Neon Genesis Z

Genesis 22

I love you

Later that afternoon Shinji and Trunks returned to the apartment. They spoke all afternoon about different things. Love, fighting, and peace. Shinji thought it was a conversation worth having. Trunks thought it was good to talk to someone about things that were on his mind. When they walked into the apartment Misato was on the couch reading a book. She looked up.

"Welcome home." Misato said.

"Thanks." Both boys said in unison.

Misato smiled.

"Trunks Asuka is in her room changing for your evening together. You might want to freshen up too." Misato said smiling.

Trunks laughed.

"Give me a few minutes I will shower and change." Trunks said.

Trunks went into the bathroom after he got a change of clothes. After he was in the shower, Misato looked at Shinji.

"Have a good walk?" Misato asked.

"Yes. We had a good conversation." Shinji said.

"Did you discuss with him what his dream was about?" Misato asked.

Shinji nodded.

"Yes, though to tell you the truth Misato it didn't seem he was afraid of death. I find it odd that he didn't fear death." Shinji said.

"Yea we got the same notion when me and Asuka talked. I think he saw so much death and has been fighting powerful foes it might seem that he no fear of it. I'm sure he doesn't want to die but its something he has accepted." Misato said.

"Misato, I don't want him to die. What do we do for him?" Shinji asked.

"I'm not sure, this might be out of our hands for now I think we should enjoy our time with Trunks and not think about it much. So tell me how your date was last night." Misato said.

Shinji nodded and smiled. He told Misato what happened on the date.

In Asuka's room.

Asuka was standing in front of her mirror staring at herself. She thought she picked out a nice outfit to wear on there date. She was dressed in a pair of tight black hip hugger jeans and red tummy t-shirt. Misato let her use some of her perfume that smelled really nice. Tonight she wanted to tell Trunks that she loves him. She really did love him, she could not believe it herself. She spent all her life hiding from people, but with Trunks she was her true self. She wanted him to be her first and last man in her life.

"Hopefully he feels the same." Asuka said to herself.

In the shower.

Trunks thought about what him and Shinji discussed. They discussed many things but one thing they talked awhile about was love. Shinji was telling him that he loved Rei, well thought he did but wasn't sure. Then Shinji asked if Trunks was in love with Asuka. Trunks told Shinji he did. She was everything he wanted in a girl. Shinji was happy hear that.

"Hopefully she feels the same." Trunks said to himself.

20 Minutes later.

Trunks walked out of the bathroom. In the living room Asuka was waiting for him.

"Hey Asuka, where did Shinji and Misato go?" Trunks asked.

"They went to get some dinner themselves." Asuka said smiling.

Trunks nodded.

"Are you ready to go?" Trunks said.

Asuka laughed.

"I am I was starting to wonder if I should call the police to search for you in the shower." Asuka said.

Trunks laughed.

"Sorry about that." Trunks said.

Asuka smiled. They both left the apartment and headed to the restaurant they agreed on the other day. It was a Chinese Restaurant that opened up. It took them 10 minutes to walk there. They were hand in hand walking. Both were so happy to be with one another. When they got to the restaurant it wasn't busy. It was a small place that many people didn't know about unless you lived in the neighborhood. There was another couple in there eating already. Trunks and Asuka were seated right away.

"Thank you." Trunks said as he was given a menu.

The waitress smiled and walked away while the couple decided on dinner. A waiter came a placed two glasses of water and a pot of green tea down for them to drink. Trunks poured the tea.

"I like this place its quiet." Asuka said.

"Yes, its really quiet, but quiet is good." Trunks said.

The waitress came back to get there orders.

"Have you folks decided on what you like to eat?" The waitress said.

Both of them shook there head no.

"Can you give us a few minutes please." Asuka said with a smile.

The waitress nodded and went off to her other table.

A moment later Asuka noticed Hikari walk in the door with Touji. She was shock to see them here. She knew that Touji and her were a couple after the test of Eva-03. Didn't know they were on a date this evening. Touji and Hikari noticed Trunks and Asuka right away. Hikari waved and walked over to them.

"Fancy meeting you here." Hikari said.

"Yea fancy that." Asuka said smiling.

"What are you doing here guys?" Touji asked.

"Having dinner of course. We are on a date." Trunks said laughing.

Touji smiled.

"Hey you guys want to join us?" Asuka asked.

Hikari blushed.

"We don't want to imposed its bad enough we picked the same restaurant." Hikari said.

"Non-sense Hikari have a seat with us we can all eat together we didn't order yet." Asuka said.

Trunks nodded in agreement.

"It will be great to have you too here, Asuka come sit next to me." Trunks said.

Asuka smiled. She sat on the other side with Trunks. Hikari and Touji sat together on the other side of the table.

"Thanks man, you sure its cool?" Touji asked

"Of course man, having dinner with friends makes a evening that much better." Trunks said.

The staff brought out more tea and water for the other couple.

