Gravity, a dragon ball z fanfic

Gravity

Summary: Just a one shot songfic about Goten and Marron. (They're so cute : Squeal : EEEE!)

Disclaimer: I do not -- I repeat -- I do NOT own Dragon Ball Z.

You're unavoidable
Simply irresistible
And certainly you're kissable
But next to you I'm way too shy
I lose my backbone
Leave my feelings unknown
Play should've could've on my own
Then I'm left to wonder why...

"Ooh Marron, stop drooling!" giggled seventeen-year-old Bra as she nudged her friend Marron on the side.

The twenty-one-year old had been harboring feelings for the young saiyan ever since the tender age of fourteen but like everyone who had crushes, was just too afraid to ever say anything. She tried to subtly hint at it for a whole year but he just never really caught on. Maybe they were just destined to be friends after all.

"And end up looking like a complete idiot? No thanks," Marron replied sadly. She really did want to tell him but now, it seemed, that her condition had gotten worse. Every time he came near or spoke to her, her whole body just froze up and she just couldn't say a thing no matter how hard she tried.

This is all so hard
Letting down my guard
It's all the same
It's you I blame
Maybe that's not right

"I'm sure my Uncle Goten likes you too," thirteen-year-old Pan told the young woman. "Daddy says he talks about you all the time and Mommy says that every time someone talks about someone all the time, it means they like them."

Marron looked at her, feeling a little better. Still, it didn't mean he felt the same way. He probably just talked about her because she was such a great friend to him. Yes... A great friend.

She blushed as she realized that Goten had caught her eye. They were all at Capsule Corp for one of Bulma's get together dinner parties. All the adults were talking to each other and the young men and women were doing their own thing. Like always, Goten was talking to Trunks while the girls sat by the stairs just looking at the scene before them.

So I'll blame gravity

Marron had zoned out, not noticing that Goten was making his way to her. He felt nervous, but tried not to show it. Since he was a fighter and had practiced hiding how he felt, he managed to succeed. Lucky for him, Marron didn't see that he'd tripped on his own feet. He got up quickly regaining his composure. He smiled at Bra and Pan before clearing his throat to let Marron know of his presence. She looked up almost immediately before looking back down again.

For always holding out on me
When I just want to run away
It trips me and I fall for you
Makes perfect sense to me
I lose responsibility
Then every time I fail to see
How easy this could be
I can put the blame on gravity

"Marron," his soft voice caused the hairs on the back of her neck to stand on end. He was the only one who could make react that way. She reddened even more. It felt like music to her ears hearing him say her name...

Bra nudged her. She cleared her throat and forced herself to look up into his dark eyes. They were so deep... Another nudge from the girl beside her. "Um, yes?" she managed to say.

"May I have the opportunity to have a dance with you?" he asked ever so politely, which got sniggers and giggles from the two girls sitting near her.

Marron bit her lip. Could she risk dancing with him? Well, dancing wasn't that big of a deal but she was worried she might end up saying something really stupid and make him think she was some sort of nut job or something. She really didn't want him to think of her as a weirdo or anything bad like that. Besides, she was having such a hard time breathing right now. If she were to dance if him, she'd probably faint.

"Please," he asked pleadingly.

How could she say no?

You're undeniable
Truly unbelievable
And certainly achievable
If only I could speak my mind
But I deliberate
Simple things I complicate
Then I think it best to wait
It happens to me all the time

She nodded in reply since her throat had dried up suddenly. With a cold, clammy trembling hand, she took his and stood only to lose her footing and fall forward but he'd caught her. She gave herself a mental slap.

This is all so hard
Letting down my guard
It's all the same
It's you I blame
But maybe that's not right
So I'll blame gravity

"Marron, are you okay," Goten asked worriedly as he helped straighten her up.

She nodded meekly. Looking like a fool had already started. She couldn't refuse a dance with him now. She'd already said yes. Without saying another word, Goten led her to the dance floor and put one hand on her waist while he took her other hand with his. She looked down at her shoes; she couldn't look in him the eye. She was afraid that if she did, he'd know everything.

"Hey, why do you seem so sad? Did I say something?" he asked concernedly. Great, now she was making him worry.

Plastering a fake smile on her face, she looked up at him and shook her head. She demanded herself to say something but nothing would come out. Disappointed she hung her head again. She couldn't take it. She couldn't be this close to him without going crazy. If she stayed she would surely tell him everything... Well that is if she ever could muster enough courage. Thinking quickly, she pushed away from him and tried to run away but she didn't get far.

She'd tripped on her own two feet. Her mind was racing as she tried to run, thus causing her to lose her balance. She fell to her knees. She clutched at the hem of her shirt. Why oh why did she have to go and humiliate herself? She was afraid to look around her for fear that everyone might be looking at her.

Why did she have to like him anyway? Why couldn't she like someone she didn't hang out with and whose family wasn't friends with hers. Why couldn't she just have ignored his wonderful personality? If only it wasn't Goten... If it wasn't Goten she wouldn't have to worry about making a fool of herself in front of him... But if it wasn't Goten... There was no one else...

There is something I must confess
I was happy with loneliness oh yeah
Weightlessness is so easy to be
Now I'm up in a different spin
Out of control and completely into you
So why put the blame on me
When I can put the blame on gravity

Tears began to form in her eyes. Why couldn't she just say it? It seemed so easy when she thought about it so why was it so hard? It shouldn't have been. She began to cry right then and there. It didn't matter anymore who was there and who was watching. She couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

For always holding out on me
When I just want to run away
It trips me and I fall for you
Makes perfect sense to me
I lose responsibility
And every time I fail to see
How easy this could be
I can put the blame on gravity

"Marron? Marron are you okay? Are you hurt," he knelt down in front of her, his face masked with worry. "Did you hurt your foot? Marron, what's the matter?"

She continued to cry, refusing to answer him. She couldn't answer him. She'd been willing herself to, commanding herself, but she just couldn't do it. She was getting more and more frustrated. Not thinking clearly, and frustrated with herself, she began to hit him with her fists, banging them on his hard chest.

He gently took hold of her hands and pulled her closer to him. He held her in his arms as she continued to weep. She felt so light... So weak... So fragile...

"Marron..." he whispered.

Say something. Say something damn it! Talk to him! Tell him! Tell him! She told herself. Tell him how much you love him damn it! TELL HIM.

"I LOVE YOU!" she finally spat out before burying her face in his chest. "I love you..."

"I've always loved you," she held him tightly as if afraid that if she let go, he'd walk away from her forever.

Her heart fell to the floor as he put space between them. Did this mean he didn't feel the same? He let go of her hand, reaching out, tucking a stray strand of her golden hair behind her ear. He smiled.

"I love you too Marron," he whispered. He wiped her tears away. "All this time, I've done nothing but love you. I just... Well you know, I was just always afraid of letting you know and I regret not telling you sooner because we wasted all that time, but now, our time won't have to be wasted."

Her crying turned to laughing. She looked up at him, a grin on her face. "Really? You mean that?"

As if to prove that he was being true, he cupped her chin with his hand and gave her a warm gentle kiss.

"Yes."
