To die for
Chapter 5


A/N: So here you have it. The epilogue. I can't believe my little story is over, but fear not! I'm currently working on a G/M fic and another T/P fic, although it won't be angst, really. Can't say when I'll have them out though. *shrug* Oh well, I do have a life, ya know. ^_~ It just evolves around the computer. Warnings: Last chapter. Very short. =P

P.S. Okay, this is fluffy as well. If you choke easily, don't try it. I'm just in a really, really sappy mood right now, since my boyfriend just asked me to marry him last night. Guess what I said? ^____________^

P.S.S. R&R and review!

A fic by Hachimitsu
~*~


Two years and six months later, Trunks and Pan were walking outside of Capsule corp. It was almost midnight and the stars above twinkled like diamonds. It was a warm summer evening, the air still fresh and crisp.

The two were walking side-by-side, hands clasped together, fingers entwined. It was the most perfect evening.

The scars on Pan's wrists were still visible, a reminder to them both how close they came to losing eachother. Although not as dark and almost faded, they still stood out over the cream-colored skin.

She had nightmares for many days after she awoke, but Trunks was their each night to comfort her, was there as a shoulder to cry on. He made up for not being there in the past by keeping his promise of never letting her go.

And during this time, they spent nearly all the time together. Trunks kept his word; the first thing they did when Pan left the hospital was visit an amusement park that was staying in town for the week. They went to baseball games, restaurants, cruises, everything else they could fit into their schedule.

Trunks had never felt so happy in his life. For the first time ever, he felt complete, like he had found his other half. Pan was the same way, too. She hardly ever cried anymore, and you could mostly find her with a smile spread across her face. Both of them seemed to fill the void in the other's heart.

Trunks shifted from his right foot to his left, uncomfortable. He wasn't quite sure with the decision he made. Sure, he was 36, he wasn't going to get any younger, but he just had that feeling that she would say no. That it was still too soon.

But on the other hand, they've already given so much to eachother. Their hearts, soul, bodies and trust. Trunks smiled slightly as he remembered their first time; it had been exactly one year ago that night. He remembered every moment as if it were only moments ago, the fire burning in Pan's eyes, the passion, the fires that burned between them. It had been the most incredible night in either of their lives.

Trunks shifted again, only this time, Pan noticed. She frowned in concern.

"Trunks?" She asked, slightly puzzled. "Are you all right? You look...tense." She squeezed his hand gently. "Is there something bothering you?" He smiled, looking down into her eyes. They were a vivid brown again, no longer lifeless and dull. They seemed to regain that sparkle of happiness or annoyance, it depend what mood she was in. His smile grew wider as he leaned down and kissed her.

Every doubt seemed to diminish in that kiss. When Trunks finally pulled away, he was grinning from ear to ear.

"Er...Trunks?" Pan said, giving him an odd look. "Are you sure you're all right?"

Trunks glanced her over once more. Her raven-black hair reflected the moonlight, causing it to shine like obsidian. His heart started beating madly when he reached inside his pocket with fumbling fingers. He pulled out a small velvet case, and with trembling hands, pulled it open, revealing a gold ring with a glittering diamond. Pan stopped breathing.

"Ohhhh..." Was all that Pan could say.

"Pan Son, will you do me the honors of being my wife?" Pan stuttered. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes for the first time in two years; spilling down her cheeks.

"Y-Y-Yes," She whispered finally. Their lips met again once more before they broke apart. Smiles formed on both their faces before they threw their arms around eachother.

The stars above seemed brighter then just a few minutes ago, the air seemed just a bit warmer. Trunks picked her up and twirled her around, laughing and crying at the same time.

Trunks watched Pan's eyes light up, her eyes filled with as much passion as that day a year ago. He realized at that moment that true love lasts forever, even long after death. That is the only thing worth living for.

He smiled at Pan, she smiled at him. Very carefully, he slipped the ring over her finger and let her admire it. It twinkled like one of the stars above.

"I reached up in the sky and grabbed a star for you," He whispered in her ear. "Then I put it on this ring. That's how much I love you."

"Really?" Pan murmured, still examining it. Trunks watched as two more tears fell down her cheeks and automatically, he reached up and brushed them away.

"Really."

She looked deeply in his eyes, almost trying to find the path to his soul. He knew he had made the right decision. "I love you, Trunks."

"And I love you, Pan Briefs."

Pan giggled on his shoulder. "That's gonna take awhile to get use to."

He kissed the top of her head. "You better get use to it, cause that's gonna be your name for the rest of your life. I won't ever let you go."

"Is that a promise?"

"You better believe it."

Pan grinned and wrapped her hand firmly around his, fingers entwining around his own. Hand in hand, they walked off towards their future, because all they could see in their future, was eachother.

-Fin-

Er...okay, this might've gotten a little too fluffy, but oh well. This is shorter then some of the other chapters, that's cause it's not really a chapter, but the epilogue. Anyways I really hope you enjoyed this fic, I'll have my other writings out as soon as I'm done with them.

I'm not going to put a Thank-you section here this time (sorry!), I'm just too tired. Instead, a huge hug for those who review/ed, you honestly don't know how how much it means to me. Thank you all VERY much! I love you this much! *holds out her arms wide*


Ta-ta for now, minna,
