"Ah, ah, ah!" Goten said as he moved in and out of his mate at a frantic pace.

"Go—god Go—Goten don't stop!" he screamed as Goten picked up the pace.

Through the pleasure Trunks looked up at his beautiful mate moving inside of him and he smiled. His eyes were close, concentrating on his pleasure, and his body was covered in sweat.

"Tr—Trunks, I—I'm going to—he was interrupted by his essence spilling onto the bed of their new capsule home.

Trunks watched as he came out from inside him and lied beside him on the bed, breathing heavily as he smiled.

"Yo—you were amazing tonight," said Trunks as Goten blushed.

"Really, I couldn't tell by all the loud screaming coming from your mouth," Goten smirked. It was Trunks' turn to blush.

Trunks reached for his mate, and Goten knew Trunks wanted to hold him close. Goten sighed as he snuggled up in his sweaty body. Trunks pulled the covers over their bodies. It got cold during the nights in the mountain area, and Trunks always liked to make sure his mate was taken care of.

"You happy?" Trunks asked.

Goten smiled. "Yeah, I don't know how it could get any better than this," he said as Trunks kissed his forehead.

"To think years ago I never thought this would happen. I never thought I could be this happy."

Goten could sense Trunks' overwhelming emotions. He knew Trunks was holding back his tears. He held onto Trunks tightly. "I'm glad you're happy Trunks, but I can sense you're thinking about something else."

"I'm just thinking about how our bonding will affect us from now on."

"You're afraid of what it will do to our relationship."

"We're not like my dad and mom Goten. We're both saiyans. It's just going to be a tough road for us."

"We're bonded together for life so no matter what we do to each other, we'll can't escape each other, so we'll have to be there for each other. It will make us stronger in the end."

"I hope so chibi. I mean I've heard stories from my father about saiyan bonding gone wrong."

"I think you forget sometimes that we're human to Trunks. We're not any other couple. We can't base our experiences on others. We'll go crazy if we do that."

"You're right," he smiled. "Kami who knew I would be saying that so often to you."

"You had to find out I was smart some time."

"Ok, if you're so smart," Trunks said as he shifted, so he was on top of his mate, "what am I thinking about right now?"

"You want to go another round of sex," he smiled proudly.

"No," he leaned as he captured Goten's lips with his own, seeing the adorable confusion on his mate's, "I want to make love," he whispered in his mate's ear.

"Oh kami Trunks just take me," he said with lust in his eyes.

Prologue: 6 Months Later…

"We don't mean to hurt each other. He's just become so angry, jealous, and possessive of me," he said as he pulled the sleeve down on his shirt. "I can't breathe sometimes," he sighed, "kami I can't believe I'm thinking about moving back in with my mom just to be away from him. I should I want to stay and work it out."

"I'm sorry it's been so hard for you," said Bulma in an empathetic voice. "I don't know what's gotten into my son accept the saiyan bond."

"I mean on all accounts this would border on abuse, but Trunks and I are saiyans."

"And you're having trouble deciding whether it's normal or abnormal."

"I don't know what to do anymore Bulma. I'm scared and angry all the time, and I can't live my life this way. He needs help Bulma. I think there is something else inside him that he is not dealing with."

"Dr. Simon."

"How can I get him help when the first person who gave it to him turned out to be a monster? I mean if I can't get through to him, then who can?"

"Come with me," said Bulma as she took her jacket off the hook, slipped on some shoes, and headed outside with Goten.

"Where are we going?" he asked as he got in the passenger seat beside her.

"Capsule Corporation," she said as she started the car, pulled out of the driveway, and drove into the night.

"What are you planning?"

"Do you trust me Goten?"

"Of course I do Bulma."

"Then have faith in me."

Goten's heart was racing as he could see the building in sight. When she parked, he reluctantly got of the car, feeling faint for some reason, and followed her inside. Once they were in the hall where Trunks' office was located, Bulma knocked on the door. The silence was too long, so she opened the door to see a horrific and heart breaking scene. Her son was crying in her husband's arms with blood spilling through his exposed cuts on his arms and all she could hear was the sound of Goten's body hit the floor.

"They shouldn't have bonded. I knew something like this would happen," said Gohan as he paced back and forth in Bulma's lab. He looked at Trunks in a rejuvenation tank and his brother on a hospital bed.

"Arguing about it isn't going to get us anywhere Gohan. It won't change what happened," said Vegeta.

"What can we do for them now?" asked Bulma.

"Let them sleep. They need to rest with the amount of stress they've been through," said Vegeta.

"You're more than welcome to stay Gohan," said Bulma.

"Thanks Bulma," he said as he gave one last look over his brother and Trunks before he turned around and followed Bulma and Vegeta out of the lab.

Bulma, Vegeta, and Gohan hoped the couple would survive what they were going through, but Gohan had his doubts. He could only be here for his brother now and get him through this rough time.

Goten woke up to find himself in Bulma's lab. Looking around, he saw his mate in the regeneration tank. 'He—he tried to kill himself.' He clinched his fist as tears found their way down his cheek. 'How did things go so wrong?' He felt his head begin to throb as he sensed movement from the tank.

"Trunks!" exclaimed Goten as he turned off the tank, the water retreating into where it came from. He watched as Trunks stepped out of the machine, his eyes to the floor. He couldn't bear to look at Goten.

"Why? Why would decide to take your own life?"

"Are you blind?" Trunks asked, getting the courage to look his mate in the eye. "Look at where we are, where we've ended up and it's all my fault. Lets just face it I'm not strong enough to survive this relationship."

"Yes you are I'm not giving up on us Trunks. I don't want to die, and that's what you almost did. You not only tried to end your live but mine as well. Kami you're so selfish sometimes!"

"I—I'm sorry but what can we do chibi?"

"You need help because what you're going through is more than just our bonding. There's something you haven't dealt with, and it's what happened between you and—

"Don't even say that monster's name!" Trunks yelled.

"You're not angry with me. You're angry with yourself."

"There's no one I can possibly talk to who I can trust to keep my secrets, secret." He watched as his mate was thinking and a smile came to his face.

"Master Roshi can help. You know he was a big help to me when I was struggling with my dad disappearing all the time. I trust him so what do you say Trunks?"

"Well if you trust him, then what do I have to lose," he said as he felt Goten's arms around him, and Trunks sighed. "Kami it's been so long, 5 months too long chibi," he said as he held Goten tightly to his body.

"We're not having sex in your mom's lab, and I think we need to get on the right track in our relationship before we even consider having sex."

Trunks sighed. "I hate when you're right," he said as he turned his head and kissed Goten on the cheek. "I love you."

"I love you to Trunks," he said as he softly kissed him on the lips.

Bulma smiled at the touching scene as she turned to see Vegeta and Gohan heading her way. "It looks like they're going to be ok," she said.

"How can you tell?" asked Gohan.

"My son's got a very strong mate. He'll make Trunks strong again," said Bulma. "They'll survive," she said as Vegeta's arm went around her shoulders.

Trunks' therapy with Master Roshi was helping Trunks deal with what happened to him from a child to a young adolescent. Trunks and Goten's relationship was back on track. Their fights were non-existent while their sex life has become more frequent. Their families are happy with the progress they have made so far. Though where life leads them is uncertain, they are ready to face the world because they have the power of love to guide them.
