Disclaimer: I wish I owned Gundam SEED, and it feels so depressing knowing that I don't.

Summary: Cagalli breaks up with Athrun. How do they both feel?

A/N – words in italics are flashbacks

A line is change of a scene

I usually try to stay away from using symbols, but I just couldn't think of any other way to do it. I don't know why but it's probably just because I'm lazy and it's just easier for me. Less typing... (sweatdrop)

Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that this is supposed to take place about 2 years after the war. (Shh... pretend Gundam SEED Destiny doesn't exist...)

Short Moments

"Athrun... it's over between us."

"...weather is going to be sunny with scattered showers. Now up next..."

Athrun reached his hand and smashed the snooze button. He slowly pushed himself up from the bed feeling awfully heavy. He dreamed about his break up with Cagalli again. Thinking this he fell back onto his bed in a heap, stuffing his head under his pillow. He hadn't seen Cagalli since they had broken up a few days ago. But if he did see her, he had no idea how he would handle it.

Cagalli found herself on the floor that morning, her back aching. She was always on the floor whenever Athrun wasn't...

She smacked herself in the face and shook her head furiously. Her blonde hair completely messed. She got up off the floor and was about to go back to sleep on the bed when her maids came in to wake her up. They were mildly surprised to see her already awake, but were now somewhat used to it. But that didn't mean that it felt right. Cagalli groaned and ate her breakfast in her room. She had another busy day ahead of her.

A while later, Cagalli had walked downstairs after a raging war against her hair. It seemed that sleeping on the floor in an awkward position had made her hair stick and stay like a wild animal. The right side of her head still had many strands of hair sticking out visibly, while her left side seemed very puffy. She fell back onto the couch in the living room glaring at the ceiling placing all blame for her bad hair day on it.

It was rare for Athrun to have a day off from work. Today was one of those days but he decided to work anyway. He drove to the military facility where he worked on the drawing up of blueprints, and building whatever needed to be built. He was starting to turn into a hard core workaholic. But he found that it helped lessen the pain. No matter what he did, all he could think about was Cagalli. He missed her.

Tears formed in her eyes as she screamed, "We hardly ever see each other! How can you even call what we have right now a relationship, Athrun? There just isn't room in our lives for each other."

Athrun stared in shock as he listened to Cagalli. His mouth hung slightly opened as he listened, unable to speak.

"Athrun... it's over between us."

Athrun pulled into the drive way. At the same time, he saw Cagalli's limo pull in as well. He looked at the limo's tinted windows, unable to see inside. He wondered if Cagalli was looking at him from through there, but quickly pushed that thought away. He looked away from the limo and parked his own car. He got out of his car and entered the building.

Cagalli looked through her window. She saw Athrun staring right at her. No. He was staring at the window, he couldn't have seen through. It hurt her when she saw him look away so quickly. But even as he looked away, she continued watching him up until he entered the building and out of sight. Cagalli sighed tiredly, she was dreading the upcoming meeting.

The sun was beginning to set as Athrun prepared to leave. He got into his car, opened his window wide for some fresh air and rested his head on the steering wheel. He closed his eyes, listening to his own breathing. He smiled sadly as he looked at the empty passenger seat.

Athrun parked the car near the edge of a tall cliff, he had promised to show Cagalli the city at night. He turned to wake the sleeping princess sitting beside him. Her face was very peaceful as he watched her sleep. Her blonde hair swayed lightly from the wind blowing through the open window.

Athrun examined Cagalli carefully. She was completely relaxed, yet she seemed so tired as well. Athrun smiled and decided against waking Cagalli up and instead placed his ear against her chest and listened to her heart beat. He could feel her chest move up and down as she breathed in and out. He heard every breath that she took and he enjoyed listening to it as well. Athrun soon fell asleep, his head falling onto her lap, while listening to Cagalli's calm breathing.

Cagalli was finally able to leave the meeting after countless suffering hours. But the instant she left, she saw Athrun in his car with his head down on the steering wheel. Cagalli walked closer and found out that he had fallen asleep. She looked at him sadly as she remembered a memory from the past.

Cagalli began to open her eyes as she wondered whether they reached the place Athrun said he'll take her to. He had promised to show her what the city looked like at night from somewhere high up. She was unable to open her eyes since the light was shining right at her.

"Stupid light..." she thought. Then suddenly her eyes snapped open, it was morning. But before she did anything else, she noticed that Athrun was sleeping on her lap. She stared at him quietly in awe. She smiled as she began to lightly push his blue bangs away from his face. She gently ran her fingers through his hair, enjoying how it felt between her fingers. Athrun's face as he slept made Cagalli's panic from before disappear. She has another meeting that she was supposed to go to, but for the time being she wanted to stay with Athrun just a while longer. Cagalli settled back onto the car seat making herself comfortable once again, and went back to sleep.

Cagalli-sama." Kisaka's voice called out to her and away from the past. Cagalli turned around, taking one last look at Athrun. She ran off towards Kisaka but then suddenly realized something. Cagalli picked up a small stone and threw it at Athrun's head. She saw the stone connect making Athrun wince in pain. She laughed loudly as she ran to her limo.

Athrun was jerked awake suddenly when a rock had smacked him hard in the head. He fell asleep without even realizing it, and his window was wide open. He heard a very familiar laughter. His eyes opened wide as he saw Cagalli's childish laughing face as she ran to her limo and out of sight. Athrun laughed lightly for the first time in days.

"Cagalli," he said to himself smiling, "maybe there's still a chance for us."

A/N – Yay!!! Chapter 1 is done!!! The end of this chapter seems to end very quickly, suddenly and awkwardly... hmmm... ah well. Just so you all know...

Have a nice day.

EDIT

Yeah... so I ended up editing this chapter to change the flashbacks to italics.

Thank you to all who have reviewed so far. (smiles happily)

Special thanks to Lomiothiel for suggesting putting flashbacks in italics. I was kicking myself for not thinking of it myself. I had spent god knows how long trying to figure out how to put in flashbacks without actually having to write flashback each time and the answer was soooo simple, yet I don't even think of it. (continues kicking herself)
