Vegeta was sitting on his bed staring into nothingness as he thought. He thinks about where he started in life and where he is now and says to himself: how in the hell did this happen? He is the last full-blooded Saiyan and he is stuck on earth with a crazy, but very attractive, woman and their son. Just how did it happen? From Warrior Prince to Father in under five years?! Vegeta shakes his head before he could get to mad about his current situation and starts thinking about what he should be doing to make his life easier. He could always ask Bulma to make him another spaceship so he can leave. He knows it's POSSIBLE for Bulma to raise Trunks on her own, but after seeing his son from the future he can clearly see that that boy needs a father figure. There is nothing wrong with the kid, but there is nothing right either. Vegeta could clearly see that he had low self-confident. Vegeta has been carrying low self-esteem for his whole life, but just watching Trunks fight in battle made him cringe. When they were in the hyperbolic time chamber Vegeta taught him a few things, but you cant change a persons core in only a year. Putting a band-aid on hardcore trauma like that takes years and years to do.
Vegeta gets up and goes to the kitchen. When he gets there everyone is in the kitchen. he quirks his eyebrows as he looks at the time. How long had he been thinking? It seemed just thirty minutes ago he had just finished a morning snack! Now it was dinner time. He had known that before he had looked at the clock. dinner was the only meal they all ate together. he sits in the chair next to Trunks and proceeded to fill his plate. Trunks started to bang his spoon on his plate just as Vegeta put the first bite in his mouth. He was about twenty months old and had just started on solid food. He rolled his eyes and took another bite of his meal. Vegeta was lost in thought while trunks babbled giddily, Mrs. Bunny and Bulma chatted, and Dr. Briefs read his newspaper.
Dinner was particularly loud, but this wasn't the loudest it had ever gotten. Trunks weren't screaming his vocal cords to his heart content this time. Vegeta remembers at one point Trunks was crying nonstop for a couple of days until Bulma's stamina gave out and she fell asleep, oblivious to her son's screams. Mrs. Bunny had been taking care of him for the day when she burst out crying too! Dr. Briefs tried to comfort his wife with no luck and Bulma came downstairs after her nap and started bitching really loudly. Vegeta's eardrums ache just remembering that eventful night.
Vegeta is chewing his corn when a glob of warm rice smacks him in the face. He wipes his head around and glares at Trunks. He continues to giggle as Vegeta's face goes a shade darker.
Vegeta grabs Trunks out of his high chair and hangs him upside down by his feet. His face turned red as the blood rushes to his head. When it looks like Trunks is about to start crying again, Vegeta sets him the right side up. He is giggling like a fool anymore, but he does look confused with what just happened. He keeps on putting his own face.Vegeta doesn't get any more food thrown at his face so he takes the incident as a success.
Dinner takes a while to finish because Bunny is always making a lot of food. While Vegeta doesn't mind it, he is under the impression that everyone thinks that if a Saiyan misses a meal for a day he will starve to death. Saiyans don't need to eat that much, they chose to. Honestly, a Saiyan can eat less than a human. Vegeta remembers when he was twelve and he had refused to eat that nasty shit the Frieza called food. He had lasted three months without food, and then he only ate because he was tired of hearing his stomach growl in his sleep.
"Vegeta, I have a deadline tomorrow and I need you to watch Trunks tonight," Bulma says. He rolled his eyes because he knows that she's just trying to get him to spend time with Trunks. She could have just asked him instead of lying. It's not like he has anything better to do. Plus this is as good of a time as any to get Trunks acting more like a grown man.
"Fine," he says and picks Trunks up.
"Vegeta, Honey, Do you need me to help you?" Mrs. Bunny asks when he reaches the door. He stands there a moment before answering.
"No," Vegeta says shortly and leaves. He doesn't need help. He had to take care of his little brother, Tarble after his mother was banished from planet Vegeta. he's not an expert, but he is pretty sure he knows how to do the basic stuff like take him a bath and put him to bed. He'll have plenty of time to teach him a thing or two.
"We are going to start training a little bit, Trunks. your mother doesn't think you ready, so this will be our little secret. I won't even really teach you that much just yet because I don't think you are ready for the full package either. But you should at least learn how to fly. You know how to walk already, and this is the next step. I remember this is the first thing my father taught me." At this point, Vegeta is basically talking to himself, but Trunks is listening with interest. Trunks have seen his Papa and a few of the other fighters flying, and he cants help but think it seems really fun.
"You got your self disgustingly filthy at dinner, so I'll take you a bath first and change you into some armor," Vegeta says. After Vegeta had talked to Bulma about training Trunks he decided it was best to ask Dr. Briefs to make Trunks a matching set of armor that fit him.
"Bath?" Trunks askes happily. Saiyans liked being in water due st the hot weather on their planet and it would appear that Trunks had picked up that trait. "Yes, a bath. But we are not going to take that long in the tub. we really need to work on your vocabulary. But that will be for another day."
