This is a sequel to my other story: Lunar Pull Extended and Changed, though not necessary for you to read. :)
Important to note in case you didn't read the prequel:
**Gohan is female and with Vegeta**
Also, saiyans in this fic have tails and the Oozaru transformation does not exist. Tails are cool! ^ ^
Life was being exceptionally cruel to Goten. He stared on as perspiration lined his brow. 'Come on…. Come ON!' He kept thinking as hard as he could, as if he could somehow will it to be so.
He wasn't the only one. Many anxious eyes stared in the same direction as his. Wishing in their minds the same thing.
*tick*
The minute hand on the clock moved, then stop, indicating a minute had passed. The second hand however, seemed to move very, very slowly, as if mocking those who willed it to go faster. Goten exasperated. Every second seemed like an eternity. 'Soon… Just one more minute…'
Finally, the hour hand on the clock stroke 3 pm. Everyone collectively jumped and gathered their things in lightning speed.
Everyone just about ignored the teacher vocally dismissing the class. The bell had rung, that's all anyone cared about today of all days.
Goten ran out of the classroom and out of the school building. He made a big jump in excitement. "YES! Satan Celebration Week has begun!"
Satan Celebration Week is a holiday to celebrate Hercule's supposed defeat of Cell. It spanned a whole week where there were no classes and a lot of celebration. Goten was definitely going to take advantage of the time off.
He ran to his usual secluded spot to avoid being seen, and took to the air.
He flew at top speed. He was super excited to say the least. 'This week is going to be so awesome!'
It wasn't because that there was no school for a whole week, no. That was just a part of it. What really had him excited was that he was going to be able to spend an entire week with his best friend Trunks!
He grinned from ear to ear.
It had been difficult to spend time with him. High school took a lot of his time and Trunks was super busy himself.
Because Trunks was not only the son of a genius, but also a genius himself, he passed high school early and started college when he was only 15! Not only did Trunks have college that took up his time, but he was also forced to start taking up leadership responsibilities in his family's company, Capsule Corp.
But now there would be no classes and Bulma gave Trunks the week off from Capsule Corp too.
Goten reached the large dome shape building and landed on the lawn. Instead of heading to the front door, the young teen headed to a specific open window. The one belonging to said best friend.
He looked at the lavender haired teen. He was sitting at his desk deep in concentration. He hadn't noticed his arrival.
Goten decided to admire the boy in front of him, since his presence was unnoticed. He watched as the sun's rays shone through the window and illuminated the teen. Almost making him glow. His short and shiny lavender hair almost sparkled. Sky blue eyes that held such depth were framed by glasses as they moved from side to side as he read the paper in front of him. He was beautiful.
Truth is, Goten had fallen for him for a long time now. He loved the way he laughed. How his lips curled slightly more on the right side when he smiled and his eyes sparkled with tiny stars when he laughed. Oh, how he worked to illicit that smile from him.
He also loved how he was so incredibly intelligent, yet he always had the patience for his dense best friend. How he can be so strong, both mentally and physically, yet also allow himself to be vulnerable only when they were alone. They've been best friends since as far as Goten could remember and there were no secrets between them.
Save one.
The fact that he was in love with him.
It was something he wasn't sure he could ever tell him. If he said something and Trunks didn't feel the same, it would be a disaster! What if it ruined their wonderful friendship? What if it became awkward and they grew apart? Trunks never gave any indication that he may be attracted to guys. He had tried to breach that subject as subtilly as he could many times without actually asking, and from what he could gather Trunks was straight. So… how could he feel the same way about him?
All that was really left for Goten was to admire his love from afar. In the shadows.
He could stand there, admiring Trunks for ever. But it'd be best if he didn't push it. After all, what would he say if Trunks caught him staring at him… like that!
Reluctantly, he tapped on the window.
He was greeted by a warm smile and a gesture to enter, though trunks never lifted his gaze from the book.
He entered through the window and walked up to the desk. He made the terrible mistake to look at what Trunks was reading.
There were numbers, lines, letters, and shapes. It looked like a bunch of gobbledy goop on paper that made no sense. His head began to hurt. 'How can anyone understand that?'
Obviously Trunks could as his notebook had similar… writing? Drawing? What do you even call that?
