The day of the saiyans vs. Frieza's men had come. Hours before Gohan was to report to the loading bay for departure to the planet Videl had to see him. The one person she had first despised so much for kidnapping her and destroying all the people she knew and loved, that one person she hated she was a now good friend with. He had to come back that she knew. Right then Gohan was getting his things ready. Videl wanted to say goodbye, she wanted Gohan to have a reason to stay alive. Videl walked into Gohan's bedroom even though she was not to and found Gohan in deep meditation. Videl walked up to Gohan quietly and whispered, "Gohan I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to speak to you."
"Very well, I was going to talk to you too." Said Gohan without opening his eyes.
"Well I wanted to say goodbye before you left." Said Videl.
"Is that all?" asked Gohan.
Videl just stood there for a moment silently. After a few minutes of silence Videl couldn't hold in her feelings any longer. She fell upon Gohan like he was her only source of life. "Oh Gohan don't go, don't leave me. If you died I wouldn't know anyone else and I would be all alone, I don't want to be alone Gohan, I-I want to be with you." Videl cried into Gohan's chest.
Gohan was in shock, he would never have expected Videl to say anything like that. Gohan didn't know what else to do except hold her. As Gohan enclosed Videl in his arms and told her it would be all right Videl instantly felt better. As she stopped crying and sat up Gohan touched Videl's face and wiped away a stray tear. Videl closed her eyes and put her hand over Gohan's hand. Gohan had to tell her right then and now how he felt about her. If he was to die that day he at least wanted Videl to know how he felt about her. He also had to know how she felt about him and if it was meant to be. "Videl I must tell you something." Gohan said.
"Yes." Replied Videl as Gohan and her hands' intertwined.
"Videl, I-I love you." Gohan said finally lifting the question off his chest.
Videl looked at Gohan for a moment. Had her ears deceived her or had she just heard the words she had wanted to hear for what seemed like an eternity from the one man she felt the same way about.
"What?" asked Videl making sure she heard the right words or her ears had truly deceived her.
"I said I love you Videl, with all my heart." Said Gohan.
Videl smiled at Gohan as she said, "I love you too, Gohan.
Gohan felt a heavy load be lifted off his shoulders. He was glad to finally know how Videl felt about him and even happier to know they were meant to be. Gohan then moved towards Videl as he slowly brought his hands to rest at Videl's waist as his lips met hers. Videl melted under his touch and the feel of his lips. She rapped her arms around Gohan's back and leaned into him. It was a first kiss for both of them and they shared that first kiss with passion. After their lips parted Gohan laid with Videl in his arms down on the bed and thought about what he and Videl would do after he got back from battle with Frieza's men. What if he didn't come back though? No he would come back, he would come back for Videl and make her his mate. Wait did he just think that? He did, but if he made her his mate he would be banished from planet Vegeta, he would never see his family again. Was he willing to give up everything he had worked so hard his whole life to achieve? Yes he was and he would for his love for Videl. He was willing to give up his freedom for her. The eyes he had first had a nightmare about so long ago had come back to haunt him. They would drown him in their depths. Drown him in the love they possessed.
