Third Place Winner

AthrunxCagalli pairing.

Sunburn

He had been away on Plant for business for a whole month. And now, Athrun was back. Cagalli could see him as she walked down the garden stairs towards him. She had missed him a lot during his business trip. So much so, that just looking at him now sent pleasant shivers down her spine.

It must have been the way that the wind blew through his hair and the warm sun reflected off his sculpted face as he waited for her. A blush rose up to Cagalli's face. It was certainly good to look at him. She'd felt kind of neglected during his time away and now she craved his attention.

Athrun turned towards her, a smile lighting up his eyes as he saw her. She smiled back, her cheeks reddening even more.

"Cagalli…why are you blushing?"

"Blushing!" She did not want him to know that she'd been staring longingly at him, " I…I'm not blushing, no, it's…it's sunburn!"

He smiled and then laughed, his voice sending delightful quivers in her chest, and drew her into a tight hug, his face in her neck.

"I've missed you…"

Cagalli blushed, "Athrun, you're making my sunburn worse! Um…the sun…"

He turned her around to block her from the sun's rays, smiling knowingly at her cover-up. Her stubbornness kept her quiet.

As he drew her into another tight hug, Cagalli was glad that he was back to Orb and to her, safe and sound.

Well, after his lengthy absence, she was going to need special attention. Her sunburn too. She knew just who would give her the special attention, and she couldn't wait. Now, to tell Athrun that her sunburn was all over her body…

Well, my first ever drabble; I hope its okay! Please read and review!
