Disclaimer: I don't own anything but this story.. and Brandon
When I managed to pounce on him we fell to the ground, laughing. He got up and pulled me to my feet. After one conversation over the phone with Brandon, I felt close to him. "Come on, let's go to the music store!" He said enthusiastically. "You're not going to get me anything there are you?" I asked stepping in his way. "I don't know." He said and walked past me. The others were already following him. Trunks on the other hand was just glaring at the back of his head. "Cheer up!" I said grabbing his hand and pulled him out of the store to catch up with the others. He entwined his fingers with mine, and I couldn't help but give off a small sigh. And he must have noticed it too because he dropped my hand, and gave a small but sad smile. Gave one back and went back to Brandon. He was already in the store, and Bra was standing next to him, talking about something. Everyone was looking around, and goofing off.
I stood next to Brandon, and looked at the guitar that he held. It was beautiful, I may not have known a thing about guitars, but I knew it was amazing. "You like it?" He asked. I nodded dumbly. "It's yours!" He said and handed the cashier his credit card. After a few more minutes of finalizing some stuff he handed me the bag with my lesson books, and he held the guitar for me. Correction, my guitar. "I'm going to sign up for classes as soon as possible!" I said skipping with joy, and smiled and ruffled my hair, I didn't mind, this guy was amazing. "No need to, I'll give you lessons myself; that is if you want me to." "Hell yea! You are officially one of my favorite people ever." I said and Pan bumped me a little. "You are too Pan." I said and hugged her. We all walked and talked for a while, everyone except for Trunks. "I have to go, I have a head ache." He mumbled; before we could say anything at all he left. "What's wrong with him?" Uubu asked no one in particular. After awhile we shrugged it off and we eventually found a place to eat.
I sat between Goten and Brandon, and we played 'pass it down' between the three of us. After awhile it got physical, and being the one in the middle I was getting most of the abuse. After we ate we all decided to go home. "Why don't you came and hang out at our place?" Bra offered clinging onto Gotens arm. "Sure, I have nothing else to do." He said and we all got up and left. I saw Brandon's eyes widen at the sight of Capsule Corp. he looked amazed. "You ok?" I teased, and he just walked in with a daze. We all sat in the living room and everyone watched as Brandon gave me my first guitar lesson. I was so confused, and basically lost. After awhile we gave up and eventually everyone fell asleep; except for Brandon and I. He stopped for awhile, my fingers were beginning to hurt, so I made us some hot chocolate, and we talked for awhile.
I knew this was coming, but I wish it didn't. "So what's up with you and Trunks?" He asked me, I moaned a little and began with the story. By the time I was done he was shaking his head. I smirked and gave him a slight punch on his arm. We looked around the room, Bra and Goten we snuggling together, and Pan and Uubu were sprawled out over each other. He got up and stretched. I stood up also, and bent over backwards to crack my back. "When are you free?" I asked him. "Um, it doesn't matter, give me a call ok? I have to go." He said and I walked him to the door. We said our good byes and I grabbed my guitar and the books and went to the bedroom.
I looked to Trunks door and decided to go there after I dropped of my stuff. I put my guitar in the corner and walked into Trunks' room, where he was asleep. I kneeled down, and looked at him. I cursed myself for being to mellow dramatic and touched his cheek softly. He edged closer to me. "You know, I never wanted to hurt you. At all." I whispered before I knew what had come out of my mouth. "Fuck, if I knew shit like this was going to happen, I wouldn't have made the choices that I did." I needed to tell him, I needed to tell everyone, and they wouldn't keep anything from me. I laid my head down next to him, but decided that this was comfortable. So I crawled to the other side of his bed and lay down. He instinctively turned over. I took one of his arms and put it around me, and then closed my eyes to rest.
