[infinitejustice]

I-I will!

[Athrun holds his hand out to take the keys. He'd rather not have to end the day with a trip to the emergency room, thank you very much.]

[galacticbunny]

Too bad.

[ ... because Sheryl wants to drive. She drops the keys in between her cleavage. ]

Here. You can take it.

[ She dares you. ]

[infinitejustice]

[Oh hell no.]

Have it your way!

[He lunges for Sheryl's waist, hoping to grab her then lift her up over his shoulder and let gravity reclaim his keys for him.]

[galacticbunny]

Athrun! What are you---

[ She screams when he lunged for her. She didn't expect that. He lifted her up over his shoulder. She definitely hadn't expected that. ]

Athrun! Put me down or else I'll--

[ She didn't finish because the keys fell unceremoniously to the floor. ]

[infinitejustice]

[With one fluid motion, Athrun bends forward to place Sheryl back on her feet, then swings back to grab his keys before straightening up.]

You didn't expect that tactic to forever be guaranteed to work, now, did you?

[galacticbunny]

[ She doesn't respond in words. Sheryl just gave him a stubborn pout not liking that he wretched the control away from her.

With a flip of her hair, she then turned around and walked to the car.

Don't expect her to speak to you the rest of the ride. ]

[infinitejustice]

[Oh, well. You win some, you lose some. Athrun leads the way to the car, then opens the passenger-side door for her.]

[galacticbunny]

[ She gets inside and still doesn't say a word.

Tsssssuuunnsss ... ]

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun gets in the car on the other side and begins to drive. He seems to have a place in mind, though, as he's driving with deliberation.]

[galacticbunny]

[ She still doesn't feel like talking to him, so she is humming the melody of her song Obelisk. ]

[infinitejustice]

[Normally Athrun would turn on the radio to break the silence, but he has the feeling that that wouldn't be such a good idea right now. It's not like he's driving far, anyway.

Eventually he stops in front of a tall, thin building with a rotunda at the top. It's a fancy restaurant, perhaps the fanciest in town, and generally only used by generals, admirals, and their families. It's where Athrun had taken Sheryl on their first date, and where he had proposed to her.]

Come on. The reservation's for 6:30.

[galacticbunny]

[ Still stubborn, she refused to speak but when she saw where he took her Athrun might see the recognition in his eyes. She pouts a little at his obvious play at playing with her heartstrings.

This was after all the place she agreed to marry him.

With just a little hesitation, she got out from the car and joined him. ]

[infinitejustice]

[Oh, there's a reason he brought her here. A very good reason.

He plays the gentleman again, holding open the doors for her, and directing the elevator to the top floor. When they enter the restaurant, they're taken to a room in the back. They're the only diners there.

And sitting on the table is an envelope addressed to Sheryl. Within she'll find a husband-to-wife birthday card.

You didn't think he'd forget, did you?]
