It was a deathly silence. Not the kind of silence that comes with calm, but the kind that simmers just below the surface, the kind that heralds an explosion. The two flew in the same direction, Gohan remaining very attentive to Videl, who seemed to be slowing down more and more despite herself. He stopped, waiting for her to catch up with him, then stopped again.
- What's wrong?
- You're clearly exhausted. I told you I could carry you home.
- I'm fine, Gohan...
He chose not to respond, feeling his anger rise another notch. He didn't even ask her when he lifted her up to carry her, as if there was no room for discussion between them anymore. She said nothing either, her lack of protest being yet another sign that she had no strength left, contrary to what she just claimed.
Once Gohan felt he had her securely enough to keep her safe, he sped up, heading towards her house. The journey was filled with an oppressive silence, but fortunately, it was short-lived as Gohan was fast.
He landed on the balcony of Videl's bedroom, helping her to her feet, and then the two deactivated their Great Saiyaman costumes via their watches once they were inside the room. Still silently, they naturally headed for Videl's bathroom. Gohan had lost count of the number of times this pattern had repeated itself: them fighting crime, then them going to the bathroom in Videl's bedroom to treat their injuries. Well, mainly Videl's injuries, which had been occurring a little too frequently lately for Gohan's liking.
He was annoyed, it was obvious, you could feel it, and Videl knew him well enough to realise it. She watched him hurriedly grab the first aid kit from the cupboard. It was extremely rare for her to see him act like this, perhaps even the first time, and it kinda intimidated her.
Gohan turned to her, frowning when he saw her standing at the door when it was obvious she could barely stand.
- Sit down, Videl, you can barely stand.
His voice was deeper than usual, and his face was stern. She didn't want to appear weak or anything like that, so she replied.
- Don't tell me what to do, Gohan. I'm old enough to make my own decisions.
It was her pride talking, but she sat down on the edge of the bathtub, looking away from Gohan. He flinched at her answer, visibly refraining from replying. Videl removed her damaged T-shirt, leaving her wearing her bra, once again naturally. It had happened so many times before, so yes, the first few times they were both embarrassed by this sudden exposure, but now it was almost routine. Gohan was then able to bend down and examine her body, relieved that the injuries were only superficial.
However, he was still annoyed.
Then he frowned, letting out a sigh of frustration when he noticed a deeper cut on the side of her stomach that ran down to her hip. After examining it, he saw that the wound wasn't too deep and knew that it wouldn't need stitches, so he decided to treat it first. He placed a cotton ball soaked in alcohol on it, causing her to tense up and hiss.
- Sorry.
- It's okay, don't worry.
Gohan suppressed a sarcastic remark and continued his treatment, finishing it efficiently. Videl had been watching him and felt that his movements were more abrupt. Nothing bad, but it was different.
- Gohan, you're too tense right now, what's wrong with you?
He looked up at her, a stern expression still on his face, then noticing a bruise on Videl's cheekbone, he couldn't help himself and sat up straight.
- You could have been seriously injured or worse.
- t's okay, Gohan. She replied, rolling her eyes.
- It's okay?! Videl, you're always risking your life! You rushed in headfirst without thinking, again!
Videl frowned, looking furious.
- First of all, I do think, despite what you say! Secondly, you always dramatise everything, Gohan! I've been trained my whole life, I've got this under control.
- Well, clearly not. He sneered.
- So that's it? You see me as weak, incompetent?
- That's not what I said!
- That's exactly what you said, Gohan!
She stood up too, standing up to him.
- You think I can't fight?
- Stop the nonsense.
- I've been fighting for years, long before you showed up, you can't blame me for that now!
- I'm blaming you for risking your life, not for fighting!
- It's the same thing!
- No, it's not!
His tone rose, becoming increasingly shrill. Gohan rarely raised his voice, and in fact, he had never done so to Videl before. He rubbed his face nervously, distancing himself, then after taking a breath, he looked up at her.
- That's not the problem, Videl. I know you're doing very well.
- Then what it is, Gohan?!
