Love at Last – Chapter 1
I never knew that I would fall for Trunks Brief but I did and at that time I didn't know what I was getting myself into.
Before anything like that ever happened I've never had a boyfriend. A part of my heart yearned for love but I just couldn't find a guy who actually interested me. I was too picky. There was this one guy though but he wasn't an option. He was slightly older than me but we had always been friends. We got on so well and practically grew up together. His name was Trunks. Our families were close friends with my granddad and his mum been childhood friends. I kind of convinced myself ages ago that nothing would ever happen between us.
But when I turned 17...all that changed.
I was working home from school one Friday afternoon and decided to take the short cut through the park. I went to my usual place and started to cry.
As the tears fell down my face I felt someone behind me. Not just anyone but HIM. Now don't ask me how I knew but I did and it's got nothing to do with being able to sense his ki.
"Hey Trunks" I said turning around.
He came out from hiding and looked me straight in the eye.
"Why are you crying Pan?" he asked in a concerned voice.
"I'm not crying." I murmured with a blush. I had actually forgotten about the tears and quickly wiped them.
"Oh yes you are, don't lie to me" he answered.
"I'm not and how did you find me here. I was hidden properly behind these bushes" I demanded changing the subject.
"Don't try to change the subject Pan! I know something's wrong so tell me or I'll tell Gohan" he said ignoring her question.
"Well I was just upset because I don't have a boyfriend and..." she blushed and went quiet.
"Pan, you're a great person and I know one day you will find the One" He said seriously.
"Now come on I'll drop you off home!" he called back as he started to walk off.
I followed him to his car, which was parked outside the park. We got in to the car and drove in silence in the direction of my house.
Fifteen minutes later we reached our destination but I didn't make any move to get out of the car. I looked at him.
"Thank you Trunks" I said and he flashed me a grin before leaning over to give me a kiss on my cheek.
"You're welcome" he replied. I got out of the car then and hurried towards the house but when I reached the front door I risked a look back. He was still there.
"See you later" He called and drove off. I waved back at him and went inside.
"Hey mum...I'm home" she called.
"In here sweetie, I'm just making some chocolate chip cookies" Videl called from the kitchen. I headed towards the kitchen and grabbed a few cookies from the plate before shoving one into my mouth.
"How was school today?" she asked.
"It was as boring as usual" I replied rolling my eyes.
"I know school can be boring sometimes but you have to keep up your grades" she said.
"I know mum. Anyways I'm going to have a shower and get changed. I'll see you in a bit" I said before hurrying out of the kitchen and in the direction of my room. I opened the door and closed it shut behind me before throwing myself onto my bed. I felt a warm feeling inside me.
"Why am I feeling this strange feeling inside of me? Could it be love? Am I in love with Trunks?" I asked myself. Getting off the bed I grabbed a towel and headed towards the bathroom.
30 minutes later I was all set and ready. I was wearing a long sleeved top, with jeans and some flat shoes. I ran back downstairs heading for the front door. I had a plan.
"Mum I'm heading for Bra's house ok?" I called out.
"Ok...see you later Pan" Videl called back but I was already outside, flying off into the sky
'What am I doing? I can't just go over to his house right now' I thought to myself as I sped past the countryside, heading towards the city.
'Of course I can...I'll just say that I'm here to meet Bra' I decided. After another 10 minutes I arrived at Trunks house and landed by the front door, moving forward to press the buzzer.
"Who is it?" called an angry voice from the other side of the door.
"It's me Vegeta...Pan" I shouted back. The door opened a few seconds later.
"Get inside woman" he mumbled to me. I walked past him and headed upstairs to Bra's room. On my way up I met Bulma.
"Hey Pan...haven't seen you here for a while" she said cheerfully.
"Sorry Bulma, I've been busy with exams" I answered.
"That's ok...Anyways got to run. I'll see you later" she said walking away. I carried on walking until I got to Bra's room before knocking.
"Who is it?" called Bra.
"It's me...Pan" I called back.
"Come in" she called. I opened the door and walked inside.
"Hey Pan" she said with a smile.
"Hey" I replied with a grin before joining her on the floor, where she sat.
"So what're you doing?" I asked.
"Nothing really. I was just sat here thinking" she replied.
"Thinking about what?" I asked curiously.
"Nothing special... I've only just discovered a big secret of my brother's and I was just wondering about it" she replied with an evil smirk.
"OMG really? Tell me" I demanded
"Calm down girl" she replied cheekily.
"Okay sorry...tell me now please" I asked more calmly. She started to laugh, much to my annoyance. Then after seeing the look on my face she stopped.
"Okay I'll tell you but only on one condition" she said in a serious tone.
"Bra..." I moaned.
"Okay I was only joking" she replied rolling her eyes. I waited impatiently for her to tell me and when she did I received the biggest shock of my life.
"I just found out the Trunks fancies you" she said. My eyes opened wide in disbelief.
"What? How would you know something like that?" I demanded.
