"Blackmailed" Prologue
Trunks flew quickly towards Goten’s house, memories flowing through his brain. It had all
started a month ago when they had a three day weekend for a teacher conference at school.
Trunks had begged his mom to spend the night at Goten’s house and she consented. It was a
fun filled night of popcorn, movies, and wrestling on a big mat in front of the tv, trying
to pin one another. It was always fun to stay with Goten. They were up till about three
when Trunks finally pinned Goten under a huge stack of pillows. "Tom and Huck" was the
movie playing. Trunks specifically remembered because that movie reminded him a lot of him
and Goten and how much trouble they seemed to always get in. He looked up at it and grinned
before hopping off of Goten, wondering why he wasn’t struggling. He threw off all of the
pillows to discover Goten had fallen asleep. Trunks snorted slightly. This was so typical.
That’s when *it* happened.
Goten took in air, anxiously awaiting Trunk’s arrival at his house. His thoughts drifted
back to *that* night. He remembered Trunks and him wrestled for hours, and he was
exhausted. When Trunks pinned him under a huge stack of pillows he figured he would just
take a nap till Trunks decided to get off of him. The next thing he remembered was waking
up to a slight snort almost giggle from Trunks. He figured it might be funny to pretend he
was still asleep and then jump up suddenly just as Trunks was dozing off and scare him. He
never expected what happened next. Suddenly, he could feel warm soft fingers in his hair
and feather like touches on his face. It distinctly felt like the battle callouses on
Trunk’s right hand softly stroking his cheek. He wasn’t sure what was going on so he just
continued to feign sleep, now very curious. This strange behavior continued for a good half
hour, and Goten silently felt thankful for all the exercises he had done in meditation that
helped him keep his breathing steady and still sound asleep. Somewhere in the process of
the thirty minutes Trunks had moved his left hand from Goten’s soft black hair down to
intertwine his fingers with Goten’s. Goten swore he must be blushing in confusion but
apparently he wasn’t for Trunks still seemed to think he was asleep. That was when he felt
the gentle caress of soft lips brushing his own. It had to have been pretty dark for Trunks
not to notice the deep blush on his cheeks. Trunks pulled away completely, suddenly and
whispered to himself...
"He would never want me... This is wrong."
Trunks had felt his heart in his throat when Goten had called him this morning saying they
needed to have a talk in a very serious voice. He wondered what was wrong, and when Goten
referred back to *that* night he thought he would die. His eyes filled with tears, and he
found it hard to breath as Goten had said that he was awake the whole time. Trunks hadn’t
said anything but had silently thanked all the Gods that Goten had brought this up over the
phone and not face to face. However, what Goten had said next totally shocked him. Goten
told Trunks that he had been thinking about it all month and he wanted to try that again
when he was actually awake and could move. A bright grin spread across Trunk’s cheeks as he
excitedly told Goten he would be right over and squeezed the phone hard enough to break it
before speeding out the window.
The arrival at Goten’s window was a bit awkward. Trunks floated there in the air tapping
and getting more red in the cheeks by the second. Goten had a color to match his.
"Uhh... Hi..."
Trunks had never saying hello to be so difficult, forcing out the word hi seemed to take
every ounce of his strength.
"Hi... Umm.. Are you going to come in?"
Trunks sweat-dropped, he knew he was forgetting something. He gingerly opened the window
and floated through, shutting it behind him and landing a few feet in front of Goten.
"N-now what?"
"Well... you started this..."
"That was different... You were asleep... I mean... umm... uhh..."
Goten cut Trunks off by leaning forward to place a soft kiss on his warm soft lips. Goten
pulled back as quickly as he had ascended.
"Did I do it right?"
"How the hell should *I* know..."
"Well you..."
"I k-know.. I started it..."
"Well you did... Did it feel right?"
"What’s right?"
"Did it feel good?"
"Hai... very good... Can we do it again?"
Goten nodded enthusiasically and leaned forward as the door burst open to reveal a very
excited Gohan.
"Hey Guys, who wants to go get ice cream?!"
Trunks fell over, he swore he could feel his heart in his throat at how close they were to
getting caught. Goten, never being one to pass up ice cream, or any food for that matter
other than broccoli, jumped up and down excitedly.
"Yay!!! We get ice cream! This day just keeps getting better!"
Trunks sweat-dropped, and they all headed out for ice cream.
