He faced her trying to think of ideas to get her up. Looking her from head to toe, his gaze slowly fell to her lips. 'She wouldn't notice would she?' his mind raging on. 'I mean it's not like she'll just wake up at this moment.' Athrun was having doubts about what he was about to do. 'I'll take my chances,' he thought as his face leaned in closer to her.
Chapter Eight: Love Found or Shattered Heart?
Cagalli's heart was pounding fast. 'Why am I feeling this way?' She asked herself. Not moving, she lied there staring deep into his eyes. Both teenagers stayed still as if time stopped moving. Her eyes began to close, but as she heard click clack of shoes walking toward their way, he eyes fluttered open, pushing Athrun off of her.
Regaining her posture, Cagalli's eyes began to travel up the figure. Seeing the chestnut brown hair and the anger in the amethyst eye, Cagalli could only guess who it was staring at her. Cagalli looked up, only to see the face of her lovable brother. Oh boy. Cagalli slowly stood up putting the smallest smile upon her petite face; she gave a casual "yo" before running off.
Athrun let out a nervous laugh before running off following closely behind Cagalli. Kira's eyes flared as he watched the two, obviously still with anger, he did a mad dash chasing upon them before Mr. Waltfeld held him by the collar telling him to go back to class. Lucky Athrun and Cagalli.
Upon seeing Cagalli's figure up ahead, Athrun chased after her only to catch her by the arm.
"Can we talk?" he asked her softly, hoping she'll allow him to.
Cagalli gave a soft nod before following him to the school's garden. (A/N: My school have a garden, I didn't even know that!! )
He held onto her arm as he led the way to field of red roses and beautiful magnolia. The aroma filled the area as the two took a seat upon the lonely bench. None wanted to speak letting the silence seep through the air. The only audible sounds were the leaves of the trees rustling along the wind.
"I…" They both began, but their voice ceased seeing each other. Cagalli's face turned bright red when she notices how close their faces were. She jerked her face away from him, leaving a very confused Athrun.
'Why did she look so flushed?' he mentally asked himself.
As he looked at her, he noticed how her hair shone from the rays of the sun. Slowly sliding towards the girl, his hands began to stroke her hair away from her frame. Cagalli slowly looked up at him, with the brightest tint of red cascading upon her cheeks. Athrun slowly cupped her face as he brought him nearer to her.
Cagalli could not believe what was about to happen, knowing herself, she would've beaten the crap out of him, but Cagalli only stared back at the boy ready for what was about to happen.
'I have a fiancée, I can't do this!' Athrun said to himself, 'But…I don't love her…I don't even know her!' As of this moment, Athrun didn't care, his placed his lips upon her, thinking she would struggle, but no response came.
Cagalli was confused of the event that was currently taking place. She didn't know exactly how to react to this. 'What's going on? I know that deep, deep, deep, deepdeepdeepdeepdeepDEEP inside I MIGHT like him…but…who am I kidding but myself?' Cagalli thought, 'I've fallen for him…' Cagalli's eyes began to close as she felt his hands take a hold of her upper arm area.
Parting to take a breather, Cagalli looked away from Athrun before saying, "This is wrong."
"How so?" he asked her confusedly.
"You have a fiancée, and I hated you to begin with and now we're…" Cagalli couldn't continue. She stood up and walked towards the lone orange blossom tree, picking a single flower.
Athrun thought about what she said as he slowly stood up and walked behind her. Slowly putting his arms around her shoulder, he rested his head upon the nape of her neck. He slowly inhaled her scent plus the aroma that filled the garden.
"Happy Birthday Cagalli…" he said.
Athrun let go of Cagalli as he walked away from her, leaving a confused and dazed Cagalli.
'Happy Birthday Cagalli…' kept replaying over and over in her mind.
Cagalli turned around looking at the currently leaving Athrun, waiting awhile before she herself exit the garden. 'Sometimes things aren't meant to be…I guess this will be a secret between us.'
Chapter Nine: SecretCagalli and Kira were getting ready to set up for their party. It was currently Saturday, May 19…a day let…. Later is better than never.
