NEW FEELINGS

A Little Talk




As I woke up next morning, I remembered what I was thinking about yesterday.
Right, I have to talk to Trunks...
I decided not to waste any time, and went to the bathroom to get ready.


It didn't take too long, and without even bothering to eat breakfast I picked up the phone to call my best friend.
But as I was about to dial his number, I thought of yet another problem.
What i'm right, and Trunks confesses?
What do I tell him?
How am I supposed to react?


Argh, too much thinking, at this rate i'll never be able to talk to him about it.
I dialed his number.


"Hello?"


"Hey Trunks! What's up?" I ask my friend cheerfully.


"Oh, hey Goten! Nothing much, you?" He tries to sound cheerful too, but I don't miss the nervous note in his voice.


"Listen, um. I have to talk to you about something. Can we meet?" I ask.


"Ah, sure. When?"


"Now."


"Okay... Where?" He starts to get suspicious.


"How about by the lake, where we usually spar."


"Ok, see ya there."


"Bye." I hang up the phone, and jump out the window to get to our meeting place.


I'll be there much earlier, but I still have to think of what I would tell him if he gives in.
Man, this is so complicated.
Why am I doing this again?
It's still not too late... I can still tell him something else!
...
No! What am I thinking?
I've made up my mind, i'm going to make him tell me the truth, and that's final.


I reach our meeting spot and land.
I decide that thinking would make me even more nervous, so I just lie down and try to relax a bit.
I'm calm, i'm calm, my mind is at peace, my soul is at peace.
I'm so nervous!
Breath... Breath... Everything will be fine... Everything will be ok...
Too much thinking...
How do I empty my soul again?
Huh?


I open my eyes as I sense Trunks' ki getting closer.
I stand up, and in a few seconds he lands in front of me.


"What's up Goten? What did you want to talk about?" He sounds pretty light, not too nervous, I guess he has no idea about what's coming at him.


"Well um... I... Err... I wanted to..." Argh! What's wrong with me? If i'm going to do this I have to sound more confident. If I act this nervous he definately won't tell me!


"Trunks. I want you to tell me what's wrong." I finally say.


"What?" He was definately taken aback. He did not expect this.


"I want you to tell me what's wrong Trunks. You've been acting very differently for like 3 weeks now. Something's definately bothering you, and I want you to tell me what it is!" I say in a strong and confident voice. "I AM your best friend Trunks! Amn't I? I think I deserve to know. I can't take it any longer! I just want to help!" I continue in a more concerned tone.


Trunks doesn't say anything, but walks over closer to the lake, looking into the distance.
Then he sighs and lowers his head.
Man, I can't stand to see him this sad!
I walk over to his side, putting my hand on his shoulder, and then wondering if it was the right thing to do.
I could feel his muscles tighten under my touch, but only for a second.


"Trunks..." I just say. What should I do now?


"Do you really want to know?" He sadly asks after a few seconds.


I breath out, realizing that i've been holding my breath up till now. "Of course I do."


That makes him look even more depressed.


"I'd tell you Goten, I really would. You have no idea how hard it is to keep it inside. I'm just afraid that this might ruin our friendship."


"Whatever it is, it won't Trunks, I promise." I reply.


He sighs again. "Even if you won't mind and will want to stay friends, I won't be able to. If I tell you, I doubt that I'll ever be able to look you in the face anymore. I can't Goten, i'm sorry, it's best this way." He sadly replies and flies off.


"Trunks!" I just scream after him, but he doesn't even turn around.






*sigh* Well, I guess this didn't work out as well as Goten hoped it would...
But oh well! It's not the end of the story just yet ;)!
