Chapter 2: New Love and Deception



Mall ~3:40~

Seventeen had now been following the lavender haired teen for an hour. All he had witnessed was the embarrassing (to say the least) scenes of an annoyed blue haired woman's attempts to get her son away from the video game store.

"Trunks! Honestly! I thought you promised to help me with my shopping first before going off for your personal time!" Bulma roared. It's not like Trunks was paying attention to any of his mother's ramblings. He was now aware of Seventeen's entrance of the department store where he and his mother were looking at linen.

'Couldn't stay away?' he smiled as he eyed the ebony haired hottie (lol, hottie like is so valley.NO!!! They're taking over!)

"Well it's not like you're even helping me Trunks. *sigh* Meet me back in front at 5:00 sharp?" Bulma offered.

"Uhm.sure mom. Thanks!" And with that Trunks had headed toward the video game store to try and top his own score in Motocross 380 3000 (made up.I think.)

'On the move again my light chocolate crème?' Seventeen looked at the direction he was headed and looked back at the one he assumed to be his mother. 'Going alone I see. Perfect.'

Seventeen followed. Now was his chance. He had to try and create a conversation with Trunks and slowly work it all down to the new him and then maybe even.set a date.

Trunks was well aware that Seventeen would follow him. So he scooted over from the game he was playing so that two player mode could be accessible. Soon enough, smooth skinned hands had grasped the other control.

"Room for one more?" Seventeen asked with a friendly smile.

"Sure." Trunks said without taking his eyes off of the screen.

After five rounds of nothing but endless crashing and defeats, Seventeen had had enough and decided to quit playing around his plan.

The screen read GAME OVER... 'Thank Kami. I thought it would never end.' Seventeen stuck out his hand into shaking position.

"Good game." He smiled open mouthed so that his pearly whites could be seen.

"Good game." Trunks shook his hand and smiled back.He turned away for a moment and then turned back. "Why have you been following me?"

Seventeen, a little taken back by the question, "How could I not have followed you? You are the most attractive guy I've seen since my return."

Trunks was surprised at his openness and looked the man in front of him in the eyes while saying, "You're not too bad yourself."

Both men started to blush and laughed at their new discoveries. Suddenly Seventeen launched forward and pulled Trunks by the collar locking him into a kiss.

Trunks was now kissing the other man back and slipping his tongue into Seventeen's to explore the moist cavern. Seventeen moaned with pleasure as his tongue entangled with Trunks's and as he felt Trunk's hand slide down his back to grab a hold of his tight ass. (Somehow that doesn't seem right but w/e)

This all would have continued into something further if a certain little boy was not present. But unfortunately he was and started screaming. "MOMMY! WHAT IS THAT MAN DOING TO THAT OTHER MAN?!? IS HE 'SPOSE TO DO THAT? " The two love birds stopped as they noticed they were causing a crowd in the store. They smiled at each other and walked out into a small café.

"So.what was that for?" smirked Trunks.

"It was for being too close to my face." Seventeen replied.

"Like this?" Trunks was practically sharing the same breath with Seventeen as their noses touched. Seventeen pecked him on the lips as he went back to his normal sitting position.

They must have talked for hours when Trunks suddenly looked outside to see the sun going down.

"Oh my Kami! It's way past five! I have to go." Trunks jumped up.

"Well.If you have to go." Trunks could hear the hurt in Seventeen's voice. He smiled and cupped Seventeen's face in his hands.

"I'll see you again soon. I promise." And with that he gave Seventeen a full blown kiss.

As he left Seventeen couldn't help but to just wonder if Trunks was telling the truth. If he would indeed see him again.soon.

Back at Seventeen's

Seventeen sighed as he opened the door to his empty house. To anyone else who had stepped in it, it was far from empty. But Seventeen was not thinking of anything such as a wide screen TV, marble covered floors or a king size bed (although one of the things on his mind was long, hard and big (*wink wink nudge nudge*) He was thinking about his love, Trunks.

'How have I lived without him so long?" Seventeen turned on the faucet and began to relax under the steamy bath water.

Without even thinking about it he suddenly remembered (not thinking but he remembered. *nods) the number self scribbled on his hand by Trunks.

"Trunks- 173-4549" (please DO NOT dial this number! I don't know whose it is)

He grabbed a pen that was on the counter top behind him and wrote it onto a small piece of paper.

He stared up at the ceiling and closed his eyes as he said, "Trunks you're mine and I'll love you forever."

Somewhere outside

Trunks heard his cell phone ring; he answered his Motorola (with the coolio Austin Powers theme.)

Without thinking, "You just got my number and now you're already calling? I must have left you just half an hour ago, Babe." He smiled to himself but noticed that there was no speaking coming from the other end of the line."Hello?"

"TRUNKS! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?" Goten yelled as he hung up the phone.

"Uh." Trunks was now feeling pretty stupid. He had forgotten all about Goten (meanie.) He flew home deep in thought about how he would work this out.

Son house

Gohan heard a phone slam hard against the receiver as Goten ran upstairs.

"I wonder what HIS problem is?!?" Gohan pondered aloud.

"I don't know honey but maybe you should check up on him." Suggested ChiChi. Gohan nodded as he headed up the stairs.

"And by 'checking up on him' I mean to report back to me in detail!"

"Sure mom." He proceeded up the stairs to Goten's room when he heard muffled crying coming from Goten's room.