After the incident with Athrun…a day ago, Cagalli pretended as if nothing ever happened. Mia wasn't in any of their classes…luckily. While Cagalli had track, (AN: Did I ever mentioned Cagalli made States? Cause she did ) and Athrun was currently busy with Soccer, (he made forward on the soccer team) Mia was busy trying out for cheerleading.
Cagalli was happy that she didn't have to face Mia at the time. She seemed sweet. (Hmmm I think it's the same Mia.) Back to reality!
"So…Kira…" Cagalli began, "when am I ever gonna meet this Lacus Clyne you've been talking about."
Upon hearing Lacus, Kira blushed madly.
"um…mum…mum…um…uh…hmmm…um…" he mumbled.
DING DONG
The doorbell rang as Cagalli ran towards it. Upon opening the door, blue hair and emerald eyes were soon into view causing Cagalli to look away.
"Hey Kira can you take care of him, I need to…umm...fix my hair, " Cagalli lied.
Upon seeing Cagalli, Athrun kept his eyes fixed upon her, seeing as she left to her room, he followed Kira into the kitchen.
As soon as she reached her room, she sat down on her chair facing the mirror looking at her. She felt pathetic at the time. Grabbing her hairbrush, she quickly detangled all the knots in her hair as she grabbed scrunchy, she quickly tied her hair up leaving some golden strands loose.
Standing up, she led herself down the stairways to help Kira, even if he is here.
Unlike school, he knew the way around this house, as if it was his own. No one seemed to be there yet as he helped Kira set up.
"So umm what are the backpacks for?" Athrun asked eyeing four backpacks.
"Did no one tell you?" Kira asked looking at Athrun questioningly.
"Tell me…what?"
"We're sneaking in to the school and having the party on the school's roof," Kira said with a bright grin.
Athrun chuckled at his idea before realizing Cagalli was walking towards the kitchen.
"You guys ready?" She asked, walking towards the green backpack, and trying not to face Athrun.
Kira smiled before answering yep as they all carried a backpack, and Athrun with two.
It was you who made my heart dizzy
You are very bad to me
Walking in silence they arrived at the school seeing Dearka, Miriallia, and the gang…plus Mia…and her LOOK ALIKE?
Kira walked up to the girl, as he smiled dumbly at her. While Cagalli held a questionable look… 'Isn't that Mia? Or is she not…is that Mia?' Cagalli thought as she pointed at the two.
"Pointing in impolite," Athrun whispered in her ear.
Cagalli eyes grew wide as she felt his breath upon her skin. She quickly walked away from him and towards Kira. Athrun on the other hand started walking towards the OTHER Mia.
Our love, none knew aboutThe one even she didn't know about
You made it into nothing"Cagalli…this is Lacus Clyne," Kira said with a bright smile.
Cagalli was confused. She looked toward Lacus then towards Mia, back to Lacus, then Mia. Her head began to hurt badly as she stare at the two.
Athrun walked over with Mia, hands by his side looking towards Cagalli's direction.
"Mia, Lacus, Lacus, Mia, Mia Lacus, Lacus, Mia," Cagalli chanted trying to get the two in order.
Everyone laughed in a hearty way as they looked at Cagalli's face as she tried to decide who's who. Cagalli slowly pouted as she leads the way to the school's rooftop.
Sitting in between Kira and Miriallia, and across from Athrun, she kept her head down afraid to look at him; only once in a while will she keep on eye upon him.
"I GOT THE BEER!!!" Dearka yelled, smiling at his "smartness," and quickly opening a can.
I watched you under my breathThe day you smiled warmly at me
Smiling at Dearka, she took a can of beer trying to drown down everything that has happened that week.
No matter how much I try to forgetNo matter how much I tell myself it's not love
I can't erase that warm smile
Everyone was laughing and enjoying their selves, and by the looks of it, Cagalli seemed to enjoy herself also. Or maybe it was the fact that she already drank five cans of beer.
