Humanity (Trunks x OC)

Part 31

"Are you going to tell me where we're going yet?" Julliet asks Trunks for perhaps the third time.

He looks back at her, a playful frown on his face. "Don't be impatient." he scolds her.

"Well forgive me for being curious. I cannot recall ever having gone on a date. I'm dying to know what you came up with." she counters.

"Well, I never really brought anyone on a date before, so my nerves are already shot. Can you just...please bare with not knowing a little longer?" he asks, blinking sweetly at her.

Julliet sighs, giving in. How can she not when he looks at her like that. "Oh fine." she pouts slightly.

After a few minutes, Trunks reaches out to clasp her hand. "I'll need you to close your eyes for a moment. Or it'll ruin the surprise." he explains.

She looks at him questioningly. "Alright. But don't let me fly into anything." she warns him playfully.

He chuckles in reply. "I would never do that to you. You can trust me."

"And I do." she tells him, closing her eyes and letting him guide her.

They soon touch down and Julliet starts to fidget a little, hearing the sound of crashing waves and a crackling close by.

"Now, I need to warn you that since just about everything is closed because of Cell, I needed to figure out a good alternative. So, I hope you like this." she hears Trunks tell her as he moves behind her, one hand resting on her waist.

"Can I open my eyes?" she questions.

"Go ahead." he urges.

Julliet blinks in wonder as she sees a pit dug out on the beach, a campfire burning steadily in the center and the sand at the edge of the pit is packed so it forms a makeshift seat, towels draped over it so they will not have to get their clothes dirty. Several refreshments are set aside for them to share together.

It seems they have the beach to themselves as there is not a soul in sight.

Trunks bites the insides of his cheeks nervously as he tries to read what Julliet is thinking. He let's out a relieved breath as she smiles up at him. "It's wonderful!"

Trunks chuckles happily before pulling his girlfriend towards the pit, lifting her by the waist and setting her down in it gently before motioning her to take a seat He knows Julliet is far from fragile, but on this date he will treat her like a princess. He wants to make sure this will be a day to remember.

Luckily he had Krillin to help set this up for them in advance and his mom was able to give him a few pointers.

They enjoy the sunny afternoon, eating and talking. Cell never comes up again. It is just them in the world today.

Trunks' nerves calmed significantly as he just feels so comfortable around Julliet and the same goes for her being around Trunks. Eventually they end up building a sandcastle.

"Casa Julliet is almost finished." she announces, creating details in the sand with the corner of a shell.

"Where is your room?" Trunks asks as he lies on his stomach next to her, trying to build a bridge over the moat they dug.

"Why do you ask?" she questions, sending him a flirty smile. It's enough to make him blush. She really enjoys teasing him she came to realize. "There it is." she points out one of the towers, not giving him the chance to answer.

"Oh? So high up? Will you even be able to hear me serenade you from up there?" Trunks jokes.

"Of course. You can fly can't you?" she laughs.

"True. Will you wait for me there? I'm nearly finished with my bridge." he asks.

Julliet gazes at him, leaning her head on her palm and digging her bare toes in the sand. "I'll wait forever for you if I have to." she states, making him look up from his project, smiling back at her with loving eyes.

"What?" she asks after a moment of him staring at her intently.

"I'm older now." he states randomly, making her tilt her head in confusion. "Don't you remember? Years ago?" he urges before a look of realization crosses Julliet's face.

"That's right." she muses, before grinning. She remembers a teenage Trunks gaping at her as they both stood on the beach. "You are indeed older now."

"I thought you were the prettiest girl I ever laid eyes on." Trunks admits, blushing as he remembers embarrassing himself in front of her when he was still about fourteen. "You still are." he adds shyly.

"You are still adorable." she tells him, making him look offended.

"Adorable?" he repeats.

"Yes." she confirms. "You were very cute, but also very brave. You held a lot of fire in your eyes. I could tell you were special." she says.

Trunks' eyes softened. "And what do you think of me now?" he can't help but wonder.

Julliet smiles as she gazes at him intently. "You are amazing." she states as she scoots closer to him, making him blush once again.

He sighs contently as he leans his forehead against hers, looking into her eyes. "Julliet... I love you." he confesses, making her smile brightly.

"I love you as well Trunks." she replies. "More than anything." she adds before meeting his lips.

Trunks smiles into the kiss before deepening it, pulling Julliet's frame against his. His hands roam her sides and back freely, while she buries her fingers in his hair.

Feeling bold, he teases her lips with his tongue and teeth until she grants him entrance to explore. He does so greedily and Julliet soon returns the gesture hungrily.

After parting for a gulp of air, and feeling a little jealous that Julliet doesn't need to, Trunks lets his lips roam across his girlfriend's jawline before burying his face in the crook of her neck, leaving gentle kisses on her skin wherever he can reach.

He jumps when a cold sensation washes over his frame and looks up startled to see that the tide has risen to wash over their frames. Julliet laughs at the look on his face, making him glare playfully. They both can't seem to care about them getting wet though.

"There goes our castle." he notes, seeing the water lap at the sides, peeling away the sand layer by layer. "But I have something better." he soon adds, grinning down at the young woman below him, her hair being tugged back and forth by the water that runs past them.

"What's that?" Julliet wonders, smiling up at him.

"A beached mermaid." Trunks jokes.

"Well not for long." she laughs in reply as wave crashes over them, soaking them even more.

Trunks jumps to his feet before picking up Julliet bridal style. "Oh hello." she muses playfully, wrapping her arms around his neck. He carries her back to the campfire, setting her down on a towel.

As soon as he sits down beside her, Julliet throws her legs across his lap, snuggling into his broad chest. Trunks wraps his arms around her frame, resting his cheek on the top of her head and gazing out towards the setting sun over the ocean ahead. He's never felt happier.
