Things had been going pretty good for Gohan and Zangya they both had recovered fully from their injuries and had slowly become more comfortable with one another. Gohan still had not managed to get Zangya to open up entirely but he had found out some of the smaller things about her life and the two were able to have short conversations as long as it never got too personal.
Gohan panted heavily as he floated in midair as sweat dripped off his face before charging forward and attacked an invisible enemy as he threw a combo of punches before switching it with kicks and launched a few energy blasts. Gohan continued his training for hours on end each day as he found that there was not much to do on the planet especially considering Zangya was the only person he could talk to and was not a very open person.
Of the few things he had found out about her, he found it very odd that whenever he went to train, she never wanted to join him. And also that he actually had not seen her train once since they had arrived which he found confusing considering how strong she actually was but never bothered asking as he knew he would never get a satisfying answer.
Gohan was about to continue his training but stopped as he saw the fluctuating light which he knew was Zangya, which caused Gohan to sigh. He had felt seen every day for the past 5 days ever since he had begun his training, the first day he had seen it he had checked to see what she was doing but found her just sitting against a tree quietly confusing him. His first instinct was to go over to her and ask her what she was doing but decided against it, as the two did not know or trust each other very well.
Gohan was about to continue his training as he had normally done but decided against it "Enough, I need to figure out what is up with her. Besides it's really starting to bother me" thought Gohan with a smirk before he blasted off towards Zangya.
Zangya lay on the ground on her back staring up at the sky, with a blank look on her face. Zangya was so lost in thought that she didn't notice Gohan until the last second before he landed behind her. Zangya quickly stood up and turned to face Gohan and was about to ask him what he was doing here but was cut off.
Gohan saw the intense look on her face "You okay" he asked simply.
Zangya was silent at the question for a while before finally answering "Ya I'm okay."
"Are you sure?" asked Gohan knowing she really wasn't.
Zangya grew irritated at that "Ya. I'm okay… I'm okay my whole race is dead except for assholes who killed everyone I have ever known. I'm okay that I'm stranded on an unknown random planet with some kid who thinks he knows everything. And is a mister perfect, who doesn't know how it feels to be forced to kill thousands of people hated by billions of people and will probably be sent to hell when I die" yelled out Zangya as she let out everything she had been feeling.
Gohan stared at the seething girl staring at her calmly as he absorbed each hate-filled word and stayed a quiet for a while before responding "Your right. I don't know exactly how you feel. I don't know what it's like to kill innocent people but let me tell you something and get everything straight right now" said Gohan in a calm voice that was barely controlling the anger he felt.
Zangya stared at the boy in front of her as she continued to seethe "Ya right this is going to be good" thought Zangya in malice.
"Don't think my life and I'm perfect by any means. Why do you think I'm as strong as I am, it wasn't because I found it fun as a child to put myself through grueling punishment when I was 4 years old. Do you know why I did it? It was because my father had just died and two enemies were coming to my home planet to destroy it and I had to protect it. I have been spending my whole life since I was a child watch as the people I love die in front of me constantly. No matter how hard are tried to protect them. And recently I just saved my entire planet only to be transported to another timeline with no way to get back or any idea if I will see any of my loved ones ever again. Beyond that my entire race has just been killed with less than ten survivors, while at the same time doing everything I possibly can to stop myself and anyone else to go to earth to see my father and mother even if they are children in case I affect their lives and cause harm in any possible way, no matter how much I actually want to" said Gohan in a big burst as he let out everything that he had unknowingly been feeling for years.
The two stared at one another as they let each word they had said to one another sink in before they both turned their gazes to the ground in sadness. They both were quite for a while before turning their attention to one another and spoke at the same time "Sorry" before becoming quite again.
The two had been quite for a bit before Gohan was the first to talk "I'm sorry".
Zangya nodded "Me too."
"I guess I had a lot of stuff built up," said Gohan
The two became quite once more before Gohan spoke up and voiced an idea he had "How about this. We both have a lot of stuff we need to deal with emotionally, so how about we help each other out work through it" said Gohan.
Zangya stared curiously at Gohan before smiling and nodded her head in agreement "Ok. Would you like to start now?"
"Sher why not. It's not like we have anywhere to be. Besides maybe after this we can spar" Gohan said as he smirked in a challenging sort of way.
Zangya shook her head and laughed slightly which caught Gohan off guard before nodding "Ok".
The two walked over to a large tree and lay below it in the cool shade before they began. The two were quite not sure how to start before Zangya decided to go first.
"Umm well, I'm not really sure where to start," Zangya said awkwardly.
Gohan sat there for a second before responding "Well if you want how about, how you met Bojack" returned Gohan as he felt that was the best area to begin since that's where all of Zangya's bad emotions came from.
