Chapter 5: Kiss the …?

Author's Note:

Hiya, chapter 5 in the house!

Now there is drinking, I'm not sure if there is an age limit in the Dragon Ball universe, but let's just say there isn't...

PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE! It's very selfish as it not only can harm you, it can harm innocent lives. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

As for Trunks and Bulla, they love each other a lot, but when you're a teenager you have lots of fights with your siblings. Or at least I did, it's like you love them, but they say and do things that get under your skin sometimes.

As always, thank you for supporting and I hope you stay tuned for the next chapters! ^_^


Goten knew that the party was going to get wild, he and Trunks had already started pounding away at the mixed drinks. After 10 drinks each, the effects of the alcohol started to wear in. The room started spinning and the girl suddenly appeared 20x hotter.

The duo started chatting up a few girls in hopes of getting lucky. Trunks was already shmoozing and had two girls wrapped around his finger. Suddenly, Goten found himself comparing all of the ladies to Bulla; he realized he missed her and needed to find her. He excused himself from the convo and head straight into the crowd, hoping to spot a head of blue.

Trunks paid no mind as he thought Goten was going to get more drinks. They'd be getting laid tonight and hopefully Goten would get his mind off of Valese.

After a few minutes of search, he found his brother and Bulla mingling with a few Saiyajin guys. Goten approached the small group, and squeezed his way next to Bulla.

He leaned down and whispered into her ear, "Excuse me miss, who said you could look that good at my party."

Her eyes widened, and her face was flushed, "Goten-kun!", she quickly put her hand over her ear and moved closer to Gohan. He was clearly tipsy and she wanted no part in being another notch on his bedpost.

"Yup that's me!", He then turned to the other folks and asked, "whatcha playing here, I wanna join."

"Hey Goten, great birthday dude. We're just playing truth or dare with Bulla-chan and Gohan." Turles replied. He stood by his friend Cabba, who looked like he was a few beers in. The boys explained the rules, you spin the bottle and if it lands on you, you'd have to choose either to say a truth or do a dare. If you failed to do either you'd be given a punishment.

Turles spun the bottle and it landed on Goten, the older Saiyajin smirked and asked. "Ok birthday boy, truth or dare."

"Dare of course", Goten replied confidently.

"Ok, I dare you to call up the hottest girl you know and ask her on a date, right now, infront of all of us." Turles said, "and don't worry, if you can't there's always this baby right here you can down."

"I would call her but I don't have her number…" Goten said nervously. "Guess, I'm drinking that then, Turles." Goten reached for the drink and took a swig, it was a mix of Hennessey, Patron, Fireball, Red Bull, Beer, Jägermeister, and Sapphire Bay Gin. He gagged at the taste of the drink but had to keep it down. He then reached for the bottle and spun it.

The bottle landed on Bulla and Goten asked, "Bulla-chan, truth or dare?"

"Truth of course!", Bulla said giggling. She was not about to get dared to do something stupid by this intoxicated Goten.

"Ok, tell us who is the best looking among all of us right here?" Goten asked smugly.

"Oh boy, that's a hard one… you're all really handsome, but the best looking would be you or Gohan-kun!" Bulla said as she felt her face flush a little.

"Ouuhhh our little princess has a type?!" Turles teased, "I'm sad you didn't pick me though…"

"Well you're handsome too Turles!", Bulla said out of habit, she didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings this early in the night.

"Bulla-chan you didn't answer the question right, I'll give you another chance, if not you'll have to face my punishment." Goten smirked.

Bulla was not down to drink any more mystery drinks, she already drank 2 of Turles concotions and 3 of Cabba's ones. "Fine, it's Gohan-kun ok?!" Bulla said slightly annoyed.

Gohan's eyes widened a bit, he was flattered, usually girls went for his younger brother not him. In his eyes Bulla was pretty, but she was too much of a younger sister to him. His cheeks got red and he lightly patted Bulla's shoulders.

Bulla spun the bottle and it landed on Cabba. The poor boy had been silent the whole night since he had too much to drink. He was a bit zoned out and clearly not 100% coherent.

Goten was annoyed at Bulla's answer. She could of said him, it was his birthday after all. Plus why was his brother putting his hand on her shoulder, didn't he have a girlfriend in university. Lastly, Cabba did not look ok, he was swaying a bit and could not understand a word of what they were saying. "Yo Turles, I think your buddy needs to have a rest" Goten said casually.

