* Insert famous disclaimer here* Just Breathe: 07 He should really go in there and help shouldn’t he? It wasn’t his fault that she went into the wrong room. Trunks found him leaning against the doorframe looking in but not moving any further in. Unsurprisingly, he found Usagi sprawled on the floor attempting to get up. “Trunks-baka!!! Why do I feel so heavy!? And why didn’t you try to stop me!? “ screamed Usagi. “ I tried to warn you. I yelled Usagi NO! That’s the- but you already went in.” he smugly replied. “Wow, that helped me so much!” Usagi interrupted with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. “The reason why you feel heavy is because you’re in the Gravity Chamber. It’s where my father, friends and I train.” Trunks had now stepped in the gravity room easily walking through and crouched down besides Usagi. “ Can you get up?” He asked. ‘ Let’s see how strong you are’ " I guess...you'll have to wait though and if I do, you‘ll have to sleep on the floor." Now came the long process of Usagi getting up. First, she moved her arm and placed her hand, palm down, on the floor and did the same with the other one. Bit by bit she pushed herself up. She gradually got on all fours, then on to her knees and finally managed to stand on her own two feet. Trunks couldn't believe his eyes!!! Here was a girl, with a lower power level than he had, standing up in the heaviest gravity on Earth!! ' What is the gravity machine on anyway?' thought Trunks. He left Usagi's side and walked over towards the machine peering at the small screen that displayed the level of gravity. You could hear the thud of his jaw hitting the ground. ' SHE CAN STAND IN 100x GRAVITY??!!!?!?!!?! UNBELIEVABLE!!!' He whirled around to face Usagi who was now moving around and dusting herself off as if the excess gravity was nothing. Trunks' tongue joined his jaw on the floor. Usagi finished dusting herself off and turned to look at Trunks who was staring at her as if she was she was some sort of omnipotent goddess. ' I wonder if he knows that I am a goddess? After all I am the daughter of Queen Serenity, Goddess of the Moon.' Usagi walked over to Trunks and attempted to gain his attention or ,at least, bring him back to reality. " Hello? Trunks? Are you ok?" she asked as she waved her hand in front of his face, "Helloooooooo? Trunks!!!!! Speak to me!!!!!" But still Trunks remained in his shocked, dream-like state. ' There's only one thing left to do......' “Well then, since you’re not here...I guess I get the bed!” Usagi commented walking to the door. “Ok, I’m leaving...” Usagi called out looking back to give him a chance to stop her. “Trunks...hello?? I-am-going-to-get-the-bed...” She spoke her words clear and precise but Trunks didn’t move. “Ok, you-are-going-to-have-to-sleep-on-the-floor-now...TRUNKS!” Usagi screamed halfway out the door. “Alright, since you insist...I’ll sleep on the bed.” Usagi called back walking out. She walked to the room and had a change of thought and turn around and went back. “Are you still standing there? Come on! I told you I-am-going-to-get-the-bed...” Usagi told him popping her head back inside the room. She walked into the room and walked around Trunks who was still in shock. She checked him out, up and down and glancing around the room...she spotted the machine in front of Trunks...’Hmm...I wonder if...’ she thought to herself as an evil grin appeared on her face. Not knowing what the machine was for, Usagi walked over and started to play with the buttons. A big red button caught her eye as she looked down at the control panel. “My conscious tells me not to push the button...but my curiosity tells me to push it...hmm...which one do I always trust? Curiosity!” with that Usagi reached out her hand and pressed the large red button. Loud alarms went off and the screen flashed ‘Warning: Gravity Level has dropped’ Bringing a hand to her mouth, Usagi felt guilty for pushing the button, ”Uh-oh...I think I shouldn’t have pushed that button.” Glancing around the room for a split second and hearing a loud thud, Usagi dashed out of the gravity room to the kitchen where Bulma was preparing dinner. Rubbing his head, Trunks stood up not exactly sure of what had just happened. “Hey...wasn’t Usagi here a minute ago? Why do I feel so light all of a sudden? And why am I on the floor?” Getting up and wondering why the alarms were going off, Trunks walked to the machine and looked up at the screen. “What?! Normal times gravity?! How did that happen?!...USAGI!!!!” Trunks hollered figuring out what had happened and who was responsible for it to happen. A puzzled look came across Bulma’s face as Usagi cringed as her name was being hollered out from down the hall. She thought quickly realizing that the person who was calling her would come down to confront her on what she had done. “So...Bulma-san, um...is there anything you need help with? Like...chopping carrots, shredding cheese, and boiling water? Or...I know, are you out of sugar? I can run over to Chi Chi-san’s house and borrow a cup of sugar.” Grabbing the measuring cup lying on the table, Usagi opened the door but froze in her tracks as she heard her name being called by a familiar voice. “Usagi...” Biting her thumbnail, she innocently turned