Closed Eyes Open Heart..
Chapter 4.
The sound of a breaking stick echoed trough the quiet landscape. Trunks' boots were the once that broke the stick. Then a second echo followed. That was the sound of Gohan's boots.
Trunks flew Gohan to this place , the beautiful landscape that was ahead of them. It looked out of this world, an amazing sunset, a view over a lake and mountains. The quiet wind danced with the hair of the two boys.
Everything looked so peaceful and all right, but it wasn't. Gohan was still feeling upset, upset about his handicap and even more upset about Trunks' feelings.
Trunks placed his hand into Gohan's and lead him to the edge of the cliff. Gohan followed his little friend and trusted his movement. Placing his life into his hands.
Trunks wasn't saying anything, he just lead his friend closer and closer to the edge. Sweet memories entered the boys mind. They used to sit here and discuss all sorts of things. Some new attacks, the Super-Saiya-Jin motivation, and their loving friends who were killed a long time ago. Trunks bent his knees and sat down in the soft grass. He dragged Gohan along. Gohan carefully placed his body in the grass gently pulled one leg against himself and the other bent. His lifeless look stared ahead. It was such a rotten shame he couldn't see the wonderful sunset. The sky was painted pink and soft purple. Some yellow too. The saiyan closed his eyes and let a slight breeze touch his face. The breeze stroked the man's hair making it wave. A soft smile appeared on his face. He was in absolute peace, feeling free. He was flying through his own world. A wonderful world full of love and harmony. No one could destroy the fantasy at the moment.
Trunks looked at Gohan. He seemed peaceful indeed. The man showed confidence , pride and will. It was such a great sight, Trunks thought to him self. That sight represented the real Gohan. The strong man that he is. He is still the same, said the tiny voice in Trunks' head. Trunks blinked and got a reality check. No he isn't. Deep down inside he's hurting, almost dying. The confidence slipped out of his system the moment he opened his eyes. Trunks sight quietly. Why couldn't he protect him then? When the terrible duo bashed him like a punching bag. The only thing he could remember was calling 18 a witch. Provoking her to kill him. Then a terrible punch on the head knocked him out. Gohan must have been so angry with that blond maniac.
Trunks stared into the horizon. Watching the sun go under. It was so magnificent. I wish Gohan would be able to see this. He thought to himself. The happy smile on his face made me feel so save. I had no worries, no problems. The only thing I knew is that my best friend in the whole wide world was sitting next to me. Caring about me. Well I'm going to do the same thing for him. Trunks thought.
Then he turned his head to Gohan who still looked calmed and relaxed.
"Gohan .. you're my best friend" Trunks quietly said.
Gohan picked up the silent whispering with his saiyan ears. He just smiled, afraid to answer. Then he nodded. Trunks bit his lip, this wasn't the reaction he wanted to hear. He changed so much. He's even afraid to tell that he feels the same. Deep down, in his heart he wanted to say those words back more then anything. Then a soft laugh came out of Gohan's throat. "I want to jump off this cliff so badly."
Trunks' eyes widened. He was shocked by those words. Now he knew for sure that the pain Gohan was feeling was taking control of him.
"No Gohan, please don't say such things. Why would you want to end your life?"
Gohan sighed. Trunks was too young to understand. He was too young for the fear and loneliness. Kids these age usually don't have a say in those kinds of matters. "Because I'm feeling alone.." The demy saiyan decided to continue the conversation. "But I'm right here with you.." said the young Trunks quickly.
Gohan rolled his eyes from the inside. He was right, Trunks wouldn't understand. "It's not that kid.. I mean mentally.."
An "O" was the only thing Trunks could say. Then he shoved his hand into his pocket and pulled out a wrinkled piece of paper. He opened and explored it. "When you yelled at me the other day I wrote down my feelings on paper. Mom said it would be a good idea. And remember when we did those things too? So.. do you want to hear it?"
Gohan smiled. That was the Trunks he knew, always into new things. He had no idea that he had a creative side. "Go head Trunks"
Trunks took a breath and started reading out loud.
" You once saw me sitting here,
A smile upon my face,
The time has come and we both know that it's not too late,
There's been too many things,
Together we have seen,
It's not that hard if we start to believe,
We can try to erase all the pain,
So please let me help you "
When he was finished he fold the paper and stuck it in his pocket. " That was lame huh?"
Gohan shook his head. "It wasn't.. " Then he lifted his hand and searched for Trunks' Ki. Once finding it he patted the boy on his shoulder. Then his smile disappeared. "I don't think we can erase the pain Trunks"
Trunks closed his eyes feeling tears swell up. He just couldn't convince Gohan into accepting his help. "Why don't you trust me?"
Gohan felt a horrible hurt after that question. Now his little friend was confused. What has he done. "Of course I trust you Trunks.. but it's something else.. You see, I'm suffering and almost dying from the inside. It's hard to wake up every morning and seeing nothing but black. I feel pain, and I don't want you to feel that pain along with me.. "
"But I'm your best friend Gohan, best friends must do these things!" Trunks spoke fiercely.
The raven haired warrior shook his head. "I can't let you suffer along with me! You don't have to change your life because fate changed mine. I can feel you Trunks, and when I'm feeling your compassion it makes me want to cry. "
Trunks couldn't believe Gohan. He never acts like this. Why is he being so distant. Shutting everyone out. Accepting his loneliness.
"Gohan! I'll take care of you! Come on! Let me!" Trunks shouted almost in his friends ear.
That made Gohan cry, the salty tears ran over his cheeks. "I'm afraid Trunks… "
"Don't be.. But what keeps you from admitting?"
" I guess deep down that I just want to be taken care of.. that's it.."
"See, I knew it.. Gohan, it's no big deal. I will help you trough this! If you need a shoulder to cry on I'll be there, If you need a friend to talk to I'll be there, if you need a guide to help I'll be there for you.."
The black haired saiyan warrior look stared right into Trunks' direction. Such kind words. So much effort.
"You're my best friend too Trunks" Gohan said with his closed eyes and open heart.
A smile placed itself on Trunks his face. He held his hand up, wondering if Gohan could sense his movement. Yes he did. Gohan lifted his hand as well and slammed it against Trunks' . The boys shook hands while the pink and purple colors of the sky shined on them. Their faced seemed happy as they shared this wonderful moment.
"Thank you.. " Gohan said softly.
"I'll take care of you Gohan.." said the helpful boy gazing into his friend dead eyes. I can feel less fear in those dark pools, I'm starting to see peace. He is giving in, finally. I hope he'll find his rest. These thoughts crossed trough Trunks' mind like crazy. He was happy. Now he would be able to erase his guilt and do a good deed. But just then Gohan broke the silence and asked a remaking question. "Are you still blaming yourself..?"
Trunks swallowed, if Gohan could see then he'd bust him for sure. He knew that he was guilty. Deep in his heart he just knew. But this fact won't be revealed. It can't be revealed!
"Not anymore.." he answered as he got up. "We should head home, it's getting dark.. c'mon.."
Gohan got up as well. They walked away from the edge and looked back. "Ready Gohan?"
Gohan nodded and lifted himself up. Trunks threw one more look at the now dark sky. "I'll get you.. Androids.."
End of Chapter 4! Oh yeah, I liked it!

But, this fic isn't done yet! What will happen when Trunks decides to take 18 and 17 on to revenge his friend? No one knows, except for me :)
