Trunks gently placed Cassie in his bed and covered her with his blankets; he'd yet to make his bed today. At this moment, he's glad he didn't; it made it easier.
"Mmm…" Cassie made a soft noise and rolled on her side, and tucked her legs up a little.
'She's too damn adorable. What am I going to do with her?' Trunks asked himself, tucking some hair behind her ear.
With Goten & Aria:
"Where are we?" Aria breathed when they finally pulled away to breathe.
"My place. My older brother lives elsewhere, and my parents are out all afternoon. Do you want this or no?" Goten asked, looking at Aria.
Aria didn't reply; she just pulled Goten into a deep, passionate kiss.
"You've been holding back." Goten noted, lifting her into his arms.
"You have no idea. Now shut up." Aria answered and then ordered.
"Kind of pushy; I like it." Goten replied, taking her to his room, where he threw her onto his bed.
"Are you the type to like it rough, or no?" Goten asked, climbing on top of her.
"Either way. As long as we feel good; that's all that matters to me. What of you?" Aria answered and then asked, reaching her hand down to rub Goten's cock through his shorts.
"You've had sex before?" Goten asked, watching Aria, teasing her a little.
"Yeah, and? You're not so innocent yourself." Aria shot back.
"I never claimed to be. I'm just making sure you know what you're getting yourself into. Personally, I like a girl who knows what they're doing—and what they want." Goten answered, leaning down to start kissing Aria's neck.
"Hmm. And what if you were with someone who's never had sex and didn't know what they were doing or wanted? What if you were meant to be with Cassie?" Aria hummed and then sternly asked.
"Well, I'm not meant to be with her; I'm meant to be with you and Trunks is meant to be with her. However, if I were meant to be with Cassie, I'd take things slow—go at her pace, and make sure to ask what she liked and didn't like. Sorry. What I mean to say is, I'll make sure she knows to tell me what she likes and doesn't like." Goten answered, causing Aria to smile a little.
Every passing minute Goten spends with Aria; he brings her out of her shell just a little at a time.
"I have another question or two before we continue—and I need the answers." Aria firmly told Goten, pushing him away.
"Have you met his parents? As gruff as Vegeta is, he cares about his family more than anything—even fighting. Which, if you would've met him years and years ago, that statement would be almost false; he used to be obsessed with becoming stronger. I mean, he still is—but he does love his family more—especially Bulma. But my point is, with Vegeta is, he wouldn't ever let Trunks hurt whoever he's with. Bulma, she's great, but can be scary—and Trunks is a mama's boy; he loves and respects her more than anything or anyone—except for maybe Cassie. But if she ever caught him disrespecting a girl—or anyone who didn't deserve it, she'd kick his ass. Trunks will never hurt Cassie and will always treat her right; he will always care and take care of her. Yes, he's had sex before—a few times, but he always makes sure to ask how his girl feels and if she likes something or not; he never pushes or forces sex or anything on anyone. You have nothing to worry about with him." Goten answered the question burning in Aria's mind before she could even ask.
It shocked Aria because she wasn't used to people knowing what she was thinking—especially when it came to Cassie. Not like that anyway. Most knew when she was worried about Cassie, but not stuff like what Goten just answered. Or when she'd ask someone, they didn't care and would say they'd do as they pleased; Goten was kind and considerate—and honest.
Other than Aria and friendship, Goten didn't want anything to do with Cassie; he just wanted Aria. That became very apparent with his next words that came out of his mouth.
"Would you care if I marked you? You know—as mine and mine alone? And only you?" Goten asked, looking Aria in the eyes.
"Wh-what?" Aria asked, shocked.
"Can I mark you as mine?" Goten asked, leaning closer to her, and then whispered, "please?"
"Uh. Uh. Uh… Sure. Ok." Aria answered, embarrassed.
"You know… I don't care what anyone else—or you have to say; you're absolutely adorable when you blush. And you are so, so beautiful. Hahaha. But now—I'm sorry." Goten sincerely told Aria, making her blush even darker, causing him to chuckle a little before apologizing.
Aria knew what that apology meant—and she braced herself for the pain she knew she was about to endure.
After a few awkward seconds, Goten found a spot on the spot between Aria's shoulder and neck on her left and bit down.
Immediately, Aria tensed up, clutched at Goten's blankets, and held her breath. She never screamed—not for even a second; however, she did pass out somewhere during the marking ritual.
"Aria?" Goten asked after pulling away.
After making sure she was breathing, Goten sighed but smiled.
"Well—at least she's mine now." 'Now, it's up to Trunks…' Goten spoke out loud, moving some hair from Aria's forehead before thinking to himself, covering Aria with his blanket.
After a few minutes of sitting on his bed, watching Aria sleep, Goten heard a crash coming from the living room area.
Getting up, Goten closed his window and its curtain before slowly walking to his door.
He got ready before pushing his door open and going on the attack, only to be stopped by Gohan.
"Jesus!" Both Goten and Gohan exclaimed, backing away from one another.
"Hold on a second." Goten instructed, walking to his room.
After making sure Aria was still asleep, Goten gently shut his door and went back to Gohan.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be home with Videl and Pan?" Goten asked, looking at Gohan.
"Aren't you and Ariana supposed to be at Bulma and Vegeta's with Trunks and Cassandra?" Gohan asked, watching a sheepish Goten.
"I thought so…" Gohan sighed.
"Well—what are you doing here?" Goten asked, looking at Gohan.
"Come with me." Gohan sighed, making Gohan follow him to the backyard.
