Twenty-One
"Bro, what the fuck is your problem?!?" Trunks yelled while pushing Goten away from him.
"You're my fucking problem, why don't you go back and live at Capsule Corps!" Goten swung on Trunks but before his fist could connect Trunks easily caught it in the palm of his hand.
"Goten stop this, look I played your game in front of your family but if you haven't forgotten." A loud grunt escaped past Goten's lips as Trunks bent his hand painfully backward. "I'm easily ten times stronger than you."
Trunks sighed, "Please explain to me why you're acting like this. You've known better than anyone that I've loved her since we were kids." Goten growled while ripping his hand out of Trunk's grasp, which he easily released. "Come on," He tried to place a hand on Goten's shoulder but my twin ripped himself away, leaving Trunks wide-eyed in shock.
Facing away from his best friend in the whole entire world, Goten stood with his arms crossed over his chest, scowling. I must admit, this was the first time I'd ever seen Goten act like this. My carefree and somewhat innocent twin usually never got serious unless he was either in a really competitive state of mind or in the middle of a battle to save the planet.
While gritting his teeth Trunks ran a hand through his purple locks. "Are you serious? I mean you used to give me advice on how to win her over, listen to me whine constantly about her and now you're acting like this." Trunks lunged at my twin, once he got him in his embrace he forcibly spun him around. "Tell me what the hell your problem is right now!"
Goten tried to glare at his best friend but being such a good person by nature he gave up on his malice filled expression quickly, instead dropping his eyes towards the ground. "I just never thought that she'd return your feelings."
Releasing Goten, Trunks took a step back away from him, shock apparent in his features. He didn't reply, just stood there staring at his best friend, who'd just basically implied that his sister was too good for him, before turning around and walking into the dead of night.
The scene unfolded before my very eyes through the slits in-between my window blinds. As they argued back and forth with each other I couldn't help but notice that Trunks's eyes were both bruised and his knuckles were bloody. While gulping I watched as Trunks form disappeared into the darkness of the forest. My fingers moved on their own, undoing the locks and trying to push up the window but as I did so I found that it would not budge.
'What the?' I mentally questioned before raising my blue orbs, meeting a pair of annoyed onyx eyes staring back at me. Shooting my hands up to my mouth I used them to stifle my own scream as I fell back on my behind.
"Goten!" I whispered harshly knowing full well that he could hear me through the glass.
Goten narrowed his eyes upon my own, his expression not masking his irritation one bit. "Go to bed!" He yelled through the window. "We have school in the morning!"
Puffing out my cheeks in anger I glared at my twin, "I could say the same thing to you."
A rare scowl crossed Goten's features, "Get your butt to bed this instant. I won't leave here until you do," He stated while crossing his arms while beginning to tap his foot on the ground impatiently.
"Fine," I grounded the word out in-between my clenched teeth while marching across the room and jumping onto my bed. Lifting up the covers I got underneath them all the while never taking my eyes off my twin's form. "In bed, now go away!"
"I'll leave when you're asleep, now close your eyes." Goten uncharacteristically barked out the order before turning around and leaning up against the window.
Grr!
I couldn't believe it!
First Goten gets into yet another argument with Trunks over our relationship, in the end wounding his best friend and now he dares to become my jailer!
I couldn't help but raise my middle finger at his back in defiance before grabbing my cell phone off from my nightstand and throwing the covers over my head. Scrolling through my contacts towards the bottom I located Trunks Briefs entering his number into my Messenger.
Couldn't help but overhear your convo, come back!! Forget about Goten, he's just being dumb. –Stars and Moons- As soon as I finished typing out my text message I hit the sent key and watched my little mail box icon appear on my screen.
Much like my twin and myself, Trunks always kept his cell phone glued onto him at all time and while his track record not withstanding he usually always replied back. Through my thin blanket I could see the digital read out of my clock glowing through the darkness.
The hours ticked by like minutes and still no reply.
At six am when my alarm went off I gave up, pulling my covers over my head. Surprisingly my jailer was still leaning up against my window, his eyes much like my own, bloodshot. "You didn't go to sleep," He stated accusingly.
"Neither did you," Mirth danced in my tone as I regarded him. "You should have just gone to bed brother."