"This is a nice place Touji recommended it." Hikari said.

"Yea I notice one time walking from your apartment, figure it look like a good place to eat." Touji said.

Trunks nodded.

"Yea it is quiet here, not very many people come here to eat a lot of there service is take out." Trunks said.

"Asuka you look good. Is that a new outfit?" Hikari said.

"Ya I got it the one day I went to the store with Misato and Rei." Asuka said.

"Trunks don't you think she looks good?" Hikari asked.

"Of course I do, she always looks good." Trunks said.

They all laughed.

"Trunks you a sweet guy." Hikari said.

"Well I try to be." Trunks said.

"Hey Trunks what are you doing next Friday? We were thinking having a guys night out again." Touji asked.

"So far nothing." Trunks said looking at Asuka.

"It's cool we have a Sync Test at NERV friday late afternoon I'm pretty sure we will be at NERV most of the evening so if you want to go Trunks its cool." Asuka said.

Trunks smiled.

"Looks like I'm chilling with you and Kensuke." Trunks said.

"Cool." Touji said.

"Lets order some food this girl is starving." Asuka said.

They all agreed. They placed there orders and contiuned talking.

"Two orders of Lo Mein huh?" Asuka asked.

Trunks nodded.

"Sorry but a Saiyan needs to eat." Trunks said with a smile.

They all laughed.

"You guys must have to go shopping a lot for food with Trunks around." Hikari said.

"Yea we tend to stock up more, he is a hearty eater." Asuka said.

"Why do you eat so much Trunks?" Touji asked.

"I'm not really sure, I guess its genetic. As a warrior race sometimes you don't eat for awhile." Trunks said.

"What is awhile?" Touji asked.

"Couple of days a week or more. I gone out without food for a month." Trunks said.

Everyone looked at him.

"Wouldn't you die?" Hikari asked.

Trunks nodded.

"You would think that. Though it didn't happen to me, but I tell ya I ate a lot when the food came out." Trunks laughed.

Everyone laughed. Everyone was having a great time. The food came out and it smelled great. They all dug in.

"This is some of the best food I have had in a long time." Touji said.

"Yes, they do know how to cook." Trunks said.

The girls agreed.

Everyone ate there meals of course Trunks finished last because of his double order.

"That was good stuff." Trunks said.

"Are you stuffed now Trunks?" Asuka said.

"I could go for another but I will be alright with some dessert." Trunks said with a smile.

The other laughed.

"Trunks the unending stomach." Hikari said.

"Hey they called me Touji the stomach at school." Touji said.

"Well once they see Trunks eat they are going to give the title to him." Hikari said laughing.

Everyone laughed.

The waitress brought out the dessert it was a tradional Chinese fortune cookies.

"Lets open them together!" Hikari said.

The rest nodded. They all opened at the fortune cookies at the same time.

"You will have a long happy life with the one you love." Touji said.

He looked at Hikari.

"No doubt." Touji proudly said.

"All your money will grow big." Hikari said.

"Well that is a strange one." Hikari said.

Trunks opened his.

"You will blessed with friends." Trunks said.

He smiled.

"Well already blessed with friends." Trunks said.

Asuka opened hers.

"You will meet someone interesting." Asuka said.

She looked at Trunks.

"Already have." Asuka said.

Trunks smiled.

"Pretty good fortunes, well except for Hikari." Touji said.

Again they all laughed.

They all talked for a bit. Asuka and Trunks had a great time with Hikari and Touji. The other couple felt the same. They talked so long the restaurant closed. They walked outside and said there goodbyes.

"What a nice time with them." Trunks said.

"Agreed, would you like to go for a walk." Asuka asked.

She didn't want to go home just yet. She wanted to tell Trunks how she felt. Trunks didn't want to home yet because he wanted to tell Asuka how he felt.

"A walk sounds good." Trunks said.

So they both walked for awhile in silence. Both of them wanted to tell the other one what was on there mind.

"Why can't I tell her, I mean I fought some dangerous people, why can't I tell a girl I love her." Trunks said to himself.

Asuka was thinking.

"This is stupid I'm the number one pilot and I can't tell a guy I love him, this is silly."

Trunks stopped. They both stopped in the park they have gone once before, the same park they shared there first kiss.

"Asuka." Trunks said.

"Yes Trunks." Asuka said. She was worried because of his tone.

"I want to tell you something and I want you to know that I mean it." Trunks said.

Asuka looked at him. Trunks turned to her and looked in her eyes. He thought her eyes were gorgeous.

"Asuka I love you, and no matter what happens to me. I want you to know I will always love you." Trunks said.

Tears started forming in Asuka's eyes.

"Oh Trunks...you don't know how long I been wanting to tell you I love you too. I don't know what will happen to us. I just know I will love you and you always too." Asuka said.

