"You can stay as long as you like hun" said Bulma.
"Thanks mom but I don't plan to stay long, just enough time to sort things out"
"Alright then, just let mommy know if you need anything at all. Are you boy's hungry?"
"Nah, we already ate thanks. Besides, it's getting late so we'll probably just go to bed"
"Okay sweetie, help yourself to anything in the kitchen if any of you get hungry in the night"
"Trunks" Vegeta chimed in before he could thank his mother.
"Yeah dad?"
"I appreciate the fact that you'll probably be busy tomorrow but I want you to join me in a training session at dawn"
"Sure, but what for?"
"It's just been a while since we sparred and I want to see if your skills have diminished" he grinned.
"Fine I'll train with you"
"Good, don't be late or I'll wake you up myself"
"Heh, don't worry I'll be up and ready"
Bulma shook her head as they both grinned at each other; the tension between them was practically visible.
"Anyway" said Trunks as he stood up. "I'm gonna see what those two are doing and then crash for the night if I have to be up early tomorrow"
"Have a good night's sleep hun" she smiled.
"See you in the morning son"
"Night dad"
He walked up the stairs to his room while his parents watched him with worried stares.
He opened the bedroom door as he set an early alarm on his phone, ready to moan about his parents but when he saw Kai asleep in the middle of his bed and Goten nowhere to be seen he remained silent. He quietly walked over to the covered up boy who was breathing heavily whilst in a deep sleep and visually examined him.
"He's a cute kid I guess" he thought. "I suppose I do get angry when I think about his father hurting him...I doubt my feelings are as intense as chibi's though"
Before he could move towards the sleeping boy to completely cover him up, Goten emerged from the bathroom ruffling his raven hair with a towel whilst in a pair of Trunks' navy blue pyjamas.
"How long has he been out?" asked the prince.
"About fifteen minutes I guess"
"Right...chibi?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry..."
"Huh?" he said as he placed the towel on the radiator.
"I'm sorry for making stupid accusations about you and Kai and I'm sorry for being kinda cold hearted about this situation at times"
He hid the sadness in his eyes with his lilac fringe as he stared at the carpet awaiting a reply.
"Don't be sorry" he said, walking towards him. "I understand your cautiousness of any situation. You knew I wouldn't let this one go and you accepted it...eventually. I'm very grateful"
He gripped Trunks' strong hands and the couple shared a passionate kiss.
"Just look at him..." said Goten. "I bet he never slept like that living with that bastard. He was probably terrified every night"
Familiar anger began to stir within the younger saiyan.
"Easy chibi, he doesn't have to go through anything like that anymore. Tomorrow I'm going to take the day off work and get everything sorted" he smiled.
"Thanks Trunks...I love you"
"Love you too"
With that said, the prince removed his shirt and trousers before slipping on a pair of black pyjama bottoms. Goten quietly got into the bed behind the sleeping Kai so Trunks slid into the other side where he had full view of the boy's adorable features.
"See you in the morning chibi" he whispered.
"Not if I see you first"
"So lame" he laughed under his breath.
The two linked hands over Kai for a little while before giving into sleep.
A faint repetitive vibration from the prince's phone woke him from deep sleep. Usually he would just ignore it or hit the snooze button but when he remembered the reason he set the alarm in the first place he slowly sat up and reached for his trousers on the floor to retrieve it from his pocket. He yawned quietly as he switched off the alarm then groaned when he saw five thirty on the blinding screen. He looked over at the adorable two still sleeping soundly which forced a smile on his face. Quietly, he slid from under the covers and retrieved his gi from the wardrobe. Once dressed in the appropriate attire he opened the door slightly, closed it behind him after leaving the room and walked down the stairs.
To his surprise, Vegeta was already in the kitchen in his training outfit eating from one of the two steaming bowls of rice on the table.
"Hey dad..." he yawned again while stretching.
