Chapter 65: Falling
My baby is teaching a girl how to fly, so sweet of him. She was very rude when she came unannounced. She has to learn better manners. But, if I knew better, never judge a book by it's cover. I must admit, it was silly of me to argue with her. I must have looked like a child in front of my boys. As I watched them leave, I couldn't help giggle. That girl is a fighter, and if I'm not mistaken, Gohan was stuttering and smiling at her. Now that I think about it, Gohan did say he was helping a girl fight crime. Could this be her?
Oh, if Goku was here, he would be so happy. Our little Gohan got a girlfriend. Or at least a little crush. Maybe I should try getting them more together. I can't wait to tell Goku about this. Oh my, that's right! My Goku is coming back for a day. I should do everything to not stress myself out. Gotta look as pretty as possible, and maybe I should go all out. Then again, maybe not. Goku always like it when I went natural. He says I'm at my prettiest when I'm myself. Just remembering those words, has me feeling a whole new level of happy. Let me finish up lunch, and we should eat outside. Natural sunlight is good for the skin. And I want my skin to glow. I been inside for way too long. I'm going to take it easy for now.
Wow! She has people cooking for her, and she sounds rich. She also has good manners, that I knew she would have. "And you plan to marry this girl?" Seeing Gohan spit his rice was hilarious, and Goten asking if that means she's going to be in big sister now. Gohan looks so embarrassed and wishing I would stop. I couldn't help tease him. My little Gohan is becoming a man. Goku would be so proud; I know I am.
…
So, this is the girl that got my big brother acting weird. She made mom act funny, too. She seems nice, and she seems strong, too. I take another look at her, and then I came up with a great idea. I gave one more look at Gohan, before I ran up ahead. Once they passed me, I saw how they were standing next to each other. Perfect! Now to just get behind her, and trip her. Then big brother would catch her, and he'll act all weird. "I don't know, but if he tries anything funny, it's not my fault if something goes missing." Jerk. Don't push it squirt. Oh my, he sounded angry.
It's hard to make big brother angry. Mad, super easy, but angry, now that's tricky. Whatever this girl did to my brother, must be something to make him get that type of angry. Whoever you are girly, you better be nice to my big brother. My big brother doesn't need any more trouble, so I hope you're good to him.
"Does that mean Videl is my big sister?" Seeing Gohan react that way is so funny. I think mom can also tell Videl makes Gohan act funny. Mom seems to be having fun. And seeing Gohan look like that is super funny.
Gohan seems to be zone out, and Videl tried calling his attention. He fell into the creek, and was all wet. Videl seemed to get angry at him, and when she turned around, he was smiling. I definitely can't wait to tell Trunks this. He's going to have a field day with this. Heck, I'm having a field day with this. While he continues teaching her about ki, I got to play. Well, so they thought. I was watching them the whole time, and nothing interesting happen. They just stare at each other. Boring. That's it! I'm going look for bugs; at least that's exciting.
…
I can't believe this. We spent the rest of the afternoon on focusing on her ki. I didn't get that much training in, but somehow, I don't mind as much. As she's about to leave, I just had to make a comment about her hair. "So, you like girls with short hair, Gohan?" No. I tried to explain how it could get in the way of fighting. And she flips out on me, and tells me to leave her hair out of it. What the hell just happened? I'm just speechless, and so is Goten.
The next day she has her hair cut. What gives with this girl? She's so damn confusing. But I have to admit she does look cuter with shorter hair. CRAP! As I explain to them to put the ki under them, and then left, I notice that Videl is having trouble. I try to remind her to relax. Before long Goten is kind of getting the hang of it, and then he falls. Soon I hear Videl calling for my attention. When I reach her, I just had to open my mouth and say this was easy. Great, just great. Not only does she look mad, but also is about to cry.
She finally got the hang of ki control, and she said she'll be back tomorrow. Somehow the way she said it made me forget to breathe. They way that sounded made me wonder if she's really coming back for lessons, or something else. A small part of me hoped it was for another reason. When she came back, she made a lot of progress. Heck, she even floated a few yards. Goten on the other hand, was acting like a jet. And Videl didn't want stop lessons till she could fly like that. Great, I'm between wanting to actually train, and wanting to spend more time with Videl. Maybe after the tournament I could try to ask her to hang more. Oh man, that sounds stupid. She'll just say no. She's only here for the lessons, nothing else. I actually felt disappointed with that thought.
After lunch, Goten stood with mom, and me and Videl 'flew' to the field. She wanted to get as much practice in, as possible. When we landed, I was feeling a little awkward. This would be the first time I'll be alone with Videl, and I just feel weird. She then asked me to spar with her. As we spar, she asked about my dad, and stuff. And if it was possible that I was the delivery boy, during the cell games. I lowered my stance, as I told her yes. She looked so excited; not what I expected. We ended up sitting down, and talking about our upbringing. We accidently touched hands, and I could have sworn her face was red. I knew my face was on fire.
…
Videl looks so cute with her hair cut. I wonder why she cut it. During dinner I noticed how distracted Gohan looked. Aw, my big boy has a crash. Either that, or he's actually falling in love. My little Gohan is falling for someone. Oh my, I don't think I'm ready for grandbabies yet. "Gohan, I hope after this little tournament you'll be back at your studies." He gave me an automatic yes mom, and continued eating. This girl really got a hold of my baby. I'm so happy.
As I watched Gohan go to his room, I can't help but wonder what those two did when they were alone. That's when it hit me. I never gave Gohan the talk. Well, he's old enough now, so why not. After I sent Goten to bed, and went and check on my eldest. Thankfully he was still up. For what felt like hours, I gave him the talk. He looked so uncomfortable, and embarrassed, but it had to be done. As much as I would love the idea of grandbabies, I want my Gohan to get through school first. And give me grandbabies the proper way.
