Chapter 16: Fun in the cold


It was her very first kiss ever. The moment every girl dreams about; Cagalli thought, 'This…seems so perfect'.

But soon snapped out of the kiss when she realized who she was sharing it with, Cagalli pulled back and push Athrun a little, while her cheeks were bright red. Athrun chuckled and brushed a few strands of hair off her face, which made her go even more red.

Then just as Athrun braced himself for a severe beating he saw Cagalli look up at the sky and put her hand out; a smile was on her face "It's snowing!" she exclaimed.

Athrun looked up too and saw tiny snowflakes falling lightly from the sky; he smiled and shrugged out of his jacket. "Here" he said putting it around Cagalli's shoulders "But…But…Thank you" she told him quietly the two enjoyed a few moments of silence, but Cagalli broke it "You know when I was little I always asked my mother why snow was white. As I grew up I came to the conclusion that the reason why snow is white is because it forgot what color it's supposed to be" she turned to Athrun when he put a hand around her shoulders and started to talk.

"I don't really know why snow is white, but I find white snow beautiful, and I don't dislike it at all" he replied truthfully looking into Cagalli's eyes. She looked away and smiled brightly "Can I go home now?" "No" Athrun answered smirking. "What? Why not?" Cagalli demanded crossing her arms across her chest, "Because I said so. Now if you want to go home be a good girl and give me a kiss, then I shall give you a ride home" he told her.


Kira sighed and chewed on a new piece of gum and voiced out his current situation "I'm stuck in a basement, sittin' on a tricycle; girl gettin' on my nerves. Going out of my mind, I thought she was fine; don't know if her body is hers".

"Kira isn't this wonderful!" Fllay squealed, poor Kira after Cagalli had called he was dragged into Fllay's house because of the heavy snowfall. He had protested that he could walk home in the storm but Fllay was persistent, he hated being so soft. The one way he knew he was going to make it through was from the texts from Shinn who was "trying" to bust him out. 'I hope Shinn is trying REAL hard to GET ME OUT OF THIS HELL HOLE' he thought.

His phone vibrated; it was another message from Shinn

Hey captain Marshmallow, how's it goin?

Kira growled and replied:

Y R U callin me Captain Marshmallow?

Shinn wrote back:

Because ur as soft as a Marshmallow

Kira gave up on texting Shinn and instead called Athrun; but first he didn't want Fllay to know. "Uh Fllay where is the bathroom?" Kira asked "Down the hall and to your left" she replied smiling. Kira ran to the bathroom and locked himself in 'Pick up! Pick up or else I WILL kill myself!' Kira thought "Hello?" "ATHRUN GET YOUR ASS HERE THIS INSTANT OR ELSE I'LL KILL YOU WHEN YOU COME TO HELL!" Kira blasted into the phone.

"Whoa! Kira calm down! Now where exactly is 'Here'" Athrun asked a little nervous, thinking that Kira knew that Cagalli was with him. "Fllay trapped me in her house now get me out of here, because Shinn is no help at all" Kira whispered. "Alright I'll come…geez how the hell do you get yourself into these situations?" Athrun sighed and hung up.

Kira sighed "Yah how do I do it?" he walked out of the bathroom and sadly thought about what he could be doing now with his girlfriend Lacus.

"Oh no!" Fllay wailed making Kira look up "I broke a nail! This won't do!" she said and started to take off her press on nails. Kira looked disgusted "Alright Fllay, in the past three hours you've takin' off your eye lashes, your finger nails and some hair extensions. Now what other part of your body can I buy at the mall?" he wanted to know.


Cagalli looked at Athrun curiously "What did Kira want?" she asked slowly still sitting on the hood of his car; because she refused to kiss him again.

Athrun sighed and explained as he got up from the hood of the car "C'mon babe I have to take you home before I go get Kira" Athrun said extending his hand to Cagalli, Cagalli hesitantly took his hand and before she knew it she was pulled into another kiss with him.

"See now that wasn't so hard. I told you I would get that kiss!" Athrun grinned boyishly. Cagalli wiped her lips "Bastard" she said with a smile.


