Worth the Risk
AN:
I really don't see the point to disclaimer, who out there would sue us? Okay, just to warn you again, this is Videl/Trunks. I don't know who'll read it, but I hope some people will. This is a big change to what I normally do, with the encouaragement of Klara, I was able to take the nervous leap. Although it wasn't as big as her conversion (hehe), I think it's a change to what I normally do. Thankyou Klara for your support. I hope this turns out well!
I irritatedly brushed my black bangs out of my eyes as I stared down at my mug, steaming with coffee. I watched it ripple everytime the cafe door was closed. I watched it as if it were the most interesting thing on Earth. I wasn't thirsty. I was nervous. Why? I don't know. I'd known him for almost all his life. But why he called me here to meet him, I don't know. Well…I did. But that was last night. A long time ago, for me anyway. At least I wished it was a long time ago. My head snapped up when the door slammed exceptionally loud.
There he was. His lavender hair was tied messily, he never bothered to cut until he absolutely had to nowadays. He was wearing a large, loose navy tank top which showed his muscles quite well. His pants were large, baggy and black. He couldn't have looked sexier. I shook my head violently, attempting to shake the thoughts out of my head. I couldn't think those thoughts. It was dangerous, especially if I could risk losing everything.
He smiled at me, one of those smiles only reserved for people he genuinely liked. Maybe even loved. But last night may have been accidental. It must have been accidental. I smiled weakly, my stomach was twisting and turning and I could feel the cold sweat accumilate on my forehead. He sat down casually, he didn't seem bothered or nervous at all. This just made me even more nervous.
"You came." He stated, he obviously was trying to hide his excitement and joy that I did show up.
"Why wouldn't I have?" I asked, throwing him another weak smile.
"Well…" He trailed off, but I knew what he was going to say.
"So…umm…why did you call me here?" I asked nervously, I brushed my bangs away again.
It was something I did whenever I was nervous.
"About last night…" Again he trailed off, maybe he was more nervous then he let on.
"Yes I know," I sighed, "it was all an accident and-"
"No." He cut in.
I was taken back by the serious look on his face. He couldn't be serious! I mean…last night. It had to be an accident. He has a girlfriend and I've practically known her all her life too! My brain couldn't process what he had just said. It was too good to be true, yet extremely dangerous. But I hadn't had this much adrenaline pumping into my veins for years. It was, as much as I hated to admit it, exciting.
"No. It was all intentional. I've been wanting to do that for years, and when it finally happened yesterday, I knew I had a chance. I knew that if we tried hard enough and defied what everyone else thought, we could and would make it." He said confidently.
I was speechless. One million thoughts were running through my mind per second. I opened and closed my mouth several times unsure what to say. I couldn't risk everything for him! I couldn't! The age gap, the families, his girlfriend! My family especially! Immediately my mind went, no! But my heart thought otherwise.
My breathing became irregular and my head pounded. Even though I knew I couldn't risk everything, the real question was, would I risk everything for him? For Trunks? Would it be worth it? What would the consequences be? I knew they were going to be bad.
"Please? Videl?" He said gently.
I felt like a goldfish, opening and closing my mouth, considering what to say and then changing my mind the last minute. But I still loved Gohan! For sure. Dearly. But it hadn't been the same lately…I knew and so did he. But we were willing to work on it. But I was willing to work on this too! I sighed frustratedly. He didn't seem to notice.
Somehow his hand had found mine and he was squeezing it gently and pleading with his eyes, pleading for me to say yes. I looked down, if I looked in his eyes I wouldn't be able to make the right decision. Well…the right decision was to say no, but still…I knew what I meant. I could feel his eyes on me. It felt like he had X-Ray vision and he was reading my mind.
I looked up and opened my mouth, before I could stop myself, the word rolled off my tongue and I knew I had done it.
"Yes."
Thank you for those of you that read it, please review, even if you didn't like it, but no flamers. Just constructive criticisms please. I know this chapter isn't that interesting, but hopefully it'll get more interesting. So now that Videl has agreed, how will this turn out? Who's Trunks' girlfriend? How will she take it? Etc…
