Goten woke up the next morning to a hospital room. Sighing in relief that he was far away from earth he smiled. He felt more relaxed as he sat up in bed, removing everything that connected him to machines. Swinging his legs over the side of the bed, he stood up on the tiled floor and started walking around, getting his muscles working.

As soon as he was confident he could walk efficiently, he looked around for some clothes when he spotted the ones he was wearing when he got to this planet all-clean. Using the shower in the room he washed his body when a memory of Trunks came to mind. Then guilt filled him once again. 'Ma—maybe it's better this way. He can move on and find someone more deserving of his love.' But deep down he knew it didn't feel right to think this way.

Putting on his fresh clothes he decided to leave his shirt off since the day felt hot. Sitting back down on the bed, he suddenly felt starving. 'That's right I've been in a coma for a few days. Nothing but feeding tubs.' Standing up he felt a little woozy and almost fell down until someone caught him and helped him to the bed.

"Baba."

"Welcome back Goten, how are you feeling?"

"Dizzy and hungry but otherwise I feel fine. How are you here?"

"This is the planet I go to on vacation."

Goten smiled. "I can see why it's so beautiful here. Maybe I'll stay here to."

"What about all you have back on earth?"

"They'd be better off not knowing where I was."

"I have a lot of life experience Goten, and I can say running away from your problems is not going to solve anything."

"I know Baba, but I can stay here for a while until things blow over."

"Listen to me there's something you need to know."

"What is it Baba?"

Before she could answer him, Goten heard his name and a body in his arms that filled his eyes with water. "Un—uncle Goten you—you're ok." He felt her tears on his bare shoulder and held her close.

"It's good to see your face Pan but just out of curiosity, are you here by yourself?"

"Turn around," said a familiar voice that sent chills down his spine.

Goten turned around to see Trunks, Gohan, and—"Father?"

"Hey Goten," said Goku as he slowly walked towards his youngest son as Pan made her way to her father.

Goku was ready to take full responsibility for leaving him and their family behind but didn't get the chance as he felt his son crying in his arms. Holding him tight, he felt everything Goten had been keeping inside for so long.

"I—I missed you so much dad. Why didn't you come home sooner?"

"Because I'm an idiot but I'm scheduled to go back to earth at the end of the week. We can all go back together."

Goten separated from his father and backed away. "I'm not going back right away dad. I need some time away from earth."

"If you're staying for a while, I'm not going anywhere," said Trunks as he walked up to the two. "You can't get rid of me I'm afraid." Trunks smiled at his boyfriend as Goten held him close.

"You two need some time alone together," said Baba as she led the others out of the room, closing the door behind them.

"Finally," said Trunks as he kissed his boyfriend passionately on the lips, pressing him up against the wall, grinding their bodies together as they groaned.

"Yo—you," he felt Trunks' kisses down his neck, "really missed me huh Trunks?"

"Kami you have no idea," said Trunks as he grazed the sensitive skin of his neck with his teeth, making his chibi whimper until he sunk his teeth into his neck, drawing blood from his boyfriend.

While he licked up the wound he had created with his tongue, Goten's eyes dilated, and he started breathing heavily, craving even more contact from Trunks as he brought his hands around his waist, pulling Trunks against him, rubbing their closed arousals together.

"Go—Goten!" Trunks breathed out as his boyfriend moved up against him faster and harder as he roughly kissed Trunks on the lips, which Trunks eagerly returned.

Goten stopped abruptly and dug his teeth into the nape of Trunks' neck and moved his mouth around the bite mark he made, sucking the remaining dripping blood. When he pulled away, Trunks watched as his tongue licked up the blood on the corner of his mouth.

Trunks was ready to take the next step with Goten until he had trouble standing up. Trunks caught him before he fell to the ground. "Chibi, what's wrong?"

"I haven't had real food since I've been in a coma."

"Well then we better get you fed. You got be starving," Trunks said as Goten's stomach rumbled. They both laughed as Trunks helped him out of the hospital room, down the hall, and out the door towards Goku's capsule.

