Bonds through Trust

This fic starts a few years after the Buu saga. Bulma and Chi-Chi hang out as usual. Piccolo does what Piccolo does best. Gohan goes on with his life "cannon" and Goten and Trunks stay friends and spend their free time at the hide out.

At the hide out

"So what did you want Trunks, you asked me to come here with you to talk about something...right?" Trunks looked towards Goten and nodded.

"Yea about that, you see Goten we've been best friends for years now and I think I realized something the other day." Goten cocked his head to the side innocently and smiled.

"What is it, Trunks? You can tell me." Trunks sighed shyly as he inspected Goten's carefree face.

"Okay Goten, has anybody given you the talk yet?" Goten blushed shyly remembering the evil subject.

"Yea, I've been told it already. Trunks, you okay?" Goten frowned noticing the worried expression growing on Trunks' face.

"Goten, will you and I still be friends no matter what?" Trunks asked while walking over to Goten.

"Sure Trunks, we'll always be friends." Goten answered calmly. Trunks took a deep breath and squeezed his eyes shut.

"Goten, I-I think I love you!" Trunks squeezed out. Goten raised an eyebrow.

"What? I don't...understand." Goten stated confused.

Trunks sighed and sat down next to Goten. He put his hand over Goten's looking into his confused eyes and then leaned in and kissed him awkwardly. Goten's eyes widened and he roughly pushed Trunks away from him. "Trunks, w-what was that? Why d-did you kiss me for? That was gross!" Goten snapped.

"Goten I'm sorry, I-I didn't think I ... I can explain if you give me a minute too." Trunks tried to get closer to Goten, but Goten was already taking off through the window. "What did I do wrong?" Trunks asked himself before following Goten through the window. Within a few moments Goten made it home, shaken up and confused.

Son House

Inside the Son house we find Chi-Chi and Bulma talking about their husbands, when out of the blue Goten comes walking through the door and straight to Chi-Chi. "What is it sweetie? What's wrong?" She asked, feeling that something was wrong.

"It's T-Trunks. He told me he loved me. Then he kissed me." Goten answered, rubbing the taste of Trunks from his mouth.

"So, he finally kissed you?" Bulma asked, standing from her seat.

"Yes." Goten answered flatly.

"I thought so.." Bulma smiled and folded her arms.

"You're not mad? Trunks just violated my sweet little Goten!" ChiChi yelled. Bulma's smile grew

"Why would I be upset? I've been waiting a quite a while for something like this to come up." Bulma answered sitting back down.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" ChiChi asked calmly while looking at Goten and then back at Bulma.

"Well I've known for a while actually. Would you believe I've actually caught my little man kissing a picture of Goten in his room yesterday; he kissed it and put it under his pillow. I was really cute." Bulma said with a motherly smile on her face. ChiChi huffed

"And you're fine with all this?" ChiChi asked.

"Of course I am, why not? As long as two people love each other, I can care less if they're with the same gender or the opposite." Bulma laughed.

"Mom, what did Trunks really mean when he said he loved me?" Goten asked sheepishly. Chichi sputtered for a moment not knowing what to say, until Bulma cut in.

"He's in love with you kid, he likes more than just a friend." Bulma explained but got a death glare from ChiChi.

"I still don't get it.." Goten said quietly staring at ChiChi pleadingly. Bulma smiled kindly.

"Okay kid; let me try explaining it like this. Have you ever heard of a homosexual or someone using the word 'gay'?" Bulma asked evenly watching Goten think and his facial expressions change.

"Bulma that's enough, I don't want Goten hearing anymore about any of this!" ChiChi snapped in a worried tone. Goten raised an eyebrow.

"Grandpa talked to me about that a lot." Goten said quietly.

"Well kiddo, what if I told you that Trunks is gay?" Bulma asked but as soon as she revealed that, a frightfully dumbfounded look took over Goten face.

"B-but Grandpa told me it was wrong for boys to like other boys that way. He told me that they'll all go to hell. I don't want Trunks to go to hell!" Goten stammered getting panicky.

"Chi-Chi!" Bulma snapped giving her a stupidity look.

"It's my father Bulma, he's old fashioned. He must have said that to Goten thinking this would happen. He probably came to the conclusion that if Goten thought he'd go to hell for liking another boy. He'd avoid it. Too late for that.." ChiChi said placing her head in her hands.

"What's wrong with them being gay? It's their choice not ours. Who cares if they decide to like each other?" Bulma said sternly.

"I know and I guess I'm fine with it. It's my father that'll take a fit; he'd have a heart attack if he found out let alone Vegeta." ChiChi said with trepidation in her voice.

"Wait, I'm confused. I don't like Trunks like that; I'm his best friend sure but that's all. Even a brother but anything else is just gross." Goten said making fake gag reflexes.

"Goten, we understand your point of view on this but there really isn't anything wrong with it, it's natural." Bulma said reassuringly. Goten stood still for a moment and thought about it. "Not to be mean, but I still think it's gross" Goten said childishly sticking out his tongue.

"I guess you could say I'm happy that you're not gay honey. But Trunks doesn't seem to look so happy." ChiChi said pointing at the door to see Trunks standing there with tears in his eyes.
