Hotaru had very much trouble getting to sleep. She did not wish to see
Trunks, but she did glance at him when she passed his bed on her way to the
balcony. She closed the door behind her, though not completely so she could
get back in, and began to focus on feeling weightless. She did so at a very
slow rate, but it paid off, because she was floating about 3 and 1/2 feet
off the ground when she was finished focusing. She sat in the air for a
while, contemplating what was going on. She meditated, keeping her emotions
in check, and she floated there in the air. She felt the need to feel a
soft breeze in the stifling air, and her wish was granted. But having not
completely closed the door as she'd have liked, the breeze blew the
curtains as well, distracting the groggy Trunks.
Trunks looked up at the swaying curtains and saw a crack in the door. He went up to the door to close it, essentially locking it as well. But then he noticed the ki. It was Hotaru's. Outside. He looked out and saw her frail form floating peacefully. He smiled softly, left the door the way it was, and climbed into his own bed.
Hotaru, being intune with nature all around her at the time, sensed Trunks awaken and get up to close the door. 'If he thinks I don't know he's there, he won't bother me.' Hotaru thought, never once breaking a thread of focus. Her iron self-control showing proudly. But it would soon be shattered. Once Trunks's ki was steady, and she was quite sure he'd fallen asleep, Hotaru let herself float gently back to the ground. She walked back into the room, slowly, but when she came even with Trunks's bed, she stopped. She turned, went up to his sleeping figure, and for a split-second, gently pressed her lips upon his. Then she was instantly in her own bed, not knowing why she had done that.
