Chapter Three- An Angel's New Light
Gohan's eyes snapped open as he felt the familiar chi surge into existence next to him.
"No..." he whispered, realizing that it could mean only one thing. "No!"
Then he saw the still figure laying next to him, changed by time. But still beautiful.
Then he sat up.
"Gohan..." Trunks whispered, staring longingly at Gohan.
"Trunks.... Oh Kami... oh no... Why? What happened to you?"
Trunks suddenly looked around, and realized what had happened.
"Cell killed me." he whispered, disbelievingly. "God Gohan! I'm DEAD!!"
Gohan couldn't help it. A smile slipped through his lips.
"Oh love... your poor thing."
Trunks stared at Gohan for a moment, really seeing him for the first.
"Gohan... you're....you're so beautiful as an angel."
Gohan blushed, having forgotten that he had let his long wings slip out from under their covering, while he had been resting.
Trunks walked over to Gohan, and hugged him and started to cry. Gohan put his arms around the sobbing man.
"G-Gohan... Promise me that you'll never leave me again." Trunks cried into Gohan's shirt.
Gohan lifted Trunks's chin and kissed him gently on the lips.
"I promise I'll never leave you again. But you must leave me soon."
Trunks started into Gohan's dark eyes.
"No Gohan! I don't want to go back! I want to stay here with you! That's all I've ever wanted dammit! You!" the upset demi-Saiyan was yelling.
"Trunks... we can't be together anymore. Our souls were never meant to be one. To be together." Gohan said gently, feeling his own heart break.
Gohan knew what Trunks's future was supposed to be. But it still hurt him. It burned him like hell, but he knew what was really supposed to occur.
Trunks pushed Gohan away from in disgust.
"How?! How can you say those words!? Tell me! I love you! And don't tell me that you don't love me Gohan! How can you leave me alone like this?" Trunks felt tears rising in his eyes again.
He couldn't stand this pain anymore. To want for Gohan for so long, and then to finally have him, only to be rejected.
"I didn't leave you." Gohan whispered, walking towards Trunks again, and putting his feathery white wings around Trunks. "You left me. You found your true soul mate Trunks."
Trunks blinked back tears, and stared up into the innocent face of his sensei.
"Who?" Trunks's voice came out hoarse.
"You know who. You love him. Don't deny it. He just doesn't know that he loves you yet. But he will Trunks. He will. It might take a long time, but he will love you, equally if not more then you love him right now." Gohan answered, hugging Trunks gently.
"But what about you?" Trunks questioned, letting himself be hugged.
"Trunks, I'm your guardian angel. I'll always be here for you. When you need me, I will be there. For you, and your mate." Gohan whispered, kissing Trunks as he did so.
"Gohan..."
"Be silent, love. For when you return, you will be with another. I won't deny that I wish more then anything that we could be together.... but I will not interfere with your fate."
Gohan kissed Trunks one final time
Trunks was silent as he let the time pass, and then he felt the pull of his physical body.
"Good-bye... You may just get your happy ending chick flick yet."
He only half heard the farewell, as he awoke in his real body, a tear sliding down his cheek.
"Be with me my guardian angel..." he whispered, knowing that no one else would be able to hear him, but his angel.
****************
Chibi Gohan didn't understand the pain. His heart had hurt so bad when Trunks had died. It had felt like part of himself had died. Been destroyed. He was so confused.
He had been utterly confused ever since that night he had awoken to Trunks's tears, and comforted him until they both slept. Ever since then, he has always been unusually pleased to see the teenager smiling, and grinning at him. Gohan hadn't understand the feelings or thoughts that he know had towards the purple-haired Prince.
All Gohan knew was that he had wanted to die too when Trunks had died. Part of his heart had shriveled up and died, and part of his sanity had left him.
But, oh, he had felt so great when Trunks came back. Part of his heart had been reawakened. He wanted to smile, and shout, and grab the other demi-Saiyan. But he had known better. Yet, he could tell something was wrong with his Prince. For there was no thought that was unclear to him that Trunks was his Prince. Trunks had looked at him differently. In a different light, as though more of an equal. Gohan gave him a small smile, and Trunks had given him a small nod.
*************
Gohan ignored the tears that were gathering at the edge of his vision, as Trunks prepared to leave.
"Trunks... Do you have to go?" Gohan whimpered.
"Gohan.... I have to go save my time period now. My mom is still there, alone. I promise I'll come back one day, okay?" Trunks answered the savior of Earth.
"Why can't I come with you if you're coming back here?" Gohan questioned.
Trunks tried to hide the smirk that almost crossed his features. His Guardian Angel had been right, his beloved was starting to come to terms with his feelings.
Trunks gave Gohan a tiny hug.
"Because I don't when I'm coming back. Or when I can."
Trunks wanted to make sure that he was born in this time period. He didn't really want to screw things up here, but he couldn't leave his love alone, could he? Then again, he could die in the battle with the androids, but that was unlikely. His Angel would have warned him of that.
Gohan hugged Trunks back, blinking back tears.
Trunks was reminded strongly of the scene in heaven with Mirai Gohan.
"Trunks..." Gohan started to protest again.
Trunks put a finger to soft lips, he was dying to touch, but had still been confined from.
"Gohan, did you know you have a guardian angel?" Trunks whispered.
"My dad, right?" Gohan asked, as tears did start to pour down velvet cheeks.
"Maybe. But I've met another angel that's promised to protect you and me. As long as I'm gone, he'll be with you, okay? I will do everything in my power to make it back to you. The only thing that will stop me is if there is no more breath in my body, understand?"
Gohan gave a tiny nod, and then suddenly he leaned forward and kissed Trunks. Trunks was thoroughly taken aback. He has always thought he'd be the one to give Gohan the kiss. The kiss was much more sloppy and inexperienced then anything Trunks had ever had before. And he loved it.
Trunks stroked Gohan's hair gently for a moment, and then he got up.
"I'll be back. I promise."
Gohan nodded, as he started to cry again.
After Trunks left the room, Gohan whispered six more words.
"Please do, I love you Trunks."
And then he heard the sound of feathers.
