------The Clothes Off Your Back------

The next morning, Gohan woke up with a groan. Looking over at his alarm clock, he was surprised.

"Well, looks like I managed to get almost three hours of sleep," Gohan mumbled sleepily. Goten and Trunks hadn't gone to bed until nearly 3:30 in the morning and had been active enough to keep Gohan up until then. Unfortunately, Gohan didn't have a child's endless amount of energy to replenish him and wished fervently that he didn't have to go to school, but knew that he did.

Pushing himself out of bed laboriously, Gohan stumbled over to his closet and picked out something that he hoped remotely matched. Gohan then decided that the only way he was going to fully wake up was a cold shower, the only thing strong enough to jolt him out of his sleepy state. Just as Gohan thought, he woke up with a yelp as the freezing cold water hit his skin.

"Now THIS is going to be a crappy day," Gohan muttered to himself as he showered, trying his hardest to ignore the cold spray at his back. After finishing his shower, Gohan dried off with his ki and dressed in a rather simple ensemble: a long-sleeved, white button down shirt and a pair of khaki slacks. Dressed and ready to go, Gohan made his way downstairs, only to see his mother making breakfast, looking as if she had a full night's rest.

"How'd you do it?" Gohan asked. Chi-Chi let out a small scream and turned, glaring slightly at Gohan.

"Would you please announce your presence next time?" Chi-Chi asked. Gohan blushed sheepishly.

"Sorry," Gohan mumbled as he sat down at the table, "But my question still stands. How come you look like you got all the sleep in the world?" Chi-Chi grinned at Gohan over her shoulder.

"Easy, sleeping pills," Chi-Chi responded. Gohan's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"Sleeping pills? Mom, how often do you take those?" Gohan asked out of worry.

"Only when Trunks is over," Chi-Chi said as if it was the most obvious thing. Gohan breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Oh, good. You know those are habit forming, don't you?" Chi-Chi nodded.

"That's why I only take them when situations like this come up," Chi-Chi said, referring to Trunks coming over as one of those situations.

"That's a relief," Gohan said, eyeing his mother carefully as she scrutinized him.

"What?" he asked. Chi-Chi eyed him for a few more seconds before putting down what she was doing and walking over to her oldest son. Reaching out with her hands, she unbuttoned the top few buttons of Gohan's shirt.

"There, much better. I swear, you Saiya-jins always look better when the top few buttons of a shirt are undone. Shows off that muscular chest," Chi-Chi said nonchalantly, turning back to finishing off breakfast. Gohan blushed at the remark, but let it slide, not having the energy to get worked up about it.

Breakfast, as usual, turned out to be a wonderful affair for anything have to do with food is wonderful to a Saiya-jin. Gohan quickly polished off his breakfast, putting down his chopsticks with a broad smile on his face.

"Fantastic, as usual mom," Gohan said, leaning over to give Chi-Chi a kiss on the cheek. Chi-Chi smiled at the compliment.

"Thank you, Gohan," Chi-Chi said, glancing over at the clock, "You better get going or you'll be late for school." Gohan nodded, grabbed a lunch capsule and his bag before rushing out the door.

"Bye mom!" Gohan called out as he shut the door behind him. Chi-Chi smiled and sighed before turning back to make more food for her other son and his friend.

Gohan flew to school at a moderate pace and arrived at his usual landing spot with more than enough time to get to school. The walk to school was rather uneventful, but the minute he stepped onto school grounds, all female eyes were, once again, on him. Gohan shook his head in disappointment, for he had hoped, foolishly hoped, but hoped nonetheless, that he wouldn't be the focus of attention again that day. Sadly, no such luck.

Deciding to ignore all the stares he was receiving, Gohan made his way to his classroom, smiling slightly as he found Videl sitting in her seat, occupying her time with a book. He took his usual seat, which was now next to Videl's said, and placed his bag on the floor.

"'Morning, Videl," Gohan said. Videl glanced over, immediately noticing the part of his chest that was shown off through the top of his unbuttoned shirt.

"Good morning, Gohan," Videl said, still looking at him, "You look tired." Gohan chuckled.

"That's because I am. Trunks, Bulma's son, spent the night last night with Goten. They stayed up all night long and didn't go to bed until about 3:30 this morning. I got about three hours of sleep," Gohan explained. Videl gave Gohan a small smile.

"I'm sorry. That must have sucked. But, it could be worse, you know," Videl said. Gohan chuckled again.

"Don't I know it? Bulma and Vegeta could have decided to spend the night as well," Gohan said. Videl raised an eyebrow.

"And why would that be so bad?" Videl inquired. Gohan looked over at Videl.

