Trunks opened his eyes and looked at the clock. It read 5:00 am. He sighed, wondering why he had woken up. One arm was around a sleeping Goten, the other arm behind his own head. Goten was curled up, his head on Trunks' chest and his hand on Trunks' stomach.
But he couldn't shake the feeling that something had woken him up.
He carefully slipped out of the bed, even though he was not very concerned with waking up Goten who could sleep thought anything and everything (excluding food). Trunks put a pillow under the sleeping boy's head before making his way out of the room
He silently walked down the hall until he came to his parents' room, where he heard a 'loud conversation' that was slightly muffled by a door.
"I already told you, woman, what he does is his business and his problem," came his father's voice from the other side of the door.
"But it is our problem! He's our son!" his mother almost shouted in reply.
"He's with a warrior that is quite creditable. I don't know what you have to complain about!" his father said in a voice that was barely controlled.
Trunks could almost see his mother clenching her hands in a feeble attempt to control her anger. She then said in a venomous voice, "You wouldn't say that if it was Gohan that he had fallen for."
He heard the slam of his father's fist against the wall and his booming voice shout, "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS CONVERSATION!"
Trunks heard the angry footsteps of his father storming towards the door. Trunks jumped up and ran into his room, managing to shut his door quietly before his father came down the hall.
But before Trunks had made it to his bed, there was a loud slam at the door. *
