Forgotten Pleasures

Chapter Ten: Waiting

"Pan?"

I've been waiting my whole life for this and yet I'm scared of it. Saying yes will seal my future; saying no will leave it undecided. Growing up I had found my future already sealed in the world of art. After that star-crossed night six years ago my future became flexible and no longer a straight path and part of me loved it but the fact-of-the-matter is I love him more than I love any silly path.

He waited six years for me and I put him through hell and a pain that nearly killed him because of a ridiculous misunderstanding. Fate had its cruel intentions on us but destiny has brought us back to this same place and moment. And I'm terrified. I had no idea I would be apart of a romance story that trashy love novels write about.

I cannot make my decision now but I know that he's what I want. Screw writing and art when I can have him. A career doesn't keep you warm at night and it sure as hell doesn't love you this much.

This will happen later, I know my decision comes soon but not this soon. There are things needing to be taken care of and for now I must make my love wait for me one last time. There is a very STUPID reason to make him wait. I'm too much of a romantic like him. I pray he can wait for me one last time. God only knows how much I need to be with him in order to live…

"Pan?"

Pan stared at the ground and then looked up into his eyes. Tears threatened to spill and he could tell she was debating.

"Can you wait one last time?" she pleaded as her glassy chocolate eyes stole his sky blue.

(AN: Don't get frustrated you guys will get your happy ending!)

Trunks was stunned; he couldn't comprehend what she meant but he responded.

"Another six years! What do you have an outrageously large obsession for leaving me for long periods of time!" He said.

Pan flinched at his harsh sarcastic tone and looked down at the ground.

"This requires no more fighting…" He cut her off.

"Then maybe we should! Because I don't want to live without you!"

"Let me finish! Please Trunks listen to me! I'm twenty- three years old and I'm practically a confused teenager still! And you're thirty, almost thirty one, and you're not like me…" He cut her off again.

"So now we're going into age difference! Pan Son finds another fantastic excuse!"

Pan started to sob and put her hands over her eyes. She was trying so hard to make him understand. His tone was cruel and hard to read. What if he wouldn't want her anymore? She wanted to turn away from him; she hated crying in front of him.

Trunks grabbed her arm refusing to let her get away. He was going crazy so much that he had broken her and made her cry. He should have let her explain.

Taking her into his arms he buried his face into her jet black hair and said, "I'm sorry baby. I just…don't understand. I can feel that you love me just as much as I love you but you're confused and I don't know why."

Pan's voice was cracked and sullen from crying as she said, "I've been trying to tell you I need to take care of a few things before I say anything so my answer right now is waiting for me one last time. Can you do that?"

"I'd wait for you forever except I don't want to do that. Tell me I don't have to wait long."

"Not long at all I promise," She murmured in the crook of his neck.

"Then why are you still sobbing stop it. We're ok. Baby I'm sorry I was mean to you earlier you know I didn't mean it!"

Pan started sobbing more.

"What wrong now!"

"Nothing I swear!" She said looking back up at him smiling, "but you know it's a natural instinct to cry more when somebody says 'stop crying."

Trunks smiled and lazily rolled his eyes and said, "What I'm I going to do with you?"

Pan dried the last few tears from her face and eyes and had a mischievous look in her eyes. She put her hands on his chest and put her lips to his ear and grinned evilly.

Stroking his chest she said, "Well I think you know what to do. Just subtract all the accessories from my body and I may just be right."

Trunks shivered at her tone then he smirked and replied, "Just tell me that dress you're wearing is an 'accessory' and you may just be right."

"Oh it defiantly is," she said kissing his ear. Their conversation went quick after that action.

"Can you wait five minutes?"

"No but if we fly we can get there faster."

"You're right my car will be fine alone for tonight."

"Race you," Pan didn't give him a second glance as she took off into the sky.

Trunks was dumbfounded at first but then he smirked and took off after her. He tried several times to grab her but she would laugh and blast off faster. As they neared the palace Pan slowed down dramatically and Trunks ran into her. They tumbled onto his balcony and Trunks landed on top of her. He quickly straddled her hips and brought his lips to hers. She didn't object to him and so she curled her fingers around his neck to bring him closer.

His tongue stroked hers in unimaginable hot ways that made her squirm with delight. He smirked with her lips on his. He descended onto her neck and traced her collarbone with his tongue. He pushed her dress strap away with his hands and began on her shoulders.

