You couldn't help but feel bad about how your first date with Gohan was going. You didn't think you two would be at your place, watching movies and eating takeout but... Gohan didn't seem to mind at all. Mainly because he was being fed. You thought you two would be out and about by now, playing fair games, maybe going on a few rides and maybe Gohan would win you a prize. You wanted to go because you hoped everything would become romantic at a point. You couldn't help but feel disappointed and pout because you were really looking forward to having a fun and romantic night, finally, with Gohan. 

But, you ended up having an emotional spell that basically left you motionless.

It was actually a good thing that Gohan called. It would have taken you a lot longer to become mobile again if he hadn't. You would have those sorts of moments sometimes. When your body recognizes that you're back in a similar situation where you've been wronged and your body can't help but become motionless. You become so enveloped in self-doubt that it begins to feel almost impossible to do anything. You didn't want Gohan to be affected by any of your mental health issues but at the same time, you felt that maybe this could help make you stronger. Maybe being with Gohan, considering how kind he is, can help you learn how to manage everything more and learn how to live with it all better.

"Hey, are you okay? You seem to be spacing out."

"Oh! Yeah. I was spacing out a bit. I was thinking."

"Wanna share?"

"You wanna listen?"

"Of course. This is still our date. I know it's not what we originally planned but I'm here with you to get to know you better. Tell me what's up."

"I was thinking about earlier and how it was a good thing that you called."

Gohan paused the movie so that he would listen to you better along with not missing much of the movie.

"I was also thinking how if you hadn't, I probably would have had a hard time."

"What exactly happened earlier?"

"I started not feeling well after seeing myself in the mirror and thinking about my past experiences with the men I mentioned to you before."

"Were they that bad with you?"

"Not entirely but bad enough to leave something of an emotional scare. I even see the psychology majors at school from time to time. The student I see is great and she's helped me such a great deal with getting over a lot of these past experiences. But, I do still have my moments where I get stuck and I can't help but feel like things are just going to turn out bad again for me. It gets really scary sometimes."

"I understand about things getting scary. When I was younger, I was in these situations that I never thought I would be in. I remember feeling so scared of all the time."

"Really Gohan?"

"Yeah. I would be terrified. But, I imagined myself being even more terrified if I didn't do my absolute best to conquer those fears. But with you, things are a little bit. You are dealing with some mental issues I don't know much about yet but I'm here anytime you need something. You need me to take you somewhere, if you just need company, I can do all of that for you. I don't want you to feel like a burden just because you have some bad days here and there."

"You mean that Gohan?"

"Of course. It's okay to have off days sometimes."

"....you're so kind to me Gohan."

"Isn't that normal?"

"Not for me."

"I see. Well, I hope it doesn't make you too uncomfortable."

"I'm just not used to it is all. It doesn't make me uncomfortable. Your kindness feels soothing to me sometimes."

"I'm glad to hear that." He said to me as he fed me a piece of chicken.

"Would you like some rice?"

"Yes please," You replied softly as Gohan went and scooped up some rice to feed to you. It was really helping. You still had this lingering sad feeling because of you not being able to go to the fair but being like this with Gohan also felt nice. It was very intimate and you two were learning so much about each other. 

"Can I get another piece of chicken?"

"Absolutely!" He flashed me this grin that he does when he's in a really great mood. You remembered the first time you saw this smile. You practically melted. He stuck his fork in one of the pieces of chicken and came back to you to slowly feed you. You thanked him as you slowly chewed your food. He leaned over to get the remote.

"Ready to keep watching?"

"I am." You said with a big smile. It felt natural. Gohan unpaused the movie. You two decided to watch a scary one. You both thought it would be funny but it was actually turning out to be a bit scarier than you both originally thought. You were in the middle of the movie and the lady was wandering the halls of her home alone, in the dark, which of course, is never a good thing. The rest of her family members were missing and she was trying to find them. She had nothing but a flashlight as she wandered the halls. She saw the steps that would take her to the first floor of her home since she finished scouting the second floor. She walked so slowly that it was giving you the chills.

You huddled close into Gohan's arms as you had moments of closing your eyes because you were beginning to feel afraid of what would happen to this lady. You opened your eyes again and you saw that now the lady is in her dining room. Her curtains suddenly moved on their own and she got startled by them. You jumped a little as Gohan remained unfazed. 

"That didn't startle you?"

"Nope. It's just fabric moving." You didn't think of it that way at the moment the lady in the movie got a little scared.

"That's true." You responded as you continued to watch the movie with a different point of view. But those lenses switched right back to fright as the demon suddenly appeared where the flashlight was shining. You yelped a little as Gohan put his arm around you. You were surprised at how warm it felt to be under his arm.

"Better?"

"Much better." You told him as you snuggled into his chest. You felt his muscles and they were so defined and firm. You wondered for a moment how strong Gohan really is. You wondered if Gohan has ever fought someone before and if he won. Well, considering how strong he looks, most likely he did win or at least, you'd like to think so.

You tried hiding in Gohan's chest as the demon started chasing the lady around her home. The lady was screaming for dear life as she bumped into a lifeless looking body; it was her son. She shrieked at the sight of her dead son. Then she saw her other family members unconscious. The demon stood before her and before the lady could do anything, the demon entered her body and the movie rolled the credits.

You and Gohan groaned in disappointment.

"That movie was terrible!"You shouted.

"It was! There were so many questions left unanswered!"

"I know! But. It feels so bad that it was kind of good. Get what I mean?"

"I get you," Gohan said as he chuckled a little.

"I'm glad you kind of liked the movie." You said to him in a soft voice.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it a bit. It seemed to have put you in a better mood." He said smiling at you. Then you noticed that he was starting to lean in closer towards your face. You were a little surprised at the gesture because if he was trying to do with you think he was trying to do, you couldn't help but to feel bashful.

"I wanted to ask, um...can I...kiss...you?" His face was so red! But, he sounded so sweet when he asked. How can you say no to him? He has been nothing but kind to you. He didn't hesitate to change plans with you when he knew you weren't feeling well and showed up to your doorstep as soon as he could. Thinking about how great he has been so far, you smiled at his question.

"I thought you'd never asked."
