It was the day of the party and Chi-chi and Videl were cooking like mad women. Everyone had arrived even Bulma who was feeling better. Vegeta made sure he kept a close eye on her. Bulla smiled at her father as she sensed Trunks land right beside her.

"Hey Trunks, looking sharp," said Krillin. "Is there a special someone you're trying to impress?"

Trunks blushed as his family smiled at him. "Thanks Krillin, I'm already embarrassed by my family on a daily basis."

"No problem buddy but seriously are you trying to impress someone? I mean I know my wife's been pushing our daughter on you pretty hard. Did you finally crack?"

"Sorry Krillin. I'm not interested in Marron."

"Oh thank kami. I'm not ready for her to get that serious yet."

Trunks smiled as he looked around for Goten. He didn't see him outside, so he headed towards his home. He came into the front door to see Chi-chi and Videl still cooking. They looked over at Trunks.

"Hey Trunks. Looking for Goten?" asked Videl.

"Yeah."

"He's in his room," said Chi-chi. "I swear that boy likes to sleep in. Wake him up will you Trunks?"

"Sure no problem."

Trunks opened the door to Goten's room, shutting it behind him. As soon as he turned around, he saw Goten sprawled all over his bed with no clothes on. The sheets of his bed only covered him. Trunks's face went red, but he managed to calm down. It was after all a hot day. He took off his shoes and socks and stood on the bed. He smirked as he started jumping up and down, but Goten wouldn't wake up. Suddenly, a grip on his leg tripped him, and he fell onto the bed right beside Goten who snuggled right up to Trunks and sighed. Trunks was finding it hard to breathe with Goten's bare thigh on him. He looked down at the milky white skin. His hands were tempted to run up and down the skin. He carefully picked up the sleeping saiyan in his arms, went into his bathroom, turned on the cold water, placed Goten in the tub and ran out as quickly as he could.

"Aaaaah cold aaaah cold." Goten jumped out of the tub still wrapped in his sheet and came out of the bathroom, glaring at Trunks.

"What? Your mom wanted me to wake you up. It's not my fault you're a heavy sleeper."

"Well there are other ways to wake me up you know."

"I'm not bringing food up to you Goten. I'm not your servant."

"Whatever." Goten took some clothes, entered the bathroom, and came out to notice Trunks was all dressed up. "Trying to impress my mother."

"Shut up Goten."

"No but seriously you look really nice."

"Thanks chibi."

"Hey Trunks. You smell good to."

"I don't wear cologne Goten."

"It must be your natural scent."

Trunks eyes widened, remembering what his father said about saiyan mating. "Oh no I'm in heat." Trunks said to himself. He was so concerned with his situation that he didn't notice Goten sniffing him on the side of his neck. When he came back to reality, he felt the warmth breath of Goten's mouth on his skin. Trunks closed his eyes for a moment by the time he realized what he was doing he snapped himself out of it. "Goten, would you stop sniffing me?"

"I'm sorry Trunks. It's just that you smell so good for some reason."

"I know why Goten, but you have to promise not to laugh."

"I promise."

"There's a certain time in a saiyan's life when they meet a person they're interested in bonding with. When that happens, the saiyan gives off their scent to the other saiyan letting them know they want to mate with them."

"So, you're in heat."

"Yes."

"And y-you're interested in me."

"I'm sorry Goten. It probably freaks you out but since you know I might as well tell you I'm in love with you. I'll understand if you just want to be friends."

"But wait, wont' you die if you don't mate."

"Yeah but it's ok. I just want to leave this planet knowing you'll be happy. Well we should probably head down stairs or else your mom will throw a tantrum.

They both made their way downstairs. Goten still with Trunks's words in his head. Trunks watched as Goten was struggling with himself. Trunks frowned as Goten left his side and into the crowd of people. Trunks sighed as he ran his hands through his hair. Uub spotted him and came over. "Hey Trunks looks like your good mood went sour." Trunks glared at him. "Oh sorry Trunks. I was just trying to help."

"Well thanks for trying, but we need to talk about other important matters."

"You mean me dating your sister."

"Yes, and I know you're going to try an convince me that I don't love her and this is just puppy love but it's not true. I love your sister very much, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her."

"I wasn't going to do that Uub, but I'll warn you that if you hurt her, then I will blast you to oblivion."

"I understand Trunks but did you know you just sounded like your father just now?"

"If you're trying to get me in a worse mood, then you're succeeding."

"Sorry Trunks, I'll just go now."

"Yeah you do that."

Trunks looked for a spot to be alone. He found a spot under a shaded tree. He leaned on the bark and took a breath. "Finally some peace and-

"Trunks." He put on a neutral face as Marron came up to him. "I'm glad we're alone I wanted to talk to you."

"About?"

"Well I thought we could go out sometime."

"I'm sorry Marron. I'm just not into you."

"How do you know if you don't give it a chance?"

"Believe me I know Marron. I'm sure you'll find someone else."

"I will, and he'll be better than you."

"I doubt it."

Marron walked away in anger, and Trunks leaned against the other side of the tree towards the view of the mountain. "Man why can't I be left alone is it too much to ask."

"Well you're at a party Trunks."

"Go away Gohan."

"Trunks we need to talk about this."

"No, you need to mind your business and keep your mouth shut."

"You can't order me around."

"Whatever Gohan."

"No not whatever Trunks. You love my brother and that's something I can just ignore."

"Well he knows. Can you ignore it now?"

"Wait! He knows. What did he say?"

"He said nothing alright."

