A/N: I have returned! I want to remind everyone who might have forgotten that Videl knows about Gohan being the one who defeated Cell and such. This has minor relevance in the upcoming chapters, so I just wanted to double check that you knew that. Oh yeah, there will be plenty more Gohan and Videl, but there will also be a little more Chibi/Shin, hope you enjoy!
One more thing that I didn't put in the last chapter cause I didn't want to ruin the mood; Gohan and Videl went into the limo after that last scene and had a little make out session (just 'feeling', no actual sex) and the driver is off at a coffee shop somewhere^^.
T-chan; *hums idly* Lexi-sama, what about my darling Trunks? When will he come into the story?
Probably not for a while, but I promise he will be in here more.
T-chan; *plays with Lexi's tail* Oh, okies then!
Disclaimer; *Jeopardy style* Dragon Ball Z.
T-chan; Ooooh Ooh, I know! I know!
Announcer dude; Yes?
T-chan; What does Lexi-sama not own the rights to?
Announcer dude; Correct for three hundred points!
*moans* -_-;; You know your life is truly pathetic when you are the answer to a three hundred point Jeopardy question.
***A few hours, and Two Lemons Later ^______________^***
It was past midnight and the dance was over. Sharpener and Erasa, giggling, walked over to the limo. It was locked. Sharpener banged on the window and frantic scrambling was heard inside. Erasa'a eyes widened and the two began howling with mirth when the door opened to show a rather tussled Gohan and Videl.
"Oh…oh my Kami…did…did you…you two…" Erasa managed through her laughter.
They turned bright red and skulked in the back of the car as Sharpener and Erasa climbed in. Sharpener grinned and clapped Gohan on the back, congratulating him, which only made both blush redder.
The chauffer soon returned, and they headed home.
*
Chibi laid contentedly in Shin's arms. After their –fun- they had simply cuddled and chatted, basking in each other's presence.
^More than 300 years, and we're still madly in love…^ she kept thinking about that…
Finally Shin shifted with a sigh. "I love you Chibi, see you soon!"
"Bye Shin luv, don't be a stranger now!"
He smirked and kissed her warmly before gathering his things and leaving.
Sighing, Chibi closed her eyes and drifted to sleep, dreaming of her lover.
***Monday Morning***
"Hey Gohan!"
"Hey Chibi!"
"I heard you and Videl finally got it on! (sorta)"
Gohan blushed slightly and shrugged as Chibi laughed.
"Ah, come off it Gohan-chan, you can't seriously have thought I wouldn't know!"
He grinned sheepishly and they walked towards their first classes.
"Sooo…are you going to go out with her more?"
"Of course! I… I think I love her" Gohan whispered.
Chibi rolled her eyes. "Gohan you dunce! You're soulmates, of COURSE you love her you baka!"
They walked the rest of the way in silence, waving to each other when they reached Chibi's room while Gohan continued on.
*
Videl smiled happily; finally she and Gohan were an item! She felt so… complete now; as if something that had been missing was suddenly fulfilled.
Erasa had teased her nonstop until Videl commented about her and Sharpener. Erasa had smirked, but laid off.
^Class is gonna start soon, wonder where Chibi is…^
A dark flash of blue near the door alerted Videl of her new friend's presence. She grinned at Chibi, who grinned back.
"Hey girlfriend; heard things got frisky after I left!"
Videl blinked and blushed, "Um…"
Chibi laughed "don't worry; between you and me, I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier!"
Videl blushed even worse "Riiiight, like I know what you're talking about."
Chibi's smirk grew. "Gohan tells me everything, and even if he doesn't, I know it anyways."
"You do realize that you're not making any sense at all."
"Yup!" came the cheerful reply.
Videl just shook her head, ^some people…^
"So Chibi, what happened after you left, go home and mope?"
Chibi's eyes glossed over. "No…I went to the park and He came. We went straight home."
Videl stared, then began laughing. "NOW who's getting overly frisky?!"
"Oh, we didn't get overly frisky…Just pleasantly familiarized!"
Videl sweatdropped and shook her head. "You're way too chipper for a Monday morning. Hey, since I didn't get to meet this mysterious boyfriend of yours Friday night, when do I get to see him?"
