DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN GUNDAM SEED/DESTINY
"WHAT?! MARRIED?!"
The blonde clamped her hands on each of her friends mouth and shushed thfem. She scowled at them and looked around checking whether someone heard their sudden out bursts or not. When the coast was clear she sighed. "Can you guys lower down your voices! Nobody can know about this!"She hissed at them.
The pink haired girl removed the hand over her mouth and giggled. "Sorry, But you surprised us" She said calmly. "Who knew you two were in that kind of relationship with him right, Milly?"She teased her blonde friend. "You never even told us"
"Yeah, yeah!"Miriallia or better known as Milly nodded in agreement. She grinned at Cagalli and pulled her in between her and Lacus."Details. Tell us the details! I'm already disappointed enough because you didn't even invite us to your own wedding"She pouted and crossed her hands on her chest.
"It's a shame that the less experience one beats us in just one night right, Milly?" Lacus had a glint of mischievousness hinting in her baby blue eyes.
The auburn haired nodded her head and grinned at Cagalli. "I agree. I was hoping Lacus be the one who gets married first...but I guess I someone else got a step ahead of us~" Miriallia said, feigning disappointment. "
Lacus nodded her head. "Maybe she is far ahead of us" She teased.
Miriallia snickered and nudged Cagalli. "So..how is he?"
"H-how is who? Huh?"Cagalli looked at Miriallia stupidly and blinked twice. "What do you mean?"
Her auburn head sighed and slapped her hand on her forehead. Of course, Cagalli didn't understand what she meant. She leaned closer to the blonde and whispered to her what she was trying to say. Lacus burst out giggling when Cagalli turned bright red when Miriallia elaborated her question to Cagalli. Knowing Cagalli, she had never been in any kind of relationship before and asking her something about private matters that should remain in the bedroom so bluntly was new to her and she couldn't help but turn red as a tomato.
"YOU GUYS ARE C-CRAZY!" She abruptly stood up and stared at her friends who were both laughing at her.
"Aha! Blushing like a real school girl finally!" Miriallia teased again. "So?" She nudge Cagalli and grinned at her like a cheshire cat. "What did happen? HMMM?"
"So, how is the married life then?" Kira asked as he and Athrun watched over the girls below them gossip like old ladies.
Athrun had actually mailed Kira the day after their marriage, telling him that he was now a married man. Kira had called him back asking if it was a joke or not. I mean, who gets married at the start of your senior high so suddenly? When Athrun went down to the details Kira believed it to be real.
Athrun sighed and gazed down at Cagalli who slapped Miriallia by the shoulder and started talking to her friends animatedly. She laughed and crossed her legs and frowned at whatever her friends were talking about and sighed again. "One word. Hell."
The brunette burst out laughing and clapped his hands like a walrus, amused at his best friend's reply. "Are you serious? So nothing miraculous happened the whole weekend? Not even a bit?"
The blue haired turned around, his back now at the window and his elbow on rested the window sill. He looked at Kira tiredly and shook his head. "The only thing that miraculously happened is me surviving her attempts to throw the dishes at me... She is just one tenacious little tigress. My charms aren't working on her, not even a bit." He replied remembering his first afternoon with Cagalli.
Cagalli was cleaning up the dishes they had used for lunch. Via was worried about her daughter and ended up bringing them lunch just to check how they were doing. She didn't stay long. All his mother in law did was asked how were they settling and gave them her beef stew from her small restaurant and left after.
He silently stalked behind the humming blonde and wrapped his hands around her waist. "Ca~galli" She was in a good mood the whole morning and for the first time they finally had a small real conversation over lunch. He thought maybe they're slowly moving a step forward with their marriage or maybe he had finally charmed her.
Feeling his presences behind her, Cagalli gasped and looked back to find her face inches away from Athrun and his arms laced around her petite waist. "What the fuck are you doing?!" She asked trying to pull his hands away from her.
"Quality time with my wife?" Athrun kidded. He knew he was done for it when Cagalli started shaking...in anger.
"Zala!" Cagalli growled and immediately he drew his hands away from her and made a run for it before she threw the utensils and dishes at him.
