We're Just Roommates
Part 9
By Presea
Okay, here's the next part. Took me a while but at least it got done much quicker than the last one. I didn't write another lemon like some people wanted me to, I'm sorry but I just didn't have the mindset for it this time, maybe in the future I may do a lemon version. Also, this one's kinda short... sorry about that. ^^; But the next chapter will be the LAST, and once it's done I can move on to my next fic, which will be T/P, G/M, and B/17, and it's going to be a total AU, I'm still planning it out but I can't wait to actually start writing it. =) Well, enjoy part 9!
~*~
"Hm... Trunks, I never thought you could be so romantic. I mean, to think this was all your own idea," Pan said as she sipped the expensive wine, watching the sun set into the ocean.
"Hey, I have my romantic side too. It's only come out more since we got together," he told her.
"Have we finished off all the food capsules?" she asked.
"Looks like it. So," he said, setting his wine glass down on the sand, and going in to nuzzle her neck. "What should we do now?"
She smiled as she felt him kiss her neck slowly. "Oh, I'm sure you have something in mind."
Remembering where they were, Trunks got a grand idea as he smiled at her. "Let's go for a swim, Pan-chan."
"Swim? Trunks, I don't have anything to wear for swimming."
"Exactly," he smirked as he kissed her lips.
"Hm," she sighed, getting the idea. "Have you ever been skinny dipping before?" she asked.
"I think so, once, when I was drunk. But... it was a long time ago," he said, and he got up and began to unbutton his shirt. It didn't take long for him to dispose of his other garments and he walked towards the water, looking back at her playfully. "Come on, Pan-chan. Let's have some fun."
~*~
Gohan winced as he felt Vegeta's ki rise after relaying what he had overheard. *Maybe it wasn't a good idea to tell him.* Gohan thought as anger became evident in Vegeta's features. *Good thing I didn't tell him they were naked in the hot tub together.*
"Vegeta-san," Gohan said carefully, attempting to calm him down. "You said yourself that it was more than likely to happen. You don't want to alert the others with your ki. Please, calm down."
Vegeta couldn't help it. His little princess... she truly was gone, he couldn't take care of her anymore. Thinking of that only made him angrier.
"Veggie." Bulma stepped in. "If Bra truly loves Goten, think of what it would do to her if you killed him."
Slowly, very slowly, Vegeta began to compose himself. True, he figured there was a good possibility that Goten would bond with Bra, but having it actually happen was a whole other story. The realization hit him hard.
"I'm not any happier about all of this than you are, Vegeta-san. I'll tell you right now though, if Trunks IS..." Gohan struggled to get his next words out. "...sleeping with Pan, he's going to marry her. It's the proper thing to do. They're already living like they're married anyway."
"I suppose you're right. But like I said before, I don't want to deal with the media. Maybe we should let them come to us when they're ready," Bulma said.
"No," Vegeta growled, as he kept his anger in check.
"But Veggie, you said before that we should wait."
"That's because we weren't sure if they knew what was between them yet. Now that we know for sure that they have realized their bond, we can confront them about it."
"Good," Gohan said.
~*~
Their breathing began to slow down as they embraced each other, waves of ocean water washing over them. They had frolicked in the water for a while, and before they knew it, they were kissing passionately and making love in the surf. It was a strange feeling, to say the least, having the waves rush around them as they made love, feeling as if they were being pulled out further into the water, when in fact they hadn't moved from that spot.
They kissed, feeling their bodies go back to normal. Trunks couldn't believe how whole he felt whenever he was with her, how complete she made him feel. He knew the others didn't want to tell their parents what was going on yet, but he wanted to tell them everything... because he wanted to take their relationship to the next level.
"Pan-chan... I love you so much," he whispered, clinging to her. "So much... that I think we should tell our parents everything."
Pan sighed. "Trunks, we've been through this."
"I know. But... it's just that..."
She felt the uneasiness in his voice. "Just what?"
"Pan-chan... I... I want to marry you."
Her heart stopped. She forgot the water swirling around her, forgot everything but the words he'd just spoken. She wasn't sure if she heard him right. "Trunks, what... did you say? I could have sworn I heard you propose to me."
"I did, Pan-chan. I want to marry you."
Hearing the words again, she sighed and held him tighter. "Trunks... I love you. You know I do. But... don't you think... it's a little soon for that? I mean, we've only been together for a week."
"I know, love. But it's just... I want to be with you always, Pan-chan. I've never been able to keep a relationship for very long in the past, and now I know why. It's because I had to wait for you. And now that we're together... I just want it to be forever."