When I woke up he was staring at me clueless, and I stared back, and opened my mouth to say something, but closed it again. I did this a number of times, looking stupid I just shut my mouth. We got up and walked to the living room silently. Everyone was already up, and we sprawled out on the floor. This would probably be a good time to tell everyone, but I couldn't. "Brandon gone?" Uubu asked, I nodded. "So what's up with the two of you?" Bra asked me "We're just friends, he's really cool, what do you think of him?" I asked, they all nodded in approval, all except for Trunks, who looked away, and acted like he didn't hear me. "So are you guys hungry?" Pan asked, already headed to the kitchen, she freezer and took out a few mini pizza bagels. Trunks was sitting on the couch, I joined him. "Hey, you ok?" I asked concerned. He turned to look at me, he searched my face, I don't know what he was looking for, but I searched his eyes. I didn't know exactly what I saw, but I had to look away. It was way too intense. "Why did you climb into my bed, with me?" He asked almost in a hushed tone. I felt everyone turn to us. Bra suggested that they go to her room and find something to play later. He tried to leave as quietly as possible. I realized that he was still waiting for an answer. "I don't know." I said looking away for a second. I felt him roll his eyes. "So it has nothing to do with the fact that you needed somebody to be Brandon while me was gone?" He said coldly. The way he said Brandon's name sounded deadly, like it was laced with venom. "That's not it." I said just as coldly. "You don't have to lie, it's ok." He shot at me. I felt like slapping him, how dare he! "I think you have issues, why in the fuck would I be lying?" My voice raised till I was almost screaming. "Because you're a bitch!" He screamed, and before I could say anything, I reacted. I slapped him. Hard. I was glad that I did too, I got up and left.
I went to Bra's room and sat on her bed. "I slapped him." I said emotionless. Pan and Bra gasped, and Goten and Uubu looked at me. "Go see if he's alright." I told the guys, I wasn't asking them to, I was telling them to. "What happened?" Pan asked. "Well, after Brandon left I went to our room to put down my guitar, then I went to Trunks' room. I saw the ass hole asleep and I crawled into bed with him, because I missed the fucker. When I woke up the bastard was staring at me. So we got up and went down stairs. And you know what happened. He asked me why I was in bed with him. I said that I didn't know, and shit happened. He said that I was lying, and shit!" I screamed, I didn't want to continue, I was too exhausted. "Don't worry about it," Bra said, rubbing my back "We'll find out the rest from him, you should get some rest." She said and we walked back to our bedroom. I grabbed my Guitar and got into bed. Pan had volunteered to get me some mini pizza bagels. I was letting my fingers do as they pleased, and let them be as reckless as they wanted to be. I set it aside and took the mini pizza bagels that Pan had and ate them. "If you don't mind, I want to sleep now." I said and they walked out. I turned on the radio, not really paying attention to any thing. I grabbed my cell phone and called Brandon. "Hello?" He asked. "Hey.." I mumbled, I guess he picked up on how shitty I felt by the tone of voice that I used. "Mar, what's the matter?" He asked urgently. "Nothing really, I just slapped Trunks." I said carelessly. After about half an hour, he hung up. He had told me to take it easy, and apologize. He told me to tell Trunks that he said sorry too. I decided to worry about it when I woke up.
I woke up a few hours later, and went downstairs, where Trunks was looking miserable, and mad. "Sorry." I breathed out. He turned to me, and I saw a red mark on his cheek, had I really slapped him that hard? I reached out to touch it, but he retracted from my reach. "Brandon says sorry too." I said and he glared at me. I winced inwardly. "They told me," He began "that nothing was going on between you two, and I guess I never realized that I was a little jealous." A little?! Was he stupid or something, he was a lot more than a little jealous, but I didn't say anything, slowly I took a step foreword and wrapped my arms around him. I felt him stiffen under my touch, but I still held him. He slowly wrapped his arms around me and held me tighter. Then I moved out of his hold. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed the spot where I had slapped him. He turned to me, and didn't hesitate to kiss me. I didn't know what to do, but I was already kissing him back before I could register anything. We slowly broke apart, and I spotted four heads peaking at us behind a wall. I smiled to them, and they slowly came out. "Did you get the story?" I asked Pan and Bra. They nodded and smiled at us. So now that all of this is said and done, where do we stand? I wanted to ask him, but I didn't. I wanted to ask him in private. But first there was something I had to tell them.
