Important A/N: Okay so this is a Goten/Videl story. I know, I know I'm a Trunks/Pan writer but this idea just keeps popping in my head and it won't leave me alone and I really wanna try it. This is an A/U by the way.
Ages:
Gohan: 34
Videl: 34
Goten: 27
Trunks: 28
Pan: 14
Bra: 13
This story will be written mostly from Videl's point of view as will this first chapter. The characters will defiantly be OOC-ish in the story. Ohh yeah and they are Saiyans but I'm not going to have mating in this story I think.
(In the italics part, Goten is all the bold "he's, him's, his's, and the other's"
Anyways I hope you enjoy it …
Chapter 1
Son has been my last name for the past fifteen years. My life was what I thought was perfect. I had a perfect husband and a perfect daughter. Gohan was my high school sweetheart and the love of my life. Pan my only child, my pride and joy.
The bright smile I wore was real then, full of emotions, the happiness, bliss, and love. Now it has secrets hidden behind it and is plastered forcefully on my ivory face like the make up I wear. When I wake up beside Gohan it is not the same, I feel that love deep in my heart but the lust isn't there, it doesn't swell my being as it used too.
When I look at the other I defiantly don't think its love but that lust my body lacks for Gohan. I crave his body but not his heart. I say I feel an undying love for my husband yet I prance to his sibling with almost eager arms.
He caused this in me. When he came back my life changed. I can't tell you whether it was for the good or bad, only that I feel one regret and that is the deceit I put upon my love. I feel complete with both of them, like they each represent a half of me. One gives me the love that swells my heart and the other satisfies the lust that rages in me. The guilt that is supposed to take over for my actions doesn't come when I'm with him and my conscious mind goes willingly to him, a man seven years my junior and not my own to have. This is the story of the pure adultery I have committed. It all started about a year ago…
Capsule Corps
I helped Chi-Chi and Bulma in the kitchen with preparing the welcome home meal. I wasn't as good as my mother-in law at cooking but I was damn better than Bulma. Trunks, Mr. President of Capsule Corps, was on his way down from his office and Vegeta was in the GR. Pan and Bra were upstairs finishing their designed t- shirts for Goten's visit back from America. He was now living as a training instructor there and had a video or two out, kind of like the Buns of Steel ones. I laughed to myself as I set the large turkey on the table and watched Gohan and Goku's mouth water at the bird as they stopped their spar in mid-air.
Gohan levitated down and slyly made his way over to me from behind and slipped his arms around my waist.
"No." I said firmly as I fixed the other dishes around the table, not glancing up at him.
"But you don't even know what I was going to ask, if I was even going to ask anything." He pouted.
"Isn't it obvious? I just so happen to walk over with a large turkey on a plate and that's when you decide to come over." I turned to face him full on. "This is for your brother. You can eat when he comes." I said and stamped my foot for effect.
"Fine." He muttered and kissed me on the lips. "I can't wait until he gets here." He didn't part our lips when he spoke and I felt his vocals vibrate off my lips.
"Get a room." I heard a familiar voice say behind us. I turned my head sharply to see the guest of honor landing behind us smirking.
"Goten!" Gohan said letting go of my waist, much to my displeasure, and going over to hug his brother, "Just the man I wanted to see!"
"Why do you say that?" Goten smiled.
"So I can eat!" Gohan laughed and added "I see that the Americans have gotten to you, listen to your accent!" He joked. Goten shoved him playfully and after a couple of jokes he turned his onyx gaze on me. Something flashed deep within his orbs before he spoke, something that I can barely describe as a type of want. It had disappeared as rapidly as it had come and his Son smile quickly returned.
"Hey Videl!" He said and walked over to hug me. I pushed the look he showed me in the back of my mind as I prepared myself for his hug. It was like no other he had given me before. Something was pouring into it that I couldn't quite place my finger on and still to this day I can not. It was a tight hold and his chin rested on my shoulder even though he was inches taller than me.
"Long time, no see." He muttered into my raven hair and his breathe tickled my ear.
A nervous laugh escaped, "Yeah it has." I voiced as I pulled back from his embrace. It was too long of one in my opinion, especially with my husband watching with endearing eyes.
Goten looked into my icy blue eyes a last time before he moved to the spot where his father was sparring by himself.
After giving the same comments and gestures as Gohan to his father, Goten excused himself and walked inside the house. Screams of happiness were heard and smooches here and there. Gohan and Goku followed a couple of minutes later and I stayed outside still setting the table and debating the hug and stare that were swirling in my head. Ten minutes later he walked out with light lipstick smears covering his forehead and cheeks. It was a Kodiak moment as he sat down at the table with an exasperated sigh.
He saw me smirking and returned it, patting the bench sit beside him. I sat beside him swinging my legs to the inside of the stand and looked at him. He stared at me a long time as if he were studying me, going over my facial features and I turned my head in a blush. No one but Gohan had made me blush in years.
He noticed how uncomfortable I was and he shifted on the bench.
"So how have things been?" He started conversation. I could feel his intense stare on me, burning holes through my body.
"Great. How about you? Find any girls that interest you?" I joked. I didn't turn for I wasn't sure if my cheeks were a normal tint yet.
What he did next shocked me. He took his fingers and placed them under my chin and pulled my face up to look at him. I stared into his midnight eyes before clearing my throat. His fingertips burned and electricity raced through the tip of my chin which he held onto lightly and shifting my gaze I looked downwards. He removed his fingers slowly, one by one.
"Everything's fine and yeah I think I found one." He finally said with a grin and he shifted more. There was something in his tone of voice and his expression that sent shivers down my spine. There was an awkward silence between us, something that had never happened before. Now that the lump in my throat had cleared and my voice box worked again I decided to speak.
"I better go check if they need any help." I said my mouth dry. I didn't know what was happening to me. This was Gohan's brother for Dende's sake and I was acting like a nervous teenage girl around him. As I got up I cast one last look at him and he was no longer looking at me but off in space and looked like he was pondering something. My feet shifted across the green grass as I made my way back inside and I remembered a while back when an adolescent Goten used to have a crush on me. It was kind of cute to watch him fumble his words and see tiny sweat beads form on his forehead.
That had ended years ago when he had left though and now he was back for a short while. I couldn't help but think there was something different about him now though. I didn't know what, but there was defiantly something different.
A/N: What did you think?
Review please. No flames please.
Next chapter will be the welcome home lunch thingy, lol.
