Welcome to Boxer & Rice

I thought you’d be out of my mind And I’d finally found a way
To learn to live without you

I thought it was just a matter of time
Till I had a hundred reasons Not to think about you,

but it’s just not so After all this time I still can’t let go

I’ve still got your face painted on my heart
Drawn upon my soul Etched upon my memory, baby
And I’ve got your kiss still burning on my lips
Your touch on my fingertips This love so deep inside of me baby
I’ve tried everything that I can To get my heart to forget you
But it just can’t seem to Guess it’s just no use
In every part of me there’s still a part of you
Something in your eyes keeps haunting me
And I try to escape you And I know there’s just no way to
No way to chase you from my mind (Song is not mine comes from the movie “Gone in 60 seconds”)

After Gohan left with Piccolo, Bulma found Tora who looked over at her expectantly for answers. “Is everything alright?” He asked.

“Everything will be fine.” Bulma assured her other son. For a few seconds she felt a bit of sorrow that she hadn’t been able to spend as much time with this one. He seemed so restless at times, something that only his mother would probably understand. “There is something I wanted to talk to you about though.” She said.

“What is it?” Tora asked.

She looked embarrassed. “I don’t mean to pry but have you ever tried to work out those fantasies of yours?” He looked at her as if confused. She held up a marble and put it on the device he had seen her confiscate from 17 a few minutes earlier. She wasn’t unhappy about the fact he figured out a way to use it as much as she seemed embarrassed that somebody had found it, and was able to use it in a way she never would have thought would work.

Apparently 17 had gotten Bra and Marron to ask questions and get people to open the jar; himself included, after they had asked that person questions. He felt a little embarrassed that his younger mother had seen those fantasies but she didn’t seem upset. “No.” He responded “Never had the time or the opportunity. Besides there isn’t too many people I share that side of myself with. It is a little- unusual.”

“Not as unusual as you would think but I doubt there would be many of establishments around where you come from left that would cater to that.” Said Bulma. “At least not in plan view to the rest of society.”

“You’re probably right. Are there any of those establishments around here?”

“I think we can work something out for you.” Said Bulma. She had a rather interesting look, and obviously she was planning something very devious. There was even a very unnerving smile that plainly proclaimed “I have a plan and you are involved.” Yet he lacked the wisdom of his mother’s friends who knew the true horrors of that smile. “Stay here I have an idea.”

“Okay.” Said Tora obviously in the dark of what was going on. Bulma left the room.

‘If I am right about all this, then Tora feels the same way about both Gohans as they feel for him. If that is true I have an idea that will give them the chance to discuss how they feel about all that.’ But first she had to have a talk with Gohan.

******************************************************************************

Twenty minutes of plotting and action later. Tora found himself in what seemed to be a makeshift dungeon with the door locked behind him. Oddly enough it was Vegeta that shoved him in here and told him not to leave that everything would become clear shortly. ‘Uh huh, yeah right, dad.’ Tora looked around the room. Trying to remain calm, this place was amazing and trying not to get hard just thinking about the things he heard about were done in places like this was difficult enough. ‘I may need professional help.’ He thought to himself, surely this kind of thing was not considered NORMAL, ‘but then again what is normal?’ part of his mind pointed out. It was true after every thing he and done he probably could be considered part of regular society could he? There was a sound someone else was coming into the room. When the other man entered, Tora blinked in surprise. The person standing before him had the body of a god, slim, toned, and commanding. He felt himself grow hard at the very thought of what such a creature could do to him, his excitement growing with his anticipation. For a moment, no words were exchanged between the two. Tora merely stared at him, his eyes lingering momentarily on the bare chest, finely chiseled and tan, and the strong, defined arms. As Tora’s gaze met that of the other man, he suddenly felt a ripple of pleasure shoot up his spine.

‘Bulma what have you gotten me into now?’ Mirai thought to himself, but he settled into his role.

“Rule number one: You will kneel in my presence unless instructed to do otherwise.”Tora seemed a little surprised but obeyed him.

“Rule number two: When you are spoken to, you will obey me without question and will answer with ‘Yes, Master’.” Mirai paused this was going to get harder he knew, but this was his beloved’s fantasy and if it could help…he made a slight swallow he would see this charade to it’s ending for Tora’s pleasure and maybe even his own.

“Rule number three: Your body now belongs to me, and it is mine to do with as I choose;” -‘I am not turning into a monster these are the rules. I am not becoming him. I am not.’ Mirai reminded himself as he spoke.- “that means you will not hide yourself from me. However, I will always be mindful of your health and well being.

Rule number four: You will respect me, but you will not fear me. You are free to ask anything of me or tell me anything. I want to know what you require, what you desire.
Rule number Five: When you use your safe word, you will be given absolute control.
Rule number Six: I will strive to be patient with you as you learn how best to serve me.
Rule number Seven: Although you serve me, you still have a sense of self and your own needs that require fulfilling.
Rule number Eight: As your master, I know what is best for you and will push you into things as I see fit.” Mirai paused to take a small gauge of Tora’s reaction so far so good. He produced a black leather studded collar.

“Rule number Nine: You will wear your collar in my presence to symbolize that I am your master and you are my pet.
Rule number Ten: These rules are a basic guideline and may change, but only with mutual consent. These will be the rules during our time together. Do you accept them?”

Tora stared at the beautiful man before him, trying to remember that he needed to breathe and slower if he didn’t want to hyperventilate. He tried to ignore the riding crop that his master carried maybe it was just a prop maybe it wasn’t. But the sight of it was giving him pleasure as well. Part of him wondered if he would feel the kiss of the crop.

‘He needs an answer. Do I accept his rules?’

‘You wanted this.’ A thought in the back of his mind reminded him. ‘To let go of the control for once and feel the bliss that is letting someone else handle things for a while. To go with the flow.. to be subserviant instead of superior right?’

‘Right.’ The other part of his mind answered.

‘Than what is the big deal? He’s offering you all you could want. Right?’

‘Except one thing in the dreams it was always a faceless master and sometimes that hood would be removed and…’

‘I know I know but beggars can’t be choosers can they?’ the other said back.

‘Take what you can get. Maybe one day all your fantasies will come true. Maybe the moon is made of cheese. DOES IT FUCKING MATTER?? TAKE THE DEAL WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!’

“I accept… master.” Tora said in answer, and put the collar around his neck.

*******************************************************************************

(Outside of Capsule Corp)

Seventeen wandered outside Capsule Corp smoking a cigarette. Useless exercise but he liked it. It’s not like he had lungs to diminish anyway, and he felt it made him look cool which was the important thing. As he wandered around he saw his fellow conspirator talking with someone so he decided to check it out. There were two other figures standing with Baba on that hill. They were trying to remain unnoticed but his sensors still registered them as there.

