A/N: Okay, here's the final chapter of Valentines! Please have fun reading!
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Seed or Gundam Seed Destiny.
"Valentines""What's all this commotion about?" Miriallia asked.
"Who the hell knows?" Cagalli whined.
Well, I think I do" A voice said.
Mir and Cagalli turned their heads at the person.
"Shiho!" Both of them gasped.
"Yo!" Shiho smiled.
"What happened to you and Yzak?" Mir asked, smirking.
"Tell you later" Shiho replied "But, I do know what this commotion is about"
"Well, spill" Cagalli said.
"Yzak told me that the student council will make a very important announcement" Shiho replied then eyed Mir.
"Oh!" Mir smiled "I remember Dearka talking about something like that. Wonder what it's about"
"Yeah" Shiho said "Why don't we go up front and check it out?"
"I prefer the middle if you ask me" Mir suggested.
"Yeah, I agree with Mir" Cagalli said.
"Then, the middle it is" Shiho sighed with a smile.
Then the trio fought their way in the crowd until they got to the right spot.
"You know what?" Cagalli told Mir and Shiho.
"What?" Mir replied.
"It's almost been a year and I still don't know who the President of the Student Council is" Cagalli admitted "Embarrassing really"
"Well… Not really" Shiho smiled "There are a lot of students who also don't know the President of the Student Council"
"It's nothing to be ashamed of" Mir smiled softly at Cagalli.
"Hey, can I have your attention, please?" Dearka said on the microphone. He was know on top of the stage, "Quiet down, please!"
The crowds noises were now low whispers and all eyes were on the stage.
"Today's Valentines Day, and I know roses, chocolates and obviously kisses are have been made" Then Dearka grinned at Miriallia, and Mir just smiled back with a blushing "But now, one guy is gonna pour his heart out to the one girl he had a crush on since he was in preschool and to third grade and now, love since third grade two forever. And I know, he'll love her forever!"
"So, you guys wanna see the guy make a fool of himself?" Dearka continued.
The crowd cheered out loud, they were getting excited of who the hell this idiot was!
"Okay, so settle down!" Dearka grinned.
Dearka moved backwards and sat down on a chair. The light that focused on him was turned off.
"Hit the lights!" A voice said and soon, there were flashing lights!
And a big disco ball appeared and made the room lively. The crowd cheered wildly as they heard the opening of the drums.
Then sounds of the keyboard was heard and joined the beat of the drums. Seconds after, the sound of the electric guitar, and then the electric guitar was mixed with the sounds of the bass. The electric guitar sound got louder, as if two people were playing!
Most of the female crowd cheered once realizing what song was gonna be played. It was a remix of the Backstreet Boys' What Makes You Different Makes You Beautiful.
The stage had some faint lights then the lights filled the stage with a blast when the singing began. And the more the girls cheered.
"UCK!" Mir, Cagalli and Shiho covered their ears.
"Stupid biatches!" Cagalli yelled angrily "They are going to destroy my eardrums!"
"What!" Mir yelled.
"NEVER MIND!" Cagalli shook her head.
The trio struggled not to get trampled because of their wild schoolmates. The other girls would just scream for no apparent reason even if the singing didn't start yet, and they also screamed for they thought that they were the lucky girl!
"All these girls are so… So … So … So big headed!" Flay told Kira.
"Very true" Kira agreed "They think they're the ones that he is going to sing to. But they aren't the ones"
"Yes, she is a very lucky girl you know that" Flay said with a smile "He is doing this on Valentines Day! That's so romantic! Unlike what you did!"
"What?" Kira exclaimed worriedly.
"Just joking" Flay giggled "You are too gullible! That's so cute!"
Flay playfully pinched Kira on the cheek as they both laughed.
You don't run with the crowd
You go your own way
You don't play after dark
You light up my day
Got your own kind of style
That sets you apart
Baby that's why you captured my heart
I know sometimes you feel
Like you don't fit in
And this world doesn't know
What you have within
When I look at you
I see something rare
A rose that can grow anywhere
And there's no one I know that can compare
What makes you different makes you beautiful
What's there inside you
Shines through to me
In your eyes I see all the love I'll ever need
(you're all I need oh girl)
What makes you different makes you beautiful to me
You got something so real
You touched me so deep
See, material things don't matter to me
So come as you are, you got nothing to prove
You won me with all that you do
And I wanna take this chance to say to you
What makes you different makes you beautiful
What's there inside you
Shines through to me
In your eyes I see all the love I'll ever need
(you're all I need oh girl)
What makes you different
Makes you beautiful...
You don't know how you touched my life
Oh in so many ways I just can't describe
You taught me what love is supposed to be
it's all the little things that make you beautiful to me
So beautiful...