As soon as Athrun dropped Cagalli home he raced over to Fllay's house and now was currently sitting in his car thinking of how to bust Kira out.

Athrun looked at the time '10:30' sighed and pulled out his phone "I'm outside now what do I do?" "Hmmm well there is a window in the bathroom" Kira answered.

"Kira you're too fat to fit through a window!" Athrun joked. "THAT'S IT! I WAS GONNA GO EASY ON YOUR SORRY ASS FOR TAKING CAGALLI OUT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION BUT NOW YOUR REALLY GONNA GET IT WHEN I GET OUT" Kira fumed.

Athrun held the phone away from his ear "H-how did you know?" he asked surprised. "Dumbass who do you think Cagalli is more loyal to? You or me? She texted me right after she called me" Kira told him smugly.

"Well then Mr. I-gonna-kick-your-ass good luck getting outta that hell hole!" Athrun retaliated. "Why you! C'mon man! Help me….or I'll get Cagalli to beat you up!" "You need your cousin to fight your battles! Aw how sweet!" "Apparently you don't know who owns that baseball bat you got beat with…Now just shut up and help me get outta here!" Kira said.

"Alright, alright! Geez!" Athrun grumbled as he thought of a plan "Kira when I ring the doorbell get ready to run out" Athrun spoke. "Get ready! I was ready five hours ago" Kira said walking up the stairs. "By the way how long were you stuck there?" "I'll explain when I get out…long story" Kira sighed.

"Well that's nice considering that, that's the only long thing you have" Athrun chuckled and hung up before Kira could retort.

Athrun counted to ten silently in his head and then got out of his car and walked up to the door. He rang the bell two times and waited for the door to open, it was freezing outside and poor Athrun was shivering "Damn of all times he decides he needs my help!" Athrun mumbled. He turned to glance back at his car which was still on.


As the doorbell rang Fllay was hesitant to answer it. "I wonder who that could be?" Kira asked as he came up from the basement "It must be a door-to-door salesman" she answered smoothly walking up to Kira and putting her hands around his neck.

Kira's smile faltered a lot as he tried not to pry her away from his body, "You know Fllay" he started sexily "I think that I should answer the door I wouldn't want anyone to hurt you…and we don't know who's behind the door. So as a man I believe that it is my duty to answer the door" he ended eyeing his boots 'Oh minor correction…I know who's behind that door' he thought. Normally Kira would be the last one who would offer to get the door but as they say 'Desperate times, calls for desperate measures!'.

Fllay squealed 'Kira is just so….hot! And manly' "Alright you go get the door" she purred letting go of him and moving a little out of the way, Kira smiled and then grabbed his boots and ran out of the door almost bumping in to a surprised Athrun "C'mon let's go!" he yelled half dragging Athrun, still running in the snow with his socks on 'cause randomly today of all days Fllay declared that she didn't allow people to wear shoes on in her house. 'Yah right! She just thought that, that could keep me from making me escape quicker!' Kira thought bitterly.

"Kira! Kira!" Fllay yelled from the open door as Kira jumped into the car with Athrun at the driver's seat "Drive! Drive! Drive!" Kira ordered. Athrun stepped on the accelerator and off the boys sped down the road.

A couple streets down Athrun stopped his car and both of them tried to catch their breaths, Athrun took the keys out of the ignition and hid them in his pocket; he decided to toy around with Kira—since he was in a good mood, and Kira wasn't.

"Hey Kira guess what I have in my pocket?" he asked grinning widely. Kira looked at him and smirked while crossing his arms over his chest "Its round and rubber and you'll never use it!" he answered.

"Dumbass…for your information I already have used one" Athrun said "So explain" he continued looking at Kira while resting his head on his head rest.

Kira sighed tiredly "Why don't we go to my place and I'll explain it to you and Cagalli, while she makes us some hot chocolate" he grinned.

"That'll work" Athrun smiled starting up his car.

Cagalli answered the door on the first ring and immedi


ately hugged Kira "Oh my poor Kira! Your cheeks are so red! And your hands are so cold! Go and take a shower, by then I'll be finished making the hot chocolate. Hurry up! I don't want you to catch a cold!" she told him entering her mother-like-mode.

