Chapter
NINE
An
Unexpected Development
“It’s almost noon and Kira
and Athrun are still sleeping. That’s strange. Athrun usually gets up at dawn. I'll go and check on them.”
With these words Cagalli jumped off the sofa she was
sitting in and headed for the door.
Yzak and Dearka exchanged
meaningful glances that remained unnoticed by the Natural, since they were
behind her back, but Lacus saw them. She didn’t comment though, it was not like
her to do so.
The platinum-haired boy went after Cagalli and put his hand on her shoulder turning her
around. He winked at her. “Wait, I’ll go. They are boys after all. Who knows,
they might be naked or something. And if I am lucky, I might even see them.” He
scratched his head and continued. “Well, I did see Athrun
once, while we were still in the Academy, but that was some years ago, he
should look better now, more developed, you know. And of course I haven’t seen Kira. This might be my chance.”
“I wonder whether I should act jealous and go
kill Athrun and Kira, or
grab some big heavy pan from the kitchen and crash your head with it.” Came Dearka’s drawl from behind. “I will join you just in case
any of those two needs to be saved from your harassment.”
They exited the living-room they had been in
together and headed for the staircase that led to the second floor where the
bedrooms were.
“I don’t think they heard. Their room is
farther from the one used by those two than ours. And I am not sure they would
have guessed what the noises meant anyway. I do hope your plan worked as you
intended.”
“Well from what we heard early this morning,
I’d say it did. I am proud however that we are less noisy than them, but I
suppose since that was their first time they can be forgiven.”
“They were not that loud, besides we had better
things to do than listen to them making out.” Dearka
planted a lingering kiss on his boyfriend’s lips. “Fine here we are. I’d say we
better knock stronger.”
Yzak knocked loudly and waited patiently for an
answer.
Athrun woke up from the knock. He instantly
remembered that the room was not locked and he shouted “One moment, please” as
he jumped from the bed and looked for something to put on. It turned out to be
on of Kira’s trousers. He winced. How could his lover
– this word tasted so good – wear such clothes was
beyond him. He grabbed his own that were on a chair nearby. Then he went to the
door and opened it slightly to prevent whoever was on the other side from
seeing Kira in his bed. Not that he was ashamed, but
this was something personal that bared no interest whatsoever to anyone else.
He saw Dearka and Yzak
patiently waiting.
“What?”
“Well it’s lunch time
in an hour and Cagalli started to worry about you
two. She even intended to storm in here, but we thought it would be better if
we came, so I stopped her.”
Athrun felt heat on his cheeks at the thought of Cagalli seeing him and Kira
embraced in the bed. Since, knowing her, she was most likely to burst in the
room not caring to knock first. He cleared his throat. “Uh, thank you. We’ll
come shortly.” He closed the door, then leaned on it and thanked silently that Cagalli had not come.
He turned to the bed and the memories of what
had happened between him and his lover – now this word just couldn’t get out of
his head – and he smiled. His eyes flew to the sheets that covered that perfect
body that had been his just a while ago and he saw the few blood stains. Kira’s
virginity. That blood bound them as much as the act itself. He knew the
boy would hurt. He thought it might be better if the brunet remained in bed
till the following day under some whatever stupid pretext they might come with
otherwise his possible limping might lead to questions.
Athrun drank in the features of the beloved face. His
Sleeping Beauty waiting for the kiss of the Prince. He sat on the bed and bent
to plant a kiss on those succulent lips. He touched them and withdrew in
horror…
Kira was burning… Something was wrong. Had
something happened while hie had been away last
night? Was it some weird reaction to their lovemaking? Or was he seriously ill?
He was a Coordinator, he was not supposed to get most
of the existing diseases.
Athrun tried to think reasonably as he quickly
dressed. It was better if he moved Kira to his own
bed. He lifted the boy and carried him there, carefully laying him between the
sheets and covering him with them. He swiftly removed the sheets from his bed
and after some thought he folded the stained sheet and tucked it in his bag as
symbol, a memory from this night. The he put away the bottle of lubricant to
avoid problems.
He checked on Kira
once again before he ran down to the others.
Athrun entered the living-room and all gazes flew to
him.
