5 mins after Athrun walked out of the bedroom

" Hello? Yep we've landed Kira...About 30 mins...everything's fine, Cagalli was very amused... Uh huh sure...all facilities are good, remember I designed the system here...the news? No I haven't looked yet"

Athrun picked up his headphone and connected it with his phone, he was having a talk with Kira which called him a moment after he and his wife arrived at the house. He could not deny the feelings that he felt Kira acted more like a protective brother which of course made him more alert for a bit.

He began turned on his laptop and opened the news page like Kira said. It came out all of the news station around the globe reported their top news to be the grand wedding of Orb. Shortly, Athrun could felt his face getting more red, he let his jaws slightly drop. In front of him was the photo of the very public scene that he and Cagalli were kissing passionately at the Altar during the wedding ceremony with the headline "Glorious day of Orb, Natural and coordinator finally become one.". Cagalli looked very elegant in her long white bridal dress, she was hugged by Athrun who wore white tuxedo and white pants, looking sharper than before.

" hey, Athrun... Athrun, can you hear me?"

"Huh huh? What did you say?" He then began push out from the photo with Kira's voice. " sorry I was er.. shock. wow, that was the most public thing I've ever done in my life, I would swear" Athrun answered. "but I feel that at least I could make her feel happy today"

"of course you can, that's why she loves you and decide to share a life with you." Kira responed proudly before changing to serious tone " take a good care of her, okay?"

" I will, Kira, I will"

After they finished the conversation, Athrun hung up his phone and turned off his laptop. Although he had prepared himself for the news and how his life will be changed a few days later, he could not deny the nervousness in his married life with Cagalli. From now on, Cagalli will not be just his lover, they has been bonded together with love as the real husband and wife.

Suddently, a loud objects dropping sound was heared from the bedroom. He then turned his head and walked toward the door, began knocking gently.

"Cagalli, are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

" yea yea! I'm fine... I'm fine .. Almost done." He heard her responded with hurry.

" are you sure?" He asked her again

" of course hamster brain" she said with annoy 'clank clank ,tup tup' he heard noises again" okay okay, you can come in"

'Hamster brain?' Athrun thought with laugh, it's been so long for him to be called by this name. She usually called him by this name when she was frustrated only. Then he opened the door slowly and his eyes were widen when saw the small alarm clocks and decoration dolls placed on the bedhead, now laid down on the floor of the bedroom. More than anything he saw his wife sat on the edge of the bed while covered her body her body from shoulder to knee with layers of bed sheets and blanket.

"I was pulling the bed sheets out of the bed but it was so tight, and my arms were bumped to the clock" she said quietly

"Why are you covering yourself with the bed sheets?" He asked her with confused. " Are you feeling unwell?"

" no no, I'm really fine" she said with the blushed face, especially when his emerald eyes stared intently to her. "Don't ask me so many questions, just go take a shower, damn it!"

" ... ah, right" Athrun responded , he thought sometimes his lovely princess became more cute every day. Although he did not a person who love to tease but he realized he usually be like this especially when he was with her.

15 mins later

Athrun walked out from the bathroom wearing a bath-rope to cover his body. Cagalli suddenly blushed when seeing his handsome face, his hair was a bit wet which made him more sexy. She could see the haumea pendant that she gave him three years ago on his chest including the platinum wedding band on his ring finger.

He began sat down next to her on the bed while using the small towel to dry his hair. The nervousness ran through her body, tonight will be the first night she will stay with Athrun, not lovers but as husband and wife.

"Cagalli" she could felt his hand rested on her shoulder " why don't you take off the bedsheet? I think it makes you uncomfortable". He said gently while looking at her.

" It's nothing, you see.." She responded, tried to think of words to say to him " it's just.. my pajamas, it looks too errr...well.. funny ."

" funny? just that? Cagalli, you should not be worry about this stuff" Athrun replied "remember, I'm your husband. I won't laugh at you."

"Are you sure?" Cagalli asked him again for sure "Don't stare at me too much then" she began uncovered the bed sheets. Suddently, Athrun could felt his breath stopped when seeing the scene in front of him. His wife were wearing a beautiful light green dress, it was only a knee length. The dress has two straps which could show her bare shoulder and her white smooth skin. Upper part of the dress was cut in hearted shape and a bit see-through on her waist, which could definitely show the curvy details of her body so well. He could felt his eyes widen with the stunning feeling and could feel the hotness flowed around his body; the tiny blush was on his cheek. Immediately, Cagalli used her hands to cover the upper part of her body while turning her head away from Athrun's stunning face.

"Enough, stop staring! I looked so ugly." she shouted with embarrassed, her face was now completely red like a beetroot. Tonight was definitely the moment that she dressed the sexiest clothes that she has ever worn in her life, not only that, she was now in front of a man who captured her heart and he totally saw everything. 'Oh Haumea, please… how can I face him, I look so embarrassed… What if he ah!' Her thought was immediately cut-off when a pair of strong arms embraced around her body. The hands gently touched her bare shoulder. She turned back, more than anything, Athrun's face was now buried on her back, she could felt his silky hair tickled her neck and his nose was on her shoulder.

