The truth
The raven haired demi-saiyan walked towards him intent on telling him the truth. He was definitely nervous, who wouldn't be. It's not easy telling your best friend, that you've known since you were a toddler, that you in love with him especially if you both guys.
Trunks, you know we have beenfriends since we were little, but what you probably don't know is that I'm in love with you . . . . No that sounds stupid thought Goten as he was getting closer to the source of desires.
Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a certain red haired girl known as Kim. Her hazel-coloured eyes sparkling with something Goten could not place.
"Hey, Goten" said Kim.
"Hey, I was actually going to speak to Trunks." said Goten indicating to the lavender haired demi-saiyan.
"Before you go I have something to tell you. I know."
"Know what?" asked Goten nervously. Kim could always tell when Goten was nervous. He always played with the ring hanging from a chain around his neck. It was a gift from Bulma, his aunt.
"Come on Goten. I see the way you look at him. It's obvious you like him."
"Is it really that obvious? Wait a minute you don't mind that I'm in love with a guy."
"No. I'm hurt that you never told me though."
"I'm really sorry. I was just afraid. Forgive me?"
"Of course I forgive you. Come on lets go to Business class, we going to be late. One more period and you will see him."
"Ok. Let's go." answered Goten as he took Kim's hand. What Goten hadn't noticed was Trunks was watching him. As soon as he saw Goten grab Kim's hand there was an unmistakeable expression on his face. Hurt.
Gotens P.O.V
It's been fifteen minutes since final period started. Where's Trunks?
". . . The next step is to square eight. Does anyone . . ." before Mr. Tike could continue Trunks stormed in.
"The answer is sixty four" said Trunks without faltering.
"Ah Mr. Briefs. You are correct but late. Take a seat" Without another word Trunks took his seat next to mine.
"Trunks, are you ok?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. Why are you asking?" asked Trunks.
"Well. It's just that you've never been late for anything. Even when you were born you were on time"
Trunks laughed. "I'm fine. Really" he said with an unconvincing smile.
"Ok. It's Friday," I grinned "you know what that means"
A real smile slowly developed on Trunks face. "Party time! Mikhail from homeroom's having a party. Up for it?"
"Yeah"
"That was one awesome party, huh?" asked an intoxicated Trunks.
"Yeah. It was great, but I'm all out" I answered.
"You can stay the night if you too tired to fly. You can tell Chi Chi you slept here in the morning"
"No need to I told her I'm sleeping over"
"Great" said Trunks while I lead him to his room upstairs.
Wouldn't mind undressing you I thought as Trunks got dressed into a pair of boxes. The moonlight shinning on his flawless exposed skin. My eyes travelled from his muscled torso to his lips. My eyes fixed on his lips. I wonder how his lips feel.
"Goten," said Trunks as he interrupted my thoughts "what are you staring at?"
I turned bright red. "Oh. Sorry. Didn't realize I was staring. I'll be right back" I said as I ran into the bathroom "Idiot" I exclaimed aloud. I got dressed into a pair of loose pj pants. I decided to wait till Trunks fell asleep. I didn't want to talk to him while he was exposed like that. "Kami. His hot" I said aloud.
I turned the handle cautiously and peeped through the opening. Trunks was asleep. I tiptoed out of the bathroom and walked towards my home-made bed. I stopped when I saw how peaceful he looked. I walked over to his bed, gave him a kiss on his forehead and said "Goodnight". He moaned. For a moment I thought he had awoken. Then I saw his eyes were still closed. I walked to my bed and got under the covers. That night I dreamt about his lips.
The sun shone on Goten's face as Trunks watched him sleep. It was nine in the morning. Trunks was never up this early on a Saturday. He gave up falling asleep ten minutes ago, because he would always see Goten grabbing Kim's hand and kissing her. He would awake angry and sad, but not knowing why. Why should I care if Goten likes Kim. It's not my business anyway thought a confused Trunks I wonder how his lips would feel against mine. Trunks eyes went wide with shock. What is wrong with me?
"Is everything all right?" asked a sleepy Goten.
"Yeah. Didn't want to wake you, breakfast?" Goten's stomach rumbled in response.
Trunks laughed. "I've got my answer. Let's go."
They walked down towards the kitchen, when they heard a familiar grunt.
"Brats" said Vegeta with a scowl. He was sitting at the table while Bulma made breakfast. Bulma turned around away from the stove with a grin so big it could rival the sons'.
"Goten, how have you been? It's been ages since I last saw you. You've grown into a handsome young man"
"I'm doing good," replied a blushing Goten "something smells good"
"You are exactly like your father. Right Vegeta?" asked Bulma. Vegeta grunted in response.
"Breakfasts ready" exclaimed Bulma as she placed three plates of overflowing pancakes in front of each saiyan. Bulma turned around to get her pancakes and then returned to the table. She only started eating when she noticed Goten patting his stomach.
"That was delicious Bulma. Thank you" thanked Goten.
"Yeah mom it was great" praised Trunks. Vegeta grunted his thanks.
"Ready to spar?" asked Trunks as he stood up.
"Sorry, I can't. I'm going out with," replied Goten checking his watch "I've actually got to get ready"
Goten left the table leaving Trunks dumbfounded. His ditching me for Kim thought Trunks.
"Sweetheart is everything all right?" asked Bulma.
