*****
I see the crystal raindrops fall
And see the beauty of it all
I glanced at my pupil out of the corner of my eye, watching him as he lay back on the soft grass, allowing himself to rest a little after our spar. He never relaxed completely. Not that I blame him, though; with the androids lurking about, no one could fully let their guard down. I watched as his crystal blue eyes closed in content, his mind satisfied with his recent progress.
He had beautiful eyes.
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
I had never really thought about it before (okay, so I had…), but everything about Trunks was beautiful. Everything he did was with a natural grace inherited from his royal father. I permitted my eyes to wander down his body, taking in his petite yet muscular frame.
“Gohan?”
I blinked rapidly, noticing that this lavender haired prince was talking to me.
“Gohan?” he repeated. “Are you okay?”
“Uh, yeah, Trunks. I was just thinking…about the androids…yeah…”
“Oh.”
When I think of you some time
And I want to spend some time with you
He shifted so that he was turned on his side, his chin resting in his hand, his elbow on the grass. He gazed at me with those expressive azure eyes.
“Do you think we can beat them? I mean, they’re so strong. Every time we go to battle, they always defeat us.”
“I know, Trunks. But don’t worry. We can do it.”
“But it’s just the two of us, Gohan!”
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
I smiled, his words sparking a memory in the depths of my mind. “Isn’t that a song?”
“What?” Trunks blinked, obviously having never heard the song I was speaking of.
“‘Just the Two of Us’…you know…’just the two of us…we can make it if we try…’ …You have no idea what I’m talking about, do you?”
The blank expression on Trunks’ face was more than enough answer to my question. I smiled again.
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
“Dude, you’re just old. I’ve never heard that song before,” he said.
I laughed softly and he grinned, showing his perfect teeth. My laughter trailed off and my smile grew wider, taking in the angel before me. It was so rare that I saw Trunks show a genuine smile, that I’d forgotten how it could light up his face, accentuating his already handsome features.
You and I
“Gohan?”
My brain just barely registered his soft call, and I shook my head, clearing it of all thoughts. Now was not the time to live in a fantasy world. I had a planet to protect, a student to train.
“Gohan? You’ve been spacing out all day. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, Trunks. Don’t worry about it.”
“Aw, come on! You can tell me. What, do you think I’m too young to understand? Honestly, Gohan, I’m not a kid anymore.”
He had a point. In this world it was tough for anyone to have a childhood. Every child had to grow up so fast. That was one of the main reasons I fight–to give children a chance to enjoy being a kid, especially Trunks. I knew I couldn’t take back what the androids had done, but if I could just defeat those mechanical monsters, then maybe I’d be able to see that smile brighten his face more often.
“Gohan…you’re doing it again. I’m really worried about you.”
“I’m fine, really.”
I watched as his eyebrows knit in frustration, his lower lip sticking out in a slight pout. He looked so damn cute! Then I noticed a flicker of inspiration appear in his eyes for a fraction of a second before those sapphire orbs began to brim with tears.
We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted waters’s all that is
“Trunks?”
A single tear dropped down his cheek, and I realized that he was using his ability to cry on command to get me to tell him my secret. I smiled mentally at his cleverness. I looked on as his bottom lip pushed out further, his eyes growing shinier with more tears, his nose twitching with every sniff.
“That look won’t work on me, Trunks,” I said, both of us knowing very well that the statement was a lie.
And it don’t make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
I tried to tear my eyes away from his, the cerulean irises chibifying even more with every passing second, but to no avail. My eyes were glued to his face, part of me not ever wanting to look away.
“Will you tell me what’s wrong, Gohan?”
I bit my lip, stifling the urge to chuckle at his tiny voice, and shook my head from side to side. “I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
The sadness in his eyes vanished and he sighed. He wiped his eyes with his sleeves and stared up at me for a moment. Slowly, a smirk crept onto his face, a mischievous glint growing in his eyes. He sat up and crawled over to me, closing the small distance between us. Suddenly, our faces were just mere inches apart.
