Summary: The sequel to thoughts, from Goten's POV.

Revelations

I don't know when it happened, but somewhere along the years, I fell in love with my best friend. I didn't realise my feelings for Trunks until last year, when another psycho alien tried to destroy/conquer the Earth. Trunks got hurt really bad part way into the battle and all I could do was hold him and hope to Dende that the 'guy I love' die.

Then I kinda freaked when I realised I'd said - well, thought, really - that I loved Trunks. I reached deep on down, which sounds so cliché, and searched my soul. And then I realised that I'd been in love with Trunks since I was five! And I accepted that. Unlike a certain Saiyan prince I could mention, who seriously needs to bend over and let somebody pull that stick out his ass. He is totally in love with my Dad, but, like the stubborn mule that he is, he refuses to admit it, to himself or anyone else.

I sigh, and shift a little. And the whole thing with Gohan? I snort. Riiiight, sure he loves Videl. How could anybody love her? She is seriously freaky, and a lot like Relena from Gundam Wing. Stalkerly and possessive. And she won't let Gohan fight and acts a lot like my Mom. Gohan does not love Videl. I've seen the way he looks at Piccolo when he thinks nobody's looking. And I've seen Piccolo do the same to Gohan, too. And I know you're thinking, Gohan and Piccolo? That is so weird! And I just gotta say that true love is blind. It cares nothing for status or social position or looks or age or gender or anything else.

And it made me fall in love with Trunks. Well, there are a lot of really good things about Trunks. His lavender hair, his gorgeous blue-green eyes, those artistic hands, the way he moves, that rakishly devastating little smirk that so enfuriates and turns me on at the same time.

Yeah, Trunks is a good-looking guy, but he's so much more than a pretty face and perfect body. He's kind and sensative - though he may not seem it at first - and he's really sweet, and a total romantic at heart. He's also laid back and self-confident, and, yeah, a little arrogant at times, but then, he is Vegeta's son. I've never met another person that fit me as well as he does.

I'd do anything for Trunks, and boy does he exploit that. But he'd do anything for me, too.

I suddenly realise that Trunks hasn't spoken in ages, neither have I, either, but he'll probably think I'm just absorbed in the anime that's on TV.

I turn around, and my heart melts. Trunks looks so… sad. And despairing. Like he has a problem and doesn't know what to do about it. I bite my lip and put on the typical Son grin, only with a little concern etched in, and spoke.

"Trunks, are you okay?" Trunks blinks suddenly, and looks a little startled.

"What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine Goten," said Trunks.

"You sure? You seem awful preoccupied," I said softly, looking up into the shimmering depths of his eyes.

"I'm sure, Goten. Don't worry," he said, giving me a small smile.

I stared at him for a second, before turning back to the TV. Trunks is not okay. And I'm going to find out what's wrong, even if it kills me.