"Well, you see, Bulma and Vegeta are rather active at night, just in a different way, if you catch my drift." A light blush spread to Videl's cheeks as she comprehended Gohan's meaning.

"You're right, that would be worse," Videl said.

"It would be especially worse considering how neither of them is very quiet when pursuing these nightly activities," Gohan said remorsefully. Gohan, however much he wouldn't admit it, was used to such noises. His parents, to his embarrassment, were the same when Goku was alive.

Hmm, wonder if it's a Saiya-jin thing to be quite noisy, Gohan thought with a blush. Videl noticed the light coloring on Gohan's cheeks and raised an eyebrow.

"You ok, Gohan?" Videl asked. Gohan shook himself out of his thoughts and his blush disappeared.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Gohan replied just as the sensei walked into class, prepared to start the morning's lecture.

***

Lunch had arrived all too quickly for Gohan's liking. Sending Videl ahead of him, Gohan stayed behind in class to talk to his sensei about some extra work to occupy his time at home in the hopes that if he lingered behind in class, his fan club, as he was calling them, would get bored from waiting for him and go off to lunch. But, as was said earlier, Gohan had no such luck.

The moment he exited his classroom, he spotted a large group of girls running for him. Gohan let out a yell of surprise before turning and running in the opposite direction, hoping to lose them. Unfortunately for Gohan, the group of girls running behind him was just a ruse to trap him elsewhere. Running down the halls, he didn't notice at an upcoming corner that there was another smaller group of girls, all of them waiting to pounce.

As he ran by, they reached out for him, but only managed to snag his shirt. The shirt, flimsy as it was compared to Gohan's strength, ripped off easily as Gohan ran in the opposite direction that the shirt was being pulled in. Gohan didn't even notice as he ran through the double doors that led to the courtyard. The moment he stepped outside, everybody spotted him, completely shirtless. Gohan froze, wondering what they were all staring at for several moments before Videl approached him, trying her hardest not to stare at his bare chest.

"Hey Gohan, what happened to your shirt?" Videl asked. Gohan looked at her, confusion spelled out on his face, before looking down. When he was he was sans shirt, he let out a loud yell.

"What happened to my shirt?" Gohan exclaimed before turning around and swinging the double doors behind him wide open. There, he saw a scene reminiscent of the day before: a large group of cheerleaders, or Stripleaders if you prefer, fighting over something that Gohan instinctively knew was his shirt. Gohan moaned and dropped his head into his hands.

"Great, now I have no shirt at all. I give up. I might as well come to school naked," Gohan murmured to himself. Videl placed a hand on his shoulder and Gohan ignored the feeling of her hand on his skin.

"Well, at least you still have your pants," Videl said, "Be lucky they haven't stolen those." Gohan turned and looked over at her.

"At this rate, I'm not going to have any clothes left!" Gohan exclaimed. Videl just looked at him with sympathy as he turned back to the fight over his shirt. Videl took that opportunity to shamelessly check out Gohan's bare torso.

Damn, he really is built! Videl mentally exclaimed, her eyes looking over everything from his well formed arms to his washboard stomach. She couldn't help but be impressed at the sight. I wonder how he got all those muscles, Videl thought, turning her head to see Sharpener approaching.

"Hey, Gohan, sorry about your shirt," Sharpener said as he stood on the other side of Gohan, "Here you can borrow my shirt. Just try to not stretch it out too much." Videl watched as Sharpener removed his outer shirt, noticing for the first time that he was wearing a style the emulated the one Gohan had worn the day before. Sharpener handed Gohan the white, short-sleeved shirt and Gohan took it gratefully.

"Thanks, Sharpener," Gohan said as he put it on, buttoning it up. He was a little disappointed to see that it didn't fit him that well across his chest, but he supposed it was better than nothing, so he left the top few buttons undone.

"No problem, buddy," Sharpener said, clapping Gohan on the back. Gohan looked back at the group fighting over his shirt and sighed.

"I just want to ignore that and eat lunch now," Gohan said as he pulled a capsule from his pocket. Sharpener and Videl nodded before the three of them went over to where Eraser was waiting underneath their usual tree.

"Hey Gohan," Eraser greeted, "I saw what happened over there. They just won't leave you alone, will they?" Gohan shook his head ruefully.

"No, unfortunately, they won't. I'm getting quite sick of it," Gohan admitted. Eraser gave Gohan a gentle smile.

"Well, just forget about it for the moment. I'm sure you're hungry. Eating will make you feel better," Eraser comforted. Gohan smiled in return.

