Hiya guys! I’m back with yet another story. It is a one shot though so do not expect anymore unless I have the sudden urge to write another chapter to it.

Warning: Shounen-ai, don’t dig, don’t read. I don’t want another email calling me a sick pervert, which I got for writing my Open Arms story because I made Goten and Trunks fall in love with each other. Another warning is suicide.

Okay here we go, this takes place before Majin Buu was defeated and after he was defeated.

Chibi Goten-chan

Rejection

The training was intense, it never stopped but they had to do it but they were only children. Goten wanted to rest, it was beginning to be too much for him. He sighed as Piccolo told him to get up after he fell down from exhaustion, the sweat pouring down from his face.

Trunks wasn’t fairing well either, the Fusion technique was tough to master and to have every single muscle and breath intact with each was hard work. Piccolo sighed at the sight of them.

“Okay fine you can take a break for half an hour,” he told the two as a smile grew on Trunks’ face.

He fell to the floor and started breathing in and out. Goten smiled as he pulled himself up and walked away from the room. He walked away to the room with the bed that he woken up in with Trunks. The chibi jumped and relaxed himself on the soft covers and snuggled deep into the pillow. Not his pillow, Trunks’ pillow.

True, he had a crush on his best friend ever since he could remember but soon the crush faded into love. Everything about him was just so wonderful, he was handsome, intelligent and he always took care of him. However Goten knew very well that Trunks wasn’t into love and anything to do it with, Trunks was the kind of guy who just hated any emotional stuff, like his father.

Goten sighed at this, he was in love with his best friend so much.

“Hey Goten,”

Goten looked up to see Trunks jumping on the bed and lying down completely on the covers. He breathed in and out at Goten stared at him.

“Don’t know about you but I can’t take anymore of this,” Trunks sighed as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. Goten let out a sigh as Trunks looked at him and he closed his eyes, wanting to fall into deep sleep.

Goten’s grip tightened on the pillow as he smelled the scent of his best friend. He imagined just a happy day with Trunks holding him in his arms and the sun shining down on them. That was the only time that they would be together, in his dreams.

But what he had learned from his father who he had just met yesterday, you had to be true to your heart. Should he tell Trunks of his feelings? Or just lie here with the dreams of his love. He was scared that Trunks would reject him and leave him to weep in his sorrow. But he couldn’t keep this secret driven in any longer.

It was also because the universe’s fate was lying on their shoulders and if he didn’t tell him now then he might never have the chance to do it again. He wanted to do it, he had to or he’ll lose Trunks forever. He was scared of Majin Buu no doubt; he was only seven years old and was being told that he would have to save the universe.

Why couldn’t his daddy just do it? Why? He had saved the earth and all other people lots of times and now he was just giving up. But Goten did kinda understand him and he respected his father but he just didn’t think it was fair.

“Trunks?” he asked swallowing the huge gulp of saliva hanging in his throat.

“Yeah?” the saiya-jin prince asked back.

Goten blinked twice. “Could you maybe...close your eyes?” the chibi asked him quietly.

“Huh? Why?” Trunks asked his friend but Goten did not make a sound. Trunks thought that his friend was being whimsical as usual. “Okay fine but no stupid stuff,” he answered and lied on his side towards Goten.

Goten smiled and summoned up all the courage he had in the world. The chibi moved in closer and puckered up his lips and they touched his friend’s. Goten put all his might into the kiss and started to move his tongue. However he felt a force pushing him off. His lips departed with Trunks’ and received a punch in the face, which threw him off the bed, and he hit the wall.

“You fucking pervert!” Trunks shouted with rage as he wiped his mouth. Goten opened his eyes to find Trunks staring at him evilly. “You gay pervert! You are sick Goten! Fuck off! I never want to see your horrible face again!”

Trunks immediately turned around and stomped out of the room and slammed the door shut. Goten remained still on the floor as tears were rushing down his cheeks. He began to sob loudly as he got what he didn’t want. The one who he loved as he put his little hands over the eyes and crawled into a ball rejected him.

Everything he had wanted was thrown right back into his face and it hurt like hell.

----------

Goten sighed as everyone looked at him, he had to fuse with Trunks now. If it wasn’t for Trunks giving him death glares if he ever looked at him He felt like a piece of trash, all he had to do was fuse now but he didn’t want to. He was sure that Trunks didn’t want to either; Trunks hated him with a vengeance now and he didn’t care about him anymore.

Trunks would probably now just beat him up or not stick up for him anymore. He didn’t care now, he just wanted to go back to his home and sob continually that he lost the thing that was most important to him.

----------

The Sons arrived at the Briefs house, a week had passed since Majin Buu was defeated and Goku came back to life. Goten didn’t want to go, he didn’t want to go to the place of the one who rejected him. It still hurt him, since Trunks had pushed him away from that day saying that he never wanted to see him again. With his daddy being back it perked him up a bit but only a tiny part. He was deep in depression, Gohan had noticed this but he said that time would heal all wounds even though Goten didn’t tell his brother why he was so upset.

Bulma opened the door welcoming them to her barbeque and let them in. Goku was with them; Chichi forced him to come even though he had to protect the egg of some dinosaurs. But the egg hatched earlier so Goku was able to go with them after Chichi constantly nagged him.

Goten wondered where Trunks would be; he wanted to apologise for what he did and if Trunks would ask him back as a friend. He wanted just to be close to Trunks again but he knew how hard headed Trunks was and it would take a lot of things and promises to be his friend again.

