Love from the Future – Chapter 15

Trunks pushed open the door to Marron's room, without knocking. Bra and Marron looked up, both surprised to see him. Bra was the first to react, anger quickly replacing the look of shock on her face. Marron continued to gaze at him in incredulity, eyes reddened from crying.

"Trunks, what the hell do you want?" Bra cried out, voice reflecting rage. Her eyes flashed dangerously, looking just like his mum, when she was angry. He ignored her, turning to face Marron.

"Marron, I'm really sorry for everything. I'm not going to ask you for forgiveness, because I know I don't deserve it. I was being a complete jerk to you. You didn't deserve any of it. What happened earlier, it was my fault entirely. Pan had nothing to do with it. She didn't even know it was me…" He paused, when Marron looked away. He could see it in her eyes, just before she'd turned away. She didn't believe him. She evidently thought Pan was at fault.

"Marron, look at me. Do you honestly think Pan is capable of betraying you like that?" She continued to avoid looking at him, making him angry. He looked towards Bra, who still looked pissed off.

"What about you Bra? Do you think Pan's in the wrong too?" He observed the brief look of uncertainty flash in her eyes before she lowered her eyes.

"I can't believe it... I always thought the three of you were best friends. You should know her better than anyone else. You practically grew up together, for fuck sake. How can you doubt her, of all people?" He shook his head in disgust.

"You're obviously going to defend her, since you're so madly in love with her!" Marron cried out suddenly, her blue eyes flashing in rage. He sighed exasperatedly.

"I'm not defending her and you know it. I'm stating the truth. This has nothing to do with the fact that I love her." Marron's eyes narrowed at his words. It was the first time he'd admitted out loud, that he was in love with Pan. Even Bra looked taken back. He ran his fingers through his lavender looks, in stress. He couldn't believe it'd even come to this.

On his way here, he'd thought that after hearing what he'd to say, they would forgive Pan. After all, they were her best friends. He'd never imagined that they wouldn't believe him, that they wouldn't have the slightest trust in Pan.

"You know what, forget it. I've said what I had to say. I leave the rest for you to decide. If you honestly think that one incident was enough to damage your friendship with Pan, then go for it. I won't stop you." He turned away and left, slamming the door shut behind him…

Pan stood facing M. Trunks, unable to think of what to say. It seemed he was having the same difficulty, judging from the doubt in his eyes. Her eyes widened suddenly, seeing the redness in them. He'd been crying… Her eyes softened instantly, as she moved forward.

"I'm sorry…" They said, at the same time. Pan laughed quietly, as he smiled. They moved together, reaching each other at the same time.

"I'm so, so sorry Pan. I never should've doubted you…" He stopped, when he felt her finger on his lips. Pan gazed back at him, eyes filling with tears.

"I'm the one, who should say sorry…" She began, but stopped, when he gripped her face with his palms. One hand moved upwards, to gently wipe away the fallen tears from both eyes. Then he leant forward, to kiss her on the forehead.

"Let's just forget what happened. I love you Pan, with all my heart. You mean everything to me. I can't bear to even think of life without you. I promise, from here on, to always keep you happy, to never doubt you again, and to love you for the rest of my life." A smile appeared on her face, hearing his words.

"I love you too," she replied before moving forward to kiss him. Their lips met, instantly wiping away any lingering doubts and troubled thoughts. In that one moment, she felt lightheaded and genuinely happy. Her arms snaked around his neck, pulling him even closer. She sensed his arms wrap around her waist, making her smile. He chuckled against her lips, and held her close. They floated in the air, with their arms around each other…

Bra sat unmoving on Marron's bed, lost in thought. After hearing Trunk's words, guilt had hit her from all sides. Memories of their childhood, their teenage years, all the way to the present, flashed one after another in her head. The three of them, inseparable, had vowed to always be friends together, never letting anything get between them. How could they've forgotten those promises? How could they let a boy, even if it was her brother, destroy the friendship they'd cherished so much.

"Marron, do you remember the promise we made to each other?" she asked softly. There was silence, as she waited for Marron to speak. When the seconds had turned into minutes, and she still hadn't heard a reply, she turned to face her. Marron looked lost in thought, eyes welling up slightly. A pained expression graced her features. Eventually, after some time, she finally turned her head to face her.

"I remember…" she said quietly. Bra smiled sadly, moving forward to place an arm around her friend's shoulders.

"I think we both broke that promise." Marron leant into her, starting to sob quietly.