around, “Hmm?” Still holding the measuring cup in her other hand she stepped towards the door once again noticing that the door was slightly ajar. She slid her foot in between the gap and pried it open still focusing on Trunks. “What did you do this time Trunks?” she managed through her smile, opening the door wider with her foot. “What do you mean what did I do this time?” Trunks asked her slightly confused stepping closer to her. “I mean, you came down here for a reason and you called my name...” Usagi told him while stepping out the door. “Yeah, I wanted to ask you if-” he was interrupted by... ”Well...save that thought, I have to go to Chi Chi-san’s to get sugar for Bulma-san.” was all he heard before the door slammed shut. Standing there with his pointer finger in the air, he heard Bulma comment, “There’s still sugar in the cupboard.” “Whew! That was close.” Usagi told herself as she walked down the path, she looked down at the measuring cup she was still holding in her hand. “I might as well go get sugar...” While she was walking she felt a hand pressuring on her shoulder. Startled, first her reaction was a scream and then taking any object to use as a weapon which happened to be the measuring cup in her hand. She turned swinging the small measuring cup at her attacker. Her swing was interrupted as her attacker grabbed her hand that held the deadly weapon. “Usagi, it’s only me...why did you try to hurt me with your measuring cup?” Trunks asked still holding her hand that held the measuring cup. “I was uh...uh...practicing my new...uh...Sailor attack technique, yeah there you go...that’s it!” “Oh...I fear the wrath of the mighty measuring cup.” Trunks pretending to cower down in fright. “Yeah, feel the wrath of the mighty measuring cup!” taking the cup and swirling it around in the air with quick hand movements in front of his face. Too much to bear at their running joke they busted out laughing. Taking a break from the hysterical laughter, Usagi sat down on the grass being joined by Trunks. Soon silence filled the air. “So...about what I was trying to tell you earlier before you left...did you happen to push a BIG RED BUTTON that said DO NOT push?” Trunks emphasizing the main key words. “Me? No way! I wouldn’t do anything like that.” Usagi told him innocently trying to cover up her blunder. “Are you sure? Because the cameras can catch anything that happens in there and you know you wouldn’t want to be caught lying on camera would you?” he asked raising an eyebrow at her. Through her silence she turned a bright red at the thought of being caught. “Fine! I did press the BIG RED BUTTON...but...but...it didn’t say DO NOT push it said DON’T push.” she explained her reasoning to him. “What’s the difference?” “Can’t you see I’m trying to lie my way out of the lie that I gave you?” Soon silence consumed the area they were sitting at... way too quiet for Usagi to take, “Are you mad at me?” Usagi questioned quietly to Trunks. Blowing the bangs out of his face, “no, not really, I just wanted to see what you would do if I told you we had cameras in there.” “You mean I could have gotten away with this?” she asked surprised at what she was hearing. “Yeah, basically.” “So you lied to me when I lied to you?” “Yeah, we kind of canceled each other’s lies out.” “Man!” she sighed out while laying down on the grass with her arms behind her head. “Come one let’s go home, I’m hungry aren’t you?” In response Usagi’s stomach growls. “Hai!” Getting up and stepping in front of Usagi, he stretches out his hand offering it to her. She grabs it, and they walk home not realizing that they were still holding each other’s hands. Walking up the steps and stepping inside the house Trunks and Usagi were greeted by Bulma who was standing there waiting for them to arrive. “So where’s the sugar?” Bulma asked to see if Usagi had actually gotten it. “Oh no! I forgot about it Bulma-san!” Usagi cried out totally forgetting about the measuring cup in her hand. “It’s fine, you probably wouldn’t have been able to get it anyways since your hands are occupied!” Bulma commented looking at Trunks and Usagi’s hands. At that very moment both Trunks and Usagi looked down at their hands. They took a quick glance at each other and immediately dropped their hands at the same exact moment. “What do you mean they’re occupied?” Usagi asked looking at both of her hands. She looked up at Trunks who was sheepishly scratching the back of his neck and noticing that the tip of his ears were bright red. “Ok...well....dinner’s ready.” Bulma said walking to the dinner table. Sitting down to a plate full of food, Bulma sat and watched Trunks and Usagi eat. ‘I am so glad that I got my share before they ate it all...I could lose a whole hand in there’ At first when Bulma saw Usagi eat she was shocked, ‘Oh well...I’m used to it.’ shrugging her shoulders in dismissal. Trunks was too busy eating to notice it. After dinner, Bulma decided to go back to her lab and finish fixing the simulators. Trunks and Usagi stayed in the living room for awhile until Usagi yawned and said she was going to bed. Trunks waved it off saying good night and continue to flip through the channels aimlessly. He paused, then threw the remote control down after hastily clicking the