Chapter 2
::::
Goten turned to look at his friends, who were chatting loudly. Trunks was throwing his hands in the air, huge grin plastered on his face, as he tried explaining something to Akira and Leni.
Raven head looked around. Whole bus was busy with teenagers chatting and moving around. It's a matter of time before Mr. Piccolo- Goten's thought got interrupted as their homeroom teacher voiced his anger. "Shut your faces!" He roared through a microphone. Whole bus went completely silent. No one dared to oppose Mr. Piccolo. Officially. "I'd like to ENJOY this 24 hour hell in peace. You can talk, but just keep your decibels on low level."
After a moment of silence, soft murmurs were heard as teenagers began their disturbed chatting again.
Trunks snorted, he placed his hand on the chair in front of him and lifted himself to stand up.
Unconsciously Goten's eyes traveled to lavender haired boy's abdomen, just in time to see his tshirt move up dangerously high, as Trunks was pulling his backpack from the compartment above his head. He could see his toned abs muscles and raven head felt his cheeks warm up. The hell, I have seen him naked countless times, when we were kids. What is wrong with me?! Trunks sank back into his seat with his backpack on his lap. He started looking through things inside. Goten looked away, and his eyes fell on Leni, who was watching him curiously. The youth blushed even more and quickly averted his eyes. He looked over the window, when he felt a nudge in his side. He turned his head abruptly. Trunks was grinning at him while holing a bottle of whisky. Goten chuckled. Leni laughed and poked her friend, Jenn, who was seating next to her. Jenn stood up and turned around to face boys sitting behind her. She had curly short black hair and brown eyes. The girl smirked at Trunks. "I hope you have cups for that, crazy boy."
Trunks blinked at his bottle. "Oh damn, I knew I forgot about something." He cursed.
"No worries, mate." Akira broke in, pulling out a pack of plastic cups. "I got us covered." He smirked, while opening the package. Trunks undid the bottle, and looked expectantly at Akira, who just finished tearing a plastic bag. "How many people drink?"
"Me, Goten, Leni, Jenn, you and I suppose Jude as well?" Trunks looked at boy sitting next to Akira. Blonde haired youth nodded gingerly. "All right! Pour the shit, Trunks!" Akira hurried his friend while pulling one cup and shoving it in front of lavender head. Trunks started pouring golden liquid for their friends, full cups. "Oh damn, isn't that a bit too much?" Asked Goten a bit worried he might not manage to gulp all this at once. "Silly Chibi." Trunks shook his head. "It's a whisky; you don't drink it like shots."
"No way!" Leni jumped. "Goten doesn't know how to drink a whisky?" She laughed at that, and poor Goten just blushed furiously, mumbled something under his nose, making Leni laugh even louder.
"It's okay! Goten can take a lot of vodka, hell a lot of more than you guys can!" Trunks defended his friend. Raven head just looked at his friend and a shy smile graced his lips. Older youth grinned at him, giving him a cup filled with alcohol.
Soon they all were enjoying whisky Trunks brought. Girls drank it with coke, while boys enjoyed the clean taste (or struggled in some cases). Jude wasn't the whisky guy and he soon changed to drink it with coke as well.
Teenagers chatted and laughed, not caring for the rest of the bus. Even though they were the loudest, they were not the only ones who enjoyed tastes of different alcoholic beverages. As they enjoyed their company, they didn't see two girls making their way to the back of the bus.
"Trunks!" came a shrilling voice, making boys wince and look who was the harpy making the hellish sounds. It was Trunks' sister – Bra, accompanied by her friend Marron. "You're getting wasted already?!"
"Argh, lower your voice, woman." Trunks grimaced and took a sip of his drink.
"Oh God, I'm glad I'm not sitting here." Bra scowled and turned around, pushing Marron out of the way, storming to the front of the bus. Her friend just rolled her eyes at the drinking party and followed blue haired back to their seats. Bra may had Bulma's looks, but she was nowhere near as crazy as her mother, Trunks was the one to inherit whole crazy package from his mother as well as his father.
