A/N: A fic in dedication of Christmas and New Year. Have fun reading! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, mina!

Disclaimer: I won't be writing fics if I owned Gundam Seed/Destiny, I'd be making more sequels to the anime focusing on Athrun and Cagalli.

"Snowflake"

The Zala brother's have just reached home and Shin was still pestering his older brother about him falling for Cagalli. Shin followed Athrun as Athrun walked up the stairs.

"And that look in your eyes when you see her!" Shin said annoyingly.

"Stop it, Shin!" Athrun yelled back.

"Then the tone of voice you use when we all have a conversation together!" Shin laughed "I mean, it's just not you and that means you are in love!"

"Shut the hell up, Shin!" Athrun yelled as e got in his room.

Shin was about but before he could enter, Athrun slammed the door in front of his face.

"Hey!" Shin yelled, but Athrun ignored him.

"AM I really falling for Cagalli?" Athrun asked himself as he laid himself on the bed.

"Yes, you are!!!" Shin yelled from the other side of the door.

"God, he has good hearing skills!" Athrun thought unbelievably. "What should I do to impress her the next time we would see each other?"

"Give her something that you made yourself and make sure it comes from the bottom of your heart!!!" Shin yelled.

"LEAVE ME ALONE, FRIGGIN' BASTARD!" Athrun barked back and surprisingly, Shin didn't argue back and just went to his room.

"Now, what to make her?" Athrun thought and thought hard.

What on earth could he possible give Cagalli to impress her?

A bouquet of flowers? A book? A teddy bear? A cd?

Athrun lay on his bed thinking what to give her to impress her.

As he was thinking, he fell asleep.

DREAM

Athrun was surrounded by tons of flowers of any kind. It wasn't cold or hot, it was just the right temperature of the day, Athrun closed his eyes as a light breeze passed by him.

Athrun opened his eyes and still, no one was around. He started to walk, but found that he was flying!

He was shocked that he lost his balance an fell on his butt on the bed of flowers. He looked at his back and found wings! Wings like an angels! But where did he get them?

Athrun tried flapping it and it flapped up and down. Then he got into flying and flied around. He flied around the unknown place but all he could find were flowers everywhere.

He kept on flying but never got tired and then he saw a girl wearing a white dress and a white sun hat to match. She carried with her a basket of flowers that she was picking up from the ground.

The girl stood up and noticed Athrun, she looked at Athrun, smiled and ran laughing looking back at Athrun.

Athrun followed after the kid, but the kid wouldn't stop and he didn't intend to stop her anytime.

The kid ran to a pair of adults, her parents Athrun thought. Then behind the two adults, another girl a bit younger than who he had just met appeared behind the parents.

"Mommy!" The girl who Athrun just met called "Daddy!"

"What is it, sweetheart?" The mother asked.

"I saw an angel today!" The girl replied "It was my guardian angel! He had wings!"

"Of course angels have wings, dear" The father said smiling.

"He had night hair! And… And vegetable eyes!" The kid smiled "He was flying really high! It was like he was part of the sky!"

"What's the sky, daddy?" The other asked while sucking her thumb.

The father carried the younger child and explained.

"Oh, so that bwue twing is a sky?" The kid awed.

"Yes, sweetie" The father replied.

Then suddenly, the scene changed, Athrun was now in the halls of a familiar mansion. But he just can't seem to remember. He heard sobs coming from a nearby room. He followed the sound that led him to a room.

He found a kid about six or seven year's old sitting on her bed crying. He felt pity and didn't notice he was approaching her and he placed a hand on her shoulder.

The kid stopped crying and looked up…

"Who… who touched me…?" The kid said to herself.

The kid stood up and looked around, but couldn't find anyone.

"Daddy, are you playing hide and seek with me?" She said to herself again "Well, thank you. But, I really miss you, daddy. I wish you're here right now. Mommy and sister are sad too. Please help them feel okay too"

Then the girl smiled outside the window and tears fell from her eyes slowly.

Then the scene changed again, now the same kid was a bit older and was crying again. Athrun was in a hospital this time, he saw the kid crying in one of the vacant rooms.