"I came to check up on you. Bulma called Dad because Vegeta's not answering his communicator right now; I guess Bulma's angry with him about something or other. But she called Dad, who talked to Vegeta, who called me. Make sure not to have sex until the sun reaches its highest point at noon. Mark her, yes. But do not have sex yet. It doesn't matter if she's a virgin or not; you have to wait to take her until the sun is at its highest point—at noon. Because it will be your and her first time, it still counts—and with you it's consensual. Unlike you, Trunks isn't as lucky. Cassandra is still a virgin—and is over the moon, not the sun like Ariana. Trunks has to wait to take Cassandra's virginity until, not is the moon at its highest point at midnight—but he also has to wait until it's a full moon. Also, you and Ariana need to be directly under the sun—and as close to it as you possibly can on Earth. Same with Trunks and Cassandra; they need to be under the moon, and as close to it as they possibly can, being on Earth. I'll suggest to you what I suggested to Trunks. Find a large peak on a cliff or something and take the girls there; you'll be as close to the sun/moon as you can get. If neither you nor Trunks follow the rules, your marks on those girls will mean nothing. Not to mention, you have to discuss things with Trunks as well." Gohan sternly explained to Goten.
"Why do I have to discuss anything with Trunks? Yes, he's my best friend—and is with my mate's sister, but why do I have to discuss my sex life with him?" Goten demanded, annoyed.
"Because Cassandra's still a virgin. While it wasn't by her choice, Ariana is not a virgin. Either way, one of them is still a virgin. In order for any of this to work, you have to follow the rules. You have the luxury of having your and Ariana's first time any day at noon—so long as it's not cloudy and there's sun. Trunks does not get that same luxury because he needs a full moon; he only has one chance once a month to take her virginity. And because he has to plan, you have to go along with it because Cassandra has to lose her virginity twelve hours after you and Ariana have your first time. Don't look at me like that. I don't make the rules; I just follow them. You know damn well how Vegeta gets. And surprisingly enough, Dad is being serious about all this as well. It's also not my fault you, Trunks, and these girls are the prophecy or whatever. It's also not my fault that you and Trunks fell for the two most powerful witches out there." Gohan explained before stating facts.
"I know… But it's frustrating; Aria's so beautiful and smart. And she smells so good." Goten replied.
"Resist, Goten. Talk to Trunks and figure something out. And yes… We all know Ariana's smart. Be careful with that; she is smart—incredibly smart. She's the one you have to watch what you say around; you got the smart sister." Gohan replied, looking at the sky.
"Yes, I know…" Goten sighed.
"The older one, yes?" Gohan asked, looking back to Goten.
"Yeah. I figured as much; she certainly acts like an older protective sibling." Gohan replied.
"She's not that much older." Goten argued right away.
"Right. How much older is she?" Gohan asked, narrowing his eyes.
"I think they said they were about twelve hours apart. We thought it was a bit weird and unusual for twins to be twelve hours apart. But then Trunks and I both remembered that they weren't born on Earth—so maybe the births there were different than from here on Earth. And seeing as they're witches born of the Sun and the Moon—it makes even more sense." Goten answered, watching Gohan—who was just staring back at him.
"Ok. I thought they were a day or so apart. I guess I was wrong." Gohan calmly spoke his mind.
"Nope. Just twelve hours or something like that." Goten replied.
"Well, I should be headed back to Videl and Pan. Once she wakes up, maybe you should head back to Trunks's—before Vegeta or Dad come looking. Or worse yet, Bulma or Mom." Gohan warned, looking at Goten before flying away.
With Trunks & Cassie:
Trunks was watching Cassie sleep when Bulma walked in.
"Ok. I finally got a hold of your father… I will leave it up to you and Cassie, but your father said something about you two having sex was inevitable and just to let you sleep in the same bed. It's up to you, but I've also brought you the futon—that way you can still sleep in the same room. You're also welcome to shut your door if you two so please. How is she?" Bulma asked, watching Cassie.
"She seems ok. She's not screaming or crying—or anything indicating she's having a nightmare. However, she's not very—still, I guess you could say. It's almost like she can't get comfy or something with how much she moves around." Trunks answered, not taking his eyes off Cassie.
"I don't know… Maybe if Goten ever brings Aria back, you can ask her; she probably has an answer." Bulma suggested.
"Right…" Trunks sighed, scratching his head.
"Something wrong?" Bulma asked, concerned.
Trunks was going to ask what she meant but realized he scratched his head; he only scratched his head the way he did when he was stressed, concerned, or had something on his mind.
"Honestly? I'm conflicted." Trunks started.
"About sex?" Bulma asked, looking at Trunks.
"No. I have no problem waiting until she's ready. I haven't even kissed her yet—and I want to so badly. I also want to make her mine—I want to mark her as mine. I want to mark as mine so no other man can touch or hurt her. But I want her to want that as well; I want it to be her decision. But we barely know each other; I'm not sure she wants that yet." Trunks admitted.
"You really do love this girl already, don't you?" Bulma asked, only a little shocked.
"More than I've ever loved anything or anyone before." Trunks replied, causing Bulma to smile.
"You'll figure it out. If you truly love her—and I see that you do, you'll know what the right thing to do is. I have to run to the store. Do you want anything?" Bulma proudly told her son before asking.
"Uhh… Some instant meals?" Trunks asked, looking at Bulma.
"Of course. I'll see you after a while. But before I go, I want to check her blood sugar." Bulma replied and then stated, walking over to Cassie.
"How is she?" Trunks asked after a minute or so.
"She's just fine; her blood sugar is normal." Bulma answered, walking out of the room.
"Mom!" Trunks called, standing up.
"What is it?" Bulma asked, peeking in.
"Thank you—for all of this." Trunks thanked his mom, hugging her.
"You're welcome. As long as you're happy—that's all that matters to me." Bulma sincerely told Trunks, hugging him in return…
