::Yawns:: Konbanwa minna! I got home from work a little bit ago and I'm pretty tired, but hey! I figured I'd write a chapter for ya! Yeah, this one is a good one, I think. This one has a scene that I've wanted to do since I started this story. It really gives to the meaning of December Snowflakes. I think you'll like it. Also, for you readers who wonder why I make Trunks actually feel good about Goten and Bra getting together will realize why I did that in this chapter. And for those people who wanted Pan paired up with someone, well, I got that for you, too! Also, thanks to L and LB for helping me with some of this! Read on!
Disclaimer: Bah...
December Snowflakes --- Chapter Four
Goten and Bra walked out of the movie theater and into the cold winter night. Bra shivered as she looked around, snowflakes falling everywhere. She smiled and looked at Goten. Goten grinned widely as he looked up into the black sky, watching bits of white fall all around him.
"I'm glad we got out of there, Goten-kun," Bra said, "Trunks and Marron were all over each other!" Bra looked at Goten. She frowned at his expression. Goten looked sad.
"Yeah, B-chan," Goten said, "Have you ever just wanted someone to hold?" Bra didn't expect this. Goten looked at her seriously.
Wow, Bra thought, He must not be joking this time. I wonder why he's asking me this...
Goten looked at Bra.
She seems like she doesn't want to talk about this stuff, Goten thought, but I wonder why?
"Sorry, B-chan," Goten said, "I guess we shouldn't talk about this stuff, ne?"
"It's okay, Goten-kun," Bra said, "I've wanted to talk to someone about this stuff, too."
Goten smiled.
"Then follow me!"
Goten rose into the air; into the snowflakes. Bra looked confused, but quickly followed, taking off into the air. The wind whipped around her, causing her to shiver again. Goten flew for a couple minutes before slowing down, and dropping through some snow covered trees. Both landed in a secluded spot in a forest.
The place looked as if it were just a sheet of snow. Trees, plants, everything was covered in a thin blanket of snow, causing a white tint over the whole place. Bra recognized this place as the forest right outside of Satan City Park. She always loved taking strolls through the park. It was one of the most beautiful places she knew of. This was no exception.
Goten walked over to a bench that had been planted there a while back. She looked down at her feet and noticed a pathway, similar to that used in the park. It looked as if it hadn't been used in ages. Bra watched as Goten cleared off the bench.
"Take a seat, B-chan!" Goten said. He grinned and took a seat on the bench, draping his arm over the other side. Bra walked over and sat down. She sat in awe at the scene around her.
"I usually go to this place when I feel like I need to think," Goten said. His speech caught Bra off guard and made her jump a bit. She didn't care though.
"This place has been my hiding spot for some time now," Goten continued, "I come here when I'm lonely."
Bra looked at Goten, whose eyes were wet. She smiled and put a hand on his arm. He blushed.
"It's okay, Goten-kun," Bra began, "I wish I had a spot like this when I need to think about the same stuff!" Goten looked at Bra, still blushing.
"Really, B-chan?" Goten asked, "You think about this stuff, too?" Bra nodded. She turned away and looked at the snow covered foliage.
"I wish I had someone to hold, Goten-kun," Bra stated, "It gets so lonely at times." She looked up to the spot where they came through to land. She peered out of a little sun roof in the trees to see several snowflakes fluttering to the ground in the place where they now sit.
"B-chan," Goten started, "I've wanted to have someone who I could talk to, you know? Someone who I could hold and hug... and love.."
Goten blushed. Bra looked at him and smiled.
Goten! She thought, I am the one who can do that! Why can't you see me here?
B-chan, Goten thought, Look at me. Listen to me when I'm talking! Can't you make the connection? I want you!
Both turned to each other and glanced into their eyes. Bra looked away and blushed.
"Goten-kun," Bra started, "Can I tell you something?" Bra bit her bottom lip. Am I really going to tell him now?
"Sure you can, B-chan!" Goten said. Bra smiled at his little rhyme.
"Hehe," Bra said, "Nevermind, Goten-kun. I'll tell you later. Let's just share this moment in this beautiful place..."
Goten smiled. Bra snuggled up into Goten as Goten put his arm around her. He blushed furiously.
"B-chan," Goten started, "I've got something to tell you, okay?" Goten looked at Bra, who glanced at Goten with a nervous look.
"B-chan, I just realized a little bit ago that--" Goten was cut off.
"Here they are, Marron!" Trunks called. Two figures emerged through the bushes. Goten sweatdropped.
"I guess I'll tell you later, B-chan..." Goten said. Dammit! Damn you, Trunks! You just HAD to come right now, didn't you?!
"Hey guys," Trunks said, "What are you guys doing in here?" Trunks spied the two snuggling on the bench and smiled.
"Yeah you guys!" Marron added, "We were wondering where you guys ran off to!" Bra blushed.
"We were just-- ahhh... talking!" Goten said, putting his hand behind his head and grinning. Bra nodded and blushed.
"Yeah yeah, whatever!" Trunks said, smiling, "Let's go. The movie's over." All took to the air and escaped through the hole in the foliage.
-------
The group flew a little ways before landing back at Capsule Corp. Bra and Marron went inside, but Goten stopped Trunks from going inside by sticking an arm in the doorway.
