You and Me
An Accident That Was Meant To Happen
And the two got back to their senses. They both opened their eyes. Emerald met amber.
Athrun took a step back and tried to calm the confused blonde on front of him. "C-Cagalli, I can explain!"
"W-What the-"
"Cagalli, I want you to calm down and listen to-"
"W-What did you-"
"Cagalli, please cooperate with me."
"Alright Cagalli. Calm down. It's just a kiss. And it's not like you've never done it with him before, right?" She sighed. "I need to keep it cool. Cool." The blonde needed to calm down, so she inhaled and exhaled. "I-I'm just… a bit shocked! What happened?"
"It was an accident." Athrun scratched his head sheepishly. "A perfect accident."
"R-Right. An accident." She gave him a nervous laugh. "Sadly…"
RING RING RING
"Let me just get this." Athrun took out his phone and faced away from Cagalli. "Hello?"
"Honey! Where are you? Why aren't you home yet?"
"Meyrin, didn't I tell you not to wait for me anymore? I told you I'd be home late, right? Yzak and I still need to talk about a lot of things."
A sigh was heard from the other line. "Sorry. It's just… Nevermind. I'll see you later okay? Come home soon! I love you."
"Goodbye Meyrin." And the call ended. Athrun heaved a deep sigh and turned to face Cagalli again, who was looking at him intently. "I'm really sorry for what happened earlier, Cagalli."
She shook her head. "No. No, it's okay. Like you said, it was an accident."
"Right."
"And it's not like we haven't kissed before, right?"
That made Athrun tense. "R-Right. She's right. I should be completely unbothered by this."
"Athrun?"
"Y-Yes?"
"Why didn't you tell Meyrin we were together?"
"Well," Athrun thought of a good enough explanation. "Meyrin's been always the jealous type. Even when it came to Lacus. She just freaks out when I'm with another woman, even if she knows we don't have anything." He sighed. Well, at least what he said wasn't a lie. "Sometimes, I don't think she trusts me… the way you did."
Cagalli's face turned red. "The way I did?"
"But anyway, it's not anything you should be worried about. She's gonna have to deal with it sooner or later."
"Athrun, if Meyrin really loves you, she's gonna have to trust you. Maybe she's still in that stage of learning the ways of love." Cagalli giggled. "It's either that or she's just really possessive."
Athrun chuckled. "Yeah, I guess so. Anyway, I better get you home. Kira will kill me if I don't get you there on time."
oOo
When they reached the Yamato Household, the two stepped out of the Donto only to see a frustrated brunette with his arms crossed near the doorway. A pinkette was beside him, trying to calm him down.
"Well look who finally got here!" Kira exclaimed. And was that air coming out of his nose? Visibly?
"Kira, calm down. It's only eleve-"
"Calm down? Calm down?" He stepped down the stairs and faced his so called best friend who took his so called sister out to dinner. "We had an agreement, if you two remember. I texted you ten times, Cagalli. Ten times! You were supposed to be here one minute and 17 seconds ago! I will not tolerate this kind of beha-" And before he could finish, he felt a great pang on his face. "Ouch! What was that for?" And another one. "Ouch!"
"Would you shut up, Kira?" Cagalli whispered loudly. "You'll wake up the neighbors." And by neighbors, Cagalli meant the children.
"Kira, why don't you go inside and ask (1) Lala to make us some tea?" Lacus suggested.
"Hmph! Fine, but this conversation Is not yet over." He said, stomping his way back inside and slammed the door.
Lacus gave them an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. You know how Kira is when it comes to these things."
"It's okay, Lacus. I'm used to it." Athrun smiled and turned to face Cagalli. He took her hand and kissed it gently. "Good night. Thank you for your time." And with that, he waved goodbye and left.
Lacus and Cagalli went inside and plopped down the couch, sighing. Tonight was very exhausting.
"So," the pinkette started as their Kira stepped inside the living with Lala trailing behind him with their tea. "how was it?"
Cagalli sipped her tea. "It was nice. Very unexpected of him to take me to such a fancy place, though. But in the end we had fun."
"Where did you guys go after you ate?" Lacus asked.
"We went to the park to talk about politics and our lives. Simply catching up again on what we've missed about each other and the things that used to be around us."
"Did you guys kiss?" Lacus teased, making Cagalli spit her drink on Kira's face.
"W-Well… yes." She squeaked, this making both Kira spit his drink on the table and Lacus spit her drink on Kira's face.
"You what?" Kira exclaimed. "And would you two stop aiming at me?"
"S-Sorry Kira. I didn't mean." Lacus cleared her throat. "But ayway, you two k-kissed? But how?"
"It was sort of, err, an accident."
Kira sighed. "I thought it was on purpose. Geez Cagalli, you should've told us first."