“Where’s Kira?” Cagalli was the first to ask, but the green-eyed boy
ignored her and turned to Yzak and Dearka.
“May I have a few words with you? In private.” The boys noticed that Athrun
was serious and without a comment nodded and left the room.
Athrun led them to the pouch and started. “I know
that this is a weird and personal question, but it’s important to me and you
are the only people I can turn to. Last night you probably realized that I am
in love with Kira.” The boys nodded again and waited
to hear the question itself. The blue-haired boy looked each of them in the eye
and continued “We made love this morning, but now Kira’s
feverish, is that normal?”
The pair in front of him looked a bit stunned
but instantly replied “NO! It’s not!”
“He is a Coordinator.” Dearka
voiced what was the essence of the problem. “That is more than weird. We should
tell the girls and go see Kira’s condition.”
Athrun went back in as the other two stood behind.
“Could it be due to the drug?” Yzak was worried. “I did check, it is not supposed to
induce such a reaction. It was not even listed among the side effects. Not even
the most rare and specific.”
“I don’t know.” Came
his lover’s reply. “But we are telling the doctor about it.” With this they
headed for the living-room where everyone seemed pretty disturbed with Kira’s weird sickness.
“Should we call a medical team here, or do we
transport him to Onogoro island?”
Cagalli sounded deeply concerned as she walked
nervously around the room.
Lacus reasonable as always said. “Wouldn’t it
be better if we saw Kira’s condition before rushing
to decisions that might prove wrong later. And have
you boys not taken some first aid courses at the academy?” She went for the
door and everyone followed.
“We did,” replied Dearka, “but that was mostly about tending injuries.”
They entered Athrun
and Kira’s room and stood around the brunet’s bed.
Lacus bent and touched his skin to check the boy’s temperature. Then she lifted
one eyelid to see the pupils and gasped. The others jumped.
“What’s wrong?” that phrase exited several
mouths at once.
Lacus moved still holding Kira’s
lid up and everyone saw what had shocked her. The amethyst-eyed had gone SEED.
They looked at each other in bewilderment. It was supposed to be possible to
enter SEED-mode at any moment, but it was strange to see someone in SEED-mode
during a fever, besides as far as they knew Kira had
never used his SEED except for some serious situations during the war.
Lacus stood up and slowly said: “I think that this,
whatever it is, might be beyond us to manage with. There are two persons who
know enough about the SEED – Malchio-sama and Erica
Simmons – we should contact them to hear what they have to say. And since Malchio-sama is away on PLANT, I’ll go and call Erica-san.”
“I’ll come with you” volunteered Cagalli. “It would be wise that someone stayed here to
oversee Kira.”
“I’ll stay” replied Athrun
and sat down beside his beloved. His hand reached to touch the brunet. And his
face showed how deeply he was worried. The girls looked at the other two boys
silently asking them to take care of Àthrun as much as of Kira.
The two nodded slightly. “We’ll stay too” said Yzak for himself and Dearka.
The girls nodded approvingly and exited the
room.
Dearka asked somewhat curious “Aren’t most feverish
people restless? I mean, Kira hasn’t moved even a
finger all the time we spent here. Isn't that strange?”
Athrun didn’t seem to hear. He kept stroking his
beloved’s hair and he seemed to be far away in his thoughts.
The blue-haired wondered if it was his fault.
Had he done something wrong? Had he hurt the person that meant to him more than
life itself? And if he had, would Kira want to have
something to do with him once he woke up? If he did… As much as he wanted to, the green-eyed was
aware that the brunet was one of the most successful Coordinators ever created
[1], and as such only some serious illness would be able to get him.
The blue-haired’s
mind kept pondering on this unexpected turn of events. How long had the brunet
been in such a state? Had he actually been aware what had they shared in the
morning or – this possibility frightened Athrun even
more – had he been delirious and unable to realize what had he been doing and
with whom? He was afraid to go there, it was too painful.
Distantly he heard the door opening and turned
to face Lacus and Cagalli to find out what had Erica
Simmons said.
“Erica-san told us that according to what we
described Kira can be safely transferred to Onogoro and she would wait with an ambulance at the airport
to tend to him.” Lacus sounded more positive as she said that.
