Dragonball: Unforgotten
Chapter Eight
Goku passed around the small capsule house multiple times. He really wanted to go in and sleep but everytime he went in, one of the local girls started to push him back out! They told him that he couldn't go in there because you were in there. That wasn't fair!
And it was too cold to sleep outside. He tried. But he just could sleep in the snow like he could on some warm grass no matter how hard he tried. And he was tired and hungry!
They wouldn't even let him in so he could eat! Girls could be so mean!
"Goku, why are you pacing? I thought you were out having fun?"
He knew you were in pain. He saw you rubbing your body a lot. Especially your ribs. Like your heart was beating you black and blue from the inside. He tried to tell you that rubbing bruises didn't help but you told him you weren't bruised, that it just felt like everything was sore. That's why he didn't just ask you to switch with him.
"Naw, That was hours ago. I'm hungry and tired and the other girls wouldn't let me in."
He was whining and rubbing his arms to get warm. The wind blew goosebumps onto his skin, causing him to yelp quietly. You frowned and moved so that he could get in through the door. Which he did in such a hurry it was almost comical.
"How long have you been out there?"
"I don't know, the sun was still up?"
It had been dark for a while. You frowned as you looked at him. He looked really cold. Had he seriously been out in the snow for that long? And in just his normal Gi no less.
"Get out, you shouldn't be in here," one of the younger woman said from her spot at the table.
From what Goku could see, she was idly stirring some soup. Almost like she didn't plan to eat it. His better sense got a hold of him at the yummy smells. He hurried over to the big pot you'd made even as one of the old women scolded him and demanded that he get out.
You frowned from the closed door as you watched what was happening. You knew that the village that you were taking shelter in during the storm was conservative but damn. You started to understand why Goku had been so cold and hungry. The gaggle of curious females you'd let into the small dome to look around while you were sleeping (not that they'd given you much choice...damn social pressure) had obviously been bullying him to stay out. And Goku was too nice to argue with his elders. Which most of the other women currently in the small capsule home were.
"Out!" The old woman barked as she hit him with the plastic stirring spoon.
Okay. Nope. Not okay.
"Hey! Stop! That's not okay!"
As you spoke you moved over to the whole mess. Goku cringed away from the old woman. Not out of pain or anything. More like a social fear if you had to guess. Especially with the way that he hid behind you when the old woman raised the spoon like a weapon again. He peaked over your shoulder in a childlike innocence despite the fact that he was clearly larger than you.
"Don't hit him! He's just cold and hungry!"
"He shouldn't be in here!" The old woman snapped.
"He has every right to be in here. This is his home too," you defended him.
You felt, more than saw, Goku nodding his head from behind you. Your statement and his agreement apparently didn't sit well with the village women. You could tell by the way that they all looked back and forth between one another. Like you had just said something so offensive they weren't even allowed to talk about it.
"It's against the rules for unmarried men and women to be in the same room together."
The eldest was very adamant on that. And wow...you understood that every culture had their own rules but they were prepared to let him freeze and starve because of it? That was a little messed up.
"He should go to his own room," the bravest, younger (still older than you) village woman spoke up.
"This is his room. This is my room. We only have the one," you said in a bit of an agitated voice. "Look - if it wasn't freezing out there, I wouldn't have a problem going out so he can use it to sleep. But I don't want to die. Thank you very much."
"A good young man would never make a woman leave her room," the older one said with a great amount of scorn and judgement.
Which you kinda, sorta understood. It was just that you were more concerned about Goku than anything. Especially when his stomach let out a mighty roar.
"So then what? He goes out there and freezes to death? How is that fair?"
They were quiet for a moment until the middle aged woman from earlier spoke up. From her expression and tone you knew she believed it was a solution. And because you were tired and sore, you wanted to believe that it would end all the arguing. Not to mention the occupation of your house.
"He could stay with my sons," the woman offered.
"...fine, sure, whatever. You okay with that Goku?"
"Can I take the soup?"
"Yeah, go ahead and take all of it. I know you're hungry."
Goku nodded and smiled sheepishly as he stepped back away from you. He put his hand to his stomach which tossed and turned painfully underneath his clothes.
"You're the best!...do we have any bread?"
You shrugged and moved over to see if you could help fulfill his request. On the way you grabbed a ladle. You figured that would be a big enough spoon for the hungry man. And as luck would have it, there was a large loaf hidden behind a box of cereal. It was a bit hard but you figured Goku probably wouldn't mind. Besides the soup would soften it up. Once the lid was on the large pot and the bread and ladle set on top of it you motioned for Goku to get it.
Soon enough the situation was sorted out. Or so you thought.
______________________________
You jumped in fear and surprise when you felt the bed move. It wasn't that big of an area so whatever had touched the mattress was really close. On instinct you lashed out without a sound. You felt you leg make contact as did your elbow. The thing creeping into your bed fell back to the floor with a grunt of pain.
"Ow! That hurt!"
"Goku?!" You hissed our in surprise.
You turned on the small reading light in the bed nook. It provided an ample amount to see Goku rubbing at his chest. Much like you had been doing for the last few days. If you weren't mistaken his eyes were watering up from pain. And considering the way he was standing you could probably guess why. You definitely hit him below the belt.
"What are you doing in here?" You asked in a hushed voice.
If one of those village women found out, there would probably be hell to pay. You could already imagine the telling offs you and he would get after earlier.
"I'm tired," he complained.
"Why aren't you with the guys?"
"Their room smelled weird," he offered as an explanation. "And they're loud. They all snore weird."
What happened to the man who could fall asleep in the back of a moving van? That had just been last week badger the lake side moment.
"Seriously?"
"Come on, scoot over," Goku insisted as he started to lift the cover.
"Why don't you use the couch?"
It's were he'd been sleeping for most of the time you and he were in the capsule house anyways. It was only like three feet away maybe but it definitely felt like the better option considering the circumstances.
"I'm cold and I left the other blankets over there."
Smart. You were too tired to call him out on how dumb that was. Instead you just scooted closer to the wall so he could crawl into the folding bed with you. You heard him let out a deep breath as his body finally relaxed. He didn't make a move until he was sure you were asleep. It took a while and you seemed to be a bit restless both mentally and physically but it eventually happened. Only then did he inch closer to the body heat you put out. Goku pressed his face into some of your hair as he started to go to sleep.
This was so much better than that smelly hut.
