Goten......

It was near the end of summer and Goten and I were getting the last swim of the year in. It was the usual kinda day, nothing out of the ordinary except i was feeling a little weird. I have always been able to deal with the fact that I would never be able to be with Goten but for some reason it was effecting me more today. I don' know why. I wanted to get the day over with so i could goto sleep and maby I would feel better tomorrow So after about 2 hours of swimming, wrestling and trying to see who could hold our breaths longer I said "Man for some reason today I am tired! Maby I should head home." It was a horrible lie and I knew it.

Goten replied "Well do you wanna sleep over at my house tonight? Mom said we could order pizza tonight! How about it?"

*Damn! Of course I want to but.....* " Umm... Are you sure they wont mind? I don´t want to impose." *Stupid! You know that wont work!*

"You know they don't care if you spend the night Trunks! What kind of question is that?!?"

"Ok then!" *Then ill just kill myself.... God why do you torture me so!*

I always loved spending the night at Goten's but i knew what was going to happen when I went home...... Id lock myself in my room for a week and die a few thousand deaths because I know I cant have Goten no matter how much I want him. The whole time my mother is trying to get Vegita to talk to me, not that either of them know, and my father saying "The brat's problems aren´t mine so why should I?!?" And i´m glad he refused every time. I'd rather him especally not know, and trying to talk your way out of a "talk" like that is worse than dealing with the problem alone.

After about a half-hour of flying we reached Goten's house. Chi-chi was in the garden "teaching" Videl when to pick what and how. Goku and Gohan were out fishing and Pan was already asleep.

"Mom Trunks is spending the night! Ok?"

"Ok Goten, you too get washed up for dinner. The pizza man is on his way, and I cant have to boys that smell of dirty lake water at my kitchen table!"

"Oh cool we are actually having pizza like you said! Told you Trunks."

Chi-chi ordering pizza for dinner was something that happened maby once in a million years if that often. We ordered pizza at my house at least 2 times a week! Mom dosent like to cook...

"Trunks, dose your kassan know you are here this time?"

The last time I failed to mention the fact that I was sleeping at Goten's and she got more than a little upset. So did my father but only because no one eats dinner until everyone is home.

"Oh ya! I forgot about that. Guess i should tell her this time huh."

"That would probably be best son." Chi-chi said grinning.

"Plus I'd rather not be beaten half to death by Vegita when I get home." I wispered to Goten as we walked into the house.

"I'll go first while you call your kassan. You know where the phone is."

"Ya. Hey I don't have any clothes to wear though."

"You can wear some of mine. We are about the same size. Pick out what you want. Don't worrie my undies are clean!" he said laughingly.

When I called my kassan Bra answered with her high pitched voice. "Hello! Who is this?"

She still hadn´t learned the proper way to answer the phone.

"Its Trunks, put kassan on the phone."

"Ooooh Trunks your in trouble! Tousan is gonna kill you!"

I figured he would kill me some day. Oh well, why not at least I wouldn´t suffer like I knew I would when I went home.

"I don't care just tell kassan that im sleeping at Goten's and ill call tomorrow." *Maby you will actually remember to tell her.*

"Umm..... ok!"

I hung up the phone and turned to see Goten slipping on a pare of boxers on under a towel.

"Oh hey. Didn´t know you were done already!"

"When there is pizza waiting I don't like to waste my time. You find something to wear?"

"Nope. I just finished on the phone."

I found a pare of navy blue sweat pants with the legs cut off, a t-shirt and a pare of my own briefs which I must have left over last time I was there then took a quick shower. I got dressed, except for the shirt that was too small, and went to Goten's room to get another. He was there lying on his bed in his boxers. *Oh man! Damn-it this will be worse than I thought!* Not that it was the first time I had seen him in his underwear but the way I was feeling that day it just made me feel worse.

"Hey the shirt is too small, you have another that might fit me?"

"Sure. Ill get you one."

"Thanks man."

While Goten dug through a stack of once folded clothes on the end of his bed I toweled myself off a bit and tried my hair.

"Hahaha! You look like you need a hair brush my friend!" Goten said as he handed me a shirt identical to the last only bigger and a hair brush.

"Ya! Where is my mind today? I didn't even think of that!"

"The pizza is here. They are already eating. Im waiting for you."

"Ok... We mustn´t make poor little starving Goten wait one second for his food.!"

Thats about the time I had realised I was starving myself! So I put the shirt on, brushed my hair and we made our way to the pizza boxes. about 8 of them sat on the counter in the kitchen 7 of them now empty. The other was left for me and Goten to split.

"Hey kassan can we take this to my room?"

"No way young man! You´d make a bigger mess than is already in there!"

"But mommmm......... we promise not to make a mess! Come on!"

"Ok ok.... But if I find one crumb in there you are BOTH going to clean every nook and cranny of that room once a week for a month!"

"Ok cool! Come on Trunks!"

"Wait a sec! How did I get sucked into this?!?"

"Hahaha! Lets go im starving! And grab some sodas!"

We ate the whole box, us being sayin-jin thats no big deal, then got ready for bead. As usual Goten and I slept in his bead, slightly larger than a twin bead. I always enjoyed being close to Goten and even though I felt bad that day I still enjoyed it. As we lay there shoulder to shoulder, not an inch between us, I started to feel better. Nothing different was going on than the usual laying there and talking till someone fell asleep. We talked about things like how fun the summer had been, debated over who actually who could hold there breath longer, what we wanted to do tomorrow. For the time were laying there taking it never crossed my mind how I was gong to feel when this ended.

Eventually, after about two hours of talking, we both got tired. Goten fell asleep first. I went to sleep not long after but it felt like an eternity. I was lying there thinking about how glad I was that he invited me to spend the night. Goten rolled into a few positions before he appeared to get comfortable. He had nearly cause me to fall of the bed so ,without thinking, I grabbed for something to keep me from falling. My hand eventually met the headboard and, while shoving Goten over a bit, I pulled myself back onto the bed. Thats when he started repositioning again. After a few more positions he seemed to settle but then he rolled over on his side and put his hand on my naked chest. I must admit I liked it at first until it came to me that I was going to feel like shit because of this tomorrow. It hit me out of no where. After a few seconds I started to feel tears come to my eyes. I hadn´t cried in years. I tried to stop myself but to no avail. The tears slowly ran down my face. I was silent as I cried myself to sleep...........
