CHAPTER 4

When you see her start crying

The whole ORB head house was in disorder. Athrun could only watch as senator after senator argued inside the conference room. He stood there, calmly leaning back on the wall, watching as some political drama unfolded.

Negotiations with some country was apparently put to a stop after an incident occurred regarding Cagalli's behaviour during one of those fancy parties she attended. Some son of another country's president was hitting on her and she flatly rejected him on the spot—and knowing Cagalli, well…let's just say she did it a bit too harsh.

"What were you thinking Cagalli??" Some old geezer said, furiously looking at the silent princess.

Athrun wandered his eyes towards the blonde girl. She had her head down—A habit she developed when someone scolded her.

"This is a huge problem! Didn't kisaka teach you about proper etiquette??" Another one rambled on.

Athrun glared at the guy. Is he implying that Cagalli doesn't have manners?! He maintained his cool composure, watching Cagalli carefully once again.

She was still silent. She didn't even budge.

Athrun was getting worried. She NORMALLY fought back after being told about how she was raised. But no…she remained passive.

"You should think before you act!!" Another one said. And many more followed, all talking at the same time.

The whole room was buzzing about complaints against the princess. Athrun wanted to punch the living daylights out of all the old senators. Glancing back to look at Cagalli, his eyes widened.

Her fists were clenching.

Not the 'I'm gonna pummel you to death' kind of clench.

But the…'I'm about to cry' kind of clench—and Athrun Zala, of all people, knows this.

And he, of all people, NEVER wants to see Cagalli cry.

Abandoning his spot, he walked towards Cagalli, who was sitting down on the chair reserved only for the Leader of ORB.

Standing still beside her, he carefully took a hold of her hand, surprising the blonde princess.

Cagalli stared at him intently, surprised that he would do such a bold move. "Athrun?"

He didn't answer.

But merely gave a reassuring squeeze, tightening his grasp on her hand.

(Just hold her and dont say a word)

When you see her walking

She was busy looking at some papers, walking slowly in middle of the hallway.

Athrun watched her from behind—his military training finally put to good use. He was undetected.

She looked so cute (even from behind). Athrun grinned. They almost reached the end of the hallway. And once they do, hordes of people would start crowding her immediately.

Quickening his pace, he succeeded to successfully stand behind her—still undetected. He smirked. She can be too distracted sometimes.

Carefully snaking his arms around her waist, he pulled her into a hug, surprising the blonde girl.

"What the—?"

"Hi Cagalli!" Kissing her on the cheek, he hastily tightened the hug and instantly let go afterwards, escaping from any possible harm Cagalli may inflict for surprising her like that.

"Ath--!!" she turned around, wanting to pummel her boyfriend alive—but was too late. Athrun was out of sight. Darn him and his coordinator genes…

(Sneak up and hug her waist from behind)

When she's scared

"ATHRUUUUNNN!!"

His eyes shot open. Cagalli was screaming!! Not minding that he was just in boxers, he hastily ran towards the kitchen (blame his sharp sense of hearing)

"Cagalli!! What's wrong!?" Athrun shouted as he entered the kitchen, seeing Cagalli up on the counter.

Cagalli looked at him, 'scared' written all over her face.

He was getting worried. Hastily entering the kitchen, he instinctively looked around, used to sensing if there was an enemy. "What happened??"

She didn't answer, paranoidly looking around.

"Cagalli?" He repeated. This time, he approached the blonde girl, urging her to get off the counter.

She remained scared, looking around. This confused Athrun. "Cagalli! C'mon! what happened?"

"There's…"

"Yeah?"

"T-there's…."

"There's a what?"

"There's a freakin c—"

But before she could finish, a brown insect suddenly began flying around the room, passing by Cagalli by a mere millimetre. This caused the blonde to panic, jumping off the counter in haste. "Gah!! Kill it Athrun!!"

" I will. Later."

"Kill it NOW!!"

"I can't!"

"Why not!?"

He didn't answer, but instead, a blush graced his features.

Cagalli looked at him, raising an eyebrow. What's up with—

That's when she noticed.

She jumped off the counter. But she didn't land on the floor.

She landed in the arms of a certain someone named Athrun Zala—who only had boxers on.

And she was…well…she was wearing a short nightdress.

Crap.

Athrun was carrying her…and well..his hands…well, of course…um..well…he was carrying her..so…you know? Her thighs? Well…his hands….you know.

And of course…she was being carried so….you know…chest..um…skin? exposed…um….no shirt? Get it?

Okay…

Silence ensued as both blushed.

But the awkward moment was soon disturbed as the cockroach again, flew by, making Cagalli's grip on Athrun all the more tighter. "EEEEE!! Kill it already Athrun!!"

Athrun grinned. I never knew cockroaches would someday help me get something good!

Seeing Athrun's face, Cagalli slapped him on the head, disturbing his train of thought. "Athrun!!"

"Can I kill it later?"

"KILL IT NOW!!"

"Alright alright….five more min—"

"ATHRUN ZALA!!"

"Okay okay…calm down. I'll go get a slipper."

"You do that! now put me down so you could get one."

"Oh! Of course!"

(Protect her)

BONUS

--the next morning

Sitting down on Kira's desk, he was smiling like an idiot.

Kira, who watched him grinning for the past hour, finally decided to ask. "What's with the smile?"

"Kira...do you know how great cockroaches are?"

"...weirdo."


How was it!? Haha XD please review sorry if it isn't that good…