"Trunks... I know how you feel. But you'll always have me. I want to at least finish undergraduate school before I think about marriage."
"Pan-chan, your education is important, I know. But you know that once your grandmother and your father find out about this, they're going to want us to get married. You know how your family is about that."
Pan sighed, but knew he was right. Both her parents and grandparents had waited for marriage before having sex. Unfortunately, this hadn't proven to be successful with her uncle. He'd had more girlfriends than you could shake a stick at. But she knew that it had always been expected of her, that she would wait for marriage. Trunks sensed her uneasiness.
"We don't have to talk about it anymore. But promise me you'll at least think about it?" he said.
She nodded. "I will, Trunks."
A FEW DAYS LATER...
"Trunks?" Bulma said as she walked into her son's office.
"Hi, Mom. What's up?"
"Listen... it's been a while since you've visited us, so why don't you and Bra come home for dinner tonight, and bring your... roommates with you?"
"Home for dinner?"
"Yes. I've spoken with Chichi and she says she hasn't seen Pan or Goten in a while either. So we thought everyone should get together again. Dinner's going to be at six o'clock."
Trunks paused. This was going to be the ultimate test. Acting cool around their families, as though things hadn't changed. They would have to be careful. "All right, Mom. We'll be there."
"Good," Bulma said with a smile, as she left his office.
~ THAT NIGHT... ~
Trunks, Goten, Pan and Bra arrived at the Briefs estate feeling a little uneasy.
"Just act normal, everyone," Bra said.
"Nobody slip up and do something stupid, like hold hands," Pan told them.
"Right. Normal. We can do this," Goten said, taking a deep breath.
"I still think we should tell them," Trunks said.
"Trunks, don't start!" Bra cried as they got to the door and walked in.
"Mom! Dad! We're here!" Bra called.
"We're all in the living room, kids!" came Bulma's voice.
"Okay... remember, everybody stay cool," Bra whispered, and they all nodded.
As they got closer to the living room, they could smell the mouth-watering aroma of food being cooked.
"My mother must be in the kitchen," Goten said with a grin.
"In that case, I'll go see if she needs help!" Pan said as she took a detour to the kitchen as everyone else headed towards the living room.
"Kids! Glad you could make it!" Bulma said as she hugged Trunks and Bra. Bra went over to Vegeta.
"Hi, Daddy," she said, hugging him.
"Hello, Princess. Are you... all right?" he said with concern.
"Of course, Daddy," she said as she giggled at her father's protectiveness. *I guess he'll never change.* She thought.
"Where's Pan?" Videl asked when she didn't see her daughter.
"Oh, she went to go see if Chichi needed help in the kitchen," Bra said.
"Heh. So you guys recongized the smell of the food as soon as you walked in, eh? That's typical of you," Gohan said, not looking at Trunks for fear that he would give the poor guy a death stare. Gohan figured it wasn't Trunks' fault that he'd bonded with Pan, but he still couldn't help but feel a little bitter. He could also see that Vegeta wasn't looking at Goten. Gohan knew that if his brother ever hurt Bra in any way, he'd be a dead man, no doubt about it.
"Why don't you all sit down?" Bulma said.
Trunks and Bra sat on the couch, and Goten sat on a chair, everyone noticed, away from Bra. They were certainly doing their best to hide the situation. Just then, Pan and Chichi walked in.
"Hi, Dad!" she smiled as she hugged her father.
"Hi, Pan," he said with a smile.
"What's wrong, Dad? You look down," she said.
"Pan, why don't you sit next to me?" Videl said, sitting on the couch across from Trunks and Bra.
"Hi, Mom!" Pan took the seat next to her mother and hugged her.
The parents all looked at each other. They really weren't sure how to bring the subject up. The younger adults in the room noticed the look on their parents' faces, wondering what was going on.
"What's the matter?" Trunks asked.
There was a short silence until Vegeta finally spoke.
"Let's get down to the real issue, brats. We know what's going on with you."
Their eyes widened, and they felt their hearts stop momentarily.
"W-W-What d-do you m-mean???" Goten stammered.
"We KNOW, Goten. You kids don't have to hide your relationships from us," Bulma said.
They all gasped and turned bright red.
"How... how did you find out!?" Pan cried.
"Dumb brats. I knew long before you did," Vegeta muttered.
"What do you mean!?"