Pan felt him go hard above her and she moaned abruptly as soon as she felt it. The last time she had felt this was too long ago.

"T-trunks," she moaned out, "bed n-now."

"The walls will shake no matter where we are," he stated like it was nothing.

"Trunks!" she exclaimed and blushed.

"You know I'm joking!" he laughed as she hit him in the head playfully.

He picked her up and cradled her like a baby while he maneuvered to the inside of his room by closing his balcony doors with his side waist. When he put her down nothing could stop the quick heated need they had for each other. He kissed her with everything they had missed together over the years. He removed the complicated but very gold sexy dress with one swift move and she didn't bother to unbutton his white dress shirt with her hands. She just ripped it apart with her teeth at his collar. Once the shirt was off she kissed up and down his neck and put her tongue out in swirling motions with her mouth still clamped to his neck.

Trunks moaned and while he unclamped her bra he said, "Where did you learn to do that?"

Pan took her nails and stroked it up his chest and said, "I have my ways."

"So do I," he said abruptly before ripping off her panties with his index finger. Pan didn't want to be the only one who was unclothed at the moment. She took the band of his boxers and removed them swiftly.

Trunks threw her on the bed and he quickly toppled on top of her. His arousal pressed up against her legs and she felt sensations, colors, and passion that had not been there for six years. There was a god and a heaven. Pan Son was finally happy.

(AN: Sorry no lemon. If I get reported I'll cry. I'm not going to risk it.)

Trunks had collapsed onto Pan and he let his sweat mingle with hers. Needless to say he enjoyed tasting their sweat together. It's better this way he concluded to himself. It had to be this way for the rest of his life. He didn't want a life with out Pan Son he needed her like this every night. He couldn't allow her to keep this charade of being a Son either. She was his…her last name should be Ouji.

"Pan?" Trunks said as he positioned her to pit in his arms. He briefly noticed how perfect they fit together. She was the other piece to his life's puzzle.

"Mmm?" She replied happily with her head in his chest.

"Tell me I make you happy."

"Trunks," she started looking up at him, "you do way more than that for me. I love you baby and don't forget it."

He kissed her lips briefly and looked back at her, "I love you too."

They fell asleep that way with the stars watching over them. Before Pan fell asleep a tiny voice in the back of her head said told you, you do need him.

Trunks groggily woke up with his mouth drooling on a pillow and his arms around something soft. It wasn't soft enough to be his Pan. He shot up in bed and panicked looking around. To his relief he saw a petite figure at his computer desk wearing his sweat pants and sweatshirt.

"Pan what in the world are you doing up at this ungodly hour?" He groaned. He was more upset about her not being in his arms. Would he ever wake up to find her next to him?

She turned around and smiled apologetically towards him and said, "I'm sorry I have to write this article I've been putting off forever. I'm supposed to be back on earth tomorrow. That's the deadline and I'm not leaving here right now. I mean who would take care of you?" She chuckled at the last part.

Trunks grinned and got out of bed and pulled boxers out of his drawer. Pan blushed and turned around in her chair and typed faster on her computer to avoid the fact she just saw Trunk's…area.

Trunks smirked and held back a laugh. Pan and him may have done the deed twice by now but she never had seen his um…area. He would have to take care of that later problem later. As she typed furiously at the computer he came up behind her and looked over her shoulder.

"What is your article about," he asked out of curiosity. He had to know what took her away from him this morning.

"You actually," she said.

Trunks was interested now. It was ok and totally agreeable to have her leave him in the morning to type an article about him. She wasn't thinking of anything else that way.

"What about me?"

"The deal you made with Tiken was very popular with my magazine," Pan replied.

Trunks scanned his eyes over the document and raised an eye brow. It needs some spicing up, he thought.

He grabbed her hips and she squealed while he set her on his lap. He placed his arms on either side of her and started to type.

"How about this…after the peace ball with Tiken Trunks Briefs and I reunited by making hot sweaty love…"

"NO TRUNKS!"

"…On a concrete balcony and may I say I'm excellent doing …."

"TRUNKS CUT IT OUT!" Pan squealed and blushed at the same time.

"…but enough about me I do have to say that Trunks has a very big…"

"Okay now you're just getting arrogant…" she said glancing at him.

