Author's Notes: Hi guys! This is my first fanfiction which is the product of pure boredom. This is not beta-read so I am not sure if my little knowledge in grammar is plausible enough to pass your tastes. I am open to criticisms, constructive ones or even flames, so come on, comment. I want to know what my readers think on my first attempt at writing. And if you have any suggestions or questions regarding the plot (sadly, I haven't thought of the plot of the whole story yet), please review or send me a message (my email address is on my profile) and I will try to respond to you in any way possible. Anyways, happy reading and enjoy
"Mommy!! Wake up!! Wake up!!" A little boy with blond hair and striking green eyes nudged the lump of blankets on the bed
He was answered by a muffled grunt. "...Five more minutes
"Mommy!! Wake up or we'll be both late!!" The little blond boy nudged on the lump harder. Another muffled grunt. "MOMMY! IT'S MY FIRST DAY IN SCHOOL AND I AM GONNA BE LATE IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP!
Suddenly, the lump of blankets moved and out emerged a blond-haired woman massaging her still closed eyes. "Why didn't you tell me earlier, baby?" She opened her eyes and looked at the little boy beside her bed. Gold met green.
"Because I thought that you won't forget." The little boy pouted and continued staring at the disheveled woman in front of him. The woman hugged the little boy, squishing the boy's head on her chest in the process. "I'm sorry, sweetie. Mommy is just a bit stressed from work last night."
Two small hands began to drape around the woman's back. "I understand, Mommy." The woman hugged the little boy tighter. "By the way, good morning, sweetie." The woman planted a kiss on top of the smaller boy's head. He greeted a muffled good morning back. She smiled.
The woman stood up from the bed and carried the little boy. "Come on, let's get you some breakfast!"
--
"DO YOU KNOW HOW EARLY IT IS, DANIEL ATTHA?!" The blond woman hissed as she cooked their breakfast. Apparently, the wall clock in their kitchen read 6:15. "Your class will start by 7:30 for goodness sakes!"
"But Mommy, I don't want to be late." A pout graced the little boy's face. She sighed. "What am I gonna do to you?" She chuckled and arranged their breakfast on the table. The little boy smiled. "And besides, I am excited."

Daniel looked anxious when he saw the time on the dashboard. 7:18. He looked impatiently to his mother. "Mooooom. Can't you be any faster?"
"Daniel, it's bumper to bumper. I can't possibly shove the car though this mass of vehicles just so we can continue driving, though that seems to be a brilliant idea." They have been stuck on a heavy traffic on one of Orb's major highways for about 10 minutes now, and what the little boy can only do is to fidget in his seat and fix his little red tie.
--
7:32. Three numbers in the dashboard clock indicating that they are late. The moment the sleek black car parked on an empty space, Daniel came out immediately. "Mommy, faster!" The running little boy sped through the polished halls of his new school and looked back to the blond woman following him a few meters behind.
"Daniel, look out!"
"Wha-" A soft thud was heard. The little blond boy was wincing in pain. And then he heard a voice.
"Oh! I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Pale, flawless fingers were outstretched in front of him. He looked up to the owner of the voice. Green met green.
The owner of the voice, Daniel must say, is very handsome like his very soothing voice. He has midnight blue hair generously shaping his pale face; he is tall, most probably a head taller than his mother, and which strikes him the most is the fact that he has green eyes, the same shade as his. He smiled mischievously and took the taller man's hand.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't see you." The taller man crouched down so that they are about the same height.
"Oh, no. It's really my fault. I was running and I was not looking at my way." The little boy was guilty. He looked back to his mother - HIS MOTHER, WHERE IS SHE?!
He found her when she heard her voice. "Apologize, sweetie." She was standing beside the handsome man which looks quite surprised to find someone beside him.
Daniel smiled. His mother and this handsome man looked perfect together.
The little boy remembered his manners and turned to the taller man. "I am sorry, sir. I promise it won't happen again."
The taller man smiled. "It's fine. Just be more careful next time, okay?" He ruffled the little boy's blond hair. "Oh...And by any chance, do you happen to be Daniel Attha?"
"Yes, sir. Why?"
"You're late." He smiled.
"I know. And do you happen to be Mr. Athrun Zala, my adviser for this term?" The little boy smiled wider.
"Why yes." The taller man, Athrun, shot a curious glance at the smiling boy in front of him.
"Excuse me. Aren't you supposed to be attending with your class now, Mr. Zala?" The blond woman interrupted the small staring contest that Mr. Zala and Daniel had been doing for a while. Athrun turned to the woman. Gold met green.
"And you are Daniel's mother am I right?" He smiled. She blushed. Damn him, he looks handsome.
"Ah, yes. I'm really sorry if Daniel came in late for his first day, we got caught in traffic, you see. And the name is Cagalli Yula Attha." She smiled back to him after her little explanation and eventually tried to suppress the blush tainting her cheeks. They shook hands. There was sudden warmth and both didn't want to let go. He stared at her golden eyes and blushing face, she looks cute when blushing he thought. She stared at his captivating green eyes, the same shade as Daniel's. Both adults, holding onto each other's hand, looked lost in each other's eyes
Perfect, Daniel thought.
The little blond boy had a plan.