"It's alright, Miss" Her nanny comforted her.

"Nothing's going to be alright!" The kid yelled "Daddy's gone! And now, mommy's gone! Nothing will ever be the same anymore!!!"

"Nothing will stay as it is, Miss" The nanny replied "That's how life is. If your parents were here, child, they wouldn't want to see you like this. So, I beg you to please stop crying."

But the kid didn't and just kept on wiping her tears.

"Mommy…"

Then the scene changed again, this time Athrun was inside an office. A teenage girl was crying, the papers around her was already wet due to her tears.

"I'm so fed up with this!" The girl yelled angrily.

"I miss the old days! I want mama and papa back! I want them back! I can't take this anymore!!!"

The girl looked up and saw Athrun.

"You're… you're that angel!" The girl exclaimed "You're that angel I saw when I was four!"

"But... how? Why?" The girl approached Athrun and hugged him suddenly. Then the girl noticed Athrun didn't have wings anymore.

"Where are your wings?" The girl asked, but she answered her own question "They must've been cut off because of me! I'm so sorry!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you trouble! I'll be good now, I'll work harder now. I don't want anyone to be in trouble because of me!"

The girl continued on blaming herself. "I promise I'll be working harder now, for you, for mommy, for daddy, for sister"

"Please, Mr. Angel, take care of my parents. I know you've seen them around. Please take care of them, I want them to be safe. I'm completely safe here I want them to feel safe too. Please, take care of them"

Then the girl pecked Athrun on the cheek.

END DREAM

Athrun woke up from his dream.

"What the hell was that!" Athrun said.

"That was Cagalli…" Athrun muttered "But how could that be?"

Athrun remained silent for awhile then looked at his desk. Then he ha a great idea, he smiled and sat on his chair.

He started on making the gift he wanted to give Cagalli. And he knew that this was what she'd want.

Stellar sat on her chair in her room as she rank her milk. And read the papers that were sent to Cagalli.

"How could this happen, just when things were finally okay…" Stellar said sadly.

Cagalli was in her room, she had fainted in the arms of Stellar awhile ago after reading the papers.

DREAM

Cagalli was in a beach, a private beach. The sea breeze was refreshing as usual, she noticed it was big and almost deserted. She tried to run and find someone but she didn't.

She suddenly tripped and noticed that she didn't hurt herself. Instead, she didn't get dirty either. She was flying! She had wings! Cagalli went wide eyed, how on earth was this happening?

Cagalli pulled her wings as she stood on the ground, she pulled it as if it weren't real. But as she pulled harder and rougher she felt the pain.

Then she suddenly heard a boy screaming and running around the beach with a younger boy following him.

"Hurry up, slowpoke!" Te older boy yelled at the younger boy.

The younger boy stuck his tongue out but still followed the older one.

"You should be happy, bro!" The older one yelled "Father just won the election!!! You should be happy!!!"

"He did?" the younger boy asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, he did! So get your butt over here and let's have some fun!" The older boy waved and the younger brother ran.

The older boy turned around and caught a glimpse of Cagalli, e smiled at her and waved.

"Thank you, My Angel! Thank you for letting my father win the election!" The boy said and jumped into the water followed by his younger brother.

The two siblings splashed around the water and later was called by a female adult they addressed to as mother. The two boys ran to her as they called and gave her a big hug.

The mother kissed both her children on the head and their father came and gave them a hug. The siblings congratulated their father as their father gave them a hug.

Then the scene changed, Cagalli was in the halls of what looked like a school. She was floating/flying just above a classroom. She saw a lady with black hair enter the classroom.

Curious, she leaned her body closer to hear.

"Excuse me, ma'am" The lady said calling the teacher.

The teacher excused herself from the class and went out of the classroom. The lady whispered something on the teacher's ear, the teacher went back to her classroom and called a certain student of hers.

The student's guardian was waiting for him outside, the student immediately went home. Cagalli followed the child as he was brought home. Cagalli also noticed that the child she is following is the same child she saw awhile ago.

Once they had reached the child's house, the child ran to the living room. And saw his mother crying. He approached his mother to comfort her…

"Mother, what's wrong?" The child asked worriedly "Why are you crying?"