- You can't die, Videl! Not a second time, not ever. We've already used the Dragon Balls for that, Shenron has already brought you back to life. It's over, you can't die again. You don't realise how scared I am every time this happens!
Despite his trembling breath, his anger was still present, and Gohan was struggling to calm down. He was visibly agitated, not being used to getting angry. However, he hadn't taken his eyes off her, and when he saw her mouth opening in order to reply, he snapped. He lunged towards her, grabbed her face and crushed his lips against hers.
Brutally.
Without thinking about the consequences.
As if it were the last time he would ever see her.
But he put everything he felt into it.
Videl tensed at first, completely taken by surprise, then gave in. She clung to his shirt, holding him close to her. It was messy, desperate.
They separated, breathless, Gohan taking a few steps back.
- I...
Videl could have said the right thing.
She could also have shared the feelings she had inside her.
But the fear and frustration of their argument took hold of her and she replied curtly.
- You can kiss me as much as you want, it won't change anything.
The silence that followed seemed to slap them both in the face. Gohan's expression quickly changed from shock to total emptiness, closing in on himself.
- Okay, fine.
His voice was just a whisper as he walked decisively towards his bedroom window. That called out Videl, who rushed towards him.
- Gohan, wait! I don't…
- You know what, Videl? Leave me alone.
His ki vibrated uncontrollably in the room for a moment. And with that, he flew away powerfully, furious and hurt, leaving Videl in shock and angry at herself.
***
Videl had spent her morning glancing out her window. Her night had been restless and complicated, as she beat herself up over what she had said to Gohan. As for her morning, she had tried to distract herself in many ways, but nothing seemed to work, and as time went on, her anxiety grew.
Then deliverance came. Two knocks sounded at her window and she hurried to draw the curtains, revealing Gohan, dressed in his purple gi, on the other side. With her heart pounding in her chest, she opened the window and let him in. His gaze was dark, but he no longer seemed angry, at least not as much as yesterday, but she could easily read his pain and felt even more guilty. He looked exhausted. Not physically. Emotionally.
His shoulders were tense, his gaze avoiding hers, just enough to hurt her even more.
- Hey.
- Gohan, listen, I...
- No, wait, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything, actually. I should never have gotten so angry with you. I was scared, but that doesn't justify anything. The same goes for... You know, I shouldn't have kissed you. I...
- Gohan, stop! I should apologise too, for everything. I was too stubborn, when you got angry I took it very personally and I got carried away too. And above all, I didn't mean what I said when you kissed me...
- But you…
- No, really, I just wanted to have the last word, you threw me off balance and I panicked. Y-you drive me crazy. She said, laughing nervously.
- What did you just say?
Videl blushed and quickly turned her head to the side, wanting to escape his gaze. She didn't want him to see her and couldn't look at him after what she had just said. However, she could hear him sniggering, then footsteps coming towards her. The closer he got to her, the more she felt her heart beating, nervousness taking over her whole body.
- You're being cute.
His words, whispered as he stood in front of her, had the effect of a bomb. Her eyes widened, unable to believe that she was hearing these words from Gohan, spoken in a tone that was confident, not hesitant or shy.
- What did you just say? She asked, daring to meet his gaze.
- You heard me perfectly well. He smiled.
Videl felt her breath catch in her throat, it all seemed too intense. She felt her face burning but couldn't look away, captivated by Gohan's dark gaze.
- Can I kiss you?
Once again, he spoke without a hint of doubt, his voice slightly deeper than usual, a sign that he was serious about this situation.
And oh my God, she wanted him so badly. In fact, he was the only one she wanted, and the mere fact that he asked her to kiss her was enough to melt her heart.
Videl slowly placed a hand on his chest, still staring at him. He smiled tenderly at her before pulling her towards him, pressing her body against his. His initiative, his quick movement despite the gentleness on his face, made Videl lose her mind. She naturally closed her eyes, preparing for his touch.
However, nothing happened, and she reopened her eyes, frowning.
- I asked you a question, you didn't answer.
- Stop messing with me and do it!
