You and Gohan were so busy the last few months with planning your wedding, being parents, and working, that it has been a long time since you two have been out on a date. So, to surprise you, Gohan planned out an entire day. He made sure to wake up before you to bring Sasha over to her grandparents' and to start your morning off with some freshly brewed tea.
"(y/n)? Good morning."
"Good morning, Gohan." He gave you a gentle kiss on your forehead before handing you your cup of morning tea. The warmth felt nice in your hands.
"I know it's been a while since we've spent some quality time together. So, I planned out an entire day for us. I hope that's okay."
You blew on your tea a little before taking a few small sips. Hearing Gohan talk about how he planned an entire day for you two warmed your heart.
"Gohan, that is so thoughtful...what about Sasha?"
"I dropped her off at her grandparent's house this morning and told them that we would be back to pick her up tomorrow morning."
"You really did think of everything."
"I sure hope so. I wanted everything to be perfect for our date."
"...Thank you, Gohan." You felt all giddy inside while taking more small sips. It felt nice knowing that Gohan went through all the trouble in surprising you.
"Alright, you finish your tea, start getting dressed, and I'll get breakfast ready for us. So take your time and let me know if you need me for anything. Today is our day."
You leaned over to give Gohan a kiss on his cheek, made him blush a little, and watched as he left and closed the door behind him. You finished up your tea and placed the cup on your nightstand. While you went to take a shower, you were thinking about how most of the wedding plans were done.
You couldn't think of anything else major that needed to be sorted. At this point in the process, you, Gohan, and everyone else would just need to show up. So, it was nice to be able to enjoy your day out and not worry about anything important.
After stepping out of the shower, you got dressed in a cute white dress with floral imprints throughout. Of course, comfortable shoes and a small purse to match. Gohan was finished preparing breakfast and had gotten dressed.
"Thank you for making breakfast."
"You're very welcome." He took a moment to notice your outfit for today.
"You look wonderful."
"Thank you. You look very handsome."
"Hehe, thanks. I wanted to try something different with breakfast, so I hope you like it."
"I'm sure it's great. Anything you cook always comes out great." Hearing that made him blush a little as he scratched the back of his head a bit.
"So, what are the plans for the morning?"
"Alright! I thought we could take a nice walk over to the mall, digest our food. Then, we could get some shopping done, get some stuff you've been eyeing. And then afterward, have some lunch at the mall for a small break."
"That sounds like fun. Anything else?" You thought his enthusiasm was so cute.
"Of course! I booked us a pottery class too. I know you've been wanting to try pottery for a long time."
"I have! That makes me so excited!" You took a few bites in between since you wanted to eat Gohan's breakfast while it was still hot. "I'm so happy you did all of this, Gohan..."
"I'm glad. I wanted to give you the day you deserve." Hearing that warmed your heart again.
"And!" He continued. "I thought we could try out that new dessert shop that just opened up."
"The really cute one?! I can't wait to try out their cakes! They look so delicious and fluffy."
"I know! I can't wait either!"
After breakfast, Gohan got all the dishes and soaked them in soapy water. So by the time we get back, all the grease would slide right off. Gohan made sure to have all of his belongings before opening the door.
"After you." You giggled a little at his impression of a gentlemen and made sure to have you purse in hand before stepping out.
"Such a gentlemen."
"Anything for my lady."
The weather was perfect today. Walking hand in hand with Gohan, having him whisper cute little compliments into your ear, flirting a little, looking into each other's eyes. It all felt so magical. It had really been a long time since the two of you have been able to be like this with no interruptions.
Wrapping up your walk, Gohan held the door open for you to get into the mall. It feels like it's been forever since you two went out shopping for stuff you wanted and not just things you need.
You walked into the stationary store to get a few bookmarks, some cute pencils, and a new journal. At the clothing store, you and Gohan were able to find a few pieces to make new outfits and others to match with. After you two finished shopping, you stopped by the food court to get some snacks. It felt cozy sharing some ice cream. You noticed Gohan had a little on his cheek. So, you reached over and softly licked it off and gave him a small peck on his cheek. Gohan turned to give you a soft peck on your lips.
So dreamy.
After finishing up, you two made your way over to the pottery class since it was going to start around 3:30 pm. When entering the studio, it smelled just like you imagined; dry clay, dry paint brushes, and art supplies. You felt very excited being around artsy stuff. You and Gohan found a seat at a station, and the instructor informed everyone that small mugs were going to be the project for today's class.
You were most excited about the painting portion. You already knew you were going to paint on some small dainty looking flowers. It was trendy but still very cute.
You tied your hair back, wet the roller machine the way the instructor explained, and started working on your clay. It felt a lot tougher to actually spin the clay around and keep the shape you wanted. The instructor made it look easy. You were watching Gohan spin the roller too fast, and a little clay flew around. He apologized and did his best to slow down and not use too much of his strength.
