Chapter Twenty Five: Happily Ever After
Yamcha, Piccolo and Chi-Chi were practically frozen on the spot, all looking up at the glass case just in time to see the last petal of the rose break off from the stem of the flower before torturously floating to the bottom. Watching in near horror as the flower then died and lost the last of its glow before turning their tear stained faces over to where their dead master lay. Trunks still clinging onto him and miserably sobbing on his chest.
They simply could not believe it. After going through all of that, the spell, Trunks, the arguments, and then the battle with the villagers... they had been so close. But now, they were to not only remain cursed for the rest of their lives, but they had to do it without their master as well.
How could things have possibly gone so wrong?
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Trunks was still sobbing and sniffling against Gohan's chest, refusing to listen to the better half of his judgment to leave him be, and to go and get someone who can help bring his body inside and out of the cold weather. But the thought that he was now dead and wouldn't mind a little cold had taken over.
He just wanted to hold him, even if he wasn't being held in return, and he didn't want to move from that spot ever. Because Gohan was dead, and he never even had the chance to tell him how he felt, and all he could do about it was cry.
It simply wasn't fair.
What Trunks didn't see, as he had his eyes squeezed tightly shut from where he lay, were the strange and colorful lights streaming down with the gentle rain.
Only a few at first, landing before disappearing in sparks around them. But soon they got to be faster and faster, brighter and brighter. And it wasn't until Trunks felt the strange feeling of Gohan's body actually lifting from the stone floor did he open his eyes.
He whipped his head around in a mixture of shock and fear. Not knowing what the bright lights around him were and also not knowing why Gohan was suddenly floating up off the ground.
In a moment of slight panic, he tried to push him back down to the floor, not wanting whatever it was that was doing that to take him away. But a sudden and very strong gust of wind blew him away, sending him flying into the wall with a cry of surprise.
"Gohan!" Trunks cried out helplessly, watching his body get higher and higher into the air before it suddenly stopped.
He blinked, highly confused as to what was going on before watching a bright light slowly engulf him. First his arms, and then his legs before finally his head. And for a moment, to Trunks' complete and heart wrenching fear, he completely disappeared within the light.
For a split second, Trunks was afraid that the body was being taken from him.
It wasn't enough that Gohan had to die by that hands of Hercule of all people, but some God or another though it necessary to take his body as well. But then, the light around him suddenly vanished, but strangely enough, so did Gohan, and in his place was a dark haired man!
Trunks pushed away a stray strand of hair that the wind had blown into his eyes, watching as the man, who's face he had yet to see, was slowly lowered to the stone floor.
Trunks then took two timid steps towards him, to see if he was alright but also to ask where had Gohan gone, but he was stopped in his tracks as the stranger made a sudden movement. And out of both instinct and fear he backed away again.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Gohan felt soar all over his body, and freezing cold too as he practically fought to get up. His cloak and shredded pants hanging loosely off of him when he finally managed to stand. And it was then that he couldn't help but notice how much shorter he felt. And why did the wind suddenly feel so much colder?
He couldn't help the shiver that ran up his spine, and when he went to put his arms around himself, it was only then that he noticed that complete lack of animal hair, as well as his smaller frame.
"What the...?" He mumbled softly to himself, stretching out his arms to have a good look at them, astonished to find that there actually was no animal hair there. Just the normal amount of human arm hair over pale skin.
'It can't be...' He thought in astonishment, tears of joy threatening to spill over his eyes as he examined his completely human hands.
Skin, not fur.
Fingernails, and not claws.
Gohan quickly brought a hand up and started to feel his teeth with the tip of his thumb, laughing out loud in sheer happiness to find that they were no longer six inches long or razor sharp.
He was human again! He was actually human again!
But then, a sudden thought struck him, and he stopped laughing. Because for the spell to work, Trunks had to love him.
Trunks loves him?
'HE LOVES ME!!!'
That triumphant and extremely happy thought in mind, he began whipping his head around in search for the lavender haired teen. Stopping abruptly when he completely turned around and found him on the other side of the balcony. Shaking at the sight of him and in tears.