"Damn, your sister is hot. I bet your mum looked like her when she was younger." Akira grinned stupidly watching retreating girls.
"Stfu, idiot." Trunks growled and gulped more of his drink.
Goten looked around as he took in his surroundings. The loudest and naughtiest teens would sit at the end of the bus, far away from the teachers and drivers. But as you went to the front of the bus, things would change; well mannered and silent types sat there. Mr. Piccolo struggled to keep his temper intact and not to yell every two minutes at the delinquents at the back of the bus. Despite his earlier speech he was going to give them some freedom, as long as they wouldn't puke all over the damned bus.
A couple of hours passed and it was time for the first stop. They still had a long way to reach the border of their country, and the daylight was still very much visible. The doors of the bus opened and welcomed them to the cold and snowy view of a gas station.
Most of the teenagers took their coats and jackets and made their way to the public toilets. The ones that struggled the most to get there as fast as possible were of course girls. But it didn't matter as the queue to their toilet ran long already. It was always the same for some unexplained reason.
Trunks grinned eyeing long line of girls waiting for their time in solitude of dirty, public toilet. "This never ceases to amaze me…" He spoke, as he stuffed his hands in the pockets of his jacket. He wore a dark blue, puffy winter jacket, that was unzipped and there was a matching black scarf around his neck. Goten looked at his friend and couldn't stop the thought that formed in his mind: He always looks so damn good, no matter what he wears… Dark haired boy yelped suddenly as he comprehended words that his brain projected.
"What is it?" Trunks asked curiously.
"N-nothing! Gotta use the bathroom!" Goten smiled sheepishly and ran to the man's toilet, only to be surprised to see some girls occupied it as well.
Trunks just sighed and shook his head as he slowly made a way to the counter of the gas station. He planned on getting some snacks and more booze as they have almost ran out of those three bottles Akira and him brought.
As he made his way out of the gas station store he was greeted by slightly tipsy Leni and Jenn, who were chatting while jumping a bit to keep themselves warm. Trunks strode to them and smirked as they looked at what he was carrying in a plastic bag.
"My my, Trunks Briefs has a strong head. I wonder what else he has strong." Leni winked and Jenn giggled. Lavender haired youth just snorted.
Goten came out of the toilet and joined them. He was rubbing his hands hoping to make them a bit warmer.
"They had only cold water there…" He complained, while looking at his palms. Girls giggled some more and Goten looked at them confused.
"Don't mind them, they had enough of alcohol already." Trunks grinned at the two girls, who suddenly sobered and looked at him seriously. "Hell no, mister!" Jenn poked Trunks with her finger. "We're up for more!" Lina added putting her hands on her hips.
Trunks just blinked and looked at Goten who looked back at him too. Raven head turned to face now giggling and gossiping silently girls. They both were pretty, petite but rounded where you wanted them to be. He wasn't the tallest of the boys, but he wasn't short either, but Trunks was taller than him. Lavender haired was one of the tallest of the boys in their class.
"Ok, we're heading back, it's way too cold to just stand here." Leni said while eyeing two boys.
"Yeah, you're right." Said Goten and followed after the girls.
They have returned to the bus and Goten shivered while waiting for girls to climb up the stairs clumsily. He turned his head to look at Trunks, who seemed to be in a very good mood for some reason.
"You seem in a great mood today." Raven head smiled watching older boy turn to face him, a wide smirk on his handsome features.
"Yeah, why not? We're going on a trip with no parents, accompanied by some pretty chicks."
Goten just snarled and patted Trunks' shoulder. "Right, mate. I just hope you won't jump their bones, when drunk."
"Oh damn you, Goten, why so sulky?" Trunks shook his head. "I know what will make you feel better." He added slyly, as his arm made its way around younger boy's shoulders, making him blush unconsciously. But Trunks seemed to be oblivious how his actions affected raven head; his other shot up showing a bag full of liquor. "I'm going to waste you..." Trunks whispered, his face dangerously close to Goten's, who blushed even more, trying to wiggle out of Trunks grasp. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted with Mr. Piccolo's low growl. "Why are you two still here? Get on the bus!"
