A day out

Shinn finally woke up with Stellar still in his arms, he smiled slightly glad that all was not a dream. He gently stroke Stellar's blonde hair and laid a gentle kiss on her forehead. He took a glance at his handphone which tells him it is around 1.p.m…no wonder he felt so hungry.

He took another glance at Stellar only to find her still sound asleep. He could hear his stomach throwing complaints after complains and insults after insults but he just could not bear to wake Stellar up just so that he could get something to eat…after all one must be a devil to wake up the angel-like sleeping Stellar…

"Ne…Shinn…is Shinn hungry?" Stellar asked suddenly surprising Shinn for a while.

"Weren't Stellar asleep?" Shinn asked worried that he have woken her up.

Stellar giggled lightly and said "Stellar woken up because Shinn's was hungry."

Shinn took a moment to process what Stellar had said and finally understood that Stellar woke up to the sound of his stomach grumbling. He blushed really hard, embarrassed about what had happened.

"So…is Stellar hungry too?" Shinn asked.

"Emm…Stellar is hungry…" Stellar said thoughtfully.

Shinn then gently stood up while holding onto Stellar to help her up.

Shinn quickly grabbed his keys and wallet without letting go of Stellar's hand. He led her out of the door and to the car park. He stopped in front of a dark green motorcycle and took out his keys. He started the engine of the motorcycle and beckoned Stellar to the passenger seat of the motorcycle. One would wonder how Shinn got all his money to buy the motorcycle and his apartment. Shinn had earned the money when he was at ZAFT.

He did not return to school even though he should still be a student, he had more than enough skill for him to get a job anyways. He now works with the Clyne Faction as a bodyguard for anyone that needed protection from the Clyne Faction, and if war was to break out, as a pilot.

Stellar hugged his waist firmly as he sped off towards the destination he had in mind. Stellar leaned her head on his back contently. Shinn let a small smile grace his lips when he felt Stellar leaning on his back.

Soon they reached the place Shinn had in mind. It was a little café by the seaside; it was the perfect place to have lunch, a place to escape the busy bustling life. It had a light atmosphere to put anyone into a good mood and the food is just out of the world.

A waiter came to take their order. Shinn ordered a lasagne set meal which consists of a beef lasagne, a soup of the day and a glass of coke, while Stellar ordered seafood spaghetti set which comes with a soup of the day and a glass of lemon juice. As the food was being prepared, Stellar and Shinn enjoyed the sea breeze and the soothing sound of the wave crashing against the beach as they were sitting at the extension area where it was quite near the beach.

"Shinn…thanks for taking Stellar here" Stellar thanked. She knew that Shinn brought her to this café because he knew that she liked the ocean and the beach.

"If Stellar like, we could stay at the beach for a while after we finished with our food." Shinn replied.

"Really!" Stellar's eyes lit up in delight.

"Yes." Shinn replied glad to see Stellar happy.

Soon after, their order arrived and they ate in a comfortable silence. The food was extremely delicious. Shinn sometimes glance at Stellar feeling a bit of warmth coming up his face. He knew he was blushing which was quite unlike him. It was only with the blonde was he able to tear down his indifferent side.

When they finally finish their food, Shinn foot the bill and led Stellar to the beach where the sandy beach lay contended and the salty sea crashed against the beach in a constant rhythm as if it was trying to serenade someone to sleep.

Stellar danced across the sandy beach spinning around giddy with joy. Shinn looked on with both amusement and adoration. Stellar noticed that Shinn was just looking on and frowned. She quickly pulled Shinn to join her which startled him to the extend of him losing his footing and fell into the sea.

Stellar burst out laughing at the sight of the stunned Shinn, all wet in the sea. When Shinn finally recover from the shock, he let a mischevious smile spread across his face. In the blink of an eye, Shinn splashed Stellar with the water making her soaked as well.

Stellar giggled and returned Shinn's favour and thus a water war ensured. In the midst of the game, Stellar suddenly started to cough violently. Shinn paled considerably and went to her side at once. He tried desperately to ease her coughing, he begun to panicked when Stellar showed no sign of recovering.

Stellar begun to flushed red and her cough started to cease but she did not stop shivering. She suddenly burst into pearls of laughter. Shinn was perplexed at what happened. His pale face slowly turned red, he was raging. Shinn grabbed Stellar's wrist in a fluid motion making her winced at the sudden pressure.

"Stellar! Please do not joke with me about this matter! I treasure you a lot and to me, this is the worse thing that you could do to me!" Shinn cried out.

Stellar's eye softened and she said, "Stellar is sorry Shinn…Stellar will never do this to Shinn again…Stellar promised."

Shinn saw the sincerity in her eyes and calmed down a little. He engulfed her in a deep hug which she returned with equal passion. The couple slowly let their legs fall apart to kneel on the ground while furious tears kept falling down uncontrollably.

Since Shinn was hugging Stellar, he could not see her pained expression, she was really in pain and had the coughing fit due to the lack of rest. She knew that even though she was given a month to life, that does not mean that she will be healthy. She had regained her form at a price, if she did not had enough rest or worked herself too much, she would be reduced to dust.

'Stellar is sorry for not telling Shinn…but Stellar want to spend time with Shinn…' Stellar thought miserably.

In a distance, a pair of eyes watched the couple keenly. "Soon…soon…" was what the figure kept repeating.