"It's a probably a good idea anyway. Now I don't have to tell my mother anything, and you can let your infatuation go."

"I don't think you know me so well Gohan because if you did you would now that I don't joke about my feelings. If I love someone, I love them with everything that I have."

"You have feelings?"

"Just what are you trying to say Gohan?"

"You hardly express your feelings at all. You act all cold towards your co-workers and anyone who you think is not even worth your time. How do I know you wouldn't cast my brother aside when you get tired of him."

"Boy are you really stupid Gohan. I've been friends with Goten since he was born, and I think if I were tired of him, I would have ditched by now. Don't you think?"

"That's not the point Trunks. Just don't pursue him."

"I'm not going to. Are you happy Gohan? Now your mom doesn't have to throw a hiss fit."

"Thank you Trunks."

"Well I guess it wouldn't matter. All you and your mother do is think about yourselves. You never think about what he wants and what he needs."

"It's not like you would."

"Of course I do Gohan. I'm his best friend after all and now I'm done with this conversation so you can leave me alone now."

"Your spoiled attitude no doubt comes from how you were raised, a selfish, arrogant brat probably greatly influenced by your father."

"Well at least my father never left my family." He turned away from Gohan and didn't notice the kick connect to his back, sending him through the sky and onto the ground.

Suddenly everyone was watching the fight, thinking it was just for entertainment but Goten and Bulla knew better as they went towards them. Before Trunks and Gohan could charge at each other, Bulla and Goten blocked their older brothers. Goten faced Gohan and Bulla faced Trunks.

"Stop it you two," said Goten. "Lets just talk about this like adults."

"I don't think Trunks is capable," said Gohan as Trunks pushed against his sister.

"Stop. It. NOW!" Goten said as he went super saiyan causing Gohan to fall down as well as Bulla to fall onto Trunks. "Oh, I'm sorry Bulla."

"No problem, I understand." She glared at the two. "What the hell is going on with you two?"

None of them chose to speak and Goten noticed Trunks's smell was more evident to him then ever. He blushed.

"I'm sorry Goten," said Trunks.

"I know Trunks."

"No not about that but fighting with your brother. I'm not sorry about the other thing."

Goten's face went red, and Trunks smirked. Bulla looked amused, and Gohan was annoyed. "Stop flirting with my brother and keep it in your pants Briefs."

"Gohan, that was really uncalled for," said Bulla as she stood in front of her brother.

"That's ok. I can take anything he dishes out to me."

"Is that so Trunks?"

Goten was rolling his eyes as Bulla laughed at him. Gohan and Trunks faced the two with serious looks. "You two should really see yourselves." Goten laughed. "You look like a couple of idiots." Bulla laughed along with him.

"Yeah, acting all tough. It's hilarious," said Bulla as she held her stomach.

"Anyway, what are you two arguing about?" asked Goten.

"You," said Trunks.

"Why?"

"You're big brother can't handle the fact that I love you, but I told him nothing was going to happen, and he still pushes my buttons about it. Like I'm some bad guy."

"He's just to cocky, arrogant for you Goten."

"First of all Gohan, it's my decision who I pick to spend the rest of my life. I think I made that pretty clear yesterday. If I happened to choose to be with Trunks, then that's something you'll have to learn to live with including mom."

"No!" said Gohan. "He'll ruin your life can't you see that?"

"You sound like mother. God I'm sick of it. Why don't you just mind your business and stop meddling in mine."

"I can't mind my own business Goten because you clearly don't know what a mistake looks like."

Goten felt the rage in him come out. He sent Gohan flying into a tree, and he came right up to Gohan's face that was dazed but then concentrated on his brother. He grabbed Gohan by the collar and looked him right in the eyes. "How DARE you say that Gohan? He was there for me through the toughest times in my life and that's more than I can say for you. You were always on mom's side. Trunks is always on my side no matter what. The only mistake here is having you as a brother." He dropped Gohan on his butt and walked away but not before Gohan said something he would regret latter.

"You know you're birth was a mistake. You weren't supposed to be born, but mom decided to keep you."

Bulla and Trunks were shocked at Gohan's confession. Trunks looked over to Goten who was not moving but shaking not with anger but with sadness and devastation. He ran over to Goten's side. He saw the tears falling down his face. Without a thought Trunks took Goten in his arms and flew off into the sky. Bulla knew her brother would take good care of him. She turned back to Gohan whose face was in shock of what he had just revealed to his little brother.

"Are you happy Gohan? You just ruined your relationship with Goten and your family in the process and by the looks on their faces you'll have to explain yourself."

"I-I-I didn't mean it Bulla, honest. I was just angry at him."

"What for having his own life? You know you can't shield Goten from the world forever Gohan. You're acting like his father."

"Well I guess since he was born I kind of took on that male role that was missing from his life. I guess I never realized that he's my brother and not his dad. What a fool I've been."

Bulla left as Gohan's family came over to him. He explained everything that went on between him and Goten, leaving out Trunks's secret. He had more to worry about. Chi-chi was surprised by what he had said to her younger son. "Why in the world would you tell Goten that he was a mistake? I mean it's true that he wasn't expected but at no point did I want to get rid of him."

"I know I'm sorry. I'll never forgive myself for saying that to Goten. I don't even know if he'll ever forgive me."

Bulla walked over to the Son family. "You know Gohan I don't think you fully appreciate what Goten has done. He was the one that gave King Kai the test to bring your father back to you, to your family because he knows that Goku makes you all happy, and he'll probably kill me for telling you. It had to be said."

The Son family was speechless.
