Teenage Saiyans and Superheroes
Chapter 6- Sleeping Arrangements
By Me (SaiyanLover)
"Gohan! Videl! Dinnertime!" Chi Chi yelled up the stairs. When she got no response after several seconds, she frowned, believing that Gohan was ignoring her on purpose. She made a mental note to re-teach Gohan his manners.
But then she realized that maybe that might mean that ...something was going on. She smirked evilly, looking much younger, sassier, and saiyan-like. She slowly placed her foot on the top step and walked up the stairs slowly without making a single sound.
When she reached Gohan's room, she leaned down carefully and put her ear to the wooden door. Yes, she knew eavesdropping, okay okay, SPYING was wrong, but she felt like she had every right to know what her precious baby was doing with his future wife.
Not a sound came to Chi Chi's alert ear. Her eyes narrowed and making a decision, she knocked on the door three times, only to receive no answer. Satisfied that she would not be interrupting anything, she opened the door and saw, to her relief and disappointment, that neither teenager was there.
Glancing around the room, she saw an open Calculus book, and she beamed with pride, guessing that Gohan had been helping Videl with her homework, because she knew he could do it in his sleep. After all, SHE had taught him.
She walked over to the window, wondering if they had gone outside. As she passed by Gohan's bed she absentmindedly smoothed the covers, being the neat freak that she was.
Sure enough, there were Gohan and Videl sitting on the ground outside, laughing. She smiled, when a yellow blur caught her eye.
-Nimbus? What's it doing?-
As if in answer to her question, it made a steep dive and hovered next to Videl, who was blushing slightly as she laughed. Chi Chi smiled and leaned against the windowsill, content just to watch them so happy.
Videl stood up, wiping tears from her eyes, and Gohan did the same. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, Chi Chi could see their lips moving. Gohan took Videl's hand and helped her step onto Nimbus.
Chi Chi smiled, delighted when Videl stayed on the cloud. So was Videl, for she promptly grinned and did a little bounce before throwing herself off the cloud into Gohan's arms.
The two stood that way for a moment, Gohan's arms wrapped around Videl, her face on his shoulder. Chi Chi rested her head against the warm glass of the window. She couldn't even remember the last time she had seen her son so happy.
A contented sigh escaped her lips, and she forced herself to interrupt their fun. Opening the window, she leaned her head out.
"Gohan! Videl! Dinner's ready!" Both teens jumped at the sound of her voice, and they sprang apart quickly. Even from a distance, Chi Chi could see that they were blushing.
"We'll be right in, Mom!" Gohan yelled back at her. Satisfied, Chi Chi shut the window and trekked back down the stairs to serve the food.
Gohan and Videl stared up at the window where Chi chi had just disappeared. It was silent for several seconds, until Videl began to giggle.
"How long do you think she was standing there watching us?" she asked. Gohan smiled.
"I actually don't want to know." He grabbed her hand. "Come on, let's go eat!" She rolled her eyes.
"okay, mr. Saiyan appetite. Let's eat." He smiled at her and began walking towards the house. Suddenly he felt something pull him back. He turned around and saw Videl smiling at him.
"Gohan, can I ask you a favor?" He turned around to face her, curious as to what kind of favor she wanted. "Can we watch the stars come out tonight?" Gohan raised his eyebrows.
"Sure. May I ask why?" She smiled.
"You can't see them at my house, and the other day, I wondered if you could see them at yours." "Yes, you can. They're quite beautiful. You'll see." She smiled again, and reached forward to pull him into a hug. He returned the embrace, feeling her heart beating against his chest.
"Gohan, I love you." He smiled into her hair.
"I love you, Videl."
"Chi Chi, I wish I could cook as good as you! This is incredible!" Videl gushed as they ate their supper. It was no exaggeration- Chi Chi's cooking was marvelous.
"Thank you Videl. That's very sweet. Have as much as you like." The older woman smiled, and Videl returned it.
"Brother?" Goten asked, stopping his gobbling for a moment. Gohan had a bite halfway to his mouth, but placed it back on his plate.
"What is it, Goten?" The child-like face looked at his older brother with curiosity.
"Where is Videl going to sleep?" All three other occupants of the table froze. This was something none of them had thought about (besides Gohan's imagination running away with him)
"Uhh.." was all that Gohan could say, for he was busy mentally battling his saiyan side. Videl blushed and looked down at her plate. Chi Chi said and did nothing, but waited to see how Gohan would get himself out of this little predicament.
"She could sleep with you, couldn't she Gohan? Your bed's big enough." Innocent though it was, his comment put Gohan in a state of agony, silently battling his imagination.
"Goten, boys and girls usually don't sleep together unless they're married." Chi Chi explained in a calm voice, seeing that neither teen was responding.
"But it will be okay because they're going to get married, right MommY?" He asked, totally innocent. Gohan choked, and Videl covered her mouth to hide her giggles.
"I guess it would be all right," Chi Chi said sneakily. Videl's eyes widened and Gohan looked up with horror in his eyes. Chi Chi giggled. "But I don't think Gohan's bed is big enough for both of them."
"Actually.." Gohan started to interrupt, then realized what he was saying. His face turned red and Videl bit back a smile.
"Gohan will sleep on the couch, and Videl can sleep in his bed."
"Oh, no. Gohan can keep his bed. I'll sleep on the couch." Videl protested, feeling slightly gulitly.
"Nonsense Videl, you're a guest." Chi Chi argued. Videl looked over at Gohan apologetically, but he was smiling at her. She smiled back.
