The Story Of Us || trunks x pan

I trust you

Third person POV
"And where have you two been?" Bulla said, tapping her feet impatiently. She had been looking for these two 'idiots' for kami knows how long. "The party ended a long time ago. And what's up with you two?" She asked, referring to their intertwined hands. They let go of each other's hand shyly and laughed nervously. "I-it's nothing Bul, let's go open your gifts! I bet you got a lot of nice ones, " Trunks said, trying to change the topic. He didn't want to talk about that. Not yet, at least. Bulla let it go for now, but she was certain that something conspired between those two. She'd just have to wait for either of them to spill.

Needless to say, Bulla had a lovely birthday. She cried when she opened Pan's gift. It was her favourite gift of the year. She loved all the dresses, jewelry, and other stuff she got from her aunts and uncles. Her mother got her tickets to fly to Fiji, and she was ecstatic, begging her mum to let her come with Pan and Goten. She didn't want to go on such a trip without them. She even convinced her that if Goten went, Trunk will. And with that, he will be away from work for a while. That was the selling point, and Bulma let her have it, buying extra 3 tickets.

After the gift opening, Bulla literally dragged Pan to her room. She NEEDED to tell Pan about Goten's confession. And she needed advice. Sure, she liked Goten but she was a bit nervous. She had never dated anyone before and she didn't want to screw up. She also figured that she'd make Pan spill the tea about her and Trunks.

"What's the rush Bul? I nearly tripped on the stairs because of how fast you draggged me." Pan said out of breath. She had to run to catch up with the speed Bulla pulled her with.

"I need help Panny! Something happen when you and Trunks were away doing Kami knows what. "

Pan tried so hard not to think about the kisses her and Trunks shared, knowing fully well that her cheeks will flush red and she wasn't ready for Bulla's teasing. She needed to be sure about what's going on with her and Trunks first before she tells a soul.

"Okay? What happened?"

Bulla sighs and plops on the bed, her head in her pillow. She screamed into it and kicked her legs like a high schooler. Pan looked her in utter confusion.

"Bulla what the hell?"

"Goten confessed to me!"

"WHAT?! WHEN?"

"Shhhhhh!" Bulla covered her mouth,  muffling her excited screams. "You might as well let the whole neighborhood know! " She whisper-yelled.

"Sorry, I'm just so excited! Omg I literally ship y'all! " Pan bounced on the bed excitedly, patting Bulla's leg violently as she does so. "Omg what did he say?!"

"Well," Bulla began, taking a deep breath to calm her excitement. "It actually started with talks about birthdays and how birthdays are the only time I get to feel special. And then he said that I'm special to him everyday and that he has always wanted to tell me but didn't have the opportunity to and that now that he had the opportunity, he wouldn't waste it."

"Omg awwwwww! "

"And then he said he likes me a lot."

"Stop! That is actually super cuteee!! And this is Goten we're talking about. Goten and cute don't belong in the same sentence." They laugh, feeling content in each other's presence. Bulla lays down and Pan follows, making herself more comfortable on Bulla's bed.

"So what did you say?"

"I told him that I also like him"

Pan screeches in excitement. She was so happy for her best friend. She had been shipping her and Goten for the longest time so to see her ship sail was the best news she heard all day. Well, besides the fact that Trunks loves her. But this isn't about that.
