Ch 65

"Ch—chibi. Wake up!" screamed a frantic Trunks as he did everything in his power to wake up his bloody and bruised mate.

There was blood all over his hands, but he ignored it as his desperation took over. Exhausted and heart broken he couldn't look away from his mate who was not breathing anymore. 'He—he died by my hands. I don't deserve to live!" he cried in pain.

Dragging his mate's body into his arms, he held him close and cried until his throat went raw. It hurt to scream, so he just rocked Goten back and forth in his arms. "Yo—you were everything to me, and I destroyed you."

"Like father, like son Trunks."

Trunks looked up to see a monster from his father's nightmares. "Wh—why are you here? You have no business being here Frieza."

"Love is for the weak. You obviously got rid of him for a reason," said Frieza.

"No! Get out of my head you—my head. This is a dream."

"You're a lot smarter then your father. I'll give you that, but it doesn't mean that this won't come to pass someday."

"You're wrong!"

"Am I? It seems that your mate wasn't strong enough to handle you. It's because of this that he is dead."

"Stop talking! Just stop it!"

"Yes, all that rage can be put to good use. I couldn't control your father completely, but I see potential in you."

"What are you talking about? This isn't even real. You're long dead and have been that way for years now."

"Am I? Are you sure about that?"

"There's no way you're alive. I'm sure my father would have known. He's paranoid like that."

"See you soon Trunks."

"Trunks! TRUNKS!" yelled Goten as Trunks opened his eyes. "Oh thank god. Are you all right? I couldn't get you up. I—I think you were having a nightmare, and—

"You—you're alive," said Trunks as he held Goten in his arms.

"Yeah Trunks, we made it," Goten smiled. "That must have been some nightmare you had," he said as he rubbed Trunks' back. "Are you ok?" he asked as he pulled away from Trunks.

"I'm so relieved," Trunks smiled.

"Good, because I think you have work in an hour."

"Oh," he said in disappointment.

Goten could see Trunks was still reeling from his nightmare and wanted to distract him. "Hey Trunks, I was thinking we could shower together to save tim—AH!" he screamed as Trunks took him in his arms and ran to the bathroom.

Dropping Goten on his feet in the shower, Trunks joined him and turned on the water. He wasted no time in bringing Goten's body against his. Trunks smiled. "You know I remember everything we did last night. It's a nice feeling."

Goten blushed. "It was but maybe we should get ready for work. I don't mean to be a downer."

"It's ok chibi," he smiled. "One of us has to be responsible."

They made out heavily for a while until Goten made him wash his hair and body. It was a pleasurable experience for him and was very relaxing at the same time. Goten returned the favor and washed his mate.

In the bedroom once again, Trunks couldn't keep his hands off Goten's wet and naked body as he kissed him hungrily and knocked him on his back on the bed. Moving on top of him, Trunks smirked.

"Oh no Trunks, we don't have time for this. We'll both be late for work."

"You worry too much chibi," Trunks said as he kissed him.

"I love you so much Trunks but if I'm late for work, Videl will have my head. I don't want to get in trouble."

Trunks smirked. "Now where have I hard that before?"

"Tonight we can continue this but right now I need to get dressed."

Trunks sighed. "All right fine you win," he said as he got off his mate and headed to the closet. "Don't tell my dad I said that."

Goten laughed. "I promise, and I promise you can do whatever you want to me tonight."

"You sure know how to make me happy chibi. I love you to Goten." He kissed Goten passionately on the lips.

Fresh and fully dressed Trunks and Goten went their separate ways to work.

Trunks had work to distract him from his nightmare but every time he had some free time, it all came rushing back to him. 'I wonder if I should tell father. Frieza couldn't be alive, could he?' he thought as a knock interrupted his thoughts. "Come in," Trunks announced.

"Your father was quite insistent," said his secretary.

"It's fine. Thank you," he said to his secretary as his father came into his office.

"I still think it's ludicrous to make an appointment to see my own son."

"It's procedure dad. So, what brings you by?" asked Trunks as he sat down at his desk.

"Besides the screaming heard from your home last night. Your mother thought something was wrong until I assured her your energies were not violent towards one another."

Trunks blushed. "Oh sorry about that. I knew I forgot to install the sound proof boards in the bedroom. So, was there something else?"

"Your energy felt quite chaotic in the morning. Was it a nightmare?"

"I don't know if it was a nightmare or something that will comes to pass."

"What is it son?"

"I killed Goten. As I was holding his bruised, battered, and dead body in my arms, I saw Frieza."

"What!"

"Father, are you sure he's dead? And why would he be in my nightmare?"

"What did he tell you Trunks?"

"That the death of my mate would come to pass someday by my hands. That love is for the weak, and my rage could be useful to him. He said he would be seeing me soon."

