I figured I'd extend this out one more chapter. I'm sorry

When Love and hate collide by Star Spangle Mistress
 


 


Trunks fought nightmare after nightmare through out the
night. Reliving the nightmares that had plagued him since the night of the
party. Some how being with Goten didn’t make them stop. Sleep was a commodity
he wasn’t going to get easily. Trunks was startled awake just before nine
soaked in a thick sheen of sweat with the sheets tangled around his body.
Sighing to himself wishing Goten were sleeping beside him, he proceeded to drag
himself out of bed for a quick shower before taking the trip out to the mountain
home where Goten was staying.
 


The day would be perfect. The sky was clear, the sun
shining brightly down on his shoulders as he flew. He couldn’t wait to see
Goten. There was eight years of lost time to make up and he intended to make
sure that he made up for his bad behavior properly. He also had a little girl to
apologize to as well for hurting her father in front of her in the meadow a week
ago. Leilani. He didn’t know the child very well, but she was very beautiful.
She had to get her good looks from Goten. He would be proud to have the little
girl call him daddy also. What more could life offer him?
 


Something didn’t feel right in the pit of his stomach
just before he landed outside the small home. He swallowed roughly before
knocking on the door. Waiting silently, Trunks rocked back on his heels waiting
for the door to open, his heart beating rapidly with anticipation of seeing his
lover. What would the ‘morning after’ be like?
 


“What are you doing here?” Trunks nearly fell backwards
when his father answered the door with a half a shout. He composed himself
quickly trying to hide the emotions on his face from his father.
“Good morning to you too Dad. I wanted to see Goten.”
Trunks fidgeted slightly as Vegeta eyed his son for a minute before Leilani came
to the door half dressed, her hair in a wild mess. She looked up between Vegeta
and Trunks before turning to Vegeta.
“I want Daddy to do my hair!” She announced loudly
before her bottom lip started to quiver slightly.
“You are impossible! What did your father tell you?”
“To be a good girl.” She sniffled out before looking up
at Trunks.
“Where’s your Daddy? I’m sure we can get him to do
your hair.” Trunks asked bending down to be eye level with the three year old,
ruffling her thick mop of black hair.
“He’s not here. He left for the airport an hour ago.
His plane leaves in an hour.” Vegeta huffed out quickly crossing his arms with
Leilani’s hairbrush still in his grip.
“Nani? What the hell is going on?” Trunks blurted out
as he stood up quickly, his heart skipped a few beats with the news. His stomach
churned, his face drained of color. What if Goten was really leaving him alone
after all? He got all that he ever wanted from the lavender haired prince last
night and was sneaking off to live his life again with out him.
“You heae. He. He left this morning for the airport.
He’s going back to America with some onna that came looking for him.”
 


Not waiting to hear what else his father had to say to him,
Trunks took off hoping to catch Goten before he boarded the plane. Maybe he
could convince Goten to never leave again. Maybe with his sharp persuasion
skills he used as president of Capsule Corp. could deter Goten from leaving the
country ever again.
 


 


Goten nervously checked in at the counter along with Leigh
so they could leave and head back to one place Goten didn’t want to be at the
moment. He was determined that he could pull off his plan and come back, no
strings attached to be with Trunks and his daughter. His thoughts went back to
the night before with a small blush creeping its’ way across his cheeks.
Praying against everything that Trunks would find it in his heart to forgive him
for leaving on short notice. But he had no choice really. It was now or never
and with the will of the Son family backing him, he couldn’t back down now.
 


“Don’t worry Goten. I’ll make sure Leilani stays out
of trouble. I’m sure she’s going to have lots of fun staying with me and
Geta.” Goku chuckled as he walked with Goten and Leigh to their boarding gate.
“I’m sure she’ll be good as an angel Dad. Make sure
she goes to bed at eight and that Vegeta doesn’t teach her too many things.”
“That might disappoint Vegeta but I’ll make sure she
has her crayons and coloring books to keep her busy.”
“Thanks Dad.” Goten smiled brightly before hugging his
dad tightly.
 


