Show me Love.
10; Moments.
A/n; Thank you all so very much for your very nice and in-depth feedback on the last chapter. I was surprised by the amount of reviews and new followers! You guys are such an inspiration. Special thanks to Goku272!
It's going to be a long one again, thought I'd prepare you.
Onwards!
"You need a haircut."
Krillin winced as Eighteen held a handful of his hair in her fierce grip, they had just finished a friendly sparring session. He was sitting on the ground with Eighteen kneeling in front of him and looking down on him with a smirk, him sweating profusely and panting slightly while she looked as if she had been reading all morning, safe for a few small tears in her clothes and smudges of sand on her arms and face.
"Geesh." He mumbled softly when Eighteen let go of him. He rubbed his sore head. "I think you're right, maybe I should just shave it all off again, it's a real hassle when it comes to sparring and such."
"No, just a little trim would be good." Eighteen said as she sat down next to him. She ran her fingers through his hair which promptly caused a blush to rise to his cheeks.
"Who cut it last time?"
"Barber." Krillin muttered trying his best not to let her soft touches effect him so much but it was hard to do when her fingers were softly and carefully massaging the sore spot on his head where she had gripped him.
Eighteen stopped her movements momentarily as she thought of something.
"I could cut if for you, if you like." She said.
Krillin raised his brows at that.
"Uhm no offense but I don't think you've ever gave someone a haircut before? I'll make an appointment with the barber tomorrow or something." He said with chuckle.
"It can't be that hard and besides, what's the worst that can happen?"
"You could ruin my hair, that's what."
"Well then you can just shave it all off again and start over." Eighteen stated matter of fact. Krillin grinned at that.
"Fine, but you better not mess it up on purpose." He said semi serious. Eighteen just shot him a mild glare at that.
"I wouldn't do such a thing. I already told you I like you better with hair didn't I? So I'm gonna make sure this will be right."
Eighteen stood up and outstretched her hand to help him up as well. Krillin wiped the sand off his clothes as he followed her into the house. Part of him was very apprehensive but it was as she had said, the worst that could happen was that he had to shave his head again and he really didn't have a problem with that.
Eighteen rummaged through a few drawers in the kitchen until she found what she was looking for. She turned towards Krillin gesturing him to take a seat on one of the kitchen chairs.
"Right now?"
Eighteen nodded. "Might as well get it over with." Krillin sat down, his apprehension hadn't completely vanished just yet. He felt her comb through his hair with her fingers.
"Maybe you should get my comb from the bathroom?" Krillin turned his head to face her but she would have none of it.
"Don't need it, now hold still."
Krillin clasped his hands together as he heard the first snips of the scissors. He seriously began to have doubts, seriously began to wonder why in the world he had agreed to this but it was too late now. Eighteen didn't say a word as she snipped away. Krillin grew a little antsy as he witnessed locks of his hair fall to the floor.
"How's it looking back there?" He asked when she had stopped.
"Looks pretty good actually." Eighteen answered looking at her handiwork.
"Now all that is left is the sides and front." She stood in front of him and bend down slightly. Krillin watched her snip away with a concentrated look on her face. He tried not to squirm at her close proximity when she stopped cutting to scrutinize her work from up close. He could feel her warm breath on his face while she cut a few more strands before locking her eyes on his.
"All done." She said softly. She held his gaze for a little longer before standing back up to her full height. Krillin swallowed slightly.
"Not too bad if I do say so myself." Eighteen said with a smirk. She motioned for him to get up.
"I'll be the judge of that." Krillin joked as he ran his hands through his shorter hair, he swiftly walked up the stairs to the bathroom to look at his reflection in the mirror.
His eyes widened in surprise, it actually did look good.
"Well?"
Krillin jumped, he hadn't noticed her following him. She was looking at him in the mirror.
"I gotta say, I didn't expect this, it's nice."
Eighteen stood behind him with a knowing smirk on her face before she suddenly gripped his hair.
"Hey!" Krillin winched.
"Still can use it against you in a spar though." With that she left him alone. Krillin just watched her before shaking his head and taking his shirt off. Some of the fallen hair had gotten in the fabric and it itched. He decided to freshen up now that he was in the bathroom, he was still slightly sweaty and dirty from their spar.
When he came downstairs, Eighteen was no where to be seen in the house. He noticed she had cleaned up the kitchen. He walked out onto the beach. She was sitting at the edge of the water with a glass of iced tea, gingerly sipping the liquid while staring ahead of her. Krillin sat down next to her.
"Thanks, Eighteen."
She just nodded in acknowledgment before carefully setting her now empty glass aside.
Krillin let out a small sigh, it was a nice day out today, not as hot as it had been the previous few weeks. He arched his brows when he felt her hand enclose his and squeeze slightly. It reminded him of that night they had seen the fireworks in the Satan City theme-park. His cheeks colored slightly as he squeezed back.
"What are you thinking about?" Eighteen asked curious when Krillin adopted a very thoughtful expression.
"Well...we haven't been on our date yet. I was just thinking we should?" He smiled up at her.
Eighteen's eyes widened slightly at that but she nodded.
"Where?"
Krillin mulled this one over a bit, he wasn't too sure of what she would like to do. He could ask her of course or suggest something generic that he knew most people did on first dates, but Eighteen wasn't like most people.
Still, it didn't hurt to ask or maybe she would have an idea.
"Well I was thinking..."
He slowly crept through the thick brush of the forest that surrounded him, his trained eyes were locked onto his prey just ahead.
Seventeen slowly and carefully readied his rifle as he proceeded forwards. He squinted his eyes, locking in onto the target, his trigger finger was shaking slightly. This time he would shoot it, this time he wouldn't fail! This time...
"Seventeen! There you are, I have been looking all over for you." Came a voice from behind him. Seventeen almost fell over, startled by the sudden interruption of sound in the otherwise silent surroundings he found himself in. He frowned heavily when his target looked up and ran.
"Ah man! Eighteen! You made it run away and I was THIS close to getting it too! You ruined it!" He all but yelled as he turned around to face his sister who simply shrugged.
"Well, you just disappeared on me, leaving me to deal with that damned wasp's nest that you dropped in the first place!" Eighteen said planting her hands in her sides.
"Seriously, that was uncalled for."
"So was this! Did you not see that huge rack of antlers on that buck? It would've looked so good on my wall but noooo you had to go and ruin it." Seventeen retorted slinging his gun over his shoulder.
"I'm done for today."
