A/N: This is a short Athrun/Meyrin one-shot with hinted Athrun/Cagalli. It isn't fluff, I hope you enjoy.
It was a beautiful day, the birds were singing, children were laughing and the light poured into the room where two people sat.
Meyrin Hawke clutched her pillow to her chest as she gazed at him intently where he slept beside her on the small couch. She had rented a movie the previous evening and he had decided to watch it with her. The movie had gone on a bit too long and the two of them had fallen asleep in front of the television.
Meyrin thoroughly enjoyed such treats when he just sat with her and they soaked up each other's company. Neither of them felt the need the talk when they were with one another. And when one of them did the other was there to listen.
A smile tugged at Meyrin's mouth, she lived for those moment before he woke up, when she could just stare at him, study his face, take in every detail of him. His midnight blue hair that messily hung over his eyes, emerald green eyes that although she couldn't see them while he was asleep, she knew they were there. The peaceful expression he wore on his face when he slept…
He hardly ever wore it when he was a wake, when he was thinking of someone else… not her, not Meyrin.
Yes, Meyrin savoured every moment she had with him, studying everything that was he, burning every single thing no matter how small into her mind. She knew deep inside that he would one day, soon, she knew it, go back to her.
His so called Goddess of Victory who had won his heart a long time before Meyrin had come into the picture.
She had asked Meyrin to take care of him, until he goes back to you, she had silently said to the blonde woman, but she had fallen for him and she had fallen hard.
That very first time she had seen him, discovered his true identity. When he had gone to her and she had left everything and put her trust in him. By then she was already past the point of no return, hopelessly in love with someone who happened to be in love with someone else.
Someone who happened to be some sort of modern day princess, well, Meyrin had to agree, it did fit together, he was in a way a knight or prince to his own people, that's right, the lonely prince of the PLANTs.
And she?
She was most likely the prince's maid.
They played the two lead roles in the movie and she was the girl in the crowd who would probably die the most gruesome death when a disaster struck while the two leads made it through by sheer dumb luck.
Meyrin shook her head, don't think that way, she told herself and tried to shake off the bitterness she felt. How she wished he were doing the same with her. Just be glad he's here now, soak up everything like a sponge and don't ever forget even the tiniest little thing, she said to herself.
She smiled sadly, realizing that she was so crazy about him, loved him so much that she was willing to sacrifice her own happiness for his, after all isn't that what one is supposed to do?
Athrun stirred lightly and blinked his eyes to get used to the warm, bright sunlight that was pouring through the window and fell on him.
Meyrin sighed, those moments were gone now… but she smiled brightly when he met her gaze.
"Morning Athrun!" she said, "Slept well?"
Athrun smiled at her.
Meyrin couldn't help but give a little laugh, she knew that he wouldn't ever forget her either, time might be running out, the end might be approaching rapidly, she thought, but for now… this is bliss.
Well, there you go! A very short one-shot! Please tell me if you liked it, tell me if I did something wrong or something bothered you, that's why we're here, to improve our writing skills. I really hope you enjoyed it!