Athrun nodded accepting Erica’s evaluation of the
situation and asked Yzak. “Would you pilot the plane
on the way back and as fast as the plane’s construction allows?” He turned to Cagalli and added “I am sorry, it’s not that I doubt your
pilot skills but Yzak’s better.”
Tha platinum-haired was surprised. “I will, but I
thought you wouldn’t trust anyone else besides yourself in such a situation.”
“I am not leaving his side.”
“OK, we’ll pack as fast as we can and we’ll
leave.” Lacus urged the others to move. “Athrun, you
pack too, both your things and Kira’s. There’s
nothing you can do for him now anyway, except to act swiftly and reasonably.”
The flight seemed to take forever.
Since there were no beds or whatever places
that Kira could lye on save the floor and the
green-eyed had refused to even consider such an option, the brunet was
half-sitting half-lying in Athrun’s lap, his head
resting on the blue-haired’s chest. Everyone was
staring at Kira who had still not moved even an
eyelid.
It took Athrun some
time to realize that something had changed in Kira’s
condition.
“He is getting cold!” The panic in his voice
alarmed the others. They were not used to hear the green-eyed speak like that
even during the worst moments of the war.
“Let me see,” Lacus was not sure Athrun was capable of sensible action anymore. He seemed to
be freaking out and losing his common sense when it was needed most. She placed
her hand on the brunet’s forhead, than she touched
his hands and chest. She became worried too. The blue-haired was not
hallucinating, Kira’s temperature seemed to have
lowered below the normal and he was not showing any signs of recovery. What
kind of weird disease was this? “You are right. Yzak,
how long do we have till we arrive?”
“About half an hour, maybe a
little more.”
“Can you contact Erica-san and tell her what’s
going on?”
“I’ll call the flight control and request a
line to contact her.”
When they landed the ambulance was waiting for
them. Erica Simmons had come personally to see what was going on.
“There isn’t enough space for everyone in the
ambulance, so I ordered for another car to come and drive you to the hospital.”
“I am staying with Kira!”
Athrun’s tone left no place for argument or
discussion. “Besides, there,s
something I need to tell you.” He added more calmly and only for her ears.
“I need to talk to you, Erica-san.” Said Yzak as well. “Will there be
enough space for me?”
“Yes. But no more!”
She added as she saw Cagalli open her mouth to
request that she joined them too. In another situation the girl would have
tried to use her position to get what she wanted but this time she just nodded
and went to travel with Dearka and Lacus in the other
car.
“Now, what did the two of you want to tell me?
I suppose you consider it to have some connection with Kira-kun’s
condition. Athrun-kun would you start?” Erica Simmons
was examining the brunet’s status as she asked her questions.
“I have no idea if this is connected in any way,
but…” he looked at Yzak who was listening. The boy
knew of the sexual intercourse he and Kira had had,
yet it was weird to discuss it in front of him “… this morning…” Athrun drew a deep breàth and spilled it “… Kira
and I had sex. It was his first time as far as I know.”
The woman looked at him her face unimpressed.
“Was he hurt? Did he bleed?”
The blue-haired blushed slightly but that was
not tha time to think about his own
uneasiness and answered honestly. “There were some bloodstains on the sheets, but
not many or big.”
“That within the normal, especially considering
the boy was a virgin.” She turned to face the other boy in the ambulance. “Yzak-kun, what did you think I should know?”
The blue-eyed looked at his friend, aware that
his words would most probably enrage him and cause a drift between then,
especially now in the state the green-eyed was. But this was far too important
to be kept secret so he just admitted “Last night I mixed a drug in the punch a
made – Pentoxin [2] – one 10 ml bottle with 5%-sollution
of the drug in 4 litres juice and one litre 40%
alcohol. Kira went to bed around 11.00 pm, as far as
I saw he drank 5 or 6 cups, the summed quantity being about 800 ml.”
Athrun was eyeing him in a way that clearly said that
there would be a continuation of this conversation in a more proper place and
time. Yzak just nodded showing that he took the
responsibility for his actions.
“Thank you Yzak-kun.