What makes you different makes you beautiful
What's there inside you
Shines through to me
In your eyes I see all the love I'll ever need
(you're all I need oh girl)
What makes you different makes you beautiful to me
Everything in you is beautiful
Love you give shines right to me
Everything in you is beautiful
Beautiful to me
To me...
Dearka was the drummer, Yzak was one of the guitarists and Miguel was the other, Rusty was the bass player and Nicol was the keyboardist. All of them left the stage with their instruments, except for Dearka who had tons of help dragging his drums off the stage. All of them had their masks off except for the singer, the guy who is pouring his heart out.
Then a few minutes later, five of them miraculously dragged a Grand Piano to the stage. The masked singer walked to the piano as Dearka and the others left. The masked singer sat on the piano chair with a microphone in hand.
"The song that I sang and the song that I shall sing is for the one girl that I have ever loved ever since" He said with a smile "She's the most loveliest girl here tonight, her warm smile could cheer even the most saddest. Her eyes are like jewelry, but it shines brighter than anything in the whole wide world"
There was a short paused of silence. The most of the female crowd were having heart shaped eyes, their hearts pounded with excitement. They each thought that it was them, that they were the lucky girl.
"Cagalli Yula Hibiki" He said, still smiling. A big round light focused on Cagalli "This is all for you"
Then he started playing the piano. Cagalli was SHOCKED! Then she looked at his mask, it was red and had gold linings. The linnigs looked like… The big sign on the stage!
FLASHBACK
… It's design will be different from the rest…
END FLASHBACK
"It's him…" Cagalli gasped silently.
If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And shown me how to love unselfishly
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
As the song ended, roses showered down on the stage and on the crowd. The guy stood up from the piano seat, a bouquet of roses fell from the ceiling and he caught it. He walked to the crowd with the bouquet of roses. The crowd gave way for him. He stopped in front of Cagalli and smiled.
"Cagalli, you caught my eyes ever since we met. And since that day, you never left my thoughts… Even when I sleep, you are there in my dreams" During summer, I cannot hear your angelic voice nor see your lovely face. I really love you, Cagalli, with all my heart and soul" He said ever so sincerely "I'm your secret admirer"
Then he gave her the bouquet of roses and she gladly accepted it. He sighed deeply then removed his mask slowly. The crowd gasped as the mask was fully removed.
"I know that you think of me as an ego-maniac, pervert, playboy and that I treat girls like crap. But I'm not an ego-maniac, I only want to impress you to notice me. I'm not a pervert, Dearka and the guys are. And I'm not a playboy. You find me walking around with a different girl every hour but have you not noticed? After I walk with them, they never come near me or you? I admit that I treated them badly, but it was only because they had treated you badly" He said sincerely "As I have wrote in my letter, everything is in your decision"
"Athrun…" Cagalli whispered, covering her cheeks with the bouquet of roses to hide her blush,
"Cagalli, will you be my girlfriend?" Athrun asked.
Cagalli and the crowd gasped together!
"I promise you that I won't ever hurt you, but instead, I would protect you. I won't make you sad, but I would make you laugh. If you get hurt, I'll be by your side. I will not ever leave your side. I will always love you, even if you shall dump me now. My love for you is true as your existence" He continued, only looking at Cagalli and no one else.
Though Cagalli's face was covered with the bouquet, her blush was obviously seen. At the back, Kira, Dearka, Rusty and Miguel were betting against Athrun's fan girls on which Cagalli's answer would be. A yes or a no? All the fan girls voted a no, while Kira and the boys betted on a yes.
It was quiet for a long moment. But it was just really and honestly two minutes. Yes, two minutes of dead-beat silence. Not even a whisper could be heard, nothing.
"Um…" Cagalli sounded 'Here it is, Cagalli! You finally know who your secret admirer is! So, what's your answer? It's Athrun Zala, the perverted playboy! But his words were sincere… Oh, what the hell is my answer!'
Another two minutes of damn silence passed. Still no answer from her. Four minutes of silence had seemed like four years to Athrun. He was sweating and his hands were shaking a bit nervously.
'Cagalli, I love you…' Athrun thought 'Please love me back, Cagalli, please…'
"Athrun…" Cagalli said faintly.
"Y-yes?" Athrun replied.
Mir was already squeezing Dearka's hand while Shiho was crushing Yzak's arm and Flay was crushing Kira's arm too. Some fan girls were placing their hands on the mouths, covering their mouths. Some were nibbling on their nails, others were about to pull their hair out! Others were clenching their fists! And the one's with long nails caused the palm of their hands to bleed!
"Um… Er… Ah…" Cagalli stuttered "A-Athrun…"
"Y-Yes, Cagalli?" Athrun replied, even more nervous now.
"I-I-I-I… I… I… I…" Cagalli stuttered.