A playing piece of some kind began floating in the air and flashed. When he was able to see again they were gone.”What the hell was that?” Asked Seventeen bewildered. Seconds later he was used as a cushion for something that fell on top of him.

*****************************************************************************

“Oof.” She stood up that had hurt, not to much but the initial shock would bruise anyone right? “I’m sorry about that.” She muttered to whoever it was that had served to cushion her fall.

“Not a problem.” Said the voice below her. “But this don’t look too good to perverts like me so how about getting off before any passerbys get the wrong idea. Not that I mind necessarily but my sister will probably beat the snot out of me for “Trying to take advantage of guests.”” came the answer.

She lifted herself off of him and saw a face that she never expected to see again.

“Dear Kami,” She whispered stepping back trying to decide what exactly to do next. She couldn’t fight him, she didn’t stand a chance he would just kill her. The monster stood up, he seemed to notice her un easiness. “Are you okay? Bulma?”

“Get the hell away from me and what makes you think that’s my name? She asked.

Glancing around trying to figure out where precisely she was and how she could get away.

“Your name is Bulma. And we just saw each other ten minutes ago. I was able to get one of your inventions to work and found out that your youngest son was in love with Goten.” He answered her.

“What do you mean my youngest son?”

“You have two sons and a daughter. Tora who has come to stay from someother reality. Trunks, your son from this time and Bra.” He answered again but he was moving away from her slowly. As if he was starting to figure something out. “I going to take a wild guess here and say you don’t really know what I am talking about. Which means you’re like Tora, you come from some other place and time. Which probably means you think I am some sort of lethal monster right?”

“Damn right.” She replied harshly. “So why don’t we just things over with shall we?”

“Right.” Said the monster; “GOKU GET YOUR BAKA I.T.ing SAIYAN ASS OVER HERE! WE’VE GOT A MARTY MCFLY SITUATION!!!”

“What?” Of all the things he could have said that had to been one of the least that she suspected to hear. Almost instantly someone else was there. “Goku.” She whispered seeing the face of her old friend, and grabbed on to him tightly and started sobbing hysterically.

*******************************************************************************

17 looked back at Goku to see if there was anything he could do. “Coca lots of marshmallows, water, and Sir Fluffalot now.” Goku said to him while he held her. 17 nodded and went to get them immeadately. Although he was curious what on earth a Sir Fluffalot was. Goku sat there holding his childhood friend in his arms.

“I have to be dreaming, is it really you?” Bulma asked.

“It’s me.” Goku told her. “Thanks for the medicine, worked like a charm.”

“I’m glad it did, at least one world got saved, from our world’s tragedy. Do you mind?”

“Mind what?”

“Just staying here like this, please?”

“No problem.” He answered. 17 came back with the cocoa, water and a large PINK bunny rabbit. Goku gestured with his head where to put them not releasing Bulma. 17 placed them down and walked away, as he did 17 couldn’t help butnotice something different that he was picking up. He couldn’t pinpoint it but there was something different about this Bulma than their own but he decided not to ask. It would come out sooner or later. Bulma finally let go and Goku gave her the water and Sir Fluffalot. “You remembered.” She said with a laugh.

“It always seemed to be a surefire cure when you were younger.” Goku answered.

“The coca too huh?” She asked seeing the two cups of coca with a bag of marshmallows next to them.

“Of course. I may be a little dumb sometimes but there are things you remember.” Goku replied.

“You’re not dumb Goku.”

“Sure I am and I got the scar to prove it.” Bulma gave him one of her most determined looks and kissed him. Goku was shocked but she held on fast, this wasn’t an attack so he didn’t fight back. He was just surprised as HELL that his childhood friend, and one of the smartest people he knew was kissing HIM of all people!

“No you are NOT.” she said again. “You just don’t complicate things, you try to see the good in everyone, you forgive a lot easier than some people, your kind, and you’re brave. You protect the ones you care about, you protect those that can’t always defend themselves. Your noble and you’re good and some times you are a baka but it is only because you don’t seem to see what’s right in front of you and,” She stopped almost if she was going to say something but dismissed it. “You aren’t dumb Goku.” She hit his arm. “And I don’t want to hear you EVER say that again hear me?”

“Okay.” Said Goku a little surprised. There was something else she was going to say but he didn’t know what but that wasn’t something you saw everyday. He could have sworn he felt her Ki flare as she seemed to get angry. Her ki didn’t flare like that normally you’d see a tad bit of battle aura but that just meant she was determined that was it. What was going on here?

“Sorry about that.” Bulma apologized. She drank the water and held the rabbit close. It always calmed her in the past when she was really upset or stressed Goku remembered that. It was such a little insignificant thing but he remembered it.

“Is there something you want to tell me Bulma?” Goku asked. Bulma looked into her friend’s eyes for a minute.

“Nothing.” She answered “It wasn’t anything important Goku.” There was a slight look of hope in her eyes. “Tell me. Tell me everything.”.

Goku smiled, they both picked up a cup of chocolate and they began talking.

********************************************************************************

Goten sighed partly wondering if he was imagining all of this. It felt too good to all be a dream right? He looked and knew he was right. There was his love lying next to him. Resting a little from their activities, he smiled. It was real his dream was finally coming true. Well unless it really was a pity fuck that was or Trunks was just to horny to care or… Trunks eyes opened then and he smiled at Goten and all of Goten’s thoughts and doubts went straight out the window like bats out of hell.

“Chibi? Is everything okay?”

“Everything is perfect.” Goten answered. “I got part of my wish.”

“Wish?”

“Long story, no dragonballs involved.” Goten answered.

“What was this wish of yours?”

“It’s no big thing Trunks.” Trunks looked at him. “It was a shooting star.” Goten admitted. “I was just thinking about Dad Gohan and me and how… well love doesn’t always work out how you expect it to. Life or love actually. Then I thought about how I had someone around I wouldn’t mind loving and I was thinking that odds were Dad and Gohan might too. Or people that would be good for them and make them happy at least. So I made a wish.”

“You still haven’t answered the question.” Trunks said lazily.

Goten looked embarrassed. “I don’t remember exactly, but I wished that love might actually come real for me my brother and Dad.”

“You made a wish on a shooting star that love would become real for the three of you?” Trunks repeated surprised.

“Yep. That’s it and it seems to be so far. I mean Gohan’s in love with Tora and well they seem to be working that out I guess aren’t they? So that makes you and me Tora and Gohan. What about dad?”