Gohan laughed heartily, but his laughter quickly faded, replaced by a more serious, almost tender look, before he took her lips. The kiss was incredibly sweet, nothing like the one the night before. They separated gently, Gohan cupping her cheek, stroking her hair.
- I think I love you. He finally blurted out, the truth too heavy to bear.
- You think? She laughed, trembling slightly. Well, in that case, I think I do too...
He leaned towards her again, kissing her a little more passionately. The kiss was shorter, both of them breathless.
- I've never... Never felt this way about anyone else, but I want you.
- I want you too, Gohan.
He suddenly seemed nervous, his gaze shifting away, his body moving slightly away from hers. He knew exactly what was supposed to happen next, he knew how his body would react, and he was all too aware of his own thoughts. Videl understood this quickly, after everything they had been through together, she was starting to know him really well. So she intertwined her fingers with his, placing her free hand on his shoulder, encouraging him.
- Videl...
- Gohan, look at me.
He listened to her and looked up at her before replying:
- I don't want to hurt you or ruin this. I'm afraid of messing up...
- Hey, remember, I'm not that fragile! She smiled. And if there's a problem, I'll tell you. We are together in this. I... I want you so much... She whispered, blushing. I trust you.
He took a deep breath, as if to gather his courage, then leaned towards her, giving her one last chance to back away.
She didn't.
He took the opportunity, their lips and bodies meeting in a more passionate embrace. Their movements were hurried, Gohan kicking off his shoes as Videl pulled him towards her bed. She let herself fall onto the bed, automatically causing him to lean over her as they continued to kiss. Videl's T-shirt was slightly pulled up, and Gohan took the opportunity to slide his hands underneath it, brushing her waist and then her ribs. She broke away from the kiss to breathe out loudly, which encouraged him to continue.
It felt so good, so special to feel him touch her body like this, so intimate that she couldn't help but want more.
She didn't have time to say anything, as he dove into her neck, planting countless kisses there.
She was on fire.
Her fingers dug into Gohan's shoulders, she arched her back and moaned softly as he dared to lick a strip along her neck before nibbling her skin.
- See? You're doing it all too well…
Gohan laughed softly, more than satisfied to hear her say that.
His hands moved up her body, reaching her chest, but before making a move, he looked at her, questioningly. In answer, Videl grabbed his hands and placed them on her breasts herself. He suddenly felt feverish, but quickly tightened his grip as she placed her hands on his forearms, as if to cling to him while playing a little with his wrist bands.
Their breathing was heavy and ragged, then she encouraged him again. So he removed one of his hands, grabbing the edge of her T-shirt to lift it up, gradually revealing her body. Videl still sensed a slight hesitation in Gohan, so she propped herself up on her elbows to remove her T-shirt herself, throwing it randomly across the room.
Gohan seemed almost overwhelmed by the sight of her body, unable to stop himself from admiring it. He lingered for a few seconds on her bandaged wound, which seemed to bother her as she lifted his chin, plunging her gaze into his. Their pupils glowed with desire, so he decided to remove his belt and the top of his gi before throwing himself at her. They were skin to skin, and that was exactly what he wanted.
Gohan began kissing her again, more eagerly this time, while his hands roamed her back, enjoying the softness and warmth of her skin. He wanted her so badly that his whole body tingled. He separated his mouth from hers, kissing her cheek, her jaw, her neck, and finally came to rest just above her nipple. He looked at her and smiled slightly when he noticed her breath catch, anticipating what was to come. Videl squeezed her hand around Gohan's forearm to signal him to go ahead.
And that's what he did.
He let the tip of his tongue touch her nipple, teasing her a little, frustrating her, before placing his mouth entirely over it. He alternated between sucking and licking, holding her breast firmly in his hand, his other hand caressing her hip. He revelled in the sounds she made and her body writhing under his caresses.
Gohan felt a surge of pride wash over him, she was reacting this way because of what he was doing to her. He was giving her pleasure, and this simple realization turned him on even more. The more he did, the more she moaned, and he ended up wanting more too. He moved his hand from her hip to her other breast, gently pinching her nipple, eliciting a small cry of surprise from her.
