happy new years :) jeez im starving right , about to thank god for another year.
ps any suggestions on some good Bra/ Goten fics lol
Monday morning
Pan watched nervously as Bra dressed.
Her interview with Bulma Briefs was today ,her stomach was queasy as she thought of sitting across the women she hadn't seen in years.
Pan bit her lip. "Your dad just had to snatch you today ?"
Bra paused in her getting ready. "I have to travel far to see my father Pan , you know if it was anyone else I would ditch them and go with you "
She didn't remember much of Bras father , just that he use to call grandpa a weird name and him his self had a weird name.
"Does your mom knows it's me ?"
Bra shrugged " I don't know i didn't even think to tell her ha ha I think it's better this way since you aren't to fond of your parents and knowing mom she'll call them "
Pan nodded and stood up as Bra wrapped her scarf around her neck and turn to me.
She smiled and hugged me.
"We could always run away together Pan , ... You and me "
Pan lowered her head and blushed.
Bra said her farewells and left.
Bra always said things like that. Things like running away together.
If only she really meant it. I would. I looked at my clothes on my bed.
I deiced on a long navy blue skirt with a button tight at my bust , a plain grey cotton shirt and the deep blue blazer. My hair was a wavy mess , a French braid would do with my bangs on my forehead.
I looked at myself in the mirror. Did as I grew queasy again , i stood their and let the minutes pass by as my classes start. I won't go today. My interview had me worked up.
I grabbed my suit case like purse with my resume and Identification In there and walk out the door.
The subway ride was relaxing , but it would be better if I was passenger in Bras jeep.
I took a deep breath. Calm down Pan it's just an interview.
As the train stopped I got off and skipped down the street and looked ahead to see buildings all around as the people rushed, at the end of the street was a tall sky scraper shining with lights. As Bra face was plastered on the megatron.
Bras mom wanted her to be the brand of CC , but Bra was rebelling and in all honesty , Bulma seem to be wining that Battle. Pan frown Bra hadn't told her she had a photo shoot.
Pan walked towards the building under the grey sky.
She walked in to see and receptionist.
The women smiled brightly. "Hello Welcome to Capsule Corp " she beamed.
"Hi umm ... 3:45 interview wit-" before Pan could continue she went to clicking away.
"Pan Son ?"
Pan nodded
"Right Ms Breifs called ,you can take the elevator to level 30"
Pan eyes blinked. "Oh ... Okay ... I'm is there a suite number ?"
The lady laughed "no sweetie the whole floor is Briefs exclusive "
She nodded and confusingly floated to the elevator and pressed 30. As the other riders looked at her.
She watched the ground get further and further away as the elevator got empty.
Her pulse thicken as she mentally prepared , just remember to smile.
Ding.
She got off the elevator and walked in the room to see wide desk a women and clear light all around. She walked forward as the elevator closer and left.
There was a water fall on both sides of the entrance creating a water wall.
She walked forward to the women.
"Umm hello "
"Hi " the women perked
"I'm hear for 3:45 "
"Name ?"
"Pan son "
Pan looked at the clock on the wall 3:20
"Okay ma'am just have a seat and I'll let you know when he's ready "
Pan watched the lady turn back to her computer.
He ? Pan thought did she say he ?...
She shrugged and sat at the leather bench and pulled out her resume and going over questions in her head. She flipped through papers too keep herself busy.
She blinked at the outside window , as she toned out to the waterfall and sectary typing.
" "
Pan jumped frighten and stood up collecting her things shoving them in her suit case standing up. "Yes umm yes ?"
The sectary smiled " will see you now "
The lady was now holding open a door for Pan , she got up a messy grabbing her papers and suit case her slightly over grown bangs in her eyes... wait what. She tumbled through the doors into an huge office. with a flush face , breathing unsure.
she clumsy fell in as the sectary closed the door.
her bangs rested on her fore head as she saw the clear grey sky burning allover making her woozy she couldn't feel her legs she stumbled side ways.
instead of hitting the ground she lands firmly in two soft arms
i turned my head to see blue , neon radiant blue big blue eyes. so beautiful almost enough of a distraction to take m y breath away , but it was the odd lilac shoulder length hair poking in my eye.
i could feel the blood rush to my cheeks. i guess he was a briefs , but i didn't know who ?
he sat me up as my head spun at the sudden movement.