“What about Goku? Oh you mean what do you think will make him happy? I don’t know. But it seems like over the last few years he and your mom haven’t been the same. Like they are just friends or something.”

“Yeah I know it’s weird and… Trunks?” Trunks was looking at him oddly, oh he was rested again and wanted him.

“Am I going to get a turn?” Goten asked jokingly.

“Maybe.” Trunks answered

“Okay can you at least take the belts off? I want to touch you. I won’t run or anything swear.” Trunks released him,”Now then.” Said Goten. “Let’s try something new shall we?”

Trunks looked at him confused for a second, long enough for Goten to tie Trunks to the bed.

“Whaa?”

“Sorry I just want to make sure I get some fun too.” Goten joked. He was going to hurt later he knew but it would be worth it. He slowly looked the bound prince over and then went to get some wine. Then, he carefully poured some of it over Trunks.

“Go… Don’t that tickles – you’re going to get me and the bed all sticky!” Trunks tried to protest,. Goten ignored him and started laping the wine off of him slowly. “That was good.” He said with a grin.

“I’m glad you… Now what are you doing??”

“Rinsing you off.”

“You are going to get us all wet.”

“Maybe I like you all wet.” Goten responded. Trunks groaned why did that make him horny? Come on how could words, nevermind he was getting turned on again and once again the youngest Son was teasing him. “How about hard?” Trunks found himself asking.

“Sure.” Said Goten., “I like you like that too.”

“Keep going like that and you won’t have that much longer to wait.” Trunks muttered.

Goten laughed and then started tickling him. “What are you DOING?”

“You tease me I tease you.” Goten responded “Plus it’s fun.”

“Great I am stuck with the worst babysitting job in the world.” Trunks muttered. “You are an adult you know.”

Goten simply laughed he had been waiting for time like this too long to just let it slip through his fingers now.

*** ***************************************************************************

(Back in the ‘pleasure dungeon’)

Gohan had taken a break to get some things when he came back however he found that Tora had done some exploring and seemed to have gotten himself stuck in a penis clamp unable to get it off.

“Go ahead and laugh alright?” Tora said obviously uncomfortable.

“I’m not laughing.”

“You are thinking about it I know you are.” Tora answered. Gohan had to agree it was funny and put the food he had gotten down. The red skin from some of their earlier seemed to be okay and he didn’t seem to have any burns from the wax that he had put on and removed using the riding crop. He looked at his slave.

“What would you like me to do to you now?” He asked making sure he used the right tone. He tried not to smirk when he saw his love shiver.

“Punish me, Master.” Tora answered. Punish him? “You mean for using my property without asking?” As he said this, he stroked the entrapped member in its clamp.

“Just undo it first.” Tora requested.

“Why should I?” Gohan asked. Tora’s eyes closed and Gohan could sense his love’s growing hunger and need, and decided to show a little mercy. He removed the clamp, then blindfolded Tora and tied Tora’s hands behind his back.

“Do you trust me?” He asked his captive.

“Yes master.” Tora answered. Just the words were enough to give him escastsy. He would never really harm his redeeming angel, now he knew that TORA also knew it, and trusted him completely. He felt a small stab of guilt at this knowing that Tora didn’t know his identity and it was possible that he would not be so open if he knew who it was.

“Master?” Tora asked.

“Nothing.” Gohan answered shaking his head to clear the thoughts that were confusing him. ‘I want him so badly, but I would never force him.’ The thought came to him. No, he wouldn’t, but he had promised to fulfill Tora’s fantasies so in a sense he was only doing what Tora wanted him to do.

“Then I will administer a punishment I think we will both enjoy very much.” Gohan answered. He thought for a moment about the best possible way to do this. Tie him to the legs of the table? Not today. He smirked and left Tora standing alone for a moment as he made his selection from the wall. He waited for a moment or two in order to increase any anxiousness his prey was currently feeling and then returned. “Master?” Gohan decided to wait two more minutes before he responded, “I am here my lovely slave. It is time for your punishment.” Gohan pulled a chair close to them and sat down then pulled Tora over his lap, and then brought his hand swiftly down on the lavender haired prince’s behind. A loud smack was heard, and a light pink outline appeared. Gohan noted it for a moment and then did it again in the exact same place. He made sure that while he hit hard enough to bring the mix of pain and pleasure he didn’t do anything to really harm the man spread across his lap. It wasn’t long before Tora’s neglected erection began rubbing against his thigh as the other demi squirmed in his lap. After ten prepratory smacks with his hand he carefully ran his hands over the slightly red globes admiring his handiwork.

“Not bad.” He said “But I think we can do better don’t you?”

“Yes, master.” Said Tora obediently. Gohan smirked and tweaked Tora’s nipples just a bit. Tora whimpered at the pleasure. “Good because it will be just a little harder now. But if you are VERY good, you will be rewarded.” Gohan promised running a hand over Tora’s cheek. “Will I enjoy this reward?” Tora asked playfully.

“I think you will. I know I will.” Gohan answered unable to keep the lust out of his voice. Even though slight alarms were going off in his head to be cautious; he was preceeding out on to thin ice.

“What will you do?” Tora asked licking his lips in antcipation.

“You can choose your own reward.” Gohan decided, “If you keep your end of our deal that is.”

This brought a moan from the excited and bound demi. “Please… I already know what I want.”

“What is it my pet?”

“I want you, to..” He hestitated.

“Go ahead and ask little one. If I am in the mood I assure you I will definately grant it.”

Tora paused and felt the butterflies in his stomach increase their speed to at least a hundred miles over any known speed limit.

‘Are you sure about this?’ The voice in his mind asked. ‘You know well enough who was in your fantasies last night. And it wasn’t the faceless master this time either.’

‘Yeah right, like that is ever going to happen.’ Answered the pessimestic side. ‘You have probably wanted him since you were like fifteen. He never saw you as anything but his student and his responsibility. Sure you made a bond that was as strong as being brothers. But his nickname ought to be a clue. “Little Brother?” Come on. He’d never think of you that way. ‘

‘Maybe not but what about…’ Said the other voice, a more hopeful one.

‘Go-kun?’ The voice answered back in mockingly. ‘Uh-huh right, and Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo don’t spend all their time away training doing actual training and sparring.’

