~hello readers! thank you for your patience! I've been trying to adjust to my new work and school schedule and I've just been more exhausted than usual. I'd very much like to continue this story as often as I use to, please bare with me. Enjoy!~
All I could do was remind myself that the universe was out to get me. I fumbled my hair up into a pony tail as I continued to profusely throw up the remaining contents of my stomach into the porcelain bowl. Hands shaking, I wiped my chin clean with the back of my hand and flushed the toilet.
Fuck! I couldn't stop replaying the horrific scene in my head where I screamed at Goku, asking him to go on a date with me. How desperate was I actually? My heart rate hadn't slowed down a second since I asked him out. Overall I just felt horrible, ah and so overwhelmed. Initially I thought that my nerves had triggered my sudden sensation to throw up, but it was probably the hangover. How did you even fucking get here Luna? How had so much happened within the last 24 hours? The situation was so surreal. Goku was out there right now, hopefully being given a proper explantation of what a "date" was, and I had to be experiencing my first hang over right now? Holy shit I have a date with Goku…within seconds I was on my knees gagging into the toilet again.
"Luna it's me. Is it ok if I come in?" Goku's voice startled me from behind the restroom door. The thought of him seeing me in this state felt like a literal punch to the gut.
"Uh trust me you don't want to see this…" I replied in a strained tone, attempting to stand.
"Well can you eat this for me please? It'll make you feel better in no time." What looked like a small green peanut slid underneath the door to me. Holding it between my fingers I examined it closely, trying to figure out what it was exactly.
"What is this?" I called out to Goku.
"Just eat it, it'll restore your energy. You'll be needing it if we're going on a date today!" I had taken a direct hit in my chest, his last remark literally knocked the air out of me. Here it comes…anxiety came rolling in black clouds. For a second there Goku had given me an excitement that I hadn't felt in years, and it was hopeful. It was beautiful and stronger than anything I had ever felt so far. However the anxiety demon that possessed me wouldn't allow this feeling to last another second, and just as sudden as it came—it went. Instead being replaced by doubt, fear, and helplessness. I wasn't allowing myself to feel a happiness that powerful because I was all too familiar with the pain of disappoint that usually always followed. I had trained myself to disperse my expectations to simply avoid disappointment. I wouldn't compile incidents and instances of Goku implying his feelings towards me, I would make zero assumptions. IF he had any feelings for me that resembled mine for him, he'd have to clearly verbalize it. It was scary enough for me to have such strong feelings for him to begin with but I wasn't going to wreck my mind more than I already did over assumptions or clues that he has feelings for me. Despite everything though…I was going to take the date seriously. I still struggle with my anxiety but I had come a long way since I met him two years ago. I had to take advantage of this opportunity.
Taking one last look at the small round nut, I popped it in my mouth to find that it was chewable and tasteless. Within seconds my head became steady and I felt completely rejuvenated, as if I had just woken up from a 15 hour nap. I leapt to my feet and peered at my reflection. Color had returned to my face and I actually looked decent. Incredible! That nut had to have been from his universe or something because I have never felt this instantly energized ever! After washing my face and brushing my teeth with a complimentary toothbrush, I began to mentally prepare myself for what was to come. I took one last look at my reflection, straightening out my dress as much as possible and finger-combing through my hair, and opened the door.
Instantly I was face-to-face with the grinning saiyan.
"Hahaha I told you it would do the trick! Great to see you feeling better, I could feel the moment your power level shot up!" He exclaimed to me, mere inches from my face. Ok Luna just keep it cool, don't let your nerves get to you—Ah fuck there goes my heart rate. Say something you idiot!
"Y-yes I'm feeling a lot better. Thanks Goku…Being a hero really is your thing huh? Haha…" I said awkwardly. I fucking suck at this. Of course I was red at this point. Luna GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF NOW! He smiled at me and I met his eyes. Up until this point I had been avoiding them the way I tended to…but this time I was going to let myself bathe in them. I allowed myself to gaze at this dazzling smile and look into his glorious dark eyes that I only dreamt of seeing again. He was finally here with me again. I wasn't going to waste this opportunity a second time. I had to let go…I had to stop overthinking and take control…I had to let go of this demon…Just do what you feel is right…It was time to let my guard down.
And this time, without thinking, I threw my arms around him. I took delight in the warmth that emitted his body and pressed my cheek against neck. For reasons I couldn't begin to explain Goku had an enormous affect on me and from here on out I was just going to let him do it. And whatever I felt urged to do, I was going to give in—Just like I was now.
"I'm really happy you're here Goku…" I whispered rather close to his ear.
Then the strangest thing happened. I could have imagined it, but I knew immediately what it was when it occurred…It felt like a shiver? It was also impossible to ignore the temperature that was rising between our bodies.
His large hands were suddenly on my waist as he broke our connection and held me away from his body. Shocked, I kept my arms around his neck, and closely examined his expression. He was staring intensely at me. What was going on?
"Goku-"
"I knew it…" He cut me off before I could question him. I was now more confused than ever.
"What are you talking about?" I muttered. The anticipation was excruciating…there was no way he could have felt that also?
"Luna…WOW this is incredible!" He laughed, grabbing me from under my arms and lifting me above his head like nothing. I was in utter shock. I couldn't regain control of my mouth…no words were coming out. I watched him laughing from my new heights, I had never seen him this cheerful. Estelle appeared from the next room, wearing an expression that must have been similar to the one I also had at the moment.
"Uh what's going on?" She asked confused. Bless her, I still couldn't find my words.
"I wasn't sure at first but I was right! Luna's just like me!" He cheered. Immediately I latched tightly onto his hands that held me.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked sternly.
"You're a saiyan Luna!"