Gohan's face fell at the sight of him. Of course he would be upset! What did he expect? Trunks just watched him die and then get changed from a monster into a human! He must be so confused.
"What-what happened?" Trunks stuttered out, fear and confusion the most evident thing in his voice. Everything had happened so fast that he didn't know what to think anymore. Where was Gohan? And who was this man? And why did he look so much like...
Gohan took a shaky step forward, still finding it to be a little difficult to walk but still managing. "Trunks, it's me." He said simply, not really knowing what else to say.
Trunks blinked, now knowing why the man before him looked so familiar.
He was the human Gohan he'd been dreaming about. The very same person in the shredded painting in Gohan's room. But then... why was he here...?
Trunks' eyes widened. 'No way...'
"Gohan?" He asked, not really knowing what he was expecting in an answer.
Gohan nodded his head.
Trunks was completely flabbergasted. "But-but I thought you were..." He couldn't finish, he was still so confused. How could the human Gohan and the beast Gohan be one and the same?
Not that he wasn't grateful that he was alive mind you.
Gohan shook his head, feeling that he could tell him the full truth now that the curse was finally lifted from him. "No Trunks, it was a spell, this is what I really look like." He explained, raising his arms a bit before letting them fall back to his sides, hoping that he would like what he saw and not find anything wrong with his near naked body.
Trunks however, found nothing at all wrong with him. If he could love him as a beast then he could surely love him as a human. He honestly didn't care what he looked like. As long as he was alive and well then he didn't care.
Feeling more tears building in his eyes, these ones being tears of happiness instead of pain as he ran towards him before throwing his arms around him in a tight hug. Gohan having to fight to keep from falling backwards with the added weight, but said nothing in complaint.
He loved having Trunks there with him. And he loved holding him. He'd been waiting to hold him like that for so long that his very heart ached for it.
But then he felt something peculiar. Trunks almost felt as if he was... trembling. "Trunks? Are you alright?" Gohan asked, his voice filled with worry.
Trunks shook his head through his tears. "I-I'm just so glad you're okay!" He cried, squeezing him a little extra tighter. "I thought you were dead!"
Gohan sighed sadly as he held him, softly kissing his silk hair as if to reassure him of his presence. "I'm okay, you don't have to cry now." He whispered soothingly, hating the idea that there were tears in his beautiful blue eyes. "I'm not going anywhere. I love you." He said.
Trunks raised his head up to look at him, tears still smeared on his cheeks and watering up his eyes, but he seemed to clear a lot of them up when he heard those three little words. "You do?" He whispered almost pitifully, and it was then that Gohan mentally smacked himself.
He knew about Trunks' love from the spell, so of course he wouldn't know about his love! How much of a fool could he be?!
All Gohan allowed himself to do was nod his head. "Of course I do." He whispered, running a hand through his long lavender hair. "Always."
Trunks couldn't help himself at that point, smiling brightly through his tears, he tightly wrapped his arms around Gohan's neck before kissing him as fiercely as humanly possible. And Gohan eagerly kissed back, tightly holding him in place as if to prevent him from going anywhere as he slid his tongue in his mouth to explore.
Trunks' lips were just as soft, and he tasted just as good as he did in his dreams. Better even.
What they didn't notice through their passion, were the fireworks they themselves were emitting. Lighting up the dark sky with every color imaginable and filling the air with thunderous bangs.
They may not have noticed, but the rest of the castle did, and when they went outside to have a look, the sparkling lights in the sky fell upon them before each and every member of the cursed castle changed back into their normal human selves. Each servant gazing upon each other in shock and joy as the full impact of what had just happened hit them.
They were human again. Each and every one of them.
Yamcha, Chi-Chi and Piccolo were all quick to run out into the sparkling rain near their master. And Trunks and Gohan had broken their lips apart just in time to watch them change.
Yamcha turned into a tall man with hair as black as Gohan's, and wearing servants clothes.
