[ Sparring and stuff of that nature is fine since Trunks himself does it so yeah, you're off the hook there, Rokurou. ]

You're darn right you will.

[ He's holding you to that promise.

But, he also comes to sit on his bed again, blanket still around him. ]

Well, if you're sure you're ok then... heh, that Gotenks probably sure showed you, huh?

[ As he quietly preens there in his bedroom. ]

[rokubro]

Yeah, about that. [Just a bit of a pointed look.] So who is this "Gotenks," anyway? He seemed to know me.

[torankusu]

[ SWEATS. ]

Uh, he's like... a hero or something? Heh!

[ Cue awkward laughing. ]

[rokubro]

Uh huh. [See this look? It's a look of not believing.]

It's kind of funny since he called me his friend or something.

[torankusu]

Welllllllllllll who wouldn't want him as a friend? He seems pretty cool to me.

[ And... he might just duck himself under the blankets... like that will hide him from Rokurou or something. ]

[rokubro]

[It's like Trunks could feel Rokurou just staring at him.]

Called me a jerk.

[torankusu]

Heh, probably because you were doing that stuff he didn't agree with.

[ Just... going to stay hidden under the blankets... yep. ]

[rokubro]

He also had some really weird attack names.

[torankusu]

[ This is where he tosses the blanket off his head and narrows his eyes. ]

What's wrong with having cool attack names?

[rokubro]

Nothing wrong with cool, but some were a weird mouthful. What was the one he suggested to me again...

[torankusu]

[ Small hands curl into the blanket around him. ]

It's probably so cool it blew your mind and you can't even remember it now!

[rokubro]

Something about...cake? Dirt?

[torankusu]

[ Hands curling TIGHTER into blanket!!! ]

THAT!! Sounds cool to me!!!

[rokubro]

[...Mmmmmmhm.]

In that case, what would you have called it?

[torankusu]

Uh... I dunno. I'm not good with coming up with names, heh. Goten is though.

[rokubro]

[Darnit. HE WAS HOPING TO TRAP HIM, but alas.]

Oh yeah? What kind of names?

[torankusu]

[ HE MAY BE A KID BUT HE'S NOT STUPID. SHAME ON YOU, ROKUROU. ]

Really weird ones, I dunno. I just let him have fun with that kinda stuff.

[rokubro]

[HE'LL TRIP UP ONE DAY.]

Okay, so the names Goten comes up with are weird, but the ones Gotenks comes up with are cool?

[torankusu]

[ NEVER!! ]

Uh... yeah.

[ Yep. Just gonna leave it at that and even smile real brightly at that. ]

[rokubro]

[Eying. Eying.

...But he will relent for now.]

Well if you ever see him, tell him next time he shouldn't run away.

[Relent on the suspicion at least. There's just one last thing he was confused about, but he won't actually press Trunks that much about it.]

[torankusu]

Heh, why's that? It'd be embarrassing when he defeats you, wouldn't it?

[ To which he comes to lay back in his bed, pulling the blanket up around him a little better. ]

[rokubro]

If I recall, I think I'm the one who got the last hit in, so...technically that might have been my win.

[torankusu]

You know what? I would say it's probably a draw. Especially if he had to leave so soon.

[ Gently, he pats the blanket down around him, making himself rather comfortable. ]

Hey, Rokurou. No matter what happens, we can always count on each other, right? Even if people might not be happy, we have each other at least.

[rokubro]

Fine, fine. Guess I can count it like that. [And he'll just leave it at that. Until next time.

But he can't help grin a little bit at Trunks's words.]

Given how you're still speaking to me after all that's happened? Yeah, you can count on me. But you have other people who have your back, too, right?

[torankusu]

Heh, more like I have their back.

[ So smol, so strong, so confident in himself. ]

Is it ok if I come visit you in a day or two? I can bring you stuff to read if you want.
