Son Home

Goten turned toward the door to see Trunks bowing his head in shame. "Goten, I'm sorry you don't feel the same way I do and I'm sorry you think I'm gross. I hope we could still be friends." Trunks said wiping the unshed tears from his eyes.

"Trunks, umm I don't really care if you're...you know. But I'll always be your friend." Goten said slowly walking toward him.

"I'm sorry if I messed things up; it's just that I've been thinking about this for a while. So I couldn't help it." Trunks said shyly stepping closer toward Goten, while Goten backed away. "What is it, Goten?" Trunks asked advancing toward Goten again.

"Trunks, it's gonna be kinda weird knowing that you like me." Goten said taking a step closer toward Trunks. Trunks sighed.

"I guess I shouldn't have kissed you, sorry you don't feel the same. But I don't plan on giving up hope any time soon." Trunks said quickly grabbing his Chibi in a tight hug.

"You're not gonna try to kiss me again are you?" Goten asked prying himself from Trunks. Trunks blushed.

"Not if you don't want me to." Trunks said cheekily.

"Well I'd like to stay and chat but I think it's time we head on home, Trunks." Bulma said standing from her seat and collecting her things. "I'll call you later Chi-Chi, bye Goten." Bulma and Trunks said as they walked out of the Son home.

"Wait, Goten you want to come over tonight and hang out? We can talk more or bug my dad if you want." Trunks asked before Bulma could shut the door.

"Sure he can, but he'll head over later. Okay?" ChiChi said before Goten could answer.

"Cool, I guess I'll see you later Chibi." Trunks said shutting the door behind him. Goten frowned at the nickname.

"Mom, I hope he doesn't expect me to like him back." ChiChi sighed and gave Goten a motherly hug.

"No, I just think he's hoping that you'll consider it." ChiChi said rubbing his back. "Go on and get your stuff ready for tonight, while I get you something to eat." ChiChi said kindly.

Bulma's ship

Trunks sighed while looking out the window, watching the clouds fly by. But now the awkward silence was getting to him. "So how long have you've known?" Trunks asked in a disappointing voice.

"Well to be honest, I think everybody kind of already knew. I mean, besides Goten and your father maybe. It wasn't hard to see." Bulma said turning to Trunks and smiling.

"How could you tell?" Trunks asked abandoning his cloud watching to look at Bulma.

"Well for starters, you're always eyeing him up; and you're overly protective of the poor kid. Not to mention how territorial you can be of him." Bulma said as Trunks shrunk in his seat. "Don't you remember that neighbour boy from Mount Paozu you found playing with Goten?" Trunks slid further down his seat.

"No…" Trunks responded, while Bulma huffed.

"Well do you remember beating him up for daring to play with your Chibi?" Bulma said while putting emphasis on the word 'your'. Trunks had the modesty to blush.

"Dad's going to kill me when he finds out, right?" Trunks asked scarcely.

"Don't know, we'll just have to try and not tell him." Bulma said calmly trying to calm Trunks' worries. "Trunks honey, please don't get your hopes up too high. I don't want you to hurt yourself over this." Trunks sighed "And another thing, don't you ever let anybody make you feel bad for being gay!" Bulma said in a proud uproar. Trunks quickly looked annoyed.

"Mom let's get something straight here, I'm not gay. The only boy I like is Goten; he's the only boy I'll ever like. Besides, I like girls too you know" Trunks pouted crossing his arms childishly. Bulma laughed.

"That just means your bisexual." Bulma said to the now pouting Trunks.

"What do you mean?" Trunks asked.

"It means you swing both ways, you like both girls and boys" Bulma said as Trunks pondered.

"I guess I could live with that." Trunks sarcastically stated before looking back out the window. Bulma sighed and shook her head. There was nothing but silence the rest of the flight home.

Capsule Corp

Bulma landed her ship after the four hour flight from the Son residence to CC. "Okay kiddo, we're home." Bulma said capsuling the ship. Trunks smiled and ran for the CC main entry.

"Can't wait till Goten gets here, we really need to talk." Trunks said nervously before turning toward Bulma. "Hey mom, what's for dinner?" Trunks asked slickly changing the subject.

"I'm not sure; I'll have to see what have." Bulma answered while opening the door to find Vegeta leaning against the wall, staring straight at Trunks.