If we can't bring back the love that is locked upIt will be a secret between you and me
Drowning down her 9th can she slowly got up from her sitting position and began walking towards Athrun's direction. Before reaching him, she soon collapsed upon Mia's body.
Mia looked up at the girl, and soon started smiling trying to get her to wake up. (A/N: Mia is nice in this…. chapter… I'm not saying she's nice in the fic…just this chapter )
Athrun looked towards the direction of the collapsing blonde, Athrun offered to take her home for Kira.
Kira looked a little sad as his friend offered to take his sister home, therefore he'll miss out on the party they're having, but knowing Athrun… he won't take no for an answer.
He quickly picked the blonde up, and set her on his back as both, he and Mia, left to bring her home. Mia trying to give him company.
"That was really fun," Mia began, as she accompanied Athrun in his walk.
"Yeah it was," he said trying to smile at her.
They began to walk and talk about things that they've missed out in each other's lives. But Athrun felt a single drop of tear grazed his face. Knowing it wasn't his tear; he knew it was the blonde's.
Feeling a little nausea, Cagalli quickly got off the blue haired boy and walked in her own direction.
"I can get home from here," she said as she left them.
Mia looked at Athrun as she smiled and said, "I'll walk with her."
Athrun looked at the blonde for the last time before heading back to the school's roof.
I hide behind youAnd I cry behind you
I love you, I love you
"It's ok Mia, I can get home from here it's not too far away," Cagalli said.
Mia smiled tenderly at her before leaving to her home.
On her lonely path to her house, Cagalli began to think about what has happened that week. 'It sure was a crazy week,' she thought.
She laughed at herself while reaching her front door. Feeling around her jeans, she tried to find her keys. As she began to pull the key in the lock, she felt something tickling her forehead. Slowly, Cagalli looked up to find balloons dangling on the door.
Hanging on one of the balloons was a card engraved Cagalli.
She looked inside the card seeing three words.
Happy BirthdayAthrun
'He could've put more thought into this,' she thought. Before opening her house door, she felt some lettering on the back of the card.
Looking at the card once more she read 'rooftop' on the back.
I wanted to say this in a way none can understand
That we are in love
Without a minute to spare, she took off in the direction of the school.
"Aww man, that was a great PARTY!!!" Dearka yelled.
He, Kira, and the gang were all leaving the school taking the shorter route back to Kira's house.
"I have an idea, let's all go trash Kira's house!!" Dearka said, obviously he was wasted.
"Oh you better not!" Kira yelled as he ran after Dearka
"Kids," Yzak said.
Athrun sat alone on the school's rooftop looking at the stars in the sky. No one knew he was there…everyone was too wasted to even seeing him return to the school.Look at me, I am behind you
Now tell her everything
No matter how much I cry of pain
Even if you say you'll come to me
I can't stand your confused eyes
Athrun chuckled to himself, remembering how stupid Kira looked with his head hanging over the side of the school's roof, throwing up.
Getting ready to leave the school, he turned on his heels only to be met with amber eyes.
Hurt her, make me happy, and just love meSo I won't be hurt behind you anymore
Cagalli eyes were filled with tears as she found him. Without thinking, she ran towards Athrun, embracing him.
I'm sorry to her that we couldn't keep our secret
They never wanted to let go, but unknown to them, someone was watching.
No matter how much I try to forgetNo matter how much I tell myself it's not love
I can't erase that warm smile
Slowly breaking the hug, Cagalli looked at him with tears stained eyes, her arms still around his neck.
If we can't bring back the love that is locked upIt will be a secret between you and me
Athrun looked at Cagalli, as her eyes were fixed upon the ground, tears still falling freely from her eyes. He slowly pulled her close and placed a kiss upon her forehead.
A/N: I am in love with that song. The title is Secret or Bimil by Lee Soo Young. It is a Korean song and the story is so pretty. If you guys have seen it, the story line to chapter nine is similar or as I may say VERY similar to the 3 Grace MV's. Definitely watch the first two then watch, Bimil... I always cry when watching Bimil so enjoy. Hope ya'll like these two chapters.
R&R please
