“Goten.... I- I have been meaning to tell you something...” Trunks started, looking up at the sky as he and Goten sat by the lake, taking a break from training. They found themselves once more in the fields of their usual sparring place.
“What is it Trunks!?” Goten smiled, swaying his head side to side, happy to be outside with his best friend. Nothing could bring his moon down.
“I-I need you to be serious for once... please?” Trunks asked.

He knew this was asking too much of his younger friend. Goten was still naive for his age, even thinking back to their *playful confessions* he knew Goten didn’t understand what he truly meant. Why would his younger friend understand? He wasn’t like Trunks... he was normal.
Goten stopped smiling, looking at Trunks with a serious face. He knew instantly something was up. He needed to try and be serious for his older lavender haired friend.

“I-I don’t know how to say this. And quite frankly, I’ve been confused for a long time. I don’t know who to talk to, but most of all, I’m really scared. I’m scared that I’m not normal,”
“Well of course not Trunks! We’re Saiyans! We’ve never been normal,”
“I’m not meaning it in that way though...” Trunks trailed off.
“I don’t quite understand then,”
“Chibi... Goten... I-I think I’m gay....”
“Gay?” Goten questioned.
“What is gay? Is that a feeling or food? Ohhh! It must be food! Gay sounds like a really delicious type of food! I bet it’s sweet!”
Trunks sighed heavily, standing up. He knew he was asking too much of Goten. He knew all along Goten would not understand, he was far too young for his own good.
“Trunks? What’s wrong?”
Trunks kept his face away from Goten, silence lingering in the air.
“Gay isn’t food is it...?”
Trunks shook his head,
“Of course not you moron! Why is it always to do with food with you! Why are you always so happy!? Can’t you just for once take me seriously! I want you to be serious like you were when we fought Majin buu!” Trunks shouted, looking towards Goten with tears in his eyes.
“Trunks... tell me what gay means! I might understand then,”
“I like boys! Is that better for you? Is gay too big of a word for you!?” Trunks shouted, punching Goten in the shoulder, making Goten fly, landing on his back. Goten looked at his friend in fear.
“Why’d you do that you big bully!?”
Trunks looked away, why did he do that? Was he angry at Goten? How could he be angry at a boy he’s loved since he could remember? How could he hit his best friend just out of nowhere because he just didn’t understand one word? Why? Why was he so different? Why were all the boys in his class so into girls all the sudden but he wasn’t?

“So you like boys huh?” Goten started, standing up, brushing off the grass and fixing his gi outfit.
“Yes! I like boys! Now you know!” Trunks shouted back.
“Well I don’t see anything wrong with that.”
Trunks froze. Goten sees nothing wrong with it? Did Goten really just understand what Trunks said?
“But why do you have to make such a big fuss out of it? So what if you like people with extra dangly parts, it shouldn’t change who your friends are...”
“But I only like this one boy,” Trunks whispered.
“So tell him! Surely he’d like you back. I don’t know of one person who doesn’t think you’re great!”
“I have, but I don’t think he quite understands yet,” Trunks answered, remembering back to a few years ago.
Goten didn’t have an answer for that. He was too curious to know who it was. He wanted to know who that lucky boy was. Which boy in his classes got Trunks’ heart in his hands without knowing?

“I’m going to go home now, Dad wants me home early.” Trunks started floating, and with that he flew off not looking back at Goten. He kept flying, tears falling down his face. –Goten will never understand. -

Maybe from that day Trunks and Goten’s friendship wasn’t exactly how it used to be. But they definitely weren’t as open as they always were. Trunks did everything to refrain himself to acting in a slightest way attracted to guys, or at least, attracted to Goten. He didn’t want anyone to know. He knew it would mean the end of him, both at school and at home. Goten never spoke of it, and slowly they did drift slightly. And as evidently as it is, Goten forgot the fact that Trunks ever confessed to him. Thus leading to as why later in high school they’d only see each other once in a while. But it wasn’t until in the last year of Trunks’ high school did Goten start hanging out with Trunks again. Trunks welcomed Goten into his group of friends and in no-time they were back to being best buds like they use to be. Goten had become mature, or at least, he thought so, which made the transition a lot quicker.

After thinking about all the memories he had with Trunks, he was kicking himself so many times as to why he never that day went after Trunks or carried on from the day of their *playful confessions.* Maybe Goten was scared too. He was also scared to what his family would think, not to mention Chi-Chi. So instead, he hid away, and went in search for Trunks, now knowing he could relate to him more. Goten never mentioned to Trunks that he shared the same feelings. He ended up vowing to keep it to himself. But as his first year of college came by, he couldn’t help but feel a deeper need for Trunks. He was now mature enough to see what he truly felt, and what he has done when he was naive. But he wasn’t exactly mature, he still had some naive, innocent nature in him thus why he’s had so many break-ups with girls.

And as time went on Trunks still kept his feelings towards Goten, but they were becoming more powerful as they started hanging out more. His feelings were lustful; the need of Goten became stronger. He saw Goten has made a transition from naive to mature, but still happy-go-lucky, the very thing that attracted Trunks to Goten in the first place.

-----At around Age 784-----
Ages 17 and 18

Vegeta started talking to Trunks about the Saiyan’s mating and how he should be starting to look out for someone in particular in coming time. He explained that due to the ape in Saiyan’s, they undergo a thing called mating. This is where they find, as cheesy as it is, their soul mate, whether it is boy or girl. Goku, without noticing has mated to Chi-Chi and likewise did Vegeta and Bulma and so on with Gohan and Videl. Mating didn’t mean you become hopelessly in love, heck if only it did! Mating wasn’t about showing the world how much you loved that person. It was about securing your genes with someone, to carry on your family line. Even if they never showed their affection, there was that piece of thread that linked the two partners together, and when in times of danger, they would stand up and fight anyone who was willing to break this thread. Due to Saiyan’s nature, the affection was never shown, but deep down, it was there. They didn’t show any affection to their offspring’s, yet alone their mates in public, but when in private, it was a total different story. The only catch was, once you mated, there was no going back.

“In time it’ll come, I can feel it’s soon for you, but I’m not too sure about Kakarrot’s boy,”
“How can you tell dad?”
“Just by the maturity I guess. We pure Saiyans can always tell,”
“Really?” Trunks questioned, not exactly too interested. He was at this point quite worried as to why Vegeta had this talk with him. Okay sure, he may have calmed down a lot since his younger sister Bulla was born, or actually, even before that. After Majin Buu, they all saw a change in Vegeta. But this topic alone was scary. He never thought in a million years would his dad be explaining such things to him.
“What about that Marron girl of Krillin’s, I know she’s a bit quiet and all... But it would be handy...” Bulma asked, sitting with the guys, listening to some Saiyan history.
Trunks nodded, taking no point of it. Why did it matter? He only wanted Goten.
