I don’t know what this urge is, but lately, whenever I’m around him I get this urge to touch him my finger tips tingle the closer I get to touching his soft black and wildly untamed hair. I always pull back, I stop myself and shove this ridiculous need down into the farthest depths of my being. I’m not supposed to feel like this! He’s my best friend, he has been all my life but…am I just confusing this feeling I have for friendship? It’s the only logical explanation…at least that’s what I thought until I started hearing the voices in my head every time we were alone together telling me to touch him, to mark him as mine before it was too late, before he found another…I don’t know what it means, before he finds another friend? No…no matter how much I wish that’s what it meant I know it’s not…that’s why it’s so hard for me to tell him, because I know I love him-I know! I don’t want to risk ruining my friendship with him for love if friendship is all he’s willing to give but I know I have to tell him soon. Every time I’m with him it gets harder and harder to keep up my neutral façade I always find it slipping at the most inconvenient times. When did I start feeling like this? I really can’t remember…it doesn’t really matter I should tell him soon before it gets too hard (no pun intended).

Goten’s POV—

He’s been acting strange lately, especially when we’re alone. I can sense it more than anything. I don’t think he knows I saw him once almost actually pet my hair. I got Goosebumps that day and thought a lot, in fact, after so much thinking my head hurt! I came to the conclusion that I wouldn’t have minded if he did touch me, he is my best friend, something inside me just didn’t feel strange when I thought about him touching me, it actually made me feel a strange tingling in my stomach, I thought it was hunger so I went downstairs to get something to eat. I’m on my way to his house now; maybe we’ll spar today.

Trunk’s POV—

"I’m really hungry!"

I announce to no one in particular as I rummage through the refrigerator for something to munch before Goten made his way here. I grabbed a hot dog and threw it in the automatic cooker for a few seconds, it must have been a few seconds too many because when I took it out it was all split on the ends. I was about to throw it away when I heard some one scream "Oh my god, what are you going to do with that hotdog!?"

I look up to see Goten looking at me with wide eyes then looking at the hotdog then accusingly back to me.

"It’s burned, I’m throwing it away."

I tell him matter of factly. He gives me another ‘Are you nuts?’ glares and then before I can blink he’s in front of me and grabs the hotdog with a cheery look.

"I’ll eat it then it’s only burned a little."

He says as he starts licking the flavor off the top. I shiver as I watch his tongue slide over the tip of the hotdog and I feel a familiar sensation starting in my groin and close my eyes to fight against it. My body is traitorous it always does this! Luckily by the time I open my eyes again he’s just finishing it. Now that I think about it he never usually eats so slowly, does he know the effect he has on me? I look at him and he seems to shake himself out of some kind of dream and looks up at me and says

"Instead of sparring you want to go out and have some fun in town? We can go to a bar or something."

"For once Goten I think you have a good idea! Let’s go I’ll pay!"

We walk out the door and I decide it would be a better idea to take the car instead of flying since we’re going into town, so I get into the driver’s seat and start the car as Goten gets into the passengers seat beside me and we take off toward the city.

Goten’s POV—

We pulled up in front of a tavern and went in. It was one of the better bars around so we sat at a table as a skimpily dressed waitress comes over to our table and takes our drink orders. Trunks orders a Long Island ice tea and I order a water (alcohol tends to make me sick.). We sit there and listen to people singing Karaoke and after a few more "iced teas" Trunks gets up suddenly and stumble up to the stage after telling me in a low voice he’s gonna sing me a song. I blush at hearing the way he said it and watched as he told them what he wanted to sing. Once Trunks was at the microphone he looked into my eyes as the music started, the look in his eyes made that tingling in my stomach even stronger than before. Trunks started to sing the song lowly at first and then his voice rises as his eyes lock with mine.

		"There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day (Oh a sunny day)
Now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I am (Oh where I am)

I used to thank the Lord when I awake
For laughing, loving, and the golden sky above me
Now I pray the stars will go on shining
You see in my dreams you're by me

Daybreak is joyful time
Listen to the songbird harmonies (Oh the harmonies)
I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees (Oh in the trees)

If only I could stay asleep
...Pretend you're thinking of me
‘Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy
You see In My Dreams

We climb and climb
And at the top we fly
And the world go on below us
We are lost in time
And I don't know really what it is
All I know is that you love me
In My Dreams

I keep hoping one day I'll awaken
And somehow she'll be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breaking
You touche me and suddenly I'm alive

And we climb and climb
And at the top we fly
And the world go on below us
We are lost in time
And I don't know really what it is
All I know is that you love me
In My Dreams

We climb
And at the top we fly
And the world goes on below us
We are lost in time
And I don't know really what it is
All I know is that you love me
In My Dreams
Only In My Dreams"


Goten never broke eye contact with his drunken friend the whole time he sang and he finally 

understood what the tingling in his stomach was. ‘I love Trunks’ I know it  now and I think he loves me…

I was suddenly stuck out of my thought as I felt warm lips against mine, my eyes flew open to see Trunk’s 

face right in front of mine and his soft, swollen lips pressed lightly to my own as his lips massaged mine and his

 tongue asked for entrance and I opened my mouth slightly as he slid his tongue in and played with mine and

 slowly I responded tapping and sucking gently on his tongue. The kiss seemed to go on forever, and when

 Trunks finally pulled away it was only because he needed a breath. I look at his scared face knowing he

expects me to reject him for his feelings and after a moment he looks up at me uncertainly.

      "I love you too." 
I say this simply and he smiles up at me drunkenly and sets his head in my lap half hugging me 

and there he passes out. 

 "You sure know how to say I love you Tru-chan."

I tell him as I take him out to the car to wait for his arrival back into the conscious world.