Turles agreed and went to waved down a server to order a water for Cabba. This left the remaining Trio to talk amongst themselves for the time being.

Goten excused himself to find more drinks, leaving Bulla with Gohan. She leaned up and spoke into Gohan's ear, "Let's go, I've been trying to ditch these lameos all night, we need to meet my mister perfect boyfriend, remember."

"Bulla-chan relax, we'll find your boyfriend! But it's very rude to just ditch Turles and Cabba without saying bye. Plus we have to wait for Goten to get back too.." Gohan said calmly. "Once they get back I'd love to dip and head to the food area. I'm starving."

"No… we're going to head to the dance floor and mingle to find my boyfriend, then we can head to the food area. Gohan, don't forget your promise." She pouted.

"How about Goten then? You said he was handsome during the game." Gohan teased.

"Gohan-san! It's not like that…", she said, " you see, if I didn't pick you guys I'd have to choose between Turles and Cabba. I don't know them that well you see…"

"Ok Bulla-chan, you're right and promise is a promise, so tell me, who's the best looking guy you've seen here?" Gohan asked, she was just too fun to tease.

"Well that's easy – " she was cut off by Goten's sudden return.

"Hey! What are we talking about?" Goten said as he poked his head between Bulla and Gohan. He handed both Bulla and Gohan another shot of whisky, but Gohan refused.

"Ehh Goten, enough of that; how much have you had to drink? We're going home soon, I told Okaa-san I wouldn't let it get too crazy tonight. It's almost 9 pm!" Gohan scolded. He was starting to feel a little tipsy as well.

"Onii-chan, you're a kill joy! Just tell her I fell asleep at Trunk-kun's house. It's fine, let's enjoy this party!" Goten said happily. He then turned to Bulla and smiled. "Thank you for planning this tonight." They cheers and downed their shots.

Bulla beamed at him, she was so happy he was having a great time. She thought about Gohan's question and realized, the best looking guy she's seen was Goten, without a doubt. Maybe it was the alcohol taking the wheel, but suddenly, she didn't want to meet anyone else, she just wanted to spend more time with him tonight.

Goten grabbed more cocktails from a server who passed by, and handed one to his brother and Bulla. She downed the drink in a few gulps and slammed the glass on the table. Both brothers had their full attention on her, then she suddenly leaned in and whispered into Goten's ear. "Let's ditch these losers."

Goten smirked and grabbed her hand, the two bolted and disappeared into the sea of people. Gohan smiled slightly and shook his head, those two were bound to get into some trouble tonight, but he would let his little brother have a bit of fun.

Gohan stayed behind and when Turles returned with a bottle of water, he began to question where Goten and Bulla went. Gohan insisted that he was still there and it was all right to continue the game, but Turles scoffed and said it was no fun since Bulla was gone anyways. He'd just have to find another girl to take home.

Gohan was relieved, now he could make his way to the food table with zero obstacles. When he arrived to the food table he spotted his senpai from school and made small talk while indulging in food and wine.

-xxxxxx-

The music was blaring and the DJ was playing a mix of trap hiphop, Goten loved dancing to this when he was drunk because girls would twerk and he would get a really good show. It was a little surreal to him that he was with Bulla, she wasn't twerking, and instead she just had her tiny body pressed onto his chest as she swayed back and forth.

Bulla's entire body felt light, she noticed lights were flashing, and she felt like dancing. Unfortunately, when she tried to get down, she'd feel dizzy and would probably fall if she wasn't clinging onto Goten like a koala. She liked the way she fit in his embrace and they ended up clinging onto each other and swaying to what felt like a lifetime. She swore she'd sit down when her feet hurt, but for now she'd just revel in the moment.

On the other side of the dance floor Trunks and Uub were chatting up a couple girls, and from the corner of his eye he spotted a head of blue nestled in his best friend's chest. Trunk's had to switch into cockblock mode and do some damage control before he lost his two closest human relationships. He smiled and politely excused himself, but assured his friends he'd be right back with more fun.

"Yo, lovebirds, come sit down, we're going to play a game.", the purple hair boy said as he yanked his sister out of Goten's grabbed Bulla's hand and dragged her towards Uub and the other girls, he made sure Goten was following behind them.

He then told the group to follow them to the table and directed Goten to sit between the two girls.