Lifting up my window he stepped into my bedroom one leg at a time, "You suck." He replied simply before making his way across my room and out my bedroom door. "School is going to be so much fun today," I called out after him and received a groan in response.
Grabbing my school uniform I made my way towards the bathroom and while I was getting ready for school I couldn't help but wonder where exactly Trunks went last night and why hadn't he returned my text message.
When I went back to my room I snatched up my school bag and cell phone before making my way to the living room. In the middle of our living room stood the lavender haired boy that had been haunting my thoughts all night, looking just as haggard as me and my twin did that morning. "Trunks?" I began to question causing his eyes to look up from the ground towards my own.
I watched as he opened his mouth to say something but it was as if he remembered something and closed it once again. He took a step back as Goten entered the room from behind me; my twin clutched my upper arm in his hand. "Come on Usa, Dad is waiting for us."
"No, let's fly to school today." While stating this I did my best to try and shake Goten's hold on me but it was fruitless. Not waiting for their reply I dragged my brother and while taking hold of Trunks's jacket sleeve I pulled him onto the front lawn with us. "Bye mom!" I remembered to call out at the front door hearing a muttered reply in response but couldn't make it out.
On the other hand my twin certainly did hear what our mother had called out and stopped dead in his tracks, forcing us to halt as well. "Got-" I began but was interrupted by Goten.
"Usa! We almost forgot our bentos." He shot me an accusing look before releasing my upper arm from his tight hold and running back into our home.
I sighed in relief as I watched him disappear into the kitchen, "So, was your phone turned off or something last night?" At this range I could see his bruised face more clearly; I desperately wanted to question him about it but knew this was not the place.
"No," Trunks replied simply casting his eyes away from my own towards the forest.
"Well, then why didn't you respond to my text message?"
Trunks sighed while running a hand through his lavender locks, "I just didn't feel like it. After I talked to Goten I set up my house and went right to bed."
Liar!
Those bags under your eyes are a clear indication that you didn't get a wink of sleep last night mister!
But, I couldn't very just accuse him of lying. Trunks didn't take very kindly to people that tried to confront him so I let it slide. Instead I took a step forward and pressed my body against his, "Since we're flying to school I say we ditch today. It would be easy to out fly Goten after all and we can spend the day together finishing up what we started the other night." My voice practically purred as I did my best to try and seduce my lover.
Wait, lover?
That sounds way too old fashioned.
Boyfriend was a little less than he currently was.
Hmm, I guess fiancé will have to do.
I did my best to try and seduce my fiancé.
With a tight smile plastered on his face Trunks gently pushed me away, "Maybe you should fly yourself to school today, I mean my dad did teach you and all." His voice was cold and as I opened my mouth to retort my bento suddenly appeared between us.
"Here Usa," Goten said while lowering my bento so I could take a hold of it. I had been so preoccupied with Trunks that I hadn't even heard him walking up to us.
My eyes hardened on my lavender haired whatever, "You know what Goten maybe we should get dad to take us to school after all."
Trunks nodded, "Maybe you should."
Biting my lower lip I tried my best from letting a single tear drop as I turned away from him and walked inside my home. "You guys coming?" I called to the two of them as I rounded the corner to the kitchen. "Yeah," Goten stated while following my footsteps.
"I'll catch up to you guys later; I have a couple of errands to run before going to school." Trunks said before shooting up into the air.
"Good riddance," I distinctly heard Goten mutter under his breath causing my fist to unconsciously tighten.
"Dad? Can you take us to school?" I asked seeing my dad and Gohan sitting comfortably at the kitchen table still enjoying their breakfast.
"Aw, but I'm not done," Our dad whined looking up from his bowel meanwhile our mother came up from behind him with her magical frying pan locked and loaded. "Son Goku it takes you literally two seconds to drop the kids off using your instant transmission, are you really saying that you can't spare two seconds away from your breakfast?!?"
Dad swallowed his food, "But, your food is so delicious I don't want to leave it for a single second."
"Go! Now!" Mom screeched almost causing the house to shake.
"Going!" Dad yelled while standing up, both of us knew the routine and grabbed a hold of his clothing. In a blink of an eye we were now standing on top of the school's roof. "Chichi sure is grouchy in the morning," Dad stated while shaking his head. "Well have a good day at school guys," He waved before disappearing.
