THE STORY OF YOU AND ME
A NOTE: Okay, GOTEN does know that Trunks is Trunks. Alright? So, in case you get confused later on in this chapter. It may not seem like he does know, but he does. On with the fic! ^_^
PRESENT III
Trunks balanced little Tora on his knee as she happily ate an ice cream cone from one of the vendors at the park. He, Goten, and Tora had just woke from a nap, and Trunks was certain the dreams he was having were now memories. So far, the only thing he remembered was a boy with raven hair, no names. Trunks sighed and glanced at Goten. The younger man was watching them with a calm air, as if he were commiting the scene to memory. Trunks twirled one of the brown pigtails around his fingers, a serene smile gracing his lips.
Tora, cerulean eyes wide with joy, jumped from Trunks lap and ran to her father. "Daddy! Daddy! Can I go to Grandmom's? Grandpa said he'd take me flying!" Tora squealed when Goten tickled her sides. "Daddy! Stop it!"
He tortured his daughter for a few more minutes before giving into the pout. "Fine, you can go. How long do you want to stay Munchkin?" He ruffled her hair.
Tora tapped her chin with her finger, something Trunks noticed she did when thinking. Her nose wrinkled at Trunks before answering. "The night. Daddy, you can't be alone during that time. Trunksy will stay with you!"
Trunks and Goten gaped at Tora before realizing their mouths were open. Trunks smirked. The girl had ulterior motives. Goten sighed. "Tora...."
"Please Daddy! That way I can see him when I come home tomorrow and we can go to the carnival!"
"Alright Tora. You win again. Would you like to stay the night with me Trunks?"
A flash of pain in the brown eyes had Trunks wondering, again. "Well, since Chibi's such a cute lil girl and that pout is too hard to resist, sure."
"Yay!" Tora giggled, hugging both men excitedly. "Now call Grandmom and tell her to pick me up."
"I can take you."
"No Daddy! You have to stay home and keep Trunksy busy."
* * *
One hour later and several mysterious winks from Tora to a puzzled Trunks, the two men were alone. Trunks shifted on his feet uncomfortably. It was so much easier with Tora as a distraction. Trunks took the time to take in the essence of the house. The scent was so...Goten. It smelled of chocolate and cinnamon, mix of orange lingering. The house wasn't big, but was adequate for a single father raising his child. There were seven rooms; the kitchen that smelt of spices and was littered with an array of junk food, the living room that was cozy and snug decorated with warm, earthen tones, the first bathroom was like Goten, navy hues and white, the second was decorated with clouds and had rubber ducks on the floor, three bedrooms; the first was Goten's and on the second floor and was much like the bathrooms colors, the last bedroom was Tora's and was on the main level with pink bunnies and yellow kangaroos. The remaining room was a play room and furnished all of Tora's toys.
Goten nodded to the couch in the living room. "Uh, you wanna watch a movie or something?"
Trunks, all of a sudden, felt fifteen years younger. He felt a wave of nostalgia whip over himself and he was confused. The question brought many feelings to him and not one could he remember or associate with the dark eyed man beside him. "Fine with me."
Goten blushed. "Well, if we're going to be sitting here for a while, me might as well get comfortable."
Five minutes passed and both men returned, dressed in their pajamas. Both were flushed, but seeing that the other was wearing, laughed. "I thought I was the only one who owned a pair of these!" Trunks chuckled, referring to the miniature Deathscythe gundams. (i'm in the gundam wing mood) That hurt filled Goten's eyes again and Trunks mentally kicked himself. 'Maybe his girlfriend gave them to him and something bad happened to her. Note to self: ask Goten about Tora's mother.' Goten flipped on the television and pressed for the third DVD play. Endless Waltz came on. Trunks shook his head. 'This guy is unbelievable.'
Nearing the end of the movie, Goten spoke up,"I'm going to order a few pizzas, seeing as how we eat like a bunch of cows." Goten called the pizza parlor, all the while his eyes remained fixed on the screen. "They'll be here in thirty minutes." Goten burrowed deeper into the cushiony sofa, clutching a pillow to his chest. Trunks tuned the movie out and focused on Goten. What was it about the other man that made his heart beat rapidly?
"Who do you think would win, Zero Wing or Deathscythe?"
"Deathscythe. Thats easy!" Trunks replied, crossing his arms to further exaggerate the point.
"No way! Zero Wing is the better of the two. Its attack is higher and the pilot is indestructable."
"Heero is a cold hearted bastard! Duo is ten times the man!"
"Oh, and do you identify with Duo?"
"Of course! I'm loud, I eat alot, and I dont care what people think about me!" 'And,' Trunks thought, 'I cover my real feelings from the world with a smile.'
"Yeah, I can see how you two are alike. Just die your hair, grow it really long, and braid it!" Goten lept forward, tackling Trunks to the floor. "But, Heero is still the best."
"Nope. I refuse to believe it. No way, no how, is Heero better than Duo, Goten." Goten sank back to his heels, stray tears brimming his eyes. Trunks was shocked that the other man was close to tears. "G...Goten? Have I done something wrong? I'm sorry for whatever it was."
"No. I was just remembering something from my past."
"Tora's mother?"
Goten choked, tears flowing that he didn't bother keeping at bay. He collapsed to the floor, lying on his back and staring at the cieling while the credits to the movie rolled. "I'm sorry I'm such a mess. Its just.......things have been really tough these last couple of weeks."
"Because of me?"
Goten shook his head, wiping his eyes. "No. You havent done anything. Saturday is the day when me and my soulmate told each other our real feelings." He sniffed. "No Trunks," he seemed to stumble over the name, "You did nothing wrong. It was the past."
"Saturday's two days from now. Will you be okay?"
"Yes. I'll be fine."
"Don't get all Heero on me and bottle yourself up until you explode."
Goten managed a weak smile. "I won't......"
"Goten...what happened to Tora's mom?"
"Died.....a long time ago in a car wreck."
"I'm sorry. Do you get reminded of her when you see Tora?"
"Yes and I have even more here lately." Kami took that time for the doorbell to ring. Goten dried his eyes and opened the door. He handed the boy the money and carried the four boxes inside. He dissappeared into the kitchen and returned with two sodas. "Hope you like Coke."
"My favorite."
"I know," Goten whispered.
"What did you say? I couldnt hear you, the tv's loud."
"Nothing."
"Oh..if your sure?"
"I am."
The two ate their pizza in compionable silence. After the boxes were empty, both went outside to the porch and sat on the swing. The stars were twinkling in the heavens above, the moon full, rays shining on the grass turning it several shades lighter. (romantic!) A breeze blew through the trees, nocturnal birds trilled randomly.
"Goten.......I dont understand something."
"What is it?" Goten asked, leaning against Trunks, eyes closing shut.
Trunks was startled but it felt so right! Like he'd done it before! The sense of warmness and...and something else pervaded all of Trunks rational thoughts. His arm wrapped around Goten's midsection. Goten was starting to breathe heavily from his sleep induced stage. He snuggled closer to Trunks. "Nothing Goten. Just go to sleep."
"Hmm. As long as your here when I wake up. I dont want it to happen again," Goten said, falling asleep. Trunks could only stare at Goten, wondering what Goten meant.
