Life With You

Part 2: Getting to Know You

As ChiChi walked Goku to his room, she blushed thinking of her situation. She was walking a boy to his room in her home alone. It pleased her how much trust her father had in her and Goku to not do anything naughty. Not that she would. ChiChi wasn't that type of girl. However, with her and Goku alone, she did think now was the perfect time to ask for a kiss. A real kiss. Not that the kiss on the cheek she gave Goku wasn't real. She wanted one on the lips. She was eighteen after all. It was well past time for her to get kissed on the lips. She had wanted a real kiss from Goku since they left the tournament. ChiChi had hoped it would happen on Nimbus. She sent Goku enough signals. She pressed herself against him. She was even so bold as to caress his chest but nothing she did inspired him to kiss her. She was too shy to verbally request it while they were on Nimbus but now she felt emboldened to do just that if needed.

"We're here," ChiChi announced by the door. "It's..." she paused blushing, "right across from mine."

Goku looked behind him. "Okay," he acknowledged unsure what the big deal was that she slept across from him. He turned back to the door leading to his room, turned the knob and entered. "Wow," Goku awed at his new room.

ChiChi closed the door after him. It wasn't as big as hers but ChiChi was happy Goku thought it was impressive. She stood back as Goku explored the room. He dropped his power pole at the foot of the bed and laid on the soft comforter. "Ah, this bed is really soft." His eyes noticed a partially opened door to the right of him. Curious, got up and went inside. "Oh, wow! There's a bathroom in here."

ChiChi went to the bed and picked up the power pole. She opened the closet door to place the pole in when she felt a hand grip her wrist. "Hey!" ChiChi turned her head upwards to see an annoyed Goku looking at her. "What are you doing with Grandpa's Power Pole?"

ChiChi blinked. Where did Goku come from? Did he really move that fast from the bathroom? While the grip didn't hurt her, ChiChi noticed it was firm and she couldn't move. "It was on the floor. I'm putting it in the closet so none of us trip on it."

"Oh." Goku released her wrist. "I thought you were stealing it. It's all I have to remember Grandpa by since I don't have the four-star dragon ball."

"I would never steal your things, Goku." ChiChi placed the power pole in the closet. She knew he thought of her as a stranger but did he have trust issues, too? This was a good opportunity to ask about Gohan. She knew a little about him from her father but she wanted to hear Goku's thoughts on Gohan. She thought it was a good opening to get to know her future husband. "Has anyone tried to take your grandfather's memento from you?"

Goku walked away from her. "A few." He laid on his bed and closed his eyes. "I'm gonna go to sleep. I'm tired."

Asking anymore about his grandfather was forgotten with that announcement. She didn't want Goku to sleep yet. She wanted to talk. She wanted a kiss!

"You should wash up first," ChiChi suggested. "You shouldn't put a dirty body in a clean bed."

Goku sat up on the bed. "Dirty body?"

Good. He wasn't going to sleep yet. She had to keep him awake. "You can't be clean with all that fighting you did today. Not to mention being inside Piccolo's body." ChiChi looked at herself. She wasn't clean either. She didn't work up a sweat fighting her opponents but she did get a lot of dirt on her from Goku's fight with Piccolo. "I should wash up, too."

ChiChi had a point about being dirty and if it would get her off asking about grandpa, Goku was fine with cleaning up. He slipped off his heavy boots asking, "You wanna take a bath together?"
