Previously:

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.


Chapter Ten

Sitting on the grassy soccer field, facing away from the soccer team, the track team and their coach have been discussing about summer practices. Groans were shared among the teams as they discovered half their summer would be spent at school…school…the one place they've been waiting for nine months to escape from. Yet here they are on the last day of school and the last day of…after school practice, discovering that after the seniors' "beach week," they would have to return to this atrocious place for at least 3 days every other week of their summer.

Luckily for our teen heroine, Cagalli Yula Athha, she was a senior this year. Which means…no more school! Except college…but that's in a different story…not really.

Seniors' "beach week" was three days after graduation, which happens to be tomorrow. Cagalli was ecstatic about the idea of spending a week on a beautiful beach with her friends before they all separate for different colleges, but it is a school trip which means the teachers will also be there. Not to mention she's very excited to see a certain blue haired boy. It's been a week since hers and Kira's birthday party, and it seemed as if their secret was safe. Although something interesting did happen to Athrun and Kira after Kira's hangover was over.

Flashback:

He stilled held her upon his arms before slowly placing his lips to the side of Cagalli's ear. Slowly and softly he whispered three words into her ear, not only tickling her, but also making Cagalli flushed.

"I love you."

Upon hearing that sentence, Cagalli's eyes widen in shock, not exactly expecting him to say it so soon. Her gaze quickly diverted from him to the ground. Not knowing exactly what to do, her eyes slowly began to meet his gaze. Looking at his mesmerizing emerald eyes, Cagalli began to speak.

"I-" She never got a chance to finish as she felt a soft pair of lips upon her own. Her reaction was slow, as her eyes widen in surprise, yet she slowly felt comfortable being there with him as her eyes began to close as she responded to him.

(A/N: I'm gonna try my best to make a description, but I have no experience in this… I know, I'm 15, but I read a lot so…hopefully.)

Both her arms were still on his shoulders as his embrace on her tightened. Sliding her hands around his neck, she pulled his head closer deepening the kiss. Cagalli tried to open her mouth for air, but soon pulled away as she felt his tongue sliding into her mouth. Letting go of him, she quickly turned and looked the other way, her face burning with heat as the slight hint of rose appeared upon her twin cheeks.

Athrun let out a slight chuckle, seeing the innocent Cagalli he fell for.

Hearing his laughing as if mocking her, she turned towards him, glaring at the boy.

"What are you laughing at?" she yelled in a questionable way.

"Nothing…nothing," he breathed out, "Hey…let's get back." He said as he grabbed her slender left hand, pulling her along with him.


As they slowly walk to a two way split, Cagalli decided that she wanted to take the long way home.

Although the walk may be silent, Cagalli can feel the warmth from Athrun's hand, feeling safe as long as she's with him…by his side…always.

Upon reaching their destination, Cagalli heard snoring sounds, and saw glimpse of brown, blond, and…silver hair? Hearing and seeing this, Cagalli quickly let go of Athrun's hand, incase the mysterious people saw them. Inching closer she found, Kira sprawled, faced down on the ground with Dearka on top of him, laying sideways, as Yzak had this angry…drunken look on as he was found next to Kira, facing the sky with Dearka's hands on his face…how pathetic.

Athrun looked questionably at Cagalli as he felt her hand once intertwined with his own, now leaving a cold night breeze softly brushing against his palm. He saw her figure running towards her house, curiosity overcame him as he followed her to see what was happening.

Seeing that wonderful sight, Cagalli and Athrun couldn't help but laugh…HARD! Tumbling to the ground, their laughter never deceased. Never would Cagalli thought to see her own twin brother in this current state. Athrun held his laughter in as he tried to get the guys into the house…I mean…he wouldn't want them to get sick…although they're still get sick when morning comes.

"Hey!" He said trying to catch the blonde's attention.

Slowly getting up from her position, she wiped the droplets of tears away from her face.

"What?" She asked looking at him weirdly.

"Would you mind helping me carry YOUR brother in the house?"

"Gee… I thought you're suppose to be 'STRONG'" she said emphasizing 'strong.'

He glared at her as she gave him a smile, which only caused his glare to decease as he smiled back at her.

She walked towards the two as she helped put Kira on Athrun's back.

"Oh Lacus… I love you sooooooo much!!!!!" Kira said dreamily in his sleep.

"Guys are such morons when they're drunk," Cagalli said looking at her brother.

"Hey!" Athrun started, "I'm not a moron!"

"But are you drunk?"

"…" Athrun was speechless at the time.

"I WIN!" Cagalli said triumphantly.

Walking behind Athrun making sure he didn't drop Kira by some unfortunate events, he kept hearing Kira mutter Lacus' name over and over…it became annoying after awhile.

