We're Just Roommates
Part 7
By Presea

Well, it's about damn time I got this up. Truthfully, I had this ready a while ago, but I didn't like the way it turned out... so I revised a little, and there's a DOUBLE dose of lemon in the NC-17 version of this chapter for those of you who want to read it. But if reading such things bothers you, then stick to this lime scented R version instead. And thank you, everyone, for all of your great reviews on "Let Me In." *hugs for all*

"Make love to me, Goten," she whispered to him.

He felt his heart begin to race at a thousand miles per second. He took a deep breath. "This is a really big decision, Bra-chan. Are you sure? Are you sure you're ready for this?"

She held onto him tighter. "Goten. I've never been more sure about anything in my life. I want this, Goten. I want you to be my first."

Sighing heavily, he kissed her passionately again before carrying her to the small yet adequate bedroom, placing her gently on the bed.

"Then I'll make this a night you'll never forget."

Vegeta looked out at the brightness of the full moon in anticipation. On Vegeta-sei, a full moon didn't come around very often, but when it did, it was a time for all Saiyajins to run amock and be rambunctious... among other things.

*This could very well be the night that those brats realize what's between them,* Vegeta thought. *But I can't do anything about it now... they bonded for a reason. I should be more afraid of the same thing happening between Kakarotto's brat and...*

Vegeta growled. The thought of his little princess mating with GOTEN, of all people... he didn't know what was worse, having his daughter marry a weak human, or having BOTH of his offspring marry into Kakarotto's family. The only positive thing Vegeta could see come out of all this were strong grandchildren.

"If he touches her before they're married," he said, glaring, "then Dende help him."

~*~

The two lovers collapsed onto the bed, chests heaving, lips clinging to one another. They lay in silence as they attempted to catch their breath, as their racing heartbeats gradually began to slow down. Although they felt worn out, they were still to excited to sleep.

"Goten... that was..."

"I know. I... still... can't believe this," he said as he pulled her up to him and kissed her. "You're so beautiful... Bra-chan. You were splendid, considering... this was your first time."

"Goten... I want us to be like this always. I always want to be with you."

"So do I, Bra-chan. So do I," he said, kissing her forehead. "Are you tired?"

"Hm. Not in the least."

He smirked, rolling over her as his excitement sprung to life again. "Neither am I."

She smiled, and as they began again, one last thought went through Bra's mind. *I wonder if Pan-chan got home okay...*

~*~

The first light of dawn began peering through the windows of the beach house. Pan stirred in her sleep and woke slowly, noticing that she was still being held by a pair of strong arms. Smiling, she looked up at him. He was still sleeping soundly, he was probably so exhausted that not even a freight train crashing through the house could wake him up.

*About time he got tired,* Pan mused, remembering all that had occured that night. After the first time, she'd fallen asleep for a while, then remembered waking up to the feel of him kissing her body. After that, they'd made love several more times. She had been amazed at the energy he had. He was never that assertive while they were training.

*Ick,* she thought. *I've been sweating all night. I really need a shower.* Slowly as not to wake him, she untangled herself from his embrace and stepped into his bathroom, turning the shower on and stepping in. She stood under the warm water and washed her hair as her thoughts wandered back to how they ended up in bed last night. *What the heck happened to us, anyway? It was so weird... we were just dancing at the club, and all of a sudden... it was almost like... being under a spell...*

She turned and went to reach for the conditioner, when suddenly she saw Trunks standing there staring at her through the glass. She jumped slightly as he opened the shower door and stepped in, his arms circling her waist.

"Aaah! Trunks, don't scare me like that!"

"How naughty of you, Pan-chan, to take a shower without me. I'm hurt," he said and she blushed as she felt his body respond to her again.

"Well, you just looked so tired, after all you did last night I figured you'd want to sleep all day."

"Oh, no. For some reason, I'm awake and as energetic as ever." Growling, he lightly pinned her against the tiled wall and before she knew it, last night's events began to repeat themselves once more, right there in the shower.

"T-Trunks... I don't think... I can keep up... with you anymore," she managed to breathe out between kisses.

