Cherrie: Hi! Surprise! I had an epiphany LOL. Anyways I thought of writing this after watching GSD eps. 45… it was so sad! Anyways this is my first one-shot so I'm sorry if it sucks. Enjoy! Read and Review please

PS: a character created by me in this story named 'Kai' is not the same one as the one in 'Denying Love' for all those who read that fic.

Summary: (Set after Gundam Seed Destiny) Cagalli reflects on her relationship with him late at night, beside her lover.

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Seed/Destiny


Replaced Love

"Mhmm…" he mumbled beside me.

I turn to my side so that I could see the ends of his navy blue hair. His chin rests atop my head. I snuggle closer to him and squeeze my eyes shut, trying to convince myself that I love him. He responds happily, hugging me closer and in that one second I pretend that I didn't lie to myself, that I was really happy with him,

But it didn't work.

His emerald eyes haunt me. His smiles taunt me. I want to forget, forget that we didn't choose to be with each other. I don't want to remember him walking away from me. I don't want to acknowledge that I found a replacement while he found true love. I don't want to feel guilty about having the man beside me now,

But I do.

He buries his nose in my hair and sighs in contentment and I can't help but smile. This man, he loves me as myself: Cagalli Yula Attha, yet somehow I can't seem to love him as himself: Kai Motto. The only person that I seem to see him as, is Athrun Zala.

Why?

Because of his blue hair and emerald eyes.

One day, one day I will able to wake up and smile at the sighthim as Kai Motto, not as the copy of Athrun Zala, the man i truly love.One day i will learn to love Kai.

I'm lying to myself again.
