Battle For Love- Reunited

"It has been so long and yet we had to see each other under these circumstances." Cagalli had a plain smile planted on her face.
"Yea. Cagalli...I missed you. I'm so happy to see you again and I waited a long time to say this, I just never really got the chance...well...I love you." Athrun confessed his feelings after waiting for so long to finally do it.
Cagalli was actually overjoyed to hear Athrun confessing his feelings, but due to her weak body all she managed to do was put on a warm smile.
Cagalli was sure happy, but she knew that it couldn't last. She was also quite aware that if she was by Athrun's side again and died it would only hurt him.
"I love you to Athrun, but I don't know if we can be together." Cagalli said as she tried not to meet Athrun's gaze.
"I mean if I-" Cagalli was trying to explain, but was interrupted by Athrun.
"I won't let you die, Cagalli." Athrun said with determination.
"I can find the best doctors in the world to save you. Then we can be together again." Athrun held onto her hand tightly.
"Athrun...maybe it is fate that I have to die. Maybe it was already determined that I had to die when I was first born with this terrible heart disease." Cagalli said with hesitation.
"Well, I'm going to change fate. I won't let fate take you away from me again. As long as I have a single breath left in my body I will make sure nothing will happen to you. Please...let me help." Athrun stared deeply into Cagalli's eyes.
Cagalli was touched by his words. Much to her dismay she didn't think she could accept them.
Athrun saw how uncomfortable Cagalli looked and decided to break the silence.
"Have you heard the story of sleeping beauty?" Athrun suddenly asked.
Cagalli wasn't quite sure what the subject "Sleeping beauty" came from, but decided to go with it.
"Um...yea, a lot of times." Cagalli replied.
"Do you remember the part when the prince in shining armor risked everything in his life in order to save the person he loved, the princess? No matter what the obstacles were if it was a fire breathing dragon or a terrible curse, he would try to save the princess. Eventually they got to live happily ever after when he freed the princess from the curse by kissing her." Athrun asked.
"That was my favorite part." Cagalli stared intently at the person standing before her.
"Let me be that prince. No matter what happens let me help you, protect you, stay by your side, love you and live happily ever after with you." Athrun met Cagalli's gaze.
Athrun then took out a ring from his pocket.
"And yes, I'm proposing." Athrun stated seeing Cagalli was speechless.
Cagalli thought it was the happiest moment of her life, Athrun was proposing to her! A few years after Athrun left, this Yuna guy tried to propose to her, but she rejected him the first moment he tried taking out the ring and said "Will". Cagalli felt so much different now than when Yuna proposed to her, this time it was Athrun and she actually wanted to say "yes".
"Well...um...I...what...if..." Cagalli was stumbling on her words not sure of what to say exactly.
"You don't have to answer me now. For now allow me to protect you. I know the best doctors in the world...they can save you please try to live on! Live on, for yourself, your friends, family and for me." Athrun tried talking some sense into the person he loved.
Cagalli just hung her head down trying to think about thoroughly.
"Remember when we were younger? I said that when I'm by your side no one will hurt you? I wanted to protect you and make sure that you would never get hurt again when I was at your side, but yet in the end I was the one that hurt you the most. Not only have I hurt you, I failed to keep my words for so long which is inexcusable. Please, let me protect you like I said I would. I couldn't protect you in the past, but let me make up for it in the future." Athrun said as he was on the verge of tears once again.
What Athrun just said was just the push to make Cagalli return back to her senses.
Cagalli looked up at Athrun and replaced the frown on her into a smile. She then raised her hand above her head, clenched her hand into a fist and extended her pinky finger.
"I promise that no matter what happens I will live on, be by Athrun's side and to get married with him as soon as I get better." Cagalli said with a goofy smile on her face.
"Deal." Athrun nodded and locked his picky finger around hers.

"Awwwww, that's so sweet." Dearka said as his ear was pressed upon the hospital room that Cagalli and Athrun was in.
Mir's facial expression was saying "Stop-invading-other-peoples-privacy." But in the inside she was just dieing to know what was happening.
"What did happen anyways?" Mir whispered to Dearka, but still didn't change her expression.
"You really want to know?" Dearka raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe." Mir looked defeated.
"Okay." Dearka replied as he was nodding his head.
"Cagalli doesn't need to die! Athrun said that he would save her by getting the best doctors in the world! Well, at first she didn't except the offer then Athrun said all these mushy things which included proposing to her and she finally agreed to the doctor thing!" Dearka said just like a little kid would.
He then leaned against the door and began singing.
"Athrun and Cagalli sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i- AH!" Dearka fell face flat on the floor as Athrun opened the door.
Dearka quickly got up and began to brush off the dust from his shirt.
"Heh, heh." Dearka laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
Mir just giggled at the sight.
"I suppose both of you know what's going on?"
Both Mir and Dearka nodded, which made Athrun blush a bright shade of red.
"Well, I'll be back in a few minutes...um...so...yea..." Athrun stumbled on his words since it was awkward enough to propose at a hospital, but having two people eavesdrop on it, was just too much.
He quickly walked off into opposite direction they were in and avoided any looks from both Mir and Dearka.

