Chapter 2: Visiting Uncle Goten

I flew over Satan City praying Garrick would fall to sleep. "I should go see Uncle Goten. He always makes me feel better."

I changed direction heading to my Uncle's apartment. It was only a couple of minutes before I landed on his balcony. "I hope he's home."

I stepped through the sliding doors into the kitchen. Light from the TV was flickering off the walls of the dark living room. ~He probably fell asleep watching TV again~

I walked through the dark kitchen into the living room. That's when I saw him.

He was lying on top of someone on the couch kissing. Their hands were tangled in my uncle's hair and Uncle Goten's hands were all over the other person.

I stepped back to leave before I was noticed but after about two steps I ran into a kitchen chair, which squeaked, on the linoleum floor. The loud squeak caused me to cringe and my Uncle Goten and his mystery lover to jump.

"What the HFIL?" Yelled Uncle Goten.

"Oh-um sorry Uncle Goten. I'll Lea." I began.

"Oh my Dende, Panny?" Yelled another voice that was way to familiar.

"TRUNKS?!" I sidestepped away from the chair and continued to back up. "I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to bother you. I'll go."

"No Panny!" Trunks jumped from the couch and grabbed my arm. "We can explain."

"Trunks there's no need to explain." I said trying to shake my arm from his grip.

"Pan just sit a moment." Trunks said giving me those eyes he knows I can't say no to.

With a sigh I plopped on the couch and laid my sleeping son on the floor. My Uncle Goten and Trunks sat on opposite sides of me.

"So why are you making me stay?" I asked side glancing at Trunks.

Goten put a hand on my shoulder. "Please don't tell anyone."

"Uncle Goten you don't need to worry about me telling. But if you don't mind me asking when and how did this happen."

"I don't think Trunks would want to talk about it." Uncle Goten said.

"No Goten it's ok."

"Trunks you don't have to tell me." I said resting a hand on his arm. "I understand if your not comfortable talking about it."

"No Pan, I've always told you everything. You've always been as much my best friend as Goten. Now the only change is that Goten's not just my best friend, he's my love."

"Ok so how bout we start with when."

Trunks' eyes shifted from my face to the floor. "Three months after my mother died." Trunks' eyes started to water as he turned his head away trying to hide his tears from me. He has no idea how much he acts like his father.

Uncle Goten reached across me and took Trunks' hand into his own and continued to explain. "He went into depression not long after you left. He stopped dating. He refused to even eat. All he did was sleep." Uncle Goten shook his head. "He tried to push everyone including me out of his life."

"Yeah to bad my sister has always had a crush on you. If she didn't she wouldn't have let you in the house all the time." Trunks muttered with a small smile.

"If I didn't come to your house every day you would have starved yourself."

I shook my head sadly. "Trunks what did you do to yourself. I pulled Trunks to me in a tight hug. "Trunks you, your sister, and Uncle Goten are my best friends. If I lost any of you I don't know what I would do. I'm glad Uncle Goten was here to do what he did. If I was here I would have been right there with Uncle Goten. So how did it lead to you two being together?"

Trunks quickly whipped away the tears in his eyes before they had the chance to fall. "Goten showed up every day to make sure I ate and he would stay and watch movies with me. Just being there for me. Finally one day we were watching The Twilight Zone (Hehe, there a twilight Zone marathon on TV today, I was watching it this morning) sitting on my bed. That was one of my more depressed days. It was the three-month anniversary of my mother's death. Goten kept telling me he wouldn't allow me to die, that he cared about me to much. I broke down and Goten just held me for hours. After a while I stopped crying and just laid there in his arms. Goten made me feel so important. No woman I ever dated would have taken care of me like he did. It had gotten to the point where I started to look forward to Goten coming over each day."

Trunks looked up into Goten's eyes and smiled. "Despite my grief that was the best day of my life. That was the day I first kissed Goten and I confessed the feelings that had developed over the previous weeks."

Goten blushed and smiled back at Trunks rubbing the back of Trunks' hand with his thumb. "And I confessed to Trunks the feelings I'd had for a couple months. I had realized my feelings for him the first day I'd forced him to let me in his room. I broke through the door to find him curled into a ball on the bed. He had hardly eaten over the previous few weeks and had lost so much weight. It broke my heart to see him so weak and lifeless. He wasn't the same Trunks I grew up and got into trouble with."

Trunks sighed, "Over time we began to explore our relationship and Goten convinced me to come out of my room and go out and have some fun. Though we were always careful not to look like a couple, waiting till we came home to enjoy the pleasures of kissing and touching."

I looked from Trunks to Uncle Goten. "So no one else knows? Not even Bra?"

"Not even Bra." Trunks answered shaking his head.

"You know she's gonna be upset when she eventually dose find out. She's had a crush on Uncle Goten for about as long as I can remember. She may not talk to you for a while."

"She's gonna hate me." Goten said rubbing his hand over his eyes.

"She won't hate you, Uncle Goten. It my take a while for her to forgive you but she would never hate you."

(Third POV)

The three just sat in silence for a few minutes as Pan absorbed all the information she had been told. She couldn't believe it Trunks one of the biggest womanizers and her Uncle were gay.

"Pan are you alright?" Trunks asked grasping her arm.

"What? Oh fine. Just a little blown away that's all. Don't worry I won't tell anyone."

A/N: Well I know you all something like that coming, but I had fun writing that chapter. Please Review!
