December Groom

December 3rd

I woke up beside Trunks and didn't have any recollection of how I ended up like this. When I last checked I had my shirt on and pants too.

How did I end up with only boxers on?

I managed to call myself remembering that I had noticed this last night. But something still bothers me. My mind finally figured it out and I all but yelled it out loud.

Wait! These are Trunks'! Where the hell are mine!?

I got up to fast and ended up getting light headed as I all but jumped from the bed to find my clothes. I was in the middle of searching for any piece of my clothing when I heard a voice from behind me.

"You flooded the bathroom, and soaked your clothes. I decided to get you out of those things so you didn't catch pneumonia. I also decided that leaving you without anything on would be weird, so I put some of my underwear on you. Does that answer any questions?"

"Yeah it does. Thanks Trunks. Sorry about the bathroom" I said looking at the floor.

"It's okay Chibi. It was an old faucet. It bound to happen eventually. Now come back in bed. You're cold" he said patting the mattress.

I hadn't noticed it until that point but I had goosebumps all over my body and was slightly shivering. Damn you poor insulation.

I walked back over to the bed and climbed under the blankets quickly. I always hated the cold, it's like it affects me more than anyone else. I curled up into a ball and just tried to warm up.

"Chibi, you're so adorable"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the way you curl yourself up into a ball is just cute. Everything about you is cute"

Most people would think he was hitting on me, but this isn't the first time he's called me cute. It's actually how most of my relationships start. I do or say something that they see as cute and they start to fawn over me. I don't get it though. He is just my friend giving me a compliment, was that so wrong?

"Oh, thanks Trunks" I said trying to find the right words.

Even if he was just my friend giving me a compliment, I still am in love with him. No matter how many times I try to convince myself that he is just being my friend, part of me thinks he returns my feelings. But then I remember he is straighter than a square and my hopes die a little.

"Hey Goten, wanna do something tomorrow?"

"Like what?"

"I dunno, you choose" he said with a smile.

I noticed something at this moment. He was only in his boxers too. If I were crazy, I would've jumped on him and made him mine, but I'm not crazy and I know he doesn't like me like that.

"Okay Trunks. I have to head home now though, my mom is probably worried sick about me" I said once again leaving the warm comfort of the bed.

"Your clothes should be done, but you can wear some of mine home" Trunks said with a smile.

I took a pair of his jeans, a t-shirt and one of his sweatshirts. I thanked him again and started off for the journey home. Once I got home, I got lectured by my mom and sent to my room.

I can hear my mom yelling as she slowly ascends the stairs. I have to go now. I'll tell you how everything goes tomorrow.