After getting lost a few times Athrun stood in front of the door that belonged to Cagalli's doctor.
He knocked on it softly.
"Come in." A voice called out.
Athrun opened the door, entered quietly and closed the door when he was in.
"What can I do for you?" The doctor inquired.
"Um, doctor-" Athrun was looking for a name on the desk.
"Mwu La Fllaga, but just call me Mwu."
"Okay. Do you remember the girl that's going to die of a heart disease, Cagalli Yula Attha?" Athrun asked.
"Yea, of course. Poor girl having to die such an age." Mwu said softly and gestured Athrun to sit in the chair in front of him desk.
"Who are you? Her family?" Mwu raised an eyebrow at him.
"I'm her fiancé." Athrun said proudly and sat down.
"She doesn't have much more time though." Mwu reminded Athrun.
"Yea I know, that's why I came here. Is there anything you can do for her?" Athrun asked.
"Currently we don't have anything to cure her type of heart disease. Even though the medical technology is quite high-tech now, but there still hasn't been any cure made so far that can save her right now. The only thing that might save her now is a sort of heart surgery, not only is it risky to do with only a 40 percent chance of success, plenty of side effects, place the person in a comma, it's very expensive, but 90 percent of the people that try this surgery died." Mwu explained seriously.
"We don't even provide this kind of surgery here, not just in this hospital, but the whole Japan." Mwu added.
"Where do they provide this surgery then?" Athrun asked hesitantly.
"Don't tell me you actually plan for her to do this surgery?" Mwu inquired.
"I...don't know." Athrun reluctantly answered.
"Well, suit yourself. The only place they provide this kind of surgery is in America and only the best doctors perform it for a very expensive price might I add. I'm not trying to be nosey or anything, but can you even afford it let alone get the best doctors to perform it? I mean the price let alone is a big shock." Mwu asked.
"Try me." Athrun said in a cocky tone.
Mwu thought that saying it might be too big of a shock to him so he wrote it down and passed it to Athrun.
Athrun looked at the long written number with quite a lot of zeros, but it didn't shock him one bit.
"Psht, that's the amount of money I make in a week." Athrun smirked.
"Huh?" Mwu was scratching his head.
"Make that much is one week? I bet he doesn't know famous doctors." Mwu thought in disbelief.
"Do you know famous doctors like Lacus Clyne, Meyrin Hawke, Shinn Asuka and Meer Campbell?
"Heh, I've seen all of them at my birthday party. Me and Shinn got so drunk at the party I punched him and he didn't even know when he woke up with a swollen lip. Lacus Clyne is going out with my best friend and Meer Campbell has wanted to date me for about 4 years now." Athrun said casually. He never liked bragging in fact he hated it, but this Mwu guy really forced it out of him. One thing Athrun hated more than bragging was being looked down on and Mwu was defiantly looking down on him.
"Whoa this kid knows all these people." Mwu thought starting to believe Athrun.
"What is your-" Mwu was saying, but got interrupted by Athrun.
"Right now I just want to know which doctor you think is the best for this type of surgery." Athrun crossed his arms.
"Hm...I'd say Lacus Clyne. She specializes in these types of things." Mwu nodded in agreement with himself.
"O yea and when can Cagalli get discharged from the hospital?" Athrun asked while he got up form the chair.
"O not long, we can't really do anything for her here, so when she feels better she can leave." Mwu seemed to have put more attention rummaging through his drawers.
"Okay then thanks for your time." Athrun bowed and exited closing the door on his way out.
After Mwu went through all of his things he finally found his glasses which he immediately put on and began to read his newspaper until he came across an article that had a picture of a blue haired boy with some other people. He jogged through his memory and remembered the guy that just went into his room.
"Ha, how ironic. Next time I should really keep my glasses on." Mwu laughed at himself for his stupidity.

Athrun made it back to Cagalli's room without getting lost too many times.
He went in to see that Dearka and Mir was still with Cagalli.
"Hey, I'm back." Athrun smiled at them.
Athrun was planning to explain the surgery and everything to Cagalli, but first of all he was wondering if Cagalli would even want to go to America.
"Hey Cagalli, if you had the chance to go on a trip to America would you?" Athrun asked normally.
"Same goes for Dearka and Milly." Athrun quickly added, so that they wouldn't feel left out.

A/N: I just noticed how OC Athrun is in this story, but he had to be or it just wouldn't have worked out. Just a heads up that there is 70 percent chance that this story will have happy ending.
