Playful giggles and soft smiles could be seen and heard from the faces of this couple playing and splashing at the beach. It's seldom either of them could get a break from their busy lives to go on a date, so they decided to make best out of this one.
The girl, who had short blonde hair splashed at her significant other, only to slip and fall right onto his lap instead. They kept on laughing until they noticed the sky turning from light blue to bright orange.
They sat there, side by side, admiring the beautiful scenery before them.
"Cagallii?" The blue haired boy called out.
"hmm? What is it?" She answered
"We should do this more often. I really enjoyed spending the day with you."
"Me too… hey listen Athrun…?"
"Yes?"
"Can you promise me something?"
"That depends….does it involve skirts, guns, or power tools?"
"No, no, and… no." she giggled and gave him a soft punch on the shoulder.
"In that case anything for you, princess!" he wrapped both arms around her and pulled her closer.
"Well, you're quit the heartthrob around here and kinda worried… blushes Just promise me you won't run off with one of those head-over-heels fan girls of yours!" when she said this she turned cherry-red.
Athrun hold in his laughter any longer.
"What on earth makes you think I'll do that?!?!"
"Well… I…I saw this girl earlier, she was all flirty with you and she was much prettier than me… I saw you were taking notice of her!" she stammered. 'What am I saying! I'm looking like a total idiot! I'm looking like a total idiot in front of Athrun!'
"I was just being polite." He said. He pulled the blushing girl even closer and lifted her face by the chin so that she was now facing him directly.
"I'm not one of those shallow people who pick their lover by their appearance alone. I like you for you. I wouldn't care if you were ugly!" He said, and then smiled.
"…but it helps that you're cute anyway."
"If you're so sure of that, then promise me!"
"What for?"
"Just promise! ...please…" There was a pleading look on her face now, which signaled Athrun she was serious.
"I won't make that stupid promise."
"…" she did not respond. She was too busy trying to hold back her tears.
"I'll promise this instead, I promise I'll always be here for you and I will never be a jerk to you. I'll protect you no matter what."
Cagalli leaned over and rested her head on Athrun's shoulder.
"I love you Athrun."
"Thank you"
For some reason, the princess was still not satisfied. Athrun, noticing the wince on her face asked "What now?"
"You know, in the past year I've been your girlfriend, not once did I ever hear you say you loved me."
"Well maybe I don't want to." He answered emotionlessly.
She started to look irritated. "Well then maybe I'll stop too!"
"Fine but it's your loss."
"huh? Why?"
"You look the cutest when you say that"
"…"
'I love you too Cagalli'
Well… there you go! It may seem a bit out of the storyline, but you'll see why I wrote this chapter a bit later in the story. Please Review!!!!
