Between You and Me
Chapter 5: Memories and Trunks' Feelings
I have to say that I am a little down about this, sorry I haven't posted in so long, a temporary case of writer's block that gave way to a million ideas, but I've gotten some work done. I reposted my very first fic and wrote two chapters to my first ever Dragonball fic! And I have so many more ideas and so little time!!!
By the time Trunks got back to school on Monday, things were taking a major turn for the worst. If only he had held his tongue when the time came, he and Goten would been goofing off as always, but no, they hadn't talked at all. All Trunks could accomplish were awkward looks from his desk. Goten was really mad, and why shouldn't he be?
In the middle of that was Riona, beautiful as always, not understanding what was going on, but tending to be more open to Goten in the fact that he would be open to her.
I'll never be good enough for Riona. She won't ever know what's going on with me
Trunks, who had never been open to anyone anyway, watched as Goten and Riona shared quality time together, to the point that they were eating lunch together and walking home together.
Just leave me alone.
On those nights Trunks had trouble sleeping, and when he did finally sleep, he had weird flashback dreams about Riona and Goten.
"Hey Trunks. If you had one thing in the world, what would it be?" Rio asks.
It was so easy then to say what I felt. I just said, "You." How old was I then? Do kids fall in love that young? I always have been more mature than kids my age, same for Rio. I wish I could figure this out. What would I say now?
In the dream, Trunks appeared in place of his past self and Rio appeared in place of her past self. She looked at him directly, her eyes were sparkling. She asked him the same question, "If you had one thing in the world, what would it be?"
I don't know what to say.
"I'm sorry Rio, if I could have anything it would be Goten back. I miss him. I know that if I had you now, it would only tear my brother and I apart."
She smiled and kissed his cheek, but they were back to being kids again. And Trunks has it all.
Back at school everything is boring because Goten is not talking to Trunks. It's not that he's mad, he hardly ever gets mad, but he doesn't want to feel bad about something he didn't do. Well, it's too late, he already feels bad and Trunks still isn't talking to him. How long can this torture go on!?! A day without Trunks sounded easy, but Goten guessed that without Trunks, he really had no one. Sure there were girls that always flirted with him, but in the end, he didn't care much about any of them. The whole thing just made him think too much and feel bad.
Trunks mumbled something about sitting down. He was acting humble, something that only happened every blue moon with the Trunks. Goten nodded and cleared out a spot on the bench, keeping his head down to look at his book.
"Goten." "Trunks." They said at once. It was like they were back to normal already, they were laughing at the irony of their fights. These two could not stay angry at each other for long, it hurt their well being. It was like they were a part of each other's personality.
"I'm sorry 'ten, I was mad," Trunks said, flirting with the idea that he might tell Goten his real feelings. Maybe they would both just give up on Riona and go for someone else! It was all possible!
"But why, dude?" Goten asked, looking calm and patient.
"Goten, promise me you won't let this information out," Trunks' voice lowered and Goten leaned in to hear better, "I think that, well, I think that…"
Stop Stammering around it you Idiot!!!
"I like Riona. A lot. So when you said you liked her, I freaked." Goten and Trunks laughed at each other again. When Riona came over, they seemed to be just like normal. That made her happy. Trunks and Goten never figured out what they would do about Riona, but for now, at least they had each other.
That's it! It is a shorter chapter I know, but I'm not even sure what the next chapter will get me. I have some ideas, but I don't know yet! See you in chapter six!
