Chapter 2: When Pink met Blue

Finally, Athrun was permitted to see Lacus but he was given a condition that some one else will go with him for security. He didn't mind that condition, what's important for him is to see Lacus, to clarify things and to assure her safety.

But who's the one that'll accompany him?

It couldn't be someone in duty, not Kira or Commander La Flaga. It couldn't be Dearka, letting two Zafts go won't give them any assurance at all. How about Fllay? Well, she might have a light job aboard but in case Athrun Zala does something cranky, she wouldn't be able to handle him right? So who's the one aboard who has nothing much to do but has the ability and strength to handle Athrun?

Well, I think you have a clue and whether we like it or not...

"Look buddy! It's not that I want to interfere your meeting with your fiancé, this is only a favor and i can't say no to it" Cagalli exclaimed while following the quiet Athrun towards the civilian ship, of course they couldn't use the Justice because Athrun's father will go nuts if he sees it launching from the Archangel.

He stepped aside, letting her enter first "Ladies first" he smiled mockingly. She rolled her eyes away from him before pushing him inside "Whatever Ass-head! Just get in now ok, remember that I'm in charge so quit acting like a gentleman!" she groaned, resisting the feeling that Athrun's giving her.

"I know! I know! I'm not complaining about it, and it's not like you're gonna shoot me again right?" he stated mockingly, making her blush after being reminded about their first meeting.

After arriving in the Clyne's residence, Athrun asked the helpers not to inform Lacus that he's there. Of course he hasn't forgotten about the reason why he's there but for Pete's sake, he hasn't seen her for quite some time and that's why he wants to take advantage of this opportunity. He proceeded in the balcony while Cagalli stayed behind, giving a confirmation call to Captain Ramius "Go ahead you jerk! We're not wasting time here! I'll just follow!.

Athrun had stopped in the balcony and outside he saw Lacus playing with Haros in the garden. This is exactly how he wanted to see her and oh, how misses to see her like that. Who wouldn't be captivated by her undeniable beauty? Tantalizing eyes that shows thousands of emotions. Luscious lips that never fails to give a sweet smile. Radiant skin that glows with the beauty of her soul. Soft pink curls that frames the curves of her body. Soothing voice and cheerful laughs that uplifts everyone. Again, who wouldn't be captivated?

Athrun felt so amused watching her from a distance, admiring her beauty and all. "Oh God, how lucky I am to have her and how ill-fated I am to be apart from her" he thought to himself. It wasn't for long when the pink haro noticed him. It was about to make noise but Athrun signaled it to keep quiet. He was about to sneak behind her when the other haros noticed him and started a fuss which caught Lacus' attention.

It was about 20 minutes after her first concert ended and as expected, it was absolutely splendid. All her works were tiring, from singing down to the autograph signing yet it seems that she's not exhausted at all and it was vividly shown in her smile.

"Is he there already? Is he? Is he? Is he?" she asked excitedly, catching her breath.

"Yes, Ms. Clyne. He's waiting for you in the lobby"

This was her first concert and this would also be the first time she'll meet her fiancé. For some it's unfair to have a fixed engagement but Lacus is the kind of girl that believes in destiny. No matter what happens, she'll be with that someone who's really destined for her. Fate will bring the right prince to it's princess and she will meet hers someday and this might be the day.

"It's a great privilage to finally meet you Ms. Clyne, you made the concert extravagant" the young lad bowed slightly as a formal greeting to the lovely lass standing in front of him. Quite a gentleman, he's raised up to be like that and he's confident enough that he's doing it right.

Yet his confidence cracked when he heard a soft laugh from the lass who seems to be smiling at him all the time.

"Same with me, I've been looking forward on this" She stated, staring at him with an eager smile and all he could do is to smile back at her.

"And oh! You think I made the concert extravagant? Well...it's because I know that you'd be watching me" she winked before continuing "So you'll be the one to take me home right? Would it be ok for you if we'll just take our dinner at home?" she asked.

"Sure, that's all right. I know that you're already tired and besides, we can just go out on a date next time right?"

"It seems that you really want a date huh?" she teased him, laughing softly.

"Errr...so...shall I take you home now Ms. Clyne?" he said, escaping from the topic.

The Haros kept on bouncing around, excitedly screaming Athrun's name. Lacus turned to look around and from a short distance, she saw Athrun smiling at her. "Athrun!" she yelped, sudden rise of excitement was built within her as she stood up from the ground and excitedly rushed towards him. However, the Haros were as excited as her that they tend to bounce around hastily merely causing Lacus to lost her balance but luckily Athrun caught her right in time. "Careful..." he mumbled, feeling relieved after catching her.

