How To Be A Heartbreaker (DBZ)

"Hello" "How are you?"

One Year Later

I wonder at times, what's going on with you? Not many people rave about you as they did before. I wonder, how even after a year you still haven't parted from that girl. Though then again she is beautiful so there isn't a point to not leave her. It feels so strange, hopping into this plane going back to the city where we found each other and parted ways. Returning to the city where two hearts broke simultaneously though...this was the city where I found friendships and learned from my many mistakes.

Somehow, you taught me of what I did wrong.

I'm not saying you are some holy saint; you're far from it. However, denying you truly helped me find my true faults is simply a lie. That's why I come back to the city. To see you a final time before I say 'yes' to the man who managed to make me happier than anyone on this Earth. I'm sure you found your equal, as have I.

In front of this mansion, this is where I waited for you that one day about a year ago.

...

An honest to Kami shocking surprise was it to be graced by the face of the blonde I seemingly have been longing to see face-to-face once more. I forgot how to speak. She was there, a big smile plastered on her face.

"Hello."

I blinked, astounded by simply just seeing her standing before me. My mouth constantly dropping open and closed in an attempt to reply.

"How are you?"

Marron stood, her face looking down shame burning on her face as Trunks simply stared below him flabbergasted at seeing her of all people in his home. "W-What are you doing here?" Trunks automatically questioned, Marron sadly smiled a bit at the sound of his voice before looking up.

"I, well..." Marron began, Trunks royal blue eyes widened hoping to hear the words he desired, "came to ask for your blessings."

"Pardon?" Trunks asked left dumbfounded at Marron's word, the blonde's blush intensifying "My blessings?"

Marron shifted to the side before finally being able to connect her eyes with his, "Y-Yes you see," Marron stammered, "I'm getting married."

That's when Trunks' eyes nearly popped from his skull, not believing a single word Marron had just spewed out, he was still trying to process how she even got to his house in the first place. Kami had he hoped for something else, not this...anything but this, "Married...?" Marron nodded in her reply, a somewhat nervous smile twitching on her lips, "w-when did this all happen Marron?"

"I was in Paris...I just found someone who could make me happier than of what I was," Marron sighed, feeling strange to having to explain this to a past love...one she felt to have gotten over already, "I came to ask for your blessing because without you I wouldn't have corrected many mistakes I've committed...despite that any and all emotions have disappeared for you I...you're still important to me."

Trunks stared at the blonde, stared at the small little features on her face. She seemed much different from the old Marron. She smiled more and gave out this naive vibe that only a younger girl could give off. She had much brighter eyes and some kind of empathetic look in her eyes, so much different from that Marron who kissed him under that damned flickering lamppost during the winter. It hurts to see her, and it hurts to see her so happy with someone else.

But she wasn't herself, and the fact she didn't come in with that dominating demeanor that he fell for bothered him immensely. Was something up, was she lacking something? What the hell going on with her?

"Oh..." Trunks blinked a second time, still trying to process what just happened, "uh, why don't you come inside...and we'll talk more about this?"
