Author's Note: Based off Phase 48. Gundam Seed always cuts things off when you want to see more of what happened. So here's my fluff version of an extended scene.
"No, he's definitely younger!" Cagalli replied forcefully.
Athrun grinned faintly. "Yeah, I guess you're right," he said, somewhat amused. Suddenly, on impulse, he grabbed Cagalli's arm, pulling her into a tight embrace. "I'm pretty lucky to have met you," he murmured.
"A-Athrun?" Cagalli stuttered as Athrun drew back.
"You and I can protect each other," he said softly as they both leaned in, lips meeting.
The kiss lasted no longer than the span of a heartbeat, but it seemed to go on forever, a perfect meeting of two who had been alone for too long, two who had finally found the elusive emotion called love in each other. Athrun had known he had felt something for the fiery blonde, but until this moment he hadn't been sure it was true love. But now he was sure.
They broke apart after what seemed to be an eternity, both blushing deeply.
"Umm…" Cagalli mumbled, unsure of what to do next.
Athrun smiled sadly. "We'd better get to our machines," he said, forcing himself to turn. He wished he could stay here with her forever, but duty beckoned. "I'll…see you on the battlefield."
He heard Cagalli draw a shuddering breath as he pushed away from her, floating slowly away. But a moment later her voice was strong as she boastfully proclaimed how she was going to kick more butt than him. Athrun chuckled faintly to himself as the doors closed behind him, cutting Cagalli off. They would see who was going to kick more butt.
-yawns- if anyone ever tells you to voluntarily go to school at 6:30 in the morning for AP review sessions, be smart and tell them to STFU. though i suppose Euro review sessions are only voluntary in name...-sigh- so blame that for my lack of updates. usually school starts at 7:30, which is still way too fricking early, but i dont even get up until 6:30 for regular school, let alone be ready for school. i've written 15 of the 20 and am on number 16, but i havent had time to type them. but hopefully i'll be posting more than one today. we'll see how productive I am. -hahaha yeah right-
um, lets see. reviewers. Thanks to MissKT, Ayama Keiji the Penguin Queen, and Attharun Leonheartilly for reviewing! Its all your reviews that keep me from procrastinating for days and days. hahahahaha because i'm good at procrastinating.
yeah, i'll be quiet now and go type some of my other things i've written before you all kill me for procrastinating. hehe.