 


“Passenger boarding for international flight 805 to
Honolulu Hawaii-San Francisco California is now open at gate twenty five. First
class boarding for…” A female’s voice droned on as Trunks entered the
terminal in a sprint. He had to make it to the gate to stop his koi from leaving
at all costs.
 


“Hurry up!” Trunks growled out as he waited in line at
the security check in line being held up by an old man with too many coins in
his pockets that kept setting off the metal detector. The announcement for
flights boarding started again only making Trunks more antsy about getting out
of the line somehow and finding Goten before that flight left. Raking his
trembling fingers through his silk like hair, Trunks finally made it towards the
front of the line.
 


 


“We are starting pre-flight boarding for first class
passengers, families with small children and anyone needing assistance in
boarding. Flight 805 will be landing in Honolulu before reaching its destination
in San Francisco California.”
“Guess that’s us.” Goten said biting his bottom lip
as he picked up his small carry on bag that he conveniently packed with food
capsules.
“Yep it is. I’ll meet you on board Goten.” Leigh gave
him a small squeeze on the shoulder before walking down the long hall to the
plane.
 


“I’ll see you soon Dad. Take care of my little
angel.” Goten said over the loud roar of a jumbo jet taking off in the
background.
“Don’t worry Goten. Everything will be fine. I
promise.” Goku said with a smile to his son.
“Thanks for everything Dad.” Goten engulfed his Dad in
a huge hug before releasing a shuttering breath.
“I’ll be back.” Goten cracked a halfhearted smile
before turning to take the long walk towards the plane.
 


 


“Shit! Where is that gate?” Trunks growled to himself
as he jogged in between people down the crowded corridors of the airport. Time
was running out for him to actually catch the dark haired demi-saiyan. Catching
his attention almost immediately, Trunks ran towards the chaotic dark hair of
Goku that no one could ever miss.
 


“Goku-san!” Trunks shouted as he approached waving his
arm to get Goku’s attention. Goku was surprised when he saw his mate’s
oldest child running towards him full tilt.
“Trunks?”
“Goku, where’s Goten? I need to see him!” Trunks
blurted out the best he could as he panted.
“He’s boarding right now. It might be too late…”
“Goten! Son Goten!” Trunks shouted leaving Goku in the
dust to get to the entrance of the gate.
 


“Sir you can’t go in there with out a ticket!” A male
flight attendant said blocking Trunks’ path.
“But you don’t understand! I need to talk to one of the
passengers that’s on that flight!”
“I’m sorry sir but I can’t allow you down there.
Don’t make me call airport security.”
“Son Goten! Go-chan!” Trunks called more frantica
&n
 


“Trunks, he’ll be back.” Goku reassured him as he
placed a warm hand on the demi-saiyan’s shoulder feeling him tremble with
emotion.
“I didn’t get to say good bye Goku-san. I don’t want
him to leave like he did last time thinking that I didn’t love him.” Trunks
shuddered out with a shaky breath.
“I think he knows Trunks.” Goku replied to the question
before Trunks turned around tangling his fingers in the front of the
full-blooded saiyan’s orange gi. He smiled down on him finding it hard to
believe that it was him comforting Trunks instead of Goten this time around.
 


 


Goten had heard his name being called as he entered the
plane. Taking another shaky breath, Goten headed for his seat up in first class
while his heart was breaking. Leaving would have been a lot easier if he
hadn’t seen Trunks while he was home. But on a different note, his heart would
ache from not seeing Trunks just once even if he had to spy.
 


“Goten are you alright?” Leigh asked as she watched
Goten drop his carry on in the seat beside her. He chewed on his bottom lip
clearly deep in thought.
“I’ll be back.” He announced quickly before making a
quick exit out of firstss. ss. Leigh furrowed her brow wondering what was going
on with Goten.
 


 


“Why don’t you come home with me? I’ll get you some
breakfast.”
“I don’t want to impose Goku-san. I think it would be
better if I just went back home.” Trunks mumbled out as he slowly made his way
from the gate. His poor heart breaking more in two with each step he took into
the crowded corridor.
 