He walked over to the door and quietly closed it once he was inside. 'This is worse than I thought.'

"Hey buddy.What's wrong?" He offered.

"I don't want to talk about it." Goten replied as he tried to wipe away the tears coming from his eyes. He stared out the window and mumbled something that Gohan didn't understand. Even with his trained saiyan ears.

"Girl trouble?" He said as he patted Goten on the back. There was no response from Goten. "I see."

Goten looked up so that his eyes met his older brother's. "What makes you think it's a girl?"

"Uhm.you mean it's NOT a girl?!?" Goten smiled at the surprised look on his brother's face.

Gohan was slow but not slow enough not to catch on to his brother's meaning of "what makes you think it's a girl?"

"Who's the lucky guy?" Gohan tried to move the conversation along without feeling uncomfortable.

Goten sighed and opened his mouth.but no words came out except, "I can't tell you."

"What?!? I'm your big brother and you can't tell me this?!?" Gohan pouted at the thought that his younger brother couldn't tell him who this mystery man was.

"Fine, but you have to promise you won't say ANYTHING to ANYONE!"

"Okay, okay! Now just tell me!" Gohan yelled.

"Trunks." the words escaped Goten's lips with hesitation but they came out as clear as a bell in Gohan's ears.

"Goten.Please tell me you're joking." Gohan looked at his brother in disbelief.

"I'm not lying. Look, you wanted the truth and there it is. If you don't like it then that's your opinion and I'll respect that if you respect mine."

"Well, Goten.You can't expect me not to be surprised at your.err.news." Gohan looked at the now embarrassed Goten. He smiled and placed a hand on his little brother's shoulder. "But you are my brother and if you want.Trunks .then go ahead. Just don't go sleeping with him though!" Gohan laughed.

Goten nodded as Gohan kissed him (like a brother would) on the forehead. "I love you Goten, you're my brother. If this is what you want then go for it." With that Goten nodded as his brother left the room.

'I wonder how Trunks's going to try and get himself out of this one' thought Goten.

(Back down stairs)

"SO?!?" shrieked a familiar voice in Gohan's ear.

"Well...He...uhm." Gohan straightened up and said "He was attacked by circus folk. But he'll be fine"

With that he walked out of the house to leave his mother very puzzled. "Oh well. *sigh* At least things can't get any weirder."

(Of course she is very wrong about that but we'll let that go for the time being. Kay? ^_=-)

Capsule Corps ~6:30PM~

Just as he was about to get turn off the light switch, the doorbell rang.

"Vegeta! Would you get that?" Bulma called from the kitchen.

He approached the door and opened it. It was Trunks. Vegeta grunted as he let his son through the door.

"Hey dad. Did m-"before he could finish he was interrupted.

"And if that's Trunks then tell him he's got a lot of explaining to do!"

'*sigh* Here we go'.

"Listen mom, I'm sorr-"

"There are no excuses for what you did to me in the mall today, young man! First you didn't even help me with my shopping and then when I give you a break, you just desert me! I must have waited outside for half an hour! I have a life too Trunks! And believe me, you should be glad you'll never have to be a mom!" Bulma proclaimed.

"*Sigh* I'm really sorry mom. I should have kept track of time. And you'll be glad to hear I wasn't interacting with video games.just this person." He trailed off as his mother's expression changed from angry to excited.

"OOO! Who's the lucky girl?!? A new girlfriend perhaps?"

'What am I suppose to say in times like these?!?'

"Well, mom.uhm...no." Bulma was now obviously saddened.

"Then who were you talking to?"

"Well.this guy." Trunks felt his cheeks blush at the thought of Seventeen.

Both Bulma and Vegeta, who was leaning on the door's entrance caught this blush and automatically figured out what their son was implying.

"Oh." Bulma whispered."OH! Well that's great Trunks." Bulma beamed. "So when can we meet him, honey?"

Trunks was surprised at his mother's reaction to this and took awhile to recover.

"How about.Friday?"

"Friday sounds great! How about it Vegeta?" Bulma was now smiling and nodding towards her husband.

"Woman, did you just not get the message? Your son is GAY! How are you alright with this?" Vegeta demanded.

"First of all Vegeta, Trunks is OUR son and second of all, if he wants to have a relationship with another man then that is his choice!" Bulma aimed an evil glare Vegeta's way.

Vegeta turned around mumbling to himself and went upstairs angrily.

Bulma now focused her attention back to Trunks, "Honey I really am happy for you." She hugged Trunks and let him go for a response.

"I know mom, thanks."

"Anytime." Bulma looked around the kitchen. "Well *sigh* it looks like I have to get back to my cleaning. We'll talk tomorrow."

Trunks went upstairs to get ready for bed. He was torn, he loved Goten but he loved Seventeen more. He was drawn to Seventeen more then anyone before. But how could he break his best friend's heart?

'I'm going to have to tell Goten the truth tomorrow.and I'll have to get in touch with Seventeen to and ask him if it's okay with him meeting my parents and all.Though this is kind of sudden. *sigh*'

He turned out the lights and whispered, "I love you Seventeen."

Did you like that chapter? Well Paul said it was pretty cool. (Paul is the guy in my head. He fancies the color yellow and rubber duckies. His boyfriend's name is Ryan and he is known for walking nude around his city loft apartment.) Well REVIEWS PLEASE! I'll have the third one up soon! Cya! ~Fuzzy~
