Chapter 14
I would just like to start off with one BIG apology!!! SORRRYYY!! I had this chapter written months ago, but for some reason, I wasn’t satisfied with it at all and didn’t post it. I had hoped to come back to it after a week or so and improve it, but … it’s been a bit longer than a week, huh? After checking my email today, I realized there were people still following this story, and after one reviewer sent me a message asking about ILYF, I rediscovered that I wanted to finish. So thanks to all my reviewers, who have helped me get through this piece of work! You guys are awesome! (Your replies will be at the end of this chapter)
Chapter 14:
“It started a while ago, when we were in middle school,” Goten said slowly, uncertainly. “I wasn’t sure what it was at first, but then I realized that I … well, I kind of liked you,” he blurted, reddening.
“It’s o—“ Trunks began, before Goten raised a hand, effectively silencing him.
“Just let me tell it,” he said softly, eyes not meeting Trunks’ but determined nonetheless. “Then in high school, when those same feelings stayed, I became convinced that I was hopelessly in love, stupid as it sounds. I just…you were so secure, so smart, and so good looking, that I couldn’t stop myself from feeling the way I did.”
Trunks smiled. The compliments were typical, but these were special because they came from his treasured best friend.
“But, I couldn’t ever tell you my feelings. Remember that kid in high school, Ronnie? Yeah…well he was gay. And look at what happened to him…” Goten shuddered. “But not only him. When he proposed who he liked, that guy ended up being rejected too! It’s not like he did anything, but just because Ronnie declared that he liked him, that guy was labeled as gay. So…I couldn’t let you know. I wanted to, but what if the media, who is constantly reporting on your private life, got a hold of that information? What would happen to your reputation then? And what about your parents? Bulma’s worked so hard to make Capsule Corp. successful, and I don’t want some silly emotions of mine to ruin all her hard work. And what made it worse? I actually hoped that maybe you reciprocated my feelings, and at one point, I was so sure that it frightened me. I loved you so much, and I thought maybe I had a chance. And that’s when I left.”
A heavy silence fell over the pair as Goten’s words trailed off. He fidgeted with the soft fabric of the hotel pajamas, nervously waiting for Trunks’ reaction. Now it was out, and there was nothing more he could do. Let the pieces fall where they may.
Then suddenly Trunks materialized in front of Goten, crouched on his knees so he was right in front of Goten’s nose. “Trunks!” Goten yelped, instinctively jumping back.
Trunks grabbed Goten’s hands before he could retreat, encasing both of them with his own. He noticed absentmindedly that Goten’s hands were now softened, probably from the stripping, while his bore calluses from training. “Don’t you ever think that again, Son Goten,” he said fiercely, eyes crackling with energy to prove his sincerity. “It doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks of me. And Ronnie? That was high school, Goten! We were immature back then. The real world, as difficult as it can be, at least is changing. Most people can accept homosexuality. But all that aside, most importantly is that we’re both being hurt. I know you still love me, Goten. It’s obvious in the way your eyes follow my every little movement. It’s obvious in the little things you do, like the way you smile secretively when you think I’m not looking or the way you constantly reach up to pat down your hair. And it’s obvious that I’m in love with you too.”
Goten’s eyes shot up, wide with surprise. “A-are you sure? That this is what you want?” he asked, voice quavering slightly with barely suppressed hope.
Trunks laughed, the sound easing away what remained of Goten’s worries. “Definitely.” To prove his point, he leaned in and boldly planted a kiss on Goten’s warm lips.
Hesitant at first, Goten quickly responded, moving his lips in rhythm with Trunks’. Lips quirking up slightly in a smirk, he decided to show Trunks what he had learned these past few months. Wrapping his arms around Trunks’ neck and pulling him close, Goten parted his lips and sucked Trunks’ tongue into his mouth, moaning at the feelings.
After a few moments of that, Trunks broke away with a gasp. His logical mind started to kick back into gear, and he chuckled. “I always thought I’d be the one to overwhelm you on our first real kiss, but I guess I was wrong.”
Goten smirked again, glad that Trunks enjoyed it. He wasn’t sure if he was being too forward. Trunks leaned in, removing all doubts as to that matter when he thoroughly claimed Goten’s lips in a heated battle of tongues. Goten fought for dominance half-heartedly, eventually letting Trunks take the lead.
Yeah, everything was alright.
Late that night, the boys finally decided to turn in. They still had much more to catch up on, but at that moment, both were too bleary eyed to remember past two minutes ago.
“You can have the bed,” Trunks mumbled, falling into a heap on the couch.
Goten murmured a reply, which sounded like an argument, but gave in without any more persuasion. He only pulled the blankets halfway over himself before falling asleep.
With the lights off and Goten asleep, Trunks was suddenly more awake. He shook his head, confused at the sudden difference in clarity, and shifted to try to get to sleep.
After ten minutes of fruitless tossing, Trunks sighed and stood, padding his way quietly to the bedroom, where Goten snored softly. He hesitated slightly at the edge of the bed before sliding under the covers with Goten, pulling the blankets over them both. Immediately, Goten subconsciously shuffled closer to Trunks, curling himself with arms and legs around Trunks. Trunks only smiled and wrapped his arms around his sleeping chibi.
“I love you,” he whispered into Goten’s ear.
Just as Trunks was on the brink of unconsciousness, he heard an almost inaudible reply. “Forever…”

And…it’s over! Please leave reviews, even though I’ve been such an irresponsible author! I’m thinking about starting a new fiction, but in a different fandom. Anyone have recommendations? I hope you enjoyed this fiction, and one more shout of thanks to my readers and reviewers!
quatreofdoom – Thank you!
Jayn – Goten’s becoming a stripper seemed to shock many people. Who would’ve thought Chibi was capable of that?! Thanks for your kind review, and sorry about the incredibly late update!
DetoxAngel – I hope you enjoyed the rest of the chapter! Thanks for your review!
Nigellica – I couldn’t help but leave a cliffhanger for the last chapter… :D Thanks for reviewing!

To all my readers and reviewers: Thanks so much! This couldn’t have happened without you guys!
