Videl froze mid-step, her heart skipping a beat as she heard footsteps approaching. Slowly turning around, she found herself face to face with Kyle, his chest bare except for a pair of well-toned abs peeking temptingly through the open buttons of his shorts. The sight of him sent waves of heat rushing through her entire being, but she forced herself to maintain eye contact, resisting the urge to ogle at her childhood friend's perfect physique. "Uh… um…" she stammered nervously, glancing self-consciously downwards.

Feeling cornered by Kyle's imposing presence, Videl hesitated momentarily before reluctantly complying with his request. Gently nudging the tray of food aside, she carefully lowered herself back onto the bed, trying hard not to reveal how much her legs were shaking beneath the thin fabric of the borrowed shirt. As he pulled the covers up to her waist, their skin brushed against each other ever so slightly, sending shockwaves of electricity coursing through her veins. Swallowing thickly, she steeled her resolve, determined not to show just how affected she really was.

Despite her best efforts to remain composed, Videl couldn't suppress a soft moan of pleasure as Kyle's touch sent a wave of warmth spreading throughout her body. His proximity was unbearable; every gentle brush of skin against hers felt like electrical currents surging through her system. Fighting the rising desire threatening to consume her, she focused instead on savoring each bite of the delicious pancake he fed her, forcing herself to swallow down the flood of emotions brewing inside her. "Thank you," she managed to croak out between bites, her eyes flickering briefly towards Kyle before darting away again. It wasn't fair - why did he have to be so damn irresistible? Why now, when she needed all the strength she could muster to survive this nightmare?
