Seventeen tried to comfort the upset teen 'shushing' and 'cooing' softly. When the tears finally subsided Seventeen stood up to leave.
"Stay with me" Gohan whispered pleadingly. He curled up on one side of the bed making room for Seventeen. Seventeen threw off his runners and took off his scarf and T-shirt. He slid out of his jeans and tossed his socks on his runners. Then he lay down next to Gohan. Gohan moved closer to Seventeen and snuggled up to him laying his head on Seventeen's chest. Seventeen wrapped his arms around Gohans waist protectively before drifting off to sleep. When he woke the next morning Gohan's head was still on his chest and his arm was draped across his stomach. Gohan stretched before opening his eyes sleepily and yawning. He smiled at Seventeen
"I...I...think I love you" he said softly blushing slightly
"I love you too Gohan" Seventeen said quietly as he kissed the top of Gohan's head. Gohan sat up and stretched his arms, yawning. Seventeen sat up and reached over and carefully snapped the collar in two. Gohan looked at him surprised
"You're free," Seventeen said "You can go" He smiled sadly at Gohan
"I don't want to" Gohan said. Seventeen looked shocked and a single tear ran down his cheek
"You don't know, how glad I am to hear you say that" Seventeen smiled
Gohan gently wiped away the tear. He brushed his fingers through Seventeens sleek black hair and smiled
"How about we go for a walk before breakfast?" he grinned
"Id love to" Seventeen smiled in return. He dressed quickly and opened the door leading Gohan out
"Id better get you some clothes first though," he said pointing to Gohans PJs
"Yeah I guess so...Id look a bit strange going out in this" Gohan laughed. Seventeen got him a tracksuit pants, a T-shirt and an old pair of runners. He turned his back giving Gohan some privacy.
"Ready?" he asked without turning around
"Uh-huh" Gohan answered and they both headed for the front door. Gohan blinked, closing his eyes, as he was completely unaccustomed to the brightness. Seventeen took his hand and guided him to a large waterfall
"Its beautiful" gushed Gohan as he stared at the rushing water.
"Not as beautiful as you" Seventeen added. Gohan blushed and grinned.
Piccolo was on his way to Chichis. As soon as the collar had been removed he had felt Gohans chi. When he reached the Son house Krillin met him at the door
"You felt it too, huh?" he said to Piccolo "Is it Gohan?"
"Yes he must have escaped" Piccolo said, "We'd better head there now before he's recaptured"
"We should probably get Yamcha and Vegeta to come with us just in case" Krillin suggested. Chichi came to the door, her eyes bright with tears dabbing them with her apron.
"Is it true? Have you found my Gohan?" piccolo nodded before turning to leave. First he stopped at Capsule Corp. for Vegeta and Yamcha, then he headed towards Gohans chi.
Seventeen laughed as Gohans stomach grumbled
"How about breakfast?" he asked. Gohan nodded agreement
"Race you there!" he yelled before he legged it in the direction of the house
"No fair...You cheated" he laughed before running after Gohan. Gohan reached the house and turned flashing the 'V' sign at Seventeen signaling his victory. What he saw froze the blood inn his veins. Piccolo, Krillin, Yamcha and Vegeta were standing around Seventeen, aiming blasts at him
"Guys Stop!!" Gohan yelled. Vegeta and Yamcha heard him and lowered their hands turning to look at him. Piccolo and Krillin however hadn't heard him and were powering up
"Piccolo, Krillin, No!" Gohan shouted as he dashed towards Seventeen and threw himself between Seventeen and the blasts shielding him. He was thrown backwards into Seventeen and knocked him
"Gohan! No!" Seventeen cried in horror. Vegeta ran between Piccolo, Krillin and Seventeen
"Stop it you fools" he shouted "Don't you dare fire again or ill blast you all straight to HFIL" Krillin was speechless. They hadn't meant to hit Gohan...How were they to know that Gohan would protect Seventeen
Seventeen sobbed cradling Gohans broken body
"Gohan...p...please" he whispered "Say something...anything" Gohan groaned and slowly and painfully opened his eyes. He smiled weakly at Seventeen
"M..make up your mind...which is it...something or...anything?" he asked weakly
"Oh Gohan..." Seventeen smiled through his tears "Don't scare m..."
"I love you...so...so...much" Gohan choked out "Don't cry Seventeen...now I know how my dad felt...he...nnghh..."
"Ssshhh...don't try to talk. Save your strength"
"No" Gohan interrupted him "I...I have to say this...my dad sacrificed himself out of his love for me...and...and if I don't make it through this..."
"Please Gohan don't say that" Seventeen sobbed.
"Don't hate yourself...because...because its not your fault." Gohan groaned and closed his eyes. Seventeen's eyes widened in horror
"Don't leave me Gohan!" he begged "I need you" Vegeta placed a hand on Seventeens shoulder
"We need to get him to a hospital if he's to have any chance of surviving" Seventeen nodded picking up Gohans limp and bloody body
When they reached the hospital Gohan was taken to the 'OR' and Piccolo and Krillin left to inform Chichi. Vegeta and Yamcha watched Seventeen pace back and forth impatiently
"Could you stop that, man" Yamcha said "You're making me dizzy" Seventeen tried sitting but he couldn't stop fidgeting. He looked in the direction that the doctors had taken Gohan. Vegeta coughed
"So...umm...how long have you and Gohan been a couple?" he said trying to distract Seventeen. He looked at Vegeta and sighed
"It didn't start out that way...but me and Gohan...well we just hit it off" Seventeen said blushing "I was supposed to have kidnapped Gohan but instead I fell in love with him" He grinned at Vegeta "Kinda silly huh?"
"Not at all...You find love in the strangest places," Vegeta said thoughtfully That damn woman, Bulma literally drove me to drink and..." he smiled "That's how me and Yamcha got together" seventeen gasped looking between the two
"You mean you two are an item?"
"Yup" Yamcha grinned "we both had one thin in common...a major crush on Goku and as you so eloquently put it, we just hit it off" Vegeta smiled at Yamcha.
