A/N: Note- I have seen all of Gundam Seed. I have seen the beginning half of GSD. I know as much (Through watching and reading spoilers) that a bunch of people die and that Athrun and Cagalli have broken up. However I, as well as many many others, am unsatisfied with that conclusion. I will pretend it had never happened and will continue to search for more Cagalli Athrun fictions.

With that note, I bring to you a short scene with Athrun and Cagalli.

One Shot – Vignette from a picture that I found as I was browsing the inter web. I do not know who the artist is.

Fun in the Sun

The soft warm sands of the beach tickled her toes as she raced across the shoreline. She laughed gaily as the sun shined down upon her cheery blonde head. Surprisingly enough, her fair skin took in the UV rays quite well, turning the once pale peach color into a nice healthy tan. Cagalli knew she would feel the burns the next day, but she could care less at the moment.

She shrieked aloud in protest when a pair of muscular arms wrapped themselves around her slim waist. They lifted her up and over the shoulder of one Athrun Zala. She was thrashing around so wildly that the young man had to give her tangerine covered rump a firm slap to get her attention.

"HEY!" She yelled out indignantly and right into his ear. It seemed he paid no attention to her protests. She then began to giggle senselessly when he began to tickle her on her too much exposed skin. "Stop! Stop!" She tried to command, to no avail. It took her blowing a giant raspberry to his apparently deaf ear to stop, just as he accidentally dropped her quite unceremoniously onto the ground. "You…!" Cagalli growled out threateningly as she stared up into his wonderful depths of emerald lights.

Athrun was enjoying himself quite immensely. His deep voice boomed out in thunderous laughter as he leered down at the indignant girl at his feet. From his vantage point, he could see a great deal more cleavage than usual, even with her bikini top. He would have to thank Lacus later for tricking the girl into the immodest garment. Though, perhaps he would scold her, for all the other men leering at his Cagalli in her getup. He decided he would peruse that thought later as he held out a hand to his feisty devil-in-angel's clothing. "Sorry," he chuckled out, though he didn't sound sorry in the slightest.

Cagalli huffed and turned her head away, completely disregarding the proffered hand.

"Come on, Cagalli," Athrun tried to reason. "I said I was sorry." He gave her one of his award winning smiles that he was sure she wouldn't be able to resist.

She peered up at him from underneath her sandy bangs. Her eyes were overly bright with feeling as she reached for his hand and yanked. Hard. Unfortunately, his falling directly onto her wasn't apart of the plan, but she really did not mind all that much. She cackled aloud at her victory as she tried to shove his bigger form off of her petite self.

Athrun smiled good-naturedly at Cagalli before he blew a raspberry onto the bare skin of her neck. He got up and held out his hand once more.

The usually stubborn blonde took his strong hand, felt it clasp tightly around her petite fingers, before he tugged her effortlessly up and into his awaiting arms. Her face was flushed from his playful behavior and close contact. If he asked, she would place blame in the blaring lights of the sun. She opened her delicate mouth to speak, but was then interrupted by an unwanted voice.

"Aaathaaruuun!" Lacus's wannabe called out from barely two meters away. She was running towards them in a too-small swim set. Her breasts bounced gaily along with her long locks of fake hair.

Cagalli's eye twitched. The scene eerily reminded her of Baywatch.

In no time at all, Meer had reached them. She seemed to have ignored Cagalli altogether as she latched onto Athrun's side and pressed her obviously surgically procured breasts into Athrun.

"Athrun!" Cagalli yelled out indignantly from his other side. "What is this!" She demanded. One moment she was having a dream vacation with her sort-of boyfriend, and the next, this bimbo comes in and places him in a vice-grip!

Athrun was not faring very well. A gentleman at heart, because that was how he was raised, Athrun did not know how to kindly and politely remove the leeching she-demon from his persons. What's more, she was a little too close for comfort. Were those her breasts he was feeling? His eyes really did not mean to stray to the ample cleavage of hers! No! Not at all! It was purely accidental! He turned his head to look back and forth between the two girls who wanted to claim him. How did one handle this sort of thing?

Cagalli decided to solve Athrun's problem for him. She detached herself from his side and took a few steps back from his persons. Her hands clasped behind her back in an innocent gesture as she gave Athrun an all-too-calm smile. "It's fine, Zala!"

He cringed. She going back to last names did not bode well for him. He tried to speak up, utter any nonsense; however she went along and continued as if he weren't even speaking.

"Have a pleasant time with Meer!" She chirped out way too nicely so that it sounded strained. "I'm just going to go get ice cream with Lacus and Kira. See you around!" She tucked a loose strand of sandy blonde hair behind a cutely curved ear as her final act before turning sharply in the sand to return to the others.

"B-but…!" Athrun's shoulders drooped, and it wasn't from the weight of Meer's boobs.

"I want ice cream too, Athrun!" The annoying she-demon from his side chirped up.

Sometimes Athrun really hated life.

A/N: That was fun. I apologize if anyone is out of character. I am still new to GS(D) writing. Picture link is posted below. Please remove spaces.
