Gohan entered his home a little past midnight, a bit tired but excided on how the date went. Vidal didn't yell at him once and he didn't goof up as well. He was beginning to like Vidal more and more as he spent time with her.
As he closed the door behind him, he took a look around hopping not to find an angry mother waiting up for him. His curfew did end a few minutes ago. Sighing slightly that his mother wasn't up he walked up stares towards his room. Opening his mother's door slightly to check if she was ok, he noticed Goten cuddled up next to her.
"Looks like mom has some company again. I bet she let Trunks sleep in Goten's room....." He said before walking to Goten's room to confirm his thoughts.
Sure enough Trunks lay in Goten's bed. "I guess I was right. Mom never could let any one leave when it was to late." He said with a quiet laugh, before turning to leave.
"ChiChi....." Came a soft moan from Trunks.
With that very sound Gohan turned quickly in the door way; eyebrows narrowed and mouth opened. "What?! You gotta be kidding me!?" He almost yelled.
Closing the door he walked over to Trunks, grabbing the older man by the muscle shirt and dragged him out of the bed, pushing him to the wall.
Trunk's eye snapped open shocked at what was going on, he didn't even have time to brace himself for the impact on the wall. "G..G.Gohan? What are you doing? What's wrong?" He's voice confused and a bit scared at how Gohan was staring at him.
"Why in the hell are you dreaming about my mother?!" Gohan all but yelled. He didn't want to wake Goten and his mother and scare them. "Answer me...." His voice a bit lower. Gohan lost his father, but that didn't mean that he had to loose his mother too or have some one try and take his father's place.
Trunks's eyes couldn't have gotten any wider. He figured he must have been talking in his sleep. "Look Gohan, just calm down." He said raising his hands to show Gohan he didn't want any trouble.
"No, I will not calm down. Why are you dreaming about my mother!? Trunks!?"
"Let me go Gohan." His voice firm.
Gohan looked at him for a minute, not sure weather to do so or not. "Fine." He said, as he loosened his grip; letting him go. "Now what's going on?" His voice still hard as he took a step back.
Trunks put a hand threw his hair and took a seat on the bed. "Gohan, I care about your mom."
"No! You stay away from her. She's went threw hell already and I wont let you take her away!" Gohan yelled.
"Gohan keep it down. You'll wake her and Goten up." Trunks quieted him. "Look I don't want to hurt you mom, and I don't want to take her away from you. Do you understand? I just lo....care about her."
Gohan couldn't believe this. Was he just suppose to let it be?....What if Trunks tried to get with her, what if he did loose his mom? What if Goten grows up forgetting his dad? "Why? Why did you come back? Why do you care about her?.......Why should I understand and let it be?" Gohan asked looking away.
Trunks looked down. He wasn't sure how he was suppose to handle this. This wasn't the same Gohan he new in his time line. He didn't know how this one thought. "Look, Gohan. I'm not telling you to understand why I love you mom. I just do."
"Love her?! How could you love her?! You don't even know her!" Gohan yelled.
"I do. I really do. Gohan. You don't need to know a person inside out to fall in love with them. I came back because I wanted to see her smile again. Her very smile makes me happy. I didn't come back to break your family up........or replace your father."
"You'll never replace him. My dad was the greatest man who ever lived." He almost yelled.
"I don't plan to replace him or make any one forget him. He was a great man, Gohan. I respect you father." Trunks said calming Gohan down just a bit. "But I really would like to have a chance at making your mom happy."
Gohan was beginning to loose it. And fast. "No."
"Gohan."
"I said no!"
Trunks knuckles whitened as he tightened his fists. "What would you rather prefer, Gohan! That your mother lives the rest of her life alone. To never know that some one loves her the way two people should love one anther." He started to yell, adding fuel to Gohan's fire. "Would you prefer that she stay in this house alone, to die alone!? To never feel the love from another man! To never be touch or kiss-" Trunks couldn't even finish the sentence as Gohan hit him in the mouth.
"You will never tough her! You hear me!" Gohan said lunging at him.
"Gohan! What in the world do you think your doing!?" Came ChiChi shocked and stern voice.
Gohan lifted him self from Trunks, who was now on the floor. "Mom....I..I thought you were asleep."
"I was. Until all this yelling woke Goten up." She said gesturing to the six year old who was by her leg. "Now what in the hell is going on?" She asked, standing in the middle of the door way in her purple rob.
"Nothing ChiChi. Me and Gohan just had a little disagreement." Trunks said getting up. "But every things ok, now."
"Why were you guys fighting then?" Goten asked taking a step forward from behind his mother.
"It's stupid. Really. Besides. Trunks is right. We both know how we feel about the subject and know better to act on it........Isn't that right Trunks?" Gohan said looking back at Trunks with a glare and a silent warning.
Trunks looked back at Gohan and then to ChiChi. "Yeah, every thing is just fine."
ChiChi looked at the two and narrowed her eyes. She knew some thing was wrong, but thought it better to drop it right now. "Fine. Lets all go to bed. All of us! I will have no more yelling or fighting in this house. Is that understood?" She asked, having every one nod. "Good."
"Mommy, Can I watch TV?" Goten asked looking up to his mother.
ChiChi turned to glare at Gohan and Trunks. "See you wake him up and now he's not going to wanna go back to sleep. I swear." She said bending down and picking up Goten.
"Is that a yes." Goten's eyes hopeful.
ChiChi didn't answer, but merely walked back to her room.
Gohan turned to look at Trunks. "You heard me. Don't act on it. I mean it Trunks." He said before turning to leave.
"This isn't over Gohan." Trunks replied.
"Oh I think it is." He said before closing the door.
A/N: So what did ya think. I know, I know. Real short but I'll get the next one out soon. Yay, I'm going to post my new web site up this week end. Yay for me!
