Chapter fourteen: lovesickness

It's been ten days since Trunks and Pan were separated. Trunks threw himself into his work trying to keep his mind off Pan. To deal with his aggression, his father forced him forced to train any time he wasn't at work. Being away from Pan had led to Trunks becoming weaker, eating less, and to have trouble sleeping, but according to his father, if Pan hadn't given him her bandana he'd be on his death dead. Bra had informed them, Pan had been absent from school the last four days, and the last day she had attended she had look dehydrated and frail.

Chi-Chi was not happy with her son. She knew he got his stubbornness from her, but she wasn't going to loss her only granddaughter over it. Gohan and Videl had taken Pan to four different doctors, but they were no help. Pan had been given IVs, vitamins, and medications, but she kept getting sicker. "Gohan, she needs Trunks. I am not going to pretend that I understand this saiyan mating thing, but I do understand that my beautiful grandbaby is dying. Let her see him. It's the only thing you haven't tried," demanded Chi-Chi.

"She's right Gohan. If just being around Trunks for a short period of time helps, we can make it work. We can set some rules to make sure they behave appropriately at least until Pan is old enough for this type of relationship," assured Videl rubbing her husband's shoulders. Gohan looked like he hadn't slept in days. He wanted to protect his daughter, but in reality he might be what's killing her.

"Okay," Gohan caved. He let out a sigh. "I'm not leaving them alone together though," he snapped.

Chi-Chi ignored his snapping and ran to call Bulma to set something up.

Videl now wrapped her arms around Gohan's shoulders and kissed his cheek She knew he only wanted what was best for their little girl.

"Trunks!" yelled Bulma as she ran up the stairs to find her son.

"Yes?" yelled Trunks exiting his room to see his mother with a large smile on her face.

"We're having guests at dinner tonight," she announced.

Trunks rolled his eyes. He didn't feel like entertaining any of his mother's or grandmother's friends tonight. "I'll pass mom," he answered as he started to reenter his room.

"Even if it's the Sons?" asked Bulma with her smile widening.

He froze. "Pan's coming over?" his eyes grew wide.

"Yes, Chi-Chi said Pan has been very sick, but the doctors haven't been able to help. So they are hoping a little time with you will help her," explained Bulma. Trunks nodded his head vigorously and went to shower and dress nice. He couldn't wait to see Pan.

The Sons entered Capsule Corp around mid afternoon. Pan looked frail. Her ki was extremely low and her face was void of its usual smile. Trunks ran down the stairs as soon as he heard the door. A soft smile came to Pan's face when she saw Trunks. Trunks immediately pulled Pan into a tight hug ignoring Gohan's loud growl.

"It's just a hug Gohan, calm down," Chi-Chi groaned shaking her head at her son.

Pan and Trunks stayed close to one another holding hands most of the night.

After dinner, Gohan cleared his throat gaining everyone's attention. "Pan seems to be in better health in just the few hours we've been here," observed Gohan. Pan held Trunks' hand tighter fearing they would be separated again. "I don't want her health to fade again, so Videl and I have decided that you two will be allowed to see each other. However you both will have to follow our rules," said Gohan in a stern voice. Pan smiled widely and nodded.

Trunks smiled softly, "I want to be with Pan, so I'll do whatever I need to."

"Good, you'll have to spend time together frequently enough to keep each other in good health. When you spend time together a chaperone will be there at all times. Videl or I must sign off on all the plans you to make together. Pan, you will not sneak out to see him. Trunks, you will not do any thing inappropriate with my daughter or date any of your floozies, if you want to be allowed anywhere near my daughter," announced Gohan.

Trunks growled at him. "You shouldn't believe everything you read Gohan. I haven't been on a date since before the Grand Tour. You want to know why Gohan! Because I love your daughter," Trunks snapped at Gohan. Bra and Bulma looked shocked to hear that at Trunks hadn't been on a date in so long. Pan blushed at his public declaration of his love for her. Gohan raised an eyebrow.

