One day, in the backyard of Bulma's home, Bulma and Goku sat together, leisurely enjoying the warm sunlight and delicious food. Bulma looked at Goku, a complicated glint flickering in her eyes, then suddenly said, "Goku, let's get married!"
Goku was holding a drink. At her words, he froze, then accidentally sprayed the drink in his mouth all over Bulma's clothes. Bulma was startled and hurriedly wiped the drink off herself, looking at Goku with a face full of confusion. Goku, meanwhile, was completely dumbfounded, his eyes wide and his expression utterly bewildered.
"M-Married?!" Goku stammered, seemingly still unable to process it. "Y-You're joking, right?"
Hearing Goku's response, Bulma smiled, though her eyes still held a trace of seriousness. "I'm not joking, Goku. Didn't you say you don't really have anywhere to go now? I thought, if we can keep living like this, then why not get married?"
Goku stared blankly at Bulma, his thoughts a complete mess. Marriage? He had never considered something like that, especially with Bulma. As far as feelings went, Goku felt that he and Bulma had always been good friends, even close like family. But marriage seemed a little sudden.
"But... but we've always been friends. Getting married... wouldn't that be kind of inappropriate?" Goku scratched his head.
"Goku, I know you may not be ready yet, but this is something I've thought about seriously. What do you think?" Bulma sighed softly and shook her head.
"I-I've never thought about this stuff. It's so sudden, I don't know what to do." Goku looked at Bulma helplessly.
"It's okay, Goku. You can take your time. I just think that if we like each other this much, maybe we could give it a try." Seeing this, Bulma smiled gently, as though she had known all along that
