Okay, so here's chapter 8. Oddly, I have nothing else to add.

Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or any of its characters. If I did, then things would be, well, different, now wouldn't they?

Other End

Goten's P.O.V.

'God, what's up with Trunks? One minute he's all excited to see me and the next he's practically kicking me out.'

I had been having thoughts along these lines for hours now, turning it over and over trying to make sense of it. So far, nothing. I was flying home slowly… along the scenic route… on the other side of the world. It had taken me until I got to Germany to realize that I wasn't wearing any clothes, but I didn't care. Strangely, all I cared about was, well, Trunks. I wanted to spend every waking minute with him, wanted him to hold me in his arms, to tell me he, well, you get the picture. I needed to talk to someone I could trust. Of course, ever since dad went off to train Uub we'd lost contact, and Trunks was out of the picture altogether for what I hope are obvious reasons. So I guess Gohan would be the one I talk to.

'Yeah he'll understand. I can always trust him with this stuff.'

"Hey, Gohan, you home?"

"Hey, Goten, what's up?"

"Umm… before I tell you, is anyone home?"

"No just me. Pan and Videl are at the mall. Why do you ask?"

"Well, there's something I want to tell you. I found something out today, about myself. I need to tell someone about it, but I don't want everyone to know, not yet anyways. Promise me you'll keep this to yourself."

"Okay, easy enough. I promise. What is it?"

"Well, I umm…am…uhh…uh- -"

"Say it already, will ya!"

"I'M GAY. THERE, ARE YOU HAPPY."

"…Oh."

"Is that all you can say? 'Oh.'"

"Well, what happened to Valice?"

"She broke up with me."

"Oh."

"See, see, there's more of your 'oh' crap. And yes, she broke up with me yesterday."

"I see. So yesterday, Valice broke up with you, you found an excuse to go see Trunks, he comforted you, and you realized you like him."

"I never said anything about Trunks."

"Oh, my bad."

"Is it that obvious?"

"To me, yes. To most, no."

"What do you mean 'to most'?"

"Dad and Vegeta know as well."

"What? How?"

"They can sense it."

"So, you can sense it, too?"

"No, I'm just your big brother. These things are second-nature by now."

"Oh."

"Hah! You did it this time."

"Damn."

"Anyways, back on track, Goten, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Whoever you turn out to be is fine, I'll always be proud of you; unless you're like some psycho serial killer. Goten, I think you should tell him. If he's your friend, this kind of thing won't really matter to him. In fact, you might take it up a step.

"GOHAN."

"Just talk to him, okay?"

"God, I come here for advice and this is the crap you give. Thanks for nothing Gohan."

Goten flew off into the clear morning sky, and tears began to form in his eyes. He had looked for the one person he thought could comfort him, and he was only tormented further. His thoughts drifted from such innocent ones as these to much, much more terrible and violent things. It was the beginning of a long winding road known simply as love.

Goten- That was beautiful.

Kaiser- No, it's corny and bad. My writing blows.

Trunks- Yeah, you're right.

Kaiser- You know, you don't have to agree so quickly.

Trunks- Yeah but it felt so good to insult you for once.

Kaiser- I never insulted you. I was just opening your eyes to the truth.

Trunks- I like pie.

Kaiser- Not even gonna ask.

So how was it? Lame, boring, good, funny. I need to know these things, otherwise how can I change to suit you more. Stories are written for you the R&Rers so speak up. Oh and I've decided to cut the villain and the kids from this story and just do a sequel. I was writing it out and it all just got very confusing, sorry if that's what you were looking forward to. If it helps, cutting that off cuts the story in half so the sequel will arrive a lot earlier. And once more R&R.
