Chapter Eleven: Midnight Swim
It was a long, hard day for Trunks. He just got off work so all he wanted to do was take a cold shower, and sleep. In about two and a half weeks, he'd have a full one-month vacation. 'Maybe I can get Pan to come with me to that new tropical island I've been hearing so much about.' Trunks walked up stairs in a daze, all he could think about were how refreshing he'd be after a cold shower and a goodnight's sleep. When he reached his room, he stripped himself of what he called 'prison clothes' and stepped into the showers. When he was finished, he threw on his white boxers and the moment his head hit the pillow, he instantly fell asleep.
She finally made her decsion that day. The day she overheard Marron and Bra's conversation about Trunks, Marron and Trunks that is. Pan looked at the night's sky, all she could see were millions of stars dancing across the sky. It almost seemed as though heaven was making its place on Earth.
Instead of walking in through the front door of C.C like she did, Pan flew up to the many windows of C.C, all to find Mirai Trunks. 'I have to let him know as soon as possible. I'll regret this for the rest of my life if I don't tell him now.' Window after window, search after search, Pan still couldn't find him. She would have tried to sense his ki but unfortunately, he was suppressing it. Just when she was about to give up, she spotted a figure sitting on the diving board of C.C's large pool out back. The lack of light made it difficult for her to see who it was but when she saw the hint of long lavender hair being lifted by the cool breeze, she instantly knew who it was. 'Toran-kun'. She walked quietly towards him, being careful not to be noticed just yet. When she took a step on the diving board, Mirai Trunks looked over and saw her.
"Hey." He whispered. The sound of his voice broke her heart. It sounded like he hadn't slept in days, like something was bothering him. It somehow also even resembled, heartbreak. She let out an uneasy breath before she spoke.
"Hi." She gave a little smile. "What are you doing out here?" He averted his attention back to the water beneath his dangling legs, yet he still acknowledged her presence.
"I could ask you the same question." Pan came closer to him.
"Haven't your mother ever taught you not to answer a question with a question?" She heard a little grunt come from him. 'Like Vegeta.' She thought.
"No, have you?" By then, Pan was already seated close to Mirai Trunks. He sat on the edge of the diving board while Pan sat behind him, legs dangling off the side of the board. "Hehe, I guess not." They both became quiet.
"So, why are you here at this time of night?" Mirai Trunks asked while trying to find his reflection in the pool's water. Pan sighed and tilted her head towards the sky.
"I told you, that when I was ready to tell you how I feel, I would come tell you." Mirai Trunks looked at her. "So you are now?" Pan nodded. Mirai Trunks looked away, afraid to know the answer.
"You only have a few more weeks left here, don't you?" She whispered. Mirai Trunks nodded. "Well then, I want to spend all that time with you. Until its time for you to leave I mean." Mirai Trunks turned his head back enough for her to see his face.
"You mean, you, me..?" Mira Trunks tried to say what he was thinking but couldn't. 'Could this mean that, she loves me too? Well, it doesn't matter. As long as I have her by my side for as long as I can, then its fine with me.' Mirai Trunks was so happy that he was very tempted to take off into the sky and just shout out to the world how happy he was. Smiling like a little child, he said, "Pan, I...I don't know what to say." Pan leaned in closer, resting her head on Mirai Trunks' shoulder.
"Lets not say anything to ruin the mood ok?" All he could do was nod.
All seemed right about perfect for the two. The stars presented itself proudly in the sky, glowing and dancing as though they were actual fireflies. Mirai Trunks and pan stayed in that position for awhile; with Pan resting her head on his shoulder and Mirai Trunks leaning his head against hers', both looking at the stars. Then suddenly, the lights from the bottom of the pool flashed on. They were both so startled they lost their balance on the diving board and plunged into the deepest end of the cold waters of the C.C pool.
Mirai Trunks immediately rose to the surface in a panic, afraid that Pan may have drowned. He looked around nervously, splashing large amounts of water every, frantic about Pan. When he yielded his movements and looked around, there was no sight of Pan. 'She couldn't have drowned? Could she?' He almost panicked when all of a sudden he was pulled under. When he resurfaced, he saw Pan laughing so hard that she could barely stay afloat.
"Gotcha!" Mirai Trunks lowered his head enough to where his nose was just above the water. He felt himself blush so much with embarrassment that he thought he looked like a tomato. Pan swam closer to him and whispered seductively, "It's ok, Toran-kun. You don't have to be embarrassed about anything." Pan leaned her forehead against Mirai Trunks' and smiled. "You look so cute when you're shy." Before Mirai Trunks knew it, Pan swam backwards and splashed a huge wave of water right at him. After a second of spitting and choking, Mira Trunks also joined in on the fun. He splashed a large wave of water right back at Pan and when he saw the wave engulf her, he dove under.
After wiping the water away from her face, Pan scanned the area and was surprised to find Mirai Trunks out of sight. 'Uh oh, I'm in for in now.' She smiled at herself. Before she could comprehend what happened next, she felt a strong grip on both her ankles and was pulled under. Opening her eyes under water, Pan saw Mirai Trunks looking at her and smirking. She grinned also and began swimming towards him. For about a minute or so, the two were wrestling under water, trying to find out who was the more dominate. Alas, neither could win, so they quickly resurfaced and breathed in the cool night's air. However, the romantic atmosphere did not stop the two from acting like 5 year olds. They continued to play their water war, first Mirai Trunks was washed over with waves of water, then it was Pan. To the whole game, Mirai Trunks quickly stopped Pan by lunging towards her and putting his arms around her with her arms to her sides unable to move.
"I win Pan-chan." She pouted in a playful manner.
"And so you do." She replied back.
All was quiet as the two stared intensely at each other. Without even thinking about it, Mirai Trunks brought his hand to Pan's cheek. He caressed it gently and felt her skin to be cool and soft. She shivered a little at his touch. He didn't know wither or not it was because of the cold, or just because it was him. He gently touched her cold blue lips, longing to kiss them and make her warm again. Mirai Trunks never noticed how beautiful Pan was until that moment. Her eyes slowly began to close as she moved closer to him, and yet it was still slightly open, enough for her to explore his face as he did with hers'. Her hand touched his damp hair, then moved its way to his cheeks then following his lips.
Mirai Trunks closed his eyes and gently kissed her fingertips as she traced his lips. No longer able to hold back how he felt, Mirai Trunks took her hand and drew her arm around his neck, instinctively; she did the same with the other. They leaned in towards each other, and slowly, their lips met. Pan could taste the chlorine from the water back when they just had their water war. Then it slowly faded when she tasted the sweetness of his tongue when she let opened her mouth willingly. She could feel his embrace tighten around her, beckoning for more. When their lungs begged for air, they finally broke apart. They looked into each other's eyes and just smiled. She pressed her forehead against his as he did with her. Then, she looked into his eyes and decided to tell him what she discovered the day she was in the Café'.
"Toran-kun."
"Hm?"
"Would you like to know what I found out yesterday?" He smiled.
"Sure."
"I found out that I love you." Mirai Trunks' just smiled once again, and kissed her. Then he pulled her closer to him, so close that their bodies were pressed against each other and would stay that way due to the fact that they were still in the pool. He then whispered in her ear, "I have a confession to make as well. I, too, love you. With all my heart and soul."
