...

You made your way down the familiar forest path, hearing the usual sounds of the surrounding woods as you headed towards one of your favorite spots. The birds sang their songs as a gentle breeze rolled through the trees, bringing the light scent of pollen and grass along with it.

You hummed a tune while you walked, your feet carrying you over rocks and around fallen logs as you navigated the area flawlessly.

It wasn't always so easy for me... You realized, sighing as you thought back to a time when your blindness was something that caused you great pain. You actually let a smile grace your features as you recalled all the progress you had made over the last year, finally accomplishing your goal of being more self sufficient after the incident.

I'm glad I've been able to adjust bit by bit...

In no time at all you heard the distant sound of rushing water, the corner of your mouth turning up slightly while knowing that meant you were almost there. After a few more minutes of walking you paused, stopping to listen to the forest around you as you focused on every tiny sound and movement you could sense.

You envisioned the landscape in front of you, stepping forward cautiously and heading towards the large rock you knew to be located to your left. You reached out, letting your hand caress the cool surface before hopping up and taking a seat.

I just have to continue to take things one day at a time...

You crossed your legs, getting into a comfortable position while feeling the rays of the sun shine down on you, enjoying their warmth on this slightly chilly day. A few random thoughts crossed your mind before you took a deep breath, preparing to start your routine meditation when something out of place startled you.

The tiny echo of a twig snapping seemed as loud as a gunshot as you spun around, searching blindly for who or whatever was nearby.

Your now useless eyes widened instinctively as you concentrated on the surrounding area, holding your breath for a moment as you could barely make out the muted noise of someone else inhaling and exhaling...

A feeling of terror crept through your entire being before anger quickly took its place. Your eyes narrowed as another ominous breeze blew a few strands of [h/c] hair in front of your face.

"Who's there?" You questioned, bracing yourself for anything as you clenched your fists subconsciously. "I can hear you breathing..."

"Wow, you've got great hearing!" A cheery voice commented, surprising you yet again as the stranger continued. "Sorry if I scared you... I... I've just seen you coming here lately and wanted to say hello!" The man finished quickly, the underlying nervousness in his tone making you grin as you relaxed a bit.

"I'm Goku! What's your name?"

"I... I'm [Y/n]." You answered, hesitating slightly as you heard footsteps crunching through the grass towards you.

The sound of the stranger approaching stopped as a small silence took over the clearing, making you brush a fallen piece of hair out of your face anxiously as you waited for what would happen next...

"Um, sorry if this is rude to ask but... Can you see me?" Goku said, sounding genuinely concerned as you looked towards the sound of his voice.

"No, I can't." You admitted, not bothered by his question at all as you understood it was a reasonable one. You tilted your head to the side before grinning, happy just to be alive and in this world.

"And don't worry about it... I'm not bothered by the fact that I'm blind." You added, truly meaning that as you knew things could have turned out much worse.

"Oh."

You shook the darker memories from your mind as you thought of something else, hoping to distract yourself with more lighthearted conversation.

"So Goku..." You said, remembering his words from earlier. "You said you've been watching me?"

"Wh-Wha! N-No! That's not what I meant..." The man stammered, his voice shooting up a few octaves and making you giggle as you heard him laughing briefly as well.

Goku scratched the back of his head while trying his best to explain. "You have a very bright energy... I could sense it and I knew I had to come meet you." Goku admitted, curious himself as to why he felt so nervous around you. He glanced your way again, taking in your stunning appearance before his dark iris' met your dulled grey ones...

"You could sense my energy?" You repeated, amazed that something like that was even possible.

"Mmhmm." Goku hummed, smiling as a thought cross his mind. "I could teach you if you want [Y/n]... I bet you'd be a natural!"

"Me? Really...?"

"If you want to." Goku added, secretly hoping you would say yes after all this time he'd spent waiting to ask you.

The forest clearing remained silent for a moment as you considered this man's offer. Truthfully you'd only known him for a few moments, but something about his presence calmed your anxieties as you extended your hand slowly.

"I would like to learn if you'd be willing to teach me Goku..." You stated, now sounding a bit shy yourself as you felt the wind caress your fingertips.

A split second later a warm hand covered your own, surprising you at first until you heard the reassuring voice that accompanied the gesture.

"You'll be great [Y/n], I know it!"

...

A few weeks later...

...

You were sitting on the grass in front of Goku's cabin, a new favorite spot of yours now that you'd come to know the man so well. In the time since your meeting, he'd made it his personal goal to help you regain your sight, so to speak...

You took a deep breath before letting it out again, observing your surroundings in your own way as you sensed a few birds flying overhead. Their brief energy signatures disappeared as you focused on the trees, different plants and bugs, the invisible rivers of ki that flowed underneath the Earth. It was all so incredible. An entire world that some people never knew even existed...

A strong yet familiar energy tugged at the corner of your mind, making you smirk as you sensed your favorite Saiyan approaching. You moved a section of [h/c] hair behind your ear, feeling your face growing a bit warmer as you heard said fighter touch down beside you.

"Hey [Y/n]!"

"Hey Goku... How was your training?" You asked, looking towards the bright aura surrounding the man as you couldn't help but smile.

"Great! I feel like I'm getting a lot stronger... Like, I'm so close to reaching another level..." Goku explained, sounding excited but a bit tired as well. "Whis said so too!" 

You giggled lightly, learning very quickly that the fighter was obsessed with his training. That fact never bothered you however, as you actually found it to be a very endearing quality. He was dedicated to what he was passionate about... And you were grateful for that.

Without him I never would have been able to experience life like this... You realized, taking a deep breath as you focused on the swirling colors of all the energies around you.

"Are you alright [Y/n]?" Goku asked suddenly, startling you as you heard him speaking extremely close to you. "Your face is red... Are you feeling sick?" He went on, placing a soft hand against your forehead as you began to panic. 

"N-No! I'm fine, heh..."

You felt the blush on your cheeks getting even worse despite trying to fight it, cursing inwardly as you tried to think of a way to play it off. "It's just a bit warm out here I guess..." You mumbled, tugging at the edge of your sweater awkwardly.

"Hmm, okay." Goku replied while pulling his hand away from your face. "We should get you inside then..."

The Saiyan offered you his hand, more out of instinct than necessity, grinning proudly when you glanced right at it. You smiled yourself, grabbing his outstretched fingers and accepting his help before standing. The two of you began to walk towards the front door, your hand still resting gently in Goku's larger one as you smirked.

"You know I can find my way there now... Right Goku?" You asked, giggling while feeling his fingers grasp yours a bit more tightly. 

"Yeah, but... Just in case."

You both shared a laugh as you stepped inside the cabin, enjoying each other's company in this rare time of peace. Little did either of you know, the current tranquility was to be short lived as a dark energy plotted it's vengeance unseen...