Both boys jumped and turned to look at the scary face of their homeroom teacher. They nodded silently and made their way to the stairs. Trunks let Goten go in first and as he was about to enter the bus, Mr. Piccolo grabbed his arm and yanked him closer to his body. "I know what you are doing, boy. I have my eyes on you." He had said slowly and then released confused Trunks. He pushed him to hurry up and get on the bus.
Still very confused Trunks pushed through crowded alley in between seats. For some reason, people loved to stand in the way. When he reached his friends he looked at Goten to see him staring out of the window; his face unnaturally red.
"Goten, feeling too hot?" Goten jumped at the question. Hot..? "Take of your jacket." Trunks placed shopping bag at his sea waiting for his friend to undress. Goten looked at him dumfounded. His brain was suggesting a rather queer thoughts. "Well? I don't have whole day." Trunks hurried his friend and watched as finally Goten had struggled out of his jacket in the small space provided. As soon as he was done, lavender haired grabbed his attire and stuffed it in the compartment above their heads. "Finally..." Trunks breathed as he removed his own jacket and placed it next to his friend's.
He plopped on the seat, shopping bag on his lap as he turned to Akira and Jude. "Round two, guys?" Trunks grinned and Akira returned with smile even wider. "What about the girls?"
"We're done for now…" came a painful growl from the seat in front of him.
"Yeah, I think I'm just gonna… take a nap." Jenn yawned.
"Ok, more for us!" Akira jumped happily.
After a while of drinking, playing card games and chatting, even Goten's mood lightened up. Four boys were having great time, even though they were severally times scolded by Mr. Piccolo for being too loud and obnoxious. He threatened them all with long and painful detentions if any of them puked in the bus.
Hours passed, and it was already dark outside, when their bus stopped at another gas station. Four friends struggled to get out; they were pretty intoxicated.
"Oh man, I think I'm gonna be sick..." Jude complained as he struggled to the metal fence nearby. He pressed his hand on it, his head down.
"Dude, if you need to puke do it far away from bus. We don't need that douche to see this." Trunks grabbed his friend and pulled him further down the road, hoping that Mr. Piccolo didn't spot them. Goten looked at their retreating figures. He wasn't sure if he saw two or four of them, his head was spinning a bit.
"That is some drinking we have..." Akira sighed and started unbuttoning his pants. Goten blinked at him eye wide. "What the hell man?!" He yelled when he saw his friend taking a leak here and now.
"Whaa?" Akira slurred. Goten just sneered and shook his head. But as soon as he did that he regretted it, as he swayed and had to take a few steps back in order to keep himself in vertical position.
Akira just laughed as he zipped his pants back. "You're wasted, maan..."
"Not as badly as Jude..." Goten muttered. "Where are they anyway? We're gonna be leaving soon." Goten and Akira looked around to see Trunks and Jude making their way towards them, slowly. Jude was leaning on Trunks shoulder. Suddenly Goten felt a painful stab in his gut, but as soon as it came, it went. He didn't know what to make of it, so he just ignored it. He's just drunk and tired... Trunks is helping him out...
"Hey, Chibi, help me out with him." Trunks groaned. Gotten smiled at his friend's nickname for him and strode closer to help him carry almost passed out Jude.
"He's gonna regret drinking so much tomorrow." Akira laughed.
"No only him, I bet." Goten chuckled as they all made their way back to the bus.
Once inside, Jude was safely placed on his seat and covered with his jacket. Akira slumped in his seat muttering: "I hope he won't puke on me at night..."
Most of the bus returned by then. Those that stayed behind in the bus were sound asleep. Leni and Jenn were not different. Goten looked at his crush while she slept and thought she looked really cute despite her drunken state.
"Come on, Chibi." Trunks called in a hushed voice. "I wanna sit, so move your ass." Goten jumped back to his place and looked at his friend sighing heavily as he relaxed in his own.
"Damn, now I feel tired... What time it is?"
"It's past midnight." Goten replied as he looked at the clock at the front of the bus.
