The eyes of android 18 fluttered open tiredly. It took those chocolate brown orbs some time to adjust to the darkness that had descended in her room. Both her home and her neighborhood were eerily quiet; no sound was heard apart from the girl's soft breathing.

So what had woke her up? A quick glance at the clock sitting on her dresser showed twelve midnight. Sighing, she groaned and turned such that she was lying on her side. She couldn't figure out what had awakened her in the first place.

Tap. There, 18 realised that was why she was jolted awake: by a sound coming from her window. She bit her lower lip, suddenly feeling a wave of fear running through her. Who would be crazy enough to be doing this at midnight? Tap. A small pebble was thrown in the window and landed near her bed, the aim absolutely perfect. It made a tapping noise as it grazed the wooden floor.

Hesitantly, the girl sat up from her position, looking quizzically at the pebble lying on the floor. Bending down, she picked up one of the few pebbles on the floor, marveling at its smooth texture. Slowly, she made her way to the window, shuddering at the coldness of the wooden floor.

Peering through the curtains, 18 gasped. Standing on the front lawn was a very familiar looking short, bald human. Not only familiar, but it was her friend and part time lover Krillin. He was clad in black jacket and jeans. Quickly and without hesitation this time, she leaned her head out.

"18!" Relief spread through Krillin's face as he called out to her as loud as he dared. He made his way over such that he was directly under her window.

18 tried to bite back a smile. She glanced up briefly, seeing the moon hung briefly amidst the almost starless sky. Returning her attention back to Krillin. she asked.

"What are you doing here?" Her voice barely above a whisper, 18 couldn't believe what was happening at all. Was Krillin really at her apartment at midnight?

"Do you think you can let me in first?" Was the reply she got.

Without a word, she made her way downstairs, 18 hurriedly skipped all the way to the front door and unlocked it. Staring back at her was the caring eyes of her lover.

"Thanks babe." Krillin said gratefully.

18 simply smiled and nodded, still wondering why exactly Krillin was doing here at such a late hour. Wordlessly, the duo made their way up the stairs to 18's room after Krillin shrugged his jacket off. Slowly, 18 shut her room door and turned to Krillin, whom had switched on the dresser light. It lit the room with a soft glow, enabling both friends to see each other better.

The android took a seat at the edge of the bed, curiousity written all over her face.

"Krillin, what are you doing here?" She enquired, gesturing for the human Z fighter to take a seat next to her. The fighter in question smiled sheepishly, a warm smile that made 18's heart skip a beat.

"Well…About that." 18 could tell that Krillin was obviously hesitating to tell her.

"I couldn't sleep and decided to take a walk, and I guess my feet just found its way here." He finished lamely.

18 had to stifle a giggle. Cocking her head to the side, she raised her eyebrows, sending Krillin a 'yeah right, like I believe you' kind of look.

"Seriously Krillin, not that I don't like having unexpected company at midnight, but what are you here for?" She glanced at her friend pointedly.

Krillin shrugged, adjusting himself so that he was in a comfortable position. Looking at 18 in the eye, Krillin Sighed and replied.

"It's just that…."Her mouth opened and closed before it opened again.

"I umm….I just wanted to see you,"

The moment Krillin's words left his mouth, 18's expression changed. Krillin didn't know what took over him, but he found himself slowly closing the distance between their lips. 18's eyes fluttered close the moment she felt Krillin's lips brush against hers. Oh my gosh….. The kiss was full of sweetness, and 18's could feel fireworks exploding in her head as her lips moved against Krillin's.

They broke apart after a moment, both feeling a tingling sensation on their lips. 18 opened her mouth but no word came out of it.

18 couldn't help but think she was the luckiest girl in the world. The duo climbed into bed, Krillin wrapping his arms around her protectively while she sighed in his chest. Krillin reached over to turn off the dresser light.

"Night Krillin. I love you."

Krillin stroked her hair lightly with her free hand. "Love you too."
