The stars were brighter then they had appeared to be in what felt like years and the light from the moon felt as if it good light up the town more then the sun ever could. It may have been because Goten was sitting beside but it felt as if adrenaline was running through his veins, that feeling of now or never, when the actually only choice that you mind screams at you is NOW! DO IT NOW!
Trunks placed the hot cocoa beside him as his eyes trailed over to Goten, "Let's play a game of truth or dare…" his said with his sinister smile tugging at the edges of his lips.
Goten stared at him with many thoughts running through his head, "Sure but you should know there is no chance for me to pick dare…. With how sadistic your mind is, I would probably have to make out with a frog in biology tomorrow…"
"Then let's just play truth, I'll even let you go first, honest is key…"
The raven haired man looked up towards the stars and smile a little, he knew he had to ask the right question but he didn't know exactly what the right question was. They could be up here all night and he knew that there would be more questions he'd be able to ask but he wanted to stun Trunks with the first shot. He turned his head towards the other and suddenly his mind went blank as he saw the twinkle in the cerulean eyes of the other man. It was like nothing else he'd ever seen and I lack the words to describe the beauty but the best I can do is ask you to imagine a lake in the middle of a dense forest, so blue and open, now imagine the reflection of stars in the day sky reflecting off the water. Now condense that thought into eye size and that is what Goten saw when he dove into the waters of Trunks' eyes.
"Are you going to ask a question?" Trunks said with a smirk.
"I don't need to answer that it's my turn…." Goten said slightly pouted and dropped his head but then a smile stretched across his face, "Do you consider me a friend?"
Trunks met Goten's eyes through his long eyelashes, "No…" Trunks said in a blunt tone that almost brought tears to the other's eyes.
"Do you consider me a friend?" Trunks asked after a slight pause.
"Well… yeah, I thought we were…. What do you consider me?" He asked pulling his knees up and wrapping his arms around his legs, hoping not to be hurt any further.
Trunks moved a little closer to the other and put an hand onto the other's shoulder, "That's a tricky question, it should've been your first one."
"That's not an answer…" Goten said as he blinked at the hand on his shoulder.
"Okay, well I guess it isn't," he said with a smile that can only be described in a single word. Smug. "I guess that is a very broad question, I consider you quite annoying, sometime a little too sarcastic, maybe a little rude from time to time…."
There was a pause and Goten's chin fell onto his hand, the tears in his eyes were burning but he would never let them fall, Trunks would never see his pain in those words.
"Your turn…" Goten whispered out although he was not sure if Trunks could hear him.
"Wait? I wasn't finished answering your question, I was just taking a dramatic pause, you know the thing they do for building tension in movies…" Trunks said with that damn smile looped over his lips.
"Do I want to hear how much you hate me?"
Trunks was taken back, he didn't know that Goten would get that opinion, really that wasn't what he was aiming for, he just thought the raven-haired man would be as cold as he usually was but it was now or never.
"Goten, you are more then a friend, I have been in turmoil of finding the words to express what you are to me, and the only thing that I have come up with…" he brought in a deep breath and held in for a second before continuing, "is that you are my guardian angel, you have saved my life, cleansed my mind and even cracked a mask that I was unaware that I was wearing."
The raven-haired man's head rose and he met with Trunks eyes but he was still speechless.
"My turn, are you aware you talk in your sleep?"
Then it was gone, his thoughts, his emotions, everything. All his walls had just crumbled and this man had broken into his heart. All secrets now were in the open unless the words he feared he had said were not indeed that of what he had said.
"What did I say?" he asked with a look that could penetrate a bank's safe.
"Hmm, that is a hard question to answer, I could show you easily enough though," the smug smile seemed to extend more, if that was humanly possible.
If it was possible the time was too right, the moment froze and Goten swore in the midst of his mind that his vision was swirling around them and he could see every little detail of himself and the other man. The still motion that his mind created moved into slow motion and the opposing man was slowly leaning in, leaning close, leaning towards the other man, only inches separated them.
DO IT NOW! KISS HIM! HE WILL ACCEPT IT!
A moment moved to hours and as their lips finally met, Goten swore that fireworks had gone off in his head because it was at the moment, his vision failed and he fainted…. Or did he merely begin to wake?
~Lusting Hatred Speaks~
After having a charming conversation with a new friend, in which no questions were really answered straight forward but answered with more questions, simply charming, lead me to write this chapter. I was recently asked how many chapters there would be and I do not have an answer to that, I have the ending in my mind, which will probably cause multiple people to write my name down on there 'Must Kill' lists but please know that there will be a sequel to this which the first chapter of will be posted after the last chapter of this story as a sneak peek. I will give you a hint and I want you to guess the title from this hint…. The hint is the initials… BoTH
If anyone guesses correctly, they will receive the final chapter one week earlier then I post it. The initials spells both but that is not the stories name.
