Prologue ~

Marron sighed while covering her ears, trying hard to focus on the book of amendments in front of her. The 24-year-old had a big exam tomorrow, she was trying her best to study, but the loud music vibrating her apartment walls wasn't helping.

'Why does he always have to blast his music like that?' she thought angrily, 'this building was perfect until he moved in, maybe I should start looking for a new place.'

But unfortunately, Marron didn't have the money to move out into a different apartment building. After all, she just moved into her apartment two months ago. She wanted to be independent, and didn't want to follow her parents' unnecessary rules. She was a grown woman, she didn't need a curfew or a bedtime!

She had just begun to live her life peacefully, until he moved into the apartment next door. Marron wasn't one to go bang on someone's door and demand they turn down their music, she was a quiet girl that hated confrontation.

But at this moment, that quiet girl was very tempted to go tell her neighbor to keep it down. He had been blasting music like this for the past week and Marron just couldn't take it anymore.

'I wonder if anybody complained about it yet,' she thought as she got up. She was going to do it, she was going to tell him to turn it down. Marron chuckled to herself, 'kinda sounds like I'm some old lady telling a kid to stop making noise.'

Doesn't matter though, the girl had a huge exam tomorrow, she couldn't fail it, it would either make or break her grade. She needed to concentrate and nothing was going to keep her from studying any longer! As she walked towards her front door, she smiled down at her Siamese cat, Ruby. Who laid in her bed next to the front door, her paws trying to cover her tiny ears. Marron squatted next to her small companion and rubbed her head softly.

"I know," she sighed, "I don't like the loud noise either, don't worry Ruby, mama's gonna fix it."

Standing back up, she pushed her feet into a pair of flip flops and opened the door. As she walked out, she closed the door behind her, thinking about what to say to the man. She didn't even know his name!

Maybe she should introduce herself and ask politely to lower the music? This is the first time she would be speaking to him anyway, it was the right thing to do.

Marron shrugged, it was the only choice she had, she walked up the hall a couple of feet and stopped at his door. Her front door and his front door were close, but the apartment design's were different. These apartments were about average size, smaller than what she was used to back home, but it worked just fine for her. Marron hesitated, she was a little nervous, afraid she would offend the man.

She definitely didn't want to start off on the wrong foot with her neighbor. The blonde took a deep breath and banged on the door, since the music was so loud she figured he wouldn't hear if she simply knocked.

After a couple of minutes, she heard the music stop, and the door opened to revile a tall man with lavender hair. Marron's eyes widened slightly, why you ask?

The man only wore a towel around his waist.

Marron wasn't expecting to be face to face with an almost nude man. A hint of pink spread across her cheeks. She looked straight at his sea blue eyes, a small smile on her face. "Hello," she greeted, her voice was very warm and her tone very welcoming, "my name is Marron." She held out her hand and the man shook it.

"Trunks," he introduced, "may I help you?"

Marron noticed the hint of attitude in his voice and frowned slightly. She hoped she wasn't keeping him from something. "U-Um, listen, I'm sorry to bother you-"

"Look can you make this quick and spit it out?" he asked, slightly scowling, "I'm kinda busy right now."

She blinked in surprise, Trunks wasn't the polite type as she could see. Marron crossed her arms and sighed, this wasn't what she expected, she felt as if she were intruding, she probably was. "Well could you turn down your music please?" she asked, "I'm trying to study and-"

"Yeah sure," he said dully, "anything else?"

"Well no but thank-"

"Babe!" Marron heard from inside his apartment. Trunks turned his head and shouted back; "I'm coming give me a minute!" He turned back to Marron and shrugged. "That's it?"

"Yea-"

"Alright bye," he said, then shut the door in her face. Marron huffed, 'how rude!' she thought. But then again, it seemed like she interrupted something. She shrugged and turned back towards her apartment and walked to the door.

'At least he turned off the music,' she thought as she approached her door. She opened it and walked in, seeing her cat laying in her bed, sound asleep.

"Well at least you can rest now," she chuckled as she closed the door. Marron left her flip flops near the door and walked back into her room. Sitting on her bed and looking at her textbook once again. Now she had a chance at passing! She could finally concentrate! She could-

"Oh!"

Marron looked up from her book, what in the hell did she just hear? She shook her head; 'No, no, no, I'm not hearing that! I'm not hearing that right now!'

"Oh Trunks!"

Before Marron could even process another thought, she heard a loud bang against her wall, then another one, and another one. "Is that the freaking headboard?" she muttered in disbelief. The banging became more rapid.

Marron cringed as she heard more sounds. Quickly, she grabbed her book and walked out of her room, grabbing her purse off the kitchen counter and heading out the door.

'The library is a more quiet place to study anyway,' she thought, not wanting to hear or think about what was going on in the apartment next to her's. She prayed to Dende this type of behavior doesn't continue. Sadly for her, her prayers aren't answered.

AN: Hello everyone! So was inspired by a Tumblr post to make a little AU with Trunks and Marron as neighbors. You'll learn more about Trunks later on, I hope you all liked the prologue, I tried my best. Review and tell me what you think! It's greatly appreciated! Constructive criticism is welcome!
