Falling For A Ghost

by pchop

Athrun blames himself for what had happened to her, and maybe that's why she constantly visited him and only him. Maybe it was retribution, because her visits were a constant, painful reminder of what happened and what isn't. But, maybe, her visits were to ease the pain, because they also brought him solace. Post Seed. Not an AU, but most likely contain AU elements. AsuCaga. R&R.

Chapter 2

Athrun could see the tears floating about in Cagalli's helmet as he helped her out of her Gundam. The hurt and fear written on her face was a mirror for everything he was feeling. Only moments ago, was he ready to give his life to save millions of others, lives that would have been lost at the hands of his father. But, Cagalli had stopped him. When she didn't go back like he told her to, he was afraid that she would get caught up in the explosion, but she let him join her in the Strike Rouge, making it out of the base only a moment before the Justice detonated.

Athrun was ready to embrace Cagalli when a green laser penetrated her chest. The tears that floated in her helmet was replaced by strings of blood oozing from her mouth. The blood gushing from the hole in her chest slowly made its way onto Athrun's suit and helmet. A terrified look was painted on her face.

"Athru—" she choked.

"Ca…gal…li"

The life vanished from her eyes, and Athrun let out the most agonizing scream he could muster.
