"Oh my God they are so loud!"
So loud in fact that Truten nearly missed his cell phone going off on his dresser.'Some one better have a damned good reason for calling me before sunrise as under normal circumstances I would be sleeping'
"What!"
"Oh that was nice of you- you know you would think that you would be a little more considerate considering I know you don't want me to say stand at the top of a tall building and shout your secret to the world."
"You know you always make me regret telling you-"
"I am as always just kidding Truten."
"Yes I know but you shouldn't torture me like that, your the only person I have ever trusted enough to tell."
There was silence on the line for a while before the other boy mumbled his apology, "I'm sorry. Real sorry, especially now as I have to ask a favor."
"Anything."
"Can I come stay with you for a while? My parents are going at it again."
A smirk now shown on Truten's lips, "Well if that is what you are trying to get away from I am afraid that you will be sadly disappointed as my parents also are going at it."
"Oh my god Goten and Trunks are fighting too!"
"Uh no. Actually they are screwing. Come on over."
"Thanks."
"Oh wait a second Seiji, I should tell you in case you see before I get a chance."
"Oh boy this sounds interesting."
"Uh yeah my life has gotten kind of crazier here recently."
"Crazier than aliens from other planets and male pregnancies Truten?"
"Well no if you look at it that way. Oh yeah and speaking of that, guess who's pregnant?"
Another bout of silence.
"Please God Truten tell me it isn't you!"
"WHAT! OF COURSE NOT!"
"Oh jeez don't do that to me buddy I thought for a minute I missed some thing!"
(A Note: SO that's where I would normally end the chapter but I here recently decided that as a reader I loathe short chapters. So I'll just keep going if that's ok!)
"Just come over Seiji."
"Right on my way."
Truten rolled over on his bead and stared at the figure in his doorway.
"So how long?"
"Papa I really don't want to have this conversation right now- wait. Shouldn't you still be in your room- doing only GOD knows what?"
"Ah I have to be gentel with your dad right now-"
"Wait, stop I really don't want to hear about it please forget I asked."
"Right." Goten said "We were in the middle of talking about you anyway."
'Damn it he didn't forget- how the hell am I supposed to get out of this one.'
"So how long?" Goten repeated his first question.
"What?"
"How long?"
"How long what papa?"
"Oh I don't know how long ago did you tell him, how long have you been in love with your best friend?"
"Look it's complicated."
"How so? Look son if any one would understand I think it would be me and your dad."
"I know alright? But it's not like that- we're not you! He is the only one of my friends who I have ever shared well- any thing with. He knows every thing about me- it felt so good just to tell some one who was on the outside of it all you know? Yes I love Seiji more than I thought possible but am I in love with him? I have no idea- and it doesn't even matter we both still have so much we have to work through on our own first."
Goten just stood there. He knew exactly what his son was going through- but was that some thing you could help another person through? He thought that it would probably be better to just let and individual go through it on their own. So instead he just nodded and closed the door behind him on the way out.
"Oh son, if you could only understand. That's where it comes from."
"What was that?" Trunks asked in passing on his way to the kitchen.
"Let's talk about it over breakfast." And with that Goten grabbed Trunks and lead him down to the kitchen arm around Trunks' shoulders.