While listening to this exchange Tora felt all words freeze in his throat unspoken. They were right. What chance did he really have with either of them? It was amazing how he could have a crush on two aspects of the same person. Even more amazing that though his feelings for them were similar he could still remember the differences and experiences and love them for both similar and different reasons. But it all boiled down to how Gohan, either one could make him feel so special, and needed. Even when he was sure that he was worthless or helpless to do something he felt the two of them watching him, encouraging him. Loving and supporting him no matter what he did. He felt it when he fought with the Z-fighters against Cell, he felt it when he returned home to fight Cell and the androids of his own time. Even when he was helping to rebuild his broken home and future he felt it. He felt a tear coming to his eyes. It would never work would it? Not like had always dreamed or imagined. Surely… surely, each of them had someone special in mind. Go-san was reunited with his loved ones, perhaps there was a girl he loved that the androids had killed. Go-kun probably had several prospects of his own. Even now as a fusion they had returned to his life, to be there to support him but how could… how could such a beautiful, caring, perfect creature love him? Maybe he should forget platonic pretenses and ask Sarah on a date. From what he could tell she wasn’t seeing anyone maybe she would take pity on on him and let him hang around till she found someone better or help him meet someone… His position had been changed he was now sitting up on his master’s lap. A hand was running over his face comfortingly.

“Zoning out on me?” The voice asked.

“I’m sorry master I..” Tora spoke. “Nothing. I had no reason to do that and I apologize.”

“No. no it’s alright.” Said his master reasurringly. So he wasn’t upset, “Did you think you upset me?”

Tora was surprised by that comment. It was if his master had read his mind.

“You haven’t upset me, but it was obvious you were lost in your own thoughts. Perhaps wondering if you had any right to make your… request.”

It was true, Tora couldn’t deny it. “Master, I…”

“Rule Number Four.” Said Gohan remindingly to Tora. Tora remembered the rules but..

“Master, you know that I have fantasies, but there have always been two that I want more than anything to be real.”

“And I told you we aim to fulfill your fantasies here.” Gohan reminded his slave lovingly.

“Then finish punishing me, and if it is your will.. I want to see you. I want to know who will be doing the next thing I want.”

“What do you want?”

“Everything.” Tora answered with a rush. “Please master, I want to feel your mouth, your hands, I want you to suck me off, I want…”

“You want to know for once there is someone who can give you the love and acceptance you have always wanted but never felt you would never have. You wonder if you were even worthy of the gift of such love and acceptance. Especailly since you feel you have fallen short of what is expected of you.” If it hadn’t been for the blindfold Tora would’ve stared at his master in shock. How could ANYONE be so percise? Speak of what he was feeling not from a guess but if they knew his feelings first hand. Because they felt the same way he did. Tora knew at once that if things didn’t ever work out with Gohan that he could probably learn to truly love this man. Who somehow seemed to be a kindred spirit of sorts. “How did you know that?” Tora asked cautiously.

“I feel the same way.” His master answered

“Who is it you feel unworthy of?” Tora asked cautiously again.

“It’s not important, my pet.”

“Do you still..”

“I never stopped, but they never knew of my feelings.”

“I never told them how I felt either.” Tora admitted.

His master went silent. “Who… do you love?”

“What does it matter? Neither of probably would never see me that way anyway.” Tora answered.Now it was Gohan’s turn for speeding butterflies sweat and so on. “It’s not like it’s ever going to happen.” Tora continued. Gohan could hear it in his voice. His love was hurting and there was a chance he was the one that was causing his love this pain.

“Please.” Tora said. The very word and tone made Gohan ready to give his love anything he wanted. “I… want to heal, and forget. Can you show me how?”

‘”Physician heal thyself”.’ Came to Gohan’s mind but he ignored it. He needed healing too, to forget about all those years ago, and he the strangest feeling…

*Maybe I’m crazy, but it’s crazy and it’s true I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you* (Meatloaf “I’d do anything for love (but I won’t do that.)

If he had any hope of truly healing. Of forgetting, of putting everything crazy or wrong from either of his pasts behind him this, his angel of salvation, would be one to help him find it. He knew it. “Tora.” He said, his voice trying to portray all the feelings he had towards his love. He saw Tora look at him not quite understanding. Then Gohan kissed him, not demandingly, sincerely. And Tora didn’t try to pull away. As if on some level he could sense that Gohan needed this. Although, Gohan doubted that Tora realized the identity of this mysterious “Master” that had come to do this with him. For him. Tora kissed back just as hungrily and sincerely. He needed this too, and possibly on some level knew what was going on. “Now. Please Master now.” Tora pleaded.

Gohan didn’t have to be told twice and he carried his love to a bed in the room and quickly removed the blindfold and released his hands. “Can I see you?” Tora asked again.

“I don’t want to disappoint you.” Gohan answered truthfully and sadly. “You may not be happy with what you see.” Tora already could see that this was someone with as many painful memories in his past as he had. If not a few painful secrets as well. He hesitated, did he really have the right to ask this? His master had done nothing but make him feel love, safe and erotic pleasure. Did he really have to know who this was?

‘He seems to almost love me.’ Tora thought ‘If this is true I do want to know who and why. But if it brings him discomfort..’

“It’s your choice.” Tora finally answered, “But if you actually love me either way. I don’t see why it should matter who you are…” He said this carefully. Part of him almost afraid he wouldn’t be happy with the identity of his master. But the feelings of love and security came back. This person loved him and would never harm him, he had nothing to fear. He could see his master was pausing.

“You choose to participate in this?” Tora asked.

“Your mother brought it up, but it seemed like a good idea.”

“Why?” Tora asked

“I thought… well I wanted… It seemed like it would make you happy.”

“The fulfillment of my fantasies? She told you about them?” Tora was shocked. Why would young mother do that? HOW MUCH did she know?

“She told me about the fantasy yes.” His master replied he didn’t seem upset or disgusted or anything else negative.

“And she suggested you should be…my master?”

“She told me what you wanted to feel. I wanted to help.”

“Help. That’s it huh?”

“I didn’t mind it at all really. I sort of enjoyed it.”

“But… You don’t want…” Tora started.

“Actually I do.” His master answered. “This isn’t pity, you needed to feel submissive. I needed to feel in control. I mean what I said about your request and I meant what I said about knowing how you felt.” Tora thought about this, then his master bowed his head “So if this is truly what you want…” He removed his mask….

Gohan had bit his lip, closed his eyes and pulled off the mask. When he didn’t feel anything unpleasant or hear shouting and cursing or any other negative thing that he had been expecting he opened his eyes. Tora was still lying there very still, but his eyes were staring as if Gohan was all they saw.

“Trunks…” It took all of ten seconds for Tora to realize this wasn’t some type of joke or dream. “Go-Gohan?” He asked instantly feeling embarrassed. And suddenly coming to grips with the situation.

“You look fine.” Gohan said moving Tora’s hands from where they tried to cover himself out of embarrassment. “I…”

“Did you mean what YOU said?” Gohan asked quietly.

“Anything in particular?”

