The sun rose over the Briefs home and into Trunks's room. As soon as the light hit Goten, he opened his eyes, surprised to see Trunks lying beside him in his room. 'What happened? How did I get from my room to his?' When he tried to get up, he felt dizzy and lied back down and also the fact that Trunks's arms were around him. He thought this was suspicious. 'Wait a minute, isn't he mad at me? Why would he be holding me like this?' He turned to face his sleeping boyfriend sleeping peaceably, and he leaned over and kissed Trunks softly on the lips. "I'm sorry Trunks." He managed to sit up, holding on to his spinning head. "Why am I so dizzy?"

"You haven't eaten." Trunks sat up beside him. "How are you feeling besides that?"

"Well, you left me I'm sure you can figure out how I'm feeling." Goten couldn't look at him as he stood but as soon as he attempted to walk, he found himself caught in the arms of his serious boyfriend.

"Take it easy Goten, I'll get you something to eat. Just stay put." He saw Goten pout before he left the room, and he couldn't help but smile even though he was mad at him. He made his way downstairs to the kitchen whipped something up, and brought it upstairs to Goten.

"Wow, you made all this?"

"Yeah." He placed the bed tray in front of him and watched Goten eat in silence, which was making Goten nervous.

Goten could feel his heart beating rapidly and a warmth spread on his face. He was feeling uncomfortable and wanted to get out so as soon as he finished, he got up, walking towards the door until trunks blocked the way. "We need to talk Goten. You can't just ignore me because I'm making you feel uncomfortable."

"I'm not—

Trunks gave him a look like 'I'm not buying it.'

"How did I get here Trunks?"

"You're father brought you over here. You looked pretty bad, writhing in his arms, and it was my fault. Once I bit you, you were experiencing my feelings as well. It overwhelmed you a bit and also that part of the bond isn't complete, you haven't bit me so the bond is pretty much one sided."

"Oh."

"My parents know and so does your dad about us. They seem fine with it."

"I need to know Trunks if we're still together. I know what I did made you angry, disappointed, and upset, but I don't want to lose you. I love you so whatever I can do to make things right I will do."

Trunks smiled at him. "I wasn't intending to break up with you Goten. I would have to be crazy to do that when I love you to. I was just processing what happened, and I didn't think that was the kind of thing you would let those weaker people do to you. But I want to understand better what was happening that led up to your death."

"I think I felt that everyone was going off into their own directions, and I was being forgotten. I should have said something instead of closing myself off from everyone and even though I was there, I felt like I had mentally checked out. I wasn't thinking about anything but myself. I thought I was too far gone to reach out. I mean how would it have looked if I said I needed to be saved? I'm half saiyan for kami's sake. How would it look if I showed weakness?"

"First off, I think you've taken by dad's perspective of what a saiyan should be and taken it to heart, which is ridiculous since were half-human to and the fact that each saiyan is different. The stereotype my dad created doesn't have to be you."

"Or you Trunks."

"Can we just concentrate on you?"

"Well, what else do you want to know?"

"If you want to complete the bond I started." Trunks's eyes turned devious as Goten smiled, lying down on his bed.

Trunks came towards him, hovering over the younger saiyan's body. His lips roughly kissed Goten's and before he could get further, he found himself lying below Goten. He was surprised to say the least at how dominant Goten was as he brought Trunks's head closer to his, kissing him with so much passion that Trunks let out a moan.

With Trunks's head still in his hand, he moved it to get better access of his neck. Goten sniffed the area of his neck, which Trunks thought odd, before he sunk his lips into the sensitive skin. Trunks's eyes widened and then clouded over with lust. His body felt like it was on fire. He never felt so alive in his entire life.

After Goten sucked the mark he had left on his mate's neck, he sat up, licking the remnants of Trunks's blood off his lips, making Trunks aroused by the sight. He sat up, leaning on his arms to see Goten smiling at him. "What?"

"Well, it's kind of new to me but I felt you being aroused." A blush spread on his face.

"You'd be right," he flipped them over so Goten was on the bottom, "about that chibi." He kissed him on the lips before he nipped at the skin of Goten's neck. He heard Goten sigh in pleasure, which brought him happiness and satisfaction. Trunks felt Goten's legs wrap around his waist, bringing his body closer as Trunks groaned.

