Yonk: I'm happy I got you interested! Yay! About whether they're gonna get together or not....Telling you would spoil the fic! Thanks for reviewing!

This One Thing
Chapter 3: "Fine Dining"

I stare at Goten in disbelief, "Really? Do you mean it?" Completely shocked my mouth is hanging open and I swear my eyes are probably popping out of my head. He smiles at me, his face haloed by the bright morning light. Huh? The light's just a bit too bright, isn't it... I dunno why, but something feels weird.... I think to myself. As I finish my thought, Goten suddenly turns into a ketchup bottle. "What?!" I exclaim. "What's going on here?"

My eyes open suddenly and I sit up quickly from my position asleep on the couch in my living room. "That was one weird dream!" I exclaim under my breath, pushing a few lavender strands of hair from my eyes, only to have them fall back. I rub my the sleep from my eyes and scan the living room, noticing that the sunlight is shining through the east facing windows, yet the sun is up higher. Man I must've been asleep for a long time, it must almost be noon already! As I think about, I realize that I probably didn't sleep that long, considering the fact that I'd been up since past 1 am......Me an' Goten had stayed out until the early hours of the morning, just acting like idiots. We'd spent hours chasing each other, and after we'd ended up getting into a short sparring match. I know, that may sound kinda weird to someone who's not a Saiyan, but that's our idea of fun, I guess. Afterwards, we'd just sat down, completely exhausted, and just talked for hours. I know that we 'talk' all of the time, but we've never really talked like we did then for quite some time. Turns out Goten hasn't agreed to go to that dance that's being held at school tonight, so I guess I have no reason not to ask him now....But what if he says no, I mean, that would completely ruin our friendship......Not to mention my heart, I add to myself. Then again, this can't be healthy, obsessing over someone and never telling them...

"Trunks-kun!!" I hear a voice that sounds oddly like Goten's call out. I see his head poke around the corner of the entrance to the living room and he smiles at me. "I thought I heard you get up!" But I didn't move at all, how could he have heard me? I think. "I dunno how, I just did I guess!" he adds cheerfully. Is he responding to me? But I didn't say anything out loud? I ask myself, confused. "Anyway, I found a ton of food on the kitchen table!" He exclaims, then, almost as an afterthought, he adds, "You can have some if you want!"

"Why thank you, Chibi! I mean, it is my house, I'm so happy you're allowing me to eat some of my food!" I exclaim. He simply chuckles at my statement and returns back to the kitchen. What a baka! But that's part of why I love him! He deserves to know how I feel about him..... Little did I know ,but as I thought this, I subconsciously made the decision to tell him about my feelings....Getting up off of the couch, I slowly stroll into the kitchen. Whoa! My eyes probably almost popped out of my head, but not without just cause, the table was covered in food! I mean, literally covered with food! There was food with more food that was piled on top food that had been piled on top of that food. Goten was sitting at the table, dwarfed by the massive pile, shoving handful after handful of food into his mouth.

"Wow," I state. "That's a lot of food!" I walk over to a chair sit down. I pick up a bagel and begin to chow down. "And you say.....you found.... all of.....this?" I ask between mouthfuls of food.

"Yep!" He responds, "It was...just....sitting here..."

In minutes the pile is visibly dwindling, in another five minutes, the pile has disintegrated into one lonely bagel. I stare at the bagel, Goten, the bagel, and then back at Goten. He stares back at me, as if to say: it's mine. I hold his gaze in defiance, suddenly he jumps up after the bagel, and I spring up after him. He reaches it first and I tackle him off of the table and onto the floor. He's holding the bagel right beyond my grasp as I try to reach for it. He rolls us over so that he's on top and holds the bagel in front of my face. He has my arms pinned down at my side by his knees, so I'm in no position to steal the bagel from him. As I struggle to get out from under him, he slowly tears a piece of the bagel off and eats it slowly, our eyes locked the whole time. Somehow I find this oddly arousing.....

"That's an interesting position you brats are in!" I hear a gruff voice call from the direction of the doorway. I tilt my head back to see an upside down version of father standing in the doorway leaning against the wall, nothing big.....Wait! FATHER!?! I sit up quickly, knocking Goten onto the floor and turn to face father.

"Umm...it's not what you think!" I quickly assure him.

Father smirks, "Hmph! Yeah whatever...D'you think I'm stupid?"

"Honestly, Mr. Vegeta, we weren't doing anything. I was just showing off that I'd gotten this bagel, and not Trunks!" adds Goten, gesturing towards the half-eaten bagel he was holding for emphasis.

"I really don't care brat, just .don't. do that in the kitchen!" he states. "Wait a minute, did you say 'bagel'?" he asks us. When he doesn't receive an answer, he looks over towards the table that had .once. held a huge amount of food. His trademark vein pulses on his forehead as he clenches his fists. I look over at Goten nervously and mouth to him, 'get ready to run'. He nods in response and we return our attention to father. He seems to be hyperventilating as he speaks, "That. was. my. food!" He blasts into Super Saiyan with a quick yell, and I look at Goten and nod.

"Run!" With that we both rush past him and close the door to the kitchen behind us. Thank you Mother, I think to myself, thankful that she had installed Saiyan-proof doors in most of the house, just in case any bad guys happen to want to attack us or something like that. "Man, that was close!" I pant to Goten.

"Yeah, I've never seen him that angry in a long time!" laughs Goten, "He must've been really hungry!"

"Yeah I guess so..." I trail off, thinking. He doesn't usually get that upset when someone eats his food. Oh well, it doesn't really matter that much... "So, Chibi, what do you want to do today?" I ask casually.

He shrugs, "I dunno, hmmm...... Why don't we go out to eat?"

I face vault at this, He just ate! I slowly pick myself up and stare at him. "Dude, you just ate! And now you want to go out and stuff your face again?" I ask incredulously.

"Yep!" he responds happily, smiling widely at me. I simply stare at him.

"How can you eat so much?" I ask.

"I think it has something to do with Saiyan metabolism or somethin'," he responds.

I smack my forehead, "That was a rhetorical question, baka!" He stares at me blankly, causing me to question myself as to how he ever got this far in school. "Oh well, we better get goin', I'm not quite sure how long that door can hold Father," I tell him. We both head towards the front door, which is just down the hall. "So where do you want to eat?"

"Hmm..." he puts his hand under his chin like he's deep in thought. "How 'bout that new all-you-can-eat place?" he suggests.

"Works for me! Plus, they're new, so I don't think you're dad or any of the other Saiyans/half-Saiyans have gotten to it yet!"I respond. I open the door and Goten walks out in front of me. I let the door shut behind us I float up a couple of feet off of the ground, as does Goten. "Last one there's gotta do the other's homework for a month!" I shout, blasting off quickly.

"Hey!" I hear Goten yell to me, "Not fair, you got a head start! I can't belie..." his voice dwindles as I feel his Ki go farther behind me. Bakayarou...I can't believe him! I hear a voice say in my head, Ok this is getting weird. Why do I keep hearing Goten's voice in my head? Could it really be Goten? Father told me once about how Saiyans bond to their lifelong mates as a symbol of their love, he also said this bonding would aloow them to communicate we really be bonding?! Tentatively, I call out with my mind, Goten? Can you hear me?