"Well it's not like you made me finish!" Cagalli stood up and threw her tea at Kira.
"AHHH!"
"I'm heading up to bed. Good night Lacus! Wash your pants, Kira!" And with that, the blonde went up to her room and cleaned herself up.
"I don't deserve this, Cagalli!"
"Kira."
"What?"
Lacus gave him a sheepish smile. "You kind of do."
oOo
Tonight was the last night. It's what was keeping him up all this time even after an exhausting escapade. But no, he didn't want this to be the last time. He didn't want tomorrow to come. He didn't want to leave her side. All he wanted to do was to be with her forever and it scares him to know that he might not be able to be.
He hovered over her sleeping form as he watched her face being illuminated by the moonlight coming from the glass door leading to the terrace, and yet he was yet again amazed of how beautiful she was, being all bare like that.
They were still fully connected, though he didn't want to pull out of fear that he might not be able to be one with her again. He wanted to stay like that for the rest of his life, so why does he even have to go? Why does he even have to fear the rise of the sun that he loved so much ever since? Why is he making this so damn hard for himself?
Oh right. It was because of that stupid offer he received from PLANTS. He didn't want to go, but it wasn't like he had a choice. He had many things to settle with and fix. Plus, Lacus needed his help. A lot.
"Cagalli, I love you." He kissed her fully on her lips, savoring every single inch. As breathless as he was, he still didn't want to stop. Because stopping means letting go and time would make its move again, nearing that instant he dreaded to ever meet.
He stared at her again, but it's not like he stopped. He almost ran out of oxygen for what he did, but that's alright to him because in truth, he actually wanted to breathe his last air in her mouth. It makes him want to cry, he feels so weak, so defenseless, knowing that he can't really do much to protect her. He feels so pathetic, so unworthy, but he let a smile form as he thought to himself, "I love her. She's the one I need in my life."
He positioned himself once again to give her a few more thrusts. This was the only thing he could do right now. He would make this moment last. He wouldn't let sleep win over him for he knows too well what the consequences of that would bring. Sleep ends the night and he's as sure as hell that he didn't want this to end… because this could be their last.
Suddenly, she stirs and he stops.
He watched her as she slowly opened her eyes to meet his gaze. He didn't know what he looked like from her point of view, but he's guessing he looked really pathetic for her to react like that.
She smiled.
It was the most vibrant smile he's ever seen in his entire life. It was one of the reasons he fell in love with her in the first place. She was really the only one who was ever able to make him feel that way.
"I'm sorry I woke you up." He kissed her forehead. Then again, he wasn't really sorry for what he did, because he wanted to be together with her consciously in making that night last. Although, he was a bit sorry for being caught red-handed like that. He chuckled to himself.
"You're not sleepy yet?" She asked with a tone of concern in her voice.
"Yeah, I guess." He said, caressing her cheek.
"Carry on then." She giggled playfully as she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer.
Again, they shared that kiss which burns through the soul. Neither wanted to let go. After leaving her mouth, he trailed kisses on her cheeks down to her neck. A little later, she felt his breathing evened. She guessed that he finally fell asleep.
She smiled at his face. "I love you too, Athrun."
"I love you more, Cagalli." He said without opening his eyes and with that he felt Cagalli giggle again.
"I know."
oOo
Athrun opened his eyes only to see magenta hair sprawled on his face. He sat up and looked around him. That dream. It always occurred to him every now and then….. and it pained him to see that when he woke up, she wasn't the one beside him.
oOo
That dream. It always replayed on her head ever so often. It reminded her of that night and everything that happened. But no. She didn't want to start reminiscing again. It would just hurt.
"Good morning Mommy." Little Alex said as he stretched while yawning.
She looked at her baby boy's eyes and smiled. "Just like his father's." She gave him a hug and said, "Good morning."
"Mommy?"
"Yes?"
"Who were you with last night?"
Cagalli's eyes widened at first, but she eventually calmed down and kept her cool. "I was just out with a good friend, that's all. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so he decided to treat me to dinner. He was one of my friends in the war, if you should know."
"Hm... Well, it looks like you had a fun time last night, Mommy!" Alex smiled and headed for the door. "I'm gonna go downstairs and see what's for breakfast."
"Okay." Then, she turned to the exact copy of her ex-lover. "Ally must've been really tired last night, helping me get ready all." She kissed her daughter's forehead and went inside the bathroom.
She looked at herself in the mirror, then at the bouquet of roses on the table. Many accidents may have happened in her entire life, but falling in love with Athrun and what happened that night? No. They weren't accidents. They were a blessing.
And even she couldn't say no to that.
(1) Yes. Lala. Well, I couldn't think of a better name :)
