It's Not Fair!
Chapter 4
Trunks was disorganized. His emotions all scattered. His long-time friendship with the younger demi-saiyan went out the window. What was he left with now? What was he going to do with the feelings he just witnessed with the other? Crush them? No. He couldn't do that.. He would never hurt him like that. But this was so unreal. It all happened so suddenly..
"Damn Goten.." Trunks groaned. He was still searching for the boy. The last he saw of him was in the hallway of their school. And the look on his face.. He was terrified. Of being rejected? If Trunks had time to explain things.. His feelings for Goten. Then would things be different.
"Boy! Get over here!" barked none other than Trunks' stern father, Vegeta. He was floating in mid-air. His arms crossed over his chest, his eyes sending daggers to the boy. The prideful saiyan, Vegeta.
Trunks quickly complied his father's orders and was soon levitating in front of the man.
"What aren't you in school, boy?"
Trunks didn't like the tone of voice that his father was giving him. But what could he do? He was always treated this way by the man. But Trunk's wondered if he actually cared for him... he'll have to find out someday–
"BOY!"
"Y-yes sir!"
"Don't look like a fool. Answer me." he spat.
"I was just.." He had to think of something.
"I could smell him off of you."
Trunks' eyes widened. He looked up at his father with disbelief. What was he talking about?
"The boy. Kakarot's youngest."
Goten kept his power level to a minium, so it won't be easy for Trunks to locate his exact position. That's if Trunks would bother at all in finding him. He probably didn't. He's probably at school disgusted at what I did. Kissing him.. I could still feel his warmth on my lips. Even thought it lasted only seconds. Goten bit his lip and allowed the tears to run more freely now. What a stupid mistake he pulled. He shouldn't have done that. But what Trunks had said broke him down. Well, too bad for his romantic first time kiss.
Goten had to rethink the locations where he was planning to hide for the rest of his life. He couldn't go home in fear of his mother yelling at him for skipping school, and probably the first place where Trunks would go if he were looking for him. Capsule Corp. was the last place where he wanted to go. Maybe he should seek solitude in the vast forests around. But he wouldn't be able to stay in one place for long, Trunks would eventually be after him..
All these worries were too much for the young boy, Goten stopped and dropped to his knees. He didn't look around but covered his face and let the tears run down his face. He was in a small forest, not far from the city he was in. He then hid himself by leaning against a tree and some brush.
He hated how emotionally weak he got. Guess it wears you down after a while.
"Boy?" I didn't like the word he chose to call me. He knew damn well what my name was. Better not start a fight now, he was busy looking for Goten, but precious time is wasting.
"Well!" he was annoyed and angered by not getting a response quick enough.
"We– were sparring."
"That doesn't tell me why you aren't in school."
Crap.. He doesn't have time for this! So he remained silent.
"Let that women worry about your marks. I could care less.." then he turned and left. "But I'm expecting you home soon after to train!"
Trunks grinned. He knew his father hated the school curriculum and preferred that his son would train more, but Bulma made it clear that her son should finish school first before spending day and night in the gravity room like his father. So he too turned and continued looking.
Goten had fallen asleep. The tears made him sleepy, and the warmth of the sun and air were more than inviting. He had curled up against the soft grass and dreamed.
Before long, Trunks found him.. Almost accidently. First, he went to Goten's house and spied inside through the window. Nope. Then he went though the entire city twice and still no luck. Then he went to the outskirts of the city and searched there. Then he sensed ki being suppressed, and decided to investigate it, and sleeping comfortably on the grass was the boy who had captured the lavender haired boy's heart.
"Goten.." he murmured. Right now all he wanted was to curl up next to him and dream. But he didn't want to stir the sleeping beauty, so Trunks sat close and waited...
Finally, Goten opened his eyes. He registered and remembered where he was. But it wasn't bright and warm now, it was cool and already the darkness settled. But he remained on the ground, he knew someone was behind him.. He also didn't have to guess who it was..
Trunks remained in the same spot since the afternoon. He ignored his growling stomach and tiredness so he can stay by Goten's side if he were to wake up. And he didn't want to leave only to return with the demi-saiyan gone. He was almost determined to stay by his side.. If not forever. Trunks' gaze was cast down.. He had more than enough time to think about things, and only wished if Goten would listen.
"Goten.." he whispered. He didn't know that the younger teen was already awake so he continued. "For the longest time I.. No.. from since I can remember, we've been best friends. We were always together, it was either we were playing or sparring or getting into trouble, but those times were different.. We were friends then. We're growing older and we have more responsibilities. Going from pre-school to high school. And then he noticed girls. I remember the first time you told me that you had a crush on a girl once.. That wasn't long ago. But you had more to say, I just didn't listen. I was crushed when you told me. But I had to try to look excited and happy for you.." he sighed. Trunks ran his hand though his hair and mumbled a few curse words.. He was thinking of what to tell Goten next..
Goten, all the while, only pretended to still be asleep. And through the short speech of Trunks' his heart was pounding. Blood rushed to his ears and could not believe what his lavender-haired beloved was saying! He tried all he could not to cry, but silent tears soon leaked from his eyes.
Trunks, retreated back to his thoughts. He began to wonder if Goten would wake up soon.. He had hoped that he would remember what he just said so he can repeat it to the other boy. Then he continued thinking aloud. "Goten.. I knew I should have told you this sooner.. But I was so afraid of what your reaction might be.." then his eyes came upon the "sleeping" boy. His heart nearly jumped out from his chest. Goten rolled from his side to his back and sat up. He was awake! But for how long? "H-how much did you–"
Tears still flowed from his eyes, down his chin. "Everything.." he whispered. He was trembling.
Trunks' breathing became deep and short. He fell back, with the support of the tree he remained in a sitting up position. "Goten– I.." he trailed off.
But the younger demi-saiyan didn't need to hear anymore. He slowly and carefully crawled over to the older teen and carefully wrapped his arms around his torso and leaned into him. "Please don't let this be a dream.." he breathed. Never wanting to let go.
Trunks looked down at the black haired boy and too, wrapped his arms around him. He pulled his closer thinking that he might disappear.
Goten then positioned himself so that he was between Trunks' legs and still holding onto him. His head resting on his chest. He could hear Trunks' heart beating rapidly..
Trunks' had allowed him to move into a more comfortable position, and when his head leaned against his chest, Trunks rested his chin on Goten's head. They fitted perfectly. Trunks realized that this felt natural. None of this felt abnormal or strange. The only mystery that lay ahead of the two was their future.. And Trunks knew that it was going to get only better.
Finally.. Both broke the barrier between each other and cracked the ice that kept their hearts apart..
They were in love.
