just as the studious, yet handsome stud that he was.
"Hey Athrun! I was just writing in my journal…Whydcha call?" Cagalli asked, cheerfully. She didn't notice the slightly solemn tone of Athrun's voice, nor the heavier than normal breathing…
Athrun thought to himself silently Is this what I really want? Do I want to do this? Athrun stared at his hands, asking why God made him urge himself to do this horrible act. The thought hadn't crossed his mind until recently, but…
It will be best for both of us. Trust me. Again, that same, cold, harsh voice inside him told his mind. Athrun didn't know who that voice belonged to, why it always forced him to do things against his will, but he knew better than to defy it-it tormented him mentally when he refused to listen to it. He couldn't resist that voice, or its wants or requests.
"Cagalli, have you ever been happier when you were around other people besides me?" Athrun asked shakily. His brain was on override as he remembered all the good memories that he and Cagalli had shared together in the last four months.
"Gahh!" Cagalli yelled as Athrun threw a snowball at her. It had hit her full in the face, as the blue-haired boy expected. He grinned, then threw another. The snow-packed ball crumbled as it made contact with her jacket. Cagalli threw a snowball back at Athrun, missing, but having the satisfaction of it skimming his hair and causing him to suddenly trip over.
Exhausted, Cagalli flopped down next to her boyfriend. She lay down, and afterward, Athrun, who had quite recovered from landing on his behind, lay down beside her. He took her hand and the two of them looked up at the winter sky. Snow fell to the ground in a sparkling heap, showering the two lovers with magical white dust.
It was around Christmas time, and Athrun and Cagalli had chosen this time to have an energetic snowball fight. Now, the two lay together in the snow, both too tired to throw more snow at each other, much less talk. Instead they just lay there, enjoying the other's presence, and the sense of security that they mutually felt when they were around each other.
Knowing what the other was thinking, both of them decided to go for a walk. Holding hands they walked past the Christmas festivities, the dancing couples, the snow-covered houses. In silence, the two of them thought about the times they'd shared so far.
"I don't have a present…" Cagalli said to Athrun quietly. "I'm sorry…"
"Don't worry about it." Athrun said, reassuring her with a smile. The two of them continued walking. Lacus and Kira had invited them over for Christmas dinner, and Athrun made it a point to go early. Cagalli had decided to follow in his stead, after all, she'd been late to too many functions, she decided.
"But, I have to keep to my promise. I said I'd get you a present!" Cagalli said, looking away guiltily. She said this as they continued to walk, when Athrun noticed something on one of the trees that had been decorated in Christmas festivities.
"Don't worry-mistletoe!" Athrun said suddenly, and swiftly landed a full blown kiss on Cagalli's lips. At first she was surprised. She and Athrun hadn't fully kissed like this before! And then she realised that she wasn't struggling…she was actually enjoying it! The two lovers didn't realise they were actually outside Lacus' house. As she came out, she spied the couple kissing under the mistletoe. Surprised she began to walk over to them, a thousand reprimands forming in her head.
"There's my Christmas present…" Athrun said to a still-blushing Cagalli.
"'You kiss by th'book.'" Cagalli offered the quote surprising Athrun, but in no time at all-
"Is there one?" he said. He must've been making a new comeback each day.
"Mistletoe…" she said mischievously, before pushing the blue-haired boy against the Christmas tree and giving him another mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Her tongue poked into his mouth, and she surprised herself with the strange, warm, and tingly feeling she began to feel…
"Athrun! Cagalli! Tsk tsk tsk…What ARE you doing!" Lacus said, looking at the two of them in annoyance, and amusement. She watched the two of them pull apart, hair slightly askew, cheeks flushed. She looked at her two friends, looking like two kids caught with their hands in a candy jar, and the thousand reprimands flew out of her head.
"Oh, just c'mon in…" she murmured, and all three of them went back inside to their warm Christmas dinner.
"Cagalli answered his question. "No Athrun…I've never been happier with anyone, ever since I met you…why?" Cagalli sounded worried now. Why would he ask this?
"Cagalli…I think…maybe we should spend some time away from each other…just to make sure that there isn't anyone else out there for us…" Athrun's voice cracked with emotion. He didn't want to do this, but he knew…at least he thought it was right…
Cagalli was silent for a while. She didn't move, didn't speak, as her mind took the time it needed to digest what he'd said.
"Why…why, Athrun?" Cagalli asked, shocked. Her mind was numb, her body couldn't move. She couldn't control the tears that had begun to drip down from her face.
"Why do you wanna…break up?" she sobbed. Crying, she yelled "WHY! YOU FUCKING BASTARD, WHY!"
"Cagalli, I-"
"DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!" She screamed at him, and slammed the phone down, crying. Alone, she walked stiffly to her bed and lay down, and cried in sobs of agony.
Athrun heard her hang up. Slowly, he shook his head, and finished the sentence.
"Cagalli…I love you." And then the tears came…
Are you really pissed with me? OK! GOOD! Don't worry, this is and AxC, KxL, somehow, YxS and DxM, but this is where all the FUN begins! Muahahaha ok I'll stop...As I said, R&R and crucify me there...