You found yourself gazing at Gohan while he molded his clay. Before you realized it, you had stopped your roller machine completely. You wanted to see what he was doing and maybe get some ideas. But more than anything, you just wanted to admire his muscles while working that clay.
After taking in a few breaths, you continued working on your small mug until it looked as cute as you envisioned it. It took some time, but you were able to get a shape you were proud of. It had character. Making the handle, though, felt like the hardest part. You were starting to give people who did this for a living way more credit. You knew you would leave here with more appreciation for the art.
When everyone was finished, all the projects were taken away to dry, instructed to clean up, and to find a place at the table to sit at with paint. Of course, you sat towards one of the corners. While you and everyone waited, Gohan took your hand in his and gave you another soft kiss on your cheek.
"What do you think so far?" He asked.
"It's a lot harder than I thought it would be. You need a lot of strength for this."
"Not too much strength, though."
"I saw. It was kind of cute."
"Yeah? That's kind of a relief because it felt so embarrassing. Luckily, it didn't get on anyone."
"It's okay, you know your strength is good for other things." You winked as you gave him a kiss on the cheek. After some time had passed, everyone started getting their mugs back and was encouraged to paint until your heart's content.
You watched Gohan paint his mug a nice royal blue color. You started with a white base around your entire mug before carefully painting each flower a different color. It took longer than you thought, but you loved how your mug came out. While you admired your creation, you took a second to think about how lucky you are to have a partner who pays attention to you and remembers some of the new things you wanted to try.
Every since meeting Gohan, you've grown so much. Your anxiety used to be difficult to deal with, having more tougher days than not. And even though you still have some days that are hard, they don't happen as often as they used to. Now, your days are filled with many more laughs, smiles, and happier memories. You were able to become a parent with him, something you didn't feel worthy of at one point.
You found so much strength through his support. But also through your hard work of wanting things to improve for yourself. You knew it was just a pottery class but Gohan planned this whole day out for you and you couldn't be more grateful to have a partner who wants to spend time with you and wants to continue showing how much you mean to him.
Gohan's mug ended up having some nice yellow stars painted around it. Very him.
"I love your mug, Gohan."
"Yeah? I did the best I could." He took a moment to look at your mug. "Your mug is very cute, (y/n)"
"Yeah?! I'm glad you think so. I worked really hard on it."
"I saw. You look so cute when you're focused on something."
"You were watching me?"
"Of course, I'm always admiring you." Hearing him say that made you feel bashful and blushed a lot.
After the paint was fully dried, the class was over, and it was time to get all of your things to start leaving the mall. You started feeling super excited to try out the new dessert spot. You've been having your eyes on it for a few weeks. Gohan carried all the bags in one hand so you could hook arms with his free arm. It made you feel like a princess.
"Would you like to fly over? I know it's been a long time since we've flown together." It made you think back to the first time you two flew together. It was really scary at first, but you knew Gohan wouldn't let anything happen to you. You nodded your head, but you felt very shy having your body pressed up against his. You two have been together for years now, but you still have your moments where you feel shy around him. You put your arms around his neck, and Gohan held tightly onto your waist to make sure you were supported. He gently floated off the ground, and even though he's done this so many times, there were still moments when it felt like a dream. You felt your dress flutter in the wind a bit as he slowly went higher into the sky.
"Let me know if it becomes too much for you!"
"I will!"
It wasn't long until we were high above the clouds, and the view took your breath away. Seeing Gohan in the sun's reflection made him look so handsome.
"Gohan..."
"Yeah, (y/n)?"
"I love you... so much." Hearing you say that made him stop moving towards the shop and started floating in place. He wrapped his arms full of your bags gently around you to bring you in for a deep hug. And slowly came up to look deeply into your eyes. You didn't expect him to do that, but you were glad he did.
"(y/n), I love you so much, too. I remember when we met, I thought you were so cool and probably didn't want to hang out with a guy like me. But, I felt so lucky that you did."
"I thought a hot guy like you would have been a jerk." You said playfully.
"A hot guy like me?" He said in a shy tone.
"You don't think you're hot?"
"Well, I'm not sore on the eyes if you know what I mean." It made you laugh hearing him say that. It was nice being this close to him, being away from everyone. The wedding was soon but you didn't want to wait a long time to spend alone time together.
"I want to have some days in the month where we can spend time together, like this, instead of waiting for things to slow down."
"I feel the same way. Wanna have Fridays as our date night?"
"I'd love that... Gohan?"
"Yeah?"
"Kiss me?..."
"Of course." He slowly leans in and softly presses his lips up against yours. It was that soft but passionate kiss you always read about. Wanting to take everything in, you two stayed in that moment as long as you could.
When you slowly pulled away, so did he. He told you how much he loves you again and gave you small kisses around your face before he started flying again towards the dessert spot.