Meanwhile Trunks made sure Bulla sat next to him. He noticed his sister was drunk but decided that it would be best to sit her next to him so he could keep an eye out for any lecherous eyes. He then spoke, "Yo, so we're playing spin the bottle, so whoever the bottle lands on has to take a shot."

"I'm leaving, I had too much to drink." Bulla complained, she lightly hit her brother on the chest and gave him a look to show that she was serious.

"Don't be a sore loser Bulla, oh wait… it's actually past your bed time right?" He laughed, "Don't worry, I'll help you."

"This is boring, I was just playing a truth or dare game with Turles and Cabba, it was really lame." Bulla replied. She wasn't going to let her brother get under her skin, he would fold sooner versus later.

"That's because they're boring, besides this isn't truth or dare, we're just drinking here." Trunks said, "But if you need you can go, Goten should stay though, it's his birthday after all."

Trunks knew he was calling his siter's bluff, she would stay if Goten stayed.

But Bulla was full of surprises, she looked across to see the two girls getting handsy with Goten, and he didn't seem to mind one bit. She bit her bottom lip and realized that she was a fool to think that something could happen with Goten and here. After all, he was Goten, not the perfect boyfriend she was looking for.

"Move," she said as shoved Trunks and stood up, "I need fresh air, it's getting too hot in here." She rushed out of the venue. Maybe it was the alcohol again, but she was literally on the verge of tears and her stomach was beginning to do flips. As soon as she reached outside, she squat down and started sobbing.

"Hey beautiful, I saw you come out in a rush, are you ok?", it came from an unfamiliar voice.

"Fine act- BLERG-", and the waterfall of vomit began. She tasted Rum, caviar, vodka, bitters, and lemon all at the same time. It was official, the night couldn't get any worse. Her tears were flowing as she was vomiting.

A little hand was rubbing circles on her back and though it felt soothing, it was nothing like what she was used to. "Empty it all out, and let me grab you a bottle of water. I'll be back."

After her mystery companion left, she was left again in the dark night, she looked around and noticed there were other people who had come out to take a break and simply some that fell asleep outside. The night breeze blew and after a few moments she began to feel the consequences of the cold fall breeze.

"Oiii you stupid, don't run out here by yourself!" Trunks yelled. He ran up to his sister and placed his quilted bomber jacket over her shivering form.

"Ok, I'm stupid, so stop yelling at me and take me home." She was still a little light headed and felt like she would vomit any time.

"Yup, I texted Gohan-san, he'll be out in a moment." Trunks said as he began to rub her shoulders and arms to warm her up. It wasn't working so he brought her into a hug. She put her hand over her mouth and leaned onto her brother's shoulder. "Stupid, tell me when you're not feeling ok next time. I get worried too."

"Yeah if you're so worried then take me home now!" Bulla demanded as she glared at her brother.

Suddenly the chubby savior appeared again. "Oh sorry, am I interrupting? Here's a water, are you feeling better, Bulla?" He handed her the water, and she nodded, she didn't want to say anything incase more vomit came out. She felt the acid in her throat.

"Sorry Oolong, she usually doesn't drink this much. Thanks for getting her a water." Trunks said politely. He quickly uncapped the bottle and handed it to his sister to drink.

"Don't worry about it, oh and that's your sister Bulla right? Roshi-jiichan told me all about you guys, thanks for having me at the party. By the way, where is Marron?" He asked looking for his blonde ex-housemate.

"Oh she's a bit jet lagged, I think she's sleeping at the house. How long are you staying until?", Trunks asked. He didn't mind Oolong, but he was a bit like his grandfather, perverted but harmless.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, but I can take her back if you want. I'm staying at guest house 1, so it's real close to the main building." Oolong suggested. This could be his chance to sleep with the beautiful Bulla Briefs. He was already mentally thanking his grandpa for sending him to accompany Marron.

"Oh yeah, I texted Gohan-san he should be out in a bit.", Trunks said as he looked around for signs of Gohan. "Funny, he usually never takes this long."

Little did he know, Oolong had put some Ipecac syrup in Gohan's drink and tossed his phone into a Ginger Ale, then proceeded to dump it in the toilet. There was zero chance any messages or calls would be received by Gohan tonight. It was revenge for sabotaging all of Oolong's chances with the girls in their high school.

"Oh, is that guy reliable? He was a bit of a doof in high school." Oolong said casually. " Your sister doesn't look good if you want to stay at the party, I'll take her, no sweat. Actually, just let me take her, I'll go back and grab my coat."