"I was just joking"
"So even the great Athrun Zala cannot tame her then?"Kira chuckled as he looked down at his girlfriend and her friends at the garden they were resting at. "Are you sure you haven't done anything to make her hate you?"
"I don't know about that but she gets along with everyone else except me. What's wrong with me then?"Athrun sighed again. His best friend shrugged his shoulders and called out to Lacus. He gave her a wave and Lacus waved back followed by Miriallia and Cagalli. Athrun looked down and tried smiled at Cagalli but the blonde would just turn her head away and ignore him.
"Finally, the class is over!" Cagalli yawned and stretched her hands out. Upon opening her eyes, Athrun was standing beside her table and fumbling with her phone. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU-"
"Okay, got your number" He grinned and dropped her phone gently back on her desk and checked his phone. Most likely he was saving her contact info. "I might go home late today" He said leaning forward as he whispered in her ear. "See ya, Mrs. Zala. Lock the doors before you sleep alright?" He chuckled and gave her a pat on the back before leaving her dumbfound.
"So, what did your hubby say?" Miriallia asked her as she sat on the seat infront of Cagalli's table.
Cagalli rolled her eyes at the endearment."The weird jerk said he'll come home late" She replied as she flip her phone close after checking the content. "Not that I care if he comes home late. He's probably going to his usual group dates anyway" she said nonchalantly.
"w-wait! Group dates!? How did you know?" Miriallia gasped and looked at Cagalli seriously. "Did he tell you he was going to one?"
"He didn't tell me. " Cagalli said knowingly and leaned on her seat. "He was practically shouting about it the whole afternoon to his friends. "
Miriallia gaped at how calm her friend was. "You've got to be kidding me. Aren't you suppose to stop him?"She pounded on the desk once and leaned towards her friend. "He is a married person!"
The blonde stood up from her seat and collected her bag. "So?"
"So?" Her friend stared at her incredulously A married young man in a group date would be so wrong. "Aren't you two suppose to be lovey-dovey and why aren't you mad?" She asked making Cagalli laughed.
"5 questions in less that 2 minutes Milly. Relax! And I don't care about him. It just happens we are living under one roof right now. Whatever his agenda is, I don't care. I might as well lock all the door later so that he can't get it." Cagalli replied.
Miriallia sighed and gave up on Cagalli. "Argh, Fine, let's just go out with Lacus and eat some cake "
"That's a better idea" the blonde beamed at her. "Let's go!"
The rest of the afternoon passed by like a blur, Cagalli ended up narrating her first weekend with Athrun to her friends and they couldn't help but laugh at how crazy their mothers ( Via and Lenore) can get just to make them stay together. Their first weekend together ended up with Cagalli getting mad at Athrun's constant teases, how Cagalli attempted to lock Athrun in the bathroom so that she could make a run for it back to her mother and how the clothes in their closet were all filled with what Cagalli would describe as "hideous clothes"
Cagalli opened their white painted closet and scowled at the contents. Not only did her luggage have been tampered with even the clothes in their current house had the same contents as her luggage did. Every single clothes were more feminine and was not her style. All of them were switched with dresses, skirts,shorts, girly blouses and only few shirts and pants. Heck, even her undergarmets were swapped with new ones. Much to her dismay.
She tied the green robe securely on her waist and pulled out the romper from the rack and cringed. "Mother..." She groaned. She could almost hear her mother giggling behind her. Her operation revamp Cagalli's closet had become successful and Cagalli already had the urge to lit the whole closet on fire.
"Oh, why don't you wear that"
The blonde turned around to find Athrun leaning on the door frame with a towel on his head and a few droplets falling down his grey shirt.
"W-who said you can come in?" Caught by surprise, Cagalli gasped and clutch the piece of clothing to her chest in an attempt to cover herself up a bit.
"Well, this is my room too and ...uh" Realizing their situation, Athrun turned around and slightly blushed. Cagalli had just gone out from the bathroom and only had a short robe covering her up. Before he could even step out of the room a slipper already made it up to his face.
"PERVERT!"
After a few minutes, Cagalli came down or more like stomped her way down to the kitchen wearing a pair of black leggings and an oversize shirt. Athrun sighed and leaned back on the sofa. And here he was hoping to see her dress a little more lady like. Cagalli ended up wearing one of the newly folded shirts meant for him.