They are already in Trunk's room by then soo Vegeta sets trunks on the floor. "Your mother says you usually play with toys in the tub. Take your pick while I draw the bath."
" 'kay," Trunks says. Vegeta puts bubbles in Trunks bath because if it is one thing he has learned from Bulma it's that bubbles make a bath ten times better. He keeps the water line low because he remembers when he was about four years old, he and his father tried to take Tarble a bath and he almost drowned. That was a terrifying day.
Trunks come in with an armful of water toy just as Vegeta is finishing up his bath. Vegeta takes and bumps them in the tub. He is about to help Trunks take off his clothes, but it looks like he's got it, so he lives him be.
Vegeta puts Trunks in the tub after he tries to climb in on his own with no success. As soon as Trunks gets in he starts splashing like a maniac and Vegeta is soaking wet before the first ten minutes is up. He lathers Trunks's body up with that fruity smelling soap that Bulma insists he uses. Vegeta doesn't wash his hair because Bulma says that it will strip away all the natural oil and make it fall out. It's not like he was keeping notes or anything, but Bulma does talk about her hair a lot.
Thirty minutes later Vegeta is rinsing Trunks off, Taking him out, drying him off and letting out the water. Vegeta puts Trunks on a pair of underwear before he carries him to his and Bulma's room to get his armor from a box under the bed and change his own clothes.
Trunks and Vegeta are already dressed when Mrs. Bunny comes in. "Are you sure you don't need help, Vegeta?" she says.
"No. We are about to start doing manly stuff now anyway." Vegeta hates the way he words it, but he figures that the best way to say it so she will leave them alone.
"Okay honey! You two have fun!" Vegeta rolled his eyes at her cheerfulness. When he first came here it kind of creeped him out, but then when he really thought about it, it wasn't the worst trait to have. To be honest, if she were stuck in a room with any of the Briefs he would rather it be her. She was relatively easy to ignore and when he wanted to talk she would talk. The only way he would want to be stuck in a room with Bulma is if they were having sex. He's not kidding, that is the extent were he can handly Bulma's loud mouth.
Vegeta told her she was loud once, and she ignored him for a week. The silent treatment she had called it. It wasn't particularly bad, but it was weird not hearing her yell and he did have to jerk off on his own a couple of times. Apparently, she thought he would come running back begging for sex because when she started talking to him again she slapped him and asked if he was gay. First, he asked what gay meant and then he pointed out if he was gay then he wouldn't have been having sex with her in the first place. She told him to shut up before dragging him to her bedroom.That night Vegeta learned how much better angry sex could be than regular sex.
Vegeta picked Trunks up again to go to the roof, but then stopped when he remembered but a helmet on him. He didn't think he was going to get hurt, but it was better safe than sorry when taking care of a kid. Plus when he was born his power level was only 2.
When they get there Vegeta sets Trunks down but holds his hand until he finds his balance. When he does Vegeta walks off the roof and floats in front of Trunks. His eyes light up with interest and he tries to walk off himself. The fall is long and Trunks are either too scared to scream or all those rides in Bulma's planes has got him immune to anything fast. Vegeta catches him before he is halfway down and sets him on the ground.
Vegeta had honestly thought it would come naturally to Trunks. That's how he learned. His father had carried him to the highest part of the castle and dropped him. Vegeta pissed himself and he still had a few things to works on to perfect it, but for the most part, he did learn it. Then he remembers that the castle was at least twice as big as this house and he was three and a half at the time.
He decided he was going to have to start with ki since scaring Trunks into flying wasn't going to work. That's how the next few hours go until Bulma cames out to say it Trunks' bedtime.
"Wow! Where did you get this battle suit, little man? You look so cute in it! You're my cute little boy!" She says as she carries him in. Trunks giggles over the praise he receives from his mother. He goes into the gravity room to train on his own for a little while. He knows to be inside before 11:00 or else Bulma would refuse to have sex with him. It's not that he needs sex, but the next morning is better when they do. And the noises she makes is just amazing. He starts getting hard just thinking about it.
Vegeta makes it in at 10:30 and takes a hot shower so he won't smell like sweat. He only puts on a pair of boxers because he knows he's going to be naked later anyway. He hops in bed and turns on the tv to wait for Bulma. Vegeta has been tv a lot lately. Mostly because everything on it is ridiculous, but also to learn the more about human language. Bulma has implied that he talks weird a couple of times. He's watching this old cartoon when Bulma walks in. He switches off the tv and sits up. She takes off her lab coat and sits on the bed.
"you know Vegeta, I've been thinking if Trunks wasn't training then why was he wearing armor?"
"Is isn't it obvious? I was training him." He answers.
"After I told you not until he was six?"
"Appears like it, doesn't it?"
Bulma is quiet for a little bit. "He fell asleep quicker than usual, so I think it's a good thing that you are teaching him something," she says.
"Yes, training usually takes some effort. Now no more talking." He says as he tugs her toward him for a kiss.
Long story short, they have a very steamy night.
