Chapter five: Shadows where I stand
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist...
Goten was eating dinner with his family after he finished sparring with Trunks. He wondered what Trunks had been thinking when he'd made that comment on his outfit...he must have been joking. But he'd made sure to wear something tight, just in case.
A light blush stained his cheeks just remembering the "outfit incident" as he liked to think of it. Trunks hadn't looked half bad in his tank top and cargo pants, himself. A real lady killer. Goten sighed, that was the problem.
"Hey, Goten, you blushing???" Pan teased. She reached into the backback by her chair and pulled out a little book that looked awfully "By the way, you left this in my room."
Pan had never seen someone snatch something so fast. One minute she was holding the diary, next minute it was in Goten's hands and he was holding it very possesively. (As well he might, considering the contents.)
"You didn't read any of it, did you?" he asked nervously.Oh please...
"No, of course not," Pan lied, giving her uncle the puppy dog eyes.
"You're lying, aren't you Pan," Gohan said sternly.
"No, of course not," Pan said quickly. "Don't you think I'd be freaking out if I had read some of the things that are in there?"
The entire family (minus Goku, who was trying to balance a carrot on his nose) gaped at Pan. Oh, Kami, she read it! I'm going to kill her as soon as I get over my embarrassment...which will probably be never...
"You- you- mean you did read it?" he asked, every drop of color draining from his face. She suddenly realized what she had said, and considering the color of her uncle's face, she'd better come up with something fast. "Oh, well, I did read one entry from the beginning, before you realized you liked-" Pan stopeed abruptly, realizing she was digging herself a deeper and deeper hole (Goten looked like he was about to pass out). "-liked Parisu. It was kinda funny because you were so nervous around her. Sorry, I wouldn't have read it, but I couldn't figure out who the book belonged to."
Goten breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't remember that particular entry, but it might be in there. He had been keeping a diary a little while before he realized he liked Trunks, so that entry might be in there.
"Heh ha," Goten laughed nervously. "I thought you might have read something later on."
The rest of the famiy stared at the two in confusion (except for Goku, who was now tossing peas and trying to catch them in his mouth.) They got the feeling both Goten and Pan were hiding something. However, they all shrugged and figured it was private business between the two.
Whew, that was close. I'm kinda mad that Goten and Trunks are both so clueless as to not realize their feelings towards each other, but in this case the cluelessness came in handy. Pan thought in relief as her family went back to eating. (Minus Goku, who had finally figured out something was going on and was trying to figure out what.)
