Harboring feelings for a man who was recently divorced was probably one of his lowest moments, and that was definitely saying something... He'd made so many mistakes in his life and this was just another one. One that he hadn't known he could make.
Now with the knowledge that Goku was single didn't help him a single bit, simply because the man was without a wife now didn't mean that anyone could try to claim his wild heart, no doubt Goku still loved Chichi and anyone attempting to catch his attentions was just a masochist.
No, he wouldn't do that. He wouldn't attempt to have that sort of connection to Goku, He would simply befriend the mortal man and that would be good enough. But, the pain that coursed through him at the mere thought of never telling Goku how much he truly cared...It was only worse when he looked to Goku, who usually was poking or prodding at something or other or beating another fighter.
"Shin, these flowers are funny." He frowned and walked towards Goku who was holding a flower, it was bright pink with purple splotches, what exactly was that? "Why are they funny?" Goku blinked and smiled sloppily; "They made an explosion!" Goku mimicked an explosion with his hands, the flower he'd been holding dropping out of his hands before more flowers did exactly what he was talking about catching both of them in a whirlwind of pollen. He coughed and couldn't breath; "Goku! Ge-get us out of here!" He didn't know how he managed to even talk but suddenly they were in the water and his ability to breath was even further cut off. He panicked this couldn't be the way he died! Strong arms wrapped around him and pulled him. He gasped air as he hit the surface. "Oh, oh gods." Goku chuckled lightly; "A god calling out for gods." That wasn't amusing when he'd almost died!
They swam to the edge of the lake, they were back on his world. Free from a danger of most sorts at this point. Goku shivered, he needed to get dry before he got sick then. Mortal bodies or at least the more mortal bodies than his own were not impervious to violent temperature drops at all. Not to say that it didn't affect him, it just took more to do so.
"I feel too hot," Goku muttered, that wasn't a good sign at all...He groaned as Goku's tongue slid between his slightly parted lips and twined with his own, never in his deepest dreams did he ever think that this was possible. How could this man want to kiss him? How could he allow this to happen even because they weren't really supposed to get attached to mortals...The heat is more than enough to give him pause, because even though his mind was telling him it was wrong to want this mortal man, everything else was on fire, burning down and begging for this to be real.
Tingling anticipation curling in the pit of his stomach as this bliss simply continued on, Goku was flushed in the face as he pulled back, "Shin...I. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..." He was pulling away. No, this couldn't be real. "Please, wait." Goku paused, his eyes a bit glassy.
Goku had kissed him, but that had only been...what had it been? god, he was burning up and his thoughts were hard to hold onto... Why would Goku have kissed him? He didn't have a terrible crush on him like he did Goku. "Shin," Goku whined like he needed something so dire and was being denied. Goku placed his hands on his hips, they felt enormous on him...but it felt good too.
"Shin please, I. I feel like I'm on fire." He did too.
