"So is it everything you've ever dreamed of?"
"What?"
"Moving in with Trunks, silly"
"It's amazing!" Goten beamed. "You have no idea how happy I am, knowing I get to be with him every day!"
"Haha, you're so adorable sometimes Goten"
"What do you mean sometimes?" he giggled.
It was good to be back. After he finished his morning session of college he bumped into his fairly new friend Kalin on their designated lunch break. He wasn't sure whether to inform Trunks yet for obvious reasons. Who wouldn't jump at the chance to become friends with the first person that speaks to you when you're an incredibly nervous individual on your first proper day of college?
At first Goten was a bit wary of informing Kalin about parts of his life but he seemed so interested, so persistent. Luckily he didn't seem phased at all when Goten said he just moved in with his boyfriend, he actually seemed happy that the little saiyan was so happy. He didn't really know much about Kalin apart from the fact that he lived with two female friends and could drive a car. He was slightly taller than Goten, swept back spiky brown hair with hazel eyes to match. His body was slightly toned but nothing compared to the saiyan's muscular frames.
"How's the food tech course going?"
"Okay I guess, seems…easier since Kai helped me out"
"Oh yeah, you mentioned him in a text I think; the kid next door or something?"
"Yep, if it wasn't for him I might have screwed up our anniversary meal"
"You're kidding right? How old is he anyway?"
"Fourteen. I know it's crazy but he knows a lot about cooking, I think"
"He must have an incredible mum" he laughed.
"You'd think wouldn't you?"
"Huh?"
"Never mind. Anyway how's the sports course going?"
"Harder than I thought, baseball is the worst!"
"Really? Looks fun to me…"
"I still don't know why you didn't choose sports. Look at you! You'd be awesome!" he said in a raised voice, excitedly pointing out his superior physique.
"Meh, it doesn't really appeal to me…" he replied, knowing it would be unfair to the others and from the stories he heard about Gohan, it wasn't worth attempting to curb his strength.
After they parted ways when lunch ended, Goten casually walked into his next lesson, barely tolerating the majority or the girls in his class constantly staring at him. That problem never occurred to him when he joined the cookery course. Technically it wasn't a problem because he knew they wouldn't get anywhere, he was a forbidden fruit.
"Want to team up with me?" they'd say, their voices filled with hope and lust as they flashed him their brightest smiles. "I'd rather fail this class" he wished he could announce to the whole class. It didn't really matter though. The afternoon flew by, thoughts of who would get home first created bubbles of childish excitement within him.
"Hey Goten, Do you need a lift?" Kalin shouted across the car park as he unlocked his neon blue car with the push of a button.
"N…No that's okay!" he smiled as he waved and walked away from the college. A lift would've got him home quicker but he'd rather walk (or fly home if the opportunity arose) than run the risk of Trunks seeing him pull up outside in another guys car.
It only took about fifteen minutes or so for him to reach home. He looked over at Kai's door before turning the key in his own. It was a little disappointing to discover that he was on his own when he scanned the room.
"Oh well, at least I can surprise Trunks...somehow"
As he hung his black jacket on the coat hook he remembered that they didn't have a chance to mess around last night because Kai didn't leave until late into the evening.
At first cheesy romantic clichés came to mind such as rose petals leading to the bedroom or waiting for his lover to come home while he waited wearing nothing but a smile. He cringed and laughed at the same time over these thoughts. After switching the kettle on, he quickly unbuttoned his jeans and walked into the bedroom to retrieve the baggy pair of trousers he wore when lounging around but instead received a shock when the first thing he saw was Trunks fast asleep, sprawled out on his back in bed.
He almost squealed in delight but didn't have the heart to wake him as he was snoring ever so gently. He almost looked innocent just lying there, mouth barely open, lavender hair brushed against his eyelashes. He desperately wanted to move away the hair from his practically perfect face but became overly cautious; wondering if this was one of his tricks. It's not the first time he pretended to be asleep but every time the trap was set Goten inevitably became mesmerised by the relaxed version of the stronger saiyan; not that he complained when yanked onto the bed, solely because of what normally followed.
"Okay, I'll bite" he grinned anxiously.
As gently as possible, he sat beside the prince and brushed his fringe away with a careful index finger, smiling at his new ring gleaming at him. Once again his gaze was completely stolen by the princes exposed immaculacy; he dared to go further. Still focusing on his face, Goten trailed a finger down to his cheek and lightly swirled the tip across his flawless skin. He stirred slightly. The little saiyan let out a quiet giggle when Trunks scratched at his cheek whilst muttering something incomprehensible. Before Goten could try anything different, the prince grabbed his hand pulling him down so they were face to face.