"I don't know what to do Bra… I want to forgive her, but I can't... It's killing me. She's my best friend. I know, deep down, she'd never do anything to hurt me. I just can't bring myself to let this go…" She broke off, breaking down completely. Bra held her, gently rubbing her back, as she released all the anguish inside her.

"It's okay Marron. Let it all out." She continued to comfort her, until she'd finally quietened down. There was silence for a long time.

"What have I done?" Bra heard her say, snapping out of her thoughts. She pulled back, to see the guilt clearly showing on Marron's face.

"Let's go find her, shall we?" Bra announced, with a smile on her face. Marron nodded, wiping her eyes quickly…

Pan sat with M. Trunks, on the edge of a cliff. Both were silent, quietly enjoying each other's company. Even though they'd sorted out their differences, she was still troubled. It didn't show on her face though, as she didn't want to ruin the moment. It'd been there all along, distantly haunting her thoughts. Bra and Marron… They'd broken the promise they'd made to her.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She snapped out of her thoughts, looking enquiringly at M. Trunks, who was staring back at her.

"Talk about what?" she asked, confused.

"About what's bothering you…?" She continued to feign that nothing was wrong, but soon succumbed. She blamed his eyes, which were a bit too vigilant for her liking. She sighed resignedly, letting the mask drop. His hand tightened around her shoulder, pulling her close. The tenseness in her body faded instantly, as she relaxed against him.

"It's Bra and Marron. I can't believe they doubted me… I always thought they knew me so well, but I was wrong. One misunderstanding was enough to break us apart…" She stopped, not knowing what else to say. What more could she say anyway? It wasn't like they'd magically appear in front of her, demanding to be forgiven.

"Give them some time. I'm sure they'll realise soon enough," he consoled her calmly. She shook her head sadly.

"I doubt it's ever going to happen."

"You're wrong," a familiar voice spoke up from behind them. They looked back, only to see Trunks landing, with Marron and Bra. Pan's eyes widened, seeing the girls. She stood up quickly, M. Trunks getting up with her. Marron and Bra looked guilty, as they gazed back at her. Well, to be more precise, they were looking at her, but avoiding eye contact. Bra stepped forward first.

"Pan…I'm really sorry for doubting you. I don't know what I was thinking… I hope you can forgive me." Pan stared back at her, completely astounded. What the hell was going on here? Marron sighed and took a step forward next. Pan looked towards her, as she finally met her eyes.

"I'm sorry too… I was wrong for doubting you. I should've realised my best friend would never do anything to hurt me. I hope you can forgive me for being a complete bitch." Pan looked from one to the other, not believing her eyes. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to look at M. Trunks, who gave her an encouraging smile. She swallowed painfully, shifting to face her friends. Looking into their eyes, she could tell they were being sincere.

A smile broke out on her face, as she rushed forward to hug them both. All three girls clung to one another, a heavy burden lifting from their shoulders…

Trunks looked on as the girls made up, a relieved smile gracing his face. He looked towards M. Trunks, who had a similar look of relief on his face.

"Okay girls, now that you've kissed and made up, can we call it a night. I'm almost dead on my feet." Three pair of eyes glared back at him, as he held his hands up defensively.

"What? I'm being serious. I'm ready to pass out." Pan rolled her eyes, turning to face the other two. He still couldn't believe it, when Marron and Bra came rushing towards him, looking frantic. He'd been in the kitchen at the time, looking for the bottle of whiskey he'd hidden from Goten.

"We need to find Pan, right now!" Bra had cried out, surprising him. His mouth had dropped open in revelation, wondering if he was hearing things. It took a smack to his head from Bra, to ensure him he wasn't. Without wasting another second, he traced Pan's ki signature, pin-pointing her exact location. Then they'd quickly made their way towards her.

It'd been weird, holding Marron, as they flew over here. She'd been blatantly uncomfortable throughout the short trip. It was like being close to a stranger, as much as he hated to admit it. He could only hope time would heal the wounds he'd inflicted on her. Maybe someday they could even be friends…

Pan flew back to the house with the others, feeling totally at peace. Everything had worked out in the end. All the misunderstandings had been cleared. She looked to the left where Trunks carried Bra and to the right, where M. Trunks held Marron. It felt great to see them all together once more. Though it'd take some time, she was positive that, one day, the issues between Trunks and Marron would be sorted out as well. At least they hadn't let that come in the way, when they came to reconcile with her. It was definitely a start.