Kira grinned "Alright sis…Uh but where's Lacus?" he asked before he marched to the bathroom "She's going to be home late, she's helping Miri with something" Cagalli answered, the three cousins had a sibling like relationship so it was normal for them to call each other "bro" or "sis".

Kira nodded and ran downstairs; since his room and washroom were down there, leaving Athrun and Cagalli alone "Well hello babe" Athrun greeted her putting his arms around her.

Cagalli glared at him "Hey don't "babe" me! Why did you two take so long? Even you are cold!" she chided him as she got out of his arms and walked into the kitchen. Athrun chuckled and followed her 'I never knew she had a mother like side to her' he thought as he took a seat by the counter and watched her put on some water to boil.

"So you're home alone? Where's Shinn?" Athrun asked looking around; the house was so quiet. "Stellar has a night class so he offered to take her there and wait for her until her class ended…they should be home soon" she informed him.

Athrun got up and walked behind Cagalli and embraced her from behind; this shocked her "A-Athrun what are you doing?" she asked turning bright pink. "I'm cold" he pouted, Cagalli giggled and told him to sit down.

Kira came bounding down the stairs in his nice warm pajamas "Hot chocolate's down!" Cagalli announced cheerfully "Great! I'll have some too!" Shinn beamed walking in the kitchen with Stellar. "Good thing I made enough!" Cagalli said handing a cup to everyone.

"Ah! Just what I needed!" Kira said drinking gratefully, Athrun nodded with a little yawn.

Cagalli noted that Athrun and Kira looked a little tired, "So what happened at Fllay's?" Cagalli asked. Kira glared "You must never mention the accursed name ever again!" he point at her. Cagalli laughed as Kira sighed "Well I was walking home from class since Shinn; being a dumbass—" "Hey!" Shinn spoke up but Kira continued as if Shinn hadn't spoken. "Shinn took my car because his class ended earlier than mines did. So to get from campus to our house the shortcut is past Fllay's house. As I was walking it started to show heavily; she saw me and dragged me in her house saying that I would freeze to death or get kidnapped" Kira told his story in a bored tone sipping his hot chocolate frequently.

"How exciting" Cagalli commented in an equally as bored tone as Kira "Yo bro….that was a lame story" she finished. "Kira fat people are hard to kidnap" Shinn chuckled "I'm going to pretend to I didn't hear that? But that's not the worst part!" Kira gasped dramatically "I swear that girl is not normal! She….she has a lot of fake body parts—" Shinn cut Kira off "You mean you saw her fake breasts?" "No…but thank god I didn't!" Kira and Shinn shivered.

"We're home!" came Lacus's and Miri's cheerful voices when they walked into the kitchen. "Kira!" Lacus greeted him "Hey Lacus" he said standing up and giving her a kiss on her cheek "It sure is cold outside, your cheeks are cold and red" Kira commented putting an arm around Lacus's shoulders while trying to stifle a yawn.

Cagalli stood up "Okay Kira, you should go to bed now" "Yah uh Athrun are you still staying over?" Kira asked turning to look at Athrun who was already half asleep. "Huh yeah…I left my backpack by the door….. and" Athrun said trying to stay awake, Cagalli smiled and walked over to him and patted his shoulder "C'mon I'll show you where you'll be sleeping" "As long as it's not the couch then I'm fine" he mumbled and followed Cagalli upstairs. Little did she know that Athrun was a very good actor.


Kira yawned and went to bed, followed by Lacus and Miri; leaving Shinn and Stellar alone in the kitchen.

Shinn got up and took Stellar's cup and washed it with his. "Thank you Shinn!" Stellar thanked and walked up behind him "Good night!" she said and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and running upstairs; leaving a startled Shinn.

"She kissed me…She kissed me! SHE KISSED ME! OH YEAH!" Shinn yelled excitedly "SHUT UP SHINN!" Kira yelled from the basement "MAKE ME!" Shinn yelled back.

"Both of you shut up!" Cagalli yelled from upstairs; now she was in a REALLY bad mood because a) Athrun tried to make another move on her b) and now these idiots were now disturbing her.


Well that was a fun chap! I really love Kira!
