Diamond Ring
by: Kiora
Author's Notes: It's a songfic.. or my own twisted version of one. The song, Diamond Ring, doesn't belong to me, it's a Bon Jovi song. :) This would take place sometime after GT.. and by the way, I don't own the characters either. I'd really appreciate some feedback.. whether you email me or leave a comment.. Be warned.. I do have a tendency to be sappy sometimes, though I think I haven't overdone anything here. Thanks!

Trunks sighed, running his hands through his hair nervously. Being half saiya-jin did have it's advantages sometimes, and the blood that ran through his veins had, in more ways than one, changed his life. But right now, more than ever, Trunks felt completely human. Completely helpless. Sure.. he was, arguably, one of the strongest beings the universe had ever seen, but everything he had ever done.. the confidence that always radiated around him like an aura had vanished. Completely vanished. Nervousness swept his soul, becoming a part of him, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to keep her off his mind.
It was improper, it was immoral, it was just wrong. She was too young, she needed time, she was just a friend.. he knew all the reasons why he couldn't have her. He had probably made half of them up in his mind.. and though it stood against everything he believed in and broke every rule he had ever followed, he still loved her. Loved her more than life. And he couldn't hold himself back anymore.
He slipped a glowing ring out of his pocket and fingered it gently. In his mind, he played the scene of her arrival over and over again. Sometimes she was glowing with happiness and joy, relief overtaking her beautiful features. Other times, he saw guilt rushing into her face, and her smiles never quite reached her eyes. Gazing into the sparkling gem, all of his doubts came back tenfold.
--Diamond ring, wear it on your hand
--Gonna tell the world I'm your only man
--Diamond ring, diamond ring
--Baby, you're my everything, diamond ring
Overcome with confusion, he melted to the ground, leaning against the hard wall. His work long forgotten, he let his thoughts consume him while his heart counted down the hours. Images of her smile and her cheerful laugh plagued his mind and gave his soul no rest. She had grown up so quickly, in front of his eyes -- and it had taken him that long to realize what his heart had known since the beginning of time.
--When you're hungry I will fill you up
--When you're thirsty drink out of my loving cup
--When you're crying I will be the tears for you
--There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
Each day, his heart pounded.. he loved her more than the last. He still remembered the feeling of her sweet lips pressed against his. Her heart beating next to his. He could only pray that it hadn't just been a crush. Just thinking about losing her made his heart break into a thousand pieces. Pieces as small as the stars were far.. as scattered as the galaxy was wide. It would take him a lifetime to put them back together.
--You know, I bleed every night you sleep
--'cause I don't know if I'm in your dreams
--I want to be your everything..
A quiet knock pulled him out of his reverie, and he nearly shot through the roof. Startled, he yelled, "Come in!" Pulling himself to his feet, he whirled around just as she stepped in, and froze in his footsteps. Their eyes met.. blue clashing with blue, and for a second, he forgot how to breathe. He was weak and vulnerable.. he was a human.. but his courage had not left him yet. Kneeling in front of her, he murmured, "Pan.. marry me."
--Baby, you're my everything.. diamond ring
--Darling, you're my everything, diamond ring
--Now you've got me on your string.. diamond ring
