"Oh, heh," he chuckled, still unable to get the dusting of red from his cheeks at her compliment. "I don't know if anyone would ever use me on the cover of a book. My mother just raised me well, I guess. Still... I appreciate the compliment all the same. I try very hard to be polite," he said before shaking his head. He had no idea what she was talking about in terms of 'magic' and whether she spoiled it or not, but he doubted she had done anything wrong. "You haven't spoiled the mood at all--I'm still enjoying your company, Jocelyn," he said, accidentally calling her by her first name, but since she called him by his, he figured they were on friendly-enough terms for that sort of thing. She seemed to get a little embarrassed at his compliment about her health, but for some reason, his face became rather red as well. Well... he guessed the embarrassment was two-fold now between them, huh? "It takes more than just listening to be a good person, you know that. There's this calming aura around you--your company is more valuable than just being modest, trust me," he said with a reassuring nod to her. She certainly was something else--it was not very often he met women like her, not outside his own mother and Videl... The hurdles towards getting his own building in the city though--he was not sure if the injury of a more-or-less innocent man was worth it. The man was just a limosine driver, fearful for his life, and he nearly died that night to his injuries. Were it not for Gohan's medical skills or the timely arrival of the ambulance, the man likely would have met his fate. Instead, it seemed like he would make a full recovery in a few months, which was better than what Mister Gatz would have given him. Still, he nodded in understand of what Jocelyn was saying. "I do have to work pretty hard to meet his expectations--being his wife's son, I have a lot to fulfill, that's for sure," he said, as if both nervous about the task and yet... relishing the challenge. Because that was what this was: A challenge. Mister Gatz did not think Gohan was capable of pulling his weight, so the young doctor would have to prove his new step-father wrong--at every turn, if possible. He blinked away from his internal thoughts, looking down at Doctor Addison as she raised the suggestion of seeing the 'prettiest' spot in the city. The only place he could think of that fit that kind of bill was the park, in his opinion. She then poked him in the chest, wanting to be shown a good time like they had so far, and Gohan couldn't help but let a smirk cross his expression. "Very well, miss," he said, carefully putting an arm around her to support her again. "I'll, ah, make sure to fly a little slower this time," he said, more for the fact that he was not sure if her outfit would malfunction again, but she seemed winded the first time he flew her up to this spot, so he probably needed to take it a little easy this next time. "Ready? Here we go!" He declared, helping her keep his coat around her for warmth as their feet lifted off from the ground again. This time, instead of just moving straight vertically, they traveled a significant distance horizontally, the streets, cars, and people passing beneath them almost like ants scurrying from here to there, the wind and sun in their faces as he pointed out a few of the more important roads in the city to her. He even made it a point to show her the police station as well--a safe haven for her if she ever needed one, though he made sure to point out where he lived before going too far from it. Finally, they arrived at the city's grand park, the smell of slightly-damp grass and trees lingering in the air. It was not cold enough for the pond in the center of the park to freeze over, the water shimmering under the gold-and-orange light of the rising sun. Nearby, there was a tennis court as well as an indoor pool available--some people just wanted to be able to swim in any weather, he figured. The temperature here was also a bit warmer than on the rooftops, thankfully, and a few blue-coated birds were chirping away inside the trees nearby. Ceramic tiles lined some areas of the park, acting as paths through it that led to benches for sitting and admiring the fountains. Despite the sounds of traffic nearby, the park was relatively secluded with its perimeter lined with trees and bushes--about as private as one could get in the open city really. He set her down gently again, making sure she didn't lose her balance and fall before removing his arm around her. "Here we are--the park here is rather beautiful, even in the early stages of winter. Still some gold and red left on the trees around here," he said, nodding his head towards the natural setting around them, a peaceful smile on his face. "During the summer, or so I hear, this place has all kinds of blooming flowers and the like. Pets are permitted here, but obviously, they need leashes," he said, suddenly reminded about the lack of his own pet--Icarus. How that dragon was doing, though, he had no idea--the young Dragon had long since returned to the forest to be with his own kind. Maybe some day he would go find him again... "So, do you like it?" He asked, turning to look at her again--making sure to look away from her if her outfit became disorderly again. ((WC: 1010)) ((TWC: 10742)) |

