He frowned, unable to sleep despite his tiredness. The heat of both bodies beside him was tempting, making him want to cuddle to them and let the sleep claim his mind, but he couldn't stop thinking.
It was a simple plan. After the winter, his other self went all sex crazed and decided that they'd claim his best friend as mate, but he, the older self, stopped the brat. It wasn't like he opposed the idea, quite the contrary; he was very attracted to the black haired teenager, but he knew it could destroy the friendship between his younger self and the boy and make Goten feel used, so he had to think about a plan for it to work.
He understood Trunks' urge to include him in everything he did, not wanting the older version of himself to be isolated or alone; they're one, after all. The main problem was that beautiful best friend of his. The boy was quite shy and sweet, and he, Mirai, became attached to him at first sight. The good thing was that Goten thought about him as a part of his Trunks as well, so it would be easier.
They invited him to help in a fake spring cleaning. His brat self was a disorganized bastard, so it was easy to convince the boy that his help was needed. They've done everything possible to seduce him, even touched him longer than necessary, flirted with him and complimented him in everything he did! But he didn't seem to have a clue. They were almost giving up their plan when Goten decided it was too late for them to continue the cleaning. But when Trunks asked if he wanted to spend the night, they had the shock of their lives.
"Aren't you done with trying to seduce me?" Came the malicious reply. He had no idea Goten could be anything but sweet. He was dumbfounded.
"Er… you see…" His younger self tried to amend the situation, failing miserably.
"It's true. We were trying to seduce you." He said, sighing dramatically. "We're sorry."
The equally malicious smile on the black haired boy's face was enough to scare him. Was that really the Goten he knew?
"Maybe I liked being seduced." Came the reply.
"Maybe we should continue then." He said, not needing to look at Trunks to know the boy was also in shock.
"Maybe you should."
He smiled when his brat version attacked the boy's mouth, giving him no chance to say otherwise. The plan had still worked as expected.
"Go to sleep, Trunks. You think too much." Came the sleepy voice next to him, bringing him back to the reality. "Don't be so shocked. You may not be my Trunks, but you're a Trunks nonetheless. I know you."
He liked the way Goten called him by his real name, but still couldn't understand what had happened. Had they really seduced Goten or was it the other way around? He guessed he'd never know…