"Meh... Not very late, but I guess all... *yawn* the amount of alcohol took its toll..." Trunks leaned and pushed some of his things in the bag attached to the seat in front of him, and closed up the table.
"Yeah, I guess..." Goten was feeling sleepy too, so he made himself more comfortable, thinking that he should've had packed a small pillow. He was still wearing his jacket, but he didn't think of taking it off. He will feel cold soon enough.
He turned his head to look at Trunks one last time. His head was tilted back and resting on the headrest, his arms crossed and legs slightly apart. His eyes were closed, as he relaxed. "Night, Trunks."
"Night, Goten."
Trunks woke up sometime later. His eyes heavy with sleep. An unpleasant taste in his mouth. He moved his head from what he assumed was a rather hard pillow, only to see that it was, in fact, Goten's head. Who on the other hand had placed his on Trunks' shoulder. Raven head was sleeping peacefully, his mouth slightly opened. Trunks stared at him for a while, wondering if he could move to grab his coke, or would it wake up his friend. He looks kinda cute like that...
As soon as the thought materialized in his head, he almost choked on his spit. The fuck did I just think?! He had stared wide eyed at his friend and he shrugged violently. Goten jumped surprised at the sudden movement. He looked around to see Trunks glaring at him. "Oh, sorry mate... I must have shifted at night." Goten scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly, as he struggled to keep his sleepy eyes opened.
"It-it's okay." came the answer. Goten turned his eyes away, he felt awkward and his cheeks started to heat up again.
"Damn, it's just 5am!" Raven head exclaimed trying to change the mood. "And I seriously need something to drink..." His eyes came back to Trunks. He would have to ask him to retrieve his backpack from the compartment above them.
"Yeah, me too." Trunks grimaced and slowly lifted himself from the seat not waiting for his friend's request. He pulled both their backpacks out and they decided to eat an early breakfast to calm down their stomachs and change the nasty taste in their mouths.
They ate in silence and after they were done, Trunks stuffed their things back to the compartment, excluding their drinks. Goten felt sleepy again, so he just rested his head on the cold window and looked at the trees passing them by.
Trunks rested his head on the seat and turned it slowly to look at his friend. He felt a tingling sensation in his belly and turned his head to look at the clock again. "I'm gonna take another nap." He sighed. "Me too." was Goten's reply, as he yawned and shifted to get more comfortable.
They fell asleep not long after.
Trunks' eyes fluttered open as he felt bus slowing down. He moved from his rather comfortable (as comfortable as you can get in the bus) position and realized it was now him leaning on Goten's shoulder. He blushed and thanked gods that Goten was still asleep. He cleared his throat, and poked his friend. "Hey, Chibi, we're stopping." He said gently. Since that didn't wake him up he started shaking his arm. Goten opened his eyes slowly and yawned. "Time?" He asked as he felt bus stopping.
"7:10"
"Oh, we didn't get too much sleep then..." Goten yawned again and rubbed his eyes. Trunks had to stop himself from staring. Damn, he is cute. He thought and soon after he cursed himself under his breath.
"Is everything okay, Trunks-kun?" Goten asked, his eyes innocent and sleepy.
"Y-yeah... Let's go, I want some coffee." He turned to wake up Akira and Jude. I don't get it, I know him my whole life, why thoughts like that now?! Trunks furrowed his eyebrows as he kicked Akira rather roughly on the leg.
"The fuuuck?!" Akira yelled and instantly regretted it, as he felt a painful throbbing in his head. "Oh man…. I will never drink again…" He whined.
"Ok, maggots!" Mr. Piccolo's voice roared waking up those who were still asleep, Jenn and Leni included. Girls stirred and groaned. "You have 45minutes for a breakfast. I want you to be back in the bus at 8am sharp!"
Trunks moved a bit in his chair, stretching his muscles and arms. Goten stole a glance at his friend, he had his jacket placed over his lap. He was wearing a V neck tshirt and a zip up hoodie. Trunks turned his head to look at his friend and smiled. "How's your hangover?"