Not to those who wait too late
We got to go for all we know
“Please, Gohan…” he whispered, his breath tickling my face.
I repressed a blush as I noticed that his voice had dropped an octave. I searched his eyes for a hint of what he was scheming, but I found nothing. He could mask his emotions as well as Vegeta.
“Trunks…”
Whatever it was that I had planed to say vanished from my thoughts, as I became aware of a touch on my leg. I glanced down and realized that his fingertips were stroking my right thigh. I felt a warmth blossom in my groin and thanked the gods that I was wearing my baggy training gi.
“Come on, Gohan. It’s just the two of us…”
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
I swallowed. Just the two of us. Kami, I’ll never be able to get that song out of my head now. Trunks moved his face closer, the tip of his nose touching mine, his silky hair brushing against my cheeks. His eyes were half-lidded with…lust? No, it can’t be. It must be my imagination…
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
His hand stilled, and his smirk turning into a sexy smile. A very sexy smile. When did he learn to do this? He closed the already tiny gap between us and pressed his lips to mine. They were soft, just as they had been in my dreams. When his tongue slipped out of his mouth to lick my lips, I gladly parted them, allowing him entrance.
You and I
Our tongues wrestled, battling for dominance. I lifted my hand, hesitantly at first, to comb my fingers through his hair. A low moan escaped his throat, and suddenly my loose pants became a little too confining.
All too soon, Trunks withdrew his tongue, much to my dismay. He must have noticed because he chuckled softly to himself. He kissed me again, tenderly, and began nipping and sucking on my lower lip. His hand, which had been resting patiently on my thigh, started to move again. He caressed my leg, his fingertips lightly brushing over the material, tickling the sensitive flesh underneath.
I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
He pulled away from me, his hand still stroking my thigh, his lips curling into that sexy smile again.
“Will you tell me now?” he asked, his voice husky.
I opened my mouth to reply, but no words came out. The sensations from that kiss were still fresh in my mind…and in my pants. I glanced down, hoping that my erection wasn’t very obvious.
It was.
Well, maybe Trunks wouldn’t notice.
“Well, it looks like someone’s a little happy, ne?”
Damn!
I laughed nervously, shifting in a vain attempt to cover it up. The corners of Trunks’ mouth twitched upward, and he bit his lip to stifle his snickers. I felt my cheeks burning and knew I was blushing furiously. The sight caused Trunks’ shoulders to shake with repressed laughter.
And it becomes the morning dew
Darling, when the morning comes
After Trunks had calmed down a considerable amount and my embarrassment had faded, he focused his gorgeous blue eyes on me and titled his head to the side. He grinned sheepishly, his cheeks turning a pinkish hue.
“Uh, Gohan? Would you mind if I…took care of that for you…?”
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you
My eyebrows arched in utter shock at his question. Did he just ask me…what I think he just asked me…?
“Trunks…”
He scooted closer to me, his hand returning to my leg and wandering farther and farther up my thigh. His fingers brushed against the tip of my erection, the contact still felt through the cloth. I shivered at his touch.
“Trunks,” I said again, “I…”
“…don’t want me to…?”
“No! I mean, I…” I trailed off, trying to find the best way to phrase my emotions. “I don’t know how to say this…”
“Just tell me what you feel,” he said, a hopeful look in his eyes.
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
I took a deep breath, exhaling as a sigh, and collected my thoughts. “Trunks…the reason I’ve been spacing out is because…I’ve been thinking about you. You’re always on my mind. I guess…I love you, Trunks.”
The wide grin that spread across his face made my heart melt. I had never seen him so happy before. He reached up, wrapped his arms me, and buried his face in my neck.
Just the two of us
Building big castles way on high
Just the two of us
“I love you too, Gohan,” he muttered.
I placed my arm around his slender waist and squeezed him closer to me. The chorus of that old song ran through my head and I smiled. Just the two of us…
You and I