"It was inevitable," Vegeta said. "You and Trunks had already formed a bond. But as for you..." Vegeta glared at Goten, causing the half-Saiyajin to cringe with fear.
"It's okay, Goten," Gohan said, placing a hand on his brother's shoulder.
"What do you mean by a 'bond'?" Trunks asked.
"Vegeta. Perhaps you should explain," Gohan suggested, attempting to get Vegeta's focus off his brother.
"Fine. I first sensed the bond between the two of you when you returned from the galaxy tour. Although it was still somewhat faint, I knew it would grow stronger over time. And now, the two of you have consummated that bond. A Saiyajin bond."
"So... that's what happened? That first night, when we felt so strange...?" Trunks blushed harder, not wanting to say anymore.
"According to your father, if this were Vegeta-sei, then technically you two... well, all of you, I suppose... would be considered married, so to speak," Bulma said.
Trunks, Pan, Bra, and Goten all looked bewildered.
"Speaking of which," Gohan said, "When DO you plan on marrying my daughter, Trunks?"
"Dad!? You actually WANT me to get married!?"
"Of course not! I didn't want you to get married for a long while, Pan. But since... this has happened, it's the proper thing to do."
"Well... I kind of already asked her," Trunks admitted.
"WHAT!?" Bra and Goten cried.
"I asked her on a whim, I didn't have a ring or anything. But she said she wanted to wait, until she was at least finished with her undergraduate studies. And she didn't want to tell any of you about our relationship yet."
"When were you planning on telling US!?" Bra exclaimed.
"Well, what *I* want to know is how it all happened. Why don't we have some dinner now and you can tell us all about it, and then we can talk about wedding plans?" Chichi said with a smile, as the four of them turned red again.
For the whole dinner, Trunks and the others told what had happened that night at the club, and their parents listened with interest. They all laughed when they had heard about Kia and her antics, and even though their children had been embarassed the entire night, it was surely something they wouldn't forget.
"So I suppose we have some weddings to plan, don't we?" Chichi said with a wink.
"Or, maybe a double wedding?" Bulma asked.
"Hang on! We're not even wearing any rings yet!" Bra said.
"Well, perhaps you should get some quick, then. It won't be a good thing if the press finds out that Trunks is seeing a woman so much younger than him. They'll call him a cradle-robber, or worse."
"EXCUSE ME, but I AM an adult here!" Pan snapped.
"Sorry, Pan. But you have to understand, this is the press we're talking about. They can make the most innocent things sound horrid," Bulma told her.
"Well, since they're bonded, they're going to have to get married eventually, right? So technically they already are engaged," Videl reasoned.
Pan blinked. "I... guess I didn't think of it that way."
"Pan dear, we don't mean to rush you. We know you and Bra are still young, but Trunks and Goten aren't. We would have liked to see grandkids by now," Bulma said.
"I would like for Pan to finish her schooling, but... suppose the media does find out? How is Trunks going to respond to that?" Gohan asked.
"Well... let's just hope they don't," Trunks said.
~*~
Kia made her way through the large building with only one thing on her mind. *Nobody makes a fool out of me, Trunks. Just you wait.*
Kia looked around until she found who she was looking for. With a smile, she aprroached the older woman.
"Hey Rina."
The woman looked up from her work, suprised. "Kia? What are you doing here?"
"Well sis, believe it or not I actually have a juicy story for you. And the best part is, it's TRUE, so you shouldn't have to worry about getting sued... again," Kia said.
"Oh, really? Do tell."
"I happen to know for a fact that the president of Capsule Corporation is seeing a girl who is fourteen years his junior... and LIVING with her, too." The older woman's eyes widened. Kia smirked at her sister's reaction. "And that's not all. She also happens to be the granddaughter of Mr. Satan."
"You don't say..." Rina said, dumbfounded, then gave Kia a suspicious look. "Hold on. How would you know all this?"
"I SHOULD know. The bastard dumped me for her."
"WHAT!?"
"That's right, dear sister. Trunks had a party at his beach house, and we met there. But then... that little twit seduced him away from me!" Kia spat.
"Hold on there, little sister. I'm not going to publish a story just so you can get even with these people. I know I'm a tabloid reporter and I'm not supposed to have a conscience or anything, but in the past the Briefs have always been sucessful in suing tabloids who have tried to make fools out of them."
"Yeah, and do you know why? Because those stories were all lies. This time, this is the real, in-your-face truth."
Rina gave her sister another suspicious look. "Do you have proof?"
Kia grinned. "I thought you'd never ask."