Chibi was about to reply but the bell rang, signaling the start of yet another day of torture.
***Lunch time***
"Hey Gohan! Over here!" Erasa waved frantically and Gohan trotted up.
"Hey Videl-chan" Gohan said, kissing the top of her head.
"What's up Son-kun?"
"Oh… not much."
"No, I can tell you something up your sleeve! Remember that you can't hide anything from ME Son!"
"You're right, I do have something planned, but I can't tell you know."
To Videl's surprise, Chibi's eyes suddenly got huge and she began gasping with something like shocked laughter. Videl glared.
"What does SHE know that I don't?"
Gohan bit his lip to keep from laughing. "Chibi just knows me too well, but you'll find out soon!"
Videl sighed and they all sat down to eat.
~Oh Kami Gohan, you can't be serious about this!!!~
~Why not? Don't you think she'll say yes?~
***That Afternoon***
"Hey Videl, if you aren't busy, would you like to go out to dinner with me tonight?"
"Sure Gohan! What time?"
"How about I pick you up at 6:00."
"Okay, that works for me!"
"Oh, and make sure to dress formal!"
Videl was slightly puzzled, but nodded and waved goodbye.
***That Evening***
"Wow Videl, you look great!"
Gohan stared at the angel in front of him. Videl was dressed in a black satin knee length dress. It had a rather low V-neck and cap sleeves. Black stiletto sandals completed the taunting image.
She smirked. "Why thank you Gohan-kun! You look quite nice too."
Gohan was wearing an outfit very similar to the one he had worn to the dance, only this one was with khakis and a black turtleneck.
They proceeded to the restaurant in the Jaguar that Gohan had borrowed from Bulma.
Videl was impressed by the luxury of the restaurant. It was just as well known as the restaurant from Friday night, but not quite so selective.
They were led to a secluded booth and the dinner that followed was fun and enjoyable. Videl grinned when she saw that Gohan had, once again, eaten beforehand and now ate only a small amount more than a 'normal' person.
*
Videl smiled and sat snuggled into Gohan's arms. After dinner, they had proceeded to walk down by a moonlit lake. The view had been truly breathtaking. Videl sighed happily, this date and this relationship were of the most romantic sort that rarely happen in real life.
^This is the type of thing you read in Romance novels, it doesn't really happen in reality…^
And yet, here she was, on a moonlit walk with the tall dark and handsome man of her dreams. Now they were cuddling happily together on a bench, Gohan had long since taught Videl how to use her ki to warm herself, so she wasn't even cold.
^Oh Gohan…^ Kami but she loved the guy!
Suddenly she felt him shift. He got down on the ground in front of her, elbows resting playfully on her knees and dark eyes peering up into hers. Videl blinked, what on earth was going on?!
"Videl-san, I love you with all of my heart, and I have since I first met you. Will you marry me?"
She stared first at him, and then at the gorgeous diamond ring that was being offered to her. She was numb, 17 years old and the guy she loved was already proposing!
^Hmmm, technically this is just our 2nd date too!^ Well, one thing was for sure, she sure as hell wasn't going to say no!
She beamed, slipped the ring on her finger and pulled him up for a passionate kiss.
His eyes were bright when they pulled away, and he laughed with relieved joy, Jumping to his feet, he pulled her into a warm embrace. He leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"I love you, and I will always love you. Now you know my very last secret."
Videl grinned. "Ditto Son-chan, ditto."
They stayed there, warm in each other's arms.
*
Videl took a deep breath, gathering herself. It would take every ounce of courage she had to confront her father.
Hercule had met Gohan before; Videl had invited all of her friends over countless times. However, what Hercule 'tolerated' in her friends that he didn't 'tolerate' in her boyfriends, was anyone like Gohan. Gohan was too smart, too geeky, and too finely toned for Hercule; he didn't bulge with muscles through his shirts and was unlikely to impress her father as a fiancé.
She was anxious for her father's approval; sure, he WAS the biggest posing jackass she knew, but he WAS her only family. That made him count for something at least.
Videl opened the door and the two lovers stepped in. Before she could do anything, Gohan kissed her softly. "If you'd rather wait to tell your dad for a while, I'm fine with that. No rushing these things."