Upon reaching Kira's room, Athrun didn't bothered to even carefully placed him atop of his bed, he just dropped him, knowing the boy wouldn't wake up. A soft "oomph" escaped Kira's mouth as his body made contact with the mattress.

"So…what about Dearka and Yzak?" Cagalli asked looking at the tired Athrun.

"Just leave them out there," he breathed out.

Cagalli looked at him dumbfounded, "I thought they were your friends!"

"They are…but it's there fault for getting drunk in the first place."

There was no use talking to this guy, therefore, Cagalli left Kira's room to get the two.

"Where are you going?" Athrun asked.

"Getting your so-called friends." She said.

Athrun raced after her and said, "But Cagalli, you don't have the strength to carry them…well you might can carry Dearka, but Yzak has all that hot temper running through him, which might make him weight more."

Cagalli glared at him, which made Athrun regret what he has just said.

"Are you implying that I'm not as strong as you?" she asked, as she was offended.

"…Umm…no?" He said doubtfully.

"Good."

'Oh boy,' Athrun thought as he followed the blonde outside.

Cagalli didn't believe that Yzak could be heavy at all; he looked like a lean guy. As she tried to carry Yzak, she successfully lifted him off the ground. 'I knew I could do this' she thought, but as she took her first step…"OOMPH!"

Athrun hearing the sound, he quickly ran down the stairs only to see Cagalli being squished by Yzak. Athrun let out a small chuckle as he helped Yzak get off Cagalli.

"You were saying," He gave her a smug smile as he carried Yzak to the nearest couch.

Cagalli rolled her eyes at him as she admitted defeat, "Okay…Yzak's heavy…that doesn't mean Dearka is!"

"I might as well get him too, who knows what Dearka will do while he's drunk." Athrun said as he begun to walk toward Dearka.

"But he's out cold."

"He might be hallucinating and thinking that you're Miriallia…"

As Athrun said those words, both he and Cagalli imagined the outcome if Dearka suddenly woke up only to imagine that Cagalli was Mir…oh boy.

Cagalli shivered at the thought, as Athrun ran towards the boy. He recklessly grabbed Dearka by the arm and swung him over his shoulders. As he spun around to walk back inside, Dearka's head suddenly collided with the side of the door.

"OWWWWWW!" Was the only audible word that escaped from Dearka's lips as he mumbled some incoherent words then went back to sleep.

'Man he's a heavy sleeper!' Athrun thought as he dropped Dearka on the other couch.

Cagalli twitched a bit when she saw the impact her door had on Dearka…ow.

"I'm kinda relieved that the girls left early," Athrun suddenly said.

Cagalli let out a soft chuckle as she began to ascend up the stairs.

"HEY! Where are you going?" He accusingly asked pointing his forefinger at her.

"To bed?" Said Cagalli.

"What am I suppose to do?"

"Go home…or…you can sleep with Kira and tell him how much you love his sister, so he can murder you," Cagalli said with a mischievous smile upon her lips.

"You wanna see me killed?" He asked with a hurt tone.

Cagalli smiled at him as she continued her walk upstairs.

Athrun gave her a smirk as he began to run after the blonde. Cagalli seeing his action began to run to her room, trying to escape whatever he wanted. Of course Cagalli outran Athrun, she is on the track team after all. But Athrun was awfully close.

Not having time to lock her door, Cagalli pushed her hands firmly again the smooth surface of her door, as Athrun reciprocated her actions.

"What are you trying to do?" Cagalli asked trying to hold the door against Athrun.

"You'll find out," He said, as the door was gradually beginning to open. 'I'm winning,' Athrun thought.

Cagalli could no longer hold the door, as Athrun was stronger than she. The space between the door and Athrun was slowly widening as Athrun slipped his foot in between the open of the door, making Cagalli stumbled back, as the door opened to reveal Athrun and his devious smile.

Athrun smiled at her as he walked towards Cagalli who was slowly backing away from him. She had on an unsure look, her reaction time wasn't fast enough, as Athrun grabbed her waist and began tickling her.

"A-Athrun! STOP!" She yelled while laughing. Athrun's fingers never deceased with his fingers still at her side. Athrun enjoyed this moment very much. They really didn't notice the time or the light that slowly lit up the dark sky. Someone in his deep slumber was slowly getting up…but whom?

"STOP!" She yelled again wanting Athrun's fingers to stop dancing around her waste.

Stumbling back, her own two feet got caught with each other, causing her to fall on her bed. Athrun took this chance as he grabbed both her wrist and placed it atop of her head.