I’ll take that into notion and I’ll run all the test needed to find out whether
this had any role in Kira-kun’s current condition and
to what extent However, I notice that everyone else is fine, even Cagalli-san, who as a Natural should be more susceptible to
the drug, so this probably is rather insignificant. I feel there’s something
deeper here. But I won’t say more until I see the test results.”
“Sir, they left the island with the object in a
strange condition. From what he heard he had fallen with a fever. Did you get
the report we sent you this morning?” The blonde young man in military uniform speaking
stood to attention.
The person on the other side of the connection
said curtly “Yes, I did!”
“I apologize, sir, for our inability to kidnap
the object, but he had been accompanied by someone most of the time and your
orders were quite strict in that regard. We were not to approach the object if
he is not alone.”
“That order is off! There’s no need to kidnap
him anymore! I want you to do something else instead.”
“Roger that, sir. What would you order?”
“You are to make sure the object is safe in any
possible way. There’s no need to feed him that anymore. Nature would do her job
from now on, I hope.”
“Sir!” The other black-haired youth saluted and then
asked “Please tell us exactly what are we supposed to do, Sir.”
“You are to make sure he is safe and sound. But
first you’ll get me all the examinations and test results from the hospital he
is staying at. Once he is discharged you’ll follow him and make sure not a hair
falls from his head. Is it clear?”
“Sir, yes, sir!” Both young men saluted. As soon as the
connection was suspended the black-haired said.
“First we have to kidnap him and now this! Is
that man in his right mind? What had happened since yesterday to change his
objective so suddenly? I doubt it has anything to do with the weird disease.
There’s more to this but he would not tell us.”
“We are not supposed to question orders, only
to follow them!” Came the blonde’s reply. His tone
indicated he wouldn’t be commenting more on the topic.
Erica Simmons stared at her patient who was
lying pale and unmoving in the bed in front of her. She didn’t know what to
think. The results she received had been so weird that she had repeated the
tests just to make sure everything was correct. There was no mistake. Except
for his hormone levels that were most peculiar, but were unlikely to cause such
a reaction, the boy was absolutely healthy, yet his basic metabolic rate was
far lower than the normal. There was only one explanation for his condition,
even if it was something she had never heard or read to have happened to a
human.
Kira-kun was in hibernation[3]
and she had no idea how were she or the medical team supposed to act.
A/N: [1] I assume that Kira
hadn’t shared with anybody about the “Ultimate Coordinator” project and him
being the only successful result of it.
[2] This is a randomly created name for the
drug and if such a medicine is registered somewhere it is a pure coincidence.
[3] Hibernation is slowing of all processes in
the organism, but it still operates normally. The winter sleep of bears and other
animals is type of hibernation. In medicine this term is used for artificially
(using low temperatures) induced slower metabolic rate during operations meant
to spare as much trauma on the body as possible.
I added another character – Erica Simmons, I
really like that woman, despite the small part she has in the show. However I
changed some things about her. I am aware that she is an engineer, but for the
sake of the plot I added another education to complement her engineering. As
you’ve noticed I made her a M.D. as well. Hope you don’t mind.
@Yami
Jay:
Thank you ^_^
@AsuKira: Arigatou for editing my Japanese. I don’t
mind at all. I studied it for some time, but I had to quit despite my desire to
continue (that was long before I discovered anime). I will find a way to study
it though. And I am so glad you liked it.
@Kimi: Yay! He is and it
already starts :-/
@KiraAsu: Thanks. It
was really important to make it obvious that both of them are acting on their
own free will and that the desire is mutual, especially after this chapter. I
didn’t want anyone to doubt that Kira’s decision to
be with Athrun has nothing to do with the fever, the
drug or the alcohol. It was pure desire.
@Danya: I don’t mean to disappoint you, but so far
all official information indicates that Cagalli is a
Natural. You may check here http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/ce/characters/chara_cagalli.html
in the character stats. She can be Natural because she was conceived naturally.
And she and Kira technically are not twins, but since
they were born (or more accurately Cagalli was born
and Kira was taken out from the artificial womb) on
the same date and share the same biological parents, they are referred to as
twins.
