Chapter 5

"The hatred you're carrying is a live coal in your heart-far more damaging to yourself then to them."

-Lawana Blackwell

'I can't believe it! Of all people...Goten has an eating disorder! No way is this some kind of sick and maniacle joke or something? It has to be, I mean I've seen people die of eating disorders. Does Chibi think he's fat?'

Trunks paced his room the month after his reunion with Goten. He was so happy to finally see him again, and Goten was wearing the necklace he gave him too when he saw him, proof that he missed him as much and Trunks missed the younger Saiyan. Well, it's been a month since he last saw Goten. He couldn't visit him sooner, he wished he could've, but Trunks had super hard mid-terms coming up and needed to study. Goten understood and said that they would hang together after the testing.Trunks agreed, though it was hard to concentrate on the test, all he could think about was Goten.

The words just keep repeating inside his head...

" Trunks I have something to tell you...something...disturbing..."

Trunks looked Goten in the eyes," You can tell me anything Chibi."

"Well ya' see, I haven't been such a good person ever since my Dad ditched us. Ya' know how some kids do drugs, cut themselves, and even run away to forget thier problems?"

"Uh huh?" Trunks was starting to get worried now.

" I-I...Trunks, I-"

"What Chibi? What? It's ok to tell me, please trust me," Trunks assured him.

"ImakemyselfthrowupwhenI'mupset!Pleaseforgiveme,I'msorry!"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE...it can't be true!" Trunks shook his head at the memory. At first when Goten admitted it to him, he had promised to not tell anyone, "Why did I promise him?" But now he was regretting it. But Goten did say he wasn't going to do it anymore, right?

"I guess I'm just gonna have to watch over him more..."

"AHHHH!" A scream pierced the air from downstairs.

Vegeta and Trunks smashed into eachother in the hallway and they ran downstairs to search for the source of the scream, "Woman! Who's attacking!"

"Mother is everything...alright?"

"AHHHH...HAHAHA, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! LOOK HOW MUCH YOU'VE GROWN! OH MY GOODNESS GOTEN, FOR A MINUTE THERE I THOUGHT I WAS STARING AT YOUR FATHER!" Goten winced at the mention of...him and being compared to the man.

"Hi Bulma, nice to see you again," Goten greeted.

"What's with all the formalities! I changed your diapers for the love of Kami, come here and give me a hug!" Bulma grabbed Goten's arm and dragged him into the tightest hug she could ever muster, his spine felt like it was going to snap in two.

"B-Bulma! You're hurting..me...can't breath..need..air!" Bulma finally released him and just beamed with happiness, she clapped her hands together twice and three serve-bots came scooting out, "Now you three I need you to prepare a few snacks for Goten, chop chop!"

Goten blushed at the sudden attention, "Bulma, please you don't have to really, I don't wanna impose-"

"Nonsense Goten, it's been years! Besides it looks to me I need to put some meat on your bones! Just look how thin you are! Vegeta, doesn't he look thin to you!"

"Leave the damn boy alone women...if he wishes to be scrawny and weak leave him be..." Goten grew redder at Bulma's notice of his drastically low wieght.

"But Vegeta, it's Goten," Bulma pinched Goten's right cheek until it turned crimson and matted his hair, "Little Goten-chan, still as cute as ever, I bet the girls at school just gush over you, cutie!"

"Mom!

"Yes dear?" Bulma asked innocently, still grinning like an idiot.

"Let go! You're embarrassing Chibi!" Bulma let go of Goten's cheek, he rubbed it furiously, trying to ease the sting of her pinches.

"Oh, I haven't heard you call Goten 'Chibi' in almost what...nine years? It just soothes me to know that your friendship with Goten is still so strong after all this time," The women leaned into Goten's ear and whispered, "To tell you the truth, Trunks doesn't have many friends, he's just like his Father, scaring them away..."

"Damn it Mother!"

Just then the serve-bots came rolling in with trays of VERY large Super Saiyan sized club sandwiches, potato chips, bowles mixed nuts, sodas and some sweets for dessert. Chocolate chip cookies and vanilla swirls ice cream.

"Aww, Bulma ya' remembered!" Goten hugged Bulma, knowing that she remembered his favorite lunch and snacks from when he was a child.

'Oh! Now you don't mind hugging her when she gives you food, huh Chibi?Typical.'

"Ok then I'll you men to talk amongst yourselves!" Bulma began walking to her lab.

"And what about me Bul!"

"ChiChi!" Bulma and ChiChi embraced and squealed as they greeted each other, "ChiChi you look great!"

"You too...sorry it me forever to get here, but Goten flies faster than Nimbus!"

"Sorry Mom!" Goten apologized.

"So Chi...tell me everything that has happened..." The two women wondered off somewhere and told about thier lives, about Gohan and Videl, Goku leaving with Uub and Goten and Trunks' trouble in school.

"That..was...sooo embarrassing!" Goten covered his face with his hands and shook his head. Trunks elbowed Goten in the ribs playfully, "Yeah? Try living with her, she can be a bitch."

"Boy, watch your mouth," Scolded Vegeta, "And yes, she can be a bitch."

The two boys doubled over in laughter at Vegeta's sudden admitance of Bulma's bitchiness as he proceeded to walk to the GR, "Hmph! Brats!"

O...O

"So Goten, why the sudden visit?"

"What you ain't happy to see your BEST friend in the whole wide world!" Goten mocked.

"You're such a wierdo!" Trunks pulled Goten into a mega-noogie and mussed his hair even more. "Hey Trunks-kun!"