“What you said about everything.” Tora timidly nodded, and gave a hiss as his frustration once again started making demands. “Ma.. Gohan.. I..” Gohan gently took Trunks earlobe in his mouth and nibbled, “Don’t worry, I plan to do everything you want me too, but if you are uncomfortable for ANY reason let me know and I’ll slow down.” He told him softly. “What would you have done to finish my punishment?” Tora asked curiously.

“Paddled that cute little posterior of yours until it was nice and red and with your permission…” He trailed off. But Tora could tell what he was going to say.

“I don’t suppose you still have that paddle.” questioned Tora.

“Actually yes… but…” Gohan looked into Tora’s eyes and realized what he wanted. He kissed Tora’s forehead. “Your wish is my command.” He said. Tora blinked trying to figure that one out. Gohan looked at the other demi’s beautiful throat and saw the collar still in place. For some reason while before it turned him on it now angered him. He removed the spiteful thing and threw it across the room. Probably would’ve blasted it into oblivion too but was distracted by the nearness of the angel under him.

Tora found himself startled by Gohan’s sudden mood swing. First he looked content, then pissed now content again. What he had done to the collar wasn’t really necessiary but… oh! He looked into his love’s eyes. Gohan felt the meaning of the collar had changed. This wasn’t supposed to be about submission and conquest now. It was an act of love. Gohan LOVED HIM! Tora quickly grabbed hold of his love and kissed him. Gohan accepted the kiss but seemed a little confused. “I understand.” Tora told him softly. “I know I am not an object to you. Something you possess, and use. You love me, and thought that keeping that collar would’ve meant I would feel obligated to do this?” Tora smiled as a look of guilt crossed Gohan’s face and he nodded. “You would never hurt me. Gohan.”

“Are you sure of that?” Gohan asked softly. For a second it seemed he was not so sure of it himself, like he was worried about something. Tora realized it was his Go-san that said that remark and growled. “Never, not in a million years.” He answered and kissed Gohan determinedly. This had gone on far enough. Why in the Seven hells would … how could he ever THINK that? Gohan seemed to look at him curiously as he lovingly plundered his mouth and then moved down. Carefully bathing everywhere with his tongue. Somehow he managed to keep eye contact with his koibito. And Gohan seemed to enjoying every second of what he was doing. Until he found the mark on Gohan’s shoulder. He had never seen before. “Gohan? What is this?” Tora asked softly, his love looked away almost in shame, guilt, PAIN? “Oh my Kami.” Tora whispered examining the mark. It was a claim in a way, like an artist marking their work, but… Go-kun didn’t have anything like this. That meant there was something Go-san never told him and probably never intended to. It was a Saiyan claiming mark. It could mark property. Or “look who I fucked”…. LOOK WHO I… A large string of exploratives burst from the usually calm, collected, and gentle older Briefs mouth. Tora took Gohan into his arms and held him. “Koi.. I…” He looked at that mark with the greatest amount of enmity he could then very carefully, but in contempt began to kiss down the side of Gohan’s neck and bit where the mark was, covering it with a fond love bite. Then covering it with the tenderest kisses he could. As if trying to wash away the pain and guilt that it had caused.

Gohan was still not looking at him, which concerned Tora greatly. “No,” He said softly. “Don’t turn your beautiful face from me, please. You aren’t to blame.” Rape. He had never imagined, and Gohan had offered to do all this? Just for him? Gohan turned his face back to him, it wasn’t exactly embarassment, more like shame for never taking the time to tell him or anyone about the mark. “Do… you want to talk about it?” Tora asked softly. Not quite sure how to proceed. He was on less stable ground then he had realized.

“You called me Koi.” Said Gohan softly.

“Yes. I love you. What else would you want me to call you?”

“Why?”

“Why do I love you…” Then it hit him. Earlier when they were talking, GOHAN HAD BEEN REFERRING TO HIM. HE was the one Go-san, but wait Go-kun. They both loved him? “You love me?” He asked quietly. “Both of you?” The fused warrior flushed and nodded. “H-hai.”

Tora thought about what else was said only a few minutes ago. “Maybe we can help each other what do you think?”

“One thing.” Growled Gohan, “After I left. Nothing…” Tora shook his head, no he had never had any sexual experiences. Gohan almost seemed relieved. Then Tora remembered 17’s actions earlier and realized the cause of his koibito’s question. Tora hadn’t wanted what 17 was doing and Gohan knew it and stopped it. “You didn’t think..”

“They never tried it on me but there were rumors.. I was concerned. That’s all.”

Tora nodded, he was younger and would’ve been an easier target. “No one.” He answered simply. “You would be my first… if you want to be.” Gohan’s mind went to the foggy images of the night before, from the strange dream he had had. What was in that soda he had found on the counter and drank while he searched for Tora last night? Part of him shivered in anticipation, mostly from the intense emotions he could see in Tora’s eyes. Tora loved him, there was no doubt in his mind about that now. And he WANTED HIM. That was the kicker. ‘But what if I can hurt him?’ The thought came back. ‘What if it’s in me too?’ Tora was looking at him then, as if reading him some how. Gohan felt Tora carefully peel off his revealing clothing. Looking over him slowly, Gohan decided he enjoyed having Tora do that.

“Do you trust me?” Tora asked softly.

“Always.” Gohan answered. Tora then continued his course of kissing and licking down to his nipples. Where he pleasantly played with them and pinched them. It felt rather good. “Tora…” Gohan started remembering this all started with Tora wanting to be played with and sated. The look Tora gave him silenced him. It wasn’t a demand or anything it was, begging to be allowed to give him pleasure for the erotic pain and pleasure and fantasy that Gohan had done for him earlier. ‘I can wait.’ The look said. ‘Please let me do this. I need to.’ He could never refuse Tora anything, both of him knew it. They just couldn’t say ‘no’ to this angel that held both their hearts in his hands. Oddly, Tora found a way to keep constant eye contact with him. If he felt nervous Tora would go about what he was doing slowly and letting him come to terms with it on a gradual level. If he enjoyed it, Tora intensified it until he was practically whimpering and whispering his love’s name over and over. “May I?” Tora asked slowly, Gohan knew Tora was asking permission to suck him off now. “Yes.” Gohan answered. It was wonderful. Gohan could admit and he couldn’t resist the urge to plunder that sweet mouth and throat with his erection, but he was very careful and gentle. He carefully looked into Tora’s eyes to be sure that he wasn’t hurting his love. Tora actually seemed to be relaxed and more or less enjoying it.

