It has already been 2 years since the second bloody Valentine ended. Everything now at peace between the Plants and Earth Alliance, Lacus now being the chairwoman of Plants, Kira being her head of military. Now, that everything is now in peace Athrun now an admiral of Orb, now being able to make up for the time he lost with Cagalli, being the chief representative of Orb union.

Chapter 1

Cagalli who was at Orb, being the chief representative it was hard for her to even have time for herself much more find time to spend with Athrun who was also busy with military work. Everyday she would spend her time having meetings with the council, or if not meetings some files, reports and documents she has to read and sign. Many papers everyday, and being a politician she often have interviews, she was always on tv and news headlines, so of course her private life is a mystery. Only, a few people know of her relationship with a certain blue-haired coordinator, mainly just those from the council, Mryna, Kisaka, Erica and some close friends. The media doesn't know that they have such a relationship, all they know is that she and Athrun were just close comrades, and the only reason why he decided to stay at Orb was because he was very grateful to the nation and its people. The same also goes with the relationship of Kira and Lacus, they were also very private but at the same time public, because compared to the relationship of Cagalli and Athrun, which was very secretive. Their relationship was more open for they often show display of affection in public at times giving the media and citizens hints that they are more than just of a comrades relationship, especially because most of the citizens of Plants still think Lacus and Athrun are engaged and are in love with each other.

…..

Cagalli who was getting ready for a meeting with the council was inside of her room, putting on her violet jacket and looking at the mirror. She was looking at a lipbalm that has a peach shade on it. She was having a dilemma over if she would apply it or not, the lipbalm was gift from Lacus.

"Cagalli, here I have a present for you."

"What is it?"

"Here, you should use it, this is the one I use whenever I have chapped lips."

"Um, thanks Lacus but you know I don't wear makeup, plus it might not look good on me, being all tomboy and all."

"Cagalli, don't be silly. I know it would look good on you, trust me the is the right color for you especially because it's not the obvious plus you'll get to have more kissable lips. And I'm sure a certain admiral would start to notice it."

Whenever Cagalli would remember her words she would often blush just thinking about Athrun staring at her lips. She wanted to grab his attention, especially he seems too distant. Cagalli grabbed the lipbalm, just when she was about to apply the product, Mryna knocked at her door.

"My lady, are you done by now?"

"Uhm, yes! I'll be done in a second!" Cagalli then hid the lipbalm onto her drawer, then opened the door.

"My lady, I'm so sorry to suddenly interrupt you but the meeting is about to start in about five minutes and all of the council members are there already. They're just waiting for you before they could start the meeting."

"Is that so. I better hurry then."

Cagalli went straight ahead of the meeting, once she reached the conference room she apologized the members who have been waiting for her.

…

Cagalli who was now resting at her office before starting to read through the papers she has to finish. Staring at the ceiling, she raised her right hand looking the ring Athrun gave her two years ago. Now that everything has somehow calmed down she wore the ring again. She always thinks of him whenever she looks at it, there she was alone in her office stacks of paper on her desk, but she smiling idiotically staring at a hand. Someone opened the door and there he was the red knight who went to visit his princess. Athrun chuckled seeing the Cagalli didn't notice him enter, she was caught up in her own small world. He let her in her same position, for about a minute more. It was just one of the moments that both of them feel like regular people who are in love with each other. He then decided to get her attention by walking up to her and calling her name.

"Cagalli!"

"Huh?" she was surprised to see him there when she was just thinking about him

"Oh, Athrun what's up?"

"Uhm, nothing just wanted to see you and ask you out to lunch if you're not busy."

"Oh, sure sounds nice, plus I'm not that busy." She stared at the piles of paper in front of her.

"or maybe I am" she sighed with disbelief

"Well, we could just order and eat it here so that you can eat and at the same time do your work, so killing two birds with a stone. And if you'd like I could help you with work. I'm free anyways I've finished everything so it's okay to help."

"Okay and thanks, Athrun I don't know what I would be now without you."

"Of course, anything for my princess." He smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Well, what would you want to eat?"

"Hmm, I think I'd like kebabs!"

"Of course I should have known"

"I haven't had one for awhile now so, I'd like to eat some."

"Okay!" Athrun dialed the number of the restaurant that delivers kebabs.

"Hello, yes I would like to order kebabs and sodas, yeah, yes…okay, thanks. Oh for how long will it take? Okay, thanks again." End of call.

"They say it will take about 20-30 minutes."

"Okay"

Athrun then sat at the couch that was inside of her office, Cagalli who then started to look at the documents looked at Athrun who was giving her the signal to sit down next to him, by patting the empty space next to him. Cagalli noticed this, but refused because she has to start working before the meeting at 6 pm will start.

"Cagalli, come on, relax for awhile. You've been overworking yourself again, you barely even have enough sleep."

"But, Athrun I have to at least look at the files because we are going to discuss about this later, and I don't want to be humiliated again by showing up late."

"Don't worry I'll help, late but for now please relax and sit here. I'm worried about you."

"But…."

Athrun the stood up and placed his index finger in Cagalli's lips and said "Okay just relax for awhile and just take a nap while waiting for the delivery, okay?" he whispered this to her and she finally agreed.

"Okay, but you'll help me right?"

"Of course"

She then sat down with him on the couch she rested her head onto his shoulder and closed her eyes and then took a nap. Athrun who was also feeling sleepy placed his head onto hers. They both sleep onto each other while holding hands. It was definitely a very calming and relaxing atmosphere.

30 Minutes later

Kisaka who got the deliveries and also paid for them went straight to the office of the representative, he knocked the door and called her name but no one answered. He then thought Cagalli was out, he then decided to enter the room which was fortunately unlock. Once he entered he saw the couple sleeping on the sofa, holding hands with each other. Understanding how busy and having lack of rest, left the room quietly placing the food on the center table that was in front of them.
