Author's Note: This isn't my first story ever but this is the only story I have published right now..so I'd really appreciate if you took time at the end of this to write a review! I GLADLY accept constructive criticism or praise! Oh and I got the idea from a movie..except instead of art it's for reading this and please review, it means a lot.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed or Gundam Seed Destiny. If I did I wouldn't be writting fanfictions, instead I would be making it so Athrun and Cagalli have a better ending.

Chapter One: First Encounters

"You done yet? I swear when you finish I'll be dead."

"I'm almost done, be patient GRANDMA!" Cagalli laughed.

Cagalli Hibiki was in her Art class which was taught by Ms. Murrue Ramius. She was a aspiring artist and that had been her dream since she was four. She had always loved art because she felt it was one of the easiest ways to express her feelings. It was just another regular Thursday night and she had just finished another one of her paintings.

She handed the painting in and was about to leave until Murrue stopped her. "Cagalli" Murrue said with a frown on her face. "I have to talk to you about something."

Uh-oh. "Is something wrong? Did I do something wrong? Is my work becoming worse?" Cagalli asked nervously. She had always been self-conscious about her work and always thought they were missing something.

"No No! Nothing of that sort my dear! Your art if anything is improving! I just want to know if you can do me a favor."

"What's the favor?"

"Well you see, I have this amazing art student that used to paint that most beautiful works! He's like Picasso! But lately he's been missing all of my classes. His parents died in a car crash last month and I believe he's slipped in to quite a depression and that's why he has quite the thing he loved the most. It kills me to see him like this. I've tried speaking to him but he won't listen to me."

"I don't even know him! What makes you sure that he'll listen to me when he doesn't listen to you!?!"

"I don't have any proof that he'll listen to you - but you're our only hope" Murrue said, making her sound like she was the hero of some Sci Fi story where the fate of the world rested in her hands.

"I ca-"

"Please! It would be such a waste if talent like him just quit!"

"But Murrue..."

"Cagalli, you're the last hope for him...if you can't help him I don't think anyone can. I wish I could help him....he's lost so much for some so young and he needs someone that shares his some love for art as him and you are exactly that person!"

She sighed in defeat. "Alright. Alright. I'll do it."

"Thank you Cagalli! I owe you one" Murrue said and she wrote the boy's address down.

She found herself in Gryffindor Hall. It was an all boys dorm and it was filled with...no surprise...boys. Posters of hot woman in bikinis and football players were on the wall. She saw tons of boys walking around and laughing at each other, play fighting and just talking. She started to walk down the hall and realized she had never been in Gryffindor Hall.

"Just find Room 210. Get this over with" she thought.

As she walked by a few boys started to whistle.

"A girl is in our dorm!"

"Hottie!"

"Hey hot stuff, come in to my dorm and I can show you a good time" Yunna offered.

Some of the boys that were friends with Yunna continued to flirt with her and instead of punching them all, she ignored them. She was on a mission and she wasn't going to get distracted.

She looked at the the numbers on the doors she passed...199..200..201...

"What am I even suppose to say?" she thought nervously. 202...203.."Turn back while you still can!" 204...205...206...207..."I don't have anything prepared!! What am I going to say! What if he kicks me out?" 208....209...210..."Don't knock CAGALLI! Don't knock!"

She was in front of 210 and it was the same as any other door. It was tall and oak. She felt nervous because she wasn't really good with meeting new people despite her bright, optimistic personality. Her brain yelled at her not to do it and she had a debate about the consquences this would have but she took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

No response.

She knocked again, no response.

She knocked once again, and still no response.

She guessed that maybe the guy was out partying or something. She checked to see if the door was locked and it wasn't. Against her better judgment, she opened the door.

The state of the room was absolutely appalling! It looked more like a pigs sty than someones room.

Clothes, books, magazines, shoes, paint brushes and DVD's were discarded everywhere and it was hard to see the floor, there was bowls and plates on the table that were obviously forgotten about and there was only a single plant in the dorm and it was dead. It was also really dark in the dorm and the only light came from the sky light and a bit from the ripped curtain.

This boy Murrue had been talking about must have really slipped in to a deep depression to have let his room get in to this state - it was even worse than Cagalli's disaste-zone-of-a-room! She tried to escape but she suddenly found herself unable to breathe and on the floor. A man was on top of her and pinning her arms down.

"Who the hell are you?" the man yelled. His emerald eyes were locked on to her amber eyes and she realized that his eyes looked cold and distant..

"Get...off...of...me..you..ass!"

"You..You're a girl" he stammered.

"No shit! Now get off." He got off.

"That doesn't explain what the hell you're doing in my room."

"I'm Cagal-"

"I don't care" he shot coldly. "What are you doing in my room was the question."

"Fine Mr. Grumpy Pants! Murrue Ramius sent me here to talk to you."

"Oh, she told me someone was visiting but I distinctly told her not to let anyone come. Sorry for attacking you...but I have to ask, do you usually sneak in to boys rooms?"

"NO!" she yelled blushing. She hadn't really noticed how he looked until now and now as she finally took the time to anaylze him she was captivated by how handsome he was. He had pale flawless skin and his green eyes were a unique shade of emerald. He had midnight blue hair and he just wearing boxers! His abs were perfectly sculpted like a god's! She turned a even brighter red.

"Can you stop staring at my chest?"

"I WAS NOT STARING AT YOUR..CHEST!" she yelled and she could feel her cheeks burning. "Anyways we shouldn't be talking about me, we should be talking about you."

"Look, thanks for coming but I don't need your pity. I already have enough of that from everyone."

"Good because you're not going to get any from me" she said. He was caught off guard by her answer. He was so used to all the people that came in and tried to comfort him and he didn't know what to say.

"I'm Cagalli Hibiki."

"I'm..uh...my name is Athrun Zala." When he gave her his name she smiled a bright smile. He felt a long forgotten fuzzy feeling in his cold heart...he didn't like it one bit and was going to make it stop fast. He went to his room assuming that if he ignored her she would leave. When he came out he was changed and she still hadn't left his room.

"You should leave now."

"I will BUT YOU ARE COMING WITH ME!" she said cheerily and grabbed his hand. H

"Where are you taking me?!"

"You'll find out soon enough."

The beginning of this love story...this story is based of a small indie movie I loved called "Never Ending Shades of Blue." Anyways...I stopped here so you can review and tell me if I should keep on going.

So please review!
