Sometimes Gohan can be such an idiot. It's been a week, since that incident in his kitchen happened.

A whole entire week since you've been ignoring him.

It wasn't like you wanted to, but you just needed to. For your sake. After his comment to Goten, you just have this ugly feeling whenever you see him. You know full well it is,and you hated it for dwelling inside you. You hate the feeling of rejection. So you tried to keep yourself occupied by studying by yourself, or helping out around the house, or at Bulma's.

You ignored every calls from Gohan. Whenever he comes over, you made sure your parents told him that you were sick or wasn't here, even though he could probably sense your Ki. However, he would leave once they told him that. At school it was much harder, considering you have most classes with him. You would sit far away from him as possible, and surround yourself with other people, even though it felt uncomfortable, considering you barely talk to these people. In the hallways, you would run away when you barely spot him. So yes, you were basically avoiding him.

Your parents told you to not be doing that, and just talk to Gohan about this. They believed you two got into an argument, and you were overreacting. You didn't tell them, of course, but you wish you could so they won't think that. If only they know it is not easy to talk to him than they think it is.

How can you? There was no way you would ever tell him that you liked him. You don't even have the courage. Sure you feel bad for doing this to him, but it is the only way that is helping to ease that horrible feeling inside. You hate being in love, especially with a dense idiot.

"An idiot I love too much..." You said to yourself as you flip the page from your book. There was no way these feelings were going to go away so easily. They were too deep. Far too deep. How can you move on from loving someone for years so quickly? How do they make it so easy in movies, and books? "Maybe... Maybe I should try dating someone... It could help..."

There was that option, but can you really see yourself date someone? You weren't the type to date anyone. Of course you have standards that are set, but you have to like someone in order to date them. Otherwise it would be too weird, and awkward for you.

The question is, can you even like someone other than Gohan?

You snap out of your thoughts as you heard your cell phone ringing. You look over to see on the screen to see the phone call was coming from the Capsule Corporation. It seemed odd, considering it was late at night. Unless it is Bulma. She must be calling you about your progress on your assignment. You know she is kind of hoping you would take a job at Capsule Corp to help her, and the company out, but you are not too sure if you are qualified for it. You are nowhere near as a Bulma is on, despite how many times she compliments you.

You grab your phone and answered it. "Sorry Bulma, I'll be done with it by-"

"(Y/n)?"

Your eyes widen in shock. "Gohan?"

It was him.

Did he went over to Bulma's, and begged her to use any of the phones she has? You made sure Bulma wouldn't do that. Did she decided it was time for you two to make up? Did she side with your parents? Was it your parents who convince her to do so? Whatever the reason, you are going to have a long talk with her tomorrow. You trusted her!

You didn't know what to say to Gohan. You were too shock, and felt that ugly feeling start to come back in the pit of your stomach. It was telling you hang up on him. Anything to not hear his voice.

"(Y/n), finally! I've been trying to get a hold of you for awhile now!" He said with nervous laughs, but you could tell from his voice that he was hurt to be avoided by his own best friend. A best friend who happens to be in love with him. "Why have you've been ignoring me? Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry if I did-"

"I-uhh, I gotta go! My mom needs help with-cooking! Yeah,see you!"

"(Y/n)-" You hung up on him, not wasting anymore time talking with him. You felt bad for doing that to him, but what could you expect to do? You weren't exactly passed from what happened. How can you? You finally know that your best friend doesn't feel the same way back.

You press your hands on your face, and took a deep breath. You sat on your bed for a few minutes. If only your parents were here, talking with one of them would help what you're feeling right now. Maybe you should tell them about the 'true' reason you've been avoiding him. "I can't ignore him forever..."

*tap**tap*

You turned, and nearly scream as you jump back on your bed. You stare at Gohan who was floating outside your window. Is he that very determined to find out why you've been ignoring him?

You went over to the window, and opened it. You frown at the half-Saiyan. "Gohan... now isn't a good time... Go home." You told him.

