athrun and cagalli have

---

They have a storyline at least. It developed over time and it was the scene at the end that they're anywhere remotely close to making out with lip to lip action, if any. Cagalli met Athrun when they were stranded on an island. They part their separate ways. She later found out Athrun killed Kira (at this point Kira doesnt know Cagalli's relationship to him.) She confronts him with a gun and demands an explanation when she found out Kira was 'killed' and by Athrun while Athrun is nursed back to health. They part. Many episodes later they are allied. Orb went through tough times and Athrun wants to be closer to Cagalli. Kira finds out after Atha's death that he's Cagalli's 'twin.' Kira and Athrun fights back against Zaft but Athrun has to find his father and persuade him also. In the end Athrun has no choice but to disarm his father and Zaft's gigantic beam. Athrun decides to do it alone but Cagalli saved his life. After season two then Athrun decides to give her a ring but doesnt explicitly imply he's marrying her.

Shinn and Luna's relationship was that they're on the same ship. They share the same fate of seeing through Meyrin's and Athrun's change of heart. Shinn was all hard and shit but Luna decides this rock needs to soften up. For Shinn and Luna to suddenly jump on each others lap right away is not natural. I can understand if they decide to comfort each other but there needs to be conflicts, climax, and resolutions and here they're just dragging it along & skipping all the parts. I guess they're waiting to return Meyrin in a pine box before they'll have Shinn speak a single word to Luna about their relationship with one another. Here you have a storyline that's developing and at least there should be a line like

Luna: Shinn, was that the MS from earlier war?
Shinn: I...It's not. I dont know.
Luna: Oh.
Shinn: I think Meyrin is alive.
Luna: She will always be my little sister.
Shinn: (hugs & kisses)

I guess it doesnt add much to the story but it wouldnt hurt add one, just one sentence to Shinn & Luna side story. I'm a little disappointed. GSD becomes all drama-queen over Shinn's hate for Kira, Orb, Blue-cosmos, war, terrorism, etc but Shinn has no drama when it comes to relationship. He was depicted as cocky & confident when he whupped Athrun's butt when Athrun's not looking for a fight and then shown as weak, withdrawn, & bitter when he's pwned despite all the time he smack talks about how no one know anything about him. I sure can't either but If the author wants us to hate Shinn then, congrats., they've done it.