Zangya nodded as she explained how she had ended up joining Bojacks gang while Gohan listened intently to her story, never interrupting, just listening "... And about 3 months later our ship got this signal which was a video of your battle. When Bojack saw it he traced the signal back and for 3 months followed it back here" Zangya explained as she then went into more depth of what happened about how she started training harder whenever she had the time to get strong enough to kill them.
Gohan listened quietly and attentively to the whole story in understanding.
The two talked with one another helping each other work through their problems as Gohan told her about his life and his own emotional problems. The two spent the entire day working through their issues before it hit nightfall.
"Wow, I guess I didn't even realize how long we've been talking," said Gohan as the two stared up at the pitch black night sky where stars and planets surrounded them.
"Ya neither did I, I guess we should head back to the cave to get some sleep," said Zangya.
"Ya, we should" Gohan responded with a smile as he got up and stretched out a bit.
"Thank you. Gohan" Zangya muttered suddenly.
Gohan was shocked for a second before smiling and nodding back to her with a smile

It had been two weeks since the Saiyan and Hera warriors had crash landed on the unknown planet and a lot had changed since then, both were a lot more open and happy with one another, each showing much more emotion than they were willing to share before. They constantly talked about anything and everything that their minds were drawn to and had started daily sparring sessions that Gohan had managed to get Zangya to participate in. Things had changed significantly for the two and both were a lot happier than they had been for a long time.
Gohan of course still missed his friend's and was still working on a plan to get off the planet but was also enjoying the peace and quiet that he now had.
The two were currently fighting in the sky as Gohan attacked with a sharp punch that Zangya blocked and responded with her own that rocked Gohan's chin hard before following up with a kick. Gohan regained his boundary's and grabbed the kick before sending her flying and sent two blue energy blasts flying close behind.
Zangya sensed the attacks coming and used the throw to spin and kick both blasts away before turning around and charging Gohan, who did the same.
The two clashed in the middle with Zangya slowly gaining ground as her power was rising higher than his, forcing him to go Super Saiyan and quickly to the advantage.
Zangya did the best she could as she raised her power to her maximum but as the battle continued she was the one that was sent crashing to the ground first.
Both fighters were breathing deeply as they lay on the ground to relax in the calm atmosphere after the fierce fight.
"You're getting better," said Gohan with a smile.
"Ya right, I felt it. You're still holding back a lot" said Zangya with mock anger but a small cheer in her voice she couldn't cover up.
"Well, I guess you need to train some more" Gohan said in arrogantly.
"Sure sure. Mr. Super Saiyan. How about we fight without transformations" Zangya replied with a smirk.
The two continued to banter back and forth before they decided to lie back quietly and bask in the calming nature surrounding them. Both fighters dozed off in a deep, peaceful sleep under the warm sun that shined over the field. The two slept for a few hours as the sun went down and the chilling night sky took over the warm blue atmosphere that was once was upon them. The two bodies shivered slightly as they rolled back and forth both searching for something warm in the cold darkness before they touched one another.
Gohan held Zangya before pulling her into his arms while Zangya returned the favor before placing her head on his chest and was lulled into a deeper sleep as the two warmed one another.

It was a few hours later that the two woke up, but was still very early in the day that the sun had not come up yet, as the pitch black sky was out only have small bits of light coming from the stars around them. Gohan woke up groggily his head lay among incredibly soft, silky pillow. While his arms held a warm blanket with incredibly smooth and warm parts on it that moved slightly when he ran his hands on it. Gohan was in his sleepy state flung his eyes open at the realization of what he had just thought and was met with the sight of orange covering every part of his vision. Gohan pulled back lightly and gasped in surprise but tried to stay as still as possible as not to wake his sleeping partner that he had apparently started to cuddle with some time, in the night.
Gohan was unsure to do and thought best that he should pull back and move away before she woke up as he didn't want to anger her. Gohan slowly slid one arm out from under her as best as he could as not to cause Zangya any discomfort. Gohan was half way and was up to his wrist when she moved over a bit and grabbed onto Gohan's arm that had been draped over her. Gohan was about to continue but froze when he heard the one thing that he was trying to avoid.
"Gohan," said Zangya groggily as she woke up from her deep sleep.
Gohan was scared and started talking as fast as he could trying to explain the situation that Zangya didn't understand at all but slowly came to an understanding at the nervous look on his face and the position that she realised that they were now in.
Zangya smiled before lying back down and pulling him back down with her "Whatever kid" she muttered as she went back into her peaceful sleep.
Gohan looked at her in shock before shrugging his shoulders and decided not to question it before lying back down and snuggled up against Zangya and pulling her closer before going back to bed.
