Trunks went to goten's room and knocked the door

"Come in trunks"

"Gd morning chibi . Slept well ?"

"Y-yeah. You"

"Same . So are you ok ? I mean anything i should know ?"

"Yeah well not really ... i had a fight with chichi and well i thought i could stay here for a while"

"Good thinking indeed. Now we can spend more time together right?"

Goten remained silent

'I am really nervous of this whole thing . But i need to figure out my feelings'

"Yeah i guess"

'I guess ? He really nervous . Damn this will be hard for both of us'

"Well are you ready for school ?"

"Yep lets go"

The 2 demi saiyans went to school . It was the first time trunks stepped in it since a year and it was already days away from midterms . Of course it wasn't a problem for trunks as genious as he is . But both him and goten couldn't actually focus on them with the problems they are facing . They tried acting normally aroud each other like eating together , walking together and sitting in the class together since trunks skipped a year due to going to the USA so he and goten are now classmates.

"Aren't you offended that you skipped a year"

"Look on the bright side of it goten , we will graduate together"

"Yeah ..."

"Briefs , son . Principle office now"

"Yes sir" they said together

"A lot has changed since you left"

"What changed ?"

"Soon enough you will see" said goten as he knocked and opened the door . Trunks was shocked to see that the principle was none otber than gohan.

"Trunks , goten ? Whats wrong ?"

"We were talking and got kicked out" trunks said

"You have all day together , it could have waited you know"

"We were bored to death" goten replied

"Well you know i need to keep my image clean so you have 3 hours detention. I'm sorry"

They got out and laughed a bit

"Wow ... gohan the principle ? Since when ?"

"A few months ago"

"Well i guess we will see him more often then"

Goten smiled and said "never getting tired of troubles no trunks?"

"What can i say ? I love being a troublemaker and you are my partner in crime"

"Just like old days"

"Yeahhh i miss them"

"Me too"

"Go wait for me in the cafeteria and i'll be back"

"Where are you going"

"Mother nature calls"

Goten laughed as they went their ways

Goten ordered some food and sat waiting . After a while , his plate was ready but when he went to take it , the school's most popular bully came and his prey was goten . Goten shiverred when he saw him as bad memories filled his mind .

"Do you want your plate ?"

"You can take it ... as always"

"Thank you goten . But today i will be noble and give it to you"

"I said i don't want it anymore"

"Come on now or i will come to you"

Left with no options , he went but on his way he was tackled and floored . His face was just inches from his feet

"Kiss it"

"Hell no"

"I won't repeat again . Kiss it or else"

"Again HELL NO YOU SOB"

"Well ... i guess we chose or else "

Soon goten found himself getting kicks and punches from everywhere . When they stopped , the leader , david , took the plate and emptied it's content oh his face , adding insult to injury in the process

Just as they were laughing , trunks appeared and saw the scene . He couldn't control his anger and started to beat the hell out of them and he threw them out of the window. He then got goten in his arms and flew home . He let him get showered and waited for him on the bed.

"Why didn't you fight back ? You are way more stronger than him"

"I don't want to cause more trouble for gohan"

"What do you mean?"

"His father was the previous president so he could do whatever he wanted without anyone interferring . Now that gohan is the president , his father is trying his best to do anything that can damage gohan's pic . If i told him , he would beat the hell out of him which will be very bad for him"

"So you preffered to suffer silently ? For how long ?"

"My first year . Can we stop talking about it ?"

"Chibi i ... ok if that's what you want . But you are hiding something"

"Trunks"

"Ok ok"

"We have to return"

"Are you sure"

"Yes"

"Ok then"

...

"Trunks ... a word in private please ?"

"What is it gohan ?"

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND ? You nearly turned SS when you kicked their asses in front of everyone . What were you thinking ?"

"I was defending my best friend"

"From what ?"

"They were bullying him for years and no one stepped up."

"When he didn't tell me ?"

"Because he didn't want to get your image at stake"

"I ... i don't know what to say ... well Thank you trunks"

"I will do anything for the one i care about"

Trunks left .

'The one he cares about ? He said it genuinly and sincerly with eyes full of ... love . Could it be ? Is he in love with goten ? Maybe that's why he is overprotective of him . And those eyes ... i see them every time i look at videl . Wow i should have known in the first place . Well at least he is in safe hands ... i guess'

Meanwhile goten was waiting in the class and bulla and uub saw him

"Hey goten" they said together

"Bulla , uub hello ... long time no see"

"Yeah i was very busy lately , school and dating stuffs . What about you ?"

"Same here , except we are mates now"

"You bonded according to the saiyan tradition ? Well congratulation . I am so happy for you"

"Thank you goten . We hope you find your soulmate . Only then you will feel truly happy , safe and complete , just like we are feeling now "

As soon as they said that , an image of trunks appeared in his mind . He shook it off and said

"This is really wonderful news . Well does vegeta knows ? I mean speaking of safety"

They laughed .

"Yes we told him . He was annoyed at first but i think he began to understand and get used to him"

"Are you sure ?"