"Everything's fine mom" Trunks smiled as he left the table. Bulma and Vegeta exchanged looks.
"Do you know what's wrong with Trunks?" asked a concerned Bulma "it seems there's something bothering him"
"I have my suspicions" answered Vegeta as he left for his morning training routine, leaving Bulma confused as to what might be bothering Trunks and why Vegeta was keeping it from her.
Gotens P.O.V
I went upstairs, got my things and went to the shower. The shower is my oasis. The hot water like needles against my skin and washes all my problems away. I turned the water off and got out of the shower. I grabbed the towel and began drying my hair. There was a knock at the door. "Goten?" asked an oddly nervous Trunks.
"Yeah. I'll be out soon" I answered. I finished drying my hair and myself and then got dressed. I opened the door and Trunks was right there. He looked as if something was really bothering him. "What time must you meet up with Kim?" he asked spitting her name out as if it were poison. I looked into his eyes with confusion in mine. "At ten," I said checking my watch "I better get going". I climbed out the window and flew towards the mall.
Trunks P.O.V
I can't believe he left me alone. He never even considered asking me if I wanted to go with. It has to be date I thought as I realized how I felt about someone else kissing Goten's lips. "Stop it!" I screamed as I hit a hole in my bedroom wall.
"What's going on here?" asked an obvious annoyed Vegeta.
"It's nothing dad. I'm fine" I answered as I calmed myself down.
"Does this have something to do with that brat of Goku's?" I looked at my dad speechless with fear. Could he know about my feeling towards Goten? No there is no feelings. "Trunks," continued my dad "if you have feelings for Goten don't be ashamed. I understand and your mother will understand. You can't choose who you love. Your mothers very worried about you I think you should tell her"
"Thanks dad for the support and all but I'm not gay" anger evident in my voice.
"You get your stubbornness from both your parents just don't wait for the last minute to tell him how you feel. If you tell anyone I helped you I'll kill you" he said walking out.
"I'm not gay" I punched the wall once again tears running down my face. I will not fell this way about Goten.
"It's about time" said Kim playfully.
"Sorry about that. Traffic was a bitch" Goten said laughing.
"I'm sure it was. Let's go" Now normally Goten would enjoy shopping, but today his heart just wasn't in it and after hours of shopping Kim noticed. "Are you all right? You don't seem yourself."
"I'm fine just beat. Let's sit down for a while"
"Ok there's a great spot" said Kim as she pointed towards a empty table. They sat down and put their shopping bags next to them.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" asked a concerned Kim.
"Not really. I slept by Trunks" as soon as Goten mentioned his name there was an evil glint in her eye.
"You know Goten I think you should give up on Trunks. I just don't want you to get hurt if he doesn't share your feelings"
"I really appreciate your concern, but I'm not expecting him to return my feelings"
"Ok. It's your life. I've got to go it's my dad's birthday and we taking him out," lied Kim "I'll see you at school on Monday" she said standing up and grabbing her shopping bags. Leaving Goten behind her she had time to plan her next move. This will be harder then I thought. I'll just have to confront Trunks during class. His kind of guy that cares about his reputation thought Kim but that's why I love him. He will be mine. I'm still wondering if it was a good idea to use Goten to get to Trunks. Then she noticed a store that she hadn't before. It was called Black Mage. She entered it intent on finding a way to make Trunks hers.
Gotens P.O.V
Monday at school-last period
I entered class late to find Kim sitting in my seat next to Trunks. I noticed Trunks had a ring on his left hands middle finger. It was a silver band with a black stone on it. Must be from one of his admires. I sat down in the empty seat next to Kim.
"Hey Goten. Do you like the ring I got for Trunks?" she said full of smiles.
"Hey Kim, yeah it's nice," I whispered "what are you doing sitting next to Trunks" I asked. Kim smiled at me slyly
"You will see soon enough" she said. I looked at her confused. Kim had never spoken to me that way before. She turned around and started talking to Trunks. I couldn't hear what was being said, but I caught one word that through me into despair. One word that will ruin our relationship. Forever.
Trunks stood up so quickly his chair fell backwards. Everyone looked at him, but he was only looking at me. "Is it true?" he asked me but he don't sound angry then he noticed everyone was looking at him and he slammed his fists onto the desk. It broke in two instantly. "Is it true?" he repeated but this time he snarled angrily. I ran in front of him.
"Please calm down Trunks" I begged.
"Answer me" he shouted as he lifted me up by my shirt collar. I looked into his eyes and I saw anger, but I also saw something else in his eyes. Hope. Could he really like me back, but then why is he acting like this. Before as well he never sounded angry and then he changed.
I gave in. "Yes, it's true. I'm in love with you" I said. The whole class gasped. For a moment he hesitated and for a moment I was hopeful.
"I'm not gay," he said throwing me throw the classroom window "leave now. I never want to see you again" Everywhere hurt from the shards of broken glass cutting me, but I could still fly. I looked into Trunks eyes for the last time and there was only disgust in them. I heard the gasps as i took off in front of everyone, but I didn't care. I started crying from pain and from Trunks words. I flew straight home, knowing dad would be training with Vegeta and mom would be grocery shopping. I ran to my room and got cleaned up. The tears rolled freely down my face. When I was finished I packed a backpack full of clothes and took all my savings. I put on the ring Bulma gave me and fled leaving a letter and my life behind.