Trunks knocked on the door, and Goku was happy to seem they both happy together. Everyone watched as Goten ate like never before. He was so hungry that he bit his finger a few times.

"Ow!" yelled Goten.

Goku laughed. "Careful son you don't want to bite your finger off."

Gohan noticed a mark on his brother's neck and wondered how it got there. "Hey Goten, how did you get that wound on your neck?" asked his brother.

"It's not a wound Gohan," said Trunks. "I marked him as my mate. It's a part of saiyan bonding." He pulled away his shirt to show him a twin mark on his neck. "He marked me to."

"So Vegeta has been teaching you about Saiyan History," said Goku.

"He made it clear he would ever since I was able to understand," said Trunks. "So at this point Goten and I can speak telepathically with each other."

"That's so cool," said Goten and Pan at the same time. They both laughed.

Trunks smiled and all of a sudden he could feel his boyfriend's happiness flow through him. 'Wow! That's amazing. I never felt like this before.'

'Hey Trunks I can hear you.'

'You're right chibi this is cool.' He smirked. 'Now I can say anything I want to you without having to worry if it's appropriate or not.'

Goten was blushing so hard he got a nosebleed. 'Stupid telepathy.'

'Come on you love it and you know it.'

The evening was peaceful as Trunks sat by the river with Goten sitting up against his back sleeping. He watched his boyfriend for a while until he saw Goku and Gohan standing in the water with Pan. They were fishing for fish with their hands as Pan mimicked their actions.

"Ok Pan now just be still, patient, and," Goku brought out a fish from the water, "there we are."

"Wow grandpa. That's great but I'm not very patient."

Gohan laughed. "Yeah we know," he said as Pan splashed him. "Hey!"

Trunks laughed. "Serves you right Gohan," he said.

Suddenly Goku and Gohan looked at each other with a mischievous glint in their eyes and knew this wasn't a good thing for him. Pan knew this to. "What are you two up to?" she asked.

"Hey Trunks, dodge the fish." Goku threw a fish Trunks' way as he dodged it with his sleeping boyfriend still in his arms.

"Nice try Goku but you missed." Trunks smirked proudly.

"How about two fish Trunks?" asked Gohan.

"Bring it on I can take anything you dish out at me."

"Whatever you say," said Goku.

They started chucking fish his way as Trunks dodge one after the other by a mere hair with Goten still asleep in his arms. Trunks was trying his best not to get distracted by the cute saiyan in his arms, whose face was so serene and beautiful that he kissed him on the cheek while still dodging fish.

"You have to admit he's a great at multitasking grandpa, dad," said Pan.

"Thanks Pan. At least someone's on my side."

"How long do you think you can keep this up Trunks?" asked Gohan.

"All day if I have to." He smiled confidently.

"You think so, huh," said Goku.

"Without a doubt," said Trunks.

"Ok how about this grandpa and dad keep throwing fish at you all day but if you fall, you lose," said Pan.

"Sounds good to me. Goku, Gohan, are you in?" The father and son nodded together. Trunks smirked. "Then lets get started." Trunks smirked.

It was nightfall, and Trunks was becoming tired as he dodged the fish. Looking at his watch, it was almost midnight and then he would be free. He looked down at his still sleeping boyfriend. 'Come on Goten give me strength.'

'You got it Trunks.' Goten concentrated in giving Trunks some of his power .

Trunks could feel the new found strength flow through him like Goten's happiness had done moments ago. Trunks felt the power wash over him, make him whole and re-energized.

"Hey! That's no fair," said Goku.

"The rules didn't state anything about not drawing from other energies," said Trunks as he looked at his clock. It was midnight. "I believe I won." He smiled and then looked down at his awoken boyfriend who was also smiling. "Thanks chibi," he kissed him on the forehead, "couldn't have done it without you." He walked with Goten inside the capsule home, leaving Goku and Gohan sore losers with Pan.

"Better luck next time guys," she said as she followed the boys inside.