Goten then eyed the food and began gorging them down, Trunks noticed that even for him it seemed a little rushed. It was as if he didn't breath as he ate, but Trunks shrugged it off as nothing and joined him.

:In Trunks' Room:

"Jump Trunks, jump! Higher, he's gonna get ya'! Faster!"

"Shut up Chibi, man I can't concentrate with you hovering over me and screaming in my damn ear!" Trunks' thumbs speeded across the game controller, as he played Goten's favorite childhood game, Kingdom Hearts.

"Take that Heartless!"

"Yeah Trunks, use that sword of yours, whack 'em back to next week!"

"Yes! Next level!" Trunks cheered. Goten then swiped the controller from Trunks' unsuspecting hand, "My turn!"

"Hey!" Goten plopped next to Trunks as his player walked into Tarzan's Tree House, then suddenly a leopard jumped out of no where, "Holy shit, where he come from!"

"Get 'em Goten, get 'em!"

"Goten pressed the controls to make the sword swing, "Wow he's quite the jumper, huh Trunks!"

"Almost got him Goten!"

Then Goten's player companion, Donald lost all his life power, "Hey Trunks, is it just me or does Donald like, always die?"

"Well, he doen't really die, but yeah he does... I thought I was the only one who thought that, oooh Chibi he's behind you!" Trunks pointed out. Goten stuck his tongue out out of concentration and swung the sword one last time. The leopard ran of into the forest.

"Oh yeah, who da man! Who da man! Uh huh! Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh! Goten gloated in glory. Trunks shook his head as Goten did his little 'Touch Down' dance.

"Down boy, down, it was only ONE leopard,"Trunks said.

"Hey I ain't a dog, anywho I still rock!" Goten flopped onto the bed laughing like a moron, his head cradled in Trunks' pillow. 'Hey, this smells kinda good...'

"You're such a kid..." Trunks saved the game on the memory card and turned off the Play Station and sat on the floor with his back against the wall, facing Goten. He had his eyes closed. ' Should I ask him now? I don't wanna anger him though, he looks so happy now.'

Goten seemed to be...sleeping? "Uh, Goten...Goten? Goten!"

"Wha!" Goten fell off the bed and onto the floor, he rubbed his head, "Ouch..."

"Baka..." Trunks helped Goten up as he held out his hand," Come on, get up Chibi."

"Thanks." Goten grasped Trunks hand and lifted up.

"Wha-!" Trunks didn't notice that he was standing on a pink roller skate and began to fall forward, "Woah!"

"Watch out!" Goten screamed, "Oof!" Trunks fell atop of the smaller Saiyan, crushing his almost skeletal body with his much larger one.

'Wow, he really is thin! Chibi what are you doing to yourself?'

"Uh...Trunks...can you...get...off..." Goten gasped for air, Trunks chest almost completly covered his and part of his face. Trunks looked down and sweat dropped out of embarressment, he noticed that Goten's face was turning a light pink.

'Is he...blushing?' Trunks asked himself.

"Oh, sorry Buddy..." Trunks rolled off of Goten who was struggling to breath and panting as he sweated on his brow. "Goten, are you ok?" Trunks kneeled next to Goten.

Goten rose up and smiled weakly at Trunks, "I'm fine Trunks really. You just knocked the air outta me, that's all, I haven't been training like I'm supposed to..." Goten smiled even larger at Trunks.

"Ok then, if you say so..."

Goten flopped onto the bed once more and folded his arms under his head. He glanced at Trunks who looked unsure about something, "Somethin' on ya' mind Trunk-kun?"

'Well, here it goes...'

"Yeah Chibi, actually I do have something to discuss with...about you," Trunks sat next to Goten on the bed who was pushed up against the head board. " Goten, I know we said not to talk about it, but I have to...if we don't then I don't think being together is a good idea."

Goten looked like he was scolded by his mother," But Trunks-kun?Are you serious?" He let his head fall,"Ok we'll talk.What is it, with me, something ABOUT me?"

"Yeah, remember what you told me a month ago?"

Goten nodded, knowing exactly what Trunks was talking about, "Um, yeah."

"Well, ever since then, I've been worried about you, that kind of thing can kill you, I've been so scared that something horrible might happen to your body or worse. This is a disease Goten, did you know that? A disease! Most people can't cure this on thier own, I just...wanna know if you really are not doing this anymore, or were you trying to save your hide?" Trunks looked deeply into Goten's downcast eyes. "Plus, you look so...fragile."

Goten looked up at what Trunks just said and grinned softly. He went up to Trunks and ringed his arms around Trunks strong neck.

"Trunks! Seriously I'm fine, you saw me eat and everything, I'm fine. No need to worry, you can trust me!" Goten beamed.

Trunks smiled, finally convinced Goten was getting better, "Ok, I just wanted to talk about it, you know?"

"Yeah, I got it."

"TRUNKS CAN YOU HELP ME A BIT IN THE LAB!" Bulma yelled from her lab.

"BUT MOM!"

"NO WHINING, GET DOWN HERE NOW! IT WON'T TAKE LONG!"

"FINE!"

"Sorry Goten, I'll be back soon..." Trunks leaned down for a sweet taste of Goten's lips, dragging his tongue over them. Goten giggled like it tickeled.

"Kay..." Goten waved as Trunks closed the door.

"I'll be just...fine..." Goten got off the bed and went into Trunks' bathroom and locked the door. He turned on the light as he held his hair back, while he disposed the very large lunch he just ate that afternoon.

Please review! I know, this is wierd, but remember this ANGST. Ok that's it...bye.