"Wait a second, dude," Goten told his friend. Trunks gave a questionable look. Goten added, "I need to talk to you."
Both half saiya-jins flew off to a spot not far from Capsule Corp. They landed. Trunks was the first to speak.
"What's up?"
"I need to talk seriously about something," Goten said, full seriousness in his voice. Trunks sat up. Goten never wants to talk serious. Something must be up.
"What's the deal?" Trunks asked.
"Dude, you'll probably hate me for this..." Goten started, "But I think I like your sister." Goten braced for an onslaught of punches, insults, and kicks, but nothing came. He just heard a laugh.
"That's cool, Goten," Trunks said. Goten was astonished.
"You aren't going to spaz on me?" Goten asked.
"Why would I?" Trunks asked, grinning.
"I'm your best friend, and I'm telling you I like your sister," Goten said, "I might even like her more than that, and you aren't going to kill me?"
"Hehe, Goten," Trunks started, "Goten, I knew you liked Bra. I could tell. It's a little obvious."
"Really, Trunks?" Goten was amazed. He didn't think anyone knew.
"Of course, I was a bit mad at first," Trunks said, "You know, it is a little uncomfortable when your best friend likes your little sister."
"Oh yeah, well I expected that," Goten said.
"But then I thought about it," Trunks said, "My best friend is the coolest guy I know. I know he wouldn't hurt my sister, and I know he would be caring for my sister. I thought he'd be the best guy for her. That's why I didn't react the way you thought I would."
Goten pretended to wipe a tear from his eye.
"That was beautiful, Trunks!" Goten pretended to cry.
Both Saiya-jins laughed.
------
"Kami!" Bra yelled. Her and Marron had retreated to Bra's room. "I was THIS CLOSE!"
Bra held her fingers apart just a little bit.
"Gomen, Bra!" Marron apologized, "We didn't know you and him were talking!!"
"Now I'll never tell him! I've never been closer!" Bra stuffed a pillow in her face. She screamed and Marron jumped.
"Bra, calm yourself!" Marron said, "You will tell him soon!"
Bra shook her head. "I don't think he'll understand, though!" she said, "I don't think he'll understand... I love him..."
Marron sat wide eyed. "You love him?"
Bra gulped. "Yeah, I do..."
"Wow, Bra," Marron said, "I didn't know you felt this way about him..."
Tears welled up in Bra's eyes.
-------
Goten and Trunks sat outside Capsule Corp.
"Haha! So you really do like Marron, hm?" Goten smirked.
"Yeah buddy, I really like her," Trunks said.
"Speaking of people liking people," Goten said, "I've heard my niece and little old Uubu are a thing now!"
"Haha that's great!" Trunks said, "I'm glad she finally found someone, and at least he can handle moods!"
They both laughed. Trunks turned to his friend and put a hand on his shoulder.
"You need to tell her, Goten," Trunks told his friend.
"I almost did, Trunks," Goten said, "But then you walked in on us."
"Oh.. gomen.. hehe," Trunks stuttered, "But dude, tell her soon."
"I plan on it, Trunks," Goten said, "I plan on it."
--------
Bra laid asleep in her room. She was having a nice dream when she was suddenly awoken by something. She sat up in her bed.
Nande? What's going on? The noise happened again. Bra looked around her room to try to figure out where it was coming from. The noise clicked again. Bra turned in her bed and stepped out. There was a knock on her door. She went and opened it and found Goten standing.
"I love you, B-chan," Goten said.
"Oh Goten-kun!" Bra yelped, "I love you too!" She ran toward him, but didn't exactly touch him. She infact, ran right through him.
"Nani?" She tried again, but failed.
The sound happened again.
Bra awoke and rubbed her eyes.
"Kuso... another dream," She said, sitting up. The noise happened again. Click... click...
Bra didn't even bother turning on the lights this time, for she knew this would be another dream. She stood in the middle of her room. Click.
Bra turned to her window to find a figure floating outside, tossing pebbles at her window. She walked up and opened the pane of glass. Goten floated outside.
"B-chan, may I come in?" Goten asked.
"Sure, but this better not be another dream," Bra said.
Goten stepped in.
"A... dream...?" Goten asked. He just shook his head. "B-chan, remember when I said that I would tell you what I said I would tell you later?"
"Goten-kun, don't confuse me..." Bra said groggily.
"Gomen..." Goten apologized, "Remember when we were talking? And I got cut off by Trunks and I said I would tell you later?"
"Yeah..." Bra said.
"Well, I'd like to tell you now..." Goten replied.
"Okay, Goten-kun," Bra said, "Tell me."
Bra's eyes grew wide as Goten pressed his lips to hers.
The kiss only lasted for a couple seconds, but it seemed like an eternity to the two. When both drew back, Bra smiled.
"This isn't a dream, is it?" Bra asked.
Goten shook his head.
"Then kiss me again, Goten-kun," Bra said.
Midway through the kiss, Bra pulled away. Goten looked hurt, but she just shushed him.
"Goten-kun, remember what I wanted to tell you?" She asked. Goten nodded.
Bra pulled his head down and whispered into his ear.
"I love you, Goten-kun."
The two enveloped themselves in a deep kiss again, and behind the closed door of Bra's bedroom smirked two people. One with lavender hair and the other with long blonde pigtails.