All of a sudden the door slammed open and the two broke apart from each other, breathing heavily. Trunks could see the smirk on his father's face. "Well, it looks like I interrupted something."

"Gee dad whatever gave you that idea," said Trunks with sarcasm.

"Are you two coming down to eat or what?" Goten rushed out of the room. "At least he appreciates the healthy appetite of a saiyan."

"Yeah whatever." They entered the hall way together, but his father stopped. "What is it father?"

"I can see you two have patched things up, but I need to let you know that once you've decided to mate with Goten wholly, you can't take it back. You'll be bonded to each other forever."

"I have no doubts father. I want to be with him forever."

"That's good to know. On Planet Vegeta if a saiyan bonded with the wrong person, then it was mostly likely that the mates would remain unhappy throughout their lives and might possibly commit suicide in order to not feel each other's emotion anymore."

"So, do you think you bonded to the right person?"

"I have no doubt son I made the right choice. You're mother and I have a good time together."

"Dad! I don't need to hear about that."

"That's not what I was talking about you idiot. There's much more to your mother and I than sex. You think I would have bonded with her if that's all I wanted?"

"No, of course not. I know there's more to a relationship than sex."

"You could have fooled me the way you went through women."

"That's all in the past. I've moved on from that."

"It shows."

"I really appreciate your support father."

They walked down the hall and into the kitchen to see everyone enjoying each other's company.

"Hey, what's going on?" asked Trunks. He saw the look on his sister's face.

"Sorry Trunks, I couldn't stop mom."

"Stop mom from—He saw the photo album being passed around. "Mom!"

"What? It's not a crime to reminisce."

"Yeah, but you can do that by yourself."

"Well if I did it wouldn't be this fun." She smiled.

"You know I think you do this kind of thing to embarrass me."

"Maybe, but it's also because I love you so much" She kissed him on the head and missed up his hair some. "Now eat, I would hate to have leftovers." She took her photo album and made her way to the living room along with Bulla.

In the middle of his meal his cell phone rang. He sighed and then answered it. "Hello."

"Mr. Briefs."

"Hercule, we've known each other for a while. You can call me Trunks."

"All right Trunks, well that brings back a lot of memories."

"I'm sure it does, so you called for what reason?"

"Well, I'm having a big gathering tomorrow and I'm inviting everyone. Goku all ready agreed so—

He laughed. "Of course he agreed, you probably promised food." He heard Hercule's laughter at the other end.

"Yep, that's Goku for you, he's never changed."

Trunks saw Goku attempting to take food from his own son's plate. "That's for sure."

"Oh, and one more thing, you know if Goten is seeing anyone? I know his mother's been trying to set him up."

Trunks was flaring with anger. The thought of anyone but him with Goten made him furious but he managed to calm down. "Yes, he's seeing someone."

"Oh that's great Trunks, I'm happy for him."

"Me to, well I guess we'll see you tomorrow."

"At 7PM."

Trunks closed his phone and turned to see Goku and Goten sparring in the kitchen while his father yelled, "Take it out side because if you ruin the kitchen, I'll have to blast you into oblivion."

"Dad, what's going on?" He saw the two take their spar outside.

"The two idiots are fighting over food."

"Well, Goku was taking food off Goten's plate."

"Really? You want to make a case for this?"

"No, I'm just saying it's justified."

"So, what did the champ want?"

Trunks let out a smile. "He's invited everyone to his place tomorrow night."

"What!"

"Oh come on dad, there's going to be—

"You can't bribe me with food son. I'm not Kakarott, the bottomless pit idiot."

"That's a creative nickname dad." Trunks smiled.

"Shut up, boy." Vegeta left the room without another word.

Trunks made his way to the backyard to see Goten lying on the grass, breathing heavily. He noticed his father was gone. "Hey, where's you're dad?"

"Well, after my dad kicked my butt, he flew home."

"That's good," he sat down in the grass beside, reaching out his hands to bring Goten's head onto his lap, "because now I get you all to myself." He leaned down to kiss Goten on the cheek, moving to his lips.

"Trunks, I was wondering."

"What is it chibi?"

"Can we go home?"