They landed outside the house, each heading inside. Sounds of loud snores were coming from Goten, who lay passed out on the ground, completely oblivious to what'd happened. She watched in amusement, as Bra leant down, trying to wake him up. In the end, it took a kick in the rear from Trunks to do the trick. Goten landed heavily on the ground, a couple of metres away from his original spot. He sat up, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"Man, I had the strangest dream. It felt like someone kicked me in the rear or something… Hey wait a minute, why the hell is it hurting?" Everyone burst out laughing, as Goten blinked in confusion.

"It wasn't a dream, you idiot! I really did kick you in the rear!" Trunks informed him with a smirk. Goten's face shifted, his dark eyes hardening.

"You are so dead man!" he replied, moving towards him. Trunks transformed into a Super Saiyan, taking off into the night sky. Goten followed suit, as the game of cat and mouse began. Pan shook her head, turning to face M. Trunks.

"Shall we?" she gestured towards the house. He nodded, as they headed inside together.

"Hey Pan?" She turned back to look at Bra, who had a mischievous look in her eyes.

"Have fun…" Bra winked, making her blush. She heard a chuckle close by, turning her head back to glare at M. Trunks.

"Come on, let's go." She allowed herself to be led away, shooting daggers at Bra, who was giving rude gestures in return. In no time, they arrived in his room, locking the door behind him. Seconds later, she felt herself pushed up against the wall. She stared back at M. Trunks, whose face was inches away from hers. Hot desire sparkled in his eyes.

"I really think we should finish what we started that night, wouldn't you agree?" He whispered seductively into her ear. She shivered in delight, a smile playing on her lips.

"Oh, what would that be?" He chuckled, at her teasing tone.

"How about I just demonstrate? Saves me explaining anything…" Before she could even blink, she felt his lips crush against hers. Her mouth opened in surprise, which he took advantage of. His tongue slowly entered her mouth and began exploring tentatively. Her arms clasped around his neck automatically, as she closed her eyes, welcoming the pleasant sensations. His body had moulded to hers, and her hips unconsciously bucked upwards, which caused a low moan to erupt from his throat. Somehow, she managed to wrap her legs around his hips.

He broke off the kiss, as he gazed back at her, with half opened eyelids. She felt her heart flutter at how hot he looked. Even though she was dying to feel his gorgeous lips on hers again, she waited to see what he'd do next, as she struggled to calm her racing heart. Feeling his hot breath on her, wasn't helping in the least. It only made it harder to control herself.

She was barely aware of being carried towards the bed, where he lay her down gently, as she was too busy gazing into his piercing eyes. She sat up on her elbows, looking expectedly at him.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" she commented mischievously. He smirked and began removing his top. She observed in silence, letting her eyes wonder appreciatively over his fit body. After stripping down to his boxers, he climbed on to the bed. Straddling her, he leant forward to kiss her. She welcomed the kiss, eager to feel his lips on her own. Deciding to tease him a little, she caught his bottom lip and began to tenderly suck on it. Another low groan erupted from him, as he surged his hips forward, rubbing his growing erection against her.

What started off gentle soon became a full on, passionate kiss. Her fingers ran through his shoulder length, lavender locks, pulling him even closer. She couldn't recall a time when kissing had made her feel this way. It was simply mind-blowing.

She was vaguely aware of hands tugging at her clothes. Eager to get them off, she began helping him. Soon enough, both of them were lying on the bed in their undergarments.

Pushing her back down gently, he began kissing her neck passionately.

"Pan…" He breathed onto her neck, making her shiver. Her eyes opened somewhat, hearing his voice rasped with need. Her name had never sounded so delicious, than when spoken with his deep, husky baritones. He unclasped her bra and pulled it off. The skin to skin contact made her hiss with pleasure.

"You're so soft," he murmured into her chest, while working at removing her panties. His rough hands drifted over her thighs and stomach, coming to rest on her right breast. The other hand worked on removing his boxers. Once they were both naked, he positioned himself at her entrance. He entered her slowly, as she clung onto him, her nails digging into his back. She held back the scream of pleasure, mixed with pain.

He placed hot, fevered kisses on her neck and jaw, as he used his free hand to explore her naked frame. He was moving into her with slow, deep motions, each thrust leaving her breathless. The pace began to pick up and she found herself unable to think about anything beside the soaring heat, he was pounding into her.

Her eyes opened somewhat, only to see his face twisted in pleasure. Sweat plastered his hair to his forehead, as he bit down on his bottom lip. He looked beyond handsome. Eventually she felt it, she was so close. When she came, she saw stars. She could feel his muscles twitching wildly against her. He moaned her name before she felt him hit his release. He collapsed on top of her, as they lay still, out of breath. He looked up, only to kiss her gently. She smiled into the kiss, her eyes drifting close.

"I love you Pan."

"I love you too…"
