Goten woke up in Trunks's bed in Trunks's arms. When he tried to move from his hold on him, Trunks only held him tighter with a smile on her face. "You're not getting away from me so easily chibi."

"Chibi?" He turned in Trunks's hold to face him. "You know we're not little anymore Trunks. You can stop calling me that."

"Oh I know we're not little anymore," he said into his ear, making his raven-haired boyfriend shiver, "but you'll always be my chibi." He kissed the side of his cheek as Goten kissed his lips.

Pulling his lips away from Trunks's, Goten smiled as he tried to get out of his boyfriend's embrace. "Trunks," he laughed, "you have to let me go eventually."

"Never," said Trunks as he pinned Goten under him.

"Bu—but I have to pee."

Trunks laughed as he let him go running to the bathroom. Lying back down on his bed, Trunks smiled and then his phone rang. Picking it up, he had no idea what he was in for on the other end of the line.

"I know he's there with you Trunks."

"Chichi." He sat up in his bed. "What are you talking about?"

"Hercule saw you leave the gym with my son. What have you done to him?"

'Nothing yet,' he smirked. "Nothing."

"I want to talk to him now." She demanded.

Trunks took the phone with him to the bathroom, where he heard the shower running. "Look he's kind of busy right now. We'll come over later and explain everything." He hung up before Chichi had the chance to yell at him.

"That was my mom wasn't it?" asked Goten as he peaked his head out of the shower curtain.

"Yeah and I think she knows about us because of Hercule. Anyway I told her we'd come by later to explain." Trunks walked out of the bathroom, grabbed his cell phone and called his mother.

"Trunks, what are you doing?" Trunks turned around to see his boyfriend sopping wet and wrapped in a towel.

"My family should be there to don't you think?"

"Yeah that would help a lot." Goten sat down on the bed as Trunks sat with him, talking to his mother.

"Meet us at Mount Pao in an hour."

"Sure sweetie this must be serious."

"It is. We'll see you later. Bye."

Trunks turned to see his boyfriend stretched out on his bed. He didn't know he subconsciously licked his lips until Goten pointed it out, making Trunks blush. "So the prince does blush," said the raven-haired man.

Trunks leaned down so his face was at his torso and smirked. "And so the chibi must scream."

Goten was breathing heavily by the end, and they hadn't even had sex yet. "Wo—wow! That was amazing. Yo—you're really talented with your mouth."

"What can I say it's a natural gift?" Trunks kissed him tenderly on the forehead before he sat up. "Now we should really get dressed and face the music."

"I love you Trunks." He kissed Trunks on the cheek.

Trunks and Goten landed near the Son home to see Vegeta outside, leaning up against a shaded tree with his arms crossed. His eyes went to the two half-breeds and smiled, which Trunks was surprised to see from his father.

"Father, what's going on?"

"You mean why am I not inside. Your mother and the harpy are screaming at each other. I'm surprised you couldn't hear them."

"Why are they arguing? We haven't even told them yet," said Goten.

"I guess congratulations is in order," said Vegeta.

"Wait! How did you know Vegeta?"

"I told my family I'm in love with you," said Trunks.

"It was only a matter of time before you two got together," said Vegeta.

"And you're ok with it?" asked Goten with some skepticism.

"I believe my son deserves to be happy don't you Goten?"

"Yes I do."

"I see the change in him that you caused for the better."

Goten smiled. "It means a lot to me that you think I can make Trunks happy, and it means a lot to me that you accept us. Thank you Vegeta."

"Trunks! Trunks!" He turned into the direction of his name to see his sister and Uub coming towards them.

"Bulla, what's wrong?"

"Chichi's crazy that's what's wrong. She started attacking mom. Thank kami Gohan and Videl were there to break it up before it went any further."

"Come on Trunks we have to get down there," said Goten.

"Just be careful you two and good luck," said Bulla.

Trunks and Goten cautiously made their way to the house to hear voices in the backyard. They walked around to the back to see Bulma, Videl, and Gohan talking when they spotted the two boys. Trunks came over to his mother.

"Mom, what happened you look like—?"

"She looks much worse then me. Your father's been training me."

"Ew mom that's—

"Not sex actual training Trunks."

"Oh," he said as Goten laughed.

Bulma's eyes suddenly turned to worry. "Bulma, what's wrong?" asked Goten.

"I—I never knew your mother could be so cruel. When I came over, she wasted no time telling me that my son was a bad influence on you. She told me to restrain my son towards his advances at you because all he wanted was one thing from you and then he'd be done with you. She wants to save you from Trunks."

"And then what happened?"

"I told her I would do no such thing and that she knows nothing about Trunks to make such crazy accusations. That's when she lunged at me. I was just defending myself and then your brother and Videl came into stop the fight." She sighed. "I'm so sorry Goten, and I want you to know I fought for you in there." She smiled. "You're family after all."

"Thank you Bulma." He hugged her before he went inside to talk to his mother. He was more frightened then he had ever been in his life, but he had to try and get through to her.

Goten only remembered the first thing he said to his mother, "I'm in love with Trunks," after all he heard was screaming on her end. He couldn't remember the words, but he did feel the hard slap to his cheek, his mother crying, and running up to her room, closing the door loudly, which jolted him back into reality.

