Ch 84 Pt 1

The morning sun made its way through the blinds of Trunks' room, shinning down on Goten, who opened his eyes to see Trunks' bare chest in his view. It was evident Trunks had decided to hold him some time during the night, tucking him beneath his chin. Goten had to admit the warmth felt nice and so did his arms around him.

Observing what he could, he smiled. 'Well it looks like we made it through the night,' he thought as he tired to find away out of Trunks' grip without waking him. Goten looked at Trunks carefully as he moved his arms away from his waist. He sighed in relief at his success until he sat up and felt those same hands snatch him back into a laying position on the bed.

"Ok, how long were you awake Trunks?" he asked as he stared up into the deep eyes of his smirking lover.

"I could hear when you thought about making it through the night. I'm relieved as well, but I knew we could do it chibi."

"Just promise from now on that you'll talk to me about anything and everything that is on your mind. You don't want a problem to become a disaster."

"Agreed but I feel like that should go both ways."

"You know I'm not the one who has a problem expressing their feelings, but I'll agree to it anyway."

"Oh and you're so perfect," said Trunks sarcastically.

"I'm not, but my mate thinks so."

"Does he now? It must be that body of yours that he loves to touch all over," Trunks smiled as he leaned down on Goten's body and captured his lips with his own. He sighed. "I have to get ready for work."

Goten pouted. "I guess I should go to work to," he said as he got up from bed.

"How about we go out to dinner tonight? It's my treat."

"Well how can I say no to that," Goten smiled.

"All right I'll swing by the bakery and pick you up."

"This sounds like a date to me. How long has it been?"

"I can't even remember but wear something nice. I'm taking you somewhere fancy."

"You have to admit those places have the best dessert."

"They do, and you know how I like to spoil you," Trunks said as he kissed him on the cheek.

During some down time in the office, Trunks took out the rings in his pocket. He didn't know why he carried them everywhere he went, but he was hoping a moment would present itself as the right time to ask Goten to marry him. He had some doubt that it might be too soon to ask with everything that has happened between them. A knock interrupted his thoughts. "Come in," Trunks said as he point the rings back in his pocket.

"You seem in a better mood. Did your time away help?" asked his secretary.

"Yes it did," Trunks smiled. "Thanks for asking. So, what's the rest of my day look like?"

"You have a meeting before lunch and then after lunch you have some proposals to look over," said the secreter as she put some papers on his desk. "Otherwise you have nothing else scheduled for the day."

"Thank you," Trunks said as the secretary closed his door. He prepared what he needed for the meeting in half an hour.

Sitting at the head of the table in the conference room, Trunks looked at his team and smiled confidently. "Well lets get down to business shall we."

"The Capsule Corporation airline is doing well in numbers."

"Our customers have been enjoying the flight, especially since we give them the luxury experience. We haven't had a compliant yet."

"Lets try to keep it that way," said Trunks.

"Have you any ideas for your next project Mr. Briefs?"

"I'm working on it, but I assure you whatever comes next, I hope to be a success."

"We have all the faith in you Mr. President. Honestly we didn't think we could get things done when you left for a while but your constant communication assures us of how capable you really are."

"Well I love this company and I want to make sure it continues to succeed."

"We're glad to hear it."

"Well the meeting is adjourned unless anyone has anything else to bring up," said Trunks.

"Are you still seeing that man, um what was his name? Oh right Son Goten."

"Yes I am but that has nothing to do with my professional life. I'd rather keep my personal life private."

"Understood Mr. Briefs."

"All right have a nice day everyone, back to work."
