I'll Be Home For Christmas
Summary: As the gang returns home for Christmas, Trunks has a special surprise for everyone. *Six Years Before Can You Feel My Heart*
"What time is the bus leaving tonight?" Bulma, the mother of Trunks asked. It was towards the end of his first semester at college. He had gone away to South City University. Bulma usually kept in contact with him, but since it has been his finals week, he hasn't been able to talk much.
He flipped his phone to his left ear, "It will be around eight o'clock. I know it is late, but my last final starts in about fifteen minutes it was the only one were I wouldn't be rushing." He said causing his mother to nod her head. It was around 4:30 and the teacher allows the final to be two hours. He still has to eat dinner, so he made the right decision.
"Sounds good, remember that we are having almost everyone over for Christmas." She reminded him in case he forgot. She noticed that since he has college on his mind twenty-four seven, he forgets to do simple things. If it wasn't for Bulma or his girlfriend Marron he would forget to do something simple.
He nodded his head, "Yeah, I haven't forgotten Mom. Hey, mom I have to go to my last final, I'll see you tomorrow." He hung up his phone and tossed it on his bed. He turned around and a smile crept on his face.
She couldn't help but smile at him, "Trunks, why so smiley?" She asked as he walked over to her.
He looked down at her and kissed her forehead, "We can tell finally tell our parents our little secret." He murmured at her.
Marron goes to Ginger Town University. Her finals week was a week before Trunks. She promised him that she would stay with him a week before they went back to West City for the holiday season. Her parents were okay with her doing that because she wasn't able to spend much time with her lover.
The look on her face concerned Trunks. He was happy that they were together, he just wish that she was happy. "I'm happy about us, but what are our parents going to say. We are still in college." She said as she released from his grip and sat down on his bed.
He sighed heavily as he walked over and sat down on his bed next to her. He put his arm around her and looked down at her. "It doesn't matter what they think." He started off, "It's about you and me and if they aren't happy than that's their issue."
The blonde looked up at him and smiled, "You know the right things to say." She said before she planted a kiss on his lips. He removed his arm from her shoulders and got up and grabbed his backpack.
"Now, I actually do have to take my last final, but I promise you that we will actually get to spend time together tonight." He said with a smirk, "I love you Marron."
A smile crept on her face. Those three words always made her light up on the inside. It always reminded her that he was the only one for her. "I love you too Trunks. Now, go ace that final." He blew her a kiss and exited his dorm room.

After Trunks finished his final, he took Marron to his favorite sushi place. When he first arrived on campus, he couldn't believe how wonderful it was. And he thought nothing could beat the sushi that his mother made, but he was wrong.
He knew that sushi was one of his girlfriend's favorite food, so she had to take her to it before they left to make it back home. And by the look on her face, he knew that he made the right decision to bring her here.
"This sushi is so good." Marron mumbled as she finished swallowing the first bit "And I didn't think that someone could beat your mom's sushi, Trunks." She took another bite and Trunks couldn't help, but laugh at her.
The little things like this he missed. He missed taking her out to different restaurants for each anniversary and watching her expression to the food that she order. He mainly just missed having her in his arm in general. That was the first time that they have been separated since they were kids.
Marron swallowed hard and eyed her boyfriend, "How's your meal, Trunks?" She asked after she sat her drink back down on the table.
He ordered uramaki with a side of noodles. Marron is a picky eater and stuck with her favorite a California roll with a side of noodles. He smiled at her as he took a sip of his drink.
"It's really good." He said. Since he is always on campus, he doesn't get wowed by the food like Marron does. He will be happy to go to home to have some of his mother's cooking. She was nowhere near as a good as a cook like Chi-Chi, but she wasn't terrible.
"How much longer until our bus to take us home arrives?" She asked in between chewing on her food. Trunks couldn't contain his laughter and laughed at her causing her to roll her eyes at him. She grunted at him, "Come on, just answer the question." She said slightly harsh.
