Not So Far Apart

By Videl & Nick a.k.a. The Chicken Man

-----------------------

Videl: Ok so the heading lied. It's just me doing this chapter. Chicken boy is currently MIA. err. actually he's just grounded. I thought I would go ahead and do the next chappie on my own. So for the first time, there is no arguing between Nick and I in the beginning. So on to the story!

-----------------------

Gohan stood under a large tree. The wind blew past him, cold and hard. Gohan was only a few miles from Satan city. He leaned back against the trunk of the tree, contemplating if he should go and see Videl or not. He had masked his ki in case he decided not go through with it, so she couldn't feel him just standing there.

Gohan let out a sigh. "Who am I kidding?" He sat down. "I don't even know what I would say to her. Get over it Gohan, she doesn't like you."

He slammed his fist down to the ground. "Move on!" He yelled out

-----------------------

Videl wandered aimlessly around the campus. The thought of the week before plagued her mind. She still couldn't shake what he said, the look on his face. She had never seen him so angry, and yet so miserable all at the same time.

She had no idea where she was going; she was just walking with no set destination.

She finally decided she was going to go and see him. She took off into the air at that moment; she didn't care who saw her.

-----------------------

Gohan felt her, he sensed he coming long before he had a visual of her. She was flying toward him at a rather fast pace. She didn't no he was here, did she? No. How could she? He had masked his ki.

Within moments she flew past him. She didn't know he was there below after all. What was she doing? Where was she going? Gohan jumped up into the air and followed her, staying as far away as possible and yet close enough to know where she was.

-----------------------

Videl landed outside the complex. She fixed her hair before entering and walking up to Gohan's apartment. She knocked on the door and Dave answered.

"Videl?" He gave her a look of confusion and surprise at her being there. "Is something wrong?" He looked past her for a moment, looking to see is Kasey was with her no doubt.

"Is Gohan here? I really need to talk to him."

"No, come to think of it, I haven't seen him since before I left for classes this morning."

"Oh." She looked disappointed.

"You want to come in and wait for him? He should be back soon."

"No, that's alright. I think I'll head back home.

"You sure?" Dave questioned

"Yes. Oh, and please don't tell Gohan that I came by."

-----------------------

Videl left the building, and she spotted Gohan approaching her.

"Hi Vi." Gohan had begun to say

Videl pounced on him, pressing her lips to his before he had a chance to say anything. Gohan was shocked but after a few seconds fell into the kiss, deepening it. Videl found herself gradually placing her arms around his neck as Gohan pulled her closer to his body, resting his hands around her waist.

Videl broke their moment. "Did you mean what you said?"

Gohan remained silent. He wasn't sure what she was referring to. He could still taste her on his lips.

She looked up at him and then looked away. "Do you love me?" she asked warily

Gohan reached out to her, placing his hand below her jaw and lifted her eyes back up to his. "Videl." He paused and pulled her off to the corner so that they were not blocking the pathway of people passing by.

"Yes I love you. I have since I-"

Videl embraced him tightly, again not allowing him to finish. "I love you Son Gohan." She reached her head up towards him and kissed him again.

-----------------------

Gohan lay in his bed with Videl in his arms. She had fallen asleep hours ago (A/N: no they didn't do anything you sickos.) He couldn't help but have the feeling that this was only a dream. He wanted to stay like this forever, with her in his arms. He finally had her, the girl he fell in love with when he was eighteen.

-----------------------

Videl: Everybody say "awwww." Ok I realized that that did happen sort of quickly but don't worry. This story isn't over yet. There is still more drama to come, and believe me, things get MUCH worse for the two. You think everything is fine and dandy now, don't cha? Muahahaha *cough hack choke* Anywayz. Nicky-boy will be back on the next chapter, and I apologize for the shortness of this chapter.
