Hi everybody! Wow! Almost all of you said Field Trip was the best. I know that you were all trying to make me feel good and stuff, but I know that there are much better fics out there, I've read a lot of them. If you want a list then just ask (yeah right). Sorry I haven't updated for awhile but I've got finals today and tomorrow. Not that most of you care. This chapter might be kinda sappy. I'm thinking about trying my hand at romance but I'm not sure. So without any more excuses, on with the fic!
Star Light
It didn't take as long for the effects of The Puppy Dog Look to wear off as Gohan feared. After half an hour, she could go an incredible 4 ft. from him. After an hour and a half, she was almost completely back to normal. She was now standing a couple feet away from him, and staring at him as he ate.
'How is it that he can eat that much? I don't even think that it's humanly possible! And those guys over there are almost as bad as he is.' Gohan paused and looked up at her and smiled. 'Damnit! Why am I getting so close to this guy! I mean sure he's cute and smart and got one hell of a body, but why do I feel all warm and safe around him.' She blushed slightly and smiled back at him.
Gohan continued to look at Videl, staring into her eyes. ' What's going on with me. I can't keep my thoughts off of her anymore. I can't even concentrate on eating. I feel so happy around her. She's been through a lot and it shows, no matter how much she tries to hide it. I just want to comfort her. But how can I get close enough to her for her to tell me what's wrong!' Abruptly Gohan stood up. Motioning for Videl to follow him, he left the 'cafeteria' and set off at a brisk pace down the hall. Not wanting to be left behind, Videl sped up her pace to catch up to him.
"Gohan where are we going?"
Gohan turned to her and smiled. " It's a surprise." Was all he said as he stopped in front of one of the many elevators and pressed the button. They waited a few moments until the door opened and stepped into the elevator. Pressing the appropriate button the doors slid closed and the elevator gave a small lurch and started to move upwards.
Videl looked at him questioningly. Gohan just smiled turned to the door, which was slowly sliding open. Gohan, followed by Videl, stepped out onto a small balcony. Looking around Videl saw that it gotten dark already and the balcony was at the top of the massive building. She threw another look at Gohan, who chuckled and looked up. Videl followed his gaze and looked up into the night sky. She gasped. All the stars were out and shining in all their glory, almost mocking all the lights in the city. She had seen stars before of course, but she had never paused to examine their beauty and majesty. Not until she had met Gohan. " Gohan, its beautiful!" She looked over at the boy and was surprised that he had a look of longing on his face as stared at the stars. She softly whispered, "Gohan?" Gohan looked at her and once again smiled. She looked deep into his black eyes and saw the cheerfulness and innocence that she had come expect from him. Then she seemed to almost hit a wall. A wall that kept her from seeing anything except that same cheerfulness. She reached up and lightly touched his cheek. Immediately the wall shattered and she let out a barely audible gasp. The pain in his eyes was almost more than she could bear. But she kept staring determinedly into his eyes. She was hoping to find the same cheerfulness that she always looked for in Gohan, but she didn't find it. All she found was the seemingly endless pain and guilt and the longing that she had seen earlier. The sorrow that she felt for him was unbearable and she could feel tears well up in her eyes. " I'm so sorry Gohan, I'm so sorry." She whispered as a tear rolled down her cheek.
Gohan watched as the tear slowly fell. Without thinking he reached out and lightly brushed the tear away and gathered her in his arms. He buried his face in her hair (I guess I forgot but her hair is short, like at the World Tournament). 'This is NOT the way it was supposed to be. I'm supposed to be comforting her, not the other way around. Well I am getting closer to her. No matter how strong she is, she still looks so fragile. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to her.'
The moment was shattered when Bulma's voice blared over an intercom," All students need to return to there room. Lights out in 30 minutes!"
Reluctantly Gohan released Videl from his embrace. He smiled reassuringly and lightly pushed her towards the elevator. " Come on Videl, lets get going." Once inside Videl dried her eyes so they wouldn't look swollen. " Come on Videl cheer up. We can go swimming again tomorrow, if you want."
This was probably the most inopportune time for Gohan to mention anything about swimming. Videl's eyes hardened as turned to face the young half-sayan," Speaking of swimming, Gohan, what was that all about earlier. I happen to be the fastest swimmer in the city, and there is no way for any one to swim that fast, webbed hands or not." At that moment the doors opened and Gohan was about to make a run for it when she grabbed the back of his shirt," Oh, no ya don't. Aren't going to be gentleman and walk me to my room," she said as she grinned wickedly at him. Gohan just nodded numbly and headed down the hall toward Videl's room and stopped in front of Videl's door.
Gohan was about to leave when she stopped him again. " Ahhh, come on Videl, I walked you to your room." He was prepared to use the Puppy Dog Look, but only if it was completely necessary. Knowing the effects of the last time, she would probably not let go of him and they'd end up sleeping together. And while he wasn't too bothered by that he was afraid his saiyan-side would take over and it would escalate to more than just simply sleeping in the same bed. Preparing for the worst, Gohan was about to unleash it when Videl stood up on her toes and kissed him softly on the cheek. She then turned around and walked into her room.
Gohan stood there for what seemed hours. Bulma announcing that it was
5 minutes till lights out brought him back to the real world. He quickly ran to his
room and, after casting one last look at Videl's closed door, went inside. He
looked over at his bed, he nearly passed out when he realized that his children
from the future were still asleep. 'Holy shit, that's like 10 hours of sleep already.
Someone will be up early tomorrow.' He looked over at Trunks' bed and smirked
when he saw that it was empty. 'He's probably unconscious in some hallway
beaten, branded, and bruised. Gohan crawled into Trunks' bed and smiled
contentedly, unaware of the next days activities.
Well was that not one of the corniest chapters ever written. Just say the word and
I'll try to never write romance again. I just wanted to ask everyone if I should do
that one bonding thing where they can hear each others thoughts. And this time
the question is:
What is the best type of Fanfic (Ex:Gohan Humor, Gohan/Videl Humor, B/V)