“Are you okay?” Gohan asked for a moment forgetting that Tora wouldn’t exactly be able to answer. The answer came as a hum that vibrated in Tora’s mouth and therefore intensified the sensation Gohan himself was feeling. A smirk appeared on Tora’s face. Yep, he was fine and was enjoying doing this to Gohan. Gohan relaxed knowing he was not harming Tora or making him do anything he didn’t want to do. Somehow Tora managed to constrict his throat around Gohan just enough to…. “KAMI!! TORA!!!”

Bring Gohan to the most satisfying and strongest orgasm he had probably ever had in his life. Again the evil smirk crossed Tora’s face. He knew exactly what he was doing the little devil! Gohan began to wonder a few things, when Tora temporarily removed his mouth, played with his member and balls until Gohan was hard again and did it all over again. This one was even longer. “What are you trying to do?” Gohan gasped. “Kill me?” Tora gave Gohan a look of complete innocence that looked so much like one of Goku’s it should have been theoretically impossible, which meant the smirk that came across it seconds later was a very large sign of danger. The type that has huge neon letters spelling ‘BEWARE’ and flashing arrows all around it to warn whoever sees it.

“What good are you to me if I do that?” Asked Tora with such innocence and even the famous chibi eyes that Gohan began wondering were he could find large cloves of garlic and a maybe even a silver crucifix on short notice. ‘I think I am in VERY DEEP TROUBLE’ Gohan thought and gulped.

Tora looked at the_expression on his love’s face and realized he had probably gone too far. But it if the indicator between Gohan’s legs was still working properly the fear was actually becoming a turn on for Gohan.

“Relax I have no intensions have hurting you.”

“I know.” Gohan said in a tone that meant he loved and trusted Tora enough that he knew he was in safe hands. Good it hadn’t gotten so far that Gohan was getting flashbacks or something. But he couldn’t resist. Gohan had felt and tasted so good, that all he could do was imagine what Gohan could do to him and he had lost restraint. This was about helping Gohan. How could he have forgotten THAT?

“Sorry, I got carried away.” Tora apologized.

Gohan smiled which made Tora feel a little better. “I suppose so. It’s alright though really.”

Tora had his doubts about that, but went along with it anyway. “Lay down, it’ll be all right I promise.”

“You’re not going to eat me alive?” Gohan asked. Tora shook his head.

“Chain me up here forever and keep me as your love slave?”

There was a raised eye brow as Tora considered the option for a minute then shook his head.

“Darn.” Said Gohan jokingly. There it was, the confirmation that Tora had wanted. Gohan did want this, he was a little apprehensive, but he did want this as much as Tora himself did.

‘I’M GOING TO FUCKING KILL THE FUCKING BASTARD! THEN I AM GOING TO BRING HIM BACK AND KILL HIM AGAIN!’ Tora thought darkly.

The thought left when he saw the look of concern in Gohan’s eyes though. He filed the urges away in the back of his mind. Revenge could wait and be sated later. Right now this beautiful god, wanted and needed HIM.

“Are you alright?” Gohan asked softly.

“Fine.”

“You were looking a little “Vegeta pre-battle on Namek” for a minute you sure?”

“Sorry. I was thinking.”

“Thinking? If thinking makes you look like that I don’t know if I want you doing that anymore.”

“How are you going to stop me?” Tora asked kiddingly but curiously.

Gohan seemed to hestitate a little but then he was on he knees and…

“OH MY KAMI!! GOHAN!!!” The cheating little sneak had decided to make good use of his knowledge of pleasure spots. Including the pleasure that could be had if one manipulated a saiyan’s tail scar correctly and at the same time having his fingers so gently and carefully playing inside.. “UUGGH GGGOOOOHHHHAAAN!!” And finding that special button inside him, and playing with it mercilessly until he came.

“I think that produced much happier thoughts don’t you?” Gohan asked playfully.

‘Your ass is SO mine.’ Thought Tora to himself.

“You’re right much better.” Tora conceeded. Gohan looked at him as if holding something back, an urge or wish of his own. “Rule Number Four.” Tora chided him.

Gohan laughed. “Yeah, yeah. Those were meant for you smart ass.”

“OH so I have rules but you don’t have to follow them?”

“Uh..” Gohan realized he had made a mistake.

“And what if I decide to break your precious “Rules”?” Tora asked, there was a look in his eyes. Alright the spoiled brat was SO asking for it. “I’d have to punish you, my naughty pet.” Gohan answered retaking his role from earlier. He saw the visible shiver that went through Tora. “You wanted the rest of your punishment? Is that what this is about?”

Tora looked a little guilty and nodded. “You made it sound so good and then we started talking.” He admitted “And I was curious.”

“A family trait if I am right.” Gohan laughed “Being too curious for your own good. Well I suppose if you insist…” Within moments Tora found himself again spread over his friend’s lap. “Sheesh, if I didn’t know any better I would think you ENJOYED this type of thing.” Tora joked.

“Reddening that cute little ass of yours? Hmm… I think I enjoy anything that includes that region of your body.” Said Gohan with a laugh.

“So I was right you do stare.”

“Only when I know you aren’t looking.” Gohan admitted. Then realized what he had said “Oh Crap.”

“So which of us in really in control here?” Tora asked.

Gohan laughed “You don’t really expect me to answer that are you?” He then began using the paddle and Tora found himself shutting up as his world narrowed to the burning feeling on his bottom as Gohan rained blow after blow with the wooden paddle. Tora found himself moaning, crying and even trying to meet blows. With each blow his neglected erection rubbed on Gohan’s thigh and he drowned in bursts of pleasure along with the pain. Gohan smiled as he watched Tora’s bottom go from light pink to a rich red. Gohan leaned over and began to soothe the abused flesh with loving licks. He carefully examined Tora’s behind and was pleased to see that while Tora’s bottom was very red, it was not bruised. “Did you enjoy yourself?” He asked. Tora smiled he had felt better but it wasn’t so bad. He snuggled closer to Gohan. Who laughed and laid him out on the bed and rubbed lotion gently on the reddened behind. Tora found he enjoyed Gohan tending to him. “I thought you were going to…” He began Gohan kissed him and cut him off. “I will, but let’s take care of you first.” After tending to the reddened skin he put lube on his fingers, and gently and carefully began stretching Tora he noticed the riding crop that seemed to always catch Tora’s attention laying on the floor not too far from the bed.

Gohan reached over and took it and removed his fingers from stretching Tora. Tora whimpered in pain at the loss of the wonderful feeling and decided to pleasure himself a little if Gohan was going to stop right there. But found that his hand was removed from his member by Gohan.

“No.” Gohan said. “I don’t want you pleasuring yourself. Your pleasure belongs to me. As does the rest of you.” He said it playfully but in the same tone he had used in his earlier role as Tora’s master. “If you achieve any pleasure it is because I grant it, no other reason.”