He looked back at his friend who was still deep in concentration and scribbled stuff on the paper.
He knew Trunks could be awhile. An evil grin found it's way to goten's lips. With lightning speed, he snatched the textbook from the desk.
"Hey! What gives?" Trunks made an attempt to get his textbook back. "Give it back!"
Goten dodged the grab. "You'll have to get it from me first! Bwahahaha!" He fake laughed maniacally.
Grinning, Trunks took off his glasses and set them on the desk. "I'll get you!" He made another attempt to grab the textbook.
"If you can catch me!" He flew out the window. But before he could get anywhere he was tackled back to the ground. Though he held the textbook close to his chest.
"Are you gonna give me the textbook?"
"Nope."
"Oh really?"
Then Trunks started tickling Goten in his soft spot.
"No! Hahaha!" Goten tried vainly to protect his soft spot while still clutching the textbook. "Hahahaha! No faiiirrrr! Hahaha!
He was losing. "Okay! Okay! You win!" He gave up the textbook. Trunks had won.
With a triumphant grin Trunks rolled off of him. Goten continued laying on the ground smiling and panting heavily with his eyes closed.
Trunks sat as he watched Goten catch his breath. A beautiful smile was etched across his friend's face and his arm was covering his eyes. The bright sun made parts of his raven hair shine. 'Goten…'
How he longed to touch him. To feel him in ways that way passed the boundaries of friendship. To caress his milky white skin lovingly. He loved Goten. Has loved him for years.
But he hadn't the courage to tell him.
What would he say? How would he say that?
They've been best friends forever. He knew everything about his raven haired friend. He would have noticed if Goten liked him, and he obviously didn't.
He sighed and got up. "Let me put this textbook away. Then we can play some videogames before dinner."
Goten grinned and hopped off the ground. He stood much more of a chance to best him in their favorite fighting game. "I'll get it set up!"
…
It was late at night, yet the lavender haired prince could not sleep. A blush ran across his cheeks as he forced himself to stare at the ceiling to avoid shifting his gaze toward the object of his anxiety.
Laying right beside him with an arm around his waist and head against his shoulder, was Goten.
There was a mattress set out on the floor beside his bed meant for the raven haired boy, but they had been too excited at spending the night together that they stayed up way late just talking and watching videos on his phone. Before he knew it, Goten had fallen asleep beside him.
He looked so peaceful and beautiful. His chest rising gently up and down, his face relaxed. Trunks didn't have the heart to wake him, so he let him be and got ready to sleep himself.
All was fine till Goten snuggled against him and placed an arm around his waist while still asleep.
It was a rather confusing predicament. He was happy for the close proximity of the boy of his affections, yet distressed at Goten's possible reaction. He was elated by the position, yet scared shitless at being discovered with his current hard on.
Matters became worse when Goten's tail coiled around his left thigh while his friend let out a contented sigh and snuggled closer.
'Crap, crap, crap, crap…' He mentally repeated. Things couldn't get any worse. Right?
He should have known better.
It became way worse when Goten's leg lifted on his as he snuggled closer and grazed his bulge.
"Aaahh!" He screamed, jumped and fell out of the bed.
Goten bolted awake. "WHAT WHAAT! What happened?!" He was usually a heavy sleeper, but Trunks surprised scream had gotten through even him.
Hearing a groan to his right, Goten looked at the tangle of sheets were his friend had fallen out of the bed.
Blinking in confusion, he then smiled in amusement. "Hahaha! I thought I was the one who tossed and turned around while I slept! At least I've never fallen out of my own bed!" he remarked, poking fun at his best friend.
"Very funny Chibi." He said as he gathered the sheets, strategically keeping a bundled heap that covered his crotch area. The last thing he wanted was for Goten to seen the tent he was sporting in his boxers.
Goten proceeded to stretch on his bed, then got up to lay on his own mattress. "Well, warn me before you fall on me." He teased.
"Don't worry, I'll be sure to give you a head's up before I squash your tail." He shot back.
"One time! One time eleven years ago and you're still holding onto that?"
He couldn't help but laugh at the memory. Goten joined him.
"Well anyway, good night Trunks."
"Good night Chibi."
'This is certainly going to be an interesting week.' He thought to the ceiling.
