After Vegeta had gone to train and Bulma was off on a computer somewhere,
Trunks and Goten managed to creep downstairs to get breakfast. It wasn't
much of a breakfast, but more like a cabinet raid. Neither was feeling very
hungry so they didn't eat as much, yet still emptied a few cabinets.
Goten tossed the last bit of dry cereal into his mouth, then said, "Trunks, I ought to get home."
Trunks nodded and started silently cleaning off the table.
"Could you come with me?" Goten asked as he stood up and pushed in his chair.
Trunks smiled a not very convincing smile and said, "I'll catch up with you."
Goten stepped forward and put a finger under Trunks' chin, lifting his head up so their eyes met. "It's going to be ok," Goten whispered. He leaned forward and kissed Trunks lingeringly, then turned away and flew off.
Trunks watched Goten leave and stood there for a little bit staring after him. Snapping out of it, he felt color rise to his cheeks as he quickly turned back to cleaning off the table. * The door to his family's house was unlocked and slid open. Goten carefully walked in, tiptoed over the rung, and was almost to his room when he heard someone say, "Goten!" He quickly turned around and was greeted by a loud slap to the face. He held his cheek and tried to keep from crying. It wasn't that his cheek actually hurt, he was almost crying because it had come from his mother.
"Don't you ever stay out all night without calling me again! I was worried sick!" Chi-Chi shouted at him. She started sniffing, then threw her arms around Goten and hugged him while she cried.
Goten awkwardly hugged her back, then said, "Are you upset with me for anything. else?"
Chi-Chi took a step back and Goten let her go. She held her son at arms length and said, "It'll take some getting used to," she looked up into his eyes, "but you my little boy!" She held him tight again. "I could never hate you for something like that!"
Goten couldn't believe it! His mom didn't hate him! He hugged his mother back and once again could barely hold back his tears. * Trunks had slipped out of his house and was making his way to Goten's house. All he could think as he flew through the air was that he needed someone to convince his mom to cool down. He needed someone who had known her for a long time. His dad was failing, Goku wouldn't know what he was arguing about, Chi-Chi would be, well, Chi-Chi, Yamcha. Trunks laughed aloud. As if! Then there was Tien. TIEN! Trunks stopped flying like he had hit a (very, very, very strong) brick wall. Drifting around, he tried to figure out where Tien was. Finding Tien, he found Chatzuo, too. He changed his route and headed straight for Tien * Author's Note: I'm sorry the chapters are so short. They look better when they're written out by hand. bet y'all've heard that one before! So thanks for sticking with me and I'm glad you all like it so much! And Kitty-Kat Allie, try both! That'd be fun. And thanks to Ryu-Mizu for reviewing every time I update! Hopefully I'll be done by Friday. And to the P.S. of DBZ Lover, that's exactly what I was going for! And hello to LaDiNi, Cauli, and Megami no Nekura! POWER TO THE SAP LOVERS! On to Chapter Eight! R&R!
