Heyas everyone! I decided it was high time I take on another AsuCaga fanficiton. This fic will be all about Athrun's birthday and how Cagalli almost forgets about it again. -lol- Instead of explaining the whole plot to you all here, I'll let this story speak for itself as it will be at least 10 chapters long. -lol- This isn't the sequel to The Hotness Factor since that story is not completed yet, but this fic will prove to be very entertaining I assure you. -giggles- This chappie will be relatively short, but the following ones will be longer. This is just so everyone gets a feel as to what will be taking place in this fic. -smiles- I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Disclaimer: I do not own GS, GSD, any of the AsuCaga sweetness, or Athrun naughtiness you are about to witness...It would be nice if I did though ne? -giggles-
-His Favorite Things- Chapter 1 - Athrun's List -
-October 29th, CE 75- Location: Country of Orb Attha Estate. Time: 10am -
The golden haired princess of Orb came dashing down the steps late in the morning on October 29th, while brushing off her khaki cargos and throwing on whatever shirt she had in her hands. She was cursing herself out as she approached the staircase's bottom...she couldn't believe it...for the second year in a row she had forgotten the birthday of someone very special to her: "I can't believe I forgot about his birthday again...damn it...what am I gonna do?!" In her state of absolute panic, she nearly tripped on one of the last few stairs. She closed her eyes, expecting to hit the ground hard, when all of the sudden she felt a slim, yet strong pair of arms encircle her form behind saving her from broken bones.
A gentle voice asked in a worried tone: "Cagalli...are you okay?"
Cagalli instantly felt her heart skip a beat at the voice of her savior: "A-Athrun...you're up early."
Athrun chuckled: "Early?"... "It's 10:30am. I've been awake since 8am..." He whispered seductively in her ear as he finished his sentence: "Didn't you feel cold when I left the bed?"
Cagalli's face turned a brilliant shade of red at his hot breath against her ear: "Y-Yes..I mean...no...I..I..." She gasped in surprise as Athrun, his arms still encircling her from behind; trailed his delicate fingers across her bare, taut stomach before whispering: "You forgot something."
Cagalli glanced down and felt her face flush an even brighter red as she briefly caught her appearance in a nearby mirror: "Oh...my...god!"... "I forgot to button my shirt!" She frantically fumbled around with the buttons on her shirt, her hands noticeably trembling as she cursed to herself: "Damn it!"... "What's wrong with me today?!"... "I'm forgetting everything!..." She glanced briefly into the worried emerald eyes that stood before her nearly making her turn into a puddle from the way they stared at her: "...and those eyes of his aren't helping...oh man...why does he have to look at me like that?"... "Doesn't he know how that affects me?!"
Athrun, noticing her trembling hands; covered over them with his own, and with a playful smile and a chuckle; he placed a soft kiss on her honey colored lips before he replied: "Let me help you with that." He carefully began to do up the buttons on her shirt, all the while making sure he kept his self control in check as his fingers briefly brushed his fingers across her warm, soft skin: "S-So...what do you plan on doing today?"... "Any meetings today?"
Cagalli shook her head as he finished with the last button...his arms still around her: "N-No...no meetings today...I told Kisaka to take any calls that I might get and then to refer them to me tomorrow." She asked her red knight in a curious tone: "How about you?"... "Are you doing anything interesting today?"
Athrun shook his head and slowly released her from his warm embrace so he could face her, he casually ran his fingers through his neck length navy hair: "Nah...I'm really not doing too much of anything...just a few errands..." He leaned closer and looked at her with curious emerald eyes, a small smirk appearing on his usually innocent looking face: "Why?"... "Do you have anything in mind?"
Cagalli, trying her best to restrain herself from kissing those beautiful lips that were so dangerously close to hers; managed to calmly reply: "No...nothing special...I mean...I...I just thought maybe we...umm...we could have lunch out since everyone else seems to be doing their own things today."... "Do you have anything in mind you might wanna do today after lunch?" Her inner self scolded her: "Yeah...sure..he's gonna buy that...he knows you're trying to figure out what he wants for his birthday..he's not stupid...he knows you forgot again...damn it!"... "You'll never hear the end of this if he tells Kira or Dearkka."... "Okay...remain calm...you can still salvage this...okay...pretend you forgot what you just said...yeah...that should work."
Athrun smiled warmly at her and nodded: "Sure...lunch sounds good to me. My treat okay?"
Cagalli breathed a sigh of relief and thanked god that he had not caught on to the fact that she was trying to find out what he would like for his birthday. She shook her head intently: "No...no way...my treat this time. You'd better not say no to that either...I won't take no for an answer." She briefly played around with the collar of his black dress shirt, undoing the top two buttons as she did so.
Athrun eyed her curiously, a small wry smile slowly forming upon his lips as he, in a gentlemanly like fashion; lifted one of her hands to his soft lips and placed a gentle kiss on it: "Whatever you desire...Hime-sama."
Cagalli felt her face turn red hot as she hissed embarrassed: "D-Don't call me Hime-sama!"... "You know I !..." Just as she was about to continue her embarrassed ranting, she noticed him smirk devilishly before she felt his sweet lips against hers in a passionate kiss that lasted just long enough to quell her fiery temper. Her inner self screamed: "Oh my god!...that was so hot...maybe we should take him back upstairs and...you know...one quick one while nobody's home...c'mon Cagalli...you know you want to." Her face burned bright red as she spoke aloud: "No!"... "I...I mean...look...just meet me right in this spot in an hour okay?"... "That's long enough for you to run those errands of yours right?"
Athrun smirked and let out a small chuckle: "Okay...okay...I'll be here in an hour...that's plenty of time for me to finish what I need to get done." He placed a quick kiss on her forehead and then waved casually to her as he turned on his heels and walked out the open door.
Upon his departure, Cagalli noticed that he had dropped a small piece of paper on the ground and picked it up: "Hmmm...this might be what he wrote his errands on...I'd better get this to him before he leaves." She ran out the door only to find that the black convertible that belonged to him was already out of sight: "Geez...I hope he remembers everything he wrote down...shoot...maybe I can get this to him somehow." Just as she grabbed her jacket and walked outside, curiosity got the better of her, so she carefully opened up the folded paper and read what was written on it: "Hmmm...this looks like a list." Suddenly, a small smirk crossed her face, her amber eyes suddenly filled with joyful delight, for at the top of the paper was written "Birthday Wishlist: Things I've Always Wanted To Do On My Birthday." Cagalli's devilish smile grew wider as she read and re-read the contents of the list: "Excellent...this will prove useful...very useful."
Okies Everyone...that's the end of the first chapter...it was short I know, but never fear...the upcoming chapters will be longer as this fic will be 10 chapters at least. What was on Athrun's wishlist that made our Goddess of Victory smile so fiendishly?...and does Athrun even know that she almost forgot his birthday again? -lol-...well...you'll find all that out in the next installment...until then ttfn! Also, let's not forget to wish a very Happy Athrunlicious Birthday to our sexy red knight! -giggles-