Eighteen rolled her eyes as he brother pushed past her, his shoulders were slumped.
"Oh come on! It's not that bad, you can always go hunting later today again!." But Seventeen didn't answer her, instead he just kept on walking. Eighteen shrugged as she followed him back to the cabin. He would get over it.
"Just so you know." Seventeen said when they reached their cabin. "You're not coming with me again. Ever! You don't even like hunting so why did you come today in the first place?"
"Whatever and I was bored." Eighteen said matter of fact.
Seventeen let out a sigh hanging up his rifle on the wall next to the TV.
"You ruined my good day." He said pouting. Eighteen just rolled her eyes at him.
"Stop being so dramatic, it will probably come back later or else some other day."
"That 'other day' could have been today if it weren't for you and your big loud mouth!" Seventeen walked into the kitchen to grab a glass. He opened the fridge and eyed the almost empty pitcher of tea. A smirk formed on his face as he grabbed it and poured the contents in his glass.
"Give me some." Eighteen said as she sat down at the table.
Seventeen grinned, emptying his whole glass in one go.
"Oops sorry, didn't hear you there, I'm afraid this was the last of it." He said innocently. Eighteen glared at him.
"You snooze you lose, that's all I'm saying!" He said shrugging as he placed the empty pitcher in the kitchen sink.
"Two can play at that game, I'm not making a new batch today." Eighteen retorted with a smirk of her own.
He sighed in defeat, there was just no way of winning against his sister some days.
Eighteen grinned before leaving the kitchen to go to her room. She looked at the clock, it was almost time to go.
Today she and Krillin were supposedly having their big date, she blushed as images of the small man flooded her vision.
She was excited for their date. When they had discussed what to do they, had come up empty at first. Krillin had suggested all the traditional things people did for first dates like going out to eat or grab a movie or a combination of that and other things but Eighteen found that she wasn't too keen on those ideas.
"Then how about I prepare a picnic or something and I'll show you my second favorite place in the world?" Is what he had asked her and it had piqued her interest and curiosity which only grew with each passing day because Krillin hadn't wanted to tell her anything about this so called place.
"You'll see when we get there." Was his standard reply every time she brought it up. Eighteen laid back putting her arms behind her head.
Since the outing at the theme-park, Krillin had also tried to get her to come visit his friends with him, she had declined every time. She didn't know exactly why but the whole idea made her nervous. She scoffed, there really was nothing to be nervous about, some of them might be stronger than her but she could still stand her ground. And Krillin kept assuring her that they wouldn't harm her in any way, though Vegeta might make some snide remarks but she could handle him. Eighteen grinned as she replayed the moment she had broken that arrogant Saiyan's arm.
Eighteen sighed softly to herself before getting up. She was getting impatient, Krillin surely wouldn't mind if she showed up a little earlier than planned. With that thought in mind, she grabbed her music player and headed out the door, waving at her brother who ignored her stubbornly. Eighteen shook her head, he could be so immature sometimes.
Meanwhile at Kame Island, Krillin was busily packing up a moderate picnic basket. He grabbed some plastic utensils and threw them in there before capsuling the basket and pocketing the capsule.
To say he was nervous was the understatement of the year though he really didn't know why. He spend a lot of time with Eighteen already, she was literally on the island almost every day. But just knowing that this was something special, that it would be just the two of them enjoying some time together, he just couldn't help himself. He was excited to show her the island where he and Goku had been trained by Master Roshi. Just thinking back at the fond memories brought a smile to his face.
He shoved his hands in his pockets as he made his way back into the living room. Master Roshi and Oolong were bend over a map they had spread out on the table.
"I think this would be a good place to stop too, I've heard really good things about it!" Oolong said wiggling his brows and grinning broadly. Master Roshi marked the spot by circling it with a red marker.
"So, you two are actually going to go through with this trip?" Krillin asked. He sat down next to them and eyed all the red marks on the map. There were quite a few.
"Just how long are you going to be gone for?" He asked with raised brows.
"Oh not too long, maybe two weeks? Three?" Master Roshi marked yet another spot.
"Yeah, kind of. We will narrow all these red marks down to only the best ones."
"Sounds like fun." Krillin said though he had an inkling this trip of theirs would be very different from what he would have in mind. Knowing those two, they'd probably tour the world's best strip joints.
"Oh and I hear that they wear these very awesome but skimpy costumes at this place! We should totally check that out too."
Krillin rolled his eyes as he stood up, he knew he had been right.
"Well, you two have fun planning, I'll be back later." With that he exited the house and walked up to the water's edge. It was still a bit before Eighteen supposedly would be here but when he looked up at the sky he was pleasantly surprised that she was already on her way. He waved in greeting as she landed in front of him in the warm sand.
Eighteen took off her headphones and turned the music off.
"Hey, you're early." Krillin said with a smile.
"Was getting bored at the house plus Seventeen is still mad at me so he's no fun to be around as of now." Eighteen said.
"Why is he mad at you?"
Eighteen chuckled as she told him about what had happened.
Krillin shook his head at her story before scratching the back of his head.
"Well since you're here now, shall we go?"
"Yes, but are you ever going to tell me where we are going?" Eighteen asked with a slight frown.
"Oh it's not far from here, just a few miles south of the island actually." Krillin flashed her a wide smile as they ascended in the air.
"That's not really an answer..." Eighteen trailed off but decided to let it rest for now. She flew besides him, taking in the changing surroundings. They were still above the vast ocean but there were more islands here, although some seemed to be too small to have people living on them, they were even smaller than Kame Island. Eighteen raised her eyebrows curiously when Krillin stopped in midair. She stopped next to him, intrigued by a rather large island below them. It seemed to be divided in different areas as far as she could see. In the middle stood, what she assumed was a volcano judging from the light smoke that erupted every now and then. She observed some kind of large forest though it looked different and vaster than the one her brother resided in.
"We're here." Krillin said, descended to the ground right in the middle of said forest.
"What is this place?" Eighteen wondered as she immediately felt the shift in temperature, the place was humid and warm.
"The jungle!" Krillin said with a grin. "Actually we're on Training Island. This is where me and Goku trained under Master Roshi when we were kids. Ah it brings back so many fond memories." He said with a smile as he took in his surroundings.
"Though this jungle scared me a little, there are various dangerous animals residing here."
"You trained in here?" Eighteen asked not really seeing anything beneficial about this place, the trees were tall and the ground was covered in various plants and flowers.
