Welcome to Boxer & Rice

I’m alone again. Not really actually. Everyone is still here, but yet, they’re not.
My father is still bickering with mom in one corner. And Bra and Uub are playing games with Marron and Pan. Everyone is busy. Even Goten, my best friend.
I have never felt so lonely before. Because this is the first day I’m not really alone.

I laugh. No one hears me. Off course not. Why would they listen to me?
I really hate this day. I hate parties too. You always have to act nice and now… Now I’m not nice. I’m sad.
Damn I hate this. This has never happened before. That I’m so lonely.
And I don’t even know why…

I’m walking over to my grandfather. He waves me off while he’s chatting with Chi-Chi. Master Roshi is next. He’s reading some porn. Figures.
I pass everyone I know. And everyone ignores me. I should have know. I’m being ignored on these events since my sister was born.

I walk circles now. And when everything is spinning I fall down. I have changed.
I’m not the cocky brat anymore. Not the arrogant pranker. I don’t know why or how.
I have changed, some say for the better, and I’m ignored because of it.
Why?

A shadow looms over me. I look up to find Gohan looking at me. He’s watching me quizially. I wonder why. He looks like he wants to say something, but then a voice makes him whirl around.
It’s Chi-Chi. Figures.
I know he’ll walk away now so I stand up, brush off my pants and walk away myself.

I’m still wondering. Should I turn back into who I was before? Or should I just stay like I am? I don’t know.
I just don’t want to be lonely anymore.
I sigh. Then, a hand grabs my shoulder and turns me around. I look up into the most amazing black eyes I’ve ever seen.
Then, without warning, my lips crash with his.

I’m not lonely anymore. Not at all.
I’m with Gohan now and he’s amazing. I still wonder how Videl could divorce such a guy. He says I’ve changed in a good way. And when I did he noticed me. Really noticed me.
So now we’re together.
This night, I tell him how I felt lonely on the first day of our relationship.
And you know what he says?
He says: “The most loneliest day of your life, Trunks, with me alongside you, you’ll survive.”
So corny, don’t you think?
I laugh and go back to sleep. And when I feel his hand sneak past me to hold me I think: ‘Maybe I’m not so lonely anymore.’