The slap to his face didn't hurt but he felt deep inside he was by the words he couldn't remember his mother saying. The tears running down his face was another clue but when he searched for what part of the one-sided conversation from his mother, he couldn't bring himself to remember.

Suddenly he had the instinct to be alone to try and deal with what happened. Goten managed to calm himself down enough to close his eyes, concentrate on a location, and disappeared, swearing he heard Trunks telling him to stop but it was too late.

Appearing in a place he came to when he wanted to be alone, Goten hid his ki from anyone who would be looking for him. He stayed out of sight just in case someone happens to come by this area.

When he thought of Trunks, a feeling of guilt entered his body but he needed to be alone right now to try and figure out what his mother had said to him to hurt him. 'Why do I always black out when my mother yells? I need to remember but a part of me doesn't want to know.' He wiped the tears still running down his face, and he sighed in frustration. 'Well at least my body remembers. I just wish it would catch up to my mind quicker.'

The wind rushed by him and the view before him was a gray, cloudy sky. 'Great just my luck.' The rain hit hard, and he decided he couldn't stay out in the storm forever. 'It's time to go home.' As soon as he thought this, he broke down again, letting his body go through the motions. When he calmed, a pair of blue, piercing eyes came to mind. 'I know where home is. It's wherever you are Trunks.'

Trunks was looking out the window of his parent's home. He had been searching for his boyfriend for hours and then the storm had come pouring hard. His father had forcefully insisted he come inside. When he tried to sneak past him to try and find his boyfriend in the storm, his father stopped him.

Vegeta watched his son carefully as he stared out the window. He could practically feel his son's worry and nerves. "Trunks, you remember he is saiyan. He'll be all right."

"He's half human to dad, and he's in a fragile state right now. I don't want him to be alone right now."

"He'll come when he's ready son."

"How do you know—?" He sensed a weakened ki as he turned away from his father to his soaked boyfriend outside the sliding door, and he rushed outside, taking Goten in his arms. "Oh thank kami I was so worried." He pulled away to look into his boyfriend's eyes, which were red and puffy but the look in them was not sadness but something he couldn't define. It scared him because he was always able to read Goten very well, but he guessed his mother had did a number on him.

"Goten."

"So—so much yelling and I—I can't remember what she said to me." He looked frustrated. "I—I think my body knows but my mind won't tell me." He looked at Trunks with glassy eyes. "Trunks, I'm scared."

Trunks held him tightly, whispering comforting words in his ear.

Trunks knew he had work tomorrow, but it was late and he was still up in his mother's lab. A few hours before he had brought Goten of the rain and into his room to help him dry off and into bed. He finally understood what his boyfriend meant when he said his mind hadn't caught up to his body when Goten was able to shower, dress, and get into his bed all on his own. What really got to him is Goten never asked him to stay. He just turned off the light and drifted off.

Sitting in the lab he looked over the ship his mother had been repairing a few days before. 'Times seemed more simple in outer space. I knew what I was dealing with.' He sighed. 'But now…' He looked to the door. 'I don't know how I can fix this.'

Tears ran down his face and all he wanted to do was bring all the happiness to his boyfriend sleeping down the hall. He sat down, rubbed his temples, and was about to drift off until he heard a scream down the hall. "GOTEN!"

Rushing down the dark hall, Trunks opened the door to his childhood room to see his boyfriend sitting up in his bed, breathing heavily. His eyes immediately went to his blue-eyed boyfriend and then down to the bed. "I—I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake anybody."

"That doesn't matter," Trunks sat down beside him, "did you have a nightmare?" Trunks started to rub his back. It always used to calm him down when he had nightmares.

"You could say that. I think my dream is trying to tell me about what happened with my mom." He swallowed the lump in his throat, trying not to cry.

"You don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to,' Trunks said, putting his arm around him.

"I only got a part of it, but she said I can't fix what's all ready broken."

Trunks' heart went out to him. "You're not broken Goten." His voice and eyes matched in seriousness as he brought his hand to his cheek. "You—you are the most beautiful person I know. There's nothing wrong with who you are."

"She carried me Trunks, she raised me. Ho—how can she say so many horrible things to me? I'm her son."

"I don't know chibi." Tears came to his eyes again in helplessness. "All I know is everything she said to you out of anger is her problem. The way she feels has nothing to do with you."

Goten shifted in his arms to look at his boyfriend who was hurting for him. Trunks was always the strong one out of the two and to see him in this state broke his heart, but it also showed how vulnerable he could be.

Leaning his head on Trunks' chest, he couldn't help but smile as he nuzzled his way inside his warmth. "I love you Trunks. Please don't be sad for me."

"I love you to Goten, but that's what being in a relationship is all about. Leaning on each other, carrying the load of the other's in pain."

"You learn that in a book Mr. Brainiac?"

Trunks laughed. "No, my mom likes to tell me things about her and dad so I learn from real life experience."

"I hope some of those things haven't scarred you for life," Goten chuckled.

"Does walking in on your parents having sex count as being scarred?" Trunks smiled.

"Well you seem mentally stable to me considering so I think you'll live." Goten leaned in and kissed him on the lips. "Stay with me." Trunks nodded.
