Ok... here's the last chapter. I wanted to get Videl a little more into character... so she's a little tough. But not really, she's just angry. Anyways... I'm going to miss writing Stuck In A Closet *sniff* K going on...

Stuck In A Closet
Chapter ten

Song: Only Love by Trademark
"Gohan...?" Videl looked up at the tall figure in the doorway.
Gohan looked down at Videl, his mouth slightly open and was blushing. He was amazed at how beautiful Videl looked in her her light blue dress. It hugged her perfect figure. He had never seen her in such clothing.
"Can we talk?" Gohan asked in a low voice. Videl moved out of his way so he could enter the gymnasium. "Can we go outside? This music is kind of distracting."
Videl nodded and followed Gohan outside to a nearby bench. The tension between them made them silent, until Gohan spoke up.
"You're probably wondering why I asked you to come here..." Gohan started to say.
"Yeah..."
"Um, well, remember when we were stuck in that closet?"
"Uh..."
"I know that I said to forget that it never happened, but I didn't really mean that. I really need to talk to you about it."
"I don't get you Gohan," Videl shook her head, "first you say to forget it, now you want me to discuss this with you. What's the point? You said that we both didn't mean anything. So what's to talk about?" Videl stood up and started walking back to the gymnasium while staring at the ground.
Gohan remained in his seat for a brief moment. Why did he have to be so ignorant? Why did Videl have to be stubborn sometimes? He shook off his thoughts and he slowly lifted his head and looked at the stars.
Videl stopped walking and took a glance at Gohan. You're not who I thought you were, Gohan. She continued walking back to the school.
Gohan looked back at Videl and realized she was already walking through the gym entrance. He ran to her and grabbed her arm and pulled her aside without hurting her. His hand still held her arm, not wanting to let her go for he knew that she would walk away once again.
"Let me go back to the gym, Gohan," she said softly, surprising Gohan that she wasn't angry with him at all.
"No," he said firmly. She tried to shove him aside, though she knew that it was no use.
"I don't want what's been happening lately to continue. I know it's been awkward since that day, but I want us to be friends again."
Friends, again. That's all he wants. To be friends, Videl thought.
2 A.M and the rain is falling
Here we are at the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
Is this meant to be
You're asking me
"Sure," she replied quietly, "sure."
Gohan smiled slightly and hugged her,
though she hugged back, it felt meaningless because she knew that he didn't want
anything else but friendship.
But only love can say-try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do
When Videl pulled away, she looked into Gohan's eyes and saw that he was hiding something, as if he were about to say it, but couldn't.
"Gohan," Videl started.
"Yeah?"
"You're hiding something,"
"Uh..."
"Just tell me when you're ready..." she said as she walked back into the gym,
surprising Gohan that she didn't demand that he told her right then.
In your arms as the dawn is breaking
Face to face, and a thousand miles apart
I've tried my best to make you see
There's hope beyond the pain
If we give enough, if we learn to trust
"Videl," Gohan ran to her once again, "Wait!"
"What?"
"I'm ready to tell you...what I'm hiding."
"Fine."
But only love can say-try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do
"What I've been hiding...even from myself, for those past weeks, but I never knew how to admit it to anyone," Gohan stopped talking for a brief moment, trying to think how he could say what he was about to say next, "Maybe the reason I was avoiding you is because we almost kissed, and that I didn't know what to do about it, how to handle it, or how to be around you, because I really wanted us to kiss. And I just really...wanted...to..." Gohan never got to finish his sentence. As he tried, his face kept growing closer to Videl's, as his eyes slowly closed, and their lips barely touching, they kissed passionately, finishing what they had started.
I know if I could find the words
To touch you deep inside
You'd give our dream just one more chance
Don't let this be our goodbye
They soon pulled away, staying silent for a minute, trying to find out what to do next.
"Videl...I think I...I love you," Gohan admitted in a low, shaky voice.
Videl smiled at the uncomfortable Gohan.
"I love you too," Videl admitted herself. She kissed him again.
"I'm sorry I ruined your prom night," Gohan apologized.
"You didn't ruin it, in fact, I think this was better than any dance I've ever had."
"There's still one more song before this prom is over. Let's just enjoy this moment," Gohan said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck, and started dancing slowly to the song.
But only love can say-try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do
THE END
Omg...I can't believe this is the end! I'm gonna cry...no I'm
not, I just don't want it to end! *cries* Well,
