I own nothing...
Athrun's hand was raised in the position for knocking; an almost shocked look crossed his features.
"Well that was quick; I didn't even have to knock this time." He flashed one of his charming smiles and took note of the reactions. They both seemed to blush, one more than the other of course. Shinn pouted
"Shut up, I was just showing Lunamaria out!" He diverted his gaze to a spot on the wall that had suddenly become interesting
"Well couldn't she stay?" Athrun asked, seeing the girls' expression light up, obviously she still liked him.
"No!" he snapped, and regretted it the moment the word left his lips. Lunamaria stood silently, feeling slightly out of place. "T-That's not what I meant..." Shinn quickly said turning to her "It's just that, I thought you said you had to go..." he watched her expression change into a weak smile
"Oh right... maybe I'll stay some other time... bye..." She walked past them down the hall.
"... Isn't she your friend?" Athrun asked looking at the red eyed boy, who seemed some what disturbed by what just happened. Shinn didn't respond; how could he really say anything to Athrun about her other than the obvious?
"Come in..." he sounded somewhat sulky as he stepped to the side. He hadn't noticed how late it was getting. Athrun bowed and stepped into the room closing the door behind him.
"I thought that we could sit down and eat, assuming you hadn't already..." Athrun asked, making the bag in his hand seen. Shinn looked at him oddly.
"No... I haven't eaten." Shinn eyed Athrun for a brief moment, his subconscious asking too many questions
"Then I'll m-" he was cut off
"Do you feel like this is some way of 'burying the hatchet'?" once again, trying to pick a fight when there really wasn't a need too
"What are you talking about?"
"Why do you come over, you're wasting your time trying become good buddies" Shinn's nose crinkled in a disgusted manner
"If you're so annoyed by it, why do you let me in?" Athrun had him there.
"... Out... of courtesy..." Shinn replied, but more timidly than he'd been speaking before
"Really, stop laying to me, and yourself." Athrun glared
"Another one of your, I'm being wronged rants coming on is it? Just go join your little boy friend 'Kira' and get laid, I'm sure you missed him with the way you always called his name like no one else mattered. And then that stupid Cagalli too, what's so great about that blond ditz, I'm sure her cloths have a higher IQ than she could muster!" Of course Shinn was only saying what he thought would hurt Athrun, and the blue haired male didn't look all that happy about what was said.
"What do you have against Kira!" Athrun by now was yelling
"What wouldn't I have against him!" Shinn couldn't help but say, the red eyed boy looked away from Athrun
"Oh... I get it..." Athrun said causing Shinn to look at him with wide eyes "You're jealous..."
"What would I have to be jealous over!" Shinn snarled glaring at nothing
"So... it's my attention you wanted, that's why you were always behaving the way you did... and... you said so yourself... that I call Kira's name like no one else mattered..." Athrun couldn't help but smile, Shinn seemed to become angrier "If it matters any, you have my attention now..." The blue haired teen was relieved when Shinn seemed to calm down, obviously thinking about something.
"... N-No... I just don't like you..." Shinn turned from Athrun, he was starting to leave before he was grabbed, gently pulled back towards the other in the room. "Let me-!" He couldn't finish is sentence when he realized how close to Athrun he was, Shinn's face started to heat up, and even more so when Athrun started talking, the warm breath and gentle words, caressing his ear ever so softly.
"Why are you avoiding the subject...?" Athrun cooed
"... L-let me go, Athrun..." Shinn mentally cursed for stuttering, his body tensed feeling the gaze of his former commander watching him. Shinn struggled slightly underneath the grip, but it was a pathetic attempt
"Shinn..." Athrun sighed keeping his hold "If you'd at least tell me why you're so jealous, then I'll let go..."
"I'm not jealous..." Shinn almost whispered, which was odd coming from the boy that always had something to say, and loudly.
"Then... what is it...?" Athrun asked turning Shinn to get a better look at the boys face, His eyes widened, Shinn was blushing, his eyes covered by a vial of black bangs, lips formed into a thin line and his body seemed... fragile. Athrun couldn't help but smile
"You know Shinn..." Athrun stated, not allowing the boy to answer "If I didn't know any better... I'd say you had a crush on me..." Shinn immediately shot his gaze up towards Athrun's smirking features
"NO!" was all Shinn could come up with, now a mixture of embarrassment joined his expression
"No... I think you do..." Athrun smiled broadly, leaning in so his lips were barely touching the others "If you're so sure you don't like me... then why don't you prove it...?" A challenge and one he couldn't win. Athrun was right, he did like him and he couldn't help but be childish and pick on Athrun when ever he could. Shinn's eyes were wide, and a light gasp passed his lips, and if possible, the blush became even deeper.
"I... I..." was all the red eyed boy could spit forth, and was answered by a small chuckle from Athrun
"So I was right..." with that Athrun let go, to Shinn's displeasure, and placed the bag down on the counter "It's getting late... and I better be heading home if I don't want to be driving in the middle of the night..." Athrun couldn't wipe the small off his face that still lingered on his lips.
"You could stay" Shinn blurted out, in the way a shy school girl would if asking some guy out, and he cursed himself for it. "I mean... you could stay here tonight... if you really don't want to go home now..." Shinn looked down at his feet, preparing for the worst
"Yes, I'd be honored to stay the night Shinn... thank you..." Athrun turned back around to the bag, looking into the top he pulled out a few things, gaining Shinn's attention. "Tell me Shinn... have you ever had wine...?" Athrun turned, holding a bottle of expensive looking liquor in his delicate hands
"No..." of course he hadn't, and he would've yelled that at Athrun too if it weren't for the fact that he was still getting over what had happened a few moments before.
"Then would you like to try some...?" Athrun held the bottle a little higher as is Shinn needed the notion to draw his attention to the liquid
"But isn't wine for special occasions or girls?" Shinn's eyes narrowed as Athrun's smile broadened
"Yes and no... But tonight is the first night I've ever spent here, and reason enough to celebrate." Athrun pulled out a corkscrew, then took the top off, it seemed as though Athrun had planned to stay the night. Shinn slowly went over and retrieved two nicer looking glasses from the cupboard. They were from a set of four that Lunamaria had giving him when he got the place, even though he didn't want it. She insisted, saying they'd come in handy, and she was right. Once he returned to Athrun he shyly held the glasses up, allowing them to be filled. Shinn looked at the red tainted liquid, he wasn't sure if he should trust it or not. Slowly he raised the drink to his lips then stopped
"This smells!" Shinn stated, looking at the wine horrified
"It's supposed to smell like that, and it smells nice..." Athrun chuckled correcting the hot headed boy. He swirled the liquid around in the glass before taking a sip to prove that there was nothing wrong with it. Shinn watched, and then imitated, even though it tasted odd to him, he didn't say anything, he wanted to seem tough in front of Athrun, although that was hard to do seeing as he shivered and then downed the rest, much to Athrun's horror.
"SH-inn..." Athrun sighed, half way through the boys name and the glass had been emptied. "You're not supposed to down it... you're supposed to sip and enjoy the taste..." the blue haired male rubbed his eye brows
"Yeah right, you can down anything!" Shinn glared "Besides, it's not like I'm going to get drunk of a glass of wine!" as true as it was, Shinn did state that he hadn't eaten, and if Athrun's guess was right, Shinn never drank before. So he was bound to get a little tipsy off of the liquor. Athrun smiled
"Would you like some more?"