Videl shook her head. "No, better tell him now so he doesn't figure it out on his own." Gohan raised as eyebrow and would have commented, but just then Hercule entered.
"Where have you been young lady?! It's past 11! Anything could have happened to you! You didn't even let me know where you were!!!" He was thundering in a rage, oblivious to all.
Videl knew her father well enough that she didn't even try to interrupt him. Waiting until he was finished, she stood there looking docile and obedient, not to mention properly ashamed. "Oh daddy, I'm so sorry! I must have forgotten to tell you that Gohan-kun and I were going out for dinner tonight! We went out to that really nice French restaurant on Main Street and then we went for a walk in the park! Oh, and did you know that Gohan is the son of THE Son Goku? Isn't that cool! So I wasn't in any danger."
Gohan was impressed by how efficiently and apparently innocently Videl dealt with her father. She seemed very experienced at this… By the end, he was smiling and nodding.
"So, did you have fun?
"Yup!" she chirped happily. Now came the hard part. How was he going to take this bit of news? "Oh, and daddy," Hercule frowned, what now? "Gohan and I are getting married."
Hercule's jaw hit the floor, soon followed by the rest of him. Videl sighed and walked over, feeing his pulse. "Still alive, but out cold. A little help here hun?"
Gohan sweatdropped before lifting Hercule easily and moved him to his bedroom. Videl followed close behind and pointed out where to put the fighter.
About 5 minutes later Hercule sat up, dazed and disoriented. The first thing he saw was the concerned face of his daughter, smiling down at him.
"What happened?" He asked groggily.
"You passed out 'bout five minutes ago. Gohan had to carry you all the way across the house and up two flights of stairs!"
He stared at the slender youth standing behind Videl. If that kid could carry him without looking ruffled… "I still think you're too young to marry Videl, but if you wait until after you graduate, and you still want to get married… Then I'll give you two my blessing."
Videl grinned in exultation and hugged her father joyfully. "thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!"
Gohan grinned and shook hands with the man who had sidetracked his fame, yet given him something so much better. He turned to the girl he loved so much.
"Well V-chan, do you want to stay here, or would you like to come with me to tell the news to MY family?"
Videl's eyes shown. "Oh, I most definitely want to be there to break the news! But, your house is really far away and it's already pretty late…"
Gohan smiled. "If your father doesn't mind," he glanced significantly over at Hercule, "You could spend the night. You can have my room and I'll sleep with my brother."
Hercule thought a moment, then nodded and Videl clapped her hands. "Hold on and let me get my stuff!"
*
Gohan and Videl landed on the Son's front lawn. They tiptoed in quietly since it was obvious that no one was up. Gohan led Videl into his room, and was about to leave when she stopped him.
"Oh no you don't mister… You're staying RIGHT where you are!"
"Nani?" asked Gohan, slightly confused. Videl didn't answer, but proceeded to change before his eyes, to the joy of Gohan, and pulled him onto the bed.
She smirked seductively and whispered softly into his ear, "don't want to wake the others…"
He grinned, stripped to his boxers, and turned out the light before lieng down next to her on the bed, gently wrapping his muscular arms around his tiny waist. She smiled and kissed him demandingly. He responded by putting butterfly kisses down her neck. She shuddered and picked at his boxers questioningly. He laughed, and we all know what followed was lots of fun.
(Sorry Master Roshi, no lemons in THIS fic! It's just the artificial lemony scent of the chemistry in my nice CLEAN story.) -Oh- and…
Gohan purred deep in his throat; letting instinct take over, he traced his tongue sown Videl's neck. Not knowing precisely why, Videl followed suit. Suddenly Gohan plunged his sharp canines into her slender neck and lapped her warm blood: forever joining them as mates. Surprised by his actions, but even more so by her own; Videl bit into Gohan's neck and lapped hi blood too; completing their bond.
Suddenly a voice spoke in her head. ~I love you Videl-chan.~
Not knowing how, she replied in like. ~I love you too, and I expect a full explanation in the morning!~
She fell asleep to the sound of her love chuckling.
***That Morning***
Nobody else in the Son household knew that Videl had spent the night.
