Author's note: Hi I'm finally back! I changed the summary and added a new chapter woo hoo go me! Well this chapter is mostly about Gohan and it starts out as a dream. Well here we go.
Chapter 4
:DREAM:
Gohan was just sitting on a hill a little far-off from the Son residence minding his own business. The sight before him was amazing; the sky was a myriad of colour from the setting sun which was just starting to hit the small lake far below him. He was thankful this area was secluded from outside world by the hundreds of trees which only helped to make the sight even more incredible, he just wanted this to himself for now.
The warm air soothed the boy, for a split second Gohan wished he could just stay in this moment, not having to worry about fighting or having to be the cause of anyone's pain ever again.
But he quickly dismissed that thought, fighting was a apart of him, he needed to fight to get stronger, he needed to hurt others, that's what it meant to be a saiyan; he knew that. He knew that he could never stop fighting, but for now he just wanted to stay a little bit longer.
That was the boy's last drowsy thought before he fell into a light sleep. The boy didn't notice the other presence that set itself down beside him to catch the rest of the sunset, nor did he notice the warm blanket that was wrapped around him and the other person, though he did notice the others body heat and unconsciously decided to snuggle into the new warmth.
The other person didn't seem phased by this action but you could see the small glimmer of surprise and bliss in the others eyes. The two bodies just stayed like that for a while.
When Gohan finally woke up he found that his head was resting on a shoulder and that there was a blanket around him and the body that was attached to that shoulder. He looked up to the only to find that he was gazing into azure depths.
Gohan panicked he was cuddling Mirai Trunks and he was finding he couldn't turn away from those captivating eyes. Unsurprisingly Mirai Trunks was the first to speak.
"About time you woke up, I was beginning to think that I'd have to carry you home." This snapped Gohan out of his daze but the thought of Trunks carrying him home did appeal to him he chose not to voice those thoughts, instead he let out an indignant scoff.
"As if Trunks, I'm usually a light sleeper unlike some people around here." This time it was Mirai Trunks who scoffed.
"Gohan I come all the way out here to keep you company and when you finally wake up you insult me, is that how Chichi raised you?" Both boys laughed at this, it was just too funny trying to imagine Chichi teaching anyone how to insult others.
"How'd you know I was here anyways, or where here is?" Gohan was really curious to know this, as far as he knew he was the only person who knew of this place.
"You showed it to me, uh well the future you did anyways. You discovered this place right?" Gohan grinned at the other saiyan.
"Yep, I found this place a couple of years ago; I come here to just to watch the sunset sometimes, just like today."
"I know, he told me that once. I heard that your mom couldn't find you and wasn't giving Goku dinner until you came home, poor guy was complaining about it to mother earlier and I knew you'd be here."
The two boys laughed at this and just sat companionable silence after that, not really caring if Goku got his dinner or not, he ate three helpings more than he usually had for lunch and when Gohan wasn't looking devoured his lunch as well.
"Ne Trunks, do you think we'll ever stop doing this?" The chibi turned to watch the long gone sun, with a somewhat distant look in his eyes. "Do you think we'll ever stop enjoying the simple things like this?" Sometimes he wished he could just go back to being the naïve little boy who knew nothing of fighting and killing and wore that funny looking hat. He hated that hat so much.
The future boy didn't say anything to this; he just stared at the younger super saiyan with an intense look in his eyes. Truthfully despite the fact that the stare was unnerving knowing that Trunks' attention was focussed solely on him was comforting.
"Trust me I won't let you or this world turn out the way mine did, I promise. Besides even in my world you never stopped being a typical Son."
They both were looking directly into each other's eyes again, both refusing to look away. They both leaned in for what Gohan hoped would be a kiss but Mirai Trunks stopped short a few centimetres from Gohan's face and turned to his mouth close to the raven haired boy's ear and whispered.
"I think we should get you back home now, before Goku comes down hunting for you."
"Okay" He replied lamely, he mentally berated himself, of course they wouldn't kiss, Mirai Trunks just wants to protect him and not lose him like the last time.
A few hours later Gohan walked into the living room to see Mirai Trunks sound asleep. After he brought him home, he stayed for dinner (where Goku had another feeding frenzy apparently waiting for Gohan made him left him on the brink of starvation,) then for the night.
He looked so peaceful, the normally hard and strong face seemed to show a much more gentleness then it usually did, the sight was just so tempting. Gohan knew he shouldn't have but he leaned in close to the other demi but hesitated, did he really want his first real kiss to be like this? Where the person he was kissing not even conscious? The boy just took one look at the other and thought back to earlier that evening, it was worth it. To do it just once, feeling it once would be worth it.
So the boy leaned in some more and kissed the man beneath him. He thought for a second he saw Mirai Trunks' eyes open and the kiss being returned, but that couldn't be, the other demi was asleep, right? The boy quickly stopped kissing the other and quietly slipped out of the room.
He went to sleep smiling, he noticed Mirai's lips were really soft. He smirked, "Ha, I knew he was a heavy sleeper!"
:END DREAM:
Gohan woke up slowly, he just had one of the best night's sleep he'd had in a long time. That was one of his most treasured memories, and he definitely loved dreaming about it. He knew that Mirai probably didn't kiss back but hey a guy can dream can't he?
He hadn't had that dream in a long time, and he knew what triggered it. It was seeing Mirai again, he saw him in Trunks, well T.V.B. He knew that it wasn't really the same man he had a crush on all those years ago, the hair-cut, clothes and smooth scar less body was proof of that. He knew better but the longer he spent with T.V.B. the more he started to value the boy.
He had a girlfriend though, okay so their match-making wasn't exactly of his own free will but he made the commitment to Videl. Speaking of her, she was very pissed when Gohan finally got back to school, she kept on complaining to him for the rest of the day. Something about a really fast green and lavender blur that nearly ran her over. Gohan wasn't really worried; he knew that his girlfriend was just making a big deal out of nothing as usual. Besides what's green and lavender and fast enough to nearly run over "The Saiyaman 2?" Well aside from Piccolo.
Oh well it could be worse, this wasn't the first time this week he'd dreamt about Mirai, let's just say he woke up uncomfortably each time and the Son family residence shower has been running cold non stop. Hey at least he saved the hot water for Goten right?
T.V.B. has been in this timeline for about two weeks now, and everyone has adapted to the change pretty quickly. Gohan almost couldn't believe that this was happening; then again with his life not much surprised him anymore.
Trunks on the other hand is still very ecstatic about having cool new "Oniichan." (T.V.B. made him stop calling him Oniisan, it made him feel old.) Trunks said something about there being no threat from him so he's welcomed him with welcomed arms.
Unfortunately this meant the there were now two of them, which was definitely a bad thing for Gohan. Tutoring one lazy eight year old was enough, but having a cute eighteen year old with the mind of and eight year old around just made things worse. Especially since they both insisted that they eat some sort of ice cream or popsicle every day after the tutoring session, this has caused even more cold showers for Gohan when he got home. Yay more hot water for everyone else.
