Things you need to know!
This is before 17 and 18 r androids and they are 14 years old at this moment same as Gohan, and they have different names 17 is named Patrick and 18 is Paullina. Cell does not exist till Gohan is older and Goten and Gohan are twins, I know I screwed up the whole plot to the show but hey this is an AU.
(Gh/17) 17 is the dominate.
"Owwwwww," Gohan whined. Patrick looked down at the whimpering Gohan on the ground. He sighed as he rolled his eyes, Gohan could be a weakling when it comes to sparring.
"Aw come on Gohan it's just one lousy scratch," He stated as he sat down in front of him.
Gohan pouted and looked and at him, his face resembling the little boy he once was at the age of four. Patrick smiled.
"Just a scratch...JUST A SCRATCH!" He shoved his forearm in Patrick's face, showing a very bloody gash, "How would you like it if I shoved my sword into your arm and see how much you can bleed."
He stood up, still holding his arm, and walked away.
"Gohan come on!" Patrick ran towards the still pouting boy, "you know for a fact you got way worse then this."
Gohan mumbled under his breath.
"Excuse me,'' Patrick strained his ear to hear, "What was that?
Gohan humphed and turned his head while he kept walking. He stopped by a stream and washed out the gash, making sure to clean it thoroughly to prevent bacteria from getting in.
Patrick watched him from a near by tree. What, it's not like he meant to ruin Gohan's 'Perfect' arm, but at least he's not crippled form it either.
He heard someone touch down on the grass softly, he turned around to see his twin sister, Paullina, descend from the sky.
He looked at her with questioning blues as he wiped away his semi long black hair away from his eyes.
Pauline didn't say anything as she watched Gohan wrap his arm in part of the shirt that he torn off, leaving him topless.
"Looks like Patrick couldn't handle some rival, he went to kill his opponent instead," She said as Gohan walked up to them, giving Palina the view of the gash.
She started to laugh as Gohan nodded thusiastically and Patrick humphing while crossing his arms.
"You guys are making a bigger deal out of this than there are already is. If you want to complain about a silly scratch then to what a villain could do then fine."
Gohan rolled his eyes, "Oh Pa-lease! You've been talking crap about villains ever since we were very young and still there's no sign of them."
Patrick scowled, "Well what's the use of your stinky saiyan powers when you don't exercise them, may I remind you that you're the one who wanted to use the swords today. I wanted to see how much you could progress this time, but nooooo. So basically it's you're fault for the gash," he said pointing to the blood seeping through.
Palina shook her head, "Goku wanted to see Gohan but we should really get that to stop bleeding, I mean you could die!" She over exaggerated the last part.
"Oh my Gosh don't even joke about it," Gohan was very queasy when it comes to death.
Patrick sighed, "Fine we'll get our stuff and meet you back at Gohan's house.''
Palina eyed him suspiciously; the same blue's staring at one another, asking a question only her and her brother knows the secret of. As Gohan walked away to retrieve his stuff, Patrick took a deep breath and nodded.
Her eyes seemed to relax and actually sent a smile to his way, very unlikely of her.
She brushed her blonde hair back and jumped into the sky.
Patrick turned around to see Gohan lying on the ground.
"Wow you seem to be in a hurry to die,'' He laughed as Gohan looked up scowling.
"You guys are to mean," he rolled over, his back facing Patrick.
Patrick seem to feel guilty about this, he hated to make Gohan mad.
"Gohan...," He sighed, "Gohan look at me." His voice seemed to carry some nervousness, which made Gohan turn around.
Patrick looked at the eyes that he had totally...fallen in love with. Everything bout Gohan he grew to love.
First he was scared when he found out he was remotely attractive to him at the age of 8, but as the years progressed, so have his feelings, and the more he grew to accept them.
Paullina caught him while he was staring at Gohan from a distance and pulled him to the side and asked him. He told her, and to his complete surprised she was trying to play cupid. She tried several times but Patrick was way to scared that Gohan would reject him. This though, this time he was ready for what ever Gohan's reactions may be.
So here he was, staring at Gohan, hoping beyond hope that Gohan would love him to
Gohan sat up, "Patty?" Patrick's heart fluttered as he called him by the nick name Gohan gave him ever since they had met, he would kill anybody who would called him that but Gohan, "Are you ok-"
"Look Gohan I really don't know how to say this, but, umm..." He put his head down, his hair casting a shadow over his eyes.
Gohan brought his hand to lift his chin. Once Patrick saw those eyes, he found his courage once again. He grabbed Gohan's hand and brought his own hand to caress Gohan's cheek. Gohan held back a gasp.