"Are you alright Ms..."
"Pan "
he snorted a little. i looked up through my bangs to see his smile, but disappointment came the humor was gone his eyes held an intensity to , blue orbs squinted so comfortable above his cheek bones.
he tended his hand."well"
i couldn't move my hand , i was fully looking at him in his clean charcoal suit. He was a man a real big Man , my back arched a little absent minded as i lowered my head and looked away bringing my hands to his.
"your defiantly not Bra" he said in a tone
i awkwardly shook his hand as my face shot up."not Bra?"
"i was inform she would be here" he dropped her hand..."i wasn't expecting you "
oh crap thanks Bra... i wasn't expecting him either , my mind went Blank all i could do was say my last name."its Son"
his eyes twitched a bit."Son ? i suppose is your first name"
she blushed and shook her head in a breath."its oh no its Pan last name Son , sometimes people pounce it with my last name first i " she paused noticing she was babbling and softly finished. " Son Pan i know its weird.." she literally had to bite her lip to shut up.
he smiled gently at her.
"well i believe we should sit , Im completely unprepared for an interview with you ," he said poking his lips a bit.
the shade of glowing baby pink on his slight full lips made her forget how cold the room was.
he smiled slightly... he gesture her for a seat. she sat as he went around his clean metal desk and sat looking at her. he chuckled at bit. and to her it sounded like wind chimes on a breezy spring sunset.
she blushed and squeezed her bag making the leather squeak.
he sat back and looked knowingly at her." Son ... Ive heard that name"
shit she didn't need him connecting the dots , she avoided her parents at all cost and if he knew her parents she was sure he would call them. Its not that she didn't miss them or care , she just couldn't go back to such a desert place.
"its a common family name"
he did a slight nod."i suppose it is "
she mentally had a breath of relief.
he stared at her as an moment of awkward dawned on them she dugged her hands deeper in her leather bag as she waited for him to start with the questions.
he sighed and sat up in his suit flexing on what seem to be a wonderful body , jeez."as i said im completely un prepared for this interview so I'm just going to pitch some questions "
she laughed bitterly what the hell am I'm doing here ? in this office in his office , he wasn't even expecting me.
he blinked confused."did i say something amusing ?"
she blushed and stopped laughing on the spot. then oh fuck it she giggled and lowered her head bringing her hands lazily to her bangs and crown. her nervous was showering her body and she needed a moment of insanity , because this was insane , here she was with an uncomfortably handsome man trying to act normal but in reality she was thirsting for a job , but to stare at those blue eyes and lavender hair made her thirst in a different way... she peeked back up at him to throw him a playful smile , but his face alarmed her his lips were slightly parted as he stared.
"what what perfume is is that , I never smelled none like it "
she threw on a confused look."perfume ?"
he composed himself with a cough and leaned back in his chair tapping his foot in the grey carpet.
the lightest blood rushed to his cheek bones as he had to put a hand over his mouth sneaky an index finger to his nostrils.
im sure my face had a look of horror , and the tomboy buried deep in me wanted to sniff under each armpit right on the spot. I lowered my head as my face turned into a tomato."im not wearing any" she whispered
oh god this is this is too much. my life sucks , she looked at the door, i should run. No no Pan don't , it's not over yet you still got a chance. Her angle on her shoulder yelled in her ear as enough prep to make her sit through this embarrassing interview tosave her the embarssment of never living down how she ran out of an interview like baby.
she gather the courage to look in his eyes and take a deep breath. and he was a complete business man now and looked script in away.
"I'm Sorry I can't hire you , I apologize , this summer We do an internship for star college students i suppose your in college ?"
she lowered her head disappointment hitting her face , so what big deal , she was to clumsy for such a job , anyway , but deep inside she felt completely like shit. she had to at least make it to the elevator before she broke.
she moved her dry lips that wanted to tremble into tears , but she couldn't."west city"
he nodded. "really with Bra ?... whats your major"
"pharmacy " she looked up at him confused a bit.
he moved his head and lavender locks blocked parts of his left eye."are you currently employed ?"
she blinked , why would he bring up a job when he just completely told her she didn't get the job.
he must of notice my resentment and coolly took the tension away."the internship it would require all your dedication and time so you would've have the freedoms of other jobs "
she frown." sorry , but internship is basically labor for free , and I don't work for free " she snapped then paused when she saw his excited face for just a second she blushed as he relaxed but still amused.
im stupid."sorry i would have to decline"
he nodded.
her eyes traveled to his curiously."how are you related to Bra ?... are you her father ?" she had to ask , if Bra blow her off that would suck.
laughter rang in my ear he was laughing hard.
i blushed and Panic."what ?"
he shook his head composing himself.