"I'm sorry. It's just... being with you like this... drives me insane. It's like another part of me just takes over."

"Trunks, last night... when you said you loved me. Did you mean that?"

"Of course I did, Pan-chan. What makes you think I didn't?"

"Oh, it's not that. It was just... such a surprise. Because... I've loved you for so long, Trunks. And finally hearing you say those words... it seemed like only a beautiful dream, the same one I've had over and over."

"Is that so?" he said. "Pan-chan, how come you never told me?"

"Why do you think? I was afraid you'd tell me I was nuts, that it was only some teenybopper schoolgirl crush. Some people might not think I'm old enough to know the difference between a crush and being in love, but I do," she said.

"Pan-chan," he said softly, moving her wet bangs away from her face. "I would never hurt you. I don't know what came over us last night at the club, but it seemed like it was something that was just sitting inside me for a long time and screaming to be let out. I can't explain it."

Pan sighed. "Well, either way, I don't think the shower is the best place for us to have this conversation."

Trunks felt his stomach start to growl. "Hm. Maybe you're right. I'm starved. How 'bout we finish our shower and go out for breakfast? After a night like that I need to regain my energy."

After washing and scrubbing each other down, they stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in their towels, and Pan suddenly remembered something.

"Trunks... do you think Bra and Uncle Goten heard us!?"

"Damn! I forgot about them. Oh, this is gonna be rich. Just... try to sneak to your room quietly. Goten won't be up at this hour anyway, but be really quiet when you're passing my sister's room."

"I'll try. Meet you downstairs?"

"See you there."

When Pan left Trunks' room and headed down the hall, she prayed to Dende that her uncle hadn't heard them. However, as she came upon Bra's bedroom she was surprised to see the door was open.

*That's funny... she never sleeps with her door open.* When she walked by and peered into the room, she was shocked to see that there was no sign of Bra. Her bed hadn't appeared to have been used the night before, either. *Where could she be? Did she even come home last night? And... what about Uncle Goten?* She had a bad feeling about this. She walked back to where her uncle's room was, seeing the door was slightly ajar.

No snoring coming from the room. Definitely not a good sign. She poked her head in, only to find that Goten was missing, too. There was NO way her uncle would be up this early, especially on a weekend. Pan hurried back to Trunks' room.

"Trunks! Bra and Uncle Goten aren't here! They aren't in their rooms and their beds haven't been slept in. They never came back last night!"

"What?" Trunks cried. "Where could they be?"

"I remember leaving Bra to let Uncle Goten talk to her. I don't remember seeing them after that."

"Me, either. Whoa... do you think, maybe they saw how we left the club, assumed the inevitable, and stayed away from the house?"

*Oh, Dende. PLEASE don't let that be the reason...* Pan thought.

"We should go look for them," Pan said.

"Hm... I don't think we need to worry. If something bad happened, we would have sensed something. I'm sure they're okay. C'mon, let's get dressed and go to breakfast."

~*~

Goten stroked Bra's hair as he watched the sunlight slowly grow brighter. Although he knew he loved Bra and wouldn't take the previous night back for anything, he finally thought about the potential conesequences and what would happen if, Dende forbid, Vegeta were to find out about this.

*He'd murder me. I don't think he'd want us to be together. But... she loves me, and I love her. Vegeta's never denied Bra anything that she wanted. If she truly loves me, and I'm what she really wants, then Vegeta should be okay with that... right?*

He felt the girl murmur softly as she stirred in his arms. She began to wake up, becoming aware of her surroundings.

"Have we been here all night?" she asked.

"Oh, geez. I just realized... what if your brother and Pan-chan wake up and find us gone? Or maybe they've been looking for us since last night?" Goten said.

"Oh, God. You're right. Maybe we should head back," Bra said.

"I know. Let's eat before we go back. I know a great place not far from here. But... it might not be a good idea if we show up at the house together. After breakfast, you can head back, and I'll wait a couple hours before I come home."

"Okay. But we're gonna have to tell them eventually, Goten. We're all living under the same roof, it'll be hard hiding something like that."