"Did something happen between you and my daughter out in space?" asked Gohan his ki starting to rise.

"Papa, nothing happened. We did kiss once, but it wasn't a romance kinda thing. And I was kind of the one to instigate it," Pan defended. Gohan looked surprised. Why had she wanted to kiss Trunks, but he accepted her answer.

"Do you agree to our rules?" asked Videl.

"Yes," quickly answered Trunks looking down to Pan. She was clinging to his arm. She looked much more like her old self now.

"Pan?" questioned her mother.

"Yes Mama, I agree to the rules," she answered softly.

Soon the Sons left taking Pan with them. Bra stared at Trunks. He looked healthy again, and all he needed was Pan. "Hey Trunks, Grandma Bunny and I are both happy to chaperone anytime," she told him giving him a hug.

"Thanks, sis"

Over the next month, Pan came over to Capsule Corp pretty regularly. Bra and Bunny were happy to chaperone. Gramps ( ) even chaperoned a time or two. Even though they had been mates for almost six weeks, they had barely been allowed/able to kiss. The Briefs approved of the couple, but Trunks and Pan both felt awkward to kiss in front of a chaperone.

Goten came over to visit Trunks. "What's up?" Goten asked as he flopped down on the couch in Trunks' bedroom.

"Not much, just wishing I was with Panny," answered Trunks lying on his bed.

"No date tonight?" asked Goten looking pretty surprised.

"No one will be home tonight, so we can't have our usual date night," Trunks answered with a sigh.

"That sucks man," Goten felt bad for his best friend. Goten had Rini, and no one could stop him from spending time with her. There was a knock on the bedroom door. Before Trunks could answer, Goten yelled, "Come in!" Trunks shook his head at his friend. Rini walked into the room.

"Goten this isn't your house, so don't act like it is," she lectured him.

"Hey Rini," smiled Trunks.

"Hey Trunks, What are you and Pan's plan for tonight?" asked Rini as she turned her attention to the man on the bed.

"No plan, no chaperone, no date," he answered gloomily.

"But you wish you did right?" she asked looking eager.

"Of course, it would mean I could see Pan"

"Kay, I got this," Rini pulled out her phone and made a call. "Hi Gohan, I heard that Pan's time with Trunks got canceled due to no chaperones…So if Goten and I chaperone a movie night at my place, could Pan go? … Someone will be in the room at all times, okay…will do! Bye," she hung up the phone. "Movie night my place 6pm-11pm. Goten pick up Pan and meet me there," she ordered as she left Trunks' room waving to them as she left.

"Okay…" responded Goten as she left.

"She has you whipped," smiled Trunks.

"She may, but hey she fixed your date," shrugged Goten rolling off the couch and onto the floor.

"Yeah, sorry if I ruined any plans you two had tonight," said Trunks started to get ready for his date.

"Not really, Rini and I were just going to hang out and maybe watch some TV, so no big plans are changed," Goten had now bothered to stand and was trying to decide when to leave to get Pan.

Rini and Trunks were waiting on Goten and Pan at Rini's home. "Thanks by the way Rini," Trunks gave her a soft smile.

"No problem, Pan's a friend and you are too, so I'm happy to help," said Rini as she started pulling out a movie snacks. Goten appeared in the living room via instant transmission with Pan. Pan rushed to Trunks. He immediately pulled Pan to his chest in a tight hug. Goten snickered at their affection earning a slap from Rini. The movie night went well. The two saiyans were even given a little alone time when Rini pulled Goten to help in the kitchen. Though technically Rini and Goten never left the room since Rini's home was open concept. She was keeping her word to Gohan, but she knew they wanted a little alone time. It wasn't like she was going to let them do it on her couch, but letting them kiss a little was innocent enough. Goten just followed her lead. The night was a success, so Goten and Rini were now on the date chaperone list.