“Tru-chan!” His name was called but didn’t hear the
voice behind it as he kept walking until he was spun around quickly finding
himself looking into chocolate colored eyes.
“Go-chan?”
“I couldn’t leave with out saying good bye properly
Tru-chan.” Goten whispered out as his lips inched towards Trunks’. Arms
wound around their bodies as they pulled one another into the kiss as both heart
soared with the longing of the other. The world continued on around them as they
broke apart from the kiss both staring in each other’s eyes.
 


“Don’t go.”
“I’ll be back in a few weeks koi, I promise.”
“Why are you leaving?”
“Going to close up my apartment. Get my things. I’m
quitting the music business for you.”
“G are are you sure? I thought music meant so much to
you.”
“It’s not at important as you and Leilani. I’d give
up everything for the both of you. Even my life.” Trunks smiled while shaking
his head. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“Go on before you miss your flight.” Trunks whispered
as he brushed the back of his fingers down the side of Goten’s cheek.
“I’ll be back.” Goten’s lips brushed across
Trunks’ quickly before he ran back towards the gate.
 


 


 


Two weeks went by as both demi saiyans waited to be
reunited. Trunks hired a construction crew to build a home for Goten, Leilani
and himself in the wildflower meadow that they grew up playing in. There were so
many good memories there along with a few bad.
 


“So what do you think? Think your Daddy will like it?”
Trunks asked looking at the almost finished home. Bright blue eyes looked up at
him with a smile.
“Uh huh. I get my own roo “Ye “Yes. You get one huge room all to yourself.”
“Mister Fuzzy says he likes it.” Leilani said thrusting
the brown teddy bear towards Trunks.
“I’m glad that he does. Come ets ets go back to your
grandpa’s house. It’s getting close to dinner.”
“Trunks, will you be my new Daddy?” She asked as she
latched onto his hand.
“I guess if you want me as your Daddy. You’ll have me
and your Dad if all goes to plan.”
“I like that.” She chirped out as she ran ahead of him
to get back to her grandfathers’ home.
 


“I can’t wait for you to get back Goten.” Trunks
whispered into the light breeze.
 


 


Goten had the majority of his things packed the firstk
hk
he was back. His heart ached from being so far away from his daughter and his
new koi. Giving his apartment one last glance, Goten placed his capsules into
his backpack and closed the door to his life as ‘Ryan’ of the Redjacks.
 


Goten walked the route he had always taken back to the
recording studio. He had to say his last good byes before disappearing from the
world.
 


“Are you sure this is what you want?”
“Yeah, you know love will do some crazy things to you.”
Goten laughed.
“Okay. You take care of yourself and take good care of my
niece. I know where to find you.” Leigh whispered before giving him a huge
hu“Tha“Thanks Leigh. I owe you one“Don“Don’t even think of it. Just remember to invite me to
the wedding you hear me?”
“You got it. I got to hurry or I’m going to miss my
flight.”
“Go! Take care Son Goten.”
 


 


Dinner was quiet except for a few giggles from Leilani
laughing at her Grandpa Goku’s eating habits. Dishes were cleared and Leilani
thrown in the bathtub to get ready for bed. The lavender haired prince reclined
back on the couch kicking his feet up on the coffee table in front of him as he
started to flip channels on the television.
 


“Tonight on Entertainment Daily, the world mourns the
loss of a great singer.”
 


The television e one on as Trunks’ attention was pulled
to Leilani streaking naked from the bathroom with his father yelling at her to
get clothes on. He laughed to himself as she raced by with Goku right behind her
as she giggled more.
“It’s bed time young lady!” Goku announced scooping
up the dark hair girl and taking her to her bedroom she was using.
“But I’m not sleepy!”
“Good night Leilani.” Trunks called out before
returning his attention back to the television.
 


“Late last night flight 308 departed California LAX
terminal for Japan carrying one hundred and eighty four passengers. First class
passenger Ryan Shaw of the Redjacks was on board the plane when it went down
four hundred miles west of the island of Kawaii. Search and rescue are still on
the scene recovering wreckage, personal belongings and bodies. A friend of the
singer…”  Trunks heart stopped
the moment the woman announced Goten’s stage name.
 


“Oh Dende…No!”
 
 
*note* Trunks, Goku and Vegeta had no clue about the
'plan'. Before anyone starts to ask...
