| I was Surprised I sit in front of the television set just staring at a blue screen. I just finished a great movie about a man who finds true love in another man. It was interesting but nothing really special. I pick up the phone to give Trunks a call until I have startling thought, "What if I'm gay," I question myself. Setting the phone down I sit to think a while but nothing comes to my head except images of Trunks in his suit and going off to work. "I'm not gay, I can't be gay. I've gone out with women and that's all I'm going to do." I pick the phone back up and dial his number. There's three dull rings before an answer comes up. A woman answers the phone; probley Bulma, "Hello?" "Is Trunks there," I ask. "Yes; is that you Goten?" "Yeah it's me; I just want to know if Trunks is just able to hang out." "I imagine so; let me go get him." "Okay," I wait on phone. She sure is taking her time "Hey Lover." "What," startled by his welcome. "Don't worry I'm playing. So what do you want?" His voice sounds very clam and sweet over the phone and his welcome was kind of on-turning. I shake my head trying rid the thoughts but there's no use, they're stuck there, like flies to sticky paper. I delay myself no longer and answer his question, "Do you want to come over and hang-out? I know of a really cool cliff; you can see the ocean from there." "Sounds fun; when do you want me to come over?" "Now sounds great but if your busy...," I was interuppted by a scream in the background, not a 'I need help' scream but a angry scream. "Mom and Dad are fighting again. I need to clam this down. Give me thrity minutes." "Sure...," but the phone is already hung up. His parents must have some problems; I've never had this happen but then again my father hasn't been at home for half my life. It must be good to have a father around. I've noticed that Trunks has been jealous of me having a bother. I decide to goto the cliff just to set everything perfect."This is a great place for the view, " I look at my watch twenty minutes have gone by like the wind over the ocean. As I turn to head home Trunks appears in my face. "Hey, " said Trunks in a chidish voice. "What the hell are you doing here and how did you find me?" I questioned with anger for scaring me. "I got done claming Mom and Dad and came over but you weren't there. So I felt out your ki and here I am." Good explaination. As I looked at Trunks' face I notice just how close he is to me. His blue eyes sprakle in the sunshine and I notice just how buetiful they really look. "Hey Goten! Are you still here?" Trunks waves his hand in front of my face but for some reason I'm dazed and can't stop looking at those eyes. I finally get out of my dazed postition and reply to Trunks' question. "Yeah I'm here; sorry about that I got caught in the view." "Yeah, it's really buetiful isn't it, " said Trunks as he gazed of into the ocean. "It sure is buetiful but nothing like you." I clamp my hands over mouth; I can't believe I said that. "What did you say, " questioned Trunks. "It was a joke, kinda like your welcome message on the phone, " I lied. "Oh; good one, " as turned back to look out again. Trunks has left for home and I'm now staring at the T.V. again trying to sort out my feelings. " Why the hell did I say that, how could have I said that? I'm straight not gay." Then it hit me; like a slap across the face, I was in love with my best friend Trunks. I stop denying myself. There's no way though that Trunks would ever understand; how can I tell him? The phone rings, I pick it up hopeing it's Trunks. "Uh, hello?" "Hey Goten! This is Trunks." "Oh, hey Trunks, " my reply is shivery with a tense vocal in my voice. "Are you alright?" "Yeah, I'm fine. So what do you want?" "My mom and dad are leaving tonight and I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out for a couple of hours. I got porno." "Yeah! That would be great, " I replied with excitment. Tonight we'll be alone and maybe I can ask Trunks a few questions. "Can you come over now?" "Yeah, I'll be there, " I hang up the phone and pack up a few things and head off. I gaze at the stars; such a buetiful night. Trunks' house is under me now and I slowly land and knock on the door gently. "Hey Trunks!" "Hey Goten! Just in time, " replied Trunks with excitement. "Just in time for what?" "I was watching the news and they said there's going to be a metor shower. Do you want ot go see it?" "Sure, " was all I said. We're flying towards the cliff I showed him earlyer. "There's the spot!" pointed Trunks as he slowly landed. "This is the same spot I already showed you." "Yeah I know. The waves crashing as the stars pass by sounds peaceful." "And romantic, " damnit I said another stupid thing. "Goten is there something you want to tell me?" "Nope, not a thing, " I lied; that's twice today. "Whatever..., " his voice trailed off and he plops himself on the ground. I just stand there and look at him. His body is perfect in many ways that it is hard to explain. Even though I only found out today my true feeling I believe that I've always loved him and I think I will always love him. I bow my head down; I have to say something before I break my own heart. "Uh, Trunks?" "Yeah?" as he turned his head towards me. "Nevermind, " It's so damn hard, how come I cant do it? I realized that I didn't want to ruin my friendship, something I've had so long and loved so much. If he reacts to my confession in a bad way it could be the end of my friendship, but if I don't release my feelings it could be much worse than a sour friendship. I have to take my chances; life is full of many risks and this is just one of them. Here I go. "Trunks." "Yes?" I begin walking towards him so that he can hear me better. I feel something stub my toe and I fall on top of Trunks. What a way to be. My body begins tingling as I feel the heat of his body whip across mine. "Sorry about that." "Goten is your body shaking?" No more lieing, I have to tell him. "Um, Trunks you see I have a confe..." I was interuppted by Trunks lips pressing sweetly against mine. At that moment I couldn't hear anything; there was no ocean crashing, no birds, or crickets. Just our breathing as we fell into a deep kiss. Our mouths opened for each others and all around us was still; it was as if time had stopped in its tracks to make this wonderful kiss last longer. As our tounges clashed against each other all I could think about was Trunks, the future, and that I was really suprised. |
