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?

Trunks leaned over the prone figure on the hospital bed, the pale amber moonlight casting an angelic halo on the sallow face. He took hold of a limp, bandaged hand and rested against his chest as tears rolled down his cheeks. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't understand why Goten would try and commit suicide. Trunks sighed. "I havent known you for very long but I...do know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to hear your voice so much right now. I was too scared to admit how I feel. I..I ddnt want to lose you I agreed to marry Merian. I was such a fool. Your the only one for me." A lump formed in his throat. "I love you Goten," he laid his head against his chest as if the emotional pain was too much to bear. Fingers twitched in his hand and Trunks immediately raised his head to stare into liquid pools of chocolate. "Goten!" he cried, tears dropping against the other boy's cheek. "I....I oh Kami Goten. Why did you do that?!"

Goten cleared his throat, eyes sliding shut again. "I hate you. Leave me alone," he rasped hoarsely.

"What?"

"Go back to your wife." Goten's lower lip trembled as he spoke the last word. "I want you out of here Trunks." He reached for the button beside his bed and Nyobe entered, wide eyed. Pan followed nimbly, casting a confused glare at Trunks. The violet haired man, head bowed, hastily exited the room but not before glancing at Goten one last time. Then......he was gone.

Pan stared at the crystalline drops flooding from her uncle's eyes like twin dams. "Uncle, what happened with Trunks? Why did you do this?" She asked, gesturing towards his slitted wrists. He opened his mouth then shut it in indecision. "Nyobe would you please step outside for a few minutes. I wish to speak with my uncle in private." Nyobe nodded, shutting the door behind her. Pan sank onto the bed. "Oh Goten...Trunks loves you very much." Goten clenched his jaw muscles tightly. "Dont you know that? I recognized it when I first saw the way you acted when his name was mentioned and I've seen it with him. When he brought you in, he was devasted. He could barely contain his anger at how slow the doctors were going and then....when they said we could visit, he was so hopeful. The way he looks at you, the way he seems to brighten when your around. Goten....you can't give up on him."

"Done lecturing me?"

Pan sighed in annoyance, glaring reproachfully at her uncle. "You can be such an ass sometimes!" Pan growled, switching the television screen on to what she had been watching only a few minutes before. A woman was reporting. "Merian left Trunks for her own country. It would seem that there was another in her life. Just as there was another in his life. He called the wedding off Goten. He did it for you because he loves you."

Goten refused to meet his niece's probing eyes. "I dont care..."

"Dont give me that bull! If you want to be blinded by your pride, then your just as hard headed as Grandpa! I hate this so much Goten. If only you and Trunks would get together again and announce your love than Grandpa wouldn't have a choice but to make peace with Vegeta. Dont you see?! You could have changed our lives. This stupid feud could end. Are you willing to end our one chance at reconciliation?" Pan went to the door, hand on the knob. "I think you should know something. There's security cameras in every room." She tossed him a remote to a small television resting on a cabinent. "Watch it."

Goten clicked the television on and saw himself. Pressing stop and the rewind he caught site of Trunks, leaning over his bed. Of Trunks crying. Of Trunks kissing him. Then, to ten minutes before, Trunks began to talk. Goten's jaw dropped at the words and he found himself crying again. Especially with....the last three words before Goten woke up. ~I love you.~ Goten sobbed himself to sleep.

Pan ran after Trunks, sensing the man's ki. She found him outside of the hospital, sitting on the steps and weeping to himself. She slung her arm over his shoulders, holding him close. "Ssh, Trunks. Please dont cry about that idiot uncle of mine. He's a stubborn ass." She sighed, wiping the tears from the older demi's face. "Go back in there. Dont let this end just because Goten's being a prat. He needs you and you need him."

"I dont need him Pan. I love him."

"Then prove that by staying here."

"He doesnt want me to be here. I wont cause him strife by staying."

"Your as bad as him. Fine, you go on back and live your lonely existence. I give you a week before you start missing Goten." Pan started to leave when Trunks hand on her shoulder stopped her. "What is it?"

"I.....okay. I'll stay but please...help me get him back."

"Your asking for help from a Son?" She raised a brow.

"Uh.."

"I'm joking! Come on! I want you to be the first thing he sees in the morning. Trunks, you'll see that your two were meant to be. I just know it."

"I'm glad your so enthusiastic."

"Someone has to be.."