"I said used to him. I didn't say completely fine with it."

"Wow great for you. So how long have you been together ?"

"1 year"

"Wow that long ?"

"Yes . We never thanked you before , had you never make us meet , he wouldn't have the stomach to come at his own "

Goten and uub blushed

"i just gave him hints that's all . He did the work"

They laughed again and trunks then entered . They looked at each other and bulla noticed the sudden change in goten's eye . She knew that he was faking emotions when they were talking but when he saw trunks , he felt really happy just by seeing him .

"Come on uub , we are gonna be late"

Uub took the hint and left

"Did you see what i saw ?"

"Yes ... i guess they love each other"

"But too stubborn to admit it"

"Can we help them ?"

"No i don't think so . They are grown men now . They need time to figure out their feelings thanks to the stupid society nowadays"

"You are right i guess . Well come , we better not be late. Vegeta will kill us otherwise"

...

"Hey trunks ... umm thank you ... for everything"

"Chibi that's the least i can do. You are my best friend"

"Well what do we do now ?"

"We wait our punishment to end"

"Should we escape ?"

"What am i hearing ?"

"Don't act so innocent trunks ... come on mr troublemaker"

"You surprises me"

"I learned from the best"

Said goten as he flew from the window with trunks following him

"Chibi go home now . I have some errands to attend I'll be back as soon as i can ok ?"

"Fine see ya"

...

Trunks went to the park where pan was waiting for him.

"Hello trunks"

"Hey panny . Long time no see"

"Yeah i missed u too ... so tell me whats wrong ?"

"Goten"

"What about him ?"

"Come on trunks , i know you love him and he loves you too. What are you two waiting for ?"

"How do you know he loves me back ?"

"Ever since you left , he always put a picture of you two in the pocket near his heart"

"Really ? But that doesn't mean he loves me like a lover . What if he was just missing me ?"

"I doubt it . Trunks stop torturing yourselves and spill the beans . The way you acted toward him in the school proves it "

"I ... i don't know "

"It's up to you trunks but you better hurry up . No one knows what could happen"

"Thanks pan"

"Anytime"

Both saiyans flew to their homes .

"I'm back chibi"

He heard no reply

He sensed his ki and found it in the GR . He decided to wait and not interrupt his training . He never saw him train like this before .

'What if pan was wrong ? What if he doesn't feel the same way about me ? What the hell should i do now ?'

"You should wait son" said vegeta as he put his hand ontrunk's shoulder

"Dad i ..."

"He needs time that's all"

"How do you know ?"

"I went through a similar phase"

"How long should i wait ?"

"As long as he needs . Until then your instincts must remain in check and undercontrol or else"

"I know ... it's hard that's all"

"Stay strong , he will make up his mind soon."

'I hope so'

...

After goten finished his training , he went to his room and headed to the shower .

'I am positive now . I love him . I can't deny those feelings he gives me . He makes me very happy and safe and ... complete . Just the same as bulla and uub.'

He wanted to tell him badly but he was afraid of what his reaction will be . Trunks was known previously to be a player , the ladies man . But how will he react when he knows that his best friend was gay and i love with none other than him

He decided to get closer to trunks so he took his books and headed to his room . As he opened the door he saw trunks who was about to knock.

"I ... i am sorry if ..."

"No trunks . I was going to you anyway . Can you please teach me ?"

"Anything for my chibi"

"Thank you"

They entered the room and studied together.

Goten was staring at his face all the time . Trunks noticed it but decided to ignore it at first . He kept staring until the lesson was over

"So ... this is our lesson for today . Any questions ? Something you didn't understand ? Anything ?"

"Um no trunks thank you . See ya tomorrow."

Goten lied on his bed after trunks left

'I can't believe i stared at his face the entire time. Could he have noticed ? But how could i resist and escape those beautiful eyes ... and his sexy smile ... i wished i leaned closer to kiss him . kami i love him so badly that it hurts'

Meanwhile trunks leaned at his door

'He kept staring at me all the time . I swear he was about to kiss me . Kami it really hurts not being able to confess to him now. But at least he began figuring out his feelings . We have to wait till then . I just hope it doesn't takes too long'

2 weeks passed now and Trunks was happy that goten's emotional state is improving. His laugh was heard more often and he didn't stayed in his room any longer . He went wherever trunks go and do everything with him . Eating , studying , training ... everything. They were both too comfortable with each other and it made everyone happy . They even started sleeping together at goten's room since his bed was 2 times bigger .

"Hey boys. How was school today ?"

"Boring as hell " they said together .

They looked at each other and laughed hard

"Something never changes no ?"

"Not a chance" said trunks

"You know gohan is complaining about you"

"Well we are very innocent aren't we trunks ?"

"Yeah chibi . They are falsly accusing us" they laughed again

"Well as long as you two are happy then you can do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt anyone"

"We know bulma."

"Thanks mom"

"Well go now and have some fun"

"Will do"

They entered the room and started studying a bit . Trunks was really happy that goten greatly improved . He was able to finish his homeworks 3 times faster now and his grades started to become A .

