Fandom: Gundam Seed/Destiny Pairings: Athrun/Nicol Rating: PG-13 Disclaimer: No, I do not own Gundam Seed/Destiny Author's notes: Written for crackfandom... pardon the stupidness of this ficcy
It was still the early hours of the day, for the sun had not fully risen yet. A figure draped in black clothes, with dark blue hair; could be seen standing in front of a stone in the quiet graveyard. A bouquet of flowers, held in his hands as he eyed the stone with a nostalgic expression on his face.
/Nicol, it's me... Athrun. As usual, I'm here paying respects to you... Speaking of which, when's the last time I'm here? Oh yeah... one year ago... I came with Yzak and Dearka... That was before the second war broke out, you might be wondering why I'm here again... Isn't it/
Silence greeted him as he kneel down and placed the flowers on the grave. Not bothering to stand, he answered his own question in his mind.
/I'm here accompanying Cagalli to the peace conference held on PLANT, as her bodyguard. One might have thought that we should be together by now. But we're not... do you know why? No... you probably don't, after all, you were dead. In any case, I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you. You do have the rights to know anyway... The reason as to why Cagalli and myself had yet to get together was because of you. How could I when I'm still angsting over your death... /
The sheer thought of it causes Athrun to laugh in irony. First, there was harsh laughter; then the laughter evolves into a hacking cough; and finally ended up in sobs. Heart-wrenching sobs...
It took Athrun several minutes to recover himself, once he did so. He stood up gracefully and whispered the three words, he never had a chance to; until now. Then again, the subject of his affections will never know for Nicol weren't there to hear it anymore.
"I love you..." with that, he bend down to place a chaste kiss on the cold stone; and left the place without a backward glance. Behind him, the sun rises as the first rays of light landed upon the flowers he'd left behind in his wake.