…
Oh GOD! Why did mom have to tell me that? Now all those weird looks dad gave mom. All those times they smelled funny. All the adult talks. And the noise! DAMN IT! I wish I could scrub my brain of this new knowledge. I want to scrub it clean. I won't be able to look at mom the same way for a long time, and dad. OH GOD! The moment dad comes home for dinner, and dinner is finished, I'm taking Goten and flying far away. And not come back for like, two whole days. Maybe that'll give mom enough time to destroy the evidence. So damn disgusting. And while I was wide awake, too! DAMN IT! Either dad had no control, or it was mom. Either way, I want to forget this new piece of information. I wish I was a completely unaware child again. Then again… EWW!
The moment Videl landed in our yard, I grabbed her by the wrist, and told her we had to leave, "NOW!" She was confused, but listened. The moment we were in the field, I finally realized I was still holding her wrist. I let it go so fast, and jumped away. After what mom told me, there were things I wish I could unsee. And things I actually wanted to see. I slapped myself, and looked away from her. CRAP! Why did mom do that? It felt forever for me to calm down. And Videl touching my shoulder did not help.
"What is wrong with you today?!" Great she's mad at me. And the worst part, I liked it. DAMN IT! I wanted to be able to die like a human, and be able to shot myself. I'm freaking out and I don't know what to do. She then slapped me. "Get a grip!" I don't know why, but my first reaction was that I licked my lips, and smiled at her. She then stepped back, and gave me a concerned look. That's when I really snapped out of it.
I turned around. "Maybe it would be best if we didn't have flying lessons today." She turned me around and asked why. I just blurt it out and hoped for the best. "Mom gave me the talk and I can't unsee certain things. I just want to scrub my brain clean of that image." Her face turned all red, and she turned around. I was at the point of running and hiding.
She turned around, and had the most serious face I have ever seen. "So, let just try to focus on the lessons, ok? Maybe that'll take your mind off certain things." I just nodded, and we began with lessons for the day. Seeing her like this was nice. Once she got the hang of flying, she was almost as fast as Goten. I was so proud of her. Sadly, now I won't be seeing her till the tournament. Thankfully that's only two more weeks away.
…
After Gohan blurt out what made him act all weird, I felt my whole body burn from being completely mortified. I can't believe this. I just turned around and struggled with the idea of just leaving. But then what if I leave, and tomorrow he's the same way. From what I already know of Gohan, it takes him almost forever to get over things. Well, unless you help him out. Plus, the way I been feeling lately makes me not want to leave him like this.
Daddy said I couldn't have a boyfriend, especially if they're weaker than him. But the other day I found out that Gohan was the delivery boy. So, that gotta mean he's stronger than daddy. So, that would mean I can allow myself these feelings. Besides, the way he's been looking at me lately is kind of nice. And that smile, after I slapped him, just wow. Ok, so, I'll stay and help him out. I turned around and told him lets just focus on the lessons.
Truth be told, even though he was right that I could practice on my own, it was just an excuse to see him. Daddy doesn't know about any of this, and I want to keep that my little secret. Like how I touched a boy's hand, and not because I was beating him up. And the way Gohan looked at me, when I showed up with my hair cut. So, maybe the feelings aren't as one sided as I thought. It's possible he likes me, too. that thought alone made me giddy. But he doesn't have to know how I feel about him. Not now, at least. After the tournament I'll ask him to be my official boyfriend. Wait! Wouldn't that be weird?
…
Only three more day, and I'll see everyone again. Oh man, I'm so nervous. I did all the training I could, so, for the rest of the time I'm going to mediate. I need to calm my body and mind. Soon I get to lay eyes on the most beautiful creature I know. Soon I get to see my little… big boy Gohan. Soon I get to meet the little one. Plus, see all my friends. I'm just so excited. I can't wait. Maybe now I should change my training gi. That why I could cover it with their scent, and mine won't over power it.
Just thinking about them is making me so nervous. I'm not expecting much. I shouldn't expect much. It has been 7 years. I'll be lucky to just hug them for a very long time, and hear their voices. Even get a kiss from Chichi. Small things is all I want. I want to leave a good memory with them. Even though I know I won't have a lot of time, I do wish I could shower everyone with affection, especially Chichi. Man, if I could I don't think I'll be able to pull away from showering her with affection. It probably won't be considered affection after a certain point. Mm. I bet my little wife still taste as good.
Oh crap! And here comes what I was afraid of. Thoughts of all the things I wish I could do with Chichi, before I leave again. Things I know I won't have time for. It would be a damn shame to rush it too. Damn it! Just thinking about her in that way is getting me worked up. All her lovely curves. The beautiful eyes, that takes my breath away. That intoxicating scent, that drives me mad. The taste of her warm mouth, that makes it hard to pull away. And don't get me started on how much her body is just perfect. CRAP! Need to focus on mediating. Need to calm down. I don't want the first thing I do is attack my wife. Especially not in a public place. But that going to be hard, considering 7 years away from that goddess. Mm. Now here I thought I finally got used to not seeing her when I wake up. But with the knowledge I'm seeing her soon, is not helping the fact I'm being reminded, how deeply I miss her.
The day is here! And Baba has brought me to the look out, before going to the tournament. It feels great to sense the earth all around me. Now for the scary part. I brace myself as Baba takes me to the tournament grounds. As we got closer, I was searching for my family's ki. I spot Gohan's first, then Chichi's, and the felt one that was close to her. That one I could just guess is my other child. I did feel another unknown ki, but the one by Chichi was similar to the one I felt growing in her. The other one was just completely new, and felt like Krillin's. I can't wait hear the story on that one.
