A/N: This is sort of a drabble I wrote after I watched the episode in which Nicol dies…T.T ... R.I.P Nicol…
Disclaimer: …Sadly, I, in fact, do not own Gundam Seed…T.T
Warnings: A guy liking another guy…that's it…
Pairing(s): One-sided AthrunxNicol
"He's gone."
No, it couldn't be…
"Face the truth…"He refused to accept it.
"…Nicol…is gone."
Tears sprang to Athruns eyes as the cruel words Yzak had uttered moments before replayed in his head. It just wasn't possible. Nicol can't be gone…that bastard Yzak…He's lying. How can Nicol be dead? He just spoke to him this very morning…
(Flashback)The four mobile suit pilots were all sitting in the lounge area when the alarm rang.
"Attention all personnel, the legged ship has been spotted. I repeat, the legged ship has been spotted. All pilots, report to their respective mobile suits immediately."
Nicol quickly stood up, the book that was previously on his lap falling to the floor.
"I knew it! I just knew Athrun was right!" he said, flashing Athrun one of his brilliant smiles.
Athrun blushed, well aware that his heartbeat had sped up. "You…believed in me?" he asked hesitantly.
Before Nicol could answer, Yzak stood up. "All right, we get it!" Yzak exclaimed, "The stupid bastard was right. Can we go now?" And with that being said, he proceeded to exit the room.
Dearka gave the remaining members of the room a shrug before exiting after Yzak.
Nicol eyed the door they had gone through warily before he answered Athruns question.
"Of course I did Athrun! What kind of a soldier, not to mention a friend, would I be if I didn't believe in my commander?" Nicol replied, giving Athrun another brilliant smile,
Athrun blinked at the boy standing before him before smiling. "Thanks, Nicol…"
As they got up to go after their comrades, Athrun silently promised something to himself…and to Nicol…
'Someday, my angel, I will work up the courage to tell you how I feel…And hopefully, on that day, you'll return my feeling.'
(End Flashback)
But someday didn't come soon enough.
'This is all Kira's fault…damn him to hell!' As the anger started to boiled up inside of him, Athrun looked around the room for something to take his anger out on. Then, without warning, he stood up, ripped the sheets off of his bed, and threw them at the wall. He proceeded to rip his pillow open, knock all the things off of his desk, and going in the bathroom to break the mirror with his fists.
And after all that, amidst all the chaos, was Athrun on both his hands and knees, with tears streaming down his face. A part of him was expecting to see Nicols' bright smile when he looked up, or to hear beautiful piano music when he opened his door, or even hear his tinkling laughter float through the hallways.
But a larger part of Athrun knew that he would never be able to experience these wonderful sensations again. And as he wept for his fallen angel, only one thing came to his mind…
…'Someday didn't come soon enough…'
The End
Aya: Well, that's it. I guess this story kinda helped get over his death...poor Nicol. I'm really dissapointed that there isn't that many Ath/Nic fics. Then again, there aren't many shounen-ai fics...Too bad. Well, I'm trying to do my part. Please review. Some critism, or a note would be nice!
