The Cabin:
"Bra, have you seen Trunks or Simi today?"
"Uh, no, sorry Mom." Bra said as she searched for her towl. "Mom, where's my towel?"
"It's on the couch honey. Aren't you going to eat lunch?"
"I will when I get back!" Bra called over her shoulder as she ran out the door. Trunks and Simi hadn't returned yet. They're probably making out or something she laughed at the thought. "Man, that would be great black-mail material" she said to herself as she neared the pool. Bra trotted into the cave/overhang to set her towel down and her jaw dropped. Settled in the back were Trunks and Simi, holding eachother, sound asleep. She grinned from ear to ear as she stepped silently up to them.
Trunks lifter his head and hie eyes widdened when he saw his sister. "Bra, what are you doing here!?" he hissed.
Still grinning, "I was gonna go swiming. Man, when Mom hears about this she's gonna freak!"
"Quiet down!" he wispered, glancing at Simi. She hadn't wakened. He looked dat Bra, "Don't tell Mom, please."
"Why shouldn't I? SHe's been wondering were you two are..."
"Hey, I didn't tell who was taking money out of Dad's wallet for clothes!"
she opened her mouth to retort, then what he said sunk in, "How did you know that!? Dad didn't even notice the money missing!"
"I have my ways. Now, are you still gonna tell Mom?"
"No......but still.....ggrrrrr! This isn't fair!" she pouted. "The first time I get something really big on you, and I can't tell!"
He sighed and looked back at Simi, "I should probably go back to the cabin if Mom's looking for us. Now, go swiming or something"
"Why?"
"She'll freak out on you if she knows that you saw her like this."
"oh, yeah....um...I think I'll go for a walk." Bra says, hurrying off.
Trunks watches her go, then turns to Simi's sleeping body. He gently shakes her, "Simi, it's time to wake up." he whispers in her ear.
Simi slowly wakes up, looking at him through half open eyes, "Trunks?"
"Yep."
"Where are we?" she asks, looking around.
"In the over hang." he gently rubs her back,Feeling his hand, her eyes closed again, slowly. Her tail slowly made its way to rest around his waist. Trunks watches her expression with a smile. "How are you feeling?"
She suddenly realized that he was holding her agasint him, her practically in his lap. As her mind came into focus, she remembers what happened earlier. What the hell am I doing?! her mind screams at her. Without a word she retches herself from his grasp and stands up. "I'm going back to the cabin." she says flatly.
Trunks watches her leave in shock, then scrambles off the ground and follows her. "Simi, what's wrong?!" he asks as he catches up to her.
"Nothing. Leave me alone."
"Don't even try this crap. You were okay 10 seconds ago!" he grabs her arm.
"I said just leave me alone!" she yells, turning to look at him. "I wasn't thinking straight, alright? I don't care about you like that, you're barely my friend!"
Hearing her words, pain and sorrow ripped through him. He narrows his eyes, "No wonder you have no friends, you act like such a bitch to everyone!"
Her eyes widdened at his statement. Just as quickly they narrowed and with her free hand, she punches him hard enough to knock him out cold.
A while later Bra came back that direction to see if they were gone so she could go swiming. Then she came upon Trunk's unconsious form. Kneeling down she shook him untill he woke. "Trunks, what happened to you?"
He groaned, rubbing his cheek, where a bruise was already showing. "Simi...she punched me..."
"What'd you say?" she crossed her arms over her chest.
Trunks remembered what happened and groaned again, "Something really stupid...."
"I can see that moron. What was it?"
He shook his head, "Never mind," he got to his feet and slowly walked to the cabin, Bra following him in confusement.
Trunks squinted at the clock. 3:30 am. He couldnt sleep. Bra was sleeping on the couch in the living room. She didnt think it was safe to sleep in her and Simi's bedroom, since Simi had practically barricaded herself in there, and yelled at anyone who came near the door. Trunks kept going over what he had said to Simi earlier. How stupid are you?! he screamed at himself mentaly. He sat up and rubbed his face. I wonder if she'll even let me apologize.... he put a shirt on (yes, he IS wearing boxers) and snuck to her room. Trunks silently opened the door and stepped in, letting the door close behind him, then moved to the bed.
Simi was curled up in a ball, facing the wall. He sat next to her, leaning over her. "Simi......" he whispered in her ear. SHe turned over a little and saw who it was, To his surprise she didnt freak out at him. Instead she just turned her back on him and curled up in a ball, hiding her face. "Please don't..." he whispered She didn't move so he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her to look at him. She didn;t fight it. When he saw her face he felt his heart break. There were tear streaks, still wet, on her cheeks. Tears threatened to spill ou tof her eyes.
He put a hand on either side of her face, wiping her cheeks with his thumbs. "God, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said earlier. Please forgive me." She just stared at him. "Say something!" he demanded after several seconds of silence.
She watched him for a few more momnets, then in a small voice she answers, "I do."
"What?"
"I forgive you." he stared at her, then took her into his arms.
"Thank you" he said, holding her tightly. "I'm so sorry, I should never have said that. It's not true."
She let him pull her into a sitting position, his arms wrapped around her waist, but didnt react in any way. "Simi, please, say something." He whispered into her ear. She slowly came back to life, looking up at him. In the darkness he saw her eyes. still a little watery.
"I said i forgive you, isn't that enough? Now go away."
"No." he said simply. She sighed and looked down. "uh uh, look at me." he took her chin and turned it to look at him, "Simi...."
"Why do you even care about me?" she interupted, "you were right. I am a selfish Bitch! I dont deserve to-"
"Shut up Simi!" he hissed, glaring at her, "Let me finish damnit! I love you. I don't know why, but I do. And it's not going to change. I may not have lived the kind of life you had to, but I understand why you're this way. Just deal with it."
She stared at him for a moment. He watched her slightly shudder before her eyes welled up/ Before the tears fell she turned away and curled up on the bed, sobbing quietly. He lied down next to her, taking her into his arms again. This time she curled up agaisnt him and cried into his shirt. After a while her body stopped shaking and her sobd turned to small sniffs. She wiped her face and looked up at him. "Trunks....thank you..."
He smiled and brushed her hair back. WIthout a word he leaned down and kissed her lightly, thwn whispered against her lips, "you're welcome., now get some rest." he started to pull away, but she grabbed him.
"No, stay here....please." She didn't want him to leave, afraid that if he did she would wake up. Simi was almost positive that this was a dream
Trunks smiled and settled back down, pulling the blanket around them. He kissed her forehead and held her tightly to him. "I'll stay, but you sleep. I promise I wont leave you."
"Bra, have you seen Trunks or Simi today?"
"Uh, no, sorry Mom." Bra said as she searched for her towl. "Mom, where's my towel?"
"It's on the couch honey. Aren't you going to eat lunch?"