"Im her brother , im sorry if i didn't introduce myself Trunks , i suppose sense I didn't know about you knowing Bra you didn't know about me."
she blinked once she blinked twice."her brother ?"... The idea played with Pans mind , but Bra said her and her brother wasn't close.
he nodded.
" You have an 5 o clock "
Pan turn to the attractive blonde and blushed as she turn to Trunks he was brushing his chin in deep thought.
He also stood.
the blonde left and soon did I could her his footsteps behind me i swallowed my nervous , i don't know why i didn't trust him behind me.
I go to the elevator and press lobby we awkwardly stand there as we wait for the elevator why why did it have to be the top floor.
"well ...it was a pleasure "
the dread of not getting the job weight down on her. she shook his hand.
"I'm sure it was"
he smirked ,she frown , what a cold Man , how can he smile so handsomely to someone he just denied a job.
she lowered her eyes ,looking at his face.
ding
she back away and lowered her eyes almost shut with out once turning around, she finally relaxed even though she was still sure he was looking at her she slowly rose her eyes as the speed of the elevator doors almost beat her , she caught an blue intimating hostile eye just before it shut.
she gasp as gravity pulled her down back to earth back to her reality with the rest of the scums who only been in such a an floor of such a buliding once or twice. the clear windows fell from the pale blue light and split in an horizon of grey black clouds. it was rainning no quite yet but it was soon to come.
she got off the elevator heart still beating from the effect of his eye. she dizzy and stumbled out the elevator and out the building. she got on the side walk as downtowners rushed into whatever taxi or buliding to hide before the rain fell. she took a deep breath looking at the concert sidewalk still trapped in a cloud she must of grap out of the sky surrounding and massaging against his office.
then something caught her a eye an green flicker she looked up as wet drizzle feathered her face a green light was rotating from the top of the corporation of capsule , the green light reflected through the clouds making her jumped out of it and run before the water came down heavier she ran to the subway and got on just before the doors closed.
she sat on a plastic bench as the train zoomed through a dark tunnel , it was raining and so was she.
she slightly bit her lip as she looked at her sweaty hands.
...
once she got home reality hit her hard as she got soak from the skies angry tears. she opened her door to see Miss Breifs herself sitting in her bed.
"Bra !"
her eyes travled up to Pans and she smiled. "how did it go?"
"How did it go how did it Go !?"
Bra face when in to horror "my moms such a bitch ,she didnt hire you?"
Pan bit her lip , maybe Bra didnt know.
"it it wasnt your mom "
Bra put on a look of confusion. "wh what ?"
Pan eyes met her blue ones ,almost the same as the one from earlier almost.
"It was your brother "
Bra eyes widen in shock then curious with caution " she stood up grabbed Pans arms forcefully and they flopped on the beds side.
"Hey !"
Bra took a deep breath her eyes darting from side too side slightly panic.
"What was he like ?" Bra eyes sunk , she really wanted to know the answer.
Pan study her face."would'nt you know already "
Bra shook her head in a breath."no , we are not close ... in fact strangers almost he doesn't live at home with mom "
Pan eyes widen a bit , it wasn't just her , struck an affective cord on everyone even his sister.
her heart doomed. what did it mean to be a Briefs.
"what was he like ?" Bra asked again wanting to know more about her strange Brother.
"polite "
her head swirled back to his eyes and his adams apple behind his suit and tie.
"he ... was ... Intimidating "
Bra eyes sunk with a bit of understanding.
"really"... she couldn't think of the word. "un readable "...
she thought of his body bursting in his black suit. "Intense"
Bra chuckled. Pan completely discrib her father , yes thats what Trunks was like her dad.
Pan blushed and looked at Bra.