TV off and climbed over the couch to his room. He found Usagi sitting on his bed brushing her hair that she took down. He looks intently at her, while leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed. The thought, ’ Beautiful’ ran through his mind as he watched Usagi brush her hair. Smirking, he coughed to let her know that he entered the room. “ What do you think you’re doing Usagi?” “ Brushing my hair...isn’t that obvious?” “ NO.. I know that but.....you know...who gets the...Bed.” “ OHHH!! Well, remember when you asked me if I could get up in the Gravity Chamber and I said that if I could... I get the bed...and I managed to get up.....So I get the bed!!!” Answered the Lunarian princess proudly. “ But I never agreed to that...you just assumed it...therefore...you don’t get the bed!!” “ Hey, that’s not fair!!” They stayed in the Trunks room glaring at each other. Usagi sat on the bed with her legs and arms cross, every once in awhile sticking her tongue at him. Trunks just simply rolled his eyes and tried to think of a way where they both can be happy. Usagi watched Trunks pace around the room and giggled inwardly on how kawaii he looked when he was in deep thought. She sleepily yawned, and looked longingly at the soft pillow, imaging her head resting on it and her whole body relaxing, her breathing pattern becoming slow and steady...just nodding off to a peaceful slumber.... “ Trunks!!! Come on!! I want to go to sleep...Look your kaasan doesn’t have any problem with us being roommates .... and besides we are both mature adults...some more mature than others...but still we’re adults and it‘s only for one NIGHT. Look, we can share the bed...” Usagi suggested. “ Are you sure? Sharing the bed?” Trunks questioned slightly blushing, gesturing to the bed. “ Yeah, I’m sure... I promise that I won’t bite...and if you’re still insecure about this...I can build a pillow wall, dividing the bed...protecting you from... a hand or foot that just happen to stray over to your side of the bed...so come on!!!” Usagi exclaimed, patting the bed down. “ You’re completely sure about this?” “ Yes” “ 100 % sure?” “Yes” “ Positively 100% sure?” “ YES!!! NOW COME TO BED!!” “ Alright just making sure.. that’s all.” “ Whatever!” Fifteen minutes later, both Usagi and Trunks were lying on the bed but not quite asleep...well.. Usagi was nodding off but Trunks kept on asking Usagi if she was still ok with the idea of them sharing the same bed. All he could hear was the muffled voice of her saying uh huh. He couldn’t actually see her face since Usagi asked Bulma for twenty pillows and stacked them up, dividing the bed in half. So all he saw was white pillow fort. Halfway through the night, Usagi broke down the pillow barrier when she rolled over, her leg kicking the pillows down and snuggled closer to Trunks. Trunks half-asleep scooted away until he was on the edge of the bed sleeping soundly. Trunks woke up with the morning sunlight hitting his eyes and a sore neck. He sat upright and stretched, expecting to see the pillow wall but instead he saw the base of the bed and Usagi’s hand hanging off of it. “ What?” He glanced around him and slightly cursed. “ How did I get on the floor?” Trunks asked himself out loud. “ Don’t tell me I fell out of the bed!” “ I think you did Trunks and I was also wondering why the bed felt so light last night!” Usagi peering down answered him, laughing as she spoke. Trunks was going to reply with a smart remark back but the way her sapphire blue orbs radiated with happiness stopped him. He was in some ways falling deep for her eyes...endless sapphire blue eyes. To stop her for thinking he was mental.. he snorted and rub the back of his neck. “ AWWW...poor baby.. does your neck hurt?” Usagi teased. “ As a matter of fact it does.” Usagi face fell and she bit her bottom lip in thought, then grinned. “ Trunks, sit on the bed and with your back turned to me.” “ Why?” he questioned. “ Because....” “ That’s a good reason!” “...........” “Fine... you know this is the second time you demanded me to come to bed with you! and I‘m beginning to think you like telling me that.” Trunks got smacked with a pillow. “ Hentai!” “ I am not...Just telling you the truth.” “ Trunks....” With that he got up and sat on the bed with his back turned to her. He felt the bed shifted as Usagi positioned herself behind him and her fingers trailing his back making his hear rate speed up. He gasped inwardly, as Usagi touched his bare shoulder sending electric pulses through his body and heard her also gasp in surprised. Usagi firmly massage Trunks’ shoulder and neck moving at a steady speed and felt him relax as she continues to rub. She didn’t know what that feeling was when she made skin contact with his shoulder but Usagi didn’t say she hated it either. It was this feeling...of content.. and whatever it was she liked it. Leaning forward.... close enough that her lips were barely touching his touching his ear...she whispered, “ So...does that help?” Trunks nodded and felt the heat rise on his face, ‘ why was he the only one blushing in this situation? Shouldn’t she be somewhat...blushing at least?’ Usagi saw the side of his face slightly tinted red... Yes .. she was definitely going to enjoy this dimension.