“Yes, Master.” Tora answered obediently but almost in disappointment. Gohan felt a sigh of regret. He didn’t want Tora unhappy, he began kissing the side of his neck and licked up to his ear. “Don’t worry, I have no intention of stopping. I want to be the source of all your moans and pleasure not your hand. If you give me a minute or so I’ll give you more pleasure than your own hand EVER will.”

Tora moaned at the turn on those words brought. Gohan wasn’t trying to be cruel intentionally he just believed that better things came when you were patient enough. With that promise Tora knew he could wait a little longer, as long as Gohan promised to finish.

“You aren’t planning to leave me wanting then?”

“Never.” Gohan answered.

“Then I’ll wait. As long as you keep your end of the bargain.” Gohan chuckled and ran his hands over Tora’s erection teasingly “I will.” He answered. Then he carefully lubed the handle of the riding crop and gently entered his love carefully finishing the job of stretching him. “Relax. It won’t be long.” He assured Tora. And played a bit with Tora’s tail spot while he finished stretching him. Tora felt himself start going insane with need, and then something else.

“You do know our “younger brothers” are together right?”

Gohan laughed “I wouldn’t be surprised. They were always inseperable, eavesdropping huh?”

“I didn’t do it on purpose.” Tora mumbled.

“I know. I just don’t want to risk losing you to my younger brother. I don’t do the jealously thing well. So don’t try playing that with me huh?”

“I really only want you anyway.”

“Good because if you are serious I really don’t plan on losing you to someone else. Although you are free to leave if you want.”

His senses were exploding again, the tease knew just where all the right buttons were didn’t he?

“Master, please, I need you, now” Tora whimpered. He would either come or turn into boneless gloop any second and he wanted Gohan inside him before that happened.

Gohan agreed that it had been long enough and removed the handle. Then carefully positioned to himself to replace it. “How do you want me to do this?” He asked.

“I DON’T FUCKING CARE JUST DO IT NOW DAMMIT!!” Tora pleaded.

So Gohan did, slow, fast, hard, easy, he had Tora in several positions.

When Tora released in the hand Gohan had put around him for about the fourth time. Gohan himself followed not too long after and after he pulled out flopped down on the bed next to Tora. “Four times as the Seme, can’t say I ever did that before.” He muttered.

“You were fine really.” Said Tora cuddling up to him. “It was perfect.”

“Uh huh I am sure you say that to all the exhausted former virgins.” Gohan muttered.

“Gohan.”

“I was just kidding!”

“Really want to try it again?”

“Give me five to ten minutes please.”

“Why?” Tora asked playfully.

Gohan groaned. “I am a Super Saiyan not the energizer rabbit. Sheesh. Go eavesdrop on your brother if you’re that desperate.” But he cuddled next to Tora even closer. “I love you.”

“I love you too. Do you mind.. could I..” Tora found he couldn’t ask. And sighed. “Remember what you said earlier about healing?”

“Yeah?”

“What happened?”

“You mean who was it so you can kill ’em..” Gohan clarified. Tora groaned inwardly, Gohan knew him all too well.

“Yeah.”

“He’s dead, love, don’t worry yourself about it, it’s all in the past.”

“No it isn’t.” Tora interjected. Was this why Go-san never seemed to go on dates? Or even interested in anyone? What had the bastard done to him?

“Let it go.”

“Who was it?”

“I told you he’s gone.”

“It wasn’t my dad was it?”

“No.”

“I know it wasn’t yours unless he temporailly got his damage repaired and went on a rampage or something.”

“It wasn’t him either.”

“Oh come on there aren’t that many.”

“You’re right.”

“It wasn’t Brolli he was never on Earth in our dimension.”

“True.”

“That leaves Nappa and Radditz.”

“I suppose it does.”

“Isn’t Radditz your uncle or something?”

“Pretty much.”

“Gohan?”

“Yeah?”

“What aren’t you telling me?”

“Nothing important.” Gohan replied.

“…”

“…”

“Tell me.”

“I told you.”

Tora propped himself on Gohan’s chest and looked into his eyes. “Please, I need to know. I don’t want to cause you pain.”

“You won’t Trunks. Because it’s you. I’ve always cared about you. Even when I probably shouldn’t have in the way I did. I tried to adjust it make it something acceptable but in the end I love you and I always have. You could never hurt me.”

“Sure I could, I have ammunition other people don’t.”

“You’re right, but right now you have absolutely no reason to right?”

“Right.”

“Then why worry?”

“It involves you. Everything that involves you is of interest and important to me Gohan. Always. And I feel you think you can’t talk to me about it because I’ll judge or something.”

“No. It isn’t that at all.”

“Tell me then. Please Gohan? I want to help you.”

“It was Radditz.”

“He kidnapped you right.?”

“Yes for a week, in our world.”

“Did he?”

“Yes.”

“Gohan.”

“Shh… it’s okay. I’m over it, really. It was a long time ago.”

“You are?”

“Yeah.”

“Prove it.”

“What? How?”

Tora smiled at that, “I’ll show you. Do you trust me?” Gohan nodded and laid out as Tora motioned for to lay down. Gohan followed his instructions, and Tora gently straddled Gohan. Carefully watching for any sign that Gohan was uncomfortable with the situation. “You okay?” He asked softly with his hands gently massaging Gohan’s back.

“I’m good.” Gohan answered, as both of them felt the touch of Tora’s magic fingers.

*This is great*

*mmm… yeah is it working?*

*what?*

* Are you growing relaxed now?*

*I suppose so, what do you think, yeah keep doing that!*

Tora smiled as he felt Gohan completely relax under his touch. The sounds he was making proved it. The massage slowly became more playful and then sensual. He touched and kissed every bit of him. “Turn over.” Tora asked.

“Huh?”

“Turn over, I want you to remember who is doing this.” Tora answered, he didn’t want his love to panic and remember his time with Radditz. He wanted Gohan to feel nothing but the pleasure he himself had felt when Gohan had made love to him. Gohan complied to Tora’s request and looked then looked straight into his love’s eyes.

Tora smiled at the love he saw in them and the trust. Those chocolate pools seemed to devour him like he was all that Gohan was interested in. Almost as if Gohan was alone in the middle of a desert and he was the only oasis in the next 500 or so miles. He moved slowly making sure everything he did brought the man beneath him pleasure.

“Trunks, please, more” Mirai whispered softly. Tora heard him though and knew that what he was doing was working for his old mentor. “You like that huh?” He asked softly. The look he got in return made Tora decide to speed up just a little faster. Then he stopped for a moment.