"It doesn't seem like you're trying very hard at all. It seems like it's in your ordinary nature just to be so kind. Your mother did a bang up job in raising you, you owe her a debt!" She said with a thumbs up. She gave Gohan a wink when he confirmed she hadn't killed the mood, "well that's a relief, I'd hate for you not to be enjoying yourself, Gohan." She said confirming she was enjoying her time spent with Gohan so far. Even though she had spent a lot of it worrying about him and his actions, it didn't change the fact that Gohan was an upstanding man with a way of treating women. It wasn't every day she got to experience a man with a sense of chivalry. She tilted her head, not sure how to react to Gohan saying there was more to her, like an aura. She looked around herself and looked to see if she had an actual aura surrounding her. Jocelyn saw nothing, realizing Gohan was talking more about her presence. She didn't know what he meant, she just tried to be a genuine honest, for the most part, well mannered person. She didn't realize that this behavior of hers made her radiate a more powerful presence. Jocelyn just thought that was the way to act, she wasn't doing it to make people feel better, she was just doing it because that's how she was raised. "A calming aura? I don't know where you got such a silly concept from, but I have to say I find it amusing." She said with a little giggle. Gohan clarified that he did have to work hard to meet the man known as Gatz, to reach his expectations which were probably impossibly high. "Well, you must be the model son. Working so hard for the approval of others is hard enough as it is, must be even harder when they're family. They must expect you to work even harder to keep your spot." She said thoughtfully, looking up at the sun rise to enjoy it a little longer. She closed her eyes and let the warmth of the sun dance across her skin as it peered through the fluffy white clouds. She looked over to Gohan, she had to squint one of her eyes as the sun got in it. Gohan agreed to show her the prettiest spot in town and Dr. Addison couldn't help but get a little excited. Since she had grown more comfortable with Gohan, she wanted to see what he was capable of doing when she asked something of him. He hadn't disappointed with the roof top skyline sunrise and she wondered what other romantic idea he had in mind. She didn't know if Gohan had intended to show her something as beautiful as he did, but she was happy she got to share a moment with the good doctor. She let her lips curl into a pleased smile when he put his arm around her and got her prepared to take off, making her squeal a little when their feet lifted off the ground. She hugged closely into Gohan's chest as she didn't want to look down. It was too high, and although she didn't mind being on top of a building, flying over the cars and people made her very afraid. It's not that she'd never flown before, she had many times on an airplane but this was literally her second time flying through the air using a person as the transportation device. While buried in the chest of Gohan, Jocelyn felt almost at ease. She was comfortable there, feeling almost like she belonged there. Such a silly thing to think about when she had just met this man just a short while ago. She began to think about the warmth she felt in his muscular arms. Jocelyn began to day dream in her comfortable safety. Gohan was at the head of a classroom at the teacher's desk and Jocelyn was sitting in the back of the class in a cheerleader's uniform, her hair in pigtails. She curled her hair in her finger and was blowing bubbles with her bubblegum. Gohan stood up and approached her with a stern face. He had a ruler in his hand, he began to pat the ruler into his palm and looked at her with accusing eyes. Jocelyn looked like she was about to be punished when her train of thought was lost. "Here we are--,"he said and then she snapped back into focus. She realized her feet were touching the ground, she rubbed the back of her neck with a little devilish grin on her face. She'd have to come back to that thought later. She looked at all the surroundings around her, taking in all of it's majesty. She was very impressed and when Gohan asked her what she thought she couldn't help but respond with glee. "It's fantastic! It's everything I asked for and more! You really know how to show a girl a good time. You must get a lot of practice?" She said with a higher inflection at the end, unsure if he was a player of the field. She looked at him playful though with the statement, not exactly caring if he did do this to a lot of girls, she still felt special in some way. WC: 902 TWC: 8119 |

"I suppose you're right, though--I guess I do owe my mother quite a bit, huh?" He said, partially agreeing with her and partially sounding slightly disappointed--more with himself than anything else. He was suddenly reminded of how much he really owed his upbringing to his mother, yet his method of repaying her had ended up being ignoring her, even during her time of need--too focused on his own goals of completing his medical degree to even think to see how his own mother was doing. He wouldn't let that happen again--never again. He owed her too much love and loyalty to do that ever again. No matter what was going on, he would make sure she was safe, just as Mister Gatz had likely vowed to do the same as well. He would not leave her alone to die again--he refused! He shook his head to clear his thoughts, focusing on the woman beside him, enjoying the sights and sounds of the garden-esque park all around them. Sure, one could hear the sounds of passing vehicles, crosswalk signals, and honking horns on occasion, but more than anything else, the place seemed the most peaceful and relaxing of the city, not to mention rather secluded--it was like no one else visited this place, rather untouched by time, but that was probably due to just how new the park was. "I always enjoy