A few notes before starting the story. This is the first time I’m writing fanfic. I normally write my own stories and it’s never been about yaoi or anything like that, so I’m a little uncertain.
I’m sorry if this upsets anyone and I’m sorry if there are any grammar errors! I try, very hard!

The story might seem slow at first, but I have a few ideas for this, so R&R would be so helpful to me!

This is mainly set in Age 786, Spring/Summer time. I like to work in “Ages”, which is technically the years of DBZ. To give you a bit of a background about Ages:
Trunks was born in Age 766.
Goten was born in Age 767. Cell Games happened in Age 767 in May.
The 25th World Martial Arts Tournament (which Goten and Trunks fought in Junior Division and all Majin Buu events) took place in Age 774.
The 28th World Martial Arts Tournament (The one when Goku leaves with Uub to train) was taken place in Age 784. Therefore, Trunks and Goten was 18 and 17 at the time.
As I said above, this story takes place in Age 786, which is 2 years later, thus meaning Goten is 18 turning 19 while Trunks is 19 turning 20.

Though... in saying that, I do somewhat swap time, like flashbacks, but I’ll have it clearly stated how old and which year they took place.

I live in Southern hemisphere, New Zealand to be exact, so do note some words are spelt differently; such as “favourite” and “mum” and etc etc Also, our drinking age is 18, so it’s quite different compared to other country’s drinking age. We also here start University (I believe other places call it College?) at the age of 18 going onto 19. I’ve set this to be Northern hemisphere seasons, for your advantage!

As I stated above about the Age/Year thing...this story is set a few years after Majin Buu. Even 2 years after the tournament that the Z Fighters met Uub at. If you see Goku at home and etc in this story, don’t fret! If you remember at the end of DBZ, he promised *Pan* he’d come and visit... so that’s exactly what he’s doing! I don’t see a reason why Goku DIDN’T visit his family while training with Uub.
In my story, GT doesn’t happen :) Thought I would make it easier on myself to leave GT out. Plus anyway, this takes place before GT.

“...” means speech,
-Italics- means thought.

Age 786
Goten = 18-19 years old.
Trunks = 19 – 20 years old

“Goten, shouldn’t you be studying?” Gohan asked as Goten threw a punch at his Dad’s face.
“Yeah, but I just needed to get out of the house! Can’t stand being in there for too long!” Goten shouted back, throwing a few more, releasing his frustration onto Goku.
“Mum’s going to kill you,” he joked, pulling an unknown face... Obviously Gohan has felt the wrath of Chi-Chi before.
“You better get back Goten, I don’t want to get home tonight and see your cooked corpse on my dinner table,” Goku joked as he flew down to swap sparring partners.
“Plus anyway, don’t you have that date to get to later tonight?” Gohan continued.
“Oh... y-yeah I do.”
“Then get going! Or else mum will really throw a pan at you!” Gohan yelled.
“Alright, alright, bye guys!”
“See you later Goten!” Gohan shouted
“Say hi to that date of yours for me!” Goku laughed, only to be looked at Gohan who appeared to be throwing daggers towards Goku.

Goten flew off slowly, taking in the wind through his black hair on this beautiful sunny day. He flew over Mount Paozu, the area his father and he was sparring, not rushing to get home anytime soon.
-Why don’t they just understand, I didn’t want to be stuck inside to study? I would’ve thought mum would be easier on me since Gohan already accomplished the ‘life-long goal of having a scholar son’. Seriously, why me!? –

Goten was in his first year of college, as being a 19 year old. His year older friend Trunks Brief; a young lavender haired boy was too. After fighting Majin Buu a few years back, everyone parted their way to enjoy peace. Some kept contact, while others, especially his father, tended to drift. Two years ago they finally all met up again at the World Martial Arts Tournament. It was great to see everyone again, but not so great that both Goten and Trunks was forced to sign up to only later have the whole tournament be cancelled. Since that day everyone went on with their lives.

Trunks started college, even though he was already smart enough, a year before Goten. Trunks had to become the next president of Capsule Corporation. Capsule. Corp was a huge, successful company owned by his mother and grandfather. It was his duty though to carry on, even if he had no interest in inventing or working as an accountant. Goten on the other hand had no idea what to do with his life. He was always so naive and young at heart, though high school changed him into a –not so innocent- guy, though he was still happy-go-lucky at heart. Goten figured that he’d do a year of study, anything that would be good to only then move to the cities and start a long, and very boring, road of being a full-time worker.

-But I’m glad it’s already finals, the last time I ever have to study. I told mum that I would only do an overall year course, no way was I going to stay there my whole life, slaving away with no training and freedom. I mean come on! I just finished high school last year, why do I want to do more!?-
Goten swayed to his back, flying slower while looking up at the pale blue sky. It was midday, the sun was high and warm, and summer was finally coming.
-And that date... If she knew I was only meeting up with Trunks Briefs, she’d probably never trust me again. Of course if I said I was just meeting up with him she’d never let me go, but as soon as I mentioned it was a ‘date’ she welcomed it with big arms, getting all teary that I’m finally going out again and looking for someone to marry.-

Once Goten reached the later years of high school he started dating many girls, all to which Chi-Chi, his mother, did not really approve of as they were all ‘unsuitable.’ That suited Goten just fine as he was still a bit naive for his age, and all he really wanted was to still live in freedom without being bounded down. What he really wanted was to go on adventures like his dad and brother had. Majin buu wasn’t a big enough adventure for him. But he knew that the world was now at peace, and so he’ll just have to make do working like any other human on this planet.

