This story's just rollin' isn't it? None of my favorited stories have been updated in like four days so I'm using my free time to write more. Hope everyone's enjoying this one!
With her skin under my hand, I gently move her off of me and onto the bed. I crawl next to her, moving my hand down to her stomach. I continue my circling motions there, thinking about how much I'm doing this. I sigh and wrap my legs around one of hers, and my arms around her entire torso. Though she's so much smaller than me, I have no problem being the little spoon.
Her tiny hand goes up to my head and plays with my permanently spiked hair, running delicate fingers through the stiff peaks.
"Do you still love me?" I ask her, craning to look at her face. She had a small frown and a slightly furrowed brow. I chuckle and reach my finger up to smooth out the skin between her eyebrows. She sighs deeply, putting her other hand on mine.
"Yes. Yeah, I do... It's just a lot to take in. One day I'm running around the woods and fishing, doing whatever I want when I want, and the next I'm living with you and you're my boyfriend. And then it turns out you're a super-strong alien and you killed your brother. It's just.. a little overwhelming." She puts my hand back down on her stomach.
"I understand. Hey, how about I go make you some soup? It'll be nice and warm and you can nap if you want while I do some chores."
"Okay."
I lift myself from laying down and go to the kitchen, throwing some canned soup on the stove to heat. Stirring, I see Kirei emerge from the bedroom, walking toward me. I hold out one arm and she tucks herself under it, resting her head on my chest.
"I'm sorry." She says, staring at the whirlpool of soup.
"For what?"
"I shouldn't be upset. It's not like you lied to me."
I kissed her hair and smiled. "I would never."
She pushes her head into my shoulder, continuing her statement. "And I know you wouldn't hurt me. You would've already if you wanted to. You make me feel pretty."
"Because you are. You're beautiful, and I love you."
"Is that the only reason you love me?"
I stop stirring the soup and grasp her shoulders gently forcing her to look at me.
"Of course not. Aside from how beautiful you are, you're really nice and funny. You make me smile and somehow you make my heart pound. Do not ever doubt that I love you."
Kirei smiles big and puts her head back on my chest, wrapping her tiny arms around my waist and squeezing me tight.
"I won't, Goku. I promise."
I kiss the top of her head again.
"Good girl. Hungry?"
She jumps off of me and bounces in place, waiting for her soup.
"Yeah I am!"
I pour the soup into a bowl and hand it to her along with a spoon. I motion her toward the table.
"Once your finished with that put your bowl in the sink and go take a nap. I'll come join you when I'm done with cleaning."
Already with soup in her mouth, Kirei nods and hops off to the table. She sits and happily kicks her legs; I rub the back of my neck and laugh quietly.
She's more bipolar than Bulma.
I back away and head to the bathroom. Opening the door I look around, assessing the room. It was mostly clean except for the hand towel on the sink and the shower curtain slightly open. I straighten those things out and throw the washed clothes in the dryer. I sigh and put my hands on my hips, looking around.
Bathrooms clean. I leave there and straighten the shoes by the door, then I go to the kitchen to see Kireis soup bowl already in the sink. I half smile and start to fill the sink with hot water.
I clean the small amount of dishes there and drain the sink. Drying my hands, I look over to the bed to see a lump of blankets, moving up and down only slightly. I chuckle.
I slowly walk over to her and tug a bit of blanket form under her, snugging deep into her neck. She sighs and throws her arm over my neck, snuggling me closer. My face heats up more and I can almost feel my heart explode from cuteness. I kiss her neck and wrap my arms around her, pulling her close to me. I fall into a deep sleep.
All of my surroundings are black. I look down, and I can't find my body, like I'm just a set of floating eyes.
"Goku? Goku, is that you?"
My mouth finds itself and I speak out.
"Kirei?"
"Goku, is that you? Hold on, Honey, where are you?"
I find my hands and feel around me, touching something that felt like wood.
A bright light shines suddenly in my eyes and they squint, trying to accommodate for it.
"Goku! Why are you in the pantry? Silly man. Were you playing hide and seek with Kurai? I haven't seen her here in a while."
My legs seem to appear out of no where and walk forward, coming into a more colorful and less blinding area.
"Who?" I ask, still squinting.
"Don't tell me you forgot who your daughter is. Have you seen her?"
My eyes open. I bring my hand to my forehead, wiping away sweat.
OOOOOOH! Cliff hanger! Sorry. I just didn't feel like it was fair to not post a chapter today. I hope you liked it!
