The way I'd describe this sensation would be similar to what I'd imagine standing in the middle of a wind tunnel feels like. Except I was being held tightly to a massive human shield. I could hardy enjoy the fact that every inch of my body was being held to his, and my cheek was planted right into his chest. However despite the other-worldly events taking place, and there were probably more to come, I could honestly say that I wasn't scared or nervous. For someone who's been a slave to anxiety for years this was an incredibly odd feeling. Maybe it had to do with things finally making sense….And I was about to get some answers….Or maybe it was because I was with Goku….?
All of a sudden the loud whistling in my ears disappeared and was replaced with a steady beating heart. It was Goku's. My body gradually lost all its tension as I melted into his arms. What in the world…how does this fucking happen? Why is it so hard controlling myself around him? Every single cell in my body wanted nothing more than to stay this close to him. UGH GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF LUNA! Reluctantly, I gently pushed my head off of Goku's body. His arm remained around my shoulders, the warmth he emitted was so welcoming…
It was the colossal tree towering us that grabbed my attention first. I suddenly became aware of my surroundings and my breath was caught. I tilted my head all the way back to gaze up at the tree in the sky; I could see no end to it. The sky behind it was tinted purple and contained multiple moons scattered throughout the endless scenery.
"Is all this…real?" I was barely about to choke out. The atmosphere here…I can't explain it but it feels far different from the one on Earth. I couldn't take my eyes off the sky and the beautiful, full clouds that swirled above us. I hadn't been paying attention to Goku but he remained still with me. I wondered how much time had gone by as I remained awestruck at our surroundings. I diverted my attention from the magnificent spectacle and allowed Goku to come into focus, and what I saw after that was the most magnificent. His soft eyes were gazing down at me and he wore the most gentle of smiles. It wasn't long before a red color began to appear on his cheeks and his eyes quickly darted away from mine. His embarrassment was too obvious to overlook as he hovered his face with his free hand. The other remained around my shoulder.
"Sorry haha…I keep forgetting that you're still sort of new to these things. Hehehe!" He widely grinned down at me; he was practically glowing with the tinted pink sky behind him.
"This is where Lord Beerus lives! We talked about him before remember? He—"
"Was the guy who knocked you into the next universe right?" I cut him off the second I was able to remember who Lord Beerus was. It didn't surprise me in the slightest that he was smiling at me again. I grinned back at him. So this "god" I'm about to meet is basically responsible for Goku and I meeting…I pondered thanking the deity…Nah I'd get too embarrassed if I did. But in my mind the fact was impossible to forget. Goku saved my life, in more ways than one.
"Exactly," he continued, clasping onto both of my shoulders with his large hands. "He should have some answers to the questions you have and most importantly he'll be able to confirm that you are a Saiyan."
"Goku—dropping by unannounced as per usual." A melodic voice suddenly appeared behind us.
His garments were out of this world to say the least. He possessed human features, a blue skin tone, and gleaming white hair that stood tall atop his head. As I observed the foreign entity his unimpressed eyes were looking my direction.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you Luna." The extra terrestrial bowed slightly towards me. It took a second to snap out of my daze of realization; if beings like Goku existed then it only made sense that others like Whis did as well.
"Uh..yes likewise. Sorry if it takes me a second to process of all this. I'm only human you know?" I responded with an attempt to keep a light atmosphere. Whis chuckled softly, lifting a hand to his mouth in order to hide his smile.
"Or so that's what you've been raised to believe." A much deeper voice bellowed from inches behind me. I whipped my head around to find barren space. Then back to Whis who was now standing behind a creature that strongly resembled a hairless cat, with purple elastic skin, and garments just as otherworldly as Whis'. For a second I had forgotten the purpose of this visit…I had barely a moment to ponder Goku's previous claim. It was beginning to sound ridiculous actually. How could I really be a Saiyan?
"To be completely honest I never expected to be making your acquaintance this soon, Luna." He bowed his head towards me, I assumed this must be the Beerus I've been hearing about.
"Allow me to be completely honest myself but I'm being thrown for a loop here. In what other circumstance would we have met?" I blurted, catching his noticeable ear twitch.
"I understand you're eager for answers but as you may have heard I am a God of Destruction and expect to be treated as such." Admittedly I was drawn back by his words and even a little scared. I was way out of line…What am I even doing here?…Am I in danger?
My heart began its ritualistic palpations, I could feel myself slipping, I was about to lose it. I couldn't keep up with my own thoughts, I was gaping but the words couldn't find my mouth. Then like a fucking bus I was hit with instant blanket of warm silk that traced my body. Goku's hand was enclosed over my shoulder and he drew me nearer to his torso.
"That's on me Lord Beerus, sorry about that! I'm really not all that great at explaining things." He addressed to the God. I was brought back to reality the second Beerus met his eyes with mine. I instantly gave him an apologetic nod. Goku's thumbs were shifting over my shoulder, and just like that my anxiety was gone. I felt completely safe.