She held up on him and faced him with an eager smile, her eyes as bright as the morning sunshine "I've been counting weeks, for you, Mr. Athrun Zala to show up"

Athrun still not letting go of her, pulled her closer to him "I thought, I'd receive a hug as a greeting but that smile would do" he said, returning the same smile.

She twirled her fingers across his neckline and moved her face next to his ears. His cheeks felt warm the moment hers touched his but he shivered instantly after he felt her soft breath tickling the portion of his neck as she whispers something to him.

"I'll give you something more than a hug later but first…tell me…" she whispered seductively before facing him back with a toothy smile "Did you miss me? Did you miss me Athrun? Did you? Did you?" she asked persistently, a soft laugh escaping her lips and her eyes gleaming with cheerfulness

"She's playing with me again, acting like a seductive lady to hook me and when I'm hooked she's back in being a cheerful child" he thought to himself, remembering something from the past

"Oh you like blueberries! I like strawberries! How compatible we are hmm!" she said, gazing at his every motion. Actually, this should likewise be a normal experience for him as he's used in dating girls before. But hey, that was way back then when he's not yet involved with Zaft and not yet engaged perhaps.

"Dammit! Why do I feel awkward? Am I not used to this? Haven't I dated before? Or...is it because I'm dating her, a very friendly girl...too friendly to make me feel a bit shy? Why am I melting with her gaze? with those...sparkling eyes?" he wondered.

"You know Athrun, you really look good. So...charismatic and...so..." she murmured, her dazzling eyes glued on him. He coughed in formality before indulging a big amount of ice-cream in his mouth, thinking on how he should react and to merely shun the chill she's giving him. Yes, indeed! He's feeling odd because of her. Often, he's the one mushing with girls and how he loves to see them flush but with Lacus Clyne, the opposite is happening.

She took a napkin and to his surprise, she wiped it on the portion of his lips. Startled and all, he held on her hands and tried to take the napkin "I...I can manage Ms. Clyne" he excused.

"Come on, don't be shy! You don't have to be so formal with me and to start with it, just call me Lacus. Besides, when we get married…you won't be able to call me Ms. Clyne anymore right? right?" she winked at him, still wiping the remains of the ice-cream away from his lips.

"I'm not shy...well…all right...ok…Lacus..." he settled and smiled, trying to get used to it. It was actually her sweet attitude that makes it all easy to get along with her.

He stared at her incredulously yet enthusiastically "Something more than a hug later? Why not now? If I say I did miss you, can I get it now? Can I?" he asked, pulling her closer.

She stepped back a bit after realizing what he's up to. But she can't hide the fact that she's enjoying this flirtatious moment too much as she blushes and giggles.

"Oh my! Isn't it too early for that? And…and oh…you know how irresistible you are when you're acting like that…so stop it because...I'm liking it!" she replied, realizing that she's actually staring at his lips too and she doesn't know why but her body is starting to move on it's own as Athrun aims for her lips and she did the same.

They're completely drowned in this enchanting moment, they wanted to stay like this forever but sadly they can't Sooner or Later, Athrun will have to leave again. She'll be counting days, weeks or maybe months for him to visit her again, for her to feel his warm cuddles and kisses again. It was always like that, everything was limited but now, in this particular moment, she can make the most of it.

Lacus wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing his face down closer to hers. Everything was going smoothly when both of them got startled after hearing Cagalli, calling Athrun.

"Athrun are you here?" Cagalli asked, walking over the balcony and as she looks out, her face flushed in embarassment "Oh...I...I...didn't know that...I thought" she explained, realizing how she stopped the two from kissing.

After being interrupted, Lacus peeped out from Athrun's back and got surprised seeing Cagalli "So you weren't alone Athrun. Oh my…what are you both doing here? Together?"

"Hey don't doubt on that jerk! It's not what you're thinking!" Cagalli exclaimed, waving her hands in a crossed motion.

"What? Oh that's not what I meant! I mean why are you two together when you're both fighting on different sides? That would surely be a long explanation right?" she asked, confused.

"Yes, I'll explain that to you later...but first, tell me...why are you soaked?" He asked, noticing that his shirt got wet after hugging her. He stared at her from head to toe and instantly turned red after rea that her soaked dress got translucent enough to show him what's inside.

Her lips curled up before showing him the water balloon "Oh! I was playing with this" she said, squeezing it on his face. "Lacus!" he yelped, surprised by the cold water that splashed on his face.

"Do you think I wouldn't catch you staring at my body like that? You and your green... naughty thoughts!" she said, wetting him all over and that's when they started goofing around, wetting each other and laughing out waggishly.
