A/N: Yes, there is a wee bit of underage teenage drinking in this chapter…that explains why Trunks and Goten are a bit emotional than normal.
I love all comments! Much appreciated.
There was one thing Trunks loved about Goten's room. It was an outside sleep out. He had all the privacy and space he needed away from his parents. Trunks saw the curtains drawn and the light still on in Goten's window, flying around the corner he stopped and tapped gently on the white door and waited for Goten to notice. Goten opened his door and just stood there in shock watching Trunks in his tee shirt and Mickey Mouse boxers.
"Well, aren't you going to let me in?"
"Trunks, what are you doing here? Its past midnight!" Goten confused as to why Trunks was here at this time but moved away from the door to let his friend in.
"I was going to serenade you, what did you think I was doing?" Trunks said sarcastically, while walking through the door and closing it behind him.
"I gather you never went to the after party, your remarkably sober" Goten walked over and sat on his bed where his wrestling magazine he was reading lay. Trunks grabbed the nearest chair and put his bag down on the floor and took off his CC jacket.
"Yeah, I kinda got on the wrong side of Jason after you left, I think he said he was going to deck me at the after party"
Goten gave a shocked look "You turned down that challenge?"
Trunks sighed and ran a hand through his shoulder-length lavender hair. "Well it wasn't worth it, Jason would of hit the floor with his drinking anyway…and talking drinking Chibi…" he unzipped his shoulder bag showing Goten, its contents of 4 bottles, two of bourbon and two of coke, while smirking.
Goten grinned and got up, moving to his door. "I'll go get the munchies and you can nick some of my clothes and change, you look too much like a penguin" Goten said staring at Trunks's tux.
Trunks looked around Goten's semi-clean room after Goten had left. It was small but roomy. Creamy coloured walls, with various posters of Goten's favourite guy bands. Dark navy blue carpet with the same coloured curtains. Soft yellow duvet on the bed. Clothes piled on the floor in the other corner of the room and beside that was a mountain of schoolbooks and papers pied on his desk. Goten never was one for studying even though his mother Chichi tried to in force it on him. Goten just wasn't Gohan no matter how Chichi hoped he would be.
He went into one of Goten's chest of draws and found a white shirt with the initials CC, that was one of his. Goten must of borrowed and typically not given it back and got changed before Goten returned.
After having finishing quite a few rounds of drinking games, a few laughs and eating there way into two large bags of crisps, chocolate chip cookies and various bags of candy. Trunks found a great opportunity to get Goten to open up.
"Wanna play another game?" Trunks lay beside Goten propped up with pillows on the end of bed.
"What sorta game?"
"…Truth or dare?"
"Okay" Goten smiled, Trunks definitely liked "dares"
"Truth or dare?" Trunks repeated.
"Truth"
"Damn, you are always taking truth! Okay…Why did you leave the dance so early?" The question had played on his mind all night and was pleased to be able to bring it up.
"I just got sick of it" Goten said while eating some potato chips
"Sick of what?"
"Just boring that was all"
"Wasn't cause of me?"
"No.--Truth or Dare?" Goten interrupted, reaching for a chocolate chip cookie.
"Truth"
"Why did you come over?"
"Cause you were upset" Trunks said, as if stating the obvious.
"I wasn't okay!"
"Then why are you being so defensive then?" He challenged while reaching for some snacks.
"You wouldn't understand. I can't tell you. I am going to get another drink." Goten said got ready to move as he said more than he should.
Trunks pulled Goten gently by the arm to face him.
"C'mon 'Ten. You can tell me"
"I can't Tru. I don't want you to hate me" Goten said in despair, the affects of alcohol was already getting to him.
"I am your best-friend! Since when do we keep secrets from each other?" Trunks let go of Goten's arm he was still holding on to.
"This is different. If I tell you. You won't ever want to be my friend!" Goten moved off the bed out of Trunks's reach.
"Try me"
"I can't" Goten sat on the floor hunched.
"Goten, what is it? Come on tell me." Trunks got off the bed and sat next to him.
Goten sighed and decided to tell Trunks.
"Promise me, you won't tell anyone? Even if you don't like what I say to you. Even if you hate me forever, Okay?"
"I promise"
"I… don't know how to tell you…. Look, I don't even know how it started but…. I think I have a crush on….". Goten swallowed hard and couldn't voice the rest.
"A crush on who?" Trunks asked, trying to coax Goten into finish his sentence.
TBC… How will Trunks react to Goten's secret crush?
A/N: Everyone must have worked out who Goten has a crush on. Please refrain from using those pointy sticks lol.