myself while in a natural setting like this, and I'm enjoying it even more now that you're here, Jocelyn," he said with a smile at her, a sincere tone in his voice as he turned towards her, taking in the sight of her picture-esque blue eyes and those perfect lips of hers and-- Gohan cut his own thoughts short on the matter, more out of embarrassment that he would be thinking such things about her, but the other part was the state of her outfit again. Once again, it looked like her outfit and flying did not mix very well--not at all! Gohan quickly averted his gaze to the side, taking both sides of his jacket--the she was still currently wearing, thankfully--and closed them so her body was not immediately visible to anyone but herself. "P--Pardon me, miss, it--it looks like flying just does not agree with your attire," he said, his cheeks practically painted crimson from his nervousness and embarrassment. That dreamy look she had in her eyes for a moment did catch his attention, but he figured it was better to let her have a short bit of privacy rather than stare deeper into those eyes, no matter how much he liked looking at them. She was... "Profoundly beautiful" he whispered by accident, loud enough for her to hear him, though he had spoken his mind aloud mid-sentence. He did not even realize he had said anything--unless she inquired about what he had said. He turned away from her for a moment so she could adjust her attire, the young doctor rubbing his neck a little bit. "W--Well, maybe not the ultimate model son, but I try very hard to meet their expectations--and so far, I think I'm doing a good job of it. I mean, I have a job, my own medical building, my own house... everything a person dreams of when they're in college, right?" He said before chuckling nervously a little. "I'm glad you like this place, though--it's really the closest, natural scenary in this city, and you'd have to go a long way out of your way to find a more natural setting. I suppose we could go towards the forest near the city, but that's a bit of a trek--though obviously, it's quicker by flight," he said, figuring she had adjusted her attire by now. He looked back towards her, that same charming, happy smile on his face and eyes as he looked upon her. "It really is spectacular though. And... well, I can't say I've had a lot of practice, really--I just figured you would enjoy the same things I do, and so far, my guess was correct. And I can't really say I do this for every stranger I meet--you've just been really supportive today, and I feel like..." he said, pausing for a moment to collect his thoughts. "...Well, I guess there is a connection between us, no matter how small, huh? You feel... rather special to me, Jocelyn, despite the fact we've only met today. I've been enjoying your company and conversation this whole time, and I like the idea of spending more of it with you--if you're not busy that is," he said before letting out another nervous chuckle.

"A mother's work is never done, you must always be appreciative of her because she's always looking out for you, silly head!" She said, not exactly sounding like a world class scientist but more like the big breasted nineteen year old she was. She looked at Gohan who seemed to be deep in thought for a moment. It seemed talking about his mother seemed to strike a chord within him. Whatever it was it looked like it was a heavy burden he carried on his shoulders alone, a part of her wanted to know what he was thinking but she felt it probably be better not to ask. The sounds of the city were distant in the park, they were around but they weren't the center piece of this beautiful park. The sounds of dogs barking and birds chirping in the trees was the more dominant sound as it rang closer. Jocelyn couldn't think of any better place she'd rather be, this just seemed right. It was almost as if she had forgotten why she had even come to Gatz Haven. It was then she remembered that she was on a mission, and although she was enjoying making a new friend there was business to attend to. She shook the thought from her head, work could wait. She had the rest of her life to work and slave for the New Red Ribbon Army, it wasn't every day you met someone who could make you feel special. "I'm very much enjoying myself Gohan, I think even more so since you're here. You've been wonderful company." She said in response to his enjoyment of the natural setting and enjoying it even more since she was there. It was weird how they had this mutual connection going on, she couldn't explain it but something about him being previously a danger in her mind made him all the more alluring. Something about chicks and danger man, it was the thing that got them going. The two of them shared a long transfixed gaze when Gohan suddenly realized something. She looked down and her face turned several hundred shades of red. She quickly wrapped her hands across her exposed chest and covered up her revealed body. It seemed whenever she flew gravity wasn't her friend and decided to show off her goods. She sighed as she pulled up her shirt and bra, adjusting it and making sure her puppies were in order. "I agree...Flying and my boobs don't go hand in hand." She said cupping her boobs and juggling them a little in her hands, of course she did this while her back was turned to Gohan so he wouldn't see it. Jocelyn turned her head when she thought she heard him say something, something about beautiful. "Did you say something just now?" She asked inquisitively. She looked down to check her clothes to make sure they were in proper order. She buttoned up her coat up to her collar, it revealed