Once they were done the played on their console for like an hour. They got bored then.

"Trunks ?"

"Yeah"

"Can we spar ?"

"I don't mind"

"Great . Now i will get my chance to kick your ass"

"In your dream chibi"

The sparring was a very intense one . They were exactly matched in power now

"Wow chibi ... you got a lot more stronger than before."

"Yeah ... i learned from the best you know"

"Well i am impressed with your new found strengh . But still you can't beat me " he smirked

"Oh yeah ... we'll see my arrogant prince " said goten as he knocked trunks down and got on top of him pinning his hands on the ground. Trunks was surprised by the sudden move and quickly fought back . The two resumed their match for what seemed to be an hour and neither could get the definitive win . They then stopped .

"I guess you were right . I can't still kick your ass "

"I told you that you are welcome to try"

They laughed and then silence filled the room . Goten didn't want to wait any longer . He wanted to get this off his chest .

"Trunks ... i need to tell you something"

'Could it be ?'

"What is it chibi ?"

"I ... i don't know how to start . Well for a while now i've been having ... um ... some kind of feelings . Unnatural feelings . I ... i am not attrackted to girls . But neither boys . I am attrackted to ... only you . I love you trunks"

Trunks couldn't believe what he heard .

'Finally ... he came out and with mutual feelings'

"I knew you would hate me for this . Well um goodbye i guess" goten stood up and headed fastly to the door

"Goten wait ! I am too"

Goten froze when he heard him . He managed to turn slowly and suddenly his lips connected with trunk's . He fully complied and the kiss became deep and passionate.

"I love you Trunks."

"Let's go to bed"

Trunks heart started to beat at a rapid pace and the warmness and wholeness Goten had talked about earlier had spread across his entire being. He suddenly attacked Goten's body, laying Goten below him. His lips instantly went to Goten's in a heated kiss. Goten was surprised but responded to Trunks's kiss. Trunks broke the kiss to look down at the beautiful saiyan below him and his face turned serious.

"Hey Trunks, what is it?"

"Goten, I need to know if this is what you want before we go any further."

"Oh, you mean-

"Yes chibi."

"I want to Trunks."

Before Goten knew it, Trunks was planting kisses down his neck and then went up to his ear, nibbling on the skin. Goten moaned in response, which Trunks smirked at. While he was attacking the other side of Goten's neck, he was unbuttoning Goten's shirt and tossing it on the floor. Soon Trunk's lips moved to his chest and eventually to his torso. He could feel Goten squirming beneath him. When his hands came to Goten's pants, he could sense a fear within his chibi.

"Goten, we can stop if you want."

"No, k-keep going."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Trunks took off Goten's pants, leaving him in his boxers. Trunks took off all his clothes accept his boxers and then returned his attention back to the boy under him. He pressed himself onto the boy, which earned a moan from both of them as their arousals were pressed to each other. Goten leaned up, kissing his lover's lips, bringing Trunks to respond to him with need. Suddenly, Goten flipped their bodies, leaving Trunks below him. Trunks was surprised but wasn't prepared for the interesting sound that came from his mouth as Goten ravished his body with wet kisses. Goten was surprised by it as well, but he smiled.

"I didn't expect that reaction."

"Neither did I chibi." Trunks raised his hand to his lover's cheek as he came up and captured Goten's lips, bringing him down to his lover's body. Trunks was hit with another surprise as Goten's tongue entered his mouth but instantly Trunks's tongue entered his mouth. The kiss became more passionate and deep, and they broke for air.

Goten was catching his breath, which gave Trunks the opportunity to switch their positions on his bed. Goten had landed on his stomach while Trunks was above him. Trunks quickly took off Goten's as well as his boxers, leaving them bare. Trunks leaned over Goten's body. When he knew he was about to be fucked, fear began to overwhelm him

"Trunks ... i am sorry i can't do it anymore" goten got out of the bed .

"Chibi ... what's wrong ?"

Goten quickly went to the bathroom and locked the door behind him .He was shivering with fear as His memories returned . He remembered how he was raped countless times in trunks abscence.

'Did i do something wrong to him ?' Thought trunks.

"Chibi open the door , It is alright we will stop. Tell me what is bothering you."

"Trunks i'm ... i'm really sorry . Could we wait for a while ?"

"Y-yeah of course chibi . I don't want you to be afraid or sad or anything . We will wait as long as you need"

"Thank you trunks ... you really are the best . I know you might be hurt by i need time to ... to ..."

"I understand chibi . Your happiness is what really matters"

'Goten this was very dangerous on your part . Thank kami i controlled my instincts .' He sighted in disappointment.

"Come on chibi lets go to sleep"

"Trunks ?"

"Yeah chibi"

"I ... i was ... never mind. Good night"

"Night chibi"

'I wonder what is wrong with him . Why is he avoiding me somehow ? He is hiding something and i need to know it'

'He needs to know ... but what if he killed him or something ? I don't want trunks's reputation to get affected even more when the others know he is gay ... kami it really sucks'