Goten woke up and, as usual, he headed to his brother's room for the morning wake up call. He reached the door then barreled in screaming.
"WAKE UP NII-CHAN!!!" He bounced onto his brother's bare chest.
Gohan groaned and Goten stopped bouncing when his brother sat up, revealing a very naked Videl rubbing her eyes. Goten's eyes got huge as he stared at the obviously naked couple blinking sleepily.
As soon as he got over the shock, he began screaming. Videl and Gohan finally registered his presence and began screaming as well, Videl turning red and pulling the blankets up to cover her bare torso. Goten stopped screaming and began whimpering instead as Gohan and Videl, both brilliant shades of red, turned their shocked screams into words.
"Goten! Don't you ever knock?!?!"
Goten just whimpered something about scarred for life.
Suddenly Chichi burst into the room, dressed in a bathrobe, armed with her Frying Pan, and ready for action. She quickly assessed the situation with surprising accuracy, and crowed with delight.
"I'M GOING TO HAVE GRANDCHILDREN!!!" With that, she grabbed Goten by the ear and dragged him downstairs, singing cheerfully and determined to call Bulma as soon as possible.
Gohan turned to Videl to apologize for his family. She laughed him off and shut him up with a kiss, letting the blankets fall again so both hands were free to, explore. Things were just getting interesting when Chichi's voice came from downstairs, summoning the two lovebirds to breakfast. They sighed with regret and got dressed before heading down to eat.
~So tell me Gohan; why is it I can talk to you in my head now?~
~It's called a bond. It's something Saiya-jins as well as a few other races can do. It has to do with the mark on your neck. Forever and ever we are mates and will be connected. Because we Saiya-jins are so instinctual, we never mess up on the mate thing, so this just shows that our marriage is bound to be happy.~
Videl nodded bemusedly as Gohan continues attacking the pancakes in front of him. Well, it seemed the bond was useful for one thing at least, you could carry on quite pleasant dinner/breakfast conversations without having to stop eating! Quite a useful tool for a Saiya-jin.
Glancing over at Goten, she was surprised to see that he wasn't eating! He was picking at his breakfast with a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong Goten?"
Chichi looked up, noticing his lack of appetite as well. "Yes Goten hunny, what's wrong?"
"…I'm…not hungry…" whispered the demi Saiya-jin queasily.
Silence so profound you could've heard a pin drop spread throughout the house.
"Nani?!" Gohan cried, shattering the stillness.
Right away Chichi began fussing over her younger son.
Goten pulled away mumbling. "No…sorry…scarred for life…Master Roshi…"
Videl couldn't help it, at the mention of the old pervert's name she burst out laughing. "Uh oh Gohan, I think we really damaged your little brother!"
"Well, it's his own fault! He ought to learn to knock!"
Goten merely shuddered and slowly began to shovel food into his mouth.
Videl was reaching across the table for the syrup when suddenly Chichi grabbed her hand and examined the ring on her finger. Hearts formed in her eyes.
"My baby boy is all grown up and is getting MARRIED!!!"
She began squealing and jumping up and down, pulling both into a tight squeeze. Videl began to turn blue as her mother-in-law-to-be obliviously screamed happily. Gohan decided to attempt diversionary tactics to get away from his rabid mother.
"MOM!" He yelled, breaking through to her, though her eyes were still hearts. "Videl and I will be late for school if we don't leave soon!"
Chichi immediately let go and shooed them out the door; waving as Gohan scooped Videl into his arms and flew off.
Even after they were a good dozen miles away, they could still hear the insane cries of Chichi.
"I'M GOING TO BE A GRRAAAAANNDMMMMMAAAAAAAAA!!!"
A/N: Phew! *wipes sweat from forehead* That was getting pretty long there! I hope you're happy with this chapter and you better not complain about it being too short! *glares menacingly at readers*
I know it's moving a bit fast, but look at it this way; they've known each other for four years, and have been really good friends. Videl knows all of Gohan's 'secrets' and it's not like they don't know each other. In fact, they probably know each other better then a lot of people do when they get married!
I hope you weren't too dead set on a full lemon, I tried to compromise by giving you a partial one.
Please review and stay tuned for the next chappie of 'Getting Together At Last'.