Before Goten could even move I clenched my fist and sent it flying across his jaw. "Ow! What the hell Usagi!"
"I could ask you the same question, why the hell are you acting this way towards Trunks and I?!" I screamed.
Ok, so I was funneling a little bit of my rage Trunks had stirred in me towards Goten. But, he deserved it.
He held his jaw, "You wouldn't understand." He stated before turning away from me and walking towards the fence that outlined the rooftop.
"Understand what?" I questioned before my eyes widened.
Idiot.
Dummy.
Moron.
Dimwit.
My twin was the biggest blockhead the world has ever seen.
Now I understood my twin's hostility.
While shaking my head I walked over to him wrapping my arms around his torso as I rested my head on his broad back. "I'm not going to leave you," I stated feeling his back muscles stiffened. "I'm just going to be moving in next door, he's not trying to take me away from you brother."
Goten sighed, "Eventually he will, he's kidding if he thinks Bulma won't move the two of you to West City."
"I won't let that happen, you know I love our little house." I smiled even though I knew he couldn't see me.
"It's just way too fast and too soon. I didn't expect you to get married so soon and want to leave."
"I don't want to leave Goten, ever. I promise I will always be close to you or a phone call away," He nodded but I knew he was still uneasy.
It was no secret that Goten and I were twins and ever since we were little we've always been close. I guess that him attacking Trunks was his way of saying that he wasn't ready to left out in the world by himself. Both of us weren't fools we knew that one day we'd have to encounter this world on our own but I guess we both thought we had more time with each other.
I, myself didn't even think I was ready to be without him just yet.
I don't think I ever will be.
Call him a crutch if you will but I just knew I always wanted him by my side and I now was fully aware that he felt the same way.
We didn't end up going to first period that day instead we stood upon the roof, for the first hour we stood in silence before we began to recall funny stories from our youth.
Time seemed to be going by so fast, each year passing in a blink of an eye. We had to embrace these little moments before they disappeared.
Trunks didn't end up showing up for school that day and when we arrived back home he was no where to be seen. Trying not to over think it I kept busy by doing my homework, helping out with dinner and watching TV with my brothers.
Now it was close to midnight and I had been up for more than twenty-four hours, feeling both cranky and tired. Blinking back my double vision I tightly gripped my cell phone wondering if it was worth it to try again.
I shook my head.
No, I couldn't think like that… I couldn't be afraid to approach him.
He was my fiancé for crying out loud.
Clicking on my cell I went inside my messenger and retrieved Trunks's cell number from my contacts. Hey I don't know if your mad at me or not but I'm going to sneak out and go to your house so we can talk or do whatever you want. I placed a happy face emoticon before hitting the send button.
Not bothering to change out of my P.J.s I slid open the window and jumped out of it before stalking across the lawn. Trunks had set up his capsule house only a couple of yards away from our house and as I reached it I quickly found a window.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.
My cell phone began to vibrate in my hand and I quickly flipped it open while opening up my new message.
Trunks Briefs: Don't bother, I'm already in bed. Night.
His message had me left reeling.
This was total and utter Rejection.
A fiancé shouldn't do this; damn a boyfriend shouldn't even do this.
What the fuck was going on?
Just what the hell was Trunks thinking?
Why was he even mad at me, what the hell did I do? (Well, besides the affair and being pregnant.)
Placing myself on autopilot I made the long trek back to my room and climbed in through my bedroom window. Having so many unanswered questions and generally feeling miserable I walked across the room towards my closet. Inside I found a lone shoebox and while opening it I reached inside and pulled out a single piece of blue spandex cloth.
Hugging my old security blanket to my form I dropped to the ground and curled myself around it, trying desperately to find comfort in it and lull myself to sleep.

An: Sorry, I kind of lose my muse for this story.. and generally all my Trunks/Usagi stories.. I'm trying to regain it but in the meantime updates for this story might come at a slower pace than normal.
The big conflict scene is coming up next chapter.
Ah, so Dragon Ball Evolution premiered in Asia early and I was able to watch the bootleg.. got to admit it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I loved the fact that Goku was a dork of his high school and Chichi was the popular rich girl. And, it was more him liking her and chasing her. So adorable! Tee hee. As a stand alone movie it was alright. Can't wait till it's released here so I can watch it on the big screen.