"See you around then?"Athrun said at his tanned friend and waved him a goodbye. "Thanks for the lift"
"Anything for an old pal" His friend grinned at him before leaving the house.
Athrun Zala glanced back at his wrist watch and looked at the dimmed house. "11:45 "He mumbled. " Hmm, shouldn't she be still awake at this hour?"He asked himself as he tried to fish his spare keys out from his back pocket when a thought hit him. She might have ran away back to her mother leaving him alone. Immediately, he rushed towards the door and opened it in panic. When he successfully unlocked the door he found the whole first floor was darkened except for the living room that was emitting a faint light. He peeked at the living room and saw the television still turned on but he couldn't find of his wife.
He walked towards the sofa facing back at the entrance of the room and looked over it only to find Cagalli asleep with the blanket slowly slipping off her body. Athrun sighed a relief. She was still in the house. He chuckled at himself and lightly hit his head for thinking too much.
He gently pulled the remote from her hand and placed it on the table. He knelt on the floor just beside Cagalli and slowly tried to fix her position on the sofa carefully not to wake her up and tucked her in under the blanket she had gotten from the bedroom.
A small smile tugged the corner of his lips as he watched her sleep like a child. Her blonde hair sprawled on the pillow in different directions, her mouth slightly parted and her fist balled near her face like a looked even prettier when she wasn't thrashing around the house and yelling at him. "Good night, Cagalli" He whispered and gently pressed his lips on her forehead.
The following day, Cagalli was awaken by the crackling sounds from the kitchen. She stretched her arms out and blinked several times. She tried to recall everything she did yesterday. She was alone in the house until she fell asleep. She remembered attempting to cook dinner after finishing her homework but failed. Her curry turned out to be some kind of food from a different dimension so she opted for a take out and decided to lock the doors so that Athrun couldn't get inside but she was hearing weird noises from the kitchen.
"A burglar?" She thought and grabbed the closet thing she could grab to protect herself and stalked towards the kitchen. She raised her arms in a batting position ready to smack whoever broke in the house with whatever she was holding in her hands.
"It would take you more than the remote to knock me out Cagalli"his voice said knowingly.
The blonde dropped her guard down and stared at the person standing a few meters away from her. Athrun Zala, in his casual clothes and an apron over it, was setting down a plate of sunny side up egg on the table. He smirked at her unreadable expression and greeted her."Good Morning"
"How did you...But I" Cagalli stuttered and looked alternately outside and back to him. "Are you some kind of ghost who passes through locked door!?" She blurted out.
Athrun laughed at her randomness and shook her head. "Yes, Yes I am. I was given by the mother ghost a key to enter your locked humble abode last night and watch over someone who kept on drooling all over the living room."
"What?!"
"I said Eat up. I can't believe you ate a Chinese take out again. " He said ignoring her last statement and ushering her to take a seat beside him. "If you keep continue eating take outs you're gonna die early."
"It's not your problem." She frowned and took the seat across him. She inhaled and stared at the mouthwatering dishes prepared on her table.
Athrun leaned forward and smiled. "I like your bed hair." He started as he looking at her disarrayed blonde hair.
She frowned and angrily forked the hotdog in front of him. "One more comment from you.. I swear this fork is gonna fly right to your face"
"Somebody didn't wake up on the right side of the bed" He smiled and poured honey over his freshly cooked pancake.
"I wasn't sleeping on a bed, you smartass."Cagalli answered back and bit on her bread. She didn't look at Athrun thinking his smirk would only annoy her more. They remained quiet for the remaining minutes of their breakfast and when she was done she remembered today was still a school day. "By the way what time is it?"
"Uhm, quarter to eight"Athrun read the clock and stare it for a few seconds.
Realization dawning at them, both amber and emerald eyes widened and stared at each other. "SHIT!"
In the end, the two of them arrived in their third period because the two of them had to race and fight over who gets to take a bath first. Luckily, their third period was a free period since their teacher was absent so they were safe. Sorta.
"Looks like somebody woke up late today" Miriallia grinned her seatmate who just arrived. "Anything good happened"
The blonde groaned, refusing to reply and slumped her head on her desk. Maybe, something happened.