less skin but she was sure Gohan was fighting back too many bloody noses as it was. She turned to Gohan who went on to explain his current situation, how he had his own house and how he tried to meet their expectations. "Well, you are living the college dream. Perfect son, perfect life. All you need is a wife and you'd be set." She said with a little giggle, not realizing that perhaps those words carried more weight then she realized. Gohan went on to say that this was as close as natural you'd get in the city, with the nearest thing resembling it being the forest on the outskirts. Jocelyn had to remind herself that this information was useless, as she wasn't really moving to Gatz Haven. She had no interest at all, what with her life being possibly in danger while being there. She thought it cruel though to play Gohan like that, he was being so helpful and the only thing she was doing in return was making him waste his valuable time. "Well, I think I found my new favorite place in town then!" She said reassuringly. Gohan's next bit of information was heavier then anything he had said before. Sure it was in the same vein as comments he had made, but this felt more personal. He let Dr. Addison know that he felt a connection, although small, he still felt one. He even wanted to make time for her in the future. Addison blushed a little at the gesture, she hadn't realized he would be so bold. She bowed her head a little. "I'm deeply honored Gohan. I think we've come upon very special. It's not every day I meet someone who I find intellectually appealing as well as handsome. In my line of work the doctor's i usually meet are wrinkly old men and fresh out of school losers who wouldn't know a prescription from a subscription. You've been a breath of fresh air in an otherwise mundane day, and I think I would like to spend time with you again. If that's okay with you?" She said, her eyes the color of the sky in daylight. Her hands rested on her curvy hips as her foot placement was wide, she was leaning over a little bit to see what Gohan would say. WC: 889 TWC: 9008 |

He was delighted to hear that she was enjoying herself--he truly was. It meant he was doing something right or just suffering from monkey-and-keyboard syndrom, but either way, it felt good knowing that he was helping someone enjoy the view and enjoy the conversation. He was still very much red in the face despite her covering up more, Jocelyn agreeing that flying and her chest did not seem to get along. She had been rather exposed, not that it was a bad sight or anything but--Focus Gohan! He thought to himself, shaking his head of those thoughts immediately. Those were hardly the thoughts of someone who should be a gentleman to a woman and friend. It was a good thing his mother was not psychic, otherwise she likely would have yelled across the city at him, amplifying the embarrassment about the whole thing. Of course, she inquired as to what he said, blinking at her for a moment--staring into those deep eyes of hers again--before he realized what he had said and thought. "I--I said you were... profoundly beautiful, Jocelyn," he said, blushing a little more and scratching the back of his head again, more out of embarrassment than anything else. "Sorry if its a little too forward of me to say that--it just sort of slipped out, I guess. But don't take it the wrong way either--you are a fascinating woman, beautiful, and rather charming," he said, nodding to her as he closed his eyes and smiled at her. Her own compliment about his intelligence and handsome looks just made him feel even more bashful about the whole thing, especially the comment about the wife. "Well... I guess a wife would make things a lot more... ideal," he said, not realizing how intently he was looking at her--her deep eyes, her lucscious lips--until the silence caused him to snap out of it and turn his head to the side, clearing his throat and taking just a small step back. What was there to say? He didn't really have any kind of witty comment or anything to excuse that kind of rudeness. "M--my apologies, Jocelyn. I do not mean to stare," he said, making sure to admire the wilderness around him a bit more, just a little bit more before he felt the temptation to lose himself in her eyes again. "Yeah, this place is my favorite in the city--not quite big enough for a proper hike, but on days like this, it is quite relaxing. I hear swans tend to come by the lake to relax as well," he said, trying so, so, so hard not to say 'swans like yourself' to her--but the way he looked over at her seemed to say it a lot better than words could. "I appreciate the compliments, Jocelyn," he said, taking her hand in his for a moment and lowering his head towards it, not quite kissing it, but the intent had been there for a split second. "I would be immensely honored to spend time with you again in the future," he said, holding her hand in one of his, his other behind his back, stance tall and square, almost like a storybook gentleman. He felt a little silly standing like that, but he smiled down upon her all the same before--hesitantly--releasing her hand. "Today has just been so... uplifting to me, thanks to you, Jocelyn. You might not think you have done much today, but to me, it's like you moved an entire mountain off my shoulders, and for that, I thank you very much," he said, once again falling silently as he felt himself drawn into the bottomless sky that were her eyes. That blush never did seem to get out of his cheeks either--his face started to feel so warm, it might just melt! Gah! ((WC: 661)) ((TWC: 12202)) Edited by ScorriaGohan, Dec 15 2014, 04:33 AM.