-Big deal, I’ve been on lots of dates with girls! And every single time she complains they’re not good enough, so why is this so different? Is it because I’ve nearly finished college for the year and about to move out? Maybe she thinks I’m finally ‘old enough’ or mature? Who knows?-

Goten decided to move into Capsule Corp to work in the big West City as already flying there each day just for classes for university was annoying enough. ChiChi finally let go of her strong chains around her youngest son, and allowed him the choice to go if he wanted to; on the condition that he would visit her once a week of course. Goten leaped with joy the day he found out he could move out to live with his childhood friend.
He turned back so he could fly faster. Luckily his older friend, Trunks Brief’s owned the huge dome shaped mansion. Bulma Briefs, Trunks’ mother welcomed Goten with open arms. She even decided to renovate a whole floor into an apartment room for them. This made Goten super happy as he was finally now able to get on with his life and away from his protective mother, even if he loved her very much.
-But... But I can’t forget what I’m meeting up with Trunks for. He phoned me for something urgent earlier this morning. But what exactly could be important? We’ve already agreed that I’ll be staying with his family at Capsule Corp, in West Cit... Maybe he... maybe he has something else in mind?-



------------------Flashback to Age 776 ---------------------
Ages: 9 and 10.

“Goten, have you ever been kissed?” the lavender haired boy asked, quickly looking down onto the grass where they sat. He played with his feet, nervous as hell as the question left his mouth.

It was a nice sunny day, perfect to train in. They were having a break, sitting on the short grass out in the fields close to Mount Paozu. Goten and Trunks enjoyed going out alone to the fields around Mount Paozu. It was not only the best place to spar without interruption but also a good chance to get away from protective mothers and angry fathers.

“Um, well mum always kisses me goodnight?” the dark haired boy replied smiling happily. He looked confused afterwards, being curious as to why Trunks would ask such a question. Goten’s never really thought about such things before which led him to be slightly curious as to why it was now only that it caught his mind.
“No! I’m not meaning in that way... you know, by a girl or something,” he replied, blushing.
“Ew no way, girls got cooties don’t they?”
“You’re such a baby sometimes Goten,” Trunks laughed.
“Why?” Goten asked, still curious as to why Trunks asked.
“Well... I was just wondering, if you know...”
“What is it Trunks!? Tell me!”
“Would... would... uhhh... you like.... to um... practice?” Trunks ended the sentence in a whisper, blushing while looking at his shoes. -Maybe this was a bad idea...-
“Eck! You got to be joking! Y-you want us to kiss?”
“No! I was just asking!” Trunks yelled, ashamed he even brought it up.
Why would Goten agree to kiss him? Trunks knew his strange wonderings was so different from what other boys his age thought of. Well at least he thought so. Maybe he wasn’t even supposed to as most of the boys in his school classes didn’t give two cents about girls for that matter. Maybe it was the Saiyan Genes that was to blame for his early development? Or maybe it was because he knew so much, thanks to his parents, about such things. But he knew he was not normal, and it frightened him sometimes, but there was no way it was going to haunt him, he had his father’s pride after all.
He’s known Goten since they were in diapers, and since the Majin Buu saga, he has been realising that there are some feelings attaching him to Goten. But he knew Goten didn’t share these, he was too young to understand, or at least too naive. But there was a small hope inside of him that Goten did share at least some feelings, especially after fusing and working together.

Goten looked up at the sky, wondering what was just asked of him. He thought he knew what Trunks meant. He’s seen his mother and father kiss countless times, even Videl and Gohan, but he couldn’t wrap his mind around why Trunks would ask him. Why would his best friend ask to practice when such things should be for grown ups?

“Shouldn’t we be saving this kissey-kissey stuff for when we are older and start getting girl friends like Gohan?” Goten asked.
“Yeah, I guess so... but don’t you understand though Goten!?” Trunks got up; he didn’t want to carry on with this topic anymore. He could see where this was leading; it was obvious now that Goten did not share the same feelings, or was Trunks just not making himself clear enough?
Goten’s smile turned into a frown as he saw his best friend walk away slowly. Was it something he said? He got up quickly and grabbed Trunks by the arm.

“I don’t understand why you asked...” He said in a quiet voice.
“I like you Goten! That’s why, can’t you see it?” Trunks yelped, still slightly annoyed at Goten,
“I like you too,” Goten announced proudly; obviously he didn’t quite get it.
“No, not like best buddies Goten... I’m meaning like how our mum’s like our dads.” Trunks turned around again, looking out the wide open field of grass.
He embarrassed himself enough; he just wanted to go home now. He didn’t want to look Goten in the eyes again, he was so ashamed. He knew that he was not normal, and if anyone ever found out, they would be shocked. Maybe it was better if he just kept it to himself. The world didn’t need to know... right?

Goten noticed Trunks was trying to move away, but Goten kept his grip on Trunks’ arm. He thought for a minute, taking in account what has happened the last few years. He was unsure of what to do, did Trunks just make him realise that he has feelings as well? Or was he simply just feeling bad for Trunks and wanted to make him feel better? He felt something deep down inside of him to tell Trunks differently just because he hated seeing Trunks look so sad. He wasn’t too sure what this feeling was though, it felt strange to him, and he’s never felt such confusion before.
Goten smile widen, and quickly moved in front of trunks, still gripping his arm. Trunks looked away from Goten’s face. The lavender haired boy didn’t want to look his best friend in the eye. He knew the dark haired boy would see the hurt. They knew each other too well, but did it mean Goten would understand it?
Goten leaned forward, unsure whether he should or not, but the feeling deep inside urged him on. He kept leaning until his lips softly brushed Trunks’. He held them there for a few seconds before releasing.
Trunks looked at Goten with shock. Did Goten just really give him a kiss!?
“I like you too Trunks,” Goten smiled the famous Son family grin. At least that seemed to cheer up his best friend.
