My apologies to anyone who may have done this idea already. There are a lot of stories out there and I have yet to read them all.

Desperate for Warmth

Athrun Zala, the paragon of what a soldier should be.

Some days I wonder whether he would have reached this level of excellence were his father not the Chairman, but that matters not. He is what he is now.

He is smart. He is fast. He is exceptional in both hand and mobile suit combat. He is all that and is also cold.

So very cold.

Though he maybe cold, it is not because he wants to be.

I can see it in his eyes despite his earnest efforts to hide it with indifference, but it is there.

He is desperate for warmth.

So perhaps he is not as perfect as her seems. I suppose I can see why though. Why he possesses this flaw.

His mother, who I assume was Athrun's main source of warmth, is now deceased.

His father, who I doubt ever gave Athrun much comfort in the first place, regards Athrun as nothing but a pawn.

His friend, former friend, who I suspect Athrun had feelings beyond friendship for, has essentially betrayed Athrun.

So desperate for warmth, Athrun is.

It's no wonder he does not protest as I tug his body towards mine and hug him in my private office of my quarters.

So desperate for warmth, that he does not move as I cup his pale face in my gloved hand and list it slightly for better access.

So desperate for warmth, that he does not turn away as I place my lips on his cherry pink ones and trail my tongue along his bottom lip.

So desperate for warmth, that he does not struggle as I wonder just how desperate he is and push him towards my bed.

End

I suppose you can guess what happens next but...Anyways. Don't get me wrong. I love Athrun. He's my favorite character. And I do believe he's really strong. But it really must have been hard for him so he had this weakness. And in this fic, I'm not saying that Creuset loves Athrun. That seems too out of character. He lusts after Athrun and is taking advantage of his weakness. So poor Athrun and eviiilllllee Creuset and slight implications of AthrunxKira, yay! R&R please.