"I wonder what I should do," Athrun said, having a mischievous grin grazed on his face.


His head was hurting and spinning around like crazy. They practically stayed out all night. Cagalli left a little earlier but it was soon coming to dawn when she left. He felt the urge to throw up as he quickly got up to the nearest bathroom. He splashed some water on his face, god he looked horrible. He also felt horrible and only wished to return back to his comfy bed…wait…his bed? When did he get home? He didn't exactly remember this himself. But sounds of giggles from Cagalli's room caught his attention.

'What in the world…is she already up?' He thought to himself. He slowly walked to her room…making sure every step he held onto the wall as the room was spinning making his head hurt more. He was about to knock, only to somehow notice her door was slightly open. He wasn't able to think, thinking only made his head hurt more.

Opening the door, he had the intention of asking Cagalli to quiet down only to notice she wasn't the only one there. The slash of water caused him to wake up a little, but not enough to make out what that figure…but he had a blue blob on his head…from the neck to the waste was a fuzzy white thing, and black from his waste down. 'Funny, that reminds me of Athrun,' he thought…WAIT ATHRUN!!!

He slowly walked towards that fuzzy object only to see a yellow blob under him. Blonde…that's his SISTER!!! I guess being an overprotective brother, his drunk-ness turned into rage. His nose flared up as his eyes shows glints of hatred towards that blue blob…thing.

Afraid to look at the source of the sound, Athrun's face slowly tilted towards the direction of the sound. 'Wow, Kira looks scary,' he thought.

"Umm…Kira?" Cagalli said looking at her brother. She then looked back at the position she and Athrun was in. Blushing furiously, she pushed Athrun off her, but this still didn't cause the death glare Kira gave to Athrun.

Athrun gave an unsure smile and a small chuckled, "…Umm…I'll go check on the two…see ya!" He tried to make an excuse as he darted off towards the others.

Drunk or not, Kira took off right after Athrun, yelling, "HOW DARE YOU!"

Oh boy…Cagalli ran after her brother, making sure he wouldn't do anything.

As soon as she reached the living room, the image of Kira strangling Athrun appeared. Actually this was kinda fun to watch, but Cagalli couldn't let either one of them get hurt as she darted towards the two trying to release Athrun from Kira's death grip.

Moans were heard as Dearka got up hearing the ruckus.

"Mommy, can you keep it down?" He said unconsciously. He probably was the most wasted among the three, but the brown, yellow, and blue blob didn't go unnoticed by him. "Oh…pretty colors."

Yzak let out a sigh as he stretched his muscle, relaxing in his position. He was the least waste, and the scene before him interested him.

Athrun was quickly losing air, he would fight back, but he didn't want to hurt Kira.

Cagalli didn't know what to do, but a light bulb soon lit up atop of her head as she grabbed the back of Kira's neck. His death grip soon loosened as his head tilted backwards and his shoulder rises trying to get the feeling off his neck. He started rocking from side to side trying to direct his attention away from his neck, also laughing like a maniac. (A/N: Is it just me…or is anyone else ticklish behind his or her neck?)

Athrun quickly took in air as fast as possible, as he felt the passage to his lungs opening.

"Stop, stop, stop, stopstopstopstopstopstopstopstop!" He yelled trying to get the object off his neck.

She was hesitant, but released her fingers from the back of his neck.

He quickly stood up yelling, "WHAT WERE YOU TWO DOING?" starling the three.

"MOMMY!" Dearka yelled waking up from his slumber. He looked around feeling pretty awkward. He wasn't at home…and he just yelled 'mommy' in a strange…well kinda…strange place.

"Umm…" Cagalli and Athrun began, but were cut short.

"Oh I'll tell what you two were doing, you were…you were…ahhhhhh," Kira's sentence turned into a cry of depression.

"OH SNAP!" Dearka yelled, you two were…he wiggled around making a snapping sound with his fingers and his tongue.

"NOOOOO!" They yelled.

"Then what WERE you two doing?" Kira yelled furiously.

They were unsure of what to say, so they started from the beginning.

END FLASHBACK:

Cagalli laughed at the memory, but she did felt guilty. Every time she saw Mia, she doesn't know what to do or say, but only gave her a small smile. Cagalli doesn't know why, but she never failed to get impacted by Mia upon her shoulders. She was convinced that it was an accident, but how many times can an accident by an accident?

Basically their "secret" is no longer a secret…except from her. Maybe.


A/N: OMG this took awhile...I hate distractions. I would've updated this faster if it weren't for summer school. It's kinda funny how people always assume you failed a class if you're in summer school. I absolutely dispise summer school...I just can't wait til the driving the portion of it. R&R please.
