Beep, beep, beep…

'Ughhh….' I thought as I covered my ears from the bickering of my alarm clock. I groggily turned over to the flashing light of 6:00 blinking at my now blind eyes. I rubbed my in a fit and rage and annoyance. 'It's too early' I thought as I slumped into the washroom only to slip on a bar of soap.

"Okay, does God have something against my life today" I mumbled to myself as I grabbed the sink to pull myself up. I looked to see my red infuriated face. Yes I'm livid, I concluded. I opened the tap to wash my wash, and get rid of at least, my brilliant shade of ruby I set upon myself.

Taking some water, I splashed it upon my skin. The cool sensation fumed me down a tint, and invigorated my mood. Sigh. I brushed my teeth after and took a quick dip in the tub. After I changed I walked along the hallway ignoring, the yellow sign that said "WET FLOOR" As I reached the stair case my feet slipped, and ended up bombarding down instead.

Now that I was beautifully adorned on the floor and aching, I realized all that commotion must have woken up some people. 'Uh Oh' I thought panicking. You see today was someone's 21st birthday; I planned on setting up a party for him. A surprise birthday party, those whom Athrun figures out before it happen. But, this year was suppose to be different… I contemplated.

I shrieked as a sturdy hand touched my shoulder, as I was in profound thought.

"Cagalli, what are you doing so early in the morning" a person said.

I turned to see, what I thought was Athrun, to be Kira Yamato.

"Thank god" I murmured "How'd you get so early" I asked stupidly, since I knew.

"Oh come on Cagalli, that racket you made might have as loud as a nuclear bomb!" Kira exclaimed.

"Well, Kira you know how much it is Athrun's birthday today and how I go and make a party for him, and sneak in a quick present." I told him, the last part known only to my head. 'Shit, no wonder Lacus took me shopping yesterday' I cursed myself.

"Oh right, so you get and make so much noise that Athrun himself comes down and figures it out." Kira shouted.

"Oh, how would I know the floor was all wet, and slippery" I shouted back.

"Read the god damn sign" He yelled

"Why should I?" I yelled back.

"So the next time I won't have to wake up for no reason." He reasoned this time.

"Fine, just go and shoo away" I said.

"Sis?" he said.

"What Kira," I said annoyed.

"Did you get hurt," he asked.

"No, just an aching buttock, that's about it." I replied.

"Good, now I can get some well rested shut eye, without someone interrupting," he teased.

"Yah right, so you can go all mushy with Lacus, without any disruption" I teased back.

Kira had brilliant shade of magenta at that point. Annoyed he started mumbling something incoherent, and went upstairs all fuming.

I smiled 'brothers' I thought 'there sweet and stupid, all in one'.

As I was about to head out the, a thought drifted over my head. Athrun is a light sleeper, how come he didn't wake. Curious, I went up to check my boyfriend. I held onto the rail this time. As quietly as I could, I went to Athrun's room, which was right beside mine. I creaked open the door, and slipped in.

I walked slowly, each step progressively taking me to his divan. Silently as I reach there I noticed a bump in the bed where sapphire blue hair was sticking out. His face although was covered underneath the blankets. It was still only 6:30; Athrun wouldn't be up for half an hour.

With caution I approached and kneeled so I was eye level to his head. I slowly brought my hand up and pulled down the blanket. A sound reached my alert ears as I rapidly pulled my hand back. Athrun as if knowing I was here turned over facing me, looking like a baby in a dreamless sleep. I let go of my breath, comprehending that I was holding it. I watched him as he dozed, his breath uplifting his chest each time. He looked so defined and handsome, it made me blush. 'I'm so lucky to have him' I unconsciously said to myself.

I got up and sat at his bedside. I leaned over to brush hair away. Unsatisfied, I gave him a little butterfly kiss on his jaw. Athrun moved, insentience using his hand to pull down by the waist. He turned me so his face was hiding in the crook of my neck. Through my shock I heard inaudible snores, making me recognize that his was still asleep. I gave a sigh of relief. Who knew Athrun was such a heavy sleeper at times.

"Cagalli…"he mumbled in his snooze.

I leapt. I was so self-conscious at moment to realize that I had a party to plan out. I shook myself awake, and identified my position. Athrun had his legs twisted against mine, and his arms around my waist. I could move my arm at least. I was sideways, and facing the clock which read 6:45. 15 minutes left to leave so I could plan the party, without Athrun knowing. Lacus was awake a waiting for me downstairs. Now I know that curiosity did kill the cat.

I was in a difficult situation. I knew for a fact that if I moved Athrun would wake up and if I didn't move Athrun would still wake up. Oh well I could always, stick with plan C. I placed my mouth near Athrun's ear and softly whispered…