Gohan didn't take that answer, but instead he push himself inside your room. You tried pushing him back out, but he was too strong for you to push away. "No, why are you ignoring me? " He said as he now stood in front of you with a stern expression. You know that look on his face. He isn't going to leave, until he gets his answer.

You would have thought this would happened a few weeks later, but you didn't think it would happen now. You should have know how Gohan is. You couldn't tell him the real reason why. "Just go home. I need to s-study-" You were about to walk away, but he prevented you by grabbing your arm.

"(Y/n), what did I do? Please, tell me."

You tried brushing his hand off of your arm, but he wouldn't budge. "Just l-let go." You tried pulling your arm out of his hold, but you know it was futile. He has super strength due to his heritage he inherit from his father. However, you were stubborn, and kept on struggling. "Gohan, let go of me!"

"No, tell me what I did? Why are you ignoring me?" He asked.

You avoid his questions, and continue to try to break free from his grip. "Let go! Damn it! You know this isn't fair! You're way too strong for me to go against you!" You hit his arm to make him let go, but you are well aware your strength would do no any damage to him. "Let go of me!"

You could feel your heart become more uneasy. You didn't want to feel this feeling. You hated it. He needed to let you go, before you meltdown in front of him. And that was the last thing you ever want to do right now.

"Just go away! Take a hint, and get out!" You shouted at him.

Gohan's face switch to hurt, and it made that feeling inside increase more. You didn't want to see that look on him, despite how much you were in pain from his rejection. "Why are you mad at me? What did I do? Please, tell me. I want us to be friends again-"

Friends...

That's all you two would ever be.

"Go home! And leave me alone!" You shouted.

"(Y/n)-"

"You can be just a huge idiot you know!" You struggle in his grasp, but eventually you couldn't take it any longer. Everything started to come crashing down. You felt your heart feel that uneasy feeling, and you were sure you were going to cry in front of him. You tried to hold back the tears, but it was becoming too much for you. "Gohan, p-please let go-"

You didn't finish what you were saying as he wrap his arms around you, causing your eyes widen in shock. Your body went rigid. You press your hands on his chest, and tried pushing him away, only to have him hold you in place.

"Let go, p-please." You said, hearing your voice crack. You need him to let you go, or you will finally break down in front of him.

"(Y/n), I'm sorry. For whatever I did, I am really sorry. Please, just tell me what I did wrong..." He was fool. A huge fool that you were too in love with. Hearing him say that cause everything came pouring out. You bury your face in his chest, and began to cry in his arms.

You know you shouldn't do this, but you needed the comfort, despite him being the one who was cause of your sadness. You know he didn't felt the same way. Him holding you in his arms like this, makes you almost forget he ever did said that comment a week ago. Your heart eased a bit, and you cannot deny that you felt safe in his arms. You wish you could stay like this forever, but it was futile dream you seek.

After a few minutes, you two pulled apart when you were done crying. The awkward atmosphere set it, and it was causing you wanting to run away again. However, maybe you did overreacted towards him. Maybe, but you cannot deny that you are indeed hurt that he rejected you. Despite that, you still want him to be by your side.

No matter how much you want him to look at you the same way.

You wipe your eyes, and look down towards your feet to avoid his look. "... I-I'm sorry for ignoring you..." You started, because you know he wanted an explanation on why you've been ignoring him for the entire week. You had to come up with a lie to cover the truth. "I... I thought we couldn't be friends anymore, since Goten... said that. I thought it made you not want to be my friend anymore... So I ignored you."

You wanted to slap yourself in the face. That was the stupidest lie you have ever told. Though he did bought it to your surprise.

Gohan smiled lightly, and press his hands on your shoulders to offer you comfort. "(Y/n), we've been friends since we were children. Why would you think that?" Gohan laugh nervously, blushing lightly. "I know Goten's comment was... a surprise, but we would always be friends." His smile widen more into that famous grin you love so much from him. "Don't worry, I don't see you in that way."

He can be such an idiot... but you cannot help to forgive him.

If only he knew...
