Bra, Goten, Pan and Marron are searching for Trunks. He had dissapear since three days. Bra goes in his bedroom for the x time, knowing that he wouldn't be there. But she notices that the screen of his computer had changed : there is a little window with a black backround and red letters opened. She reads it and immediatly starts to scream.
- GUYS!!!!!! I found something!!! Come here, quick!
They arrive quickly and Goten reads the message loud.
Hey guys. If you're reading this, then it's because I'm gone. There's only one thing I'd like you to do for me. I'm living hard time right now. Don't search me, you can't find me ever without Goku. Now go on the new red document on the top of the screen. Open it. There is all my mp3 there. There is 2 documents : mine and the ones I loaded. Open mine. There is a song titled " I'm not the guy you think I am ". Listen it please and try to understand. After, delete it or sell it, do whatever you want. Forgive me if I hurt you with leaving like that, but… You'll see…
They look at each others, uncertains. Then Bulma arrives, alerted by Bra's scream.
- What's going on, kids?
- We found a message from Trunks, says Pan. He wants us to listen one of his songs.
- Are are you waiting for? Do it!
Bra follows her brother's instructions and opens the mp3 file. A slow and sad music begins.
Trunks always had wonderful voice. He recorded many of is songs on his computer but he made his family and friends hear it rarely. It was his secret hobby…
" Aoi kaze no ai wa soo yasashii
Inochi wa soo hidoi
I feel wind on my face but don't feel better
I can't keep that secret any longer
You can't escape from truth
You can't escape from life
You can only escape from people… "
Bra and Pan echange a look. Trunks sounds very sad. Bulma frowns, worried.
" I'm not the guy you think I am
You couldn't know who I am
But I do since that girl
Kissed me for the very first time
A so long time ago
It was clear I couldn't be that kind of guy
Love is such a hard thing for me
It's not like if it was bad
People even says it's ok
But I know they wouldn't really understand
Surely not accept
I kept it within my heart, tried to forget
But now I can't anymore "
- What is he talking about? murmures Bra.
- He kissed a girl! says Pan, shocked.
- He've been kissed, says Goten. Shut up, now…
There is a little musical moment. It's a very sad song and Bulma feels tears coming to her eyes. She's starting to understand and feels so sorry for her son…
" It's not that I can't get a girl
There's so many around
It's not that they're not pretty or nice
They sure are, I know
But I can't love a girl
I simply can't love any girl at all
Since that kiss I know
Whom my love belongs to
I could keep denying but why?
Dad sure will want to kill me
So I leave and hide forever gone I am
Don't search me it's useless
Gomen nasai okasan, otousan
Bra-chan-tachi
I'll keep my love inside of me
It can't be reveled ever
I'll keep dreaming of those eyes, of this voice
You will never know which one "
- Trunks…
Bra tries to comfort her mother, but she still doesn't understand what Trunks is singing… Goten and Marron seem to start understanding, and suddenly Marron breaks down in cries. Goten passes an arm around her shoulders, sorry. Pan is just listening at the song, as lost as Bra is.
" How is it that love is so painful?
How is it that I can't handle it?
It used to be a game for everyone
Except me, of course
I'm sorry everyone, I'm not the guy you though I was
Gomen nasai minna
Aoi kaze no ai wa soo yasashii,
Inochi wa soo hidoi
Watashi no ai no toki wa koko made da
Gomen nasai "
Trunks' voice vanishes in the music. Bra looks at everybody, confused like Pan.
- Why are you crying, Marron? Mom? What does he mean?
- Bra… says Goten, grave. You really didn't understand all the things he said?
- No, if I had, I wouldn't be asking you!
- Goten, just say it, says Pan.
Goten looks at Bulma, but she's gone. Marron is ending her crying, but is still trembling.
- Trunks… Left because… He is… Hum… He is…
- So he is what? asks Pan. Say it!
- Trunks is gay.
Silence. Bra and Pan look at Trunks. Then Bra starts laughing like if she was crazy.
- No, no, no, you're kiding! Trunks is not gay, it's impossible!
- Why not? asks Pan, dark.
She leaves immediatly. Bra looks at her, at Goten, at Marron.
- No… It's a joke, huh? Tell me it is…
- He said that… People wouldn't understand, murmurs Marron.
She leaves too. Goten can't face Bra, so he turns his face away. Bra takes his arm.
- Goten, did he told you something or what?
- No, never… I wouldn't have ever know without that.
- But… He doesn't look like a gay and doesn't act like…
- Look and act like a gay? Bra, you're such a brat. Can't you think a little bit about him? Don't you know what he felt like all that time? He knew that people doesn't like gays. So he kept it for himself and he suffered! He's in love right now, I don't know with who, but do you imagine what would happen if he'd tell it?
Bra's cheeks turn to red. Goten can be so hard… He calms down and sights.
- Sorry I screamed, Bra-chan. But try to be more open-minded and to understand and accept it. You can't do anything but help or ruin Trunks a little more. I thought that as his own sister you would help him.
- I will, Goten! Of course I will, whatever he is, he's still my brother! But… It's still strange…
- He's gone, Bra-chan. We must find him and take him back. At least he must knows we understand and that nothing will change between us.
- For you and me, maybe, but Pan, Marron, mom and dad? Dad… He's gonna kill him for sure!
- Vegeta doesn't need to know. Nobody else has to know. Now go talk with Marron and Pan, I think they need you. I'll talk to Bulma.
- Ok… You know, Trunks is lucky to have a friend like you, for sure.
She smiles and leaves. She'd like to help her brother, but she still can't admit that he's gay. It's too weird…
Goten shackes his head. Kids… He looks at the screen and makes the song play again. It's very sad, he perfectly feels all Trunks' pain.
- Gee, Trunks, why didn't you told me? Am I your bestfriend ever or not? You didn't need to leave…
End
Ok, this is maybe not my best fanfic. But it's about accepting and/or being gay and all that… I think the message was clear, so… Just be sure to e-mail me what you think!
