Ok, so I promised a certain someone I would write this and now it's done.

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Seed/Destiny and I never will. That's just the way of the world, baby.

It was a warm summer night. Not humid, simply, warm. One could walk about in jeans and a T-shirt and never complain.

Perhaps it was just unbearably humid in the car.

Both Yzak and Cagalli knew the importance of social get togethers in politics; if you were polite, courteous, and showed off just enough spunk, you could crate powerful alliances. If you were sly, manipulative and had a sharp tongue, you could ruin your rival's reputation. Normally, the two of them would take advantage of these balls as best they could and put up with the idiots surrounding them.

Tonight however, something wasn't right. They couldn't concentrate when wooing other politicians and rude, overly spunky comments were quickly spitting out of their mouths before they had the chance to do anything about it.

Finally, Yzak decided he was going for a drive and Cagalli, who saw him dart across the reception hall, knew she was going with him. It took a bit of bargaining, but eventually agreed to take her with him…only because they were in Orb and she knew the area better.

"Turn left here," ordered Cagalli.

"Why should I do that?" Yzak snarled back.

"Because I said so!" spat the blonde woman.

"Who cares what you say? It's not like you know anything natural!" snapped the obnoxious coordinator.

"I happen to know that we're heading for a dead end and that you can't perform a U-turn to save your life!" exclaimed Cagalli angrily, "take that coordinator," she added after a minute.

"Will you just shut-up! Who said you had the right to talk?"

"Who said I didn't?"

"I did!" bellowed Yzak, "I only let you come because you know the area, not because I wanted to talk to you! So just shut-up!"

"What right have you to tell me what to do?" interrogated Cagalli, "if I remember correctly, I hold higher rank than you." She stuck her tongue out challengingly.

Yzak stopped the car.

"Ok, that's it!" he screamed, "OUT! Out! Out! Out!" he jumped out of the car, raced over to the other side, opened Cagalli's door and pulled her out of the passenger seat (she didn't have her seat belt on, the rebel).

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" exclaimed the blonde, "ahh! Hey! Let go of me you fucking bastard!"

She continued to scream and struggle as they stumbled out of the car until suddenly, all became quiet.

The ride back was much quieter than the one out. In fact, asides from Cagalli's odd direction (and Yzak's odd grunt following it), the drive was carried out in complete silence. Once they reached the ball they had fled earlier, the two were quite subdued and acting quite civil with each other. No one knew quite how to explain this because, all required niceties aside, the two had always been quite open about their dislike for one another.

Theories and rumors were quickly spread, but none of them were true. It was likely that no one would ever guess. It wasn't their imaginations weren't big enough but…

Well, in all honesty, the idea of Cagalli Yula Attha and Yzak Joule sharing a kiss was downright heresy - even if it was by accident.

Review please!
