A/N: Yes this was out rather quickly, like maybe one hour quickly. Hope you enjoy it.
"Goten…?" Trunks stared at his friend, frozen in place, unable to fathom this feeling of comfort and closeness, never able to ask, because he
was afraid of the answer. "Why…?" Trunks asked, breaking the silence. Goten stepped forward until their faces were only inches apart. Goten
raised a finger and traced Trunks' jaw line and down his throat. "Why did you fall in love with me?" Trunks asked. Goten stared, fixed on the
azure eyes before him. "It started as a feeling." Trunks blinked and asked, "What feeling?" Goten replied, "I felt comfortable and close around
you, protected and… happy." Trunks eyes widened and Goten continued, "It was more than that though, I started to call you beautiful in my
mind, seeing your face lit up with joy every time we were together. I always felt it was right to call you beautiful, in my mind, because you truly
are." Goten placed a finger on Trunks chest over his heart and said, "Inside…" He traced the muscle up to his jawline and whispered, "…and
out."
Trunks stared at his friend. The only thing he could think of was standing right in front of him. He couldn't take the pressure, the stress, and most
of all … shame… that's what I bring on my family's name…I'm not going to allow this to go any further… Trunks sighed and said,
"Look Goten, I know this will be hard for you to hear, but I just don't feel that way towards you." Goten's lively expression quickly turned in to
a frown. He nodded slowly and Trunks placed a hand on his shoulder. "Let's go see that movie you wanted to see," Trunks whispered, pulling
his friend with him down the hall and towards the door. I don't want to see a movie… Goten thought. Goten stopped Trunks on the way out
and exclaimed, "I've got to get home, sorry, maybe we could see it another time." He ran past Trunks and took to the sky, quickly fading into
the distance. It's just…I can't… Trunks thought, and walked back down the hall, and up to his room for some sleep. Chibi… if only I could…
Goten sniffled a bit, but managed to get home without breaking down. It was killing him to know how Trunks really felt about him. I love him
more than anything in the world, and now I have to live my life as his best friend. Just a friend…
Goten ran up the stairs to his room and closed the door behind him, quick to bury his face in the pillow on his bed. Nothing but tears and
sorrow, drowning out all the happiness he ever knew, or wanted in his life. Separating him from what once was, to what will be, for his lonely
future soon-to-be.