"Well, this is where it started, we had to find a rock with Master Roshi's turtle sign on it, let me tell you it was not an easy task and I kind of cheated." Krillin said with a light laugh.
"I paid for it too!" He grimaced remembering the dinner that had made all of them but Goku sick.
"But to further answer your question, Master Roshi used the whole island as training grounds. He had us deliver milk all the way up to one of the mountains."
Eighteen raised her brows at that which prompted Krillin to tell her all about his time on the island with Goku while they swiftly made their way through the jungle. Eighteen could see why this would be one of his favorite places, it truly was beautiful in here.
Krillin knelt in front of a patch of big bright blue flowers and picked one.
"Here you go." He said levitating up a little so he could place the flower behind Eighteen's ear who gave him a questioning look .
Krillin stood back on the ground.
"It looks good on you, compliments your eyes." He said blushing slightly.
Eighteen snorted at him but softly touched the delicate flower.
"Come on, let's get out of here, I don't know about you but I'm getting hungry and know just the place where we can set up our picnic." He motioned for her to follow him.
They arrived at an open grassy spot which was adorned by just a few tall trees. There was a big lake, it's water sparkled in the sun.
"Careful around those trees! They might have beehives." Krillin warned as he walked up to the edge of the water. He let out a sigh.
"Would you believe me if I told you there was a shark in this lake?"
"No." Eighteen replied.
"Well it's true!"
Krillin smiled up at her. "If I could show you, I would but that would probably require me getting in the water and I don't feel like swimming today." He joked while popping the capsule he had brought.
Eighteen smirked. "Then I won't believe you, seeing is believing you know." She sat down on the blanket Krillin had spread out for them. He sat beside her and opened the picnic basket.
"I cooked a little bit of everything you like." He said handing her a plate. He took out various containers with food.
"Everything I like?" Eighteen wondered out loud.
"Yes, I wanted this to be special so I cooked some of your favorite dishes." He shrugged as he handed her several little servings of food. Eighteen blushed despite herself but quickly regulated it. She sampled some of the food on her plate, it was really good. Krillin watched her eat for a moment before starting on his own plate.
They ate in silence, just enjoying each other's company, though sometimes he would tell her a funny anecdote from his training sessions that popped up in his mind and Eighteen would listen with interest. It was intriguing to hear him tell his stories with such enthusiasm. Of course she knew some of the basics from what Gero had installed in her but hearing it detail from him was so much better.
Krillin watched the clouds which had gathered and drifted lazily over them. He set his now empty plate aside. Eighteen had already finished hers.
He laid back with his hands behind his head and gazed up at the skies. With one hand, he softly tugged at Eighteen's sleeve.
"Want to watch the clouds with me?" He asked softly.
"What's so special about those?" Eighteen wondered out loud. Krillin faked a horrified gasp.
"Don't tell me you've never cloud gazed before?!" He gently grabbed a hold of her arm and tugged her down until she was lying down next to him. She gave him a puzzled stare.
"Just look up and watch. It's fun to discover the different shapes."
Eighteen did as she was told but for the life of her she couldn't really fathom what he was getting at.
"As in example, see that big fluffy one there?" Krillin asked pointing straight above them. "I think it kind of looks like a giant pillow."
Eighteen snorted at that. "What?"
Krillin sighed. "You've got to have some imagination here, don't just look at it, try and see something besides the cloud."
"You are not making any sense but alright." Eighteen squinted her eyes and tried to see what he was supposedly to be seeing. She didn't see how he found it looked like a pillow, to her it looked more like am ordinary square.
"It looks like a square, not a pillow." Krillin chuckled at that.
"Well that is what you interpret it as, your vision is different than mine of course, though a pillow is usually square. What about that one?" He pointed a little ways from them.
Eighteen adopted a thoughtful expression as she observed the cloud.
"Kind of looks like a person, a face?" She said softly. She was beginning to like this little game.
"A face? Who's?"
"Don't know, just a face, it has that shape, see?"
"Huh, really? It looks more like a giant light bulb to me to be honest." Krillin chuckled.
"How in the world do you see a light bulb in it?" Eighteen exclaimed astonished. He shrugged at that.
"I have a different outlook on things."
"Whatever, what about that one then?"
Krillin turned his head slightly.
"Hm...that is a tough one, it looks odd don't you think?"
"Not really, kind of looks like a rabbit or mouse."
Krillin raised his brows at that while squinting his eyes.
"Well I can see a mouse but a rabbit?"
"Or maybe a cat?" Eighteen added.
"Hm, that is more like it." Krillin shrugged. The wind picked up momentarily, causing the clouds to shift and drift further apart.
"Oh, it changed now." Eighteen said softly.
"Yeah now it looks like Oolong!" Krillin grinned. Eighteen just gave him a look before looking back up. Sure enough she could slightly make out the pig's form in the cloud.
"But this one is a lot easier on the eyes." She remarked dryly. Krillin lost it after that.
"Oh that's funny, wait till I tell him that, he'll be mortified!"
Krillin's laughter ceased slowly, he grabbed a hold of her hand and squeezed it before letting it go.
"You know, it's nice to spend time with you in one of my favorite places in the world. Even if this is not a typical first date setting, this is so much better." He whispered gently tugging at a strand of hair that had fallen in her face, swiping it away so he could look at her eyes. He loved the color of her eyes, it was not a typical blue, he couldn't really find an accurate description for them.
Eighteen felt herself grow a little nervous under his close proximity.
"Stop staring at me, that's a bad habit you're developing." She said softly as she averted her gaze.
"Can't help it, like I said before, you're beautiful." Krillin said matter of fact. He frowned as he observed a small smudge of red forming on her cheeks before it disappeared. Eighteen sat up straight.
Krillin did the same.
"You know sometimes I wish I had that ability, it could come in handy."
Eighteen shot him a puzzled look. "What?"
Krillin chuckled. "The way you make your blush disappear, I wish I could do that sometimes, Kami knows I need it every now and then!" He scratched the back of his head.
"But I really wish you'd stop doing it though."
"Why?"
"Isn't obvious? You're cute when you blush." Krillin blurted out without thinking. Eighteen's eyes widened at that, she felt the temperature rise in her cheeks once again but didn't stop it this time.
"You're such an idiot sometimes." She said not looking at him though he could see a smile forming on her face. Krillin chuckled at that before his face turned serious.
"I might be, but you still like me." He said boldly. Eighteen narrowed her eyes at him.
"Says who?" She teased.