When she heard him say what he said she couldn't help but blush. "You think I'm...beautiful?" She said, rubbing her cheeks with her index fingers and looking a little silly in doing so. She was a little taken back by the bold move. He hadn't been this bold before, it was exciting to learn that this guy had a backbone to go along with his intelligence. "Why...Thank you Gohan." She couldn't think of anything else to say. "It's not to forward at all, sometimes you have to go with your gut and say what's on your mind, no matter what the consequences." She said with a wink. Jocelyn put her hands on the jacket Gohan gave her and snuggled it close. It was then the two of them just stood there in silence and stared at one another, it must have been ages but it only felt like seconds to the young doctor. She didn't even realize Gohan was talking until he stopped speaking, she snapped to attention and very dully said "Huh?" Not registering what he said, but he seemed apologetic. She tried to stay in the conversation though, picking up the bits of information about the park he knew. She knew it was unnecessary information she'd never use but hearing him talk about it was still interesting. He appreciated the compliment she gave him, even taking her hand and bowing his head to it. She half expected him to kiss it, but he didn't. I guess that would have been a little too corny now that she thought about it. Her cheeks filled with a blush as she didn't really know how to react, this was the first time Gohan had touched her hand and she was having all kinds of feels. He let her know that he would be immensely honored to spend time with her again, in the future. She suddenly felt her pocket began to vibrate. She looked down, taking her attention off Gohan as he let go of her hand. She reached into her pocket and fumbled for her phone. Gohan would go on to speak but her attention was diverted to her ringing phone, she saw the number calling and immediately knew it was work. The call ceased and immediately after the call ended a text message was sent to her cell. It read "RETURN. NOW!" The message being in all caps meant she was in trouble. She gulped, as she looked up to Gohan and began to bow frantically. "Oh, yes! Very nice to hang out with you too Gohan. I'm glad I could be of service! But I-I...I must be going! Big important day! Gotta find that perfect apartment! I have your card! I'll call you soon!" She said with a haste in her voice as she began to walk off without properly saying goodbye. It was like her goodbye in the coffee shop all over again, but this time she was in fear of what her job might do to her. WC: 502 TWC: 9510 |

She produced a phone from her pocket during the conversation, looking upon it while nodding her head, which meant she was still in the conversation--still, he paused when she had a look of surprise--and possibly nervousness--on her face when she looked upon the message. It seemed like whoever was trying to contact her was rather upset at Jocelyn, if Gohan had to guess, bringing their time together to a rather abrupt halt. This time, he did not think much of her goodbye, maintaining that smile on his face like it was the most natural thing in the world. "I'll be looking forward to it!" He yelled towards her as she walked away, the young doctor waving a hand above his head in goodbye. He could not help but let his eyes follow her as she left, feeling a distinct attraction and connection--maybe he should finally admit that he really liked her. Was this what dating was all about...? He did not have much experience in that field, truth be told, since he spent so much time studying for his medical degree than anything else while in college. A light breeze danced across his face and shoulders as he continued to watch her, the distance growing with every second until she was out of sight, yet he found her lingering scent in her midst, enjoying it as he closed his eyes. He wished he could spend more time with her, of course, but he knew she had responsibilities much like he did. Yes--he really should get going today, doing the things that doctors did--but he felt almost rooted to this spot, as if halfway expecting her to return, or maybe he was just enjoying the high he felt from being around her. And to think, he only met her today... he would have to make sure to do something special for her the next time they met. Maybe a new jacket for her since her wardrobe seemed to malfunction all the time-- "Ah!" He yelled out, his face filled with blush. "S--she still has my jacket!" He exclaimed, probably louder than he meant to, feeling rather foolish to not think about that little tidbit until now! Great, he'd have to switch over to one of his other suits for the day's responsibilities... just great! ((WC: 398)) ((TWC: 12600)) |