"Oh, not bad, it was worse earlier, but now I'm pretty fine." Goten smiled back.
"Should we head out?" Raven head asked as he looked at all people crowding and slowly moving out of the bus.
"Yeah, let's just wait for them to leave…" Trunks said tilting his head to look better at Jenn and Leni struggling out of their seats. Also, he had another reason to wait, he sported a morning boner and he didn't want anyone to see him like that. He tried relaxing, he placed his arms behind his head and closed his eyes. He wore baggy jeans, and he was pretty sure no one would notice his condition, but he wouldn't want to take any chances.
"You ok?" He opened his eyes hearing his friend's voice. He turned his head to look him and saw concern in Goten's eyes. He looked very cute with his disheveled hair, evidence of his sleep. Goten looked a lot like his father and brother; they all had creamy skin, black, messy hair and dark eyes, eyes that shone with innocence. Trunks stared at his friend as if he saw him for the first time, slightly agape. Goten tilted his head to the side, his eyes questioning, he bit on his lower lip. Lavender haired eyes shot to that pouty mouth. He gulped loudly and tried to regain control. He looked away and just shrugged. "I need a coffee." Damn, it doesn't look like the boner will retreat anytime soon… God, I feel like a queer, finding my best friend attractive?! Trunks scowled and quickly stood up grabbing his jacket and putting it on.
"Let's go." He said not looking at Goten, he just hoped his friend didn't see the tent in his pants. He tried discreetly rearranging his problem, silently thanking gods that most of the bus was empty now, including his two friends, who stood just outside smoking. He started walking towards exit, not looking back to see if Goten followed. He probably did, he always did.
They went outside and strode silently to Jude and Akira. Their friends were enjoying a morning smoke. Jude looked very pale. He was definitely suffering from an enormous hangover. Akira took out a pack and offered a cigarette to Trunks who took it without a hesitation. Goten furrowed his eyebrows at that. He doesn't smoke... What the hell?
Akira held a lighter for Trunks and as soon as cigarette was smoldering, Trunks took a long drag. He scratched his temple while exhaling. I've got to keep it together. I'm just tired and didn't have a good lay in weeks. Yeah, that has to be that. He took another drag and looked up. "So, where are we?" He asked.
"It seems like we're in Germany still." Jude said looking around. "They said we should be in France by 6pm."
"That's more than 24hours ride." Goten pouted, while putting his hands in the pockets of his jacket. He was starting to feel cold.
"Yeah, so it seems, but what did you expect?" Akira laughed.
"Hm?" Raven head turned his head to look at his friend.
"What he means, is that we're driving in a piece of junk." Trunks stated.
"Oh…" Goten turned his head to look at their bus. "It doesn't look that bad…" He trailed.
"Yeah, right." Akira snorted. "With those awful sounds it makes whenever the driver tries to change gear to 5th? I bet there is more shit wrong with it besides that."
Goten looked a bit spooked out, making Trunks laugh. "Awww, come on Akira, you scare him!" Trunks embraced his friend's shoulders. Goten blushed furiously and looked at his feet. Trunks released him and threw his cigarette away, still grinning. His bad mood forcibly pushed aside.
"Ok, I'm going to grab a coffee, you guys coming?
"Yeah, I'm starving." Akira stepped on his cigarette.
Four friends made their way to the restaurant where all of their cassmates were probably stuffing their faces with german wursts.
Goten asked Trunks to get him something to eat and drink, and he went to use the restroom.
He put 50 euro cents into the machine next to the gate, so he could enter the toilet. He walked down the clean corridor; passed some people on the way and entered men's room. He went straight to the cabin to relive himself, as he pondered about Trunks' weird behavior in the bus. He had a great mood before; I wonder what made him so angry…
He sighed and went to wash his hands. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and let out an exasperated sigh. He tried brushing his hair, hoping they would look somewhat decent, but as always they refused to listen to him. He wished he had hair like Trunks. I bet it's very soft… GAH, man, stop thinking about stuff like that! He cursed and dried his hands with a paper towel angrily.