"he was , if im correct bothered slighly You didn't come "
Bra looked up at Pan and shook her head. "your not the only one who doesn't go back ,"
this shut Pan up.
Knock Knock.
Bra got up to open the door too see non other than Uub.
Uub came in with a bottle of champagne wrapped in ribbons.
his eys shot pass Bra and landed sraight in mines. his cheeks started to spread as his smile came. "congratulations Pan!"
Bra put her hands on her hips and shook her head as i smiled slightly at my silly friend.
"is that the Pans got a great Job working for a bug comapny chamange ?" Bra ask ed laughing at Uubs attempts to woo Pan.
He smiled and nodded "yea-"
i opened my mouth slightlyb "i didn't get the Job Uub "
his eys widen in completely shock as red hit his cheeks and Bra laughs filled the room as i chuckled loosing my buzz kill of not getting the job i knew it from the start anyways.
Uub laughed nervously than recovered.
"well this fuck those loser who could past on such an amazing Girl "
I blushed as Bra snatched the bottle from Uubs hands.
we laid with our backs on the floor as our legs where vertically up against my bed as it rain outside.
i turned my head in the carpet slightly pulling my hair it hurt as i stared at Bra. me and Bra were alike that way it was a small way , but going back home was completely out of the question for both of us...
we were free young birds childish and curious from protective ways over our family and naive ... naive to the worlds , from the worlds we came from and the worlds we were going.
i smile and laughed as i turn back to look at the ceiling. I was most comfortable here than than I was hours earlier sitting across from a different Briefs.
we laughed and got tipsy after a while Uub left and i fell asleep in my bed as Bra snored softly.
...
khaki apron khaki pants white shirt and brown shoes. that's my work uniform.
but i spike it up because because as i before My best friends turn me out , into a fashion fanatic.
so i wear khaki skinny jeans
a mesh whit blouse
pearl studs with a slightly high ponytail barley and hair escaped , Bra would be so proud.
and brown cute flats.
that way I can pretend i work at scent job instead of this sleazy drug store on 9th and 5th ,its not quite middle downtown like CC , but its not the outskirts like school either and you could barley call it the outskirts its its really more like the hem of downtown west city just before the freeway.
seriously sometimes i wished i had support like Bra and when i say support I mean money , sometimes i think of finding my Grandpa , the undead one , i never met him , but his loaded , Im his only grandchild he should spoil me right ?... wrong ... im the curse that swollen his daughter womb , im the reason my mom is not speaking to him. well me and my dad. My dad must of been some what tolerable , but i guess grandpa cut the last straw when i came about.
jeez why why on earth do I have such a sucky Job... I'm a technician not a server vent , Pan clean this Pan clean that Pan a baby pooped on isle four Pan are you stealing Drugs. Ugh !...
i sighed as i look at the poorly display of this new children mouth wash i just did it sucks.
"Pan come to the front "
i gasp oh no no my shift is almost over hide !...
of coarse i find myself in the cheap clothes isle.
i see lame socks and over price cheap watches , pj pants and and a charcoal tie.
my face heats up as i look at the tie.
lump in his throats move as he calms talked irritating the skin tightly rubbing against the shirt and tie.
i take a deep breath.
i can't get over it.
that job interview. Ugh i wonder what i would wear if i work for the Breifs everyday , then i was sure i would bitch about clothes nothing in my closest would be acceptable.
i felt something being born in my womb jumping agasint my bones trying to get off as i think of his shoulders damn that suit. i rest my head agaisnt the shelf as i take a deep breath.
whats wrong with me. what do i want ?. ice cream maybe?. no a good taco ... no way my grandmas cooking yes I want a full corse i want to be full.
i raise my eyes pathtically and a little stress. what did I want?
Blue eyes intently looking at me.
I gasp as my mouth drop.
Tr Trunks Briefs was here here at my job looking at me.
my heart must of failed down to my toes
damn Pan get your shit together.
he is walking closer shit i breathed hiding my panic as my eyes averted , but i know he is coming.
i looked hiding my fright i may of even scowled.
"Ms Son what a surprise "
he wore an sweat burgundy sweater dark jeans in a cross between straight leg and skinny , and some chill athletic black shoes. he had his hair in a small pony tail with strans hanging out
i poured over with myself. willing everything in myself to power down. why why is my ki so stubborn.
i think I heard the smallest gasp. I looked away embarrassed please please don't ask about it , i know hes ... saiyan.