As soon as he headed back in the building Trunks whisper yelled at his sister, "Bulla, you were talking to Oolong?!", Trunks asked. He looked his sister right in the eye and made sure she was ok. She was clearly still drunk.

"Oh, his name is Oolong, I don't know…" Bulla said as she sipped her water. She looked towards the direction of which he left. 'Hm… looks aren't the best, but he sure was nice.'

"Yup, he's Muten Roshi-sama's grandson too, I guess being a pervert runs in the family," Trunks said, "anyhow, don't do anything to make things awkward, Mama wants to maintain a good relationship with them."

"Why are you always accusing me? I haven't even done anything", her tears begin to fall. She shoved her brother and began to walk away. She was stumbling and did not get very far before she fell. She just sat on the ground with tears streaming down her face.

When they were kids Trunks was her idol, she loved everything he did and he always made sure that she was protected. As they started to grow old, he would always be warning her or scolding her for things that she had no intention of doing.

"Bulla stop! At least wait for Gohan-san!" Trunks screamed, he didn't bother going after her because she was fuming and it would probably trigger her to do something stupid in her current state of mind. 'Che, where the hell is Gohan-san…?'

His eyes were fixated on his sister, but he did not dare approach her as it would cause a scene. He needed the older Son brother asap, before that perverted pig Oolong insists on taking Bulla home. Luckily Goten steps out just in the knick of time, he quickly asked Trunks to fill him in before approaching Bulla who was currently sitting on the ground with her knees pulled to her chest.

"Come on Bulla-chan, get on my back, I'll take you home, you love piggy back rides." Goten said sweetly.

"Go away, go back to your bitches. You and Onii-chan are the same. I'll just wait for Oolong, at least he cares", Bulla said in her drunken rage.

Goten reached his hand out and tried to brush her bangs out of her face, but at that moment Oolong stepped up to the two of them. He quickly kneeled before Bulla and put his coat on her, they were the same size so it fit her perfectly.

Before Oolong could offer her a hand to get up, Goten scooped the girl in his hands and carried her up. She immediately punched him in the stomach and told him to put her down.

"Don't scoop me up so quickly, you idiot, I'll throw up," she told Goten. "Besides, just go back to the party, Oolong's going to take me home." She waved him off, and she grabbed Oolong hand as she attempted to walk back to her house. Truth be told, in her current state she couldn't tell left from right.

Goten grabbed Bulla's free hand. She stopped and yelled at him to let go. He sighed and said "Ok, I'll just walk in back of you guys ok. So let me walk you home too, Bulla-chan."

"Do whatever you want," She said sassily. She held Oolong's hand tighter as she began to stumble towards the general direction of her house. Her brother scoffed and headed back to the party, after tonight's drama he would need a few more drinks and a good lay to cool off.

Oolong's hand was tiny, maybe just a bit bigger than her own, and he was the same height as her. His pink hair was unique, but his face reminded her of a pig. If she looked past all of this, could he possibly be the great love she was looking for?

She noticed Goten trailing behind of them and immediately became annoyed. Why was he here? He should go back to the party and let her have her alone time with Oolong.

Several minutes later they arrived to guest house 1, Oolong spoke, "Well I'm staying here, let's get her inside so she can at least change out of her outfit, I think she got a bit of vomit on it. The main house is still 10 minutes away so I can lend her one of my jumpers."

Bulla beamed at Oolong, "You're a little sweetheart.", the words came out so quick, and she wanted to take them back as soon as they left her lips.

"And you're a cutie.", he said as he smirked to her. He then turned to Goten, "you can head back to the party now, I can take it from he-" vomit laced his shirt as Bulla tried to cover her mouth.

Goten quickly grabbed Bulla and flew her to the bathroom, she was trying to hold back the vomit with her hands but immediately let go once they reached the toilet. She was hunched over the toilet bowl coughing and Goten was whispering in her ear as he slowly stroked her back. This was the feeling she was used to, soothing, warm, and comforting.

She got up flushed the toilet, washer her hands and rinsed her mouth at lightning speed. Goten was in shock and followed behind her. She immediately sobered up and went to find Oolong.

"So sorry about that, I usually don't drink… at all! Thanks so much for helping me, if there is anything I can do to repay you, please let me know." She said as she bowed towards him.