"You actually, in every little thing you do." Krillin scooted closer to her, their arms were touching, Eighteen automatically grabbed a hold of his hand.
"See what I mean?" He grinned as he lifted their intertwined hands.
"Shut up." Eighteen looked away but didn't let go. She murmured something but Krillin couldn't understand it.
"What was that?"
Eighteen shot him a semi serious look.
"I said, so what does this make us now?"
Krillin rubbed his chin thoughtfully as he thought back to their long conversation when she had first returned to the island. Technically speaking they were not really dating yet. He just wondered if she was ready to admit to it as they had agreed they would take things slow that night. He reached up to brush some of her hair away from her ear and whispered his answer to her.
"I'd like to be able to think of you as my girlfriend."
Eighteen's eyes widened slightly though she had kind of expected this to come and she was a fool if she didn't admit she wanted the same as him, they had already grown remarkably closer ever since that night of revelations, it was honestly just a matter of time.
"That sounds so juvenile though." She whispered back.
"I don't care."
"Hn, I already know you don't, I guess it's official now then."
Krillin arched a brow at her.
"We're official...that sounds so sophisticated." He joked letting out a relieved sigh he didn't know he was holding in.
"This calls for a celebration! Let's dig into dessert." He said letting go of her hand.
"You actually brought dessert?" Eighteen watched as he took a rather large container from the picnic basket.
"Yep, made it myself from scratch, it took me a few tries but I think this one is edible enough." He opened the lid and showed her the contents inside. It seemed to be some kind of chocolate cake, she couldn't really tell because it looked like it was smashed in the container
"What is that?"
"Ah, I guess it got thrown around a bit too much, but it's edible trust me. It's a simple chocolate cream pie."
"I'll let you eat some first and if you're still alive, I'll eat some." Eighteen joked smugly.
"Oh but you hurt my feelings!" Krillin mocked. He took two clean plates from the basket and scooped some pie on both of them.
He carefully took a bite from his share and munched on it quietly, it really did taste good. He smirked mentally, he would get her for that comment though.
"Hm, I outdid myself, it's actually ve...ughhhhh." He dropped his plate dramatically and grabbed his throat.
"What's 'appening, I canth breathh!" He said with widened eyes. Eighteen narrowed her eyes at him. She wasn't sure if he was playing a joke on her or not. But when his face paled considerably she didn't think twice to grab him around the waist and press him against her in short precise thrusts. Krillin spit the offending piece of pie crust out and hung limply in her arms.
"Krillin? Are you okay? Krillin?!" But he didn't answer her. She carefully laid him flat on his back as she bend over him.
"Hey, snap out of it." She softly slapped his cheek. Krillin murmured something, she had to strain her ears to hear him. She brought her ear closer to his mouth.
"What?"
Krillin had to do his best not to laugh as he whispered in her ear.
"Gotcha!"
Eighteen's eyes narrowed. She sat back up and smacked him on the head, hard. His eyes teared up from the impact and his laughter which ripped through the silence around them.
"Jerk." She said with a frown but couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped as she picked up her plate. With one swift motion she turned it over on his head.
Krillin's laughter ceased immediately when he felt the gooey cream and chocolate drip down his face. It was Eighteen's turn to laugh out loud when he realized what she had done.
"Oh it's ON now!" He smirked as he scooped up the remainder of the pie but Eighteen was two steps ahead of him and already up in the air, he shot up too but couldn't catch up. He threw the pie at her but missed.
"Really? Your aim was way off on that one." She said with a smirk, she had stopped moving and was now floating in midair. Krillin shrugged as he licked some of the chocolate off his cheek.
"Your loss really, you didn't get to taste my awesome creation." He stuck out his tongue at her for good measure. Eighteen shrugged as she flew towards him.
"You're wrong." She swiped a finger across his chocolate smeared face and stuck it in her mouth. It was actually really tasty.
"It's pretty good, too bad you had to ruin it." She said. Krillin just shook his head at her.
"Whatever, now look at me though, I was going to show you the rest of the island and tell you more great stories but I can't do that looking like this."
"Why don't you wash up in that lake?"
"Did you forget about the shark that's in there?"
"There is no such thing as a shark in a regular lake." Eighteen scoffed before descending back to the ground. She observed the clear water, there was obviously nothing shark-like in it.
"Seriously, you see things that are not there." But Krillin knew better and he would show her. But first he took a cloth from the basket and sat near the edge of the water to wash the chocolate off his face and out of his hair as much as he could. He shivered, the water was freezing. When he was remotely presentable again he gathered up all the left overs and motioned for Eighteen to follow him up in the air.
They hoovered above the middle of the lake.
"I'm telling you, there is a shark and I'll show it to you." With that he dropped the leftovers into the water. At first nothing happened but then a huge wave appeared when something seemed to jump out of the water.
Eighteen did not want to believe her eyes but Krillin had been right all along. She floated upwards just a little bit since the shark had jumped rather high up from the water. With a splash it disappeared under the water's surface again.
"Told you so." Krillin said smugly."Though I am doubtful this is the same one that made me and Goku swim world records, there are probably more than just this one in here." He shrugged as he went back to their picnic site. He filled the basket back up with the now empty containers before capsuling it back up.
"Let's go, it's already getting late, I don't want to give you a tour in the dark." He joked. Eighteen frowned at that, the skies were still as bright and clear as before.
"The sun isn't setting for a while though." She remarked.
"Oh I know that, but I figured we could try and catch the sunset back at Kame island. It's been a while since we did that." Krillin said with a smile.
When they arrived back at Kame island a few hours later, they both felt exhaustion set in. It had been a long but very interesting day as far as Eighteen was concerned. She stretched out slightly before shrugging out of the light jacket she had been wearing. She carefully hung it over one of the beach chairs. Looking up at the sky she noticed several streaks of reds and oranges had already started to appear.
"Looks like we made it just in time!" Krillin said with a smile. He pointed up to the roof .
"Wanna join me?"
Eighteen nodded.
"You brought your music player earlier didn't you?" Krillin asked suddenly.
"Yes, it's in my jacket though. Why?"
"I figured we could listen to it, I still have that double ended jack and my plugs. I'll go get it if you want?"
Eighteen nodded.
A few moments later, Krillin sat down next to her handing the player to her after plugging the double jack into it.
Eighteen turned the small device on, immediately a soft melody started playing. She had a sense of nostalgia remembering the last time they had done this and Krillin had fallen asleep next to her.
"You still have the same songs?" Krillin asked surprised.
