Chapter Three
Gohan's advice.
DISCLAIMER: Nope not mine
AUTHOR NOTE: Man I cannot believe what a writing streak I am on. Not only have I written the first three chapters of this but I know what I am doing for the next chapter and I have loads of ideas for other fics, like one parters
In case you haven't noticed I've been watching Dragonball GT on cartoon network recently and it has reopened my love of everything Dragonball, so it good for you guys but not good for people waiting for other fics on different programs. Oh well you can't help what you like right.
Anyway please enjoy
QUESTION TO THE READER: two thing firstly what is Goten's girlfriend name, I thought it was Paris but am I spelling it wrong, if someone could give me the Japanese version I'd be grateful and secondly I thought Bulma and Vegeta's daughter was called Bra but in the series they refer to her as Bura (Well in Dragonball GT) which is it?
Goten bit his lip as he threw his mobile onto the cushion on the floor. He really just wanted to slam it against the nearest wall or crush it in his hand but if there was one thing that his mother taught him it was the important of conserving as much money as they could. The family didn't have enough money for Goten to go and destroy something as expensive as a phone in a fit of temper.
He looked down at the stock of food, he had wasted a great deal of his wage packet on buying all the food since there was normally no junk food in the house and even though he knew Trunks would give him the money, it was still a waste. He collapsed onto the other cushion on the floor and glared out the window at the darkening sky. He knew that it wasn't easy for Trunks living the life he did and trying to keep everyone happy but he knew that this had been their night ever since they were 13 and had gotten into American football in real earnest. Tonight was the superbowl and he left him to take his girlfriend to a damn musical. As far as Goten knew there was little more in the world that Trunks hated then musicals or plays, he found it boring watching people trekking round the stage trying their best to outdo each other to be recognised. Still it seemed that going to something he hated was more important then spending time with his best friend.
Goten shook his head and spoke quietly to himself
"Screw you Trunks," he muttered, "I'm not a toy you can pick up and play with when you get bored of being at home or with Marron. I may not be here next time you go to do that" his shoulders slumped. He could almost hate the girl, she had done what people had tried to do for ages, she had caused a huge gap between Trunks and himself and Goten wasn't sure whether either of them could get across.
"Hey Bro what's wrong?" Goten blinked coming out of his thoughts and looked up to see Gohan standing by the door smiling at him
"Hey Gohan" he replied, at least his brother was here
"You seemed troubled anything I can do?" he moved into the room and leaned down moving the phone onto the sofa then plonked himself down
"There's nothing you can do Gohan" Goten replied "It's just me being weird that's all, you know I get these fits of depression sometimes for no reason, it's just one of those days that's all" Gohan nodded
"That's true but something normally causes it Goten so what is it?" Goten shrugged
"Really Gohan it's nothing" Gohan gave him a hard look but Goten studied the TV as he waited for something.
"When is Trunks getting here to watch the football?" Gohan asked, he glanced round the food and laughed "You certainly have a lot of food are you sure that it will be enough, I mean it will only feed two large towns you must be slacking" a brief smile came to Goten's lips at the comment but it dispersed quickly
"Trunks isn't coming tonight" Gohan's eyes widened
"You're kidding right?" Goten shook his head
"No I'm not, it seems spending time with his girlfriend is more important than our traditions" Gohan bit his lip. It was clear to anyone that Goten wasn't happy and Gohan couldn't blame him, it did seem as if Trunks had dropped Goten as soon as Krillen's daughter came into the picture but what was he meant to do. Gohan didn't know the full story but he knew he had to say something. He hated seeing his brother upset.
"Well if you want I'll sit and watch it with you" he said "I've nothing planned tonight and we haven't spent much time together recently so do you want to? I know I'm not Trunks but I think I got the rules down so…" he trailed off leaving his suggestion in the air. Goten turned to him, his black eyes searching his brother's face then he smiled at him,
"Gohan I'd be honoured if you watch it with me" he leaned over and grabbed something off the food table. He leaned back and gave his usual toothy cheeky grin as he threw something at him
"Enjoy your Pringles, you'll love them" Gohan looked sceptically at the tube and opened it placing on of the crisps in his mouth gingerly. A second later he smiled and began stuffing his face with them
"These are gorgeous," he said regardless of the fact that crisps went spurting everywhere at his comment, Goten laughed
"I'm glad you like it but Mum will have something to say to you if you carry on spurting crisps onto her carpet" Gohan slapped his hand over his mouth
"You're right she'll kill me, thanks for the warning Bro" Goten nodded and pointing at the screen
"It's about to start Bro watch it carefully ok?" Gohan nodded, from the start Goten was screaming at the screen and cheering away while Gohan was keeping himself reserved that soon melted at a great tackle, after that he was yelling as long as his brother.
"Gohan what are you doing?" a female voice asked, both turned round with identical expressions of shock, they had both forgotten that there were other people in the house
"Videl" he replied. Videl was leaning against the doorframe smiling at her husband he went slightly red
"Keep it down slightly ok? Don't forget Pan is in bed. Don't wake me when you come up in the morning Gohan I have a meeting at 8 so I have to be up early" Gohan nodded his head
"I won't" he replied, "Want me to wake you up?" he asked and she nodded her head
"Yes please, you know me I love my bed too much now" he nodded
"Will do"
"Night Goten sleep well" she commented to Goten who's attention had gone back to the screen once he realised who it was
"Night Videl Sweet dreams" he commented his eyes never leaving the screen. He grabbed Gohan's arm "Look at this sweet tackle dude"
"Where?" Gohan's attention swung round instantly and he cheered as he watched the replay "Have it you bastard" he cried out, Goten shook his head
"Gohan you're cheering for the wrong team"
"Which one are you cheering for?" he question, Goten pointed at the screen
"The opposite one to you" Gohan laughed
"Then trust me little Bro I've picked the right team to cheer on" Videl smiled as she shut the door but not before she saw Goten leap for Gohan in a tackle that brought her husband down with a laugh, it was so rare for the brothers to have anytime alone that it was good to see them together. She walked to the stairs then stopped turning her head back with a frown. She spoke quietly to herself
"But where's Trunks?" shaking her head she retired to bed the sound of cheering echoing after her. 3 hours later Gohan was laughing
"See Goten I told you that I had picked the right team. We won didn't we" Goten folding his arms
"Yeah well it was a fluke you won so I wouldn't get used to it if I was you"? He commented. Gohan stood up and stretched
"I'm off to bed I've work tomorrow" Goten nodded
"Me to" they left the room tidy and retired upstairs, where Gohan suddenly stopped and spoke in a quiet tone
"Goten about Trunks" Goten's face dropped but he nodded
"What about him"
"Don't worry about it, he's not like you, he's never been in a serious relationship before and so he's still learning about what he can and cannot do, just be patient you know that he'll make it up to you" Goten shrugged
"It still sucks that I'm the one left behind" Gohan shrugged
"That's partly because you allow yourself to be. Tomorrow go in at 11 and kidnap Trunks as you call it, beat Marron before she can get there. He misses you that's clear." Goten nodded his face brightening again
"You're right Gohan" he said "I'll do what you say and beat Marron at her own game" with a final grin he turned and walked into his room closing the door behind him leaving Gohan shaking his head
"That wasn't what I meant" he muttered as he turned and made his way to his own bedroom. He had done what was needed now it was up to Goten whether he took the advice or not.
There you go hope you enjoy it, I'm not sure how long this fic will go but I'm enjoying writing it. Please review and someone please answer my question it would be a huge help if you could. Thanks, just remember no flames.b
