Here you go:
Hopeful Amber eyes watched the Archangel dock at the port. The blonde Representative stood along with her men to salute the heroes of the war. When she saw her brother and Lacus walking down the bridge that connected the glorious ship to the port of her country she couldn't stand there she missed her brother so she acted like she would when she was younger.
Cagalli ran to her twin not caring of what people might think and threw herself at him hugging him tightly
"Now now what did I tell you about acting this way while wearing your uniform" he said to her soothingly when he heard her muffled sobs against his neck
She pulled away "I was scared that something might happen to you guys and I felt so helpless being here...not able to do anything" tears flowed down her cheeks
Kisaka her loyal body guard approached them, putting a hand on his leader's shoulder in a comforting way while his eyes were on Kira and Lacus "Welcome back, words could not possibly express our gratitude to you" he bowed respectfully and so did everyone who were standing in order behind them
Cagalli turned to Lacus and smiled "Welcome back Lacus" walked to her and gave her a hug and then her amber eyes caught glimpse of more people coming out of the ship. Hand in hand, smiling, sighing, and running to their loved ones. Her eyes searched desperately for a particular blue haired Coordinator, the pink haired princess smiled at her "He's here" she informed her with her soft voice.
The Orb Representative returned the smile full heartedly and her heart suddenly began to pound faster. She was excited to see him again she'll tell him now about her feelings how she loves him and never wants to be apart from him. She searched with her orbs frantically darting from head to head she saw blue hair Asuran She walked towards it but as she stepped closer she noticed that it wasn't him.
Her smile faded then she felt a tap on her shoulder she turned only to find the red haired who she entrusted Asuran with
"Meyrin…glad you're safe" she said but her senses and everything were trying to locate her Coordinator
"Thank you Cagalli-sama" replied Meyrin sweetly and grinned when she saw how the lady in front of her was in a distress "He's in the clinic"
"Why did something happen to him?" she asked worriedly gripping Meyrin's shoulders
The younger girl shook her head "He said he'll be there for a while"
Cagalli let out a sigh of relief thanked her and went to the man she's been seeking for the last minutes so desperately, as she entered the familiar ship and ran to the direction of the place when she was out of sight of people.
The blonde stood in front of the door to catch her breath, her fingers touched gently the ring he gave her. She hesitated a bit when she remembered some of the things they said to each other but then smiled. He must've given her the ring because he loves her too. She walked in to find him standing in front of the screen where the news were broadcasting about the end of war and a new era of peace
The blue haired Coordinator turned when he hears the sliding door opened and then closed. His emerald eyes soften at her appearance. Cagalli's eyes sparkled with tears when she saw him; she felt a lump form in her throat forming.
Asuran smiled somewhat strangely at her and walked to her never breaking the eye contact. He wanted to say something but she surprised when she launched herself at him crying her heart out to finally have him in her arms again. Thanks to his Coordinator reflexes he caught her and they didn't fall to the floor. She gave him a chaste kiss
"I missed you, I'm so happy that you came back to me…" she started
"I…" he wanted to tell her something but
"I'm sorry Asuran for yelling at you for not seeing you off for every terrible thing I've said to you I'm so sorry " she sobbed against his chest he didn't hold her or try and ease her he just listened to what she had to say
"I'm sorry the most for not telling you how much I love you" She pulled herself back to look at him, she missed him so much "I love you Asuran please forgive me"
He looked at her with a look that was a first for her she never seen him like that "There's nothing to apologize for, you've done nothing wrong"
Cagalli smiled but there was something about the way he was speaking. He was cold. She waited for him to continue
"I'm just glad to be of service Representative Athha" he said in monotone voice. She stepped back "Asuran…"
"It's for the better Cagalli" he whispered softly turning his head away from her
"NO IT'S NOT" she yelled "Look I said I was sorry…I love you damn it…" she cried "I want you Asuran, I need you by my side again but not as my bodyguard I want the world to know that I love you" she sniffed. This was what she feared the most that he won't have her back. She can't imagine herself without him
"Please understand Representative Athha this is for the better. ZAFT needs me, I don't want to repeat the same mistake" he tilted his head toward her as he said that and noticed the ring. His heart sank, he didn't want to do this but this is something he must do the world would accept them She was a Natural leader and he was the son of deceased mad Coordinator leader.
"Are you saying that…Look at me when I'm talking to you damn it" she cried and clenched her fists at her side
He faced her with that look again "You don't want to be with me…you don't lo…"
"What are you expecting Cagalli" it was his turn to yell at her "There's no way this will work and sometimes people act some things out of pity"
"You mean you proposed because you pitied me" she asked him raising her eyebrows shocked while tears continued to come out of her saddened eyes
"It's time that we grow up and move on Cagalli wake up there's no way that I'd be with you" It was hard on him to hurt her but it had to be done. Z.A.F.T needed him that was what he tried to convince himself
"Don't say that Asuran…Don't say something you'll regret" she pleaded him
"What things will I regret?" He crocked an eye brow at her "We're better off alone" he gave her a finale bow and turned her back to her to watch the screen again.
Cagalli couldn't believe what he was saying. It can't be, she loves him why was he saying things that would make them apart, things that meant he didn't want her by his side that they were never meant to be. She left him without any more words.
The heart broken blonde was making her way out of the ship if that's the way you want it she wiped her tears away. How could she be so stupid throwing herself at him for God's sake she is a leader and her people are in a very dire need of her? How could she be so selfish thinking only of her own desires and needs? Her thoughts were cut when she bumped into someone
"Watch where you're going" she yelled frustrated from everything that happened
"I'm sorry I wasn't looking" apologized the ruby eyed Coordinator
"Shinn!" she gasped "What are you doing here?" she asked confusedly
Shinn looked at her "Luna wanted to be with her sister so I tagged along"
"Oh…" silence
"Sorry for yelling at you, I'm glad that you're safe" she said and started walking
"Athha" he called to her. The blonde stopped and turned to see him "Yes?"
