Goten: Its not real
AK: WHAT?!
Goten: *grabs paper and tears it up* Thank Kami she doesn't own it.
Ak: Your just scared that I'd have yummy, lemony scenes with you and Trunks. @_@
ENEMIES OR LOVERS?
Goten collasped in a fit of hysterical convulsions as the sobs racked his body unmericifully. His head was buried in his mattress, hands grabbing the sheets beneath him. 'He's my enemy! He is Trunks Briefs. He is the one that I'm supposed to hate enough to kill, not love enough to kill myself from being away from him! This isn't fair! Why?! WHY?! The only love I've ever known, sprung from my only hate. Had I seen it earlier, then maybe I wouldn't have fallen so deep. Trunks!' Goten wailed. 'He told me he loved me and I told him I loved him. I do! He loves me too! I can see it in his eyes and sense it in his ki. What do I do? Should I go behind my parent's backs and be with him? Will he even want me after learning that I'm a Son?'
Goten wasn't aware of his bedroom door opening nor did he feel the light weight settle on the bed beside him. A hand reached out and brushed aside the raven locks that cascaded over his face. He leaned into the touch and stifled his sobbing. "Uncle Goten...are you going to be okay?"
"I'll be fine Pan. Don't you worry about me! I run, I hide, but I never lie!" Goten tried his hardest to keep his voice from breaking as he stared at his small niece. Pan just cocked her head to the side and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "You don't believe me, do you?"
"Nope. Uncle Goten, why are you hurt? Did someone break your heart?"
"You could say that." Goten sat up and rested his back against the headboard. He shut his mouth, not willing to continue. He didn't want to spill his secret to Pan, as much as he knew she'd keep it safe. He wanted to tell her. To have someone else to talk to about it.
Pan took Goten's hand in hers. "Please uncle..please tell me whats bothering you. I hate to see you sad!"
"Pan...."
"I may be young but I'm not stupid. I can help, even its just by lending a shoulder to cry on."
Goten stared into the brown eyes so much like his own. Goten sighed. "Alright Pan. I'll tell you but please, you need to keep an open mind during this and you...you can't hate me."
"I could never hate you Uncle Goten."
"Thanks Pan. It..it happened only a little while ago at the party. I met...him." Goten paused, thinking Pan might interrupt. She didn't. "He was so beautiful and I felt alive when I was with him. I have never been happy Pan, you know that already though."
Pan nodded and squeezed his hand. "I know Uncle. I could see through those fake smiles. I have noticed that you have been happier since then."
"Hai, because of him. We didn't meet again until today. That sounds pathetic, ne? I had only seen him once before and yet I knew I was in love. Yes, I love him," Goten said, noting the gaped expression on his ebony haired niece's face. "He loves me too."
"Then what the hell is the problem?!"
"His name is....is...Trunks Briefs."
Pan's eyes widened. "WHAT?!"
"I didn't know it then, until Nyobe told me. Do you see why I'm so upset Pan? I love him and he is my enemy. You hate me now..don't you?"
Pan laughed. "I could never hate you Uncle! I love you. Does he make you happy?"
"Hai."
"Then go to him!"
"I can't Pan! Don't you understand that?! As the heir to the Son throne, to be gay is like...like the worst curse that can be named! Dad would flip his lid if he knew about that. He's expecting me to mate with a female so that the Son lineage can continue. And, if he knew that I was in love with his rival's son, he'd kill me!"
"Damn you Goten!" Pan snapped, causing her uncle's eyes to widen. "How can you be so cruel?! Don't you think that Trunks is hurting too? Who gives a damn what Grandpa thinks. Your stronger than him Uncle, you can win against him."
Goten blushed. "I..I am stronger than him but...I don't want to upset Dad more than I already have. He's dissappointed in me as it is. I don't deserve love and happiness."
Pan slapped Goten hard against his cheek. "Don't you dare!! How can you say that Goten?!" Pan sighed, watching the twin trails of tears slide down his cheeks. "I'm sorry Goten. Listen, I'm going to go home. I want you think long and hard about what you feel for Trunks. If you love him as much as you claim, then you will not care what Grandpa will do." Pan kissed Goten's red cheek. "Do what feels right. Bye Uncle."
Goten stared after his niece in silence. He knew the girl was right. He had some serious soul seraching to do.

Trunks composed himself as his mother buzzed him to her office. Tears were gone, leaving behind a frigid coldness that Trunks himself was scared of. Since he'd learned of Goten's identity, he had cried. Never before in his life did he think he would. Trunks entered Bulma's office, stoic. "You called?"
"Oh Trunks!" Bulma lept from her chair and smiled brightly. Trunks cringed at the dovey smile on her face. "We finally found you a worthy wife! Your father even approves of her."
"What?"
"You gave us permission that we could find you your mate and we have."
Trunks swallowed the lump in his throat. 'Wife? I dont want a wife. I want Goten. He'll...he'll never come back to me. Now that he knows I'm a Briefs. What do I do?' Trunks narrowed his eyes slightly. "Who is it?"
"Merian Chang. She's the daughter of a Chinese politician. She's very pretty and she has a wonderful attitude, not to mention all the social stature that she and her family have in China." 'Oh Kami....Goten. I dont want that stupid girl. Damnit. If only..if only I had told you that night. The night when I fell in love with you.' Trunks raised a delicate eyebrow. "You two will be married in a week."
"A WEEK?!" Trunks stoic manners dissolved.
"Sorry sweetie, but sooner the better and I think-Trunks?" Bulma glanced up from her reading to notice her son was gone. Then she heard a door slam followed by sounds of things breaking. She grimaced. "Maybe I should have waited...."
Trunks banged his head against his wall. "NO!" he yelled, tears threatning to fall. "No," he whispered. 'This can't be happening! I dont want her. Please, please come to me Goten. I dont think I can live without you...' "Goten," Trunks breathed, falling asleep, to exhausted from his tears to continue.