"Well how would you know? You haven't seen it that much now have you?" He said raising an eyebrow at her.

"Well I …" She nervously started but he cut her off.

"But I have seen plenty of you when I…"

"Okay! So maybe I haven't," She admitted.

"Well we're going to correct that right now..." He got up and dragged her to the bathroom and turned the shower on.

"No wait just let me finish my article really quick! I wont be that long I promise!" She pouted towards him.

"You have sixty- seconds that started five seconds ago. Go now!" He rushed her.

Pan ran out the room and rushed her typing. She was almost done anyways and she had an idea that would shock her readers and at the same time official resign her from her job. She was half way through her last paragraph when she heard…

"Pan! Your sixty seconds is up! Get in here now this shower seems a little vacant," Trunks said impatiently.

"Almost done I swear!" she called back to him.

She finally typed the last part of her sentence and sent it to her boss. They were going to press tomorrow and the whole world would know about her and Trunks and what she was asking of him…

(A few days later…)

"Pan please…"

"No."

"You're breaking my heart…"

"Shut up and go."

Trunks groaned and shook his head. He didn't want to go to work today but Pan was forcing him.

"Trunks I've been lenient for the past few days and I'm not saying that I didn't get anything out of it but you have to go. I have work to do with my ceramics and you have paperwork. So shoo!" She pushed him out the door without a goodbye kiss. Bulma was going to show him something that would set their futures straight…finally.

Trunks groaned as he practically had to drag himself to his office. Pan wouldn't even let him have his coffee this morning. She said it was another excuse to stay in their room longer. Needless to say he wasn't in a fantastic mood right now.

"Good morning Trunks."

He grumbled in reply to his mother.

When he got to his desk he noticed there was nothing on it, not even his computer. There was one thing though, a magazine. It was Pan's magazine, the magazine she worked for and it was a new issue of it.

"Mother why is this on my desk?"

"There's something in there you have to read," she replied ecstatically. She was practically jumping in her seat for him to read it.

"Mom I already know that Bra quit her job to be with Goten and they're engaged. They called us yesterday and told us." Lucky Bastard, Trunks thought.

"No not that silly! Look at Pan's article!"

"But I've already read it!" Trunks argued back. He wasn't having a good day and she was making it worse.

"Dammit Trunks stop being such a wise ass and read the article!" Trunks could tell that Bulma was getting pissed and impatient.

"Okay, okay I'll read it! Jeez mom!"

Trunks Ouji Discovered:

By: Pan Son

(He skips through the business part)

Trunks Briefs also has another side to him and it's his caring loving side.

If you talk to him you'll find that he's a joker and has this uncontrollable habit of shaking his foot when he's nervous or angry about something that he's trying to ignore.

For all you ladies out there who would love to get your hands on this eligible bachelor I am not sorry to say that he is now taken and very happy with his choice. Furthermore I would like to take this moment to tell I'll my faithful readers and fans that I am resigning from this great magazine to get married and pursue my original plans before I received this job. My first act after resigning is planning my wedding to Mr. Trunks Vegeta Ouji himself. I would like to thank everyone who has helped make me a success over the years I will miss this job and the great responses from my readers. Thank you again.

Trunks dropped the magazine in shock and looked up to see Pan Son herself smirking and looking over at him from his office door.

"I was thinking of a June wedding. If we do July it will get too hot for me to be in my wedding dress." Pan smiled at him.

Trunks ran over at her and swung her in his arms like he was a little kid who just won something at a carnival. Pan laughed and captured his lips and the taste of her lips made him want more. He was about to go farther with her when he heard his mother say, "Ahem."

Trunks stopped kissing Pan but he didn't take his eyes off her. He had to know, "Why did you not say yes to me in the first place?"

"Every moment of being with you and everything we have done together I tried to forget over all this time. I needed to announce everything to the public first because I thought it would make up for all this forgetting that I've been trying to do. I can't put what we did all those years ago into that category anymore."

"What category?"

"The category of Forgotten Pleasures."

Trunks didn't say anything he just kissed her on the lips again. He forgot that his mother was still in the room but he would never forget this: this moment, this feeling, this love, and this destiny. This kiss sealed the deal but it was never the last and it never will be.

Pan and Trunks wish you all a happy life.
