Chapter 2
"Because I care about you, Athrun… I love you." I couldn't believe that these words were coming out of my mouth. Where did all this courage come from? I shook the questions from my head and looked into Athrun's eyes. He still held much bitterness in his eyes, but still, I found myself holding my breath as I waited for his response. Athrun looked away, his eyes tearing up slightly. "… … …You killed Nicole… …For that, I cannot forgive you." I hesitated a moment, reconsidering my decision, then shook it off as I stepped forward, pressing the palm of my hand against the scanner beside his cell door, my head lowered so that my emotions couldn't be seen.
"I'm sorry, Athrun… …" I stepped into the cell as the door swung open. Athrun took a step back as I approached him. Stepping forward quickly, I pin him to the wall. "Athrun, I'm so in love with you. I know that what I've done on the battlefield is unforgivable. But I can try to make up for it." Leaning forward, I capture his lips with mine, still holding his wrists captive against the cell wall. My body acted on its own, molding Athrun's body against mine, and it felt so right. It only took a split second to break our control, the moment we broke the kiss and looked into each others eyes. A moment later, we were tangled in each others arms, our clothes nothing but shattered memories on the cell floor, and we clawed at each other, more delicately than it sounds, kissing and exploring each others bodies until our energies were spent and we collapsed to the floor.
Athrun rose and quickly dressed as I began to wake. Before I could even say a word, he was fully dressed and out the door. I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes as the reality of last night's events hit me. Athrun and I had made love! Surely, he loved me as much as I loved him. It had been as explosive to him as it had been to me. Forcing myself to rise, I slowly dressed. Just as I had pulled my shirt back on and straightened it out, Flay burst through the door. "Heated night? Hope you enjoyed it, because your 'darling Athrun' just escaped."
"What? Wh-what do you mean, 'Heated night' ?"
"Don't play stupid with me. We should have known you were in with the enemy when you demanded that no harm should come to him." Flay shook her head and scowled at me. "But don't worry. You'll be with him soon enough. I've informed the Captain of your betrayal. You are to take your gundam and leave." Letting out a sigh, I walked out, gathered my things from my room, and headed toward the hanger, my every movement followed by shocked, disbelieving, angry faces. Giving only one last glance, I turned away in my gundam, and when the hanger door opened, I took off.
Space. Who would know better than me how lonely it can be when everyone around you hates you. I don't know where I'll go, but where ever it is, it'll be just as lonely. But until the moment that we're together again, I'll replay last night's events forever in my memory. Athrun, please, I beg of you. Please wait for me.