Chi-Chi changed into a short lady with a thin frame and equally black hair tied in a bun.
Trunks was shocked to watch Piccolo change into a tall green monster with antenna's!
"Oh no, Piccolo!" He cried. "It didn't work!"
Piccolo only smirked at him, a look that made him seem surprisingly evil looking. And Gohan wrapped his arms around the teens shoulders. "Actually, love, he always looked like that." He explained calmly, kissing his neck.
Trunks blushed a deep red in embarrassment. "Oh, sorry about that Piccolo." He said sheepishly.
The green man only shrugged. "Doesn't matter to me, kid," He said, accepting the apology easily enough. In his opinion, being green was a helluva lot better than spending the rest of his life as that damn clock anyway.
Yamcha and Chi-Chi were still examining their human hands when Goten hopped out with them, calling for his mother when he suddenly changed from the chipped little cup into a small boy with hair that spiked out on all sides.
He blinked a bit, looking himself over before looking up at his human mother, obviously not having expected that.
"Cool!!" He cried out just as Chi-Chi bent down to pick him up. Smiling brightly at her human son.
And Gohan joyously laughed out loud, mimicking the former teapot as he grabbed Trunks by the waist and lifted him into the air with renewed strength.
They were all human again, and it was all because of him! Because Trunks loved him!!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Less than two weeks later, the celebration was held in the ballroom that Trunks and Gohan had danced in when he was still the Beast. And everyone was invited to attend, even the people from Trunks' village.
Gohan decided not to hold anything against them for their actions. Having been manipulated into attacking his castle by a man claiming he would take their children, he could understand why they would do such a thing.
And even then, he was still in too much of a good mood over being changed back into a human to want to hold any grudges anyway. Dancing with your love, romantic music playing all around you to enjoy it all more could do that to you.
Looking down into his magnificent blue eyes, he was still having trouble believing that he actually got him to fall in love with him. Even after all he put him through, Trunks loved him.
Trunks couldn't help but blush under his fiance's almost hungry gaze, knowing perfectly well what was on his mind and whether or not he would be able to survive it this time.
The last time they were together, Gohan had made him scream so loud that he knew the entire castle had heard it. The smirks of amusement on the faces of every servant he passed for at least a week afterwards was enough of a give-a-way. And while it was extremely embarrassing it also felt extremely good, and he actually couldn't wait to do it again.
Looking to his side, he caught a glimpse of his father, leaning against a marble pillar and smirking at them in approval. Trunks smiled back at him as he was led around the dance floor, very much liking how his father had no objections to their upcoming wedding. Because that would just be too awful if he didn't approve.
Coming all that way just to be told you couldn't marry the one you love, was an awful thought.
Leaning up, Trunks gave Gohan the deepest kiss he could, not caring about being polite with the people that were around watching.
Pulling away, he sighed happily before leaning against his chest, and loving how they both fit so perfectly together. "I can't wait until we get married." He mused dreamily.
Gohan gave him a squeeze of amusement, leaning into his ear. "But until then we can still have as many wedding nights as we want." He whispered seductively, enjoying the shiver that ran up his spine.
"You're insatiable." Trunks chuckled. And Gohan squeezed him again.
"Whatever, I know you love it."
Trunks smiled up at him. "And I love you more." He said with a small grin.
And Gohan smiled back at him, kissing him again as he led him around the ballroom. Ignoring the sound of Piccolo fighting with Yamcha and listening in amusement as Goten asked his mother if he would still be sleeping in the cupboard.
Because for them, at that very moment, everything was perfect. And it would stay that way throughout the rest of their lives.
The End
Kind of a bad ending, i know, but I couldn't think of anything else to add in there other than what the movie put. And as for Trunks thinking about how if his father didn't aprove then he wouldn't be able to get married, well that's just how it was back then. If daddy said no, then it was no. Kinda sucks, but that was how it was.
Anyway, I'm finally done! Wow, i think i started this up about six months ago, pretty bad, but at least It's finished!
Review please!
