Christmas Decorations

-

"Athrun, are you sure you don't need help?" Lacus asked in amusement, she tried her best to sound worry, but it failed. She only wanted to laugh at her boyfriend. She reentered the living room with another box of ornaments. She settled the box with the rest of the others by the plain green pine tree.

"Athrun?" She called out again to her boyfriend.

The navy blue haired man was only cursing at himself for the situation he was in. From head to toe Athrun Zala was wrapped around in Christmas lights. It first started out as a simple task of decorating the tree with the colorful lights, but somewhere during that process he ended up wrapping himself in the lights.

As Athrun tried to rid himself of the lights, he heard laughter coming from the pink haired woman. "Ahahaha very funny…" He said sarcastically, looked over at the woman. She covered her mouth trying to contain the laughter, but it failed. Their gaze met for a moment and Athrun saw in sparkle in her blue eyes.

"Lacus what are you doing?" His green eyes watched as the woman walked over to the outlet with the plug. "Lacus, please don't-" But before he can finish, the lights around him lit up.

"Now all you need is the golden star…" Lacus said as she took out a star from the box. She walked over to the man and laid the star upon his head. She clapped her hands together feeling pleased with her deed.

"There now you are my Christmas tree." She gave him a smile and a peck of the cheek which made Athrun instantly blush. That quickly disappeared as he remembered the mess he was in.

"Lacus as much I would love to be your tree…It's very uncomfortable being trap in these things."

"Okay…" Lacus said sadly as she helped out. She carefully untangled the man from the lights.

The day turned into night, the couple sat in front of the finally finished decorated Christmas tree.

"It's beautiful don't you think?" Lacus asked as she laid her head in Athrun's shoulder.

"Yea…"Athrun answered blankly. Lacus looked up at the man. Ever since she helped him out of the lights, he had been spacing out.

"Athrun are you okay?" Lacus finally asked, she kept quiet the whole time only ignoring his actions. She couldn't keep it in any longer.

"Yea, don't you think that space…" He pointed at a spot on the tree, "Is too empty?" He asked, he looked at Lacus who nodded to his question.

"You're right." She got up and walked over to the tree, she held out her hand, "Can you pass me the blue ball?"

Her hands felt the smooth and cold texture of the glass round ornament. She placed it on the tree, but it was still empty. "Can you pass me another one?" Her eyes still focused on that spot of the tree.

Once again she felt the smooth texture of the decoration. "I think you should add one more." Athrun suggested, his hand was buried deep in his pockets. His fingers played witha small box.

"Yup, one more should make it complete." She held out her hand once again but this time she didn't felt a round shape. It was a square somewhat like a box. She quickly turned around to meet a kneeing Athrun,

"Lacus Clyne, will you marry me?"
