Son Gohan was different to different people
To his mom , he was her little boy forever
To the Z fighters, he was an able fighter and a good friend
When he joined high school, he was a NERD to most of his fellow classmates
But who was he to himself??
To himself, he was a young guy heading to school everyday to make a better future who also was the same teen who saved the world from Cell, lost his father and later regained him back in uneven, most weird situation
He was a boy who wanted some normalcy in his childhood but all he got was some time of peace and rest performing his warrior duties
Did it affect him?
No, nothing did
To Gohan, he was a normal boy dragged in life and death situation innumerable times, trained by the Demon King and his dad , had seen so much in his 20 years of life, that no other person ever did in all their 7 births
quite exaggerating, but this was how his life was.
Yet he remained kind, humble and liked everyone for the way they were
He saw brightness still living in the world, where he could be breathless and cold in any moment
He has experienced love and affection from everyone.
But how was Videl any different, then?
Okay, so here as his views which goes from the time he met her till today
She was the first human in his life - a normal person that is.
By normal, he means the only one he had ever seen in his life that was strong and a fighter but who was not in their group as per say
She was his classmate and a young girl who fought crime and also went toe to toe with anyone who threatened the harmony of Satan city
He fought to save the world, that's what his dad and his almost extinct race chose for him
But she? She did it willingly by her choice to protect the people of her city
How often do you see police dependent on a young girl for their duties?
It amazed him that how everyone else seemed to be in their own world these days but the girl was very attentive and focused on helping the ignorant helpless people
She wasn't any super human like him. He could bet on his life that the way she was raised up she would never believe that super heroes existed even in dreams
Yet she chose to be a hero to her city
A human hero
First he thought that she fought only to incredibly glorify the name of Hercule Satan - the alleged world savior and credit stealer
But she turned out totally dissimilar to her father
She fought along side the police by choice and the desire to protect lives as much as she can
He considered her nosy when she tried to find out his alternate identities, who wouldn't.
He realized it a bit late that the only reason of her suspicious nature was that she didn't want backstabber disguised as hero to threaten her home town
As illogical it might have been to him, he knew that she had seen the Cell games
She has seen people in danger, lives innocent people stake
She blackmailed him once she confirmed him as Saiyaman
It could have been anything, but all that girl needed was to be able to learn to fly in exchange of keeping his alter ego a secret
She learned to fly quite quickly from Gohan
It was during that period that Gohan started to see her as a friend
it could have just a friend, had she not forced him to teach her properly which counted training with him for 10 days in total
Much like his brother, he saw her as an unwanted nuisance hindering their WMAT training in the first couple of days she came over
But later he got used to her being around, he considered as an friend,who untitled as a friend yet.
Even Goten developed a friendly bond with her which was later disclosed when Goten told him that Majin Buu ate their families after turning them into chocolates
He had seen the lively Goten go all sad when he told him about this , specifically highlighting her
Must have been too much for the kid who had no friends except Trunks.
He himself had accepted her as his girlfriend without actually confirming that with her. * blush, blush *
But he knew he had immediately recognized her as his when he couldn't accept the tyrant Spopovich destroying her
He lost himself completely there.
Still she smiled when he gave her the Senzu bean
She became so much more to him.
She was not his mother, or God mother or his sister yet she brought out some affection from him which she changed it to love
He wonders how she did that.
But she became so important to him later on , since the Buu fiasco
No, she didn't show any signs of being attracted to him in public, yet she hugged him when alone
Her care and concern were always there, static and firm
It took time to get him adjusted to their unusual relationship.
But hey , if he was awkward, she wasn't any good either
or he guessed it was his introverted nature which caused her to be normal , indifferent even when his feelings for her were crystal clear and vice versa.
One day he couldn't take it anymore, he got out of his character hugged her when she met him after the longest vacation of his life
any vacation was long if she didn't meet him once in a week
why the hell did she go on a personal break as well ? wasn't summer vacation enough??
That's when he started expressing himself to her .
Beginning of their last year of highschool -
Shared his first kiss, his bottled up feelings, experience from his past and everything that he felt should be shared exclusively with her
He considered their relationship as to moving in a direction onlt after when he started to share
He was a fool previously, who didn't open up to her
He shared the unshared parts of his existence with her.
That's how she became his wife.
his officially owned her
She hasn't changed a bit, except that she isn't able to fight as much as she used to
But the fire in her personality hadn't died down
Simply, he loved her
No hard and fast reason, no vocal display of emotions, no freaking idea what life will be ahead
but she's with him now, never to leave him along.
To kiss him when he needed without voicing.
She was such a light torched on his soul
A lovely human and his mate
I apologize to the readers if they don't find it good
I just lost my original plan
