As I Grow

Chapter 20: Moments Like These

Trunks' hand covered my mouth. He looked into my eyes and smiled. "Shh! You'll wake everyone up," he said, uncovering my mouth.

"Why are you in my shower?" I whispered at him.

"Because," he said, stepping into the water. His lavender hair wet to a darker shade of purple. The water fell out of his hair and trailed down along all of his fine-toned body. I felt myself grow hot, and I looked away. I felt him shift, and I looked over at him, and his eyes were on me.

He was a little red in the face, probably because we were standing naked in a heated shower together. I looked up into his blue eyes, and I kind of wished I looked a little more like Mama than Grandma, maybe then I'd have blue eyes too. Anyway, he picked me up and put me under the water. The heat of it made me wince a little, but I quickly got used to it.

I ran my hands through my hair to make sure that it was all wet. I grabbed my shampoo and started washing my hair. I eyed Trunks, who was currently washing his body. I quickly put my focus back on me, so that I wouldn't do anything stupid. Once I rinsed the shampoo out of my hair, I grabbed my conditioner. I ran that through my hair and then rinsed it out as well.

Trunks and I traded places, and he washed his hair as I washed my body. It was a little distracting to have him there with me, but I somehow felt safe. I couldn't explain why, but I think it might have something to do with the bond growing between us. He looked down at me and smiled the only-Trunks-can-pull-this-off smile, and I found myself smiling up at him with the goofy Son grin.

We traded places yet again, so I could rinse my body off. As soon as I reached for the handle to shut the water off, Trunks grabbed ahold of my wrist. It caught me off guard, and I let out a little shriek. Once again, his other hand covered my mouth, and he looked at me. "Shh!"

Trunks backed me up against the wall of the shower, and I could tell there was something on his mind. He looked pained but happy at the same time. "Trunks? Are you okay?" I asked him. He kind of shrugged it off, and his mouth covered mine. I wrapped my free arm around his neck, deepening the kiss. I knew we had enough control not to go too far, but our bodies desperately wanted to.

He released his hold on my wrist, and I put my other arm around his neck. Trunks was hovering over me, and he looked into my eyes. I smiled, and he returned it, along with his mouth once again over mine. He leaned forward, his hardened member brushing against my thigh. He was enjoying himself, and I giggled to myself. He pulled back and looked at my funny, and I kissed him again.

The water grew cold, and Trunks was annoyed by it, so he turned it off. I slipped out of the shower as he focused on that. I grabbed a towel and started drying off my body. Trunks came out and did the same thing, his eyes not leaving my body once. I could tell that if we weren't careful, we would do something tonight, that would get us both killed by Papa.

I put my pajamas on, and I crawled under the blankets of Trunks' bed. His bed was soft and warm. I enjoyed it, and I knew that I could crash at any moment. Trunks came out a little later and jumped onto the bed, scaring the hell out of me. He covered my mouth in time, so my scream was muffled. He laughed, and I just gave him a glare.

"I'm sorry, Panny," he started. "I just couldn't help myself." He had started laughing harder, and I sat up, well attempted to. Trunks was sitting on my legs, and it was hard to try and wiggle free. I finally did, and I sat up, and he came and sat next to me. He took my hand, and I leaned against him.

"So, how was your birthday?" I asked him, knowing some of it was bad.

"Well, aside from getting my ass kicked by Gohan, it was a really good day. I'm just happy I get to end it with the girl I love most in this world," he said, kissing the back of my hand.

"Well, that's good," I said, smiling. We sat for a while, and then Trunks got up and shut the light off. He came back over and crawled under the covers.

"How was your day?" Trunks asked.

"It was amazing," I said. I rolled over onto my right side, the side that faced Trunks. He was looking up at the ceiling, and I smiled to myself. I could've lost either him or Papa today, and I was glad I didn't. I was happy Papa let me stay too, although I somehow knew that he would do this tonight, so I could stay with Trunks.

"When is your next sibling due?" Trunks asked after a while.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Uh, I think in a few months," I said, laying on my back.

"Panny?" Trunks' voice rang out.

"Yes, Trunks?" I asked.

"In a few years, I want to have a child. With you," he said, his face appearing in front of mine.

"Yeah, same here," I said, smiling at him. He smiled back, and we spent the rest of the night before we fell asleep, talking about what we would do as parents, and how we would raise a child.

Sunlight broke my trance of rest, and when I opened my eyes, Bulma was over by Trunks' window. "Time to get up you two," she said, smiling. I sat up, and Trunks was laying on his stomach next to me. I uncovered myself, and I stood up and stretched.

"Good morning Bulma," I said smiling at her.

"Sleep well?" she asked.

"Yeah, I did," I said, walking over to my bag. I grabbed clean clothes and headed for the bathroom. Once I was changed, I came back out and Trunks was still asleep.

"Wake him up, okay?" Bulma said, shutting the door. I walked over to his bed and sat down next to his sleeping form. His face was facing me, and there was hair in his eyes. He looked so peaceful when he slept. I layed myself down next to him, and I placed my lips on his. I pulled back, and his eyes fluttered open.

"Good morning," I whispered to him.

"Morning," he said, smiling. He looked over at the clock, and then he got up and started gathering clothes and stuff.

"Trunks?" I said, glancing at him.

"Yes, Panny?" he said, looking for a clean shirt for his suit.

"Wear this one," I said, pulling out another present.

"What?" he asked as he turned around.

"I forgot about this yesterday. I got you two presents. Here," I said, handing him the box. He opened it and pulled out a white dress shirt, a sky blue tie, and a lavender tie. He smiled and pulled out his black suit and put it on, along with his new shirt and the lavender tie.

"Thanks, Panny," he said, kissing my cheek. After that, we headed downstairs for some breakfast.

"Morning guys," Bulla said as Trunks and I walked into the kitchen.

"Morning Bulla," I said, grabbing a plate for food. I got mine, and I sat down next to Bulla, and Trunks sat on my other side.

"Oh, Pan?" Trunks asked.

"Yeah?" I said, facing him.

"You're going to work with me today," he said, smiling. We had finished with breakfast, and he was already dragging me to the car and to his office
