Author's notes: I'm back with an AsuCaga oneshot! Did all of you miss my oneshots:P
This is an AsuCaga but be warned! It's very angsty! I got the angsty mood all of a sudden so all my recent AsuCaga oneshots will be angsty (and therefore broken AsuCaga. Please do not kill me for this! It's just that the inspirations are like that!).
Enjoy this oneshot and please review!
Anyway, for those of you who are free please go read my multi-chapter fics! They are not as well-received as I expected. (So should I stick to oneshots?)
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed/Destiny or any of its characters.
Reflections
A ring lay on the table, its silver edges shimmering under the light. The stone on it glowed with a red fire. A simple object, yet with so much meaning in it.
Cagalli gazed at the ring. It was no longer on her finger. She had removed it, ironically, when Athrun returned to her. When he had given the ring to her, it was his way of saying: "Wait for me. I will be back." Yet she took off the ring, when he finally came back to her.
Cagalli left her seat to gaze out of the window. It was summer and the entire world was brimming with life. Birds sung happily in the trees while squirrels used the very same place to play hide and seek amongst the thick canopy of leaves. Flowers of all colours were blooming in the garden. Red, pink, purple, orange, white, yellow…
Cagalli's eyes came to rest on a sea of yellow daffodils. They shone as brightly as the sun in the sky and looked as happy as the rest of its neighbours.
Cagalli gave a sad smile. "Who would know that they are hiding their tears beneath their splendour?" she said softly. Her gaze slowly crept across the room and landed on the shining object on her table once again.
Perhaps it was an unrequited love all along. Perhaps both of them just wished to have someone by their side. After all, their parents were gone. Perhaps they were just insecure. Perhaps they were scared of being left alone. Perhaps he had never truly loved her before. Perhaps she had not given her entire heart to him. Perhaps he never realised she loved him, even just a tiny bit.
Cagalli tore her eyes away from the ring. It hurt, even now. Her gaze travelled to the blue sky. It was infinitely high, and endlessly blue. It took everything under its embrace, yet allowed none of them to truly reach it. This was something not even the superior technology they possessed now could allow them to do. After all, humans, Coordinators and Naturals alike, are insignificant compared to the world.
There are still so many other things in the world, Orb, her people, her friends and family and those who hope for world peace after two devastating wars. The world does not revolve on one person alone. There were still so much she had to do, so many other things she had to care about and devote her time to. She could no longer waste any minute about things which may never be.
Perhaps, it was now time for her to let go…
Author's notes: From past experiences I'm thinking some of you might want another chapter...Hmmm... It depends on the reviews!