Trunks smiled. He was so relieved to hear that. He leaned into Asuka to kiss her but stopped. He felt it wasn't passionate enough. He wrapped his arm around Asuka and then leaned into her. He kissed her passionately. Asuka returned the kiss. They were kissing for awhile and felt it was heaven. Then Asuka pulled away.

"Trunks...I .. uhh.. I love you so much. I want to show you... I want you to be my first." Asuka said blushing.

Trunks stood there for a moment. It wasn't like he didn't think about it himself, he is a guy after all and at that age. He remember something about what his mom told him that his father Vegeta told her. She told him that when Saiyan's take a mate they take a mate for life. Trunks nodded.

"Asuka I love you too, but I have to tell you something. Saiyan's have a tradition. My mother told me about it not long ago. It was something my father told her before they mated." Trunks said.

Asuka laughed at the mated part. Trunks chuckled a little too.

"I'm sorry Trunks didn't really expect the slight seriousness of this conversation." Asuka said.

Trunks smiled.

"I know. I'm the only one of my kind living on this world. It would honor my father if I took up some Saiyan traditions." Trunks said.

Asuka nodded.

"I agree with your father. I respect that." Asuka said.

"When Saiyan's mate, they are together for life. Its a sacred bond between the two. Even in death." Trunks said.

Asuka smiled.

"Trunks I want you and you only." Asuka said.

She kissed him and he returned the kiss.

"Trunks lets go home... and mate..." Asuka said seductively.

Trunks nodded and scooped her up in his arms and they flew back home.

The next morning, Asuka woke up first. She was laying on Trunks in his bed. Both teens were naked from the night before. Asuka watch Trunks sleep. She thought he was cute when he sleeps. She watched him for awhile. It was still early morning no one else was up. She blushed wondering if anyone heard Trunks and Asuka last night. Then her thoughts were on what happen last night.

The couple finished there first orgasm together. Both were breath heavy and looking each other in the eyes. Asuka smiled. Trunks return the smile. Trunks laid on his back. Asuka climbed on top of him. She thought what happened was wonderful. It kinda hurt at first but got better the longer it went. They looked at each other in silence for a minute or two. Then Trunks spoke up.

"Asuka are you ok?" Trunks asked.

Asuka nodded.

"Uh why wouldn't I be?" Asuka asked.

"Well you are not saying anything." Trunks said.

"I'm enjoying the moment." Asuka said smiling.

Trunks gave her a kiss. Asuka returned it.

"That was amazing." Trunks said.

Asuka smile grew bigger.

"Well what do you expect from someone so perfect as me." Asuka said.

Trunks laughed.

"I wouldn't expect anything less." Trunks said.

Trunks moved her hair out of her face.

"You're beautiful Asuka." Trunks said.

Asuka smiled.

"Thank you." Asuka said.

Asuka thought about Trunks's dream he had they didn't talk about it last night.

"Trunks." Asuka said.

"Hmm." Trunks said.

"We didn't talk about what happen this afternoon." Asuka said.

Trunks look up at the ceiling. He was hoping that he didn't have to talk about it.

"I know. We were having such a good time with Touji and Hikari that I didn't want to spoil the mood. Then we took a walk and well you know what happen from there." Trunks said.

Asuka grinned.

"Oh I know, but still we should talk about it. You don't seem bothered about dying." Asuka said.

Trunks sighed.

"It doesn't. I have been through a lot of things Asuka, I have always thought if it is my time its my time. Though talking with that dream version of Goku I feel has though I have friend watching me always. Even if I do die I don't think I would be alone on the other side. I guess what I'm saying is that if I do die I think I would be back. I have a feeling Goku is up to something." Trunks said.

"You mean Goku wants you to die for what?" Asuka said.

"To train me, he died during the Cell Games. I assume he knows what is going on here." Trunks said.

"Oh, I thought when you are dead your dead." Asuka said.

"No there is an afterlife. Its hard to explain one day you will understand." Trunks said.

"Ok, but I don't want you to die." Asuka said.

"Hey, I don't want to either, I don't want to leave you." Trunks said.

Asuka smiled at Trunks. Trunks smiled back.


"I would miss you too much." Trunks said quickly.

Asuka smiled and nodded. She lean in to kiss him.

"Round 2." Asuka said laughing.

Asuka smiled at what happened afterwards. Though she didn't want Trunks to die, she felt that if he was comfortable with it, she was too. The sun was rising and Trunks was starting to stir. He opened his eyes.

"Morning." Trunks said.

Asuka smiled.

"Morning to you my love." Asuka said.

"What time is it?" Trunks asked.

"7am." Asuka said after she looked at the clock.

"So early, I should go and train a bit then come back for breakfast." Trunks said.

Asuka narrowed her eyes. Trunks was starting to sit up. Asuka was quick to get on top of him. Trunks smiled.

"Oh no mister, you are training with me this morning." Asuka said.

Both of the laughed and passionately kissed each other.

"I love you Asuka." Trunks said.

"I love you Trunks." Asuka.

Both teens went back to "training."