"I know, baby. Just give me some time. It'll all work out."

"I hope so. And Goten? There's something else you should know."

"What is it?"

"Pan-chan... well, she... loves Trunks."

He paused. "I know."

"You do? How?"

"Well, I always knew she had a crush on him, and I thought it was just a puppy love kinda thing. But... the last couple years have been different. It just seemed like it was more than a crush."

"You haven't told Trunks, have you?"

"No. No one knows. At least I'm pretty sure they don't. If they do, no one's ever said anything about it to me."

"Oh."

"Come on. We can talk about it more while we eat."

~*~

Pan and Trunks walked into the small cafe where there were lots of people. They were greeted by a cheerful waitress.

"Good morning, Mr. Briefs. It's been a while," she said.

"Things have been really busy. How is everybody?"

"Everyone's good. Follow me," she said as she grabbed two menus and led them to a booth on the side. "I'll go ahead and let the cooks know you're here, so they can be prepared," the waitress smiled.

"Very funny."

Laughing, the waitress walked away.

"You come here a lot, Trunks?" Pan asked.

"Yeah, but it's been a while, though. This place isn't very fancy, but they've got the best food. Goten and I used to come here on the way to school every morning to get donuts. It's been here a long time," he explained.

"So then, they're used to you ordering lots of food?"

"Heh heh. You heard her, she just went to go warn the cooks."

~*~

"This place is small, Goten. I've never seen it before," Bra said, looking at the tiny restaurant.

"Their food is the best. Trunks and I used to come here a lot. It's a family-owned business and it's been around for years and years," Goten told her.

"Well, if the food's that good, then let's eat."

They walked inside, and the waitress approached them.

"Table for two?"

Looking around, Bra was stunned to see her brother and Pan sitting in a booth close by.

"Goten! Look, there's Trunks and Pan-chan!" she said in disbelief.

"Wha..."

Just then, Trunks looked up and saw them as well. Pan looked over, surprised to see Bra and her uncle there together. *They must have patched things up* she thought with a smile. Trunks waved at them to come over.

Surprised, Goten and Bra walked to the table.

"Where the hell have you guys been?!" Trunks said.

"Erm... it's kind of a long story," Goten said as they sat down on the other side of them. "Very long..."

A smirk appeared on Pan's face as she realized what must've happened. Could it really be?

"Bra-chan, Uncle Goten, you sly dogs! I should have known!" she exclaimed.

"Eh..." Bra said nervously.

"So, you guys have finally kissed and made up, huh? Tell me, just HOW MUCH kissing was involved?" Pan teased.

"Pan-chan!" Goten said as he and Bra blushed furiously.

Trunks caught on to what Pan was hinting at, his eyes widening as his jaw dropped. "Son Goten... what did you do with my sister?!" Trunks attempted to say as loud as he could without making a scene.

"Trunks honey, calm down. Are you forgetting about what ELSE happened last night so soon?" Pan said. Now it was Trunks' turn to blush.

"Last... night?" Goten said, looking at his niece. Looking at the expression on Trunks' face, he could only assume one thing. "Pan-chan, you didn't!"

"Well, well. Looks like we weren't the only ones who got some action last night," Bra said with a smirk.

Goten was amazed. He knew Pan loved Trunks... but never thought that Trunks even felt that way towards her. He couldn't be mad at Trunks for sleeping with Pan... after all, he'd just done the same thing with Bra, Trunks' little sister. But he was confused about one thing.

"Trunks... what about Kia?"

"Kia...? Oh, DAMN! I forgot all about her! We just walked out of the club right past her!" Trunks said, feeling like an idiot.

"Oh, that's just great. So you left her behind at the club with no explanation?" Goten said.

"I guess I'll just have to apologize. But I don't know what came over us. We weren't exactly ourselves last night," Trunks said.

"What do you mean, 'not yourselves'?" Bra asked.

"Looks like we have a LOT to talk about this morning," Pan said.

Goten sighed. "Yeah. I guess we do."

END PART 7.

Tee hee. Well, I hope that was well worth the wait. Read the lemony version if you've got the guts. Please R&R!