He ceased his laughter so she wouldn't get mad at him. He pushed his sleeve up and it revealed his Versace watch. "We need to leave in five minutes to make it on time." She nodded her head as she popped in the last piece of sushi that she had. She already finished her noodles, so she was set to go.
"I'm ready!" She exclaimed causing Trunks to smile at her. He got up and paid as she made her way outside. Trunks used a capsule and put their suitcases in, so they wouldn't have to worry about it when they were getting off the bus. He always thanked kami that his mother was inventor. The simple things that she made helped everyone out.
Trunks made his way outside and as he hugged Marron. "We have three hours on this bus ride and then we will be with our family." He said as the blonde pushed some of her locks out of her face. She nodded her head at him.
"I know, I can't wait to see them either. I wouldn't if it snowed over there." Currently, in South City it is close to sixty degrees. In West City it is closer to thirty degrees, so them it did not seem right, they felt out of place. And they always agreed that having a white Christmas is beautiful.
Trunks nodded his head because he was wondering too, "So, we won't tell them until we are going to toast at Christmas Eve feast." Trunks mentioned.
Marron nodded her head, "Yes, Trunks you told me plenty of times. I know what the drill is, I have a feeling you are more anxious than I am." She confessed to him.
He will never admit it to her, but he was beyond anxious. And she was right, he was more anxious than her. He wanted everything to go perfect or else they are going to have wait even longer to tell their family and friends. Trunks accidently slipped up and told Goten on the phone. He made him swear that he wouldn't tell a single soul. And Goten isn't the brightest at times, so hopefully he kept his promise.
"I want everything to be perfect." He confessed causing the blonde to nod her head at him.
"The more we worry the more it could go out of place." She said causing him to agree with her statement. He took a deep breathe to calm down his nerves. Marron pointed right pass Trunks, "Look the bus is here." The bus stopped right in front of them. The door opened and they were greeted by a gentleman with gray hair.
Trunks said, "Good evening. This bus is going to West City correct?" He wanted to make sure that they were going to be getting on the right bus. How upsetting would it be if they ended up on the wrong and couldn't make it home in time for Christmas or even New Years!
He nodded his head, "Yes, our first stop is West City and then Pepper Town." The couple nodded their head as they made their way onto the bus.
Trunks walked passed their driver completely forgetting that they had to pay. "I'm sorry about him." Marron said as she opened up her purse to grab her wallet and paid the main a couple of zeni.
The bus driver chuckled at her, "It's all right miss." Marron placed her wallet back in her purse as she made her way down the aisle to find out where Trunks chose to sit. She finally caught to him and tapped him on the shoulder.
"I forgot that we have to pay right?" He asked. Marron nodded her head, "I'm sorry."
"I got it covered, remember I don't mind paying." She confessed causing Trunks to chuckle at her. He doesn't like that at times she pays, his mother taught him to be a gentleman and they are supposed to pay. At times, Marron agrees to chipped in to help him.
"Three hours on a bus won't be fun, so I'm choosing a good seat." Trunks said as he sat down in the last row next to the window. Marron giggled at him as she sat down next to him.
"Today is the twenty-third, so we only have to hide it from then for less than twenty-four hours." Marron contributed which caused Trunks to smile and kiss on her the cheek. "I'm going to get some rest, so we wake me up when we are in our city."
She took the sleeping mask out of her carry-on bag along with her neck pillow. She put the neck pillow on before she put her sleeping mask on. "Yes, Trunks, I always come prepared." She murmured before she drifted off into a deep sleep.
Trunks looked over at her and smiled. He always loved that she took after her dad's caring personality, but could be aggressive at times just like her mother. His smiled faded away as he looked out the window. "I don't know how I got so lucky." He said as put his headphones in his ears.
A/N: Another Christmas story, yay. I wasn't sure at first if I wanted to write it or not, but after talking to one of my good friends they said that I should, so I did. I hope everyone enjoyed this story and please leave a review. I'll try to get a new chapter out before Christmas, but I'm also trying to finish up Break My Fall and post my new story. If I don't get a new chapter out before Christmas, I hope everyone has a happy holiday season!
