No funny business, sadly. V.V 100% romantic? I don't know, it's my first shot without humor.=D This is for you XxKiaStarXx!
The rain clattered against the window. Marron looked outside worriedly. How was she supposed to get home in this dangerous weather? She was in West City with her friends. There was no possible way to fly-she might struck by lightning!
"Well, I think it might be time to head home and hit the hay," Goten said as he folded his arms behind his head. Goten stretched and yawned. "It's getting pretty late, come on, Pan."
"Okay," Pan said. She wasn't going to hesitate, Pan was also tremendously tired. Her grandma wouldn't be pleased if she came back later than 10:00 pm. Pan and her uncle slipped out of the booth and headed for the doorway.
"Well, we best get going, Bulla," Trunks said as he exited from the booth. He slipped on his coat and motioned Bulla to get going as he buttoned up his jacket. Bulla yawned and followed her brother drowsily with Marron following behind.
Outside, Goten got into the capsule car with Pan and started the engine. The headlights flicked on and it was the only other light source there was besides the diner they just came from. Inside the car, Pan was shivering, but she managed a wave good bye. Goten smiled and backed up the car and started to head home.
Beside Trunks, Bulla shivered as well and clicked a capsule and threw it where Goten and Pan were just at. After the purple smoke subsided, Bulla ran from the cover of the overhang to the warmth of her car.
Turning around, Trunks noticed that Marron didn't have a ride home.
"How are you going to get home?" he asked with his hands in his pockets. A drop of water fell right onto his nose and he wiped it away.
"I don't know. I was supposed to fly, but. . ." Marron muttered. She looked at the ground. It was freezing and Bulla honked the horn.
"Here, I'll drive you home," Trunks said as he slipped out a capsule. He motioned for Bulla to go home and she gladly did. Bulla wasn't going to waste a second to go back to her warm, comfortable shelter. As Bulla drove off, Trunks' capsule exploded and an identical air car took its place. He slipped off his jacket and put it around Marron and they both made a run to the car. Trunks opened the passenger door for Marron and then jogged to the other side and got in himself.
"Thanks, Trunks," Marron said as she shivered from the cold. Quickly, Trunks flicked on the headlights and turned the heat on. Then, they took off towards Roshi's island.
They rode the rest of the way in silence. Trunks was really tired, but he managed to keep the air car straight. Marron's eyes were on the road, but it slowly moved towards Trunks' face. His blue eyes were so kind and gentle. Marron couldn't believe she hadn't realized this, but Trunks was cute.
Trunks took a curious glance at Marron and she quickly directed her head forward. She couldn't help but take some peeks at his delicate face. Minutes went by and Marron's eyes quickly began to close in the coziness of her friend's coat. Yes, friend's. Marron couldn't call him anything more. She knew he hasn't had a girlfriend yet and she knew he probably won't have one at all. Drowsily, her eyelids became heavier and heavier until she couldn't keep her eyes open any longer.
They arrived at the island and Trunks turned to look at Marron, but she was already fast asleep. The only other choice was to pick her up and bring her into the house, but he didn't want to. At least not yet. Nesting comfortably in his jacket, Marron slept soundly. She looked like an angel to Trunks. Of course, he had to get home, so he opened the door and exited the car. Quickly, he walked to the other side and removed Marron from the car. She groaned and shifted in Trunks' arms. He couldn't help, but blush.
Before the rain could irritate her, Trunks walked to the door and rang the doorbell with his foot. 18 opened the door angrily since it was 10:34. Her blue eyes opened widely.
"Is she dead?!" 18 shouted as she touched Marron's face. "Marron! Can you hear me?!"
"Shh. . . She's sleeping," Trunks whispered after 18 had calmed down. "She fell asleep."
"Oh," 18 muttered. "Bring her upstairs to her room, please." She stood aside so Trunks could do as she said. Trunks nodded and stepped inside the warm house. Slowly, Trunks elevated the steps. He didn't want to go too fast, otherwise Marron would wake up.
At one point, she stirred. Finally, he set her gently on her bed. He shifted and moved the covers so she'd be warm. Trunks smiled and stood there for a few moments, hesitant. He shook his head several times and walked back and forth. In the end he decided. He knelt down beside Marron and gently kissed her softly on the lips.