“Trunks, is everything okay?” Mirai asked slowly.

“Are you?” Tora asked softly.

“Yes.” Mirai answered.

“May I?” Tora asked slowly. Mirai nodded. Then he felt his younger self fade out a little.

*What?*

*Relax I’m still here. I’m just giving you two some privacy that’s all. You need this.*

*You’re just going to shut the door and leave me alone out here?*

*Yep.*

*YOU CAN’T DO THAT!*

*Watch me.* With that Mirai was alone with his former student.

‘I am going to get me for this!… Wait that didn’t come out right.’ Mirai tried to calm himself, this was different. This was what his Koi wanted, he could do this for Trunks. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Tora asked. Mirai nodded, he could handle this. It was Tora, if it were anyone else he’d possibly question it. But this is what he had wanted for a long time.

“I want this to be over, the nightmares everything. And I think… I think you are the key to doing just that if… if you don’t mind?” Mirai admitted. Tora stared at him shocked, but also pleased that he had said this. It was the permission he needed to continue this.

“You are sure.”

“Yes, so can we do this before something tries to change my mind? The traitor has already said I’m on my own here.”

Tora tried not to laugh. “He… Go-kun” Then he started laughing.

“It’s not that funny you know.” Mirai answered in a tone so much like his former teacher’s Tora laughed even more.

“You sound exactly like Piccolo do you know that?” he asked.

“I’m leaving.” Mirai muttered.

Tora grabbed his arm. “Don’t, please. I’m sorry I was nervous, you really do want this. I guess I was trying to give you and out and now I realize I don’t want either of us to. I love and I want a chance to prove it to you.”

“You don’t have to prove it me silly.” Mirai answered.

“I know I just. You were willing to go thorough all that for me, it’s only fair I do something for you.”

“Go ahead.” Mirai answered. He laid still, he wasn’t nervous but, still it was his first time ever since that week. No he wasn’t thinking about that now.

“You are nothing.”

That wasn’t true.

“Where is your power?”

In his heart where all true power is.

“Who would want to play with a toy that is already broken?”

That stopped him. Feeling panic he took Mirai’s face gently and pulled it towards him. He NEEDED to look into those eyes, trusting that they would reveal what he needed to know. “Dai Suki, Toranksu, Kore kara zutto itsumademo.” Tora’s eyes widened and he kissed Mirai deeply. Mirai drank him in, the kisses were practically intoxicating. Tenderly, he stroked that beautiful face and then released him.

“Sorry I… the voice came back I had to tell you, I had to know that he was wrong.”

“What did he say?” Tora asked darkly

“‘Who would want to play with a toy that is already broken?’.”

A low growl came from Tora. “He was wrong, and he has no hold on you ever.”

“Really? Who do I belong to then?”

‘Me.’ Tora thought desperately but answered quickly, “You don’t belong to anyone but yourself, and your heart only belongs to who you decide to give it to. That bastard is completely wrong.”

Mirai looked at him for a moment and held him tight against him. “Thank you.” He whispered.

“Do you want to take the last step now, koi?” Tora asked softly. Mirai thought about it for just a minute. There was one thing he had to do first.

“Not yet.” He answered, then he saw the shattered look on Tora’s face. “It’s not like that. I just…can we talk outside? I’ll explain I swear I just… If I don’t explain now it’ll be too late.”

“Okay” Said Tora not sure if he really did understand. They both got dressed in normal clothing and left the pleasure dungeon that Bulma made for them.

“So what is it?” Tora asked when they got outside.

*Hey you, wake up we’ve had a change in plans.*

*What? Why?*

*You know very well why.*

*Couldn’t wait any longer huh?*

*Whatever pot.*

*Fine kettle, let’s do this before we worry him too much.*

Tora saw the slight change and realized both Gohans were there. Something was up.

“So what do you need to tell me?” He asked again getting a little more concerned by the second.

“I just wanted to talk to you outside the dreams and fantasies.” Came the fusion’s reply. “So you realized that this was real. What happened in there will most likely stay in there, that is the way that kind of thing works. I wanted this to be something else.”

“I understand.” Said Tora. And he did, whatever this was. It was very special to Gohan and he wanted it taken seriously.

“You always have.” Gohan answered. “No matter where we were. You know me too well sometimes, I do still have my secrets but I swear! Sometimes you know me better than anyone else. Crystal, Videl, my mom…”

“Okay you are starting to scare me now.” Said Tora jokingly.

“You know my human half and my saiyan half because you go through the same thing. You.. I swear when we talk it’s like you have a window to my soul and usually can see exactly what I am talking about.”

“You do the same.”

“It’s like we’re connected you know?”

“Well yeah, I know. I’ve always thought the same way but figured it was too weird to tell you about. Either of you.” Said Tora.

“Don’t feel bad, we felt the same way. Would’ve told you but it would seem freaky or perverted. Or like trying to replace the past.”

Tora nodded, it made sense to him, his loves had an odd habit of doing what the other would do sometimes.

“Well…” Tora prompted. This seemed to be difficult for them what were they trying to say to him that was so important?

“We have… well come to a conclusion on what to do about it.” Gohan answered. He knew the ‘we’ would become ‘I’ soon Piccolo had talked with him about the whole split personality thing and how long it usually lasted. Although he himself never FULLY became one with his counterparts…

“Are you CRAZY?” He asked “Why on earth would I ever want my mind one with the old man’s? The other I could possibly live with but… personally I am still trying to be on my guard in case he decides to separate and jump me or something.” However since the two of him were so alike in thought and purpose anyway Piccolo couldn’t see any problems or difficulties with them becoming completely one person.

“It’s just that… we have had time to think about the effect you have on our lives and we like the effect. W..I like having you in my life. To talk with, to hang around, I already tried not having you around, not good in either scenario trust me. I want you, I need you, I love you dammit. I always have and I always will that isn’t going to change. Now, if you are uncomfortable in anyway we can deal with it. I rather go through being just friends or whatever than not having being around you. It’s like an addiction, but it is one that I don’t want to break and I doubt that I can actually. And to be honest I have absolutely no desire too. I… I am going to have to ask you something very important now. If you don’t feel the same I understand and won’t hold anything against you. And if you do – you can take all the time you wish to decide when – I personally would prefer you to decide before I die of old age. Other that it’s all up to you..”

“What exactly are you trying to say Gohan?” Tora asked curiously and trying to save his friend from looking like a blithering fool which is probably what he felt like at the time.

“It’s just I know I care about you with my whole soul and then some and I guess what this all boils down to is this: Toranksu Vegeta Briefs, will you marry me?”

To be Continued…
