Another story from me!! This story was inspired from phase 24: Futari dake no Sensou, you know, the episode where Athrun and Cagalli met (of course you know, you've watched it! Stupid me, haha...).
Oh, I know this is rather early, but HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Disclaimer: Haven't the letters D-I-S explained everything?
The Reason SHE Chose HIM
"You're not handsome."
Athrun stared oddly at his girlfriend.
"Huh?"
"I said you're not handsome," Cagalli repeated her words as she stared back to the blue-haired guy.
"I'm not?" Athrun pointed himself, his face looked confused. Why did Cagalli suddenly say he was not handsome? Athrun was sure enough that he was one of the best looking guys that happened to be around the princess. Sure, with her status she had met lots and lots of nice-looking guy, but Athrun… he WAS sure that he WAS the MOST handsome. Else, why would Cagalli choose him if he was not?
"Here, see by yourself," Cagalli dragged Athrun to the nearest mirror in her room.
Athrun gazed at his own reflection, he didn't understand what Cagalli meant this time. He saw his shoulder length blue hair, his shining emerald eyes, his face that resembled Lenore Zala's (A/N: Thank God he didn't have his father's face!), and his well built body which was covered by a green t-shirt.
"Uhm… so?" Athrun scratched the back of his head.
"You're not handsome," Cagalli sighed. "But you're beautiful."
"Eh?" Athrun twitched, his face looked a bit shocked. "EEEH??!!!" Athrun screamed.
Now he was really shocked. How come he didn't, his girlfriend, I repeat, girlfriend had just told him that he was not a handsome guy but a BEAUTIFUL one. Beautiful as in… well, beautiful! What was worse than your own girlfriend telling you that you were beautiful? Athrun tried to calm himself down. Inhale, exhale, inhale… Athrun told himself.
"Okay, you think I'm not handsome but, umh, beautiful," the ex-ace pilot of ZAFT couldn't hide his annoyance to be said beautiful. "Anything wrong with that?"
Cagalli shook her head. "Not really, it's just I'm curious why I choose you, a pretty guy…"
Pretty guy! Athrun groaned. And I thought it can't be worse…
"… and not some other macho guys."
Athrun twitched again. What did she just say?
"So you like macho guys?" Athrun asked.
"Humm… Yeah, may be. I mean, not the ones with big muscular body, thin ones are just fine but must be well-built, of course. And it will be better if the guy have a nice looking abs…"Cagalli said while making a thinking face which was very cute.
Athrun smiled. "If that is the kind of the guy you like, no wonder you chose me."
Cagalli frowned. "Na'ah, you are so not from the type I like."
"Are you sure?" Athrun smirked.
"Well, I told, didn't I? You're beautiful, not handsome, and…"
"But I have a nice body," Athrun said confidently. "Want a proof?" his grin went wider and made Cagalli felt a bit irritated. Man and their ego! She grumbled. But she was somewhat curious about the proof Athrun was talking about, so…
"Show me," Cagalli dared.
And there flew Athrun's green t-shirt.
"ATHRUN, THAT'S CHEATING!!!!!"
Cagalli: Athrun?
Athrun: Yes?
Cagalli: If I chose you because I've seen your body, what about the other girls who also adore you?
Athrun: Eeh... (sweatdropped)
Cagalli: (SEED mode) You are so dead, Zala!! D-E-A-D!!! (jumped into Akatsuki's cockpit)
Athrun: Cagalli, wait!! I can explain everything!
Cagalli: Hell with your explanation
...and she pushed the trigger of her mobile suit...
Athrun: AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!