He found his friends sitting at a table, eating and drinking. Leni, Jenn, Bra and Marron joined them. They laughed at something and Jude winced, he put his head in his hands and lowered himself on the table. Leni patted his back and hugged him.
Goten moved his eyes to Trunks, who was leaning over the chair, his arm resting on the backrest of the nearby chair, and his right foot placed over his knee. He looked relaxed. Goten has realized the only empty chair left, was the one, Trunks' arm was resting on. He moved closer and smiled as lavender haired saw him standing by. Trunks returned his smile and removed his hand so Goten could sit.
"So, what did you get me?" Raven head asked while sitting.
"Some german burger shit."
"Lol, nice thing to eat for a breakfast." Goten sneered.
"Next time you can get it yourself." Trunks took a sip of his coffee and returned to the conversation their friends were having.
Goten dug in to his food not paying much attention to the laughs and giggles.
Time flied and they had to return to the bus. They discarded empty cups and walked back. Leni was leaning over Jude, who was looking slightly better than before. Goten tried ignoring his crush's obvious attempt on hitting on blond haired boy. He walked with his hands in the pockets, looking at the pavement.
"What's up, Chibi?" Trunks asked, slowing down to walk with his friend.
"Nothing." Goten muttered, but looked back at Leni, who was giggling at something. Trunks' eyes followed his stare. "Oh.." He said.
"Yeah." Goten sighed. He wasn't feeling very jealous; he tried convincing himself that he did, though. He had a feeling that if that was Trunks, he would feel worse than that. And he didn't like the idea. They continued they way in silence.
Once everyone was inside, bus drove off.
Goten sat down heavily, his backpack on his lap as he was looking through it for his gaming console. He wanted to play sometime in solitude, hoping to figure out his rather queer thoughts.
Trunks decided to take a nap, even though he had just drank a whole cup of coffee.
Teenagers were still somewhat tired and bus was silent soon enough. Many of them fell asleep, others read or listened to the music on their mp3 players.
Goten started one game on his console, earphones in his ears, and he tried to block out everything from the outside. As he pushed the buttons, he tried concentrating on the story in the game, but his mind would not listen, it wondered to the unwanted thoughts.
He turned his head to look at his napping friend. Trunks' head was tilted to the back, his face peaceful. He sure fell asleep fast… Goten thought.
He looked around to see what others were doing, Akira was reading and Jude was also napping. He turned back to lavender haired boy. He gulped as his eyes roamed his face. Trunks had his full lips slightly parted. They look soft… Grrr…. Goten scowled, but couldn't turn his eyes away. He was afraid if he didn't stop staring soon, he would do something he'd regret later.
"Hey, Goten!" Goten jumped hearing female voice. He turned abruptly to see Leni smiling at him. "Whacha doin'?"
"N-nothing." Goten blushed. See you idiot! You have to stop doing that! He scolded himself inwardly.
"Awww, Goten, sweetie. I know you were watching Trunks sleeping." Leni grinned. "You couldn't tear your eyes away from him." She teased.
"N-no! Shut up!" Goten panicked, feeling his pulse speed up and his heart felt like it was going to burst at any second.
"Teehee, it's okay, hun!" Red haired girl winked. "I won't tell him." She smiled.
"There is nothing to tell." Goten pouted and turned back to his game.
Leni just smiled as she returned to her seat. Goten is so adorable… She thought taking the romance book, she was reading earlier.
Goten spent the next couple of hours deliberately ignoring whole world and angrily playing on his gaming console.
By the time they arrived at the next stop, Goten was so consumed with his game, he didn't see the bus slowing down. Trunks nudged him suddenly, and raven head jumped. He quickly turned to look at the intruder wide eyed.
"Going out?" Trunks asked.
"Nah, I'm gonna stay." Goten looked out through the window to see snowy and cold looking landscape.
Trunks blinked surprised. "Oh, okay." He stood up, putting his jacket on. "Be right back, then." He said with a smile. Goten returned his smile, but as soon as Trunks turned to leave, he went back to his game; determined not to think.