He finally turned his gaze back to her face and immediately felt his lower abdomen warm up. She was so beautiful, visibly aroused and full of desire for him.
Oh yes, he wanted her.
- What would you like me to do, Videl? He whispered mischievously.
- W-what? Do whatever you want, anything, but please don't stop...
Videl seemed to be in a trance, causing Gohan to laugh, which made her frown.
- Don't laugh at me!
- I'm not. I promise. You're just... tempting? You're gorgeous and I want you.
He was going to finish her off.
Videl finally sat up, demanding that he take off his trousers.
- As you wish!
Gohan was feeling very cheerful, what he had just done with Videl had given him a little more confidence for what was to come. But once he had taken off his trousers and left them on the floor, he heard an exclamation from Videl. He looked at her and noticed that her attention was focused entirely on his crotch. He was already hard, and she could clearly see his length and width through his underpants.
Now it was Gohan's turn to blush. He put his hand behind his neck and laughed nervously.
How could he be sexy and cute at the same time?
Videl didn't dwell on the question any longer. Kneeling on the bed while Gohan stood in front of her, she moved closer, her head perfectly face to face with his member. She bit her cheek, torn between desire and apprehension.
- Can I... touch it?
- A-ah... Um, I mean yes, if you want to...
Videl began by sliding her finger along his shaft through his underpants, and Gohan flinched. Then she placed her entire palm on it, beginning to massage it up and down, then in circular motions. She was fascinated by how hard it was.
Gohan, for his part, was tense, not knowing how to act, so he kept his eyes closed, struggling not to rush things.
But it was complicated.
No one had ever touched him there, except himself from time to time, and that was nothing like this. It felt divine.
His mind scattered, his thoughts raced, his body burned. He wanted to be inside her, he felt this need as a purely primitive instinct and wondered if it had anything to do with his Saiyan genes or if he was simply too turned on and in love with Videl. Maybe a little bit of everything.
- Gohan... I... I've never done this before, tell me if I'm doing something wrong and what I should do.
- Listen, the only fact that it's you drives me crazy, and you make me feel good, believe me. And... What do you want to do?
Videl simply looked at him, placing both hands on Gohan's hips and grabbing the fabric between her fingers to suggest that she wanted to remove it. He smiled, running his fingers through Videl's hair in a gesture meant to be reassuring and encouraging, then nodded. She then focused her attention on what was in front of her head, and before hesitation could overcome her, she pulled down Gohan's last piece of clothing. He kicked it off his ankles and looked up at her.
- You're... big. Oh my god. But I guess it's not surprising, after all...
- Oh... I...
He laughed nervously, so she smiled at him before asking:
- What do we do if it doesn't fit...?
- Sorry! I... We'll do something else, or not, either way it's perfectly-
- Gohan, I'm messing with you. It's fine. She laughed. I want... I mean, I want to taste you now... She blushed, avoiding his gaze.
- Please. He replied in a deep voice.
The sound of his voice made her shiver. She wrapped her hand around his member, making him gasp, then brought her face closer. Videl smiled mischievously before opening her mouth and lightly touching the tip of his penis with just the tip of her tongue. The tip of her tongue ran along his member, and as she moved back up, she looked up, locking her gaze with his. She continued to tease him with just the tip of her tongue, amused by his obvious frustration.
- Stop teasing me like that... He hissed, clenching his teeth.
- You did it too, now it's my turn.
He was about to reply, but she was quicker, taking him in her mouth and starting to move her head back and forth. Gohan, in shock, let out a groan, placing his hands on Videl's shoulders and squeezing them.
She was jubilant.
Her anxiety about not knowing how to do things properly had vanished thanks to Gohan's reactions.
He seemed to be enjoying it, and that was all that mattered to her.
Videl continued her head movements, her hand around his shaft moving in rhythm.
Then she began to swirl her tongue, making him moan over and over again.
He was losing his mind, nothing had ever felt this good, and he began to fear that he would finish too soon. Despite himself, he slid a hand into Videl's hair, pulling it slightly, then he began to thrust his hips, making her eyes widen as she moaned. Videl's moan seemed to resonate all along his member, making him even more tense.
