I don't own Gundam Seed (although I wish it was)
It's just that I was bored and wrote this story in my mind and decided to put it online.
This is an AsuCaga Fanfic
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE REVIEW!
I hope I could hear a lot from those who would be reading
If what I'm attempting on doing is good or bad ))
This is my first time so…
PLEASE BE KIND

The rain started to fall…tainting the glass with those tiny beads it bears.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'll have the Scallops and the blackberry verbena"
He just kept on moving…handing the menu back to the lady whom she couldn't care less. She saw his features the moment she laid her eyes on him. Scolding herself for not realizing his voice a while ago, if she had conceived it was him then her eyes wouldn't be gawking with disbelief, her body wouldn't suddenly become stiff. She wasn't even sure whether she was breathing or not. The whole world could collapse right now for all she cares. All that matters is that, He came back.
"Don't you know that those are the cuisines this place is famous for?"
"Funny how you were the second person who said that and I still don't care"
"I see…"
"I asked you a question, what are you doing here?"
He created a casual entry, always calm and unhurried and yet,
She reciprocated with indifference. Talking as if he was a stranger, asking as if he meant nothing to her.
"I believe I scheduled an appointment with you"
"Sorry but that's not the answer I was looking for. How long have you known about this?"
"Since I arrived in Plants"
Was he playing with her? Since he arrived in Plants? He already knew it a week before and yet he didn't even tell her. They were always laughing on the phone, talking like there's no tomorrow and it seemed like there never really was a problem. Does he even know the feeling of carrying a huge sack of burden on her shoulders? On how does it feel to talk to him while being unable to tell him her suffering?
"Since you arrived? And yet…and you didn't even tell me?"
"How uncaring could this person be?"
"Now I know why you don't care. This doesn't really taste like a kebab"
"Are you saying I can't eat gourmet cuisines on a five star hotel?"
Clearly, she was beginning to think that him trying to get her pissed off wasn't a coincidence. He intends to do so. And he might be successful this time.
"No, what I'm saying is. You're not the type of person to indulge on such extravagance. I prefer you being that way. You're not afraid to tell people what you don't like."
"What?"
She couldn't believe what he was trying to do to her. One moment he was measuring her patience and now, he was completely complementing her. But she remembered, he had always been like that. He notices things about her that she ignores or often fails to see. He told her once about all her positive attributes and she remembered how she felt happy about it. Not because someone just praised her but for the reason that she realized he was always looking at her. Although she didn't tell him how happy she was that day, for it definitely would be embarrassing for her to admit. And whenever he attempts to do it…
"Well, It's seems pretty obvious now that you ditched work. Care to even tell me how you made that even possible? Admiral Zala."
…she would just divert it to another topic. Because if he kept further, he would definitely notice those red tinge changing the color of her cheeks.
More and more…his smile grew
"Hahaha sorry, I guess I couldn't help checking and seeing what you would look like after three weeks because you denied me the opportunity when I asked you on the phone"
"And contrary to one's belief. It's possible. I asked Commander Archiene to cover for me and just send me the files back to Orb. I told him I would be needing you to read those and as compensation for him doing my work, I'd have to do his here in Orb"
"You realize that you just ordered a commander didn't you?"
"More like asked a favor since he was my father's friend but never mind that. I, doing his work here would cost a whole month, combined with my duties as well"
"Such unbelievable thing to do…"
"And for what reason, rational enough, would you be doing that kind of thing?"
She made a face that looked like she saw a pig fly in between them when he just smiled at the look on her face.
He was never a stupid person. All positive adjectives would always apply to him but stupid would never be attached to his name. She saw him as a rational man, capable of logic and playing by the rules. But what he just said made her think twice on what images she had of him. He risked his time and duties just so he could shorten his stay in Plants? What was he even gambling for? Her?
"Is he an idiot?"
"Well it would be a month and doubled load of papers but…"
Even though she hates to admit it but, she becomes weak under his stares. Making her stare anywhere except back at him, start fiddling her fingers as he presses his elbows on those sheets and inched his face nearer to emphasize what he has been doing.
"Seeing you in a dress, made things worth it"
"If I ask him, I wonder what he would tell me"
He did it for her. He always did, even though she's capable of discerning it or not. She fears the day that they would be apart. The very thought of it would make her cry. Whenever she looks at him she always had this wringing question in her mind that only he could answer. Maybe today was the day that she could ask him. Going by the flow of what was already happening with him participating ridiculously on a dating session, she clearly had no idea of.
"Athrun…"
He sensed the hesitation as he waits.
"Athrun…why do want to get married with me?"
Maybe he'll answer the same thing as what those spoiled rich men had told her a while ago. He'll definitely say she was beautiful and is the princess of Orb. But she doesn't want that. Deep inside, she doesn't know the perfect answer to her question. But she had to ask him. Because she was giving him the right, the right to decide whether to make her happy or devastated. She was putting her emotions in his hands, and why? Because she fell in love that hard that she fears, she could leave everything just to be with him. To the point that if he asks her to leave Orb…maybe she could.
"I don't know…"
"Huh?"
"I'm afraid I have to tell you this but…I'm already married"
"Really? then would you care to tell me, the reasons of why you married her?
Again…they decided to act like strangers.
He started it, and then she played along.
"Well, she gets easily pissed off about almost everything. She doesn't take a break even though she needs one and she is a handful you know… I told her not to do one thing and that's the first thing she does after I Leave""
"I'm not like that…!"
"I-I mean maybe…maybe she's not like that"
They were playing a game of pretend but…clearly; she doesn't have a chance of winning.
"Stop smiling like that. Athrun you idiot"
"Oh no, she had always been like that since. She doesn't like wearing dresses neither will she put on any make-up but for me…"
...
"Everything about her is enough. She's kind and puts others first. No matter how hard it was she would always fight for what she believes in. she carries a gun but she wouldn't kill anybody. And to think, she values my life more than I do. I wanted to stay by her side, to know her more…to be there when she needs me. To-"
"Stop!"
His words sparked two things inside of her...for one,
Forgiveness is what she wanted. But the moment she got it….
…every word burned her with guilt. His smiling face was something she doesn't want to see or even look at. How she had wished for him to get mad. To punch the man who just made an attempt to steal his wife. Scold her and threaten her that he would leave her and make her beg. It's amazing how watching a lot of dramas could do on one's imagination but it was the only way she could feel repentance. The least he could do was to shout at her, but he just sat there and smiled. And she found it unfair…
For her, because she kept what she thought was something he didn't know. Only to find out he was two steps in front of her.
And for him, because he just got stabbed at the back but he was pushed to just accept all of them. He trusted her, she broke her promise and yet, he remained unshaken.
This is the consequence I have come to accept when I asked you to marry me…
"But how much more could you take?"
…
"I don't want to hear this anymore"
She screamed, stood up and caused a scene. She ran outside with him following from behind and never got to finish his food. The other guests were all staring at them; the music came to a halt. More and more whispers about them a having a lover's quarrel was beginning to rise among the crowd. For Pete's sake, the waitress was even in front of them.
"And now for the Orb weather report, a low pressure area has been detected here in the western area so be sure to bring out your umbrellas and coats with you…"