"Just what do you think you're doing disturbing my rest?" he asked in a serious tone, eyes still shut, but the way his lips curved into a playful grin proved he wasn't genuinely serious.
"Uhh, j…just…just"
"I'm waiting…" the grin grew wider.
"I'm sorry…you're just too perfect" he smiled back.
"Is that so?" he opened his eyes. "Well, I can't just let you get away this. Interrupting my beauty sleep is a serious crime" Yet again, the intensity of Trunks' sapphire orbs captured his little lover's full attention once he quickly lifted his eyelids.
"Y…You don't need any beauty sleep" he stammered.
"Nice of you to say, now get naked"
"What?"
"You heard me" he sniggered under his breath.
Now on top of the stronger saiyan, he slowly began to unbutton his shirt, blushing at Trunks' bluntness. Before he could even remove the last sleeve from his arm he was slammed onto the mattress.
"Too slow chibi" The prince laughed, now on top of him, his exposed Adonis like body on perfect display.
"D…Don't go super saiyan this time please! I haven't completely recovered from last time"
"Can't promise that I'm afraid; remember you said I could do whatever I wanted. Can't back out now chibi"
A slight wave of fear and excitement enveloped Goten.
"O…Okay, just remember that I like to be able to walk normally when I'm at college"
"Heh, I'll keep that in mind"
Kai finally finished tidying his father's room as instructed. He managed to carry a stack of dirty dishes and cutlery into the kitchen but since there was no hot water available right now he left them near the sink, having no choice but to let them continue to fester.
"I hope he understands…"
He quickly walked back into his father's room to double check everything was neat and spotless. He did a good job if he did say so himself, nothing could really be done about the smell of mould and cigarette butts though. What was left to do? His room was tidy, so was every other room in their dingy place. He so wanted to impose upon the saiyan couple but he did not have the courage to knock on the door this time; The door that became a portal offering a brief escape from reality for the frail looking teen.
"They're probably sick of me by now anyway..."
The two saiyans ended up sprawled across the tangled bed sheets, staring up at the ceiling, their glistening chests rising and falling rapidly, both imitating the breathing patterns of one who had just ran a marathon. They turned their heads slightly so their gaze could meet. Exhausted smiles that let out stupefied giggles spread across their faces.
"That...was sooo...worth...the wait" Trunks announced between rapid breathes.
Goten could only make agreeable noises right now. The pool of sweat that formed underneath Goten's muscular back eventually became uncomfortably cool to the point where he moved on to his side. Trunks' natural scent further invaded Goten's olfactory sense as he shifted closer and closer until he ended up hugging his clammy arm. He rubbed his cheek lovingly against his shoulder as he tightened the grip around Trunks' arm.
"So how come you were here before me, and in bed?"
"I was able to leave early cos of the extra hours I put in. I got bored waiting for you so I went to sleep for a bit" he laughed.
Even though he was unaware that the prince finished work early, Goten felt a pang of guilt. He could've made an excuse to leave college early or just stayed at home; to him, nothing is as important as spending quality time together, not even the chance to gain qualifications.
"How was college chibi?" he asked, manoeuvring his body on his side so he could get a better look at his cute partner that still had a firm grip on his arm.
"Same as usual. The girls are starting to get on my nerves though..."
"Why?"
"Just being loud, annoying and trying to be friendly with me..."
"Of course they'll try. If a girl had you on her arm she'd be the envy of the college"
"Pffft, yeah right..." he blushed "I wish I could just tell them to go away but I'm too nice"
"Yeah, you are but that's one of the things I love about you"
An immense feeling of happiness plunged into the adorable saiyan.
"What else do you love about me?" he asked whilst arming himself with remarkable puppy dog eyes and a beaming smile.
"Umm...everything...?"
"Uh uh! More specific please"
"Haha, let's see...your personality, that cute smile of yours" he teased, lightly tapping his nose with his index finger to make him wiggle it in that unbearably cute rabbit impression. "Errr...Your scent, your eyes, your...your...just everything! I love everything about you. I love you!"
Well, that's all it took for tears of joy to form, threatening to overflow at anytime.
"I love you too" he mewled.
"Alright, don't go getting too emotional"
Trunks smiled warmly at his everything and gave him a small peck on the lips. They shared a minute long embrace before a low rumble that escaped Trunks' stomach interrupted the moment.
"Someone's hungry"
"Heh, No hiding anything from you"
"Want me to start dinner?"
"If you don't, I'll do it again" he grinned.
"N..No, not for a few days anyway!"
Even though he didn't want to, Goten slid away from the smug saiyan and slung on his dressing gown before walking into the kitchen to try out a new recipe he learnt today, blissfully unaware of the beating taking place just a few feet away from his door.
Kai should have washed the plates; cold water was no excuse apparently.
