Don't yell at me! I've been really unmotivated lately, and overall pretty busy as far as school and home-life goes. To be honest, I don't have a clue where I'm going with this. I'm getting a few ideas writing this AN now, so I guess Imma go with it.

P.S. I'm thinking about doing a heartbreak story b/c I'm better at writing sad shit than cute/fluffy shit. Thoughts?

With wide eyes I look around the room and find Kirei laying next to me, still sleeping. The slow light of dusk creeps through the window and across my vision, little dust particles visible in the air. I sigh and look back to her, watching the slight of her cheeks puff out with breath. Smiling, I brush stray hairs from her forehead, and she opens her eyes slowly, glancing at me and turning to face me.

"Morning," She says, rubbing her eye and stretching.

"More like nine at night," I mention, running my thumb over her head gently.

"Wow," She sat up, rubbing the place where my finger was. "Wanna go out?"

I cock my eyebrow at her, confused. "Out?"

"Like outside, to see the stars."

I smile and nod, sitting up next to her and pushing her hair back.

"Sure. I'll get you a coat."

I stand and go to my pile of clothes, pulling two hoodies out and tossing one to her. She snatches it out of the air and slips it over her head, trowing the overly large hood around her face, pulling her braid through the opening and having it trail in front of her. I smile and shake my head, walking over to her and grabbing her tiny hand and pulling her into my chest.

"I love you," I say, wrapping my arms tight around her and rubbing my face into the side of her clothed head.

I feel her arms wrap around to my back, gripping the fabric of my own hoodie in her little fingers.

"I love you too."

With that I let her go and led her to the door.

"Are you going to let me take you places now, or are you going to make me throw you over my shoulder and bring you inside again?" I pause at the front door.

"No, no. We can leave this time, I promise." She ushers me out the door with the palm of her other hand while giggling.

Realizing another part of my power has been hidden, I smile and turn to face her.

"Wanna see something less scary than before?"

Suddenly wary, she retracts her hand and gives me a suspicious look.

"How much less?"

"Well that depends, are you scared of heights?"

She considers for a moment. "No, not really."

I smile, taking her hand again. "Good. Get on my back."

I hoist her over my hips and blast off into the chilly dusk air. I hear loud laughing, and I turn my head and see her eyes wide open and a huge smile on her face. I smile back at her and she hits my back excitedly.

"This is so cool!" She shouts over the howling wind.

"I know it is. I could maybe teach you if you want," I turn away again, seeking out a large gentle crested hill.

"That's so cool. This is awesome!" She's so excited. I laugh a little and shake my head, landing softly on the grass beneath us.

"How'd you do that?!"

"I learned. It's pretty simple," I ruffle her hair and plop down on the ground, laying with my hands behind my head. She lowers down with me.

"You'll really teach me?"

"If you want me to." Our short flight had brought us a little closer to nightfall, the sun receding back under the line of mountains in the distance. Small wisps of cloud were strewn across the pink sky, dusklight reflecting on them, making shadows.

I speak again, "It's my favorite time of day." With no context.

"Sunset?" She scooches closer to me and I throw my arm under her head before it hits the ground.

"Yeah. It's really peaceful. Sunrise is all busy and loud, but when the day ends is all quiet and tired, so calm. It's just really relaxing."

Kirei turns her head and gives me a strange look. "Do you need to relax, usually?"

That catches me off guard. "I'm not really sure, actually. I'm usually a pretty relaxed person, but calm, now that you mention it, is something I feel not so often. It's strange. I'm happy, but I'm not calm by any means. I train my ass off to get stronger and faster and better at everything, but I rarely ever sit down and rest," I sigh. "And Bulma is the one that keeps me on my toes, you know? She's always running around doing something. Her life is so complicated that it makes me look like a simple forest man in comparison. Not that I'm not a simple forest man, but still. I'm not some exotic complicated mind that won't explain my thoughts to people. I pride myself on being open and honest with everyone. You can ask Bulma, next we go see her," I stroke her shoulder with my thumb. "If we go see her. I'm perfectly content staying here with you all the time."

She nods, considering my words. The sun is but a sliver of light over the horizon now, he sky turning a deep purple toward the east.

"So, when you come out here at night, you feel calmer?"

I kiss her forehead and smile into it. "I guess you could say that."

She reaches the hand up and strokes my hairless face. "It's the nature, isn't it? You like nature, I knew that when I found you sleeping outside. It's like you belong out here."

"I do. Remember, I'm not human," I slightly push my cheek into her hand, enjoying the feeling of being petted.

"Yeah..."

The sun disappears, leaving only light pinks and purples in its wake. Small shadows fall on the arcs of Kireis cheekbones and in the hallows of her eyes. I smile wide and plant a kiss on her cheek, then settling in the crook of her shoulder.

"You are so beautiful," I mention quietly, placing my hand over her smaller one on my jaw.

"Am I? Even after all this time on my own? I don't even know what I look like."

I realize I don't have a mirror in the bathroom. I frown. One more trip into the city before the weeks end shouldn't be a problem.

"That's okay. You'll find out tomorrow. And you won't be disappointed, I hope."

The darkening sky gives a chill to the air, and Kirei shivers. My alien body heat is higher than a humans, so I unzip my hoodie and toss it to the side for a moment.

"Come here." I grip her shoulder and reach over to her hip on the other side and flip her on top of me, trowing the hoodie over her. "Stop being cold."

"No, no, Goku. I'm fine. I'm used to the night time coldness now."

"Nonsense. Snuggle with me."

Kirei sighs and lays her head on my chest, rubbing her hand on my neck.

Soon enough I fall asleep to the sound of her snoring and the nightlight of stars.

Ugh! Sorry! I've been busyish and a little sad so I haven't been in the mood to write really. Hope the chapter makes up for it!