"Mr Mr Breifs" i get out in an awkward breath
and he back in it his intense silent nature.
and he smiles to himself.
i blinked worriedly , I'm not sure if i like that smile , but it looks great with on his fully flesh lips.
his small smile turn into a one cheek smirk exposing white perfect teeth."i was in the area"..."i needed somethings"
his lips tun into an upside down pout as his eyes had a tint of innocent and a a tint of intent. his eyes lowered just a bit scanning my face. "yes it is a plearsure to see you again " he says so sure of himself.
my heart is an alarm clock. this was not okay , him behind the desk in an exspensive suit surrouded by clouds all vanished , he was down here with her at her job.
my mouths a jar as I look down then back at him" Pan is fine "..." my Name "... "Pan"
"what can i help you with ?"
he smiles amused yet intimating my eyes widen as I panic , did i do something silly is there food in my teeth... oh god
I couldn't fully smiled because i was cautious of my teeth so i kind of bit a professional smile and looked encourage too help him find his item.
i looked away staring to mentally guess the isle he would probably need , pain medication or protein bars i pull back the damned strand of hair that escaped my almost perfect pony and tucked it behind my ear. Fiber yogurt ?.
"i need a few items um first ..." there was a small very small pause ' cable ties"
my eyes jumped to his blankly as i paused my hand on the tip of my ear. i looked at him his blue eyes amused his voice cool.
cable ties?
then my brain flood with every thing i know about cable ties at this damn store
" we have various brands would you like me to show you " my hand awkwardly sprang out as if it was "the way " im so lame he frowned at my hand.
"that'll be fine" he mumbled
I walked closer to so i could be by his side not to close to him but enough so i can sightly navigate him with out having to be ahead of him.
we are walked in silence and my heart beats so loudly as i think of something to say anything. jeez this stores little and a piece of crap isle 7 is just a few seconds away.
why is he here in the city , i mean i know he works here , but Bra made him seem private and a home body.
"what are you doing in the city ?"
"i work in the city "
i blushed of coarse i knew it.
my embarrassment turn into slight anger. "did you find a sectary ?" i frown
he laughs a bit
"something like that " stop in front of black cords on a sliver wall.
he study a few as my eyes traveled to a cord and in an instance he grabbed the one i looked at , i gasp a bit..
"these will due "
"anything else ?"
"yes " he said shortly with a pause.
"masking tape"
"are you decorating ?" i asked wide eyes an honest.
his eyes fill with humor , but his face was calm.
why why is he laughing.
"no im not"
i fell completely self conscious as a frown one brow slightly its a defense mechanism.
"right this way" i kind of spat
"how long you work here ?"
"too long " i sighed as i pointed at the tape and grabbed a medium one , he took it
and for a second as our skin touches , im shocked literally , it was as if all the atoms and protons of my body gravitated to my hand to feel his. and once pulled away so did the particles rushing to my heart ears and cheeks.
"um anything else " it comes out awkward , but im to dizzy from looking up at his sharp face.
"yeah" he breathed a bit heavy.
"rope"
we walked further down as my heart gets nervous and palms sweaty.
we stopped.
"we have yarn , hay , polyester Nylon bubba plasma natural filament "
his features darken a bit as if he was questioning himself." natural filament and ill take the longest plasma you have "
i grabbed the longest we had 9 yards. i look at him and the two different ropes.
"i believe the plasma would be the strongest , but the natural filament is standard "
he smirked. "your an expert on robes?"
she gave him a looked slight frown slight annoyed. " ropes aren't my thing "
he lower his chin a bit "what is your thing Pan"
"what is your thing"
the way he said it so slow and honest.
i shrugged."i don't have one , but shopping thanks to Bra"
his eye grew dull.
jeez hes bored.
"um um anything else ?"
"umm .. no not that i can think of " he walks closer i walked backwards from him." any recommendations ?"
"well are you doing it your self you know DIY"
leaned forward in a smile
i blushed as he nodded
"sure "
i looked at that burgundy sweater. "overalls "
"huh?"
i pointed to his sweater , i would die to wear and smell his scent. my eyes look at his jeans " your closed could ruin"
" i can always take them off "
my eyes slight frighten that those words came out his mouth and slight alarmed looked in to his blue ones he was amused again as i blushed.