- Fuck, Videl... You're going to have to stop if you want us to…
Gohan saw a grin on her face and vowed to drive her crazy in return. He pulled her face back, despite the desire to finish in her mouth. He was out of breath, and so was she.
They stared at each other intensely for a moment, trying to catch their breath, but their excitement took over.
Finally, Gohan pushed her down so she was lying, then easily removed her shorts, leaving her wearing only a pair of purple panties. He felt his own dick twitch when he noticed the dark wet spot on her panties. She realised what he was seeing and wanted to close her legs, but he was quicker, keeping them apart.
- Well, what do we have here?
- Shut up… She whispered, trembling.
He gave her a lecherous look, then touched her over her underwear, amused by the situation. Videl didn't resist for long before arching her hips, seeking firmer contact. Gohan laughed softly before caressing her intimacy with his fingers in circular motions. Videl was breathless, grinding against his hand, completely overwhelmed by her desire. He finally removed her last item of clothing, admiring her before touching her again.
She moaned at the direct contact, hiding her face in her hands.
- Don't hide from me, I want to see you. He whispered, removing her hands before kissing her.
As he kissed her passionately, he guided his finger to her wet entrance, caressing all around it before gently pushing it in, not wanting to hurt her. Her whole body tensed as she broke the kiss, needing to catch her breath. Gohan placed soft kisses on her temple while moving his finger inside her.
- More…
He didn't need to hear any more before adding a second finger, making her arch her back. He then placed his thumb against her clit, caressing it effectively. Videl's moans grew louder and closer together, and in response he fingered her with more force and speed. The room was filled with the sound of their breathing, moans, and the sound of Gohan's fingers moving in and out of her. He continued his back and forth motion while curling his fingers, stimulating a sensitive area inside her that she didn't even know existed, making her gasp.
- Oh... Where did you learn to do that...? My God...
- Books.
- ... Of course... She whispered after letting out a small laugh.
- I've thought about doing that to you so many times…
What?
Videl felt her lower abdomen gradually warming up as she gasped for air, unable to breathe properly, she came dangerously close to the edge.
- Go... Gohan... I'm going to…
Gohan immediately withdrew his fingers, causing her to cry out in frustration at the loss. And just as she was about to protest, he grabbed her ankles to lift her legs, leaving her intimacy perfectly accessible. He didn't wait any longer and plunged his face between her legs, alternating between licking and sucking her clitoris.
Videl found herself completely speechless, pleasantly surprised by Gohan's initiative and completely overwhelmed by how he made her feel.
He was literally devouring her, entirely devoted to her. Then she stopped moaning and wriggling, her breath catching as she grabbed his hair. He continued his attentions throughout her orgasm, which seemed to last forever. He revelled in her long final cry, then sat up once she gently pushed him away, overstimulated.
The moment that followed was extremely quiet, only Videl's breathing breaking the silence.
Gohan watched her, she was still experiencing slight spasms, her chest heaving as she tried to regain normal breathing. She finally opened her eyes, daring to look at Gohan. He was proud, it was obvious, it was clear. He wiped his mouth with his wrist band before smiling at her.
- You... Gohan, that was crazy, I'm exhausted.
- We can stop there for today if you want.
- No! I mean, do you want to stop?
- I'm pretty resilient, you know...
- So am I.
They looked at each other for a long time, he was still smiling, a slightly arrogant look on his face.
His dark eyes shone with a gleam that revealed his desire for her. Then she noticed a few strands of his hair were tousled, because of her, but he still had that same strand that fell nicely over his face.
- You're so handsome, it's unbearable.
Gohan seemed surprised to hear her say this, a slight blush spreading across his cheeks. She giggled before cupping his face in her hands, kissing him delicately, as if he might break at any moment. She felt an immense wave of love for him.
- I love you so much…
He felt his heart tighten when he heard her declaration. He then remembered how they had gotten to this point, the events of the previous day replaying in his mind.
- I can't lose you, Videl, I wouldn't survive it.
- I'm terribly sorry for all this, sincerely.