"Aren't you mad at me? For trying to kill your brother and kill you" he stared at her face. She smiled at him and approached him
"It's ok you were just angry I just hope you understand everything now" she put a hand on his shoulder reassuringly
"I'm sorry" he apologized and turned his gaze to the floor ashamed of himself "I'm sorry for yelling at you, speaking ill of your father, for killing…killing your people" he couldn't control the tears that flowed freely from his eyes
Cagalli's hand went to his chin and tilted it to make him look at her and his other hand wiped away his tears gently
"Everything is over now shhh. You can make it up to your country, its ok everything will be fi…" she stiffened when he hugged her tightly and sobbed resting his head on her shoulder
She relaxed and smiled poor kid he must be suffering she returned his hug and squeezed him to tell him it's going to be alright.
When his sobs and sniffs died down she spoke softly "Come let's go join everyone" Shinn released her when his body didn't want to and this was weird to him to have comfort in the arms of the person he thought he hated and loathed the most.
"Thank you Athha-sama" he said acknowledging her as his leader and stood beside her
"Orb missed you" she smiled at him and for the first time in a long time he smiled genuinely "and Cagalli would be fine too Shinn"
Almost Fifteen months had passed since that day; Asuran became a member of the supreme council of PLANTS led by Eizaria Joule. Peace was restored and treaties were made, he did what he came here to do. It was a rainy day (of course they plan the weather in advance up there…way out of point anyways back to the story).
The emerald eyed Coordinator sighed and relaxed in his big leather chair in the spacious office of his. He massaged the bridge of his nose with his thump and index finger.
He remembered the day he met Cagalli back on Earth on the small island where it was raining. How he had changed from that little boy. He still loves her with all his heart after all those years. He felt a connection with her from that rainy day. And it was the truth he fell for her and he fell hard.
"Cagalli" he said to no one just saying her name would bring comfort to his troubled soul. He unbuttoned the first button in his uniform and held the Haumea stone with his fingers.
"It's a protection stone of Haumea, you're too unstable. Get some protection from it" The blonde Natural said to him after placing around his neck.
"Even after I killed Kira"
"I don't want to see anyone else die, no matter who it is" was her firm reply
Asuran smiled, who he was kidding when he said they'd be better off alone. He may appear solid and strong on the outside but on the inside he was crumbling to pieces every day that he breathed away from her he felt a part of his heart die. He missed her and everything about her.
He sighed his work was done for today with that he left the building deciding to take a walk to stretch his tired legs.
"Go away from me!" yelled a woman pulling her arm from the grip of the crying man
Asuran ran through the park to where he heard the woman's voice he thought she was in danger but when he saw the look and the tears on the man's face he stooped behind the bush and watched
"Weren't you the one who said we're better of ALONE!" now the woman was in tears
"I'm sorry please forgive me Elaine I was stupid…" he sobbed facing her, grabbing her wrist again when she tried to walk away
The emerald eyed coordinator subconsciously clutched at his heart as it was beginning to beat faster Cagalli
Tears kept flowing down the woman's cheeks and she shook her head "Leave me alone" she pleaded she didn't want to go through that again what if he decides to leave her again
"I thought I was doing the right thing to make everyone happy…" the man tried to explain
"Did you see me happy!" she yelled at his face
He pulled her against his chest and hugged her, she tried to pull away but couldn't he was stronger she pounded her small fists against him repeatedly and sobbed "I won't let you do this to me again"
"I won't please believe me…I can't go on without you please come back to me I love you Elaine"
"No…no…no" she kept hitting him and her pounds becoming less frequent and weaker until she held his clothing and sniffed "Why are you doing this to me Adrian" she hiccupped "All I ever did was loving you but you…" she sniffed
"I hate you…" Her eyes stung she tilted her head to look at him "I hat…mmmhmm" he shut her up with a kiss that released all the longing that he had inside for her. It was only a matter of seconds before she returned it with more passion.
They kissed frantically tasting the salt of each others' tears, sweet saliva and feeling their warmth again. They broke for air and the woman stared with her wet eyes at him
"Adrian…" He put a finger to her lips
"I'm sorry and I've never regretted anything as much as I regret what I did to you. I'll make it up to you, please forgive me…I would never hurt you ever again, never…I love you. Will you take this unworthy man back into your heart" he begged and removed his finger. Her lips ascended to his for a chaste kiss
"You never left it idiot…I love you" she cried but these tears were of joy and happiness of having the man you love back in your arms
Asuran turned his back to the reunited couple, as the dark feelings of loneliness and regret loomed over him.
"Cagalli…" he called her again knowing that she wasn't able to hear him "I love you…"
What has he been doing all this time? Maintaining peace at PLANT? Of course he wanted that and he made it easier for his people, since he was the son of Patrick Zala he corrected their way of thinking but at what cost? Losing Cagalli…Was it worth it? It has to be he sacrificed of notbeing with her for them but to what in return? For the greater good. He missed his blonde fiery somewhat tomboyish Natural.
He wants to be with her again. He didn't need that couple to remind him how much he loved her or longed for her he knew that but what he was afraid of was…Will she take me back! After all the things he said to her will she forgive him? Will he be spared a second…third chance?
"Why do I seem to have all the questions and never the answers!" he voiced up his question. He must go to her, he must have her back, he still loves her as the day he met her perhaps much more.
Determined he sets to correct the biggest mistake in his life…