"You're father has… has…" His mother sobbed.

"Father as what, mother?" The child asked.

"He was… assassinated…" The mother cried "During his meeting… There was a bomb…"

"No…" The boy whispered. Then he ran to upstairs to his room.

Cagalli followed the boy, curious and worried of what he might do. She found the boy inside the room of his father, crying…

"He couldn't die… He just couldn't!!!" The boy cried.

"Why did it have to be him…" The boy's tears fell uncontrollably from his eyes, wetting his uniform.

Cagalli felt pity and hugged the boy, knowing nothing else to do.

"It'll be alright…" Cagalli whispered on his ear "Don't cry…"

The boy felt and heard her, but still he couldn't stop crying. Instead he cried on Cagalli and hugged her.

"Bring father back!" The boy exclaimed "Bring father back!"

Then the sobbing disappeared and the boy disappeared too. Her surroundings changed, now, a boy a bit older than the previous one was lying on the bed. Crying heavily, his room was a bit dim, the curtains were hanged low.

The boy felt her presence and looked at her angrily, his face stained with tears. He stood up and threw a pillow at her, Cagalli wasn't able to dodge it in time and so she was hit. When the pillow fell, the boy yelled at her…

"How dare you!!!" The boy yelled "You took father away not too long ago and now you took mother as well!!!"

Cagalli's eyes grew wide, what on earth was happening…

"You have some nerve showing in front of me!!! You took away my parents!!! Get out of here!!! Get out!!! I hate you all! I hate your kind! I hate you angels!!!"

"GET OUT!!!"

Cagalli blinked an angel? But how? She noticed she still had her wings, which is why the boy addressed her as an angel.

"What—" Cagalli was cut off, the scene changed.

The new scene was in a library, or something that looked like a library. She walked around and saw a table in the middle of the room filled with shelves.

The table was big, papers, folders, pens, pencils, and other office supplies were scattered on the table and under it. She found a teenage boy sitting down on a chair looking/reading a file. He looked as if he didn't get any sleep, he looked tired.

Suddenly, the kid cried and threw the folder he was reading…

"This is stupid!!!" He yelled "This isn't supposed to be happening to me!!!"

Cagalli hid behind a shelf but accidentally pushed a few books down. The boy stopped and stood up, Cagalli acted quick and got the books. She returned them on the shelf, but the boy caught her…

"You…'' The boy said "What are you doing here…?"

"…" Cagalli remained silent.

Then ith out notice, the boy ran to her and hugged her.

"I'm sorry!" He cried "I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry I did that a few years ago!"

"Ever since that time you left, I thought I'd never get to apologize to you! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, I was just blind by both my parents deaths! I'm sorry! Please, forgive me!"

Cagalli hugged the boy and hushed him.

"Please… Take care of my parents…" The boy said silently but Cagalli could hear.

The boy hugged Cagalli tighter as if he would die if he'd let go.

END DREAM

Cagalli woke up and noticed tears falling from her eyes.

"Athrun…" Cagalli said under her breath "I think I'm loving you… But… I'm sorry…"

The tears fell from Cagalli's eyes faster, she placed her hands on her face.

"I'm sorry…" Cagalli sobbed.

Cagalli stayed in her room for the whole day, Stellar tried to let Cagalli go out of her room but she couldn't.

Stellar got worried and stayed quiet in her room after failing…

"Would she end up like mommy…?" Stellar thought sadly, remembering her mother "Please, daddy, mommy, help Cagalli get over this… She just can't go through this all… I know that both of you didn't want this to happen and didn't to this to her, but I have no proof. Please help me help Cagalli…"

"I can't tell Shin about this too… How can I do this…" Stellar thought.

Athrun also stayed all day in his room, but Shin didn't worry one bit. Athrun was happily locked in his room to make Cagalli's gift.

But Cagalli was sadly locked up in her room, hoping things didn't turn out this way.

Yuuna was laughing evilly in his room (A/N: Ever since I made him laugh in the previous chapter), for he knew Cagalli would be his.