As soon as everyone was back at the bus, they drove off, and Mr. Piccolo's voice could be heard: "We should be arriving in around 4hours, so no more stops."
"All right!" Trunks rubbed his hands. "Who's with me for a couple of rounds before we get there?" He grinned at Akira, who would never refuse. The boy beamed at him. Jude shook his head. "Count me out. I'm still feeling like a shit."
Trunks laughed at that, but made no attempt to push his friend. He leaned out of the sit and poked Leni. "Yo!"
"What, handsome?" Red haired smiled at Trunks.
"Wanna drink?" Lavender haired grinned.
"Sure!"
Jenn sat up in her seat. "I'm up for some too!"
"Okay!" Trunks turned to face Goten. "Chibi?" He had to poke him, since Goten was so into his game, he didn't see what was happening around him. "Hey, Chibi!"
"H-huh?" Goten turned removing his earphones.
"Booze?"
"Yeah, sure." Goten grinned. Idea of getting some alcohol in and relaxing seemed pretty appealing.
Akira provided more cups, as the old ones they used were discarded somewhere on the floor, along with other things like papers, gum wrappings, plastic bags and crisps' bags and everything else. They even managed to stain their seats in their drunken state before. Mr. Piccolo won't be happy when he sees that.
Trunks opened the bottle of vodka he got on their last stop and started pouring whole cups.
"Ok, now I'm positive you're supposed to drink vodka like shots." Goten raised his eyebrow when Trunks gave him a rather generously filled cup.
"Yep, but we don't have glasses for shots, so just try drowning as much as you can at one time." Trunks grinned. "You got something to drink it with?"
"Yeah, I have a fanta." Goten eyed clear liquid in his hand and returned to look at the rest of his friends.
Girls requested the 'drink' amount. Which basically meant they wanted a little of vodka to mix it together with a soft drink like a coke.
They had only one 0,7l bottle of vodka for five people so they wouldn't get wasted, but some might get pretty tipsy. Goten could feel his mind brighten up as the alcohol made its way though his veins, reaching his brain and signalizing that it's time to have fun. He let go of his inner battle and just went with the flow. He laughed at the silly jokes and comments Akira made, listened to Trunks describing their crazy escapades and rebellious acts, throwing in his two cents, enjoyed clean laughter Jenn and Lina graced them, while listening to the stories boys told.
Their last hours of the trip flew fast. They could see mountains covered with snow; steep and narrow road that led diagonally higher and higher. Soon they arrived in front of their accommodation.
"We're here!" Mr. Piccolo announced and some kids cheered. "I'm pretty impressed that none of you managed to wreck this bus on the way here, and I hope you will keep that… good behavior up throughout whole stay here." He paused while looking at something on the seat. "Alright, I have the whole list here and I'll be distributing keys, as soon as I get them from the reception. I have you all divided according to what you have suggested, consider me a saint. But if shit starts getting out of control, you WILL feel my wrath."
Soon enough everyone was outside gathering their things and waiting for Mr. Piccolo to give them their keys.
Jude was waiting by their small pile of things for the rest of the boys to gather remaining luggage. Goten came up with his snowboard and boots and sighed. "I guess those are all of my things." He looked to see Trunks closing in with his traveling bag and Akira following him carrying his snowboard.
"Are we set?" Jude asked.
"Yeah, so it would seem." Akira replied. "So now we have to get the key for our place."
"I'm gonna get it for us." Goten offered and when the boys nodded he went to look for Mr. Piccolo.
Their homeroom teacher walked out of the large building next to the parking lot. He looked through some papers while holding a bundle of keys.
Goten came up to him and smiled.
"Ah, Mr. Son, eager to get to the room to sober up?"
"W-what?" Goten stuttered surprised.
"Never mind, boy." Mr. Piccolo shook his head. "Let me see, you're to be… in a room… Ah yes, With Mr. Briefs, Mr. Kaneda and Mr. Colt. Here are two sets of keys to your apartment." He handed Goten the keys and looked at him with a angry glint in his eyes. "Behave."
"Sir, yes sir!" Goten smiled and ran back to his friends.
