When he opened his eyes, he felt that his full strength had returned. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, wondering what to do with the rest of his life.Life without lunch seemed empty and empty, even the thought of a daring coup didn’t make his blood flow faster. He couldn't imagine Lunch making it so easy for Tenshinhan. She would probably be after him like the devil again, and when the Dragonballs reappeared she might go looking again to win Tenshinhan's love. Lunch was the kind of person who didn't give in an inch, that's what he liked about her.
<br />
When C17 opened the bedroom door, the smell of fresh coffee wafted towards him. He heard a woman's voice hum a song in the kitchen and his heart jumped. Was that still a dream? He pinched his cheek, but even the pain didn't convince him. He had to see it, feel it, be sure ... With three steps he was at the kitchen door and yanked it open.
<br />
"Good morning, C17. How are you?"
<br />
Was it real Was that really lunch, his lunch, which smiled at him timidly and yet warmly.<br />
"Lunch ?!" he burst out in disbelief, "what are you doing here?"
<br />
"Take care of you," she said with a wink. "If ..." and now her eyes shimmered suspiciously, "if you want it."
<br />
He took a step towards her, stretched out an arm, and let it drop again. "And Tenshinhan?"
<br />
"That was long gone," she said with a half-sad smile. "I just didn't want it to be true. Can you forgive me for being blind for so long? That it took me so long to realize that I ..." she had to pull herself together to get it over her lips so much did she fear his rejection, "that in truth I have begun to love you."
<br />
“Lunch!” He yanked her in his arms and hugged her. "Is it true? Not a mistake? Are you staying with me now? Are we going to give the police hell together?"
<br />
She returned his hug as tightly as she could. "Yes, C17. If you want me ...?"<br />
Instead of an answer, he gave her a clumsy, stormy kiss, the fire of which was in no way inferior to hers. Lunch closed her eyes and indulged in the happiness she had finally found.
