The week passed and the weekend has arrived. Since you were so caught up in your classes this week, you did not have time to pick out an outfit. Fortunately, you were meeting Gohan in the afternoon. You two have been texting throughout the week and video chatting. You liked video chatting with him more because it almost felt as if he was with you when he wasn't physically. You also got to see his muscles which you have been swooning over.

You almost couldn't believe that a guy this hot could be this kind.

Not that some attractive people aren't kind people, you're going based off your personal experience with those whom you found to be attractive and ended up not being how they first appeared to you when it came to their personality.

Anytime you weren't speaking with Gohan, you couldn't help but to analyze the situation from time to time because of how skeptical you would feel sometimes. You didn't mean to. You couldn't help it sometimes. There were so many times that you would think that everything would be okay and it turned out, nothing was okay and the guy chose not to communicate with you.

You did your best to tell yourself that it was not yourself that some of the guys you were involved with decided not to communicate with you when things were going south. You did your best to tell yourself that when you tried talking to them and they wouldn't respond, it was because you were putting 'too' much effort because you'd call once or twice a day and nothing. You did your best to tell yourself that those guys were just cowards for not telling you that they just didn't want to be with you instead of abruptly disappearing on you.

All these thoughts going through your head started to make you feel tired. You went into your kitchen to grab a glass of water to relax a bit before getting dressed for your date with Gohan.

You were able to wake up with enough time to figure out an outfit. You finished your drink to go to the bathroom to take a shower and groom yourself. You already had breakfast earlier today but you didn't get a chance to have lunch. You were actually feeling a little nervous about the date so you figured your body can wait until you two have dinner. It hasn't been established but knowing his eating habits, you two were going to have dinner together.

*choose an outfit you would like to wear on a date*

After getting dressed, you checked yourself in the mirror to make sure everything looked okay. You couldn't help but feel ugly even though your outfit was just fine. You slowly slumped down in front of the mirror. You looked up at your clock on the wall to see how much time you had left to lift up your spirits until you had to head out to meet up with Gohan. You about an hour. But, that was the hour you needed to travel over in order not to show up late. You turned your head to look back at the mirror.

You felt sad.

It has been a while since you've been on a date. It has been a while since you've been on a date with a guy who seemed this remotely nice. But, as you were thinking more and more about things, the sadder you became. Before you knew it, it was time to meet up with Gohan but you didn't leave your house. You just stayed sitting in front of your mirror.

Then, you heard your cell phone ring. You checked the saved name and it was Gohan. You almost didn't want to pick up but clearly, he's calling because he's worried. Should you cancel and meet up with him tomorrow? You only sighed and picked up.

"Hello?..."

"Hey! (y/n)! I'm here at the fair. It's been about ten minutes. Just wanted to make sure everything is okay."

"......."

"...is everything okay?"

"I'm not feeling well emotionally...."

"Did something happen?"

"I checked myself out in the mirror..."

"Huh?..."

"I checked myself out in the mirror and then I psyched myself out, Gohan! I haven't been on a date in a long time. You've also been so nice to me. It's scary..."

"I don't want you to feel scared when you're with me. I don't know what you been through but I know we can at least try to get through this. Together if you're okay with me knowing some stuff."

There it was again - his kindness.

You started crying because you felt so dumb for feeling so sad but everything that has happened. Things have been difficult over time.

"I don't want to be scared when I'm with your either. I want to keep trying, Gohan."

"Great. I'll come pick you up okay? I'll be there in a little bit."

"Okay. See you soon."

You ended the call and only let out another sigh. You try patting yourself on the cheek to try to shake off this sadness that crawled its way in. You closed your eyes and tried your-breathing exercising that was advised to you by the psychology majors on campus. You thought psych majors helping people with their mental health was a bit ludicrous since they're still learning themselves. But, you were lucky enough to find a lovely young woman, around your age, who has been a tremendous help towards moving forward when it comes to your romantic life.

You opened your eyes because you heard a knock on your door. You checked your clock again and noticed that it has only been about ten minutes since you got off the phone with Gohan. You thought it couldn't be him because it takes about an hour to get to your place from the fair. You were able to get up and made your way to the bathroom to rinse your face with cold water before walking to the door. You checked the peephole and saw it was Gohan.

"Whoa!" You shouted towards him. "How did you get here so fast?!"

"I have my ways." He said with a wink. You blushed.

"So, hows about I stay here with you, since you're not feeling well. We'll watch a movie and order some take-out! Does that sound okay? I know you wanted to go to the fair but I don't want you to push yourself too hard."

His kindness was more than you expected. He was also being considerate and thoughtful of the fact that you weren't feeling well and suggested something that would ease your pain; staying home and relaxing. Looking up at him, you started the sadness beginning to drift away. You were actually able to smile.

"Thank you, Gohan. That's a great idea."


A/N: I wrote this chapter super last minute because I said you guys would have chapter 3 today; I wanted to keep my word. I apologize if anything is confusing and for any errors this chapter has. I do plan to come back to this chapter soon to proofread again to try to fix a majority of my mistakes.