Before he could get an answer, Goten felt himself being picked up in his boyfriend's arms and flown away into the sky. He wrapped his arms around Trunk's neck, looking at the serene look on his face that he had never seen before. He kissed Trunks's cheek and moved to his neck.

"Go—Goten, you're making it hard to concentrate."

"Oh, sorry Trunks."

"Don't worry about it. Now hold on tight, I'm going to speed it up a notch." He felt Goten tighten his grip, which spurred him on.

Trunks landed Goten on the hammock with him on top of him and before he had the chance to talk. His lips were on his, and he could feel what Trunks wanted. He pulled away from the excited saiyan. "Trunks, were not doing that out here in broad daylight."

"Why not? Where's your sense of adventure?"

"Inside the house."

They headed inside as Trunks's phone rang. "Damn, is it too much trouble to leave me alone?"

"I guess it is." He laughed. "Well, I'm going to use the shower. Have fun with your call."

"This is Trunks Briefs."

"Mr. Briefs."

"Mr. Broaden, what can I do for you?"

"I have a business proposition for you."

"I'm listening."

Trunks had an early meeting with Mr. Broaden tomorrow morning. He smiled as he made his way into his bedroom to hear the shower turn off, his shower. He was pleasantly surprised as Goten came out with a towel wrapped around him. "What happened to your shower?" Trunks smirked.

Goten lied down on Trunk's bed. "Well, I wanted to see what it was like in here so here I am."

"Does that mean we'll be sharing this room?"

"Is that what you want?" Goten smiled.

"Is that what you want?" Trunks smiled.

"More than anything."

"Good, me to." He kissed him softly on the lips as he moved on top of him, deepening the kiss with his tongue. "I love you chibi."

"I love you to Trunks."

Trunks moved from his lips and to his chest, making his mate squirm and moan in pleasure. A giggle erupted from him, and Trunks stopped what he was doing to smirk. "Ticklish, are we?"

"Don't even think it Trunks."

"Why? What are you going to do about it?"

"Blast you out of this house."

"Hn, like you could."

"Is that a challenge?"

"No, I don't want you putting a hole in my house. I saved up a lot of my own money to buy this place."

"I'm proud of you Trunks." He sat up, looking at his confused mate.

"Why?"

"Well, you earned this place. I haven't earned a thing."

"You know you could always go back to school and get a job if you wanted."

"But, I've missed so much classes."

"Enroll at a college close by here, there are some after all."

"That's a good idea, besides I only need one more semester to graduate." Goten smiled. "You always think of everything."

"I am a genius after all." Goten rolled his eyes as he lied back down on the bed. He then said something that took him by surprise. "I'm happy."

"With me?"

"Of course you, silly." His face got serious. "I've never been this happy with anyone else." He took Goten's hand in his own, rubbing the skin with his thumb.

Trunks was giving him butterflies, and he smiled. "Who knew Trunks Briefs was a charmer?"

"You don't need to be charmed. You deserve better than that."

"Why would that be?"

"Because you're not the women I've been with, you're real, good, and special to me." He felt Goten hold him tightly in his embrace, burring his face in Trunks's chest. "What's wrong Goten?" He pulled away from to see his tears on his cheeks.

"Nothing, what you said was nice."

"Nice, huh?" Trunks's eyebrow rose. A devious smile formed on his face. "I don't think I like that very much." He brought his arms around Goten's bare waist, pulling him towards him.

"No problem." He moved himself into Trunks's lap, straddling his waist as he wrapped his legs around him, making Trunks groan. When Goten felt Trunks's hands message the skin on his back, he purred.

"Did you just—

"Yes, sorry it felt so good."

"You shouldn't apologize. I should be thanking you."

"Why is that?"

"Well because your pleasure is my happiness." He saw a blush appear on his mate's face. "You're so cute."

"Hey! I am not cute. I'm—

"Beautiful, sexy."

"You're too good to me Trunks. I love you." They decided to lie down.

Trunks brought the covers over them, drifting off to sleep. It was the middle of the day, but they didn't care. An hour passed and a knock came to the door. Trunks groaned in frustration as he managed to get out of bed and trudged to the door. He opened it and got an unexpected surprise. "Chichi."

"Can I come in?"

"Um, sure." He stood aside as she entered his house.

"Wow, you sure have done well for yourself Trunks. This place is beautiful."

"Thank you, so what can I do for you?"