"Look Gohan, I have to tell you, I might actually dieyaaa-I mean, um, I would be sad for the rest of my life. I would have to watch you from the distance, knowing that. That...um t-that...you'll...never be mine." He said the last part in a slow whisper.
"What? Say that again." Gohan laughed.
Patrick lips pursed together as he demanded himself to just let it go, "Gohan. I like you. A lot"
Gohan didn't understand. Gohan was about to say something but Patrick didn't let him reply, he jumped in. He started to lean forwards. Gohan swallowed hard and closed his eyes not leaning in, but not pulling away just waiting, listening to the whisper words that jolted his heart,
"Gohan, what I'm trying to say is...that...I Love you, I have for a long time."
Gohan opened his eyes. He looked scared as he saw 17 lean in more.
Lips so close, just a hair away, but Patrick felt Gohan's hands against his chest. Instead of those hands holding him close, he could feel them resisting. Patrick looked at him sadly, but Gohan looked down.
"Hey Boys!"
They both separated quickly. Patrick sighed and stood up just in time for them to see Goku descending.
Goku landed as saw both boys looked upset.
"Did I come at a bad time?"
Gohan looked at his father and coughed, "Um, sort of."
"Oh im sorry," Goku said. He was a little suspicious. Wanting to get rid of the silence that took place not long after, Goku spoke up again," Gohan I was looking for you, did you get my message?"
Gohan's head shot up, "Oh yah, sorry dad, I um forgot, I kind of got distracted,'' Patrick bit his lip, he was beginning to feel tears.
He started to walk away, "I'll see you guys later," He mumbled miserably.
Gohan bit his lip, wanting to stop him, not knowing what to say, more like what to say in front of his father. Instead he just stood there watching Patrick fly away. For some reason their first flying lesson together popped inside his head.
'I'll see him tonight, we'll straighten things out.
Patrick laid there in his bed. It was night time and Patrick couldn't seem to get to sleep. Um maybe because his heart was hurting.
'He doesn't feel the same!' he screamed at himself. All the doubts in his head were starting to come true. He couldn't help it they just popped inside his mind. He remembered Gohan's face.
Patrick Groaned and buried his head into his pillow.
Once he got home, his sister tried to know what happened, but he just went straight to his room and slammed the door in her face.
Paullina knew not to bother him.
Tears were trying to escape, but he wouldn't let them. He was so scared, and he couldn't face Gohan again. Gohan would be the only one to make him this scared. He wouldn't live if ever saw the disgusted look.
He groaned in sorrow.
He then heard the window opened rapidly and heard a loud breaking noise under the pressure of a body, "Ow!"
He sat straight up in his bed. He saw the back of the figures back as they were wiping off the dust and stuff off their pants. He already knew who it was.
When the figure turned around he went stiff.
Gohan saw Patrick and swallowed, "you closed the window?" Gohan asked, trying to be casual.
He climbed on the bed and sat next to his best friend.
Patrick swallowed, but kept his face neutral, "Well yah, it seemed like there was no reason to keep it open."
"oh." Was all Gohan said.
"Why are you here?'' Patrick's voice felt so cold. Gohan winced.
"I needed to straighten some things out." Gohan looked him in the eyes.
"What's there to figure out, you don't feel the same. We can forget it now." Patrick folded his arms and looked away.
"Don't do that pat." Gohan said firmly, "don't act like it's nothing. Yes I may not be able to return the feelings but…you're my best friend…I can't lose you."
Patrick sat silently; he would rather be rejected then to hear Gohan say that.
Patrick sighed. He leaned over and hugged Gohan.
He wasn't surprised to feel Gohan stiffen, but Patrick needed to hold him. Gohan relaxed some and started to hug back.
Patrick let go and moved a few peices of hair from Gohan's eyes.
He sighed once again, "i dont know what to do now, Gohan, it's everything to me, your everything to me."
"I'm sorry...but how do you expect me to react! my best friend from all these years confessing something extremely forbidden for me to even accept! i dont know what to do..."
patrick felt tears again, "are you disgusted?" he whipsered.
Gohan paused, but answered truthfully, "surprisingly I'm not... it didnt mean to come out that way." Gohan said, starting to feel tears himself.
"actualy, im srry for just dumping this on you. i should've known. i dont regret it though, but we cant just act like this didn't happen gohan."
"I know. it's going to be very awkward for awhile, we'll get used to it. please tell me we're still friends?" Gohan's fear showing.
"I should be asking you that." patrick chuckled.
"so I take that as a yes..."
"of course."
both friends smiled. both scared, and one extremely confused. not knowing what to do after that. Gohan said his goodbye's and left the way he came.
Patrick couldn't take anymore. after he cried for along time. He vowed never to let this slow him down. he will get what he wanted.
