Hey hey minna-san...it's been awhile. Lol I'd like to begin this update by apologizing for taking so long with this update and I'd like to thank all of you for waiting patiently as I gathered my thoughts together to come up with this chapter. This installment will be short, but fun...as I intended it to be because I want the chapter after this to be a longer, more romantic one. So for now, I hope everyone enjoys this little bit of fun I came up with for this chapter...and now on to the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own GS, GSD, and the AsuCaga sweetness that's about to take place in this story...it would be nice if I did though ne? Lol
-His Favorite Things- Chapter 6 -Twister, Athrun Style -
-October 29th, CE 75- Location: Country of Orb , Carnival 10 Miles From The Athha Estate. Time: 4:00pm -
Cagalli came stomping out of the fun house fit to kill. Little children clung to their mothers' skirts at the sight of Orb's Lioness seething with rage barreling straight through them. She didn't have time to consider formalities. She was now on a quest to defeat her most difficult opponent to date...Athrun Zala.
He had elusively avoided everything she'd thrown at him today, which was totally ruining her plans to give him the perfect birthday she had so desperately wanted to give him. As she wandered through the amusement park, she frantically looked behind rides, buildings, even behind garbage cans and cars in the parking lot. The golden-haired goddess of victory gave up about halfway through this futile attempt to catch the lightening fats Coordinator and proceeded to plop down on a nearby bench right next to the fried dough stand.
She heaved a heavy, frustrated sigh and grumbled to herself: "Just once I'd like to know what goes through his mind when he does stuff like this." "Why does he have to choose to be more spontaneous now of all times?!" "I wonder what his next slick move is gonna be?" She turned a slight red as she just now remembered that a mere few minutes ago Athrun had been fondling her in the fun house. Boy were they lucky that nobody happened to be there at the time...she could only imagine what little kids, the future of Orb; would think if they saw their current leader being groped by her boyfriend in public. She shuddered at the lecture she'd probably get from Kisaka on that matter, not to mention the fact that her really overprotective brother would probably have ripped Athrun to shreds after what had just went on.
She tapped her fingers on the hard, mahogany wood of the bench's railing, deeply immersed in thought. The day was quickly passing and she still wasn't able to find out a single thing about what Athrun wanted for his birthday, not to mention she hadn't even bought a damn cake yet. Just when she thought all hope was gone, she caught a glimpse of blue hair near the games area. She immediately leapt out of her seat and made a mad dash for the games.
The Lioness of Orb stopped short right in front of the game that their friends Miriallia and Dearkka happened to be running...and standing right next to the tanned lieutenant, and directly across from her; stood the man she was looking for.
Athrun chuckled as he knew he didn't even need to call out to her because that intense glare she was giving him pretty much said it all. He smiled and gave her a friendly wave, and as expected; her response was an even more intense, extreme glare. However, what the fiery blonde did next was not expected at all. She threw money on the table Miri was running and with a scary smirk on her face declared: "I want in on this next round...but..." She pointed a stern finger at the emerald-eyed Coordinator: "...he has to be my competition and first to fall has to do whatever the winner asks them to do!"
A slight chuckle escaped Athrun Zala's mouth before a mischievous smirk appeared on his face in it's place as he stepped forward, tossed his black jacket aside, and replied with a competitive wave of his hand in her direction: "Let's see what you've got...Hime-sama."
He noticed her turn a slight red in embarrassment at being called "Hime" by him like that in public before she hissed: "Enough talk, let's do this!" "Miri...spin that wheel!"
Miriallia chuckled as she nodded and spun the game's colorful wheel. When it finally stopped, Dearkka called out the directions: "Cagalli-chan...right foot blue!" the fiery blonde approached the Twister mat and placed her foot on the color in question.
Next, Dearkka spun the wheel for Athrun and Miri called out: "Athrun-san...left hand yellow!"
The blue-haired Coordinator walked casually up to the mat and placed his left hand on the yellow spot, which happened to be very close to Cagalli's leg, causing her to blush a little.
