Also...and I'm sorry, but this is going to sound selfish...you must remember that it'll affect your relationships with other people, too. Imagine how Shinn would react if he found out.

[After saying that, Athrun's stern expression softens...but this might be even harder to look at. He's looking melancholy.]

And as for me...I don't want to be forced to choose between you and Kira. You both mean far too much to me.

So please, don't think about that. Thinking about that will only lead both you and him down the road to pain. Keep your head about you. Please.
