Part 3
Disclaimer: I do not own the song nobody knows. I do not own the idea Dragon ball Z.
Warning: This story contains relationships of a homosexual nature (slash).
The nights are lonely
The days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about
The love that we had
And I'm missin' you
And nobody knows it but me
"So where're we goin' today Trunks?" Goten yells from down the hall.
"I'm not sure yet," Trunks replies in a soft meaningful tone. This is Trunk's 'not in front of them' voice.
I feel Gohan's and Chi-chi's attention go straight to the boys as I pour another bowl of oatey O's.
They don't want us to know what they're doing, this is nothing new. It's been happening a lot lately, which is always unnerving. I've got nothing better to do today, I may follow. Just to make sure it's nothing too dangerous.
"How long will you be gone?" Chi-chi asked while beginning to clear the table. It's a good thing she's here to help me ask the questions. It's not that I don't care what our sons do, well it is that a little bit. And it's not that I just have the every flowing fountain of trust for my sons, it couldn't be further from the truth when it comes to Goten. Maybe it's just I can never time the 'trusting but still interested in your life innocently' parenting questions right. Or the fact that if I really wanted to it would be east to sneak up on them.
"Well we were planning on spending the day out," Trunks said shakily to Chi-chi. Trunks hasn't really been normal around Chi-chi since he heard one of her and Gohan's arguments. It was a few weeks after the farewell party incident. I'm not sure whether Trunks thought she was screaming about him being a trashy brainwashing slut or his other self. He was only outside for a couple of minutes before he flew off. Goten probably explained it to him anyway. He took it the hardest during the fights, usually 'running away' to Trunk's or crying by the laundry room.
"Would you like something to eat, Hun? We have some more cereal of I could make you some eggs?" Chi-chi says sweetly to Trunks while giving me a narrowed eye look and saying 'you' very sharply, meaning she wont make me any eggs. Too bad, eggs sound good.
One thing I always found odd was Chi-chi never blaming Trunks. She thought his other self was the devil with lavender hair, but I never heard one word against him. I thought for sure she'd want Goten to never see him again, but she never said a word about it.
"No thanks, I've had breakfast already," Trunks' awkwardly cheerful reply reaches my ears. Maybe it was because of Goten. He can be so emotional at times. He practically dropped out of school, and still runs away if she yells too much. A bad word against Trunks might make him stop eating again. He went nearly a week last time.
"Are you sure? You look thin, you're always welcome here at supper."
"Thanks," Trunks say thru a small smile, at least it looks genuine.
"Goten! I'm sure he has better things to do than wait on you all day!" Gohan yells while giving Trunks a smile.
Trunks' whole body seems to seize up and the blush appears instantly on his young face. I can see the amusement dancing in my eldest sons eyes, and I hear Trunks swallow rather loudly.
"I'm almost finished anyway." Goten's reply sounds closer. He emerges from the hall dressed in khakis and a loose fitting white T-shirt. He's gotten a lot slimmer lately, or maybe it just looks that way because he stopped training.
He picks up a nearby glass of orange juice and takes a drink. A look of disgust washes over his face as he hurriedly swallows. He always forgets after he brushes his teeth. Chi-chi rolls her eyes used to his absentminded behavior.
"You're not going too far? I want you home for supper," Chi-chi asks while giving him a searching stare.
"I'll be here," Goten says while motioning Trunks toward the door.
"Be safe," Chi-chi calls after them.
"I think you should follow them," she adds to me.
Authors note: It's a short chapter, but another one at least. I remember having a lot of fun while writing this part, I'm glad it finally made it up. Thanks to everyone who reviewed chapter 2 of Nobody Knows. Special thanks to Goku's Angel! My Apologies for never updating, I'm hoping to change that. I also have another fic up, Oasis for anyone who's an HP fan. Please review.
