Chapter 1: After School Blues

Trunks and Goten sat next to each other in their final class of the day, trigonometry class. Trunks could see that the rest of the class was watching the clock expectantly, willing the hands to move and chime 3:00. They had taken a midterm test that day and though most of his school subjects were a breeze, he knew it was probably torture for his friend Goten. He had finished the test about a half hour ago and was now simply sitting at his desk daydreaming. He looked across the row at Goten and saw that he was still busily trying to finish.

He looked away and remembered what he had planned to do after class. He had been dating a girl named Tina for about a month now, but it was becoming obvious that it was going nowhere. That seemed to be how it went for all of Trunks's relationships. A month was about the longest he had ever managed to keep a girlfriend, but instead of that making him a boy that the girls would stay away from, it seemed like they treated it like a challenge to go for longer than a month. He had not told Goten about his plans and since he was supposed to come over after school he would have to let him know to wait on him. Maybe he should ask Goten to come with him so Tina would be less likely to make a scene? As he turned to whisper to him, he found his eyes transfixed on Goten's mouth.

He was chewing and licking his lips as he focused on his test. Trunks found that his body was reacting to the image of those lips and tongue in ways that it should not be reacting. He was inadvertently leaning forward more and more, until suddenly he fell right out of his chair. “Mr. Briefs,” called out the teacher. “Are you having a hard time staying in your chair?”

Trunks could hear his class's laughter and he blushed ten different shades of red. “No Ma'am,” he replied quietly. Then he looked at Goten, to see him looking confused. He got back into his chair and hoped that the last five minutes of class would fly by quickly. When the bell rang, Goten took his test up and gave it to the teacher, while Trunks stood off to the side. As Goten passed him, he grabbed his shoulder and said, “Wait on me, I have to do something first.” Then he walked down the hall to find Tina standing by his locker.

“Hey Baby,” she called out. “I was waiting for you.” Then she moved towards him and tried to kiss him but he moved his head away in time.

“I need to talk to you,” He told her sternly. “I want to break up.” Then he opened his locker and proceeded to gather his books. He looked off to the side and saw Goten standing there watching. He seemed to have a strange look in his eyes. When he turned back to Tina, he saw a single tear had slipped from her eyes. He looked away in disgust. He had known she would be upset but he would prefer anger over tears. He turned to her and displayed the most callous attitude he was capable of and said, “It was fun while it lasted, but it's over. So, explain to me why you are still standing there.” Then she swung out her hand to slap him and he let it connect with his face. As she stormed off, he sighed and realized that he just desperately wanted to go home.

Goten had watched the entire exchange between Trunks and Tina and was unsure of how he felt about it. If he were honest, he kind of felt sorry for her. That was until she slapped him of course. He wondered why Trunks had not dodged it. He walked over to talk to him and could definitely see the hand print.

“May I ask why you dumped her?” asked Goten.

“I was bored,” Trunks replied. “Now let's go back to my house and relax. I'm sure after the test this afternoon you need it.” He did not say anything in response, just followed Trunks home to Capsule Corp. When they got in Trunks's room, he laid across the bed and opened his history book. “Oh come on Goten, we just got out of school, it's too early to start in homework.”

Goten smiled and tackled Trunks to the ground and pinned him. “Fine,” he said. “What do you want to do?” The husky undertone that seemed to slip into Goten's voice caught Trunks off guard. It made him both strangely excited and slightly nervous. He cleared his throat and pushed Goten off of him.

“I guess we are doing homework,” he replied. Then he laid across the bed and opened up his backpack to start. He finished his homework rather quickly, but he spent the rest of the evening helping Goten with his.

They laid of Trunks's bed on their stomachs, their thighs and shoulders would occasionally brush up against each other and both woud move away quickly as if they had been shocked. Being this close to Goten was unnerving to Trunks, but he could not understand why. He caught his eyes drifting to Goten's mouth over and over again. He would look away immediately and try to avoid doing it again. To be honest, he was almost glad when Goten went home giving him time to think.

As Goten flew home that evening, he mused on the events of the day. School had been it's usual torture and nothing all that strange had happened, but for some reason he had an uneasy feeling. It was probably just due to seeing Trunks break up with yet another girlfriend. He hated being involved in Trunks's relationships but because they were best friends these girls would always call him and ask him why Trunks had dumped them. If Tina called him tomorrow what was he supposed to say to her, `Oh, he said he was bored.'

He went straight to his room and collapsed onto his bed. He took a deep breath and moved onto his side. As his head turned his eyes caught the picture frame that was sitting on his bedside table. The picture was of him and Trunks at the beach. He reached for the frame and removed the picture hidden behind the one in front.

That picture was just of Trunks, sunbathing on the beach that same day that the other picture had been taken. He was wearing nothing but a small pair of black swimming trunks and sunglasses. Goten found himself admiring all that rippling muscle on display. Trunks had a gorgeous body with only a few small scars. However, Goten's favorite feature of Trunks was his smile, it made him look so sexy. Then his attention was drawn to the corner of the picture and a frown appeared on his face.

There were a group of girls that day at the beach that had followed Trunks around like lost little puppies. You could see them off to the side in this picture as they fussed with their hair and tried to make their cleavage look bigger. All the girls wanted Trunks because he was smart, sexy, and rich. “Yeah, Trunks can have any girl he wants,” he whispered to himself. “That's probably why he goes through so many of them.” He put the picture back as he considered his feelings and what to do about them. Even though, he was pretty sure that his feelings would not be reciprocated, he could not keep them a secret much longer. Well, screw it! He was going to at least try and win Trunks, whether it pissed him off or not.