Cagalli kept on stuttering, her grip on the bouquet getting tighter and tighter.
"I love you" She finally whispered.
Her cheeks were as red as the roses Athrun had given her! Athrun's eyes slowly widened and his mouth hung open.
"R-Re-Really?" Athrun asked nervously "NO, I must be dreaming again!" He said aloud to himself and slapped himself on the face.
Cagalli gasped, then walked towards Athrun slowly. The crowd was still silent. Confused of what Cagalli would do next. Athrun's hand was still on his face, Cagalli got his hand and pulled it away from his face.
"NO, you're not dreaming" Cagalli whispered with a smile.
"To prove that your not dreaming…." Cagalli closed her eyes and slowly leaned forward to Athrun.
Athrun, like instinct—No, really, he had been dreaming of this day ever since he was a toddler—, closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Cagalli and leaned forward. Their lips met for a three Mississippi kiss. As they parted, Dearka and friends cheered happily. Only the gang cheered.
The fan girls were paralyzed on their spot, some had their eyes twirling, others fainter, others choked (A/N: Yey!)
"No, this isn't a dream" Athrun said to Cagalli after the kiss with a smile.
"Good that you know that" Cagalli said as she played with his blue hair "You know, you always wear a ponytail, but…" Cagalli undid Athrun's ponytail "It's better this way, you look better"
"And" He said as he undid her mask "You look lovelier without a stupid mask"
They were about to share one more kiss when Kira took a picture of them.
"Perfect!" Kira exclaimed with a grin "Mom'll be happy!"
"KIRA HIBIKI!" Cagalli yelled angrily.
"Hey, I was paid to do the job!" Kira reasoned.
Then Kira placed an arm around their shoulders and grinned as Miriallia took more pictures.
"So, now you two are officially on, right?" Kira asked.
"What do you think, pea-brain!" Cagalli replied.
"Well, yeah!" Kira grinned even if Mir stopped taking pictures. He pulled away from Athrun and Cagalli and went in front of them "Athrun! Cagalli! Did you know that the both of you were engaged since before the both of you were born! Which means, the both of you should never separate! And that you two will eventually end up marrying one another!"
All the fan girls fainted on the floor as Kira finished his sentence. Oh, gosh! There are males who fainted too! And what! They were Athrun fan boys!
Kira pointed his index finger at Athrun as if scolding him "Now, Athrun, since you CAN'T control your hormones, I shall grant you permission to do whatever you want to Cagalli, BUT! Don't hurt her! Go easy on her! Or else, I'll beat the shit out of you! And don't forget to use protection" Kira warned. Kira went beside Athrun and placed a brotherly arm around his shoulder "Got it, bro?"
"I can call you bro, right?" Kira asked quickly "You are after all my future brother-in-law!"
"Shut-up, Kira! You're annoying!" Cagalli yelled then hit Kira on the head with a hammer that came out of no where and he fainted.
Athrun and Cagalli went out of the gym and into Athrun's car. The two of them went to a very romantic sight seeing place.
They sat on the front of the car and stared at the stars as they continued to confess their feelings for one another. Kissing ever now and then. Athrun was hugging Cagalli from behind as they sat on the car.
"I love you, Athrun" Cagalli said again.
"I love you more" Athrun smiled as he nuzzled on her neck.
""No, me!" Cagalli turned pouting at Athrun.
"Nope"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Y—" Athrun silenced Cagalli by kissing her and pulling her closer to him.
The following morning, Kira was waiting in the living room. The door bell rang and he immediately opened the door. He found Athrun and Cagalli smiling at him.
"Don't act innocent with me, Zala!" Kira yelled "You took advantage of my dear sister!"
"No, I didn't!" Athrun replied, being very, very, very, very defensive.
"We didn't do anything!" Cagalli said.
"Right, you two are very defensive!" Kira replied back angrily "You two did something!"
"The things that you are thinking, were thinking and going to think of is what we didn't do!" Cagalli yelled, clutching Kira's collar "The damn car broke down that's why it took me so long to get home!"
"Fine" Kira said half-heartedly "Okay, you need to rest, sis, so, get in!" Athrun, you go to your own damn house!"
Cagalli turned to face Athrun and the couple kissed before he left.
THE ENDAthrun: Why did I have to go through all that embarrassment!
Me: Coz it's more romantic, duh! You actually should be thankful that I got you and Cagalli together that quickly or else I could've let Ahmed get her!
Athrun: Quickly? It ever since preschool! And Ahmed getting her? That pure crap! She'd never like a guy like him.
Me: How sure are you when she only met you after Ahmed died?
Athrun pales
Me: See, you worried!
Athrun: Cagalli! Athrun cries as he runs for CagalliMe: Well, he I stupid for a coordinator! He should know that Cagalli only loves him!