Vegeta close his eyes to concentrate on Frieza's energy. It was difficult, but he needed to know for sure if that monster was dead. If he didn't sense Frieza, then he was truly dead. 'There. No! It's to possible. How does that monster keep coming back to life.'

"Father?"

"Frieza's alive."

"Alive? No, that's not possible. Do you know where he is now?"

"You said he was coming to see you. He's coming to earth, and we must prepare. There's no time to waste Trunks. I'll let your mother know what's going on, and I'm sure she'll let everyone else know. You should go tell your mate and bring him home at once. We all need to train as soon as possible."

Trunks wrapped up things at Capsule Corporation and made his way to his mate's work. Walking into the bakery, Trunks could tell how busy it was but he was on a mission. As soon as his eyes met Goten's, who was working upfront today, he knew his mate meant business.

"What's going on Trunks?" asked Goten as he lead Trunks into the backroom.

"Is Videl here today to?" asked Trunks.

"I'm here everyday Trunks," she smiled. "What's going on?"

"Frieza's alive, and he's coming to earth. My dad is letting my mother know and by the time she knows, everyone else will know. We have to prepare to fight him. That's why I'm here. We don't know when he'll be here, so we need to train right now."

"Why do you think he's coming to earth?" asked Videl. "I mean from what Gohan told me he'd probably have a score to settle with Goku, and he's gone."

"We're what's left, and I'm sure taking out his friends and family would give that monster great satisfaction," said Trunks.

"Doesn't he have a long history with your dad Trunks?" asked Goten.

"All these questions aren't going to change the fact that he's coming. Goten we need to go now," said Trunks.

"This has to do with your nightmare, doesn't it?" asked Goten.

"Yes, and I'll catch you up later."

"All right you two go. I can handle the bakery," said Videl. "I'll let Gohan know what's going on."

"Thanks Videl," said Goten.

Landing in the backyard of the Briefs home, they saw Vegeta waiting for them at the GR and Uub was with him.

"I'm not about to tell you all how serious this is," said Vegeta. "You've heard about what Frieza is capable of from me. We may have to give this battle everything we have. Bulma has let everyone know what's going on. They are all preparing themselves as they should. We must as well."

Bulma watched her husband, son, Uub, and Goten enter the GR. Her heart sunk. She didn't know if she could stand to lose her family, but she was determined to help them in battle by making the best saiyan armor a warrior could wear. She would make sure they stayed safe in her own way. While it would distract her, it wouldn't stop her from worrying. She knew better then to ask them to stay and not fight. She knew what it would mean for the inhabitants of earth, death. Walking towards her lab, she asked her daughter and parents to join her in the lab. She just wanted to make sure they were safe.

"Well that was exhausting," said Trunks as he walked into his bedroom along with Goten. "I don't think I've ever been this sore and tired before." His eyes went to the bed, and he let himself fall face first onto the bed.

"Yeah," Goten smiled. "I forgot how good it feels to spar that hard," he said as he went into the bathroom.

Trunks turned his head on the bed to see Goten enter the bathroom. He groaned as he willed his tired body up and followed his mate into the bathroom. Hearing the shower running, Trunks removed his clothes and joined Goten in the shower. Trunks could feel his mate's uneasiness and smiled. "Don't worry I'm in here for a purely platonic shower. I'm too tired to ravish you."

Goten sighed. "That's good to know, but we can still wash each other if you want," he smiled.

Trunks smirked. "Sounds good to me."

They ended up lying on the floor of the shower in each other's embrace while the water poured down on them.

"Who knew it would be just exhausting to wash each other. I'm beat," said Goten as he felt his eyes starting too close.

"I know. My dad would think it's pretty pathetic, but we worked hard today. We deserve to rest."

"D—do you think you'll be able to stand up?"

"Why?" Trunks asked as he watched his mate get comfortable against his body. Trunks smiled and knew why.

"I don't think I can get up," Goten laughed.

"Don't worry I think I can muster up enough strength for the both of us chibi," he said as he untangled himself from his mate, turned off the shower, and picked up Goten.

Goten felt the mattress beneath his naked body and smiled. "Thanks Trunks I know I've probably over exhausted you for sure," he smiled tiredly as he pulled the blanket over them.

"Mm night chibi," Trunks said as he kissed Goten on the cheek, closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

"Night Trunks," Goten smiled as he closed his eyes and shifted his body so he had his back to Trunks.

Before Goten could slip into dream word, he felt Trunks' arm around his waist, and he smiled as Trunks managed up pull his body up against his. In this moment Goten felt content with Trunks. It reminded him of when they were kids and things were kind of simple. Goten sighed as he closed his once again. They had each other, but he wondered what this battle with Frieza would bring. Trunks had told him about his nightmare, and he was a little worried how it would effect Trunks going forward. He took one last look at his mate and went to sleep.