Miriallia spun the multi-colored wheel again and listened as Dearkka called out: "Cagalli-chan...left hand green!"
Cagalli reluctantly placed it there as it brought her nearly face to face with Athrun.
The game continued on in it's normal fashion with a few awkward moments where it looked, at times; as if they were doing some kind of dance on that board. It wasn't until fifteen minutes into the game when Cagalli was beginning to feel some cramps in her legs, when things started to get a little interesting when Miri spun the wheel and Dearkka called out: "Cagalli-chan...right hand red!"
The golden-haired goddess of victory placed her right hand on the red dot. Then, little did she notice in the midst of all of this; Dearkka whisper something to Miri, who smirked slightly and nodded. Miriallia watched as her tanned companion spun the wheel and she called out: "Athrun-san...left hand yellow!" She and Athrun exchanged secretive winks as he placed his hand on the yellow spot.
Now, to the spectators of this game; Athrun looked like he was about to molest her as the way he was positioned was basically right on top of her.
Cagalli was now blushing a bright red in nervousness and embarrassment, while Athrun seemed to be showing no signs at all of fatigue or embarrassment. He was thoroughly enjoying himself that irritated her beyond belief, but oddly enough; she also found that a new attractive quality she was just now witnessing in him.
Miriallia spun the wheel and Dearkka called out with a mischievous glint in his eyes: "Cagalli-chan...you got our first bonus square of the afternoon. If you can complete this one move without falling down, you automatically beat Commander Zala!" "Do you accept this challenge?!"
Cagalli's amber eyes glistened happily at the thought of her opponents defeat as she declared: "Bring it on Elsman!"
The tanned lieutenant grinned wickedly: "Good...that's what I hoped you'd say." "Okay...Cagalli-chan...both hands...on Zala's ass!"
The blonde lioness felt her face burn red hot as she heard a couple of wolf whistles from the audience as she hissed at Dearkka: "That can't be a choice!!"
Dearkka chuckled: "It is for this particular game I'm afraid."
The princess of Orb's head immediately whipped around so she could look Athrun right in the eyes as she hissed: "You knew I'd challenge you all along didn't you?!" "You had this all planned out from the beginning!" When she saw the slight smirk appear on his face, she nodded: "Ahhh...okay...I see, so now I get it." She hissed in Athrun's ear: "You paid him off on this hours ago didn't you?!"
Athrun simply smiled his usual innocent smile as he replied: "Now why would I do something as sneaky as that?"
It was here that the emerald-eyed Coordinator thought the blonde in front of him was about to scream at him again, but instead she smiled that mischievous smile again as she whispered in his ear: "Don't think you've won just yet Zala."
His eyes widened as she slowly and carefully lifted one hand off the Twister mat and placed it on his butt.
Cagalli giggled to herself as she noticed Athrun's face turn a slight red as she did this. Confident that she could ultimately pull this off, she smiled in triumph as she began to lift her right hand off the mat. However, this happiness was short lived as at that very moment, the cramp she was getting in her left leg finally took it's toll on her and brought the lioness of Orb down to lay flat on her back, Athrun on top of her; pinning her to the mat in the most ultimate, public, and not to mention; intimate of K.O.'s known to man. She now lay there in shock and anger wondering if the gods of Haumea were against her today.
In the meantime, her blue-haired companion smirked as he hovered over her and whispered hotly in her ear: "I believe I just won."
Cagalli grumbled, red-faced in embarrassment as she pouted: "Just get it over with." "What do you want me to do?"
Athrun shook his head firmly, the small, playful smirk still on his face as he replied: "You don't have to do anything...just lay there." "I'll be claiming my prize right now." With that, he placed a sweet, lingering kiss upon her honey-colored lips and declared as he helped the shocked princess sit up: "I can't have you beat me just yet." and just like that, he'd disappeared again, leaving Cagalli red-faced, flustered, and irritated as she growled: "What the hell!?!?" "Not again!!!!!"