- I know. I am too, but I was so worried…
Gohan moved her hair behind her ear, making her shiver, and smiled when he noticed that her hair had grown a little bit, but he said nothing about it. He brought his lips close to hers, their breath mingling.
- I love you… He whispered before pressing his mouth against hers.
They remained extremely gentle for a long time, content to kiss and caress each other. Then, blindly, Videl moved her hand towards his penis, smiling against his lips when she realised it was still hard. He groaned into the kiss when she started to masturbate him.
- Do you want us to go all the way?
- Of course.
- Fine. He whispered before kissing her again.
Videl finally pulled away from him, lying back down on her back and spreading her legs, inviting him explicitly. He then positioned himself in front of her, taking his member in his hand and bringing it to her entrance. He began massaging her clit with his thumb again to relieve her while he gently penetrated her. She hissed in pain, feeling tears well up in her eyes.
- Are you okay? He asked, concerned, stopping his progress.
- It's not unbearable, just uncomfortable, it'll pass, don't worry. Just please keep going.
Gohan then tried to vary the stimulation of her clit, then kissed her body all over, while continuing to thrust. He continued to cherish her body even when he was fully inside her, waiting for her instructions. He had wanted her so much, and now he could have her. The feeling of being inside her was exquisite; it was warm, wet, comforting. He felt her squeezing slightly around him and he was dying to move.
Suddenly, he felt his ki rising, so he concentrated on not losing control, but the wind picked up a little around them anyway.
- Gohan?
- I'm fine... I just need to calm down a bit...
- You can start moving.
He just looked at her, so she frowned before moving her hips herself, as if to prove to him that she could handle it.
Gohan then immobilised her hips with both hands and began to penetrate her, letting out a long, guttural moan. Videl, finally feeling more comfortable, grabbed his neck to kiss him. His movements were steady and regular, and he moaned with each thrust. As for her, her breaths gradually turned into moans, taking more and more pleasure.
Then she asked him for more, and that was the last straw for Gohan. He began to hammer her at a completely crazy, erratic pace. She scratched his arms lightly as she clung to them while she endured the rhythm he relentlessly imposed on her. He thought about touching her clitoris again, and the pleasure was immediate, judging by the sounds she made. Her cries turned him on so much that the more she moaned, the faster he rubbed her.
Being stimulated everywhere, she began to pant, then raised her head, meeting his gaze. He realised she was about to come, so he continued the movement of his fingers and hips.
Videl tensed and screamed as her orgasm washed over her. The contractions around
Gohan's member made him tip over the edge, and he thrust his hips even harder for a few strokes before coming himself.
- Fuck…
She felt his dick throbbing inside her, then the jets came as he groaned.
She thought she could have come a third time at the mere thought of him ejaculating inside her.
Wait…
- Oh my God, Gohan?!
- What? He asked softly, breathless.
- Didn't your books mention using a condom?
Gohan froze, realising what she meant. He felt terribly stupid and guilty, and panic began to take hold of him.
- It's okay, I'm already on contraception, it should be fine.
- I'm... I'm sorry, I...
- To be honest, I didn't think about it either...
- Still...
- Well, there's nothing we can do about it now, so come here, I need a hug.
He smiled, embarrassed, before pulling away from her, grimacing when he saw the mess. Before he could protest, she pulled on his arms, making him lie on his back, and she rested her head on his chest, wrapping one arm around him. Gohan grabbed the blanket and covered their naked bodies before planting a kiss on the top of her head.
- We'll have to clean all this up though. He grimaced.
- Yes... But I just needed that first. By the way, Gohan?
- Yes?
- What did you mean by 'I've thought about doing this to you so many times'?
Videl felt him tense up, then he started to laugh nervously.
- Um... well, that'll be a story for another time, I guess?
- Gohan...
She smiled, amused by the different sides of her boyfriend. He hadn't hesitated to say those things to her during the act, but now he was playing shy and dodging the subject. She liked both versions and felt so lucky to have him.
Gohan pulled her a little closer to him, then a general calmness came over them, and they ended up falling asleep like that.
