"Trunks’s First Kiss" Eight year old Trunks grinned and lowered his chi as he climbed into the old rotten log. This was the perfect spot to hide from Goten. He just knew it. Goten’s desert was as good as his. He silently commended himself for coming up with the idea of playing hide and go seek until they were called in for supper, and the last one left as tagger gave the winner their portion of desert. It was a foolproof plan. Goten was a great warrior, but he still had a bit to learn about chi manipulation, and Trunks could see right through all of his attempts to hide his chi. Goten huffed and plopped down on a log. He couldn’t believe he had allowed Trunks to talk him into this. The older boy was always tricking him. It was just not fair. Trunks was brought out of his triumph by the faint sound of crying and screaming. He wondered if maybe he should let Goten off the hook, but then he remembered that crying and screaming was one of Goten’s oldest ploys. However, further listening pointed out that this was not Goten’s voice, and the yells were quickly becoming gargled. They sounded like cries for help. Trunks decided to wander out of his hiding spot and check it out. He quickly followed it to the river where a girl with a long chestnut braid could be seen struggling in the river. She appeared to be caught by an undercurrent. Trunks quickly threw off his shirt and dove in to her rescue. The girl coughed and sputtered, quickly being pulled completely under when Trunks grabbed her and flew out of the water, landing on the shore aside. Trunks now realized that this was not a girl at all but a boy with very long hair. He thought it odd. His kaa’san(mother) and tousan(father) had always said that really long hair was for girls. Trunks shrugged it off as he sat the coughing boy on his feet. The boy coughed and spit up a bit of water before looking up at him with large violet tinted eyes. He was clad all in black. Goten had almost completely given up on finding Trunks when he heard a bunch of coughing and spewing. He snuck over quietly and hid behind the very log that Trunks had previously been hiding in so as not to alert Trunks to the fact Goten now had his position. That was when he saw it... "You ok?" Trunks looked at the boy before him. "You saved my life. My name is Solo. What’s yours?" "Trunks, Trunks Brie..." Trunks was broken off when the boy suddenly leaned forward and kissed him full on the lips. Trunks’s eyes widened as did Goten’s from his hiding spot behind the log. Trunks had been kissed many times by his kaa’san, but somehow, this was different. It was more like how he saw his father kissing his mother when he thought Trunks wasn’t around. It was brief, but seemed to speak volumes. He just stood there, his mouth slightly agape, a large blush spreading across his cheeks. "Solo-chan!!!" a voice yelled from somewhere off to the left. The boy smiled at Trunks and nodded slightly, his violet eyes twinkling before he took off into the trees towards where the call had come from. Goten wasn’t quite sure *what* had just happened, but he felt kind of curious about the whole thing. He stood up from behind the log and tagged Trunks. "You’re it!" Trunks just stood there, still staring off to where the boy had exited. "Did you hear me, Trunks-kun?! I said, 'You’re it!'!" Trunks blinked a few times and looked over at Goten, his eyes suddenly narrowing as he jumped back in surprise. "G-Goten, h-how long have you been here?" Goten looked up at Trunks, blinking innocently with his big brown eyes. "Trunks-kun?" "W-what?" "Are boys allowed to kiss boys like that?" *blink blink* Trunks couldn’t believe his ears as his entire face went red and he fell over. Goten quickly kneeled down to his new level, worry evident on his face. "You ok, Trunks-kun?" "Goten, you can’t repeat what you just saw to anyone." "Ok Trunks, but... What was it like?" If it was at all possible Trunks was now an even deeper shade of crimson. "It was... ummm... What are you talking about, Goten? Gohan-san kisses you like that all the time." "Not like that... That was different, Trunks. Gohan’s my brother. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that boy before. So, I doubt he was related to you." Trunks was totally sweat-dropping now. He had no clue *how* he was going to explain this to Goten. HFIL, he needed someone to explain it to *him*. He wasn’t even sure what he was feeling. "Well, Trunks-kun?" *blink blink* "It was... It was... ...really gross, Goten! It’s bad enough when my kaa’san insists on kissing me. That stuff is for girls." "But Trunks, I’ve seen your tousan kiss your mom like that, and he’s not a girl. I would never even dare comparing him to one." Goten had him there. He could feel a drop of sweat trickle down the side of his face. There was no way he could let on that he had *liked* this kiss. Besides, he seriously doubted he could find the words to describe how it had really felt or the new thoughts it seemed to awaken in his mind. His eyes caressed slowly along Goten’s bottom lip before he forced himself to look away completely, pretending to watch a bug on the ground behind him. Goten looked over at it as well. Trunks just couldn’t believe this. A mere fifteen or so minutes ago he had been focused on what he was having for desert and how much, and now, here he was thinking about kissing. "Umm... Goten... I simply meant that kissing boys and getting kisses from your mommy is for girls... Aw never mind, you’re too dumb to understand grownup stuff like this anyway." Goten’s little nose scrunched up in slight annoyance. "Hey Trunks!!! I am *not* dumb! ...Hey, so you’re saying it wouldn’t have been gross with a girl?" A look of true disgust passed over Trunks’s face. "Of course it would be gross! It would be twice as gross! Girls have cooties!" Goten blinked in confusion and scratched his head. (He does that a lot. ^_^’) "But Trunks... Your dad doesn’t seem to think it’s gross, and I like it when my mommy kisses *me*." "That’s cause you’re just a sissy, Goten." "Am not!" "Are too!" "Am not!!! Take it back, Trunks!" Trunks grinned, poising himself in fighting stance. "Make me, Goten." That’s when they heard it... "TRUNKS-KUN, GOTEN-CHAN!!! DINNER!!!" ...and all thoughts of kissing were forgotten as the boys sped back to the Son house for supper. ~~~~~ Wow, what a mushy, sappy load of fluff. *sweatdrops* Feedback onegai? Any guesses on what character Solo is not so loosely based on? ^_^ Laters, plude http://plude.iwarp.com "Only *dead* fish always go downstream" "The best way to a man’s heart is with a broadsword."