"You're right, Eraser. Eating does always make me feel better." And, with that, Gohan opened up the capsule containing the day's lunch and, with fervor, the four teenagers began eating their lunch.

The next morning, Gohan woke up the sound of his alarm and almost tossed a ki blast at it for he did not want to get out of bed.

"Thursday. I hate Thursdays," Gohan grumbled. Thursday was Gohan's least favorite day of the week for on Thursday, the two classes before lunch were replaced with PE and Gohan always found a way to embarrass himself at least once in PE.

Well, at least mom did my laundry yesterday, Gohan smiled, getting out of bed. Picking out his usual school clothes, Gohan went through his normal morning routine before heading down to the kitchen for breakfast. Chi-Chi turned around as she heard her son enter the kitchen, looking much happier than he had for the past few days. Chi-Chi smiled.

"Good morning, Gohan. Your breakfast is almost ready," Chi-Chi announced. Gohan smiled back at Chi-Chi.

"Thanks, mom," Gohan said, sitting down at the table, "Oh, by the way, thanks for doing my laundry yesterday." Chi-Chi dismissed Gohan's words with a wave of her hand.

"It was nothing, Gohan. Just doing my job as your mother," Chi-Chi said. She then turned back to her task of making breakfast and silence fell in the kitchen. Moments later, a small blur blew into the kitchen in the form of a little boy. Goten immediately took his seat at the table.

"Hey mom, is breakfast almost ready?" Goten asked. Gohan could see Goten almost drooling at the thought of food.

"In a minute, Goten," Chi-Chi answered patiently. The two young half Saiya-jins waited for their breakfast, Goten not quite so patiently, and, just like Chi-Chi promised, food was on the table a few minutes later. Gohan and Goten both went after their food in a very Saiya-jin-like manner, Gohan eating at a slightly faster pace than Goten since he had to leave for school soon.

Gohan finished his breakfast rather quickly, rising from his seat the second he finished. Grabbing his bag, he gave Chi-Chi a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I'll see you when I get home," Gohan announced as he ran out the front door and took to the skies. Flying to school, Gohan took the opportunity to admire the landscape for the first time in a few days. As he flew over woods and hills, Gohan couldn't help but smile.

It is rather pretty out here. I can see why dad decided to live out here, Gohan thought as he quickly approached Satan City. Gohan soon spotted his normal, deserted landing area and descended rapidly, moving at speeds that were too fast for normal humans to see. From there, it was only a quick walk to school.

A short ten minutes later, Gohan set foot onto the grounds of Orange Star High School. All around him, he saw all the girls perk up as they spotted him and heard many grumbles of disappointment that he was dressed in his normal clothes. But, that still didn't stop them from looking at him. It seemed that even though he was dressed normally again, they female student body wasn't going to forget the display Son Gohan had put on for the three days before. Gohan sighed with resignation.

School's never going to be the same again, Gohan thought, only slightly disappointed since he didn't expect anything much different. As he made his way to his classroom, he spotted Videl walking a few feet ahead of him.

"Hey Videl," Gohan called out as he approached her. Videl turned around and, seeing Gohan, smiled widely at him.

"Good morning, Gohan," Videl said, "I can see that you're back to your usual style this morning." Gohan nodded, slightly taken aback by Videl's dazzling and sincere smile.

"Yup, my mom did my laundry yesterday," Gohan said proudly.

"Happy to have things back to normal?" Videl asked. Gohan shrugged as his smile faded a bit.

"Yeah, I guess. Though girls are still staring at me. I wish they wouldn't do that," Gohan commented. Videl laughed slightly.

"Gohan, they're never going to stop doing that. They were doing that before Monday. You've always been known as cute around this school. Now all the girls think you're hot," Videl explained. Gohan looked shocked before a small, teasing smile appeared on his face.

"Do you think I'm hot, Videl?" Gohan asked. Though Videl could hear the teasing tone in his voice, she still blushed lightly at the question. Turning to him, she gave him a punch on the arm.

"I think you're good-looking, you dork. Does that answer your question?" Videl inquired gruffly. Gohan nodded.

"Yeah, but you didn't have to get so angry," Gohan said, "One might think that with your tone of voice, you were trying to hide something." Videl's eyes widened.

"I'm not trying to hide anything, Gohan. Now, come one, let's go to class." Gohan smirked.

"Yes, ma'am," Gohan said, mock-saluting her. Videl rolled her eyes.

"Very funny, Sergeant," Videl dead-panned. Gohan laughed.

"I thought so, too."

Videl is such a dominatrix in her own way, don't you think? I mean, Gohan could, physically, easily be so subdued if he weren't so fricken strong, you know?
