Ch 10

Goten woke up the next morning to find the space beside him empty. He sighed, 'why should I be surprised? Trunks isn't exactly himself. It still hurts.' He shook his head. 'What am I saying I'm not in love with him, right?'

Getting up from his bed, he discarded the dirty boxers from his body, got in the shower, and washed the cum that was sticking to his body from last night. Leaning into the shower head, he wondered why Trunks had done what he did last night. 'He's so unpredictable. I should just ask him but do I want to know the answer?' he thought as he heard the sound of footsteps. Shutting off the shower and wrapping a robe around his body, he came into his room to see Trunks with food.

Trunks saw the quizzical look on his face and smiled. "I was hungry, so I bought us breakfast," he said as he placed the bags on Goten's dinning table.

Goten sat down at the table and suddenly began to feel nervous, but there was no going back now. "Why are you doing this? What happened last night?"

"I'm trying to make up for what I did last night. I suddenly had this urge to hold you and please myself. I know I have the tendency to be selfish, and I'm sorry. It seems that's all I've been saying to you lately."

"If you wanted sex, you could found anyone who would be willing to be with you. Why me?"

"I-I didn't want. I mean I don't want anyone else. For some reason I only want to be with you Goten." Goten's eyes widened at his confession. "Look," he said as he grabbed his breakfast, "I have to go to work. I'll see you around."

He didn't want to leave Goten, but he couldn't bring himself to stay. He had never felt like this before, and it scared him. He didn't know his past with Goten, only what images and home movies showed. He knew the feeling, but he wanted the memories back. 'I want my life back.'

Flying back home, Trunks landed in the yard and searched for his mother. Finding her in the lab, he walked inside, knocking on the door. He watched as her head poked out from under a Capsule ship. She smiled. "Hi sweetie, everything ok?" she asked as she stood up, wiped the dirty off her, and looked at him.

"What are you up to?" he asked.

"Well I'm making repairs to the ship you used while in space. So, what's on your mind Trunks?"

"I want to remember my life before the accident. I don't want to be what the King made me."

"Do you want to talk about what happened during your time on Planet Vegeta?"

"I just want to forget. I want to be who I was before I lost my memory."

"I'm capable of a lot of things Trunks, but I won't build something that will mess with your memories. Even if I did, I couldn't guarantee you that you would be yourself again. The last thing I want to do is put your life in danger."

"Then what am I supposed to do, reenact the accident and hit my head in the same place? It can't be that simple."

"You're right. It's not that simple. It won't work."

"So I'm supposed to live my life knowing I may never regain my memory?"

"Anything is possible. You may wake up one day, and you have your memory. I don't want you to lose hope Trunks. No matter what your friends and family will still love you."

"That's NOT good enough!" Trunks yelled.

"Don't yell at your mother Trunks," said Vegeta as he came in the room. "It's understandable you want to remember your life but why are you so desperate?"

"You wouldn't understand."

"Try me son you may be surprised."

"Goten," said Trunks as he saw his mother smile. "You know, don't you mother?"

"I've always known sweetie. I was just waiting for you to tell me."

"I can't be with him like this. I'm a monster. He deserves who I was and not what I've become now."

"Believe it or not Trunks I thought the same thing when I was with your mother accept who I was in the past I believed was something she didn't deserve to know, but she was persistent."

"I saw potential in your father. He wasn't this evil saiyan he was portraying to the world. I knew there was something deep inside him that I wanted. I was determined to bring the good out of him. I never gave up on him because I love him."

"In the end son it's up to you and Goten if you want to be together. No one else can make that decision for you," said Vegeta.

"Right," he sighed, "I guess I have a lot to think about," he said as he made his way upstairs, disappearing from his parents' sight.