Eighteen took her headphones off slightly so that she could hear him.
"Yes, they're good songs."
"I cannot disagree with that." After that it was silent for a while. Krillin was twiddling his thumbs to the soft beats of the song but his mind was elsewhere. He was still overwhelmed by all that had happened today, just now the full realization of them being an official couple set in fully and he couldn't stop the lovestruck grin that surfaced on his face. Oh how he wanted to share this good news with everyone. He frowned slightly at that as he thought of something else.
He took his earplugs out and turned his gaze towards the darkening skies letting out a soft but content sigh.
"Hey Eighteen?"
"Hn?"
"Will you come with me Saturday?"
"Come with you? Where?"
Krillin turned to face her.
"Bulma's throwing another get together, I would like it if you came with me. She told me to invite you too."
Eighteen mulled it over in her head.
"Well, I guess now that I'm your girlfriend, I'm somewhat obligated, I guess it can't hurt." She trailed off.
Krillin immediately held up his hands.
"No, that's not true! The fact that we're now officially together had nothing to do with this, you are not obligated to do anything, I would never force you to do something you didn't want to do." He said hastily.
"Relax Krillin, I was just joking." Eighteen smirked at the panic that edged his face for a moment.
"I'll come with you, it's about time we get this over with anyway. But I'm telling you right now, if someone makes one bad comment I will not responsible for what happens, got that?"
Krillin chuckled at that.
"Okay, just try not to kill anyone." He played along before turning serious again.
"I'm happy though, this means a lot to me." He scooted closer to her and wrapped an arm around her waist, resting his head against her shoulder. Eighteen raised her brows at that but leaned into him nonetheless.
"The sun's almost gone." She said softly. Krillin just nodded turning his gaze upwards to observe the now almost darkened sky. He could already make out a few stars.
He felt Eighteen curl her arm around his shoulders while her fingers found their way into his hair.
"It's still sticky from that pie."
"Your fault." Krillin retorted quickly.
"You deserved it."
He chuckled at that. "Yeah, I guess I did." He let out a sigh, her soft touches were relaxing. He briefly closed his eyes. Eighteen had put her headphones back on properly again and was humming softly to the melody of the current song. Krillin listened to her soft voice with a smile, he counted his lucky stars that he had found her that day but never would he have thought that his dream would come true. Yet here she was, sitting next to him, not a care in the world it seemed.
"I think it's time for me to go home now." Eighteen remarked after a little while when the music had stopped playing. It was pitch black now, the only light coming from the bright full moon in the sky. Clouds had gathered and the wind had picked up. The smell of rain was in the air.
"Looks like we're going to have rain soon, I'd rather be back home before it lets loose." Krillin sat up straight so she could get up. He stood up too and stretched lazily, hiding a yawn behind his hand. The day's activities were catching up to him as he felt his muscles start to ache tiredly.
"Alright, be careful though." He followed her down to the sandy ground where she put her jacket back on. Handing him back his earplugs and audio jack, she regarded him for a moment before she took a step towards him. Bending down she lifted his chin with her finger and planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
"Bye, I'll be back soon." With that she took off leaving a stunned and very flustered Krillin behind who gently touched the spot where she had kissed him. A goofy smile appeared on his face as he turned around and walked into the house. Just when he thought the day had already been perfect, she had made it even better with that tiny gesture.
"I'm the luckiest man alive right now." He muttered to himself already knowing that his dreams would be filled with images of her and memories of the events of the day.
"We're here." Krillin carefully descended the air-car to a landing spot next to Capsule Corps.
"About time too! I'm starving, I wonder what kind of sweet goodies Mrs. Briefs has for us this time!" Oolong said eager as he jumped out.
Eighteen observed her surroundings with a wary eye. The house they stood in front of looked rather large. She already had some basic information collected in her files but the size still took her slightly by surprise.
"You two go in, we'll be right there." Krillin said waving at Oolong and Master Roshi. When they had disappeared into the garden dome, he turned his attention back to Eighteen.
"You can still turn back, you know. If you want..." He trailed off. He flashed her a small smile.
"It's fine." Eighteen said. She didn't return his smile nor did she take his outstretched hand. Krillin gently rubbed her arm slightly before walking away, motioning for her to follow him.
Eighteen let out a shaky sigh she didn't know she was holding, she scolded herself mentally for seemingly getting too worked up over such a stupid and trivial thing.
"Here we go." Krillin said as he held the glass doors open for her.
Eighteen had to do a double take when she stepped into the large indoor garden. Big trees and grassy fields seemed to stretch out for miles, adorned by different flowers and shrubs. There were small stone walking pads everywhere. There were tables set up with food and drinks. All in all it was very impressive.
"What is this place?" She wondered more to herself than anything but Krillin had heard her.
"Dr Briefs is a brilliant scientist as I have told you before but also a fantastic gardener, he has several domes like this, I swear he has some dinosaurs living in one of them."
"You give me entirely too much credit, Krillin." Came a voice from behind them.
"It's good to see you, Krillin!" A second voice said.
They both turned around and came face to face with Dr briefs who was carrying his cat on his shoulder and Mrs Briefs who was carrying a tray with all kinds of cakes.
"Have a pastry, dear."
"Thanks." Krillin said as he took two, handing one to Eighteen.
"Who did you bring with you today?" Dr Briefs inquired with interest.
"Oh! This is Eighteen, Eighteen this is Dr Briefs and his wife, Bulma's parents."
Eighteen shook the man's outstretched hand.
"Finally we get to meet you in person then, we've already heard so much about you from this young man here." The scientist said with a friendly laugh while scratching his cat softly.
"I hope you enjoy your stay here, everyone is just up ahead." With that he walked away.
Eighteen watched him go. Mrs Briefs had already disappeared and was now handing out pastries to the others. She eyed the little cupcake in her hands.
"Hm, pretty good as per usual." Krillin said munching on his own. Eighteen handed hers to him which prompted him to raise his brows up at her.
"I don't need it."
"Neither do I but they're so good!" He joked as he took a bite off hers.
"Come on, the others are probably wondering what is taking us so long!"
Gohan was the first to notice them. He quickly made his way over.
"Hey guys! Good to see you again." Eighteen smiled slightly at the teen, he was not bad company.
His outburst however, had alerted the others of their presence.
"Krillin! Finally. Thought you'd stay outside the dome forever!" Yamcha said. His eyes shifted to the tall person next to his friend. No matter how many times Krillin had assured him she was not evil or out to get them all, just seeing her stand there made him apprehensive. He noticed the others hesitating to move until Bulma stepped forward.
