Is This Wrong?
Crystal: Thank you for the reviews I got. They make it worth writing.

"We're so sorry about what happened." Bulma's mom cooed.
That's what they've all been saying sense they got here! If they're really sorry them they'll stop talking about it!
"Yeah, we know how hard it must be." Bulma replied.
No you don't. You don't know at all. No one in your family has died this way; you've never felt this kind of pain before. The pain of losing a loved one, and the emptiness that replaces the familiar warmth in your heart.
I just sat at my spot at the table, legs crossed and my arms folded. My face was set glaring at our 'guests'. Weren't guests supposed to be invited? Because last time I checked I didn't invite any of them.
At least Trunks didn't come. He was busy with some new video game and threw a fit when his parents tried to make him go. Vegeta just didn't care. I guess going out of your way to help out friends went against his honor code.
I sighed, but what I really meant was, 'get the hell out of our house and let us be!'
Dad turned to me and shook his head in warning. I turned away.
"I think we should go now. You two need some time."
Thank you!
Dad cornered me in my room after they left.
"Why did you act like that towards them?"
"I wanted them to leave, they weren't making anything better."
"They were only trying to be polite, trying to make us feel better."
"Well I don't think reminding us of the fact that mom's gone is helping any."
Goku sighed. He had a point.
"Fine."
There was an awkward silence after that. We just sat there, until he asked that question. That horrible question. I thought as soon as he asked it every volcano on earth would erupt and kill us all, taking me out of the nightmare. No such luck.
"Is something wrong? Besides ChiChi dieing that is."
'Damn!'
"No reason, I just have a lot on my mind."
"Like what?" He pressed. He was getting an answer, forced or not.
"Just…stuff."
"Is it someone in particular?"
'Well duh, but if I told you, you'd have a heart attack.'
"Yeah. I suppose,"
'Why did I say that again?'
Goku smirked. "Oh I see. May I ask who the lucky girl is? Or are you to shy?"
"I guess, but it's not really a girl."
'Stop telling him things!'
"Oh."
More silence.
"Alright, who is he?"
"Just, you know…a guy."
"Are you embarrassed to say?"
"No, I…"
"Because you can tell me."
"Yes but…"
"I won't laugh, trust me."
I snapped. "It's you okay!"
I jumped up from my seat and ran out the door. I didn't care if he was pissed beyond belief at me or whatever, I just had to get out.
"Goten wait!"
(Goku's POV)
Wait a second. Backup. Did he just say, he liked me? That way? It's either that or I'm hearing things. Never mind, I have to go find him.
"Goten! Goten where are you!" I yelled for what seemed like hours.
"Damn, where are you?"
It was late already and it was freezing in this rain. If it was possible it was getting colder.
"What's that sound?"
I stopped in mid-flight, listening intently for that sound again. It sounded like…crying maybe? It was crying!
"Goten?"
I was walking now, towards a bunch of trees and bushes. The crying got louder the closer I got.
"Why did I have to say that! I should've just lied."
It was definitely Goten.
"Why do I even like him that way? He looks just like me but I don't blush when I look in the mirror. Ah…this sucks! Love sucks! I'm only thirteen, why I'm I being punished!"
I couldn't help but laugh at his little problem. I know it was mean but I can't help it!
"Who's there? Hello?"
Crud he heard me. Well this is awkward. It took all I had to be perfectly still but being crouched down isn't very comfortable.
"D-dad? What are you doing here?"
"Oh you know, just…hanging out in the grass…the wet, muddy grass. How have you been?"
"Look if you want me to go home I will."
"Actually I wanted to talk to you."
'Here comes the yelling.'
(Normal POV)
Goten braced himself. Maybe he wouldn't kill him, maybe he would give him two days to pack up and leave. But he didn't get what he was expecting. The next thing he knew he was being hugged.
"I thought you were mad at me. Aren't you?"
"Why would I be? I know it was hard for you to tell me that, and I wasn't expecting it either."
Goten's face fell. Okay, at least he didn't hate him. That was good right? Maybe the worst that would happen was that he would be sent to Trunks' house, with daily visits.
"But," Goku continued, " that doesn't mean I'll be mad at you. Just take as much time as you need and sort things out, I think your more confused than I am. When your ready to talk, tell me everything you want. Deal?"
Goten smiled. "Sure!"
"Good. Now what do you say we get out of the rain and get something to eat?"
"Okay, let's get McDonalds!" (Crystal: I really don't know if they have McDonalds in Japan, but they do here.)