He was taken a back and his eyes widened. "Oh… yeah uhm. You can just repay me with one kiss." He smiled sheepishly.

"Uhmm well you see-" she was cut off, and her eyes widened. Goten had put his lips on Oolong almost immediately. A one second kiss seemed to last forever in her eyes.

"Ick! What's wrong with you Goten!?", Oolong said as he shoved off the black haired boy. "That was hella gross."

Goten laughed, "Well you said you could be repaid with one kiss, but you didn't specify from who. So I went for it." He stuck out his tongue mockingly. "I'll take Bulla-chan home, you need to change your shirt and you're leaving tomorrow morning right? Have a good rest, and give my regards to Muten Roshi-sama. We'll train there !"

He grabbed Bulla and rushed out of the guest house. He didn't need that pervert Oolong with them any longer.

Bulla seemed to sober up quite quickly, she took off her shoes as the pain was beginning to bother her and Goten immediately noticed. He put her on his back and carried her. She let her head rest on his back as he silently carried her towards the house.

-xxxxxx-

When they reached the door her stomach cried for food. She was so embarrassed and prayed Goten didn't hear.

"Ouh, someone's hungry, me too actually. I'm craving a burger with fries right now…" Goten said.

"And Milkshakes!", Bulla added. "I can call the chefs; they're working overtime tonight so we can have something delivered to the house!"

She could never stay mad at him, and she was so glad he covered for her. Turns out her Goten is a lot more reliable than she thought.

After they got into the house Bulla dialed in their order to the chefs before she headed to shower. They informed her the food would be ready and in the house by 30 minutes.

Goten went to shower, and since he was always at the Brief's household he already had a room with a wardrobe set up. He wanted to take a quick shower, eat and fall asleep on the couch while watching a horror movie. His brother wasn't replying to any of his text, and he was sure that his mom was going to give him an earful tomorrow. He might as well spend the rest of his birthday the way he wants to.

Bulla took a quick shower and changed into an oversized baseball tee, and a nice cardigan for her bottoms she chose a cute pair of black ruffle sleep shorts. She threw on thigh high socks since it was a little chilly and headed down the stairs. She also made sure to blow dry her hair nicely so she looked presentable to Goten. As she walked down the stairs she was surprised to see that he was still not out of the shower so she sat in the living room to wait for him.

A few minutes later Goten rushed down, Bulla swear she was almost drooling when she caught sight of him. He was wearing a pair of lowcut black joggers with his Calvin's band showing, and he had his bare chest exposed with his shirt slung over his right shoulder. His hair was still damp and he was holding 2 bottles of water, one for Bulla and the other for himself.

"Sorry Bulla-chan, hair is still wet, I hate getting my shirt damp so I need to wait for it to dry." Goten said as he pointed to his wet head. "Also there's about 10 minutes left before the food gets here…"

"Let me dry it for you!" Bulla offered, she trotted to her bathroom to get her portable hair dryer. Within seconds she headed to the living room and had Goten sit on the ground as she proceeded to dry his hair.

It was soothing, and the two teens did no talking during this process. They were lost in their own world, all of a sudden they were interrupted by the door buzzing. The food arrived and their intimate hair dry session was over.

"I'll get that, put a shirt on Goten-kun." She said as she headed towards the door. She brought in the 7 bags of food and put it on the coffee table.

"Thanks Bulla-chan", Goten said as he grabbed a milkshake and burger. He took a bite and said, "Capsule Burgers are literally the best thing ever!"

"Gross, don't talk with your mouth full, silly," Bulla said as she munched on a fry. "So, are you going to head back to the party after this, it's not even 11 yet."

"What? No, let's watch a horror movie and sleep on the couch! I'll grab a blanket." Goten said excitedly as he rushed to his "room" upstairs. He brought the plush blanket downstairs and set it aside for later.

Bulla put on the movie and set the lights off, she also adjusted the thermostat to 60 degrees. Something about watching movies in the cold dark always made it way scarier. Goten leaned in to get close to her, and the two were touching, shoulder to shoulder.

She was getting cold, so she wrapped herself in the blanket like a burrito, and Goten noticed. He took a corner of the blanket and snuck in, by the middle of the movie Bulla had fallen asleep on Goten's shoulder and he did not notice until the end of the movie. He didn't want to move and risk wake her up. He snuck a hand behind her waist and he rested his head on top of hers, then he fell asleep shortly after, with the rhythm of their breathing in sync.