"Well well, look who finally made it to one of my parties." She said eying Eighteen with slightly narrowed eyes. Krillin couldn't help but feel a little nervous as he watched the interaction between the two women.
Eighteen didn't really know what the deal was with this woman in front of her but she didn't like the way she was looking at her.
Bulma grinned as she stuck out her hand.
"I think we got off on the wrong foot last time, let's do this over the right way."
She raised her brows at that but took her hand anyway.
"No seriously, I'm kind of glad you finally decided to come! Krillin is crazy about you, you know, always talking about you." Bulma said wiggling her brows. Krillin blushed as Eighteen locked her eyes on his with a slightly curious frown.
"Ah, you're exaggerating Bulma." He said scratching the back of his head.
Yamcha watched the interaction before pushing his own reservations aside. He stood up and made his way over to join them.
"Bulma's right though!" He chimed in. He grinned knowingly when the short man's blush intensified.
"So, you're the one who was targeting my husband."
Eighteen turned around swiftly coming face to face with a black haired woman who was frowning at her, there was a small child in her arms who looked at her apprehensively. She frowned as she mentally searched her files for this woman's information, she had an inkling as to who she was by the way she had spoken to her.
"Chichi." She said in a monotone. That caught the slightly shorter woman off guard.
The others watched the exchange with mild curiosity and not without a little anxiety. They didn't know how Chichi would exactly react, she seemed fine when Krillin talked about Eighteen but now that they were standing across from each other in person, it was a whole different story.
"How do you know my name...wait never mind." Chichi said as she eyed Krillin who stood a little off the side.
Eighteen followed her gaze for a moment before turning her gaze back to the person before her.
"I knew who you were before I met him. Dr Gero gave me information about you. You're a martial artist who married Goku after the 23rd World tournament." She recited, not entirely sure why she was doing so in the first place.
"That's impressive...and a little creepy." Chichi remarked with a frown before letting out a sigh.
"I was planning on giving you a hard time, after all you are partially responsible for my husband's passing but...I guess you're not so bad. Gohan likes you which says enough. Plus Goku wouldn't have wanted us to be enemies, he always was very keen on giving people second chances" Chichi narrowed her eyes at her.
"That doesn't mean I'm not keeping an eye on you." With that she stuck her hand out.
"Thanks, I guess?" Eighteen muttered as she took the outstretched hand. Goten smiled up at her, apparently noticing the atmosphere turning. Yamcha slapped Krillin on the back.
"Come on, I need to show you my latest toy, it's a beauty, I'll tell ya!" He said leading the shorter man out of the dome to show off his newest sports car.
Bulma on the other hand grabbed a hold of Eighteen and whisked her away towards the tables. Eighteen pulled herself free from the blue haired woman's grip.
"I can walk on my own." She remarked. Bulma lifted a brow at that but didn't say anything. Instead she handed Eighteen a tall drink. She sniffed it, it smelled weird. Analysis told her there was alcohol in it. She politely sat it back on the table.
"No thanks, I'm not thirsty."
"It's good to see you again, Eighteen." Dende said. She hadn't even noticed him nor Piccolo sitting at the table. She nodded in reply.
Piccolo glanced at her.
"A fair warning, they won't leave you alone once you are in, you can still escape while you have the chance." He said. Eighteen wasn't sure if he was joking or not but judging from the serious expression on his face, she guessed he wasn't.
"Don't listen to him." Bulma said with a grin.
"I'm telling you, it's the newest model, it has all the extra's you'd want in a car and more! We'll take it for a spin a little later!" Yamcha was still talking about his car when he and Krillin made it back to the table. Krillin grinned.
"Deal, I'd like to see what it's made of, I'm sure it's not as fast as our fastest air car."
"Nope, it's faster."
Yamcha took one of the drinks Bulma offered him while Krillin took a seat next to Eighteen opting for some fresh lemonade instead. He stole a sideways glance at her and saw she was looking down at a curious Trunks who had walked up to her and was observing her with a slight frown until he got bored and walked over to Goten and Gohan who were seated on a blanket in the grass. Gohan was building with big blocks and let the small boys thump them over.
"Goten sure grew a lot since the last time I saw him." He remarked with awe.
"It's no wonder with that appetite, the boy can eat. I would almost say he is worse than his father." Chichi smiled fondly at her two sons.
"He's doing so well and he adores his big brother."
"Who wouldn't?" Krillin said with a smile. "Gohan is the best big brother he could have wished for!"
The party progressed steadily after that, they were now playing some games though Eighteen didn't participate, she preferred to watch the activities from a safe distance especially since some people got their hands on a little too much alcoholic beverages. She shook her head when she witnessed Master Roshi trip over a small log they had been using in one of their strange games.
She glanced sideways and frowned. Vegeta was also standing off to the side, watching her. He had been quite rude when he had first noticed her but she hadn't paid him any attention. If anything, she'd rather ignore the saiyan, not wanting to start any trouble now that she seemed to get along with this group of mismatched friends. She had to admit that she did start to have a good time so far, the uneasiness which had hung in the air earlier had disappeared.
Eighteen bit her lip, something was still bothering her though. So when she saw Bulma take a seat to rest up from all that was going on, she ceased her chance.
She made her way towards Bulma, walking past Vegeta.
"Enjoying yourself, tin can?" He sneered.
Eighteen just shot him a look, raising a brow before resuming her path. She could practically feel the anger radiate off him when she ignored his little jab She stopped in front of the blue haired woman who looked up at her with a grin.
"You should really join in with the festivities more, Eighteen. You're missing out." She slightly slurred.
"How did you make that remote?" Eighteen asked, ignoring her suggestion. Bulma's grin vanished for a split second before it returned full force.
"Oh that was easy! Krillin and Trunks gave me the blue prints to Android Seventeen and we reconstructed it from the info we decoded on those." She sat up a little straighter.
"I wish he hadn't destroyed it though, he could have at least given it back if he wasn't going to use it in the first place!" She stood up motioning for Eighteen to follow her.
"I'll show you, if you want. I still have them."
Eighteen mulled this over, she wasn't entirely sure if she should but part of her was too curious to let this opportunity slip by. She followed Bulma who had already disappeared inside.
It seemed to take forever until they reached their destination wherever that was, Eighteen was astonished at the size of the dome shaped house. She could tell that Bulma's family was not shy of money.