"Well I heard from Hercule that Goten has someone special in his life. Do you know if he's bringing her to the party tomorrow night?"

"I don't know to be honest but maybe you two should start talking again. He's staying here you know."

"Well I figured. You two are close after all."

"Do you want to talk to him? I'll go wake him up if you want."

"Thank you Trunks."

"Just make yourself at home Chichi."

"You're such a polite boy."

Trunks blushed as he made his way upstairs to his bedroom. He walked in to see it was empty, and he felt strangely the same.

"Hey Trunks," he put a hand on his shoulder, "it's ok, I'm right here." He smiled. "I just went to go get dressed because I knew we were having company."

Trunks was still surprised on how they could sense what the other was thinking and feeling. It made him open and vulnerable, which he wasn't used to.

"You'll get used to it eventually."

"Knock it off Goten, they're such thing as it getting annoying."

"You got me there."

They walked into the kitchen to see Chichi cooking, which didn't surprise Goten as he smiled. She turned around and smiled. "You two are just in time." She turned to Trunks. "It's a good thing you keep the fridge stocked."

"Well mom does make sure I'm taken care even though I'm old enough to do that myself."

"Sure, keep telling yourself that Trunks," said Goten as he laughed. Trunks whacked him in the head. "Hey!"

"You're the one living here so whose taking care of who?"

"All right boys, that's enough. Now eat."

"Thanks mom." She smiled at him.

"We'll talk when you're done sweetie." She faced the sink and washed the pans she had used to cook the food. By the time she was done so were the two demi-saiyans. Trunks offered to clean the dishes. "Thank you Trunks."

"It's no problem. It's my house after all."

Goten and Chichi made their way to the living room to sit. There was an uncomfortable silence until it was broken.

"I've missed you mom."

"Oh sweetie, I've missed you to. I'm sorry I kicked you out son, but it's just that I'm you're mother. It's hard to face my faults when it comes to you."

"I'm sorry to, and it's just I need you to realize that I'm not the same person as Gohan. I need you to accept I'll find some one special in my own time not someone you choose for me to be with, and I need you to support my decisions no matter what."

"I promise Goten, but I heard from Hercule that you all ready found that special someone. You should bring her to the party tomorrow night."

'Oh man I've gotten way over my head. What am I supposed to say? I don't want to lie to her. We just started getting along. If I tell her that someone is Trunks, she's going to flip.' He smiled. "She can't come because her shift is tomorrow night."

"That's too bad, so tell me about her."

He could tell his mom was excited. "Well she's the most beautiful creature I've ever lied eyes upon." He didn't know Trunks was eavesdropping from the kitchen. "She's smart and sexy as hell. We love each other, and it's pretty serious. I want to spend the rest of my life with her."

"Oh honey," she hugged him, "I'm so happy for you. Now I definitely have to meet her."

"Well that's going to be kind of hard considering she's a business women. Her job requires her to travel a lot of the time."

"That's too bad. She sounds lovely. What about her parents?"

"I've never met them. She doesn't really have a relationship with them."

"Has she told you why?"

"Well, she says they didn't really pay attention to her but once she became successful, they tried to take advantage of her."

"Poor girl, well she's lucky to have you."

"I feel pretty lucky myself."

"Good, now you know I'm going to want to meet her the first time she's available."

"You bet mom."

They both got up and headed towards the door. "It's good to see you this happy. I love you sweetie."

"I love you to mom." He hugged her, and she kissed him on the cheek before he closed the door behind her retreating figure.

He made his way to the couch and lied down as Trunks came into the room. He felt Trunks sit beside him, bringing his legs over his lap. "I'm impressed Goten."

"Thanks Trunks but now we have a problem. She wants to meet this woman that I just made up."

"Well, you may have made her up but her characteristics are mine."

"You noticed that, huh." Goten smiled. He sighed. That's not the point, it's your fault."

"My fault, how's it my fault?"

"You told Hercule I had someone special."

"But that's the truth chibi." Trunks smiled.

"You think you're so clever." Trunks nodded in agreement. "Well that's good because you have to think of something to get me out of it." He saw a light bulb go off in Trunks's head. "What are you thinking?"

"We are honest Goten."

"I love you Trunks, but my mom will hate me. I need to think about it."
