Ch 36

Goten didn't remember how he got to the bed, but he found himself wrapped in a robe under the covers. Sitting up, he saw out the window. It was morning and before Goten could wonder where his mate was, the bathroom door opened and Trunks came out shirtless and wearing nothing but sweat pants.

"Hey chibi," he said softly as he sat on the bed next to his mate. "How are you feeling?"

"Better. Thanks for tucking me in last night. I guess I kind of lost my mind yesterday with everything that happened."

"I know you're overwhelmed right now, but we'll get through this. Why don't we have some fun today? It's my day off."

"Having sex all day isn't my idea of fun Trunks."

"Ha ha you're hilarious but there's so much to do in the Big Apple. You'll have fun, trust me," he said as he kissed him on the check and smirked, "unless you really do want to have sex all day, don't you?"

Goten blushed. "I'm going to get dressed now," said Goten as he grabbed some clothes and changed in the bathroom.

Trunks was right. Goten was having the time of his life in New York. They listened to music in a record store, and went ice skating. Goten laughed so hard as Trunks fell on his ass multiple times.

Sitting in a warm coffee shop, the demi-saiyans watched the views of people walking back and forth on the streets as they sipped on their warm drinks. Goten sighed and Trunks caught onto it right away and smiled. "Enjoying yourself?"

"Yeah I had fun. Well I mean I always have fun when we're together."

"Me to chibi," he said as he took his hand in his. He felt Goten squeeze his hand. "Look I know this is probably the last thing you want to talk about right now so just let me know if you have any questions about our bond. Let me know if I cross the line with you because I wouldn't want it to happen again. I don't want to hurt you."

"I know you don't Trunks. I trust you. I love you," he smiled as they both leaned in for a soft kiss, which earned some gasps and cheers from customers.

After some sparring without powers in a private area of the park, the two demi-saiyans were hungry and made their way to a burger place for lunch. Trunks was amused as his mate's face lit up as he tried his first burger in America. He had many more burgers after that.

"Did I tell you or did I tell you chibi?"

"You sure weren't kidding about these burgers Trunks. They're delicious," he said as he rubbed his belly.

"Well I'm glad you liked—he said before he swallowed his final burger and was interrupted by Goten's loud burp that seemed to surround the room because they received many stares. Trunks laughed as Goten blushed in embarrassment. Nice one Goten."

"Excuse me," he said as he stared at his lap.

Trunks couldn't help but admire how adorable and hot he looked at the same time. 'Only you chibi,' he smiled.

"Um you think we can leave now? I'm done."

"Sure," Trunks said as they got up, left the tip, and followed his mate out the door.

Back in their warm hotel room, they shared a shower together, washing each other. Trunks never knew he could find such pleasure in the situation without sex. Because he knew with Goten, it just wasn't about sex. It was about companionship. Trunks enjoyed his company and conversation.

Goten laughed, which made Trunks wonder as he looked at the raven-haired saiyan. "I just find it amusing that you haven't tried to have your way with me yet."

Trunks smiled. "I will if you want me to, but it's not just about sex for me. Although it seems that I want you all the time, your presence is enough for me. Well a kiss and hug here and there is fine with me to."

"I know," he smiled, "I was just teasing you," he laughed.

"Why you—he said as they wrestled around on the shower floor.

Laughter echoed the walls of their hotel room and some kisses here and there were taken by Trunks. He touched and caressed his skin without sex. All he needed was to see his mate below him and to feel his love through his eyes.