"ill take a pair "
we walked further and gave him blue jeans in a tall.
"hows the job hunting ?"
she frown "you see im here after four years still , it sucks thank to you " oh my god whats wrong with my mouth , damn my feelings are still hurt i wanted that 17 dollar an hour so badly.
he laughed. " hows Bra"
i sighed. "pissed "
he laughed "why "
"she had do an assignment on someone who change history and of course the Teacher gave her and capsule corp its due tomorrow . "
he smiled sadly.
pan eyes soften , what was the strain in the Briefs family they are all so distanced. " shes proablay going to end up bashing the company"
"maybe i can help her finish it "
my eyes widen. "what ?"
"I can help her with her assignment "
my eyes widen he'll do that for Bra , i smiled thoughful while looking down the up , too see confusion on his face.
he pulled out his wallet and opened handing me a crisp card.
"that's my business card it has all my contact information let me know if shes still having trouble"..."call before 12 pm
i beamed , yes ill fix the relationship between Bra and her fine fine Brother. "okay !" i peeped
"Pan ! you have a vistor " my whole body jump as the stores over head screeched
and there he was Uub again with burgers he smiled brightly and picked me up hugging me so tight i couldn't hug back i smiled "hey "
"hi " i looked back at Trunks briefs and its like he was wearing his suit in the clouds again.
intimating to say the least , I know Uub felt i looked at the floor as introduce them
"Uub Tr.. Trunks Briefs , Uub "
they shook hands Uub unsure affirmative routine and in control dropping Uubs Hands on his time.
" "
"Trunks Briefs ... Bras brother ?" Uub gasp.
Trunks shoulders tighten just a bit.
why is he so tense ?
nodded.
Uub pretend not to be bored and turn to me. "aren't you about to be off ?"
before i can answer. my boss comes storming.
"Pan stoop chatting you see that man with all those items ring him up !"
i mentally curse him out as tenses more.
"and you need to stay to night Courtney won't be in tonight "
my jaw dropped as i turn to Uub.
he sighed . "bummer " and handed me a bag.
"well looks liked ill head home see you later Pan " his eyes traveled over to Mr,Briefs "Trunks"
did a business nod. "i must get going i have a late meeting tonight" he directed to me
i mentally blasted my boss as i ring up while walking behind the counter.
i looked up to tell him his total. but hes smiling once more."65.09"
he smoothly handed me a 100 dollar bill.
I bagged everything for him. "doubled knot ?"
"it looks like you'll have to " amusement hit his voice
i swallowed and open the register to give him back his change and bag.
"would you like a receipt "
"please Pan " he said lowly
my spine shivered
as i printed it out and gave it to him.
"call me if Bras having trouble " he slowly back away one hand in his pocket other holding the back.
i nodded in silence.
"oh an Pan"
i looked up to catch his eyes and smile. "I'm glad Bra couldn't make it to the interview "
and he was gone
leaving me with a rapid heart.
i took a deep breath
what
did that mean.
i like him
i knew it since i first saw him and my throat fell in my heart sliding it down my esophagus as they digested in my stomach , he was that handsome.
jeez i want to see him , Bra will be pissed , but hey its a brother and sister reconnection and i can greedily look at him again for the last time.
...
for my break i sat at on two crates one holding my upper body and the other my legs , i was out back leaning my phone ear and head against the wall dialing Bra , i asked her to pick me , i didn't want to ride the subway not today.
when my shift ended , there was my friend waiting for me i Got in the car as we made our ways from the streets. it was night and the free way and buildings lite up. Bra let down the window as our hair stringed and blow over our faces. we talked for a while the silence
there was an arrange of high ways inter crossing on top of each other and one shooting in the middle of it wrapped an complete 360 around downtown west city.
i looked ahead at the dash board
my heart beat deepen
"I'm glad Bra couldn't make it to the interview "
i bit my lip as something green at an angle caught my eye ,
it was the airport warning light on top of Capsule corp downtown the tallest over towering building strong and intimidating.
i gasped
as the wind blew and Bras car came around the radius of the loop completely lined up with the monstrous building and green light .
I gasp as i felt that business card burn in my pocket as we sped on.
