~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NEW POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beerus and Whis resumed their eavesdropping on Goku and Luna's conversation.
"You know Whis this isn't even how I had expected things to pan out. This is much better though." Lord Beerus sneered peering down into the scepter
"Well what had you been expecting?" Whis asked momentarily looking away from the scene to face Beerus.
"Does that girl not look familiar to you at all Whis?"
"Hm now that you mention it I do feel as if I have seen her somewhere…" Whis trailed off as he fell into deep thought. Beerus just grinned beside him, rather pleased with himself.
"*gasp* I had nearly forgotten about her! Has it been 20 years already? Well this is certainly going to get interesting Lord Beerus, I applaud your craftiness. However I am not sure if this punishment necessarily fits Goku's crime…"
"A God of Destruction is hardly ever fair Whis. Besides I am quite interested in seeing where this goes…"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Regular POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Had I broken the great saiyan Goku? Could he have been affected this severely? By things that I said?! He's been starring into space for such a long time, I really just wanted to know what he was thinking. I couldn't help but feel a bit of relief when Goku confirmed that he was not in love with his wife. A small part of me believed that I now had a chance with the saiyan warrior but the rational part of me knew that it was way too early to tell and he was part of another universe after all. It was naive and dumb of me to be having these thoughts anyway, I might have potentially just broke up a family from another world.
"You know she never even let me have a say in how our kids would be raised…" I was completely caught off guard when Goku had finally decided to start talking. I decided to keep my mouth shut as he continued.
"I'm trying to think of a time where I thought about her and only her, but I've always grouped her up with my family and friends. I can't say that she was exactly special besides being the mother of my kids. I want to experience love towards my partner but I couldn't relate to a single thing you mentioned Luna. Is there something wrong with me? Am I a bad father for not loving my wife?" He was now piercing me with his glistening dark eyes.
"What you're experiencing is much more common than you can possibly imagine Goku, don't be so hard on yourself; you have no fault in this. I hope you don't mind me asking, but how many women have you been with?"
"I have only ever been with Chichi. When we were kids I apparently promised to marry her when we grew up and she held that against me until we wed." He said nonchalantly. My jaw dropped, he wore a genuinely confused look on his face. This explained so much.
"Goku, it is completely understandable that you feel the way you do about Chichi. You were basically forced into marriage! How many dates did you go on before you got married?" I couldn't believe that this beautiful massive man had only ever been in one relationship, has never experienced love towards his mate and here I was revealing what it was to love and be loved by someone. Oh and he was so insanely cute that I might've potentially fallen for him already.
"What's a date?" He was wearing another cute confused look. What was with this man? He was definitely one of a kind, this whole time I have never picked up a single negative vibe from him. He acted so innocently, with his looks and personality you could never guess that he was old enough to be married with two kids.
"Goku how do things even work in your world? Because in mine people go on dates, small outings with each other that involve things like eating out, going to the movies, etcetera. You gradually get to know each other and discover what exactly attracts you to one another. There's really nothing quite like it…The excitement of getting to see each other again and wondering what they were going to say next or whether that was going to be the day when they finally kiss you. Before you know it that person is on your mind all the time and all of a sudden you're a million times happier than you were before that person came into your life. Then nothing is more important to you than that special person. Finally you can feel it in your heart and soul without a single microscopic doubt that you want that person in your life forever, and you decide to get married…" I starred past Goku's head in my own fantasy, I could feel my eyes had become watery. It had been years since I experienced the excitement of finding love and I dearly missed it. What I had been feeling now with Goku has been painfully similar to developing a crush but I had to convince myself that it was pointless. Goku would never fall in love with someone like me. I had too many problems that no one would want to handle. Most importantly he was so pure. A trait I was far from achieving and I could never bring myself to taint his amazing character with my impurities.
"It gives me a heavy feeling seeing you cry Luna…" His words shook me, I hadn't noticed how long I had been in thought. Slowly I watched him raise his right hand towards me, the warm skin of his palm was suddenly pressed against my face. Gently his thumb skid beneath my lower lash, wiping away my tears that had finally ceased. My heart was now pounding as I savored the affectionate gesture. His illuminating eyes were looking directly into mine, I had no words. For the first time in so long I was being comforted…for some reason Goku actually understood me. He recognized the good I was doing and truly recognized the pain I was in. I finally didn't feel so alone…I was overcome with an unfamiliar wave of happiness. My hands were suddenly grasping onto Goku's arm that continued to hold my face.
"This is it! Luna, this is the distinct energy I've been telling you about! Please tell me what this is…" Goku's words immediately pulled me out of the trance I was in. Embarrassed, I dropped my hands from his arm. Fuck I had to be more cautious, it was too easy letting Goku affect me. I was probably just making a fool out of myself, I wonder what he thinks of me now…I'm so fucking stupid. How am I supposed to respond to him now?!
My phone vibrated noisily on the table. I leaned over to grab it. IT WAS MY ALARM!
"Shit! It's 6am already?! I had no idea that much time had passed! Damien is out of work I have to go pick him up, fuck.." I had been so lost in this alter reality with Goku I didn't realized our time was limited. I guess it was finally time to say good bye to him…
"I guess that means I have to go now huh? Sorry for keeping you up so late and eating all your ramen." He rose out of his seat as I followed suit. My heart had sunk, it felt so good being around Goku even if my feelings towards him were meaningless. He was so easy to talk to…if only he were from this world, it would make me happy even just being his close friend.
"Don't worry about it Goku. I really enjoyed your company, more than I expected to. Thank you for listening to my insignificant other worldly problems by the way, you helped me in ways you might not realize." I admitted, smiling at him.
"Haha you know this is the first I see you smile! It's a beautiful one too..I hope you continue you to do so more often. I know you don't think so highly of yourself but you really have a wonderful heart Luna." The next thing I knew Goku's hand was touching the small of my back and my face was only inches away from his muscular chest that escaped his orange uniform. He gently kissed the top of my head.
"You may not realize it either, but you've done a lot for me today as well. Thank you, Luna. I'll see you again." Then just like that, as abruptly as he had come, he was gone.
