THE STORY OF YOU AND ME

INTERLUDE I

Trunks stared across the expanse of grass towards the distant outreaches of West City. He sighed, hugging his knees to his chest. The eighteen year old would be crowned President of Capsule Corporation in mere weeks. It was a title he would rather not have. It would limit his freedom and joy but that had been taken away years before. Trunks closed his eyes to relieve some of the painful burning that came from unshed tears. He promised himself he wouldn't cry again after his heart broke all of those years ago. He knew he was acting like a spoilt child, that he should cry but to cry was to show weakness and Trunks did not want to betray any sort of weakness, especially with him taking over the leading role of the world's most powerful company.

Trunks glanced at the sun. It would be six soon, time for another meeting. The young prince took to the skies and flew towards the looming, dome shaped Capsule Corporation. When in flight, he sometimes would forget his anxiety. Touching down, he went inside. He glared at his younger sister who was bouncing on Vegeta's lap. Trunks had only wished that his father would show him the same amount of love when he was Bura's age. A mischevious smirk played on Vegeta's lips and a wink sent his way by Bura caused the demi to arch his eyebrows. Both shrugged and focused on the television. Trunks shook his head. Perhaps his family were lunatics after all.

Trunks descended the stairway to Bulma's laboratory. "Mom! Isn't it time for the meeting? Is it with Brighton Incorporation again?" Getting no response, he peeked into Bulma's office. The blue haired genius was busily typing on her computer. "Mom? Hello?"

Bulma gave a gasp and nearly lept two feet into the air. Scowling at her son, the genius leaned over the desk. "What was that for? Trying to give your mom heart attack?!"

"Sorry. I was only wondering when we were going to the meeting."

"Meeting?" A blank stare accompained by blinking was the only response.

"You know, the one at six?"

"OH!" Bulma slapped her forehead. "THAT meeting. Its not my business, its yours. The guest is waiting in your room."

"My room?" It was confirmed, everyone in the house was crazy. Trunks pondered why an associate would be in his room. His head was starting to ache at all the thinking. Going upstairs, he opened the door to his room to met with the most gorgeous pair of liquid brown eyes. Caught like a deer in headlights, Trunks could only stare with his mouth wide open.

"Trunks," the seventeen year old spoke gently. He smiled warmly at his friend. "Its been too long."

"Go..Goten?" Trunks asked nervously. The other nodded. "Chibi!" Trunks let an excited laugh and flung his arms around his best friend, a friend he hadn't seen for years. Trunks held onto Goten for dear life, that if he let go, the entire planet would drop from underneath him. "Kami Goten, I've missed you."

"I've missed you too Trunks," Goten sniffled as two tears splashed against the taller teen's shoulder.

"Chibi....how..how have you been?"

"Okay. You?"

"Lonely," Trunks whispered resting his head against the smaller boys.

"Me too."

"You came back...why?"

"Dad's visiting Piccolo and he said I could come here. Bulma gave me the okay that I could stay here but if you dont-"

"Of course I want you to. How could you even question that?" Goten blushed and closed his eyes sheepishly. "Your blushing Goten."

"Am not," came the muffled reply.

Trunks chuckled, embracing Goten tighter. A contented murmur came from Goten at the close proximity of their bodies. The heat flowed from one and into the other. Both remained quiet, just savoring the feel of one another. It had been so long since either had felt so serene and warm not to mention loved. It seemed the world stood still for them.

"Trunks," a voice snapped both young men from their reveries. Bulma was standing in the doorway, smile on her lips. "You two should close the door next time. I don't want Bura coming up here and seeing you two do more than just cuddling. We're all going out to eat. I figured you'd rather stay home and catch up on old times. Bye," Bulma winked and shut the door behind her leaving two blushing teenagers who parted from the others arms.

A few minutes of uncomfortable silence passed before Trunks mustered his courage to speak when he spied something shining in the light. "You still wear yours?"

"Yes. It reminded me of you and it was all I had besides pictures. Do you?"

"How could you even ask?" Trunks brought the necklace from underneath his shirt. "It meant too much to me. I haven't taken it off since the day you gave it to me."

Goten sat on the bed, Trunks sitting beside him. "Do you remember...when we kissed?" he asked timidly, fingers fidgeting as he played a solo game of thumb war.

"Hai. I do." Trunks put his hands over Goten's. "I never forgot."

"Me either. Would...would you kiss me again?" Trunks leaned closer, lips brushing against Goten's. Even that feather light caress was enough to send shivers through his spine. He'd had girlfriends before but none were compared to this. Trunks pressed harder, crushing Goten's velvet textured lips to his own. Goten responded shyly and Trunks couldn't help but smile into the kiss. Trunks paused, not wanting to take it too far with Goten yet. "Thanks. I..I needed that to know I wasn't dreaming."

Trunks kissed his cheek. "Not dreaming. Goten, do you still love me?"

"Yes. Do you..?"

"I'll always love you Chibi."

"But how?"

"Didn't that kiss prove how?"

"...Yes, your right." Goten enterlaced his hand with Trunks and leaned against the older demi. Trunks dropped to the bed, Goten pressed against his chest. Goten snuggled closer, head resting in the hollow of Trunks neck. "I love you so much Trunks."

"I love you too Chibi, forever."

"Forever...." Goten repeated as he gave way to sleep.