"Athrun? What are you doing?"

He reluctantly pulled her close to his body; her back was pressed firmly on his chest. He kissed her bare shoulder which made her blush more. Her scent was so sweet and her skin was so smooth. He thought it would be really hard for him to stop himself.

"Who in the world will think you look ugly, princess?" Athrun whispered with his usual husky voice while murmured his lips to her shoulder. "You know what I'm thinking? I think you look absolutely beautiful tonight and I'm so lucky that now I have you … in my arms"

Cagalli didn't know how to react, her mind of course was still nervous but she could felt the love and joy gently ran through her. She has never seen this part of Athrun before, Athrun who was so quiet and serious could have the romantic side that could make all the girls in the universe fell for him easily. Now she had the slight tears from her eyes, it was not the tears from sadness like the day she was about to marry with Yuna Roma Seiran, it was definitely the tears of joy. Slowly, she turned herself facing him and hugged him tightly, letting her face buried on his muscular chest to hide her redden face.

Athrun let his emerald eyes looked at his wife lovingly; he never had this kind of feelings to other's women before. Not Lacus, not Meer, not Meyrin; only her could make he felt like this. The woman that stole his heart and made him swore to protect her with his life eternally. He began using his hand to careless her face to look at him, their eyes stared and fill with love; he could felt her face came closer to him. He closed his eyes slowly when felt his lips finally landed on hers.

It was like an electric spark, he kissed her gently careless her lips like it was the most precious thing to him; before getting hungrier, deeper and more passionate. Cagalli let go of her feelings, letting her body acted what it needed to do, she moved her hand that on his chest to embrace around his neck, allowed him to kiss her deeper. Athrun held her body tightly, afraid that she might be disappear if he let go. He slowly leaned her to lie down on the bed, never broke the kiss.

Athrun hesitantly broke the kiss before moving his lips to her neck, he kissed her and careless her gently making Cagalli felt so happy. She gave a light moan when felt his lips on her skin, his body was now pressed firmly against her body. She could see his bare chest easily because he was wearing only a bath rope. His lips slightly came down from her neck to her collarbone, he began kissed it gently which made his wife moan with pleasure, the kiss was moved to her shoulder while he removed her strap of her dress. Cagalli as well started to pull of his bath rope as he allowed her to do, she removed the upper part of the rope showing his well-built body which could made all the girls gone wild.

They began kissing each other again with passion, his hands roamed over her beautiful body; from her shoulder, breasts, waist and her slim thighs. Cagalli put her hand around his neck, allowing him to get more access.

"Cagalli" Athrun said slowly, his eyes looked at her lovingly

"Athrun" she responded, her face was now red and contained pleasure from their activities

"I'm sorry, I could not control myself anymore" he proposed "I never have this kind of feelings before. I don't know what to do"

Tenderly, Cagalli pulled him close to her and kissed him deeply. Athrun eyes widen with surprise, this was the first time she kissed him first. She broke the kiss slowly while looked at him

"Athrun, we are married remember, I did not feel sad about this. I 'm so happy we have bond together. You're the only one that made me feel like this" she touched his face with her hand "when I'm with you I did not want to be the princess or the representative. I want to be just Cagalli … a normal girl who've already fell for you." She said "Some say naturals and coordinators cannot belong together, but for now I want to forget them all."

"Could you be just Athrun tonight? Not the son of Patrick Zala, not the coordinator; but just Athrun … the only man I love."

Athrun felt no hesitation in his thought, he bended down and kissed Cagalli strongly. Only for her, he would like to be just an ordinary guy name Athrun, who swore to protect his woman with his life. Born on the Zala family was a heavy burden for him, many girls fell for him because of his name and his honor; but not for Cagalli, she's the only person who loves him just the way he is. No matter how naïve and indecisive he is, she still loves him with her heart.

He broke the kiss and took her left hand, he kissed the ring on her finger "I swore I will protect you forever and will not apart from you again. We will always together no matter how good or bad the world is, I will be with you, fight for you and … love you with all my life."

Cagalli smiled sweetly, it was really looked like a knight swore to his princess, an eternal bind that they promised to each other. She put her arms around his neck again, gave him a loving gaze. "say it again, please"

"I love you, Cagalli"

"Athrun"

Their lips met again, this time stronger and deeper than any moment. Their hearts were already melted together; their breaths were short and started to fuse with each other. Cagalli could felt his hand slowly caressing her tight, touching her skin beneath the dress. Athrun removed his rope completely and hugged her close. The pleasure ran through their bodies, they would like to stop this moment if they could. Cagalli's hand griped the pillows firmly while her digging her toes on the bed sheets. Outside, the moon shone brightly for the couple with the stars decorated beautifully.

Athrun and Cagalli were finally bonded together.
