Their Love Story [Gohan x Angel]
// sent Feb 14-15
Despite showering Gohan with gifts and fun dates, she had saved one very special present for last.
“Did I ever tell you about the day I first started having feelings for you?” she asked. She already knew the answer, but she couldn’t think of a better way to bring it up.
“It was when we were kids—on your birthday. I made you that cake, and you carried me back to your place,” she said with a soft giggle. “It was brief, but you held my hand to steady me. It wasn’t much, but I felt my cheeks heat up and butterflies flutter in my stomach. It was like I just knew you’d always be there to keep me safe.”
She paused, caught in the memory. A blush rose to her cheeks as the words tumbled out, and still, she couldn’t stop.
“It wasn’t some huge crush at first. But after that day… I couldn’t help thinking about you more and more. Even after we drifted apart, those feelings only grew. I was caught washing the same dish or sweeping the same spot because I was so lost in thought.” She smiled shyly. “And when we met again at the start of the school year…”
She looked up, wanting to finish—but by then, her blush had nearly taken over her whole face.
“Sorry,” she murmured. “I must’ve talked your ear off.”
“Nope, guess there is no better day to tell me huh haha,” Gohan replied with laugh, heart racing at the subject matter. It made him start to think when he himself starting falling for Angel
“Whoa, really? Back when we were kids?” He was really surprised, through that made sense, they first grew to become close friends. Though they ended up drifting apart, more so because Gohan was focusing on his studies, and would be awkward to meet up with Angel again the longer he waited. So them meeting up going to highschool was such a blessing, it gave them a chance to finally meet again and catch up.
Angel was so cute as always when she was blushing, even more because of him. “No, not at all, I’m really happy to listen,” Gohan reassured her, then decided to share in her commitment. “Then it’s only fair that I tell when I started having feelings for you.”
The hybrid Saiyan had to think for a bit, back then when they were kids, Gohan was grateful to have Angel as a friend, celebrating birthdays together. He didn’t really register her as a female to be attracted to yet, or have feelings for beyond friendship.
“I guess, when we met in the city going to school, I thought you were the prettiest girl out there. But we were catching up, and starting school together, so I didn’t want to make it weird by being too forward,” Gohan tried to explain his feelings back then. “But when the guys at school started talking to you more, I felt really angry on the inside.”
“So I talked to Krillin about my feelings, and he told me that I was being jealous! That it was okay to feel it, just not act on it harshly so it doesn’t hurt you. So, I focused on my training to sort that out, and stayed close to you without being in the way of other people.
It felt so selfish to keep you all to myself, and I wanted to be a good friend first, but my feelings grew for you the more time we spent together. And now here we are, I couldn’t be happier, Angel,” Gohan explained with a bright smile at the finish.
