I hope you're all happy... I now have a doughnut... Thanks for the reviews...

And so ya all know... it has a plot... I'm just mean and don't like to give it away right away... plus it's not all fluff O.o; those annoy me...

"N-no... I'm good" Shinn shook his head, he could only guess at about how much liquor was actually in a glass of wine, Athrun seemed to know

"Well... if you want more, it'll be on the counter." Athrun smiled, sipping at the liquid, there was a short silence that was uncomfortable for Shinn rather than Athrun, the younger of the two started looking for reasons to tease Athrun, to get an argument going if possible.

Nothing

Athrun placed the half drunk glass on the counter, his hands resting behind him "S-?" he started

"You'll need a blanket... And a pillow..." Shinn spat out rather quickly leaving the kitchen, Athrun walked out of the room leaning against the frame as he watched the younger boy go through the closet

"Would you like some help?" Athrun offered, knowing Shinn would refuse it

"No!" as predicted.

Moments later Shinn dropped the load onto the couch, Athrun sighed as the younger coordinator fumbled with the fabric.

"Why don't you live with anyone...?" Athrun asked looking around "I mean, I've been here before, and there's no other bed room save yours..." Shinn slowly stopped working on the blankets, the liquor helping him relax a bit as he went back to work

"I prefer being alone." That was a lie, he hated it, and he hated the idea in general.

"I see..." Athrun didn't question further, obviously if Shinn didn't want to tell him anything, it'd be pointless to try to question him further. The younger teen finished with the temporary bed, sitting down on it, Athrun took that as a silent invitation to join the other on the 'bed'.

"Shinn... as I was going to say before, I like you... you're really a good kid... But, you take things to the extreme." Athrun wasn't laying about that

"I do not!" Shinn protested, determined to keep what little of his good name was left, untarnished.

"Yes... you do... Remember, you almost killed me." Athrun leaned back on the couch closing his eyes.

"I... well... Rey told me that... I thought at the time it was the right thing to do..."

"Rey talked you into it?" Athrun asked almost plainly

"... Just drop it..." the red eyed boy grumbled "I'm going to bed..."

"Without supper!" Athrun sat upright grabbing the boy's shoulders "I completely forgot about that!" letting go, the blue haired male stood up walking over to the kitchen, leaving a dumbfounded Shinn to stair blankly at the empty door frame

Listening to the sounds that came from Athrun busy at work, Shinn smiled. It'd been so long since someone had thought to make dinner for him. Sure, Lunamaria often brought over something for them to share, but it wasn't anything she made. Athrun, he had come to admire and become more infatuated with his former ranking officer as time went by. It's been so long, maybe too long since he last let someone in his heart, and maybe it was about time that he started. Athrun seemed to be willing to, and he wasn't sure if that 'I like you' was the same way Shinn felt, could it be that Athrun and himself could eventually become an item. The thought made him blush lightly. No, he thought, Athrun wouldn't replace that 'like' with 'love', that'd be too good to be true, Shinn wanted so badly to hear those words. Lunamaria would only be like a sister to him, and nothing more, he started to see her more and more as one for the way she acted towards him, and the time they kissed... he felt nothing. Athrun on the other hand... he wanted to kiss him more than anyone else. But; Athrun was, even if he wouldn't admit it to anyone else, intimidating. He was successful, strong willed, and knew exactly what to say... how could he compare to that? Shinn sunk into the couch, with each thought making him sink lower and lower till at last he was looking up at the ceiling. The white speckles that dotted the roof made little pictures if he concentrated hard enough. Soon his eyes became narrow as he focused on a particular spot.

"What are you looking at?" Athrun's voice caught his attention and the disembodied voice found its owner as the emerald eyed males face appeared into his vision, only to have Shinn scream and move out of the way.

"Have some decency, and don't scare me!" Shinn yelled, his hand clutching his chest in a futile attempt to calm his heart beat.

"... Right..." Athrun said slowly, placing a bowl filled with rice, tendon, and a cup filled with tea. "I'm sorry; it took longer than I thought." Athrun sat down beside Shinn

"... It's okay, I didn't notice." The orphan wasn't laying about that. He'd been staring at the point on the ceiling that looked like his younger sister. Trying to see if he could add more to the picture than just a face and hair, He failed. Shinn picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

Moments later, after the meal had been eaten in an awkward silence, Shinn gathered the empty dishes, not mentioning the fact that Athrun's cooking was good, he placed the dishes in the sink. The bottle sitting on the counter caught his eye. Athrun never did finish his glass. A smirk crossed his lips. There are so many mean and horrible things he could put in that drink, like ex-lax or Yohimbe... assuming he had those tucked away in his cupboard. Shinn wrinkled his nose, no, that'd be too mean. He grabbed the glass half filled with wine, forming his lips into a small line. He still thought it smelt off. He then grabbed the liquor and his empty glass end went back into the room. Only to find Athrun was lying down.

Athrun's arm was draped over his face, covering his eyes, his long sleeved jacket, which he never took off, helping to cover them further. His blue hair gently outlining his already stunning features, making his face all the more noticeable. His lips were parted taking in deep, even breaths as his chest rose and fell. Shinn's eyes traveled down along Athrun's stretched form, his attention being caught by the fact that Athrun's green shirt had somehow worked its way up slightly to reveal a small amount of flesh. Shinn's eyes widened as thoughts raced through his mind. And if he could think straight, thanks to never really having consumed alcohol and starting to feel warm, he would've stopped himself from placing the glasses and bottle down on the table quietly. Why so quiet, so that he could kneel down beside Athrun to get a better look.

"Athrun..." Shinn whispered, to see if he was awake, and if he whispered louder Athrun might've heard him. Shinn's tongue absently stuck out to the side of his mouth, as he leaned a little closer... and closer still. He stopped mere millimeters from his goal, how fruitless this kiss would be if it were only on his part. His eyes saddened the more he thought about it. Sure, he'd be able to finally taste those lips... but... this would only hurt Athrun. But since when did he care... since always... Shinn sighed "Gomen ne Athrun..." Shinn whispered in a meek tone, still as quiet as before.

Athrun blinked behind his arm, why had Shinn stalled? He was right that Shinn had a crush on him... why was he apologizing? Athrun took this opportunity to allow his hand to slip off from his face and place it behind Shinn's head. The younger boy's eyes widened as he felt the hand, and then lips. Shinn blushed, feeling butterflies in his stomach would be the right turn of fraise, but he'd never say it... it'd be too girly. The kiss was sweet and chaste, until Athrun broke it.

"Awe... you're blushing..." Athrun teased the moment he could talk

"I AM NOT!" Shinn's face became even more flushed.
