Rift in Time

A/N: Italics represent thinking

It was all so clear... I thought I had it figured out. We could be friends, forever, yea, just him and me. Best buddies forever... but he told me

something that affected our friendship, and I don't think turning back is an option.

-FLASHBACK-

Goten walked over to Trunks, eyes glossy, gaze focused only on his friend. His lip began to tremble and he managed to croak, "I have something I'd like to tell

you, Trunks." Goten took a deep breath and continued, "I don't remember how it started for me, or when... but something happened. Something about you,

the way I looked at you, changed. Trunks I..." Goten stared into Trunks's deep blue eyes, still uneasy. Trunks walked up to Goten and placed his hands on his

friend's shoulders and said, "Relax... just tell me what's wrong. I'm sure whatever it is, it could always be worse." Goten said, "Trunks, I'm in love with you."

Trunks stared at his friend, eyes wide in disbelief, before shaking his head and clenching his fists and saying, "No, you're joking. You have to be, right Goten?

It's just a joke right...." Trunks pleaded. Goten shook his head slowly and Trunks began to back away. "How, could you love me? I'm your best friend..."

Trunks stared at his friend in disbelief.

A lone tear escaped Goten's eye, making it's way down his cheek before he responded, "I love you with all my heart and no matter what happens, I don't

think I'd be able to live without you."

Trunks gritted his teeth and then turned and took to the sky. Goten dropped to his knees, tears beginning to well up, escaping one by one down his cheeks.

"Trunks!" Goten yelled one last time, before breaking down again.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

Trunks flew at top speed as far away from Goten as he could. Thoughts raced through his mind, confusing him and sending a wave of rage that wracked his

entire body. He stopped in mid-air and powered up and fired several energy blasts at the forest below him. "Goten, why?!" he yelled, and continued firing

blasts at a blinding speed, destroying everything in site. He clenched his fists, finally relieved of some rage, and shut his eyes. He took a deep breath and let the

cool breeze touch his cheeks. "My best friend Goten is in love with me, but I like women..." Trunks sighed and soared towards Capsule Corp. at top speed.

"Goku you go get your son right now! Where is my baby boy? It's past dinner time and he's still not home! Goku I'm telling you..." Chichi yelled. Goku

scattered and ran out towards the door. He opened it quickly and found that Goten was standing there. Goku sighed in relief and then said, "Goten welcome

home!" Goten looked up and gave a fake smile, before walking slowly into the kitchen and then towards the stairs for his room.

Goku furrowed a brow in confusion and whispered, "Goten...?" Chichi heard the commotion and was quick to greet Goten. "I was worried sick, where have

you been?" Chichi exclaimed. Goten looked at her and said, "I was with ... T..Trunks" He choked on the name. The thought alone made the tears come. He

turned away and walked up to his room, closing the door behind him.