"Well...I kind of went into his room when he was out and saw his journal lying on the floor under his bed. I couldn't resist taking a peek and looked through it" she replied easily.
"Bra...how could you?" I scolded her.
"Easily...I just picked it up and opened it. Then I came across one page where I saw this cute little heart with arrows with his name and yours in it" she told me before cracking up.
"I swear I'm not going to let him get away from this one. Here see for yourself if you don't believe me" she said pulling out a small blue book from under her pillow. She opened it and showed me. I nearly went into shock again when I saw it. She was telling the truth.
"Wow I can't believe it" I said finally. A smile started to appear on my face and Bra noticed straight away.
"Oh no...Don't tell me you fancy him too" she said with an incredulous look on her face.
"No I don't" I said a bit too quickly.
"Why are you lying to me Pan? You're gone red in the face" she replied with a smirk.
"I don't know what you're talking about" I said.
"Liar" she teased.
"Okay...I do fancy him" I said eventually, seeing that there was no point in denying it.
"I knew it" Bra said with a smile.
"I better get going now Bra. I told mum I'll be home soon" said Pan quickly.
"Okay take care. I'll see you later" she replied.
"You too Bra" I said before leaving the room. I was lost in thought as I made my way downstairs so didn't see the person approaching, until it was too late. We bumped into each other and I found myself falling back, until I felt arms grab me.
"Sorry" said a voice I recognized straight away.
"Trunks" I said in surprise.
"Well if it isn't Pan" he replied with a grin pulling me up, before letting go.
"TRUNKS FANCIES PAN...TRUNKS FANCIES PAN!" yelled a voice from upstairs. I looked back in the direction I had just come from before turning back to face Trunks, who was blushing.
"What the hell! Just ignore her Pan...she's being stupid like always" he said quickly. I started to laugh right then.
"No need to make excuses Trunks. I know you like me...I like you too" I told him bravely. He looked astonished. I didn't blame him. Anyone in his shoes would have been. He went quiet, not knowing what to say.
"You're right Pan...I do like you" he admitted finally. The smile appeared on my face and in my joy I couldn't stop from throwing myself at him. He didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around me. We held each other for what seemed like ages but in reality it couldn't have been longer than five minutes.
I pulled away only to look up at him. His eyes met mine and held. I don't know when it happened but it did. Our lips locked in a kiss and I literally melted in the spot. We pulled apart after a good few minutes.
"Wow" he whispered looking into my eyes. I just stared dumbly back at him, loss for words.
"Hey...break it up you love birds" cried Bra making us jump. I felt my face going red, in embarrassment.
"Oh so I was right then?" said Bra with a smirk. I couldn't take it any longer and grabbed Trunks, teleporting us out of there.
"Hey how did we get here?" cried Trunks when we appeared in the park.
"Instant Translocation!" I explained.
"Wow! I didn't know Goku taught you that" he said in surprise.
"I only just mastered the technique" I told him with a grin. Silence followed as both of us struggled to think of what to say next.
"So Pan...do you really like me then?" Trunks asked breaking the silence. I blushed and looked away.
"Of course I do" I replied making myself look at him. That's all he needed to hear before his lips touched mine. I was a bit surprised but found myself kissing him back. The kiss deepened eventually and after a while we pulled apart, out of breath. I was looking all flushed and happy and so was he.
"I never would have thought this was possible" I told him.
"I started to like you a long time back but I thought that you didn't like me and I was scared that we wouldn't be friends any more if I told you how I felt" he said stroking my hair.
"You should have told me Trunks but I can understand why you didn't. Oh well we're together now so you could say better late than never" she replied with a smile.
"You're right so should we tell the others?" asked Trunks.
"I think that we should keep it a secret for now" I said with a grin.
"Okay but we better arrange to meet up on the sly" he said kissing my forehead.
"I know...we will" I replied leaning against his chest. He automatically wrapped his arms around me.
"I better go and tell Bra to keep our relationship a secret before she goes round blabbering about it" I told him.
"You're right. So what time shall we meet up later?" he asked.
"You can meet me outside my bedroom window tonight at midnight" I replied.
"That's great. We better head back then" he said with a grin, before taking to the sky with me right behind him.
A few minutes later we reached Capsule Corporation. Trunks opened the front door for us and we went inside. Trunks walked towards the kitchen and I followed him, where Bra and Bulma sat drinking tea. Bra looked up as I came in and smirked with a knowing expression.
"What have you been up to?" she asked me in a meaningful tone.
"What are you talking about?" I responded innocently and quickly dragged her out of the kitchen, to a quiet corner.
After getting Bra to promise that she wouldn't say anything, I relaxed. Trunks was still in the kitchen and raised an eyebrow in question, when I walked back inside. I nodded and he relaxed. Bra had gone to her room to make a phone call and Bulma had gone back to her office so that left us two alone. Trunks pulled me against him before crushing his lips on mine. It was only when we heard someone cough that we jumped apart guiltily. We looked towards the kitchen entrance quickly to see who it was. It was Vegeta...
