The Foreign Transfer

Chapter 12

You were frozen, like an icicle, when Goten kissed your lips. They were soft and warm, and when he leaned away, your eyes opened in a daze of confusion.

(Goten...kissed me...he loves me...)

Slowly, your face radiated with heat. You averted your eyes, "um! Goten, what do you mean, you love me?! D-don't say such things!"

"You don't believe me?" He quietly asked, tilting your chin up with his finger. "I'd do anything for you, Yin. Even if it cost me my life."

"..." You looked from one of his eyes to the other. He was serious. Slowly, you embraced him, hiding to his neck. "Thank you. I can't believe you feel this way for me. I don't know what to say, Goten."

"It's fine! But, you know, I get that you love Trunks. I just wanted to get that off my chest. Boy, do I feel a lot better!" He chuckled.

"S-stupid!" You swat his arm. "Oh!"

From afar, you saw Trunks across the street. He'd just witnessed Goten kissing you, and you hugging him. Trunks dipped his head and turned around. With a single jump he was gone from sight.

"Trunks!" You shouted, dashing across the street to follow him. A loud, blaring noise caught your attention. It was a bus headed right for you. Like a deer you froze, unable to react.

A blur caught you, just as the bus screeched to a halt. Your eyes opened to see Goten cradling you to his chest. "Whew, that was a close one," he said.

"How did—oh, those powers...but! Trunks! He saw us, he thinks I'm cheating! Goten, we have to follow him!" You said.

Goten didn't move.

"Goten? Trunks thinks—"

"—let's let him cool off first. Trust me, you don't want to see him right now." Goten replied. After sitting you down, Goten shut his eyes. "He's not even hiding his ki."

"Ki? What is...ki?"

Goten examined your face. "Let's talk...at my house. I'll explain things there."

Trunks had ran out of boulders to blast. He settled on cliffs, blowing them sky high one after another. Goten had confessed, and kissed his beautiful girlfriend.

She hadn't pushed him away.

The way her eyes had shut and fluttered open, staring at him in a daze, had made Trunks realize that she was, in fact, in love with Goten.

(I can't believe this! She was my girlfriend! And Goten went and—)

Trunks raged on, obliterating the sandy environment into nothing but sand and pebbles. He'd been beaten by his best friend.

His teal eyes burned with anger.

(I can't erase how I feel for her. Tch!)

He imagined her smile, all the times they'd shared, and recalled the danger of Estelle.

If nothing else, Trunks would keep her safe.

Goten had just explained what saiyans were and why he and Trunks were half-saiyans.

Your eyes widened. "I see! Wow, you're really aliens? Form a...warrior race? That's so cool!"

He grinned and nodded. "Right? But we have to keep it secret. We don't want anyone to know, because they'd want to do research and stuff on us."

You were sitting at Goten's desk in his room, having came through the window. His room was neat and tidy, and pretty small. It gave you the impression that his family lived a simple life.