"Here we are, my dad's pride and joy." Bulma said gesturing around her, they had walked into some kind of laboratory like facility. They walked to the very back, through some metal sliding doors.
Eighteen eyed the tools on the walls around her, she unconsciously crossed her arms over her chest. This room made her feel really uneasy. She swallowed slightly as she tried to keep up with the woman in front of her.
"Here we are, let me see if I can find it here."
Eighteen stepped into a smaller room through the archway in the wall. This room was also littered with various tools and instruments. In the middle was a large long examination table which had computers attached to it. She suddenly felt nauseous, she reached out to the wall to steady herself. What was going on?
"Hey, are you alright?"
Eighteen nodded as she regained her posture quickly. As she did so, her eyes fell on a framed picture on the wall next to her.
"Is that...Android Sixteen?" She asked with widened eyes.
"Hm? Oh yeah, my dad and I worked on him after he got damaged by Cell, sweet fellow. Never would think of him as some evil machine created to destroy Goku, Scratch, the cat my dad carries around all the time, was crazy about him. So sad he's gone, that monster completely destroyed him." Eighteen swallowed softly at that little piece of new information. She had known he probably hadn't survived but to hear it as a fact still stirred something inside of her. She shrugged it off, frowning as a strange giggle escaped Bulma's mouth. She had a suspicion Bulma was a little more than tipsy but she didn't dwell on it any further for she handed her a roll of papers which were bound together with a piece of elastic.
"Here we go, you know, dad is a genius scientist and even he had trouble decoding all the text on these documents. I was not much of a help there, I mean I know my stuff but I'm more of a mechanic, inventor if you will. We make a good team."
Eighteen eyed the papers in her hands, with just a little snap she would be able to see but something stopped her. She was feeling anxious but not really knowing why. She swallowed thickly as she handed the roll of papers back to Bulma.
"You don't want to see them?"
Eighteen shook her head, feeling a little lightheaded all of a sudden, this room they were in started to get to her. She felt like the walls were closing in on her. She visibly paled when images she had buried away deep inside of her suddenly flashed before her eyes. She promptly turned around and walked out. She couldn't stay there, it woke up slumbering memories she had tried so hard to forget.
She let out a relieved sigh when she stepped back into the botanical dome. She took a deep shaky breath.
Krillin, who had been looking for her, noticed her and smiled. He was happy that she seemed to have a good time but when he approached her his smile turned into a worried frown.
"Eighteen?" What's wrong?" He asked gently touching her arm. She didn't respond at first, seemingly deep in thought but then she blinked and registered him standing in front of her.
"I'm fine." But the small waver in her voice told him otherwise. She cleared her throat and repeated her response. Krillin wasn't entirely convinced yet though.
"You don't look okay to me, did something happen?"
"I said, I'm fine, just let it go." She snapped harsher than intended. She rubbed her temples letting out a sigh.
"I want to go home." She said softly.
"Alright, help me get Master Roshi and Oolong to the air-car and we can go."
"Wait, you don't have to go. I can find my way out." But Krillin shook his head at her.
"No, we all came together so we are leaving together, plus I'm really sorry to say it but you really don't look too good, I will never forgive myself if I let something happen to you on your way home." With that he motioned her to follow him. He said his goodbyes to his friends who really didn't pay them any attention, with the exception of Gohan who hugged him and Chichi who was rocking a sleeping Goten. Piccolo and Dende had already left earlier.
"Come by the mountain sometime soon! You too Eighteen." The teen said turning to the blond haired woman who nodded at him.
Krillin shook his head at his master.
"Seriously, what is the fun in drinking so much you can hardly walk straight?"
"Hmmnnggg?" Master Roshi replied to which Krillin just grimaced. Eighteen was dragging Oolong by his shirt collar.
"Hey! Careful, I'm dewicate, the lladies love me you know! Gotta keep in good sssshape for them!" The pig yelled in a high pitched voice. Eighteen snarled at him which effectively shut him up.
"Oh, you're leaving?" Bulma asked when she emerged from the house.
"Yeah it's about time to get these two home." Krillin answered with a shrug.
"Thanks for the party, it was fun."
"Thank you both for coming, see you soon!" Bulma said with a small wave before turning back towards her other guests. They loaded the two other occupants of Kame island into the backseat of the air-car before they both got in the front.
"I'd drop you off, but I don't know where your brother lives." Krillin started. Eighteen was staring out of the window not really paying attention to him though she had heard him.
"Kame Island is fine, I can make it home from there."
"Alright." Krillin turned the radio on, the soft music filled the silence around them which was occasionally disturbed by a small grunt or noise from the backseat.
He stole worried glances at Eighteen, the color in her face had returned slightly but she still looked shaken up. He wondered what had happened or what she ate that might have made her feel sick.
He reached over with his free hand and gently grabbed a hold of her wrist, softly rubbing his thumb over the soft skin on the back of her hand.
She let out a soft sigh.
"Stop worrying, I'm alright."
"Sorry, can't help it." Krillin steered the air-car towards the small island which had come into view. He let go of her wrist to concentrate on the landing. When they were safe on the ground he glanced in the back seat, both Roshi and Oolong were snoring their heads off.
"Disgusting." Eighteen remarked. "I'm not picking either of them up, just leave them in here." She suggested with a small grin. "That'll certainly teach them to get this drunk."
Krillin mulled this over, it was very tempting to just go along with what she said, he didn't feel like hoisting them up the stairs either.
"Hm, I might just do that." He said closing the door behind him after he got out too. There was quite a breeze blowing on the small island, Eighteen tugged her hair behind her ears but it didn't really stay put. Walking up to the shoreline she stuck her hands into the pockets of her jeans. Krillin joined her.
"What did you eat? That way I might be prepared for something making me feel bad." He wondered out loud. Eighteen shrugged her shoulders.
"I didn't eat anything, just drank some water earlier."
She turned to face him, letting out a soft sigh she sat down on the warm sand motioning for Krillin to do the same. But instead of sitting beside her as she had expected, he sat behind her, stretching his legs out on each side of her. He gently tugged her backwards until she was leaning against him. His arms snaked their way around her middle as he held her close.
Eighteen stiffened slightly, this was new. But she relaxed in his arms, scooting down just a little so she could comfortable rest the back of her head against his shoulder.
She smiled, she had missed their closeness today not really making physical contact at the party, not seeing the need displaying such gestures in front of his friends. Then she proceeded to tell him about her asking Bulma about the remote.