"Ah... what's up dad?" Trunks asked with noticeable fear lacing his voice.

"Your annoying little brat of a friend has been here for nearly an hour and won't leave." Vegeta said with no emotion showing on his face.

"Goten's here?" Trunks asked with a smile on his face.

"He's in your room, and he's already eaten just about everything in the fridge. The boy wouldn't quit pestering me, so I sent him to your room." Vegeta said sternly. Bulma let out a long sigh.

"Well I guess I've got some shopping to do, I'll be back boys." Bulma said with a huff, throwing the capsule, and taking off again.

"I'm going to go play with Goten." Trunks said shutting the door and running up the stairs to his room. Vegeta just bit his lip and left to go train.

Trunks' room

Trunks ran straight for his room and entered to find Goten asleep on his floor. "Silly Chibi" Trunks thought to himself before bending down and tugging on Goten's shoulder.

"Wake up Goten, we need to talk." Trunks said as Goten sat up rubbing his eyes.

"Hey, I was having a good nap. Why'd you wake me up?" Goten asked with a yawn. Trunks rolled his eyes.

"We need to talk about what happened earlier." Trunks helped Goten to his feet.

"What, you mean about you being gay and having a crush on me?" Goten asked with another yawn as he stretched. Trunks sighed.

"First, I'm not gay. I so happen to like girls too." Trunks said crossing arms in a cheap imitation of Vegeta.

"Doesn't that mean you're a free-bird?" Goten asked walking over to Trunks' toy box and grabbing a toy to mess with.

"What?" Trunks asked walking over to see what Goten was grabbing. Goten turned and looked at Trunks timidly.

"Grampa once told me that people have three sex interests. First, you have straight people like me, who only go with the opposite sex. Second, there are gay people, who go with the people of the same sex, and third, you have people that go with people of both sexes. But Grandpa said that if you you're not straight you'll spend the rest eternity in hell." Goten paused at that and sighed. "But I don't really want to believe that." Goten raised an eyebrow at the speechless expression plastered all over Trunks' face. "What's wrong? Was it something I said?" Goten joked.

"Um... who are you and what have you done with Chibi?" Goten frowned at the nickname again.

"Geez Trunks, I'm eleven, not five." Goten said sarcastically.

"Sorry, just thought I'd have to explain it to you like always. This actually saves me some time." Trunks said with an awkward smile.

"Okay let's talk." Goten said, sitting back down on the floor alongside Trunks. "So how long have you had a crush on me?" Goten asked breaking the ice and examining the toy he grabbed.

"I really don't know for sure, but lately it's been really different around you. One day a thought came to me about you being cute." Goten made a gross face. "It confused me so I asked the councillor at my school and we talked about it. When we were done I figured out that I liked you, and that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you." Trunks blushed and looked away from Goten.

"Trunks, I know you like me and I understand it's natural, but I don't like you that way." Goten said causing Trunks to frown. "Now, don't get me wrong, I love you, but not that way. You're my best friend, the brother from a different mom." Goten grabbed Trunks' shoulder turning his frown into a half smile.

"Thanks Goten, thanks for understanding." Trunks said hugging Goten.

"Trunks, promise me you won't ever kiss me again." Goten said, pulling away from Trunks.

"Promise." Trunks said with a smile.

"Thanks." Goten said kindly. Trunks sighed getting annoyed with the awkward silence.

"So, do you want know why?" Trunks asked cautiously.

"Why what?" Goten asked raising an eyebrow. Trunks smiled.

"Why I like you?" Trunks answered.

"Not really" Goten retorted. Trunks looked offended and Goten regretted his answer. "Trunks, can we talk about something else, please? This is getting weird..." Goten asked pleadingly. Trunks frowned for a moment but quickly changed to his imitation of Vegeta's grin.

"So are you entering this years tournament?" Trunks asked excitedly.

"Of course I am, we've been training forever for it." Goten answered giving Trunks a stupidity look.

"I hope they don't have the children division this time, besides fighting you it was boring. Even if I won the whole thing." Trunks said smirking at Goten.

"That's only because you cheated, if you wouldn't have transformed you'd of lost and you know it" Goten pouted. Trunks just laughed at his expense though on the inside he was enjoying his Chibi's pouting face. "I'm going all out this year, Trunks, and I'm gonna win!" Goten challenged.