Bulma took them into the big garden that she had and found that every member of the Z Senshi was they’re enjoying themselves. There was Krillin, Piccolo, Vegeta, Buu, Yamcha, Trunks...Trunks! Goten smiled and ran over to him at first sight.

“Hi Trunks!” he smiled.

Trunks saw the kid standing in front of him and shot a death glare. Goten’s happy expression faded as Trunks walked up to him with a face he hated.

“What the hell do you want?” he shouted quietly.

Goten tried to speak but he couldn’t find the strength to. “I...uh...thought...that...”

“You thought what? That you would come up and stick your filthy gay tongue down my throat? I don’t think so Goten! Just get the fuck away from me!” he silently cursed him and walked away but stopped and moved back to the near teary Goten. “You know, when Majin Buu killed us, I wish you had stayed dead!”

Goten was going to burst any second after Trunks stomped away, this really hurt, Trunks wished he was dead? Goten couldn’t help it and ran as fast as he could into the Capsule Corp house tears leaving his eyes that had seen too much devastation.

----------

The bathroom door opened and Goten entered sobbing. He walked slowly to the toilet and sat upon it. The tears shedding every part of him being told that his love wished he were dead. The chibi decided if that his love wished him to die, and then he would take his life not to live in pain from rejection. He pulled out the sharp kitchen knife he had taken from the cutting board where all the extra food was being stored since saiya-jins were at this party.

He looked at the light shining off the blade and it soon moved into his reflection. He saw a pathetic excuse for a saiya-jin warrior who let his emotions take control of his life and the most simple thing defeated him. He sighed, his family didn’t need him, they had his daddy back and they wouldn’t miss him so there would be no crying over him.

He had learned from his brother that if you slit your wrists you blood would slowly pour out and you would die. He couldn’t use any ki beams to kill himself, as everyone would feel him using his power.

Goten lifted his long sleeves up and turned his arms around to see the area where the blade would attack. He thought of Trunks, the boy he had loved all of his life and yet he did not return it.

“I love you Trunks...”

The chibi quickly slashed the blade over his wrist and felt a slight point of pain. He soon saw the fresh red blood start to drip from each hand. It wouldn’t be long before the pain would end.

----------

“Trunks, have you seen Goten?” Goku asked.

Trunks just shook his head; he didn’t care if he did anyway.

Goku sighed and turned away to look for his youngest. Goten had disappeared ever since they shown up to the party and he was getting a little worried. Not that kind off, he still felt awkward around him and since Chichi was talking with Bulma and Gohan was chatting with Videl this would be the perfect opportunity to bond with him.

Goku looked around the house and soon passed a locked bathroom door. He knocked. “Goten? Are you in there?” there was no answer; it was very strange because he couldn’t exactly feel his son’s ki anymore. However, he had a feeling that his son was in thee, he knocked on the door again.

“Goten! I know you are in there! Open this door! If you are mad at me tell me what I’ve done wrong,” he still received no answer from his son. Goku began to grow impatient, he knew that something was wrong and started to bang on the door. Goten just wouldn’t open the door.

“Goku! Why are you banging on that door?” Chichi shouted as she and Gohan came running in.

“Goten is in there but he won’t come out,” Goku answered. He was really annoyed now and hit the door hard, which caused it to break. He smiled that the door was opened but it was soon brought down to a horror from the sight inside.

“My baby!” Chichi screamed as she ran in, Goten was sitting on the toilet, his hands and the floor covered in blood. His eyes were shut tight and his head was leaning against the wall. She started to ball uncontrollably as she took him in her arms. “Speak to me honey! Speak to me!”

Gohan and Goku ran in to find the youngest of their family covered in blood. Gohan noticed the bloody knife on the floor and started to cry calling out his brother’s name. Tears formed in Goku’s eyes as he put his hands on his wife’s and eldest shoulders.

“It’s too late...he’s gone,”

Chichi shouted in protest refusing to believe it and it brought the attention of the others to find that the youngest saiya-jin had committed suicide. Trunks just stared when he saw Goten’s body his Chichi’s arms.

He couldn’t believe it; sadness and guilt took over him. Tears started to fall as he realized what he had done; he drove his best friend to kill himself.

----------

Goten’s funeral took place a day after. He was buried on a hill near his home where he used to play. All of the Z Senshi had gathered to say their goodbyes to the child, each taking their turns and leaving. Flowers, cards and teddy bears, Goten’s favourite toy surrounded the grave. Chichi just couldn’t stop crying, she had just got her husband back and now she had lost of baby, Gohan felt so responsible not being there to protect his brother, he loved him so much that he swore that he would have a happy and full life, he had failed. Goku would never get the chance to play with his son and to watch him grow into a young man.

He couldn’t be wished back, those who had died from an illness or committed suicide couldn’t be wished back as they choose to die themselves.

Trunks was the last person to say his goodbye, he was by himself in a black suit with flowers held in his arms and two toys that he had promised to give Goten since he had lost to him at the World Tournament. He sat down his gifts and looked at the picture of him and Goten sleeping together on the coach. They were three years old and fell asleep from watching a movie together when Goten was sleeping over.

Tears fell down his cheeks as Trunks touched the grave.

“Please...forgive me Goten...I’m so sorry...” he spoke silently and started to cry uncontrollably because he would never get to his that happy face, his partner in crime and his sparring partner ever again...because he rejected him because he was just being true to him.

----------

That was so sad! I can’t believe I wrote that! I was so mean to Goten! And to Trunks, sorry to Trunks lovers out there. Review please and tell me what you think.