"That room, it made me feel uneasy, that's all." She finished, leaving out how it had provoked some very dark memories. She didn't feel the need to tell him about that at the moment. She probably would someday though, if she felt comfortable enough to do so, already knowing that Krillin wouldn't judge her for it.
Krillin mulled her words over in his mind. He put one and one together and guessed those laboratories Bulma and her dad managed must have triggered something but when Eighteen didn't elaborate further he let it go. If she wanted to tell him, she would. He wouldn't force her even if his curiosity sometimes got the best of him.
He gently stroked her hair, the wind was whipping it around slightly, tickling his face when it made contact.
"Alright. But despite that, did you have fun today? It wasn't too bad right?" He asked softly.
Eighteen shook her head. "Not really, I guess they're alright. It went better than I would have expected to be honest." She turned her head slightly so she could look at him. "Though I am curious, what all did you tell them about me?" She narrowed her eyes at him causing Krillin to swallow slightly.
"Nothing bad! I swear, just good things like I've said before."
"Like what?"
"Hmm, well like how you can kick my butt in a spar but always take care of me afterward. How you're not a bad person but rather interesting to be with. And today I boasted about us being together of course!" He said with a chuckle. "Some of them didn't want to believe it at first but I don't care, I know the truth." Krillin nuzzled her temple for a moment.
"Also I kept telling them to give you a chance, so they could see what a wonderful person you are and they finally took it I think. Though they might have forgotten about you being there today after they all wake up with the world's worst hangover." He grinned at that.
"So glad I kept it at lemonade and juice today, I don't really like to drink much in the first place anyway."
Eighteen nodded in agreement. "But it was kind of amusing seeing some of them do stupid stuff. If anything, I don't mind some free entertainment." She grinned.
He smiled down on her, he had a feeling everything would work out just fine, it wouldn't be long before Eighteen was a full member of the group even if she herself didn't see it that way.
"Hm, but I'd rather stare at you than their stupid antics." He mused. Eighteen blushed despite herself. Sometimes she didn't really know how to react to his blunt honesty when it came to her. It was obvious he was smitten with her, it showed in everything he did.
She observed a small blush forming on his face under her gaze. She reached up with her hand and touched his cheek.
Something was happening, she could practically feel the air shift around them as Krillin leaned into her touch, his black eyes locked onto her blue ones in an intense staring match that made her heart race for some reason.
Krillin swallowed thickly when he felt her fingers tangle themselves in his hair.
"Eighteen..." He murmured quietly as his hand found her cheek, he softly rubbed a thumb over her warm skin before dipping his head downwards completely, pressing his lips to hers in a soft kiss, planning on keeping it short and sweet. But he was totally caught off guard when Eighteen leaned up into it and kissed him back, her mouth roaming over his in small tingly sweeps that rocked his very core. He had dreamed of this moment so many times but all those dreams paled considerably in comparison with the real thing.
Eighteen drifted into the moment, she could feel him pulling her closer, her other hand curled itself in his shirt as she turned her body slightly towards him. The movement caused them both to fall back into the soft sand.
A soft sound could be heard when they parted, both blushing and semi breathless from the intensity of the moment.
Krillin stared up at her with a smile on his red colored face.
"So much better than in my dreams." He whispered tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. Eighteen was still leaning on him but he didn't mind. He was just savoring this sweet moment and their closeness.
A loud thump startled the both of them, turning their gaze towards the house they saw that Oolong had somehow opened the door of the air-car and had fallen out. They both watched curiously as the pig rolled in the sand for a few second before seemingly having found a comfortable spot and snoring away loudly again. They carefully stood up.
"Geesh." Krillin said shaking his head as he prodded the sleeping pig with his foot.
"Totally out cold again." He peeked into the backseat and found master Roshi curled up with his legs stretched out.
"He probably kicked him out." He said surprised. Eighteen shrugged as she suppressed a sudden yawn. She mentally counted the days she had gone without sleep which had been quite a few. She should go home but strangely didn't feel like it.
Krillin felt sleep tug at him too, it was probably already very late considering it had been after midnight when they left the party. He stifled a yawn behind his hand before walking towards Eighteen who was staring out over the ocean again. Her face was still slightly flustered when she turned to glance down on him.
"I guess, I'll go home now." She said softly.
"It's getting pretty late though, you don't have to go. You are free to use the spare room and crash here." Krillin offered. "As far as we're concerned, it's still yours."
Eighteen smiled, she had known he would make that suggestion, he had done it before but this time she felt like taking him up on the offer. She was tired yes, but she could easily make the trip back to the cabin if she wanted, she just really didn't want too.
"Alright."
Krillin flashed her a smile.
"Well then, I guess we should go to sleep. I'm about to fall over as it is." He looked back over his shoulder to Oolong who was still snoring loudly.
"I guess I'll leave them outside, it's nice out anyway." He joked before turning back to look up at Eighteen.
"It won't really hurt them."
Eighteen nodded at that.
"Come on, let's go inside, I can lend you a shirt to sleep in if you want?" Krillin asked motioning for her to follow him. Eighteen arched her brow at that.
"I doubt your shirts will fit me." She said with a grin but Krillin waved her notion away dismissively.
"I have some that are a little big on me and besides, from the waist up we're not that different in height, you are just blessed with longer legs than me."
He lead her up the stairs towards his room where he quickly grabbed a long red shirt from his drawers.
"Here you go."
Eighteen took the shirt and held it in front of her body, from the way it fell it looked like it would actually cover her up just enough as it reached a little above mid thigh. She smiled before kissing his cheek softly.
"Goodnight." She whispered before making her way up the second set of stairs, Krillin just watched her go with a lazy half smile on his flustered face.
END of this chapter.
This was so much fun to write and I originally had even more added after this last scene but I felt it was already so long. So that part will be added to the next chapter. It seems I might have to add an extra chapter to this story maybe, we'll see. Originally I have thirteen chapters planned and set up...
I hope this chapter lived up to your expectations, please don't hesitate to tell me alright?
Here is an excerpt from the next chapter.
He narrowed his eyes at the small man before him who was visibly sweating under his intense glare. Inward, Seventeen was enjoying himself immensely but knew he had to hurry up before his sister would reappear. He knew she would get mad at him if she found out what he was doing to her precious boyfriend.
"Tch." He sneered.
"Relax a little will you, It's not like I'm going to kill you, not yet at least."
Show me love 11; Visits. (This time the title will not change hopefully! :) )