"Oh yea?" Trunks challenged back playfully before they both started laughing.

"BOYS! Come down for dinner." Bulma yelled up the stairs at the boys, since she chose to order out than shop for food.

Dinner

Bulma smiled at the hurricane of orange and green flying down the stairs. "Finally you two, what took you so long?" Bulma joked. Goten and Trunks looked at her quizzically and shook their heads. "Alright boys, wash up and the sit down." Bulma commanded pointing toward the sink. The boys complied and did as they we told before siting opposite the table. Trunks by Vegeta and Goten by Bulma.

"Thanks for dinner, Mrs. Bulma." Goten chirped happily already through his third piece of pizza. Bulma smiled.

"So boys, did you have your talk?" Bulma asked curiously.

"I'll tell you about it later." Trunks answered quickly.

"What talk?" Vegeta asked turning from his book.

"It's none of your damn business" Trunks mumbled.

"What was that?" Vegeta asked raising his voice.

"I said its nothing" Trunks said nervously.

"I know when you're lying to me son." Vegeta said giving Trunks his grin.

"Drop it Vegeta, it's none of your concern." Bulma said taking a sip of her coffee.

"Fine." Vegeta huffed turning back to his book.

"Goten take your time eating, or you'll get a tummy-ache." Bulma said watching Goten stuff his face.

"All done" Goten said happily patting his stomach.

"That was quick." Trunks said while everyone laughed...well... everyone excluding Vegeta.

Trunks room Bedtime

A few hours later we find our Demi Saiyans getting ready for bed. "So what do you want to do tomorrow?" Trunks asked while taking out his pyjamas his dresser.

"I don't know." Goten said as Trunks began to strip out of his clothes, causing Goten to quickly turn around.

"Geez Goten, we have the same stuff, you don't have to look away." Trunks said with a smile in his face. Goten ignored him. "You can look now." Trunks huffed, jumping into his bed.

"Trunks, can you turn around, please?" Goten asked shyly.

"Fine." Trunks huffed while rolling his eyes. After a few moments, Goten was in his pyjamas, sitting on the floor.

"Okay boys, time for bed." Bulma said entering the room. "Here you go, Trunks." Bulma said tossing Trunks a pillow.

"Thanks I guess." Trunks said annoyed eyeing Goten.

"Goten, what's up?" Bulma asked looking down at Goten.

"Mrs. Bulma can we go somewhere and talk?" Goten asked sheepishly.

"Sure." She answered in an concerned voice walking off with Goten. "I'll be back in a minute Trunks." Goten said uncomfortably. Trunks shrugged his shoulders and watched Goten leave.

"Wonder what's up?" Trunks thought to himself.

With Bulma & Goten

"So what's up kid?" Bulma asked as she watched Goten sit on her bed.

"Can I use a sleeping bag tonight?" Goten asked as Bulma gave him a concerned look.

"Why, don't you want to use the bed with Trunks?" Bulma asked.

"Sorry, I just don't feel comfortable sleeping next to him like that anymore." Goten said standing back up.

"Sure Goten, I'll grab you a sleeping bag for tonight." Bulma said, now concerned.

Trunks' Room

After a few moments Goten returned holding his sleeping bag. "What's with that?" Trunks asked confused.

"I'm sleeping on the floor tonight." Goten answered causing Trunks to frown.

"Why? Don't you trust me?" Trunks asked sounding hurt.

"No, it's not that. I...don't feel comfortable sleeping next to you anymore." Goten said apologetically while unfolding his sleeping bag on the floor. Trunks sighed and climbed under his covers.

"Sorry Trunks" Goten said quietly crawling into his bag and rolling over to get comfortable. "Good night, Trunks."

"Night Goten."

A few hours went by and everyone was fast asleep... almost everyone. Trunks was startled awake by the sound of Goten tossing and turning in his sleep. It also sounded like he was sniffling but Trunks couldn't tell. "Come on Goten, go to bed already." Trunks said now sitting up in his bed rubbing his eyes. Though annoyed Trunks couldn't help but frown at the sight of the sad and troubled expression on Goten's face. "Wonder what he's dreaming about..." Trunks asked to himself or at least he thought he did. "Hi mom." Trunks said with a yawn spotting her the doorway.

"OH you're up." Bulma sighed and took a long drink of her coffee.

"Chibi woke me up, he doesn't look too happy." Trunks said yawning again. "Wait why are you still up?" Trunks asked.

"I've been working in the lab. Then I heard this little guy over the intercom." Bulma said as she bent down next to Goten and ran her fingers through his hair.

"What? Are you spying on us now?" Trunks asked jumping down from his bed.

"No silly, think of it as a baby monitor, I've been doing it for years. You might not be my baby any more Trunks, but I still worry about you at night." Bulma said happily getting a blush in return.

"So what should we do about him?" Trunks asked with a small frown.

"Well, he's probably uncomfortable. And it looks like he's having a bad dream." Bulma said still messing with Goten hair.

"You can put him with me." Trunks said eagerly.

"No that won't work, he won't be happy if he wakes up next to you." Bulma explained. "Wait, why don't you sleep with me for the rest of the night and Goten can take the bed." Bulma tried, sending Trunks a smile.

"Aw mom, I'm not a baby anymore. I can't sleep with you." Trunks said childishly crossing his arms to make himself look more adult.

"Well that doesn't stop you from crawling in bed with us when you have a bad dream, Mr. Man" Bulma said making Trunks turn redder then a tomato. "Or you can take the floor and he can have the bed" Bulma said.

"I'm not sleeping on the floor." Trunks wined more childishly making Bulma sigh.

"Fine, you win. Goten can bunk with you for the night, but if he gets mad at you don't come crying to me." Bulma ordered.

"Okay, I get it." Trunks said climbing back into bed.

"He got heavy." Bulma said picking him off the floor and carrying him over to the bed and placing him on the side if the bed against the wall. "All right. Trunks, get comfortable and go to bed. I'll see you in the morning." Bulma said on her way out the door. "One more thing, keep your hands to yourself." Bulma warned. Trunks smiled.

"Night Chibi." Trunks said before he rolled over and fell asleep.

7:00 next morning

It's now seven o'clock and everyone's up but Goten. Figuring he had a bad night, Bulma decided to let him sleep in. "Trunks honey, do me a favour and wake Goten for breakfast." Bulma asked.

"Sure Mom." Trunks said jumping from the couch and heading to his room.

Trunks room

Entering his room, Trunks immediately blushed. Goten was lying on the bed, curled up into a tiny ball.

"Cute." Trunks thought to himself as he stood by his bed staring at him. "Goten wake up, it's time for breakfast." Trunks said tugging on Goten shoulder, but all Goten did was stretch out. "Fine, be hungry." Trunks said out-loud as he turned to walk away. "It'd take an earthquake to wake him up.." Trunks thought to himself which gave him an idea. "I want to kiss him again, but I promised I wouldn't." He said to himself again. Trunks sighed quickly making his decision. "One little kiss won't hurt him, right? Besides, what he doesn't know won't hurt him." Trunks thought. So with that in mind, Trunks walked back over to the side of his bed, bent down on his knee and started to kiss his sleeping Chibi on his lips. Sadly as he was doing so; Vegeta walked passed the door just in time to see everything.

Now satisfied, Trunks stood back up and kicked the corner of his bed causing Goten to jump into the air. "I'm awake, I'm awake." Goten said now standing on the bed looking around frantically.

"Come on Goten, get changed and come down for breakfast. I'm starving." Trunks said holding his growling stomach.

"Okay, give me a minute." Goten said tiredly.

On their way down the steps, Goten and Trunks were stopped by the sound of Vegeta and Bulma arguing. "I swear Woman, he was kissing Kakarot's Brat!" Vegeta snapped at Bulma.

"Come on Vegeta, you're seeing things." Bulma said in an attempt to convince him.

"I know what I saw Woman, sadly I feel bad for the brat, lying there trying to sleep while our son was slobbering on him." Vegeta snapped again a bit calmer. Bulma sighed "Vegeta, I'm sure it wasn't what it looked like." She said trying to defend Trunks.

"I know what I saw Woman." Vegeta said sternly yet calm.

"Trunks you kissed me again?" Goten asked tears building up in his eyes. "Y-You promised you wouldn't." Goten said on the verge of panicking before all out running past the adults and out the door.