Without saying a word his father pushed the other bowl towards the nearest chair and signalled for his son to sit. Not complaining, he joined him at the table and began to dig in. After finishing their meals in silence Vegeta stood up and put the empty bowls on the kitchen side for Bulma.
"So are you ready for some training?" asked Vegeta.
"Ready as I'll ever be" he grinned back at him.
"What about Goten, isn't he coming to help you?"
"Nah he's still asleep besides, I won't need his help this time"
"Heh...we'll see son"
After their little attempts of provocation they headed for the gravity control room and once inside they began their muscle stretching exercises.
"So what gravity do you wanna spar in dad?"
"Forget that. I don't want anything interfering with our skills"
"Fair enough, just remember this isn't a fight to the death. I still need to be able to function properly today"
"Yes yes of course, just a harmless little fight" he smirked.
"Okay...ready?"
A lightning fast shoulder barge into the steel wall at the far end of the room was not what he expected as an answer but that is the one he received.
"Ready!" Vegeta laughed.
"Well, that wasn't very fair" he said whilst rubbing the forming bruise on his chest.
"If you thought of me as an enemy and not your father then you would have dodged that little attack"
"Heh, yeah I guess so..."
Trunks then dashed towards his father and slammed a punch against his defending arms that would have hospitalized any normal person. They then linked their hands together in an attempt to make the other person cave. The strain in their faces was obvious as the auras around them were battling for superiority. Trunks knew that he had improved but he also knew that his father trained a whole lot more than he had over the years, therefore his strength would inevitably be greater. The lilac haired prince felt his legs begin to shake as Vegeta continued to pile on the pressure so he decided to rely on his intelligence more than his strength. He quickly took a step back making his dad lose his balance. In the momentary confusion he managed to release himself from the powerful grip, launch himself over the powerful saiyan and the second he touched the ground he mimicked his father's actions and shoulder barged him into the wall.
"Anything you can do..." he huffed. "I can do better"
Vegeta quickly shook off the effects of the unexpected attacks and smirked at his son.
"Well played..." said Vegeta as his black hair began to flicker gold.
Even though Trunks warned him to not go overboard with the sparring, the lust for battle started to sway his judgement; his lavender hair also began to change form and colour.
"I'm just getting started"
Each giving a devilish grin they dashed forward, excited about the inevitable clash.
At seven thirty noise from downstairs interrupted Goten's sleep. He felt something tickling his nose before he attempted to move and once he started open his eyes he realised it was Kai's shaggy hair. The scent emanating from him became too enticing so he quickly but quietly removed himself from the bed, put on a shirt and dressing gown then exited the room. The delectable smell of a fried breakfast attacked his sensitive nose which made him cast any discretion aside and rapidly descended the stairs, only to stop in his tracks when he saw Trunks looking a bit worse for wear sitting at the table with his father who did not look too great either. The saiyan's immediate instinct was to rush over and check how bad any bruises or grazes he had received were but because of Vegeta sitting next to his boyfriend, he managed to suppress the urge, for now.
"What happened to you two?" he asked as casually as he could whilst hesitantly sitting at the table.
"Morning chibi, we just...had a bit of a sparring session this morning" he smiled.
"I see...are you alright?"
Goten looked over at Vegeta who had his arms folded and eyes closed, waiting for his wife to hurry up with his food.
"I'll live, what about you dad?" he laughed.
The prince of all saiyans just muttered an un-amused noise. Secretly he was proud of his son for holding his own the way he did but was not ready to admit it.
"Breakfast is almost ready boys. Does Kai want anything?"
"He's still asleep" said Goten. "I don't want to wake him just yet"
"Aww, you're so sweet Goten!" Bulma gushed. "I bet he thinks of you two as his new parents, hehe"
"Mom, don't say that!"
"W-Well...I hope he does or will eventually"
Vegeta slowly opened his and glared over at the blushing saiyan which made him instantly stare at the floor. Trunks just buried his face in his palm and the trio of men waited for their breakfast in silence.
After an uncomfortable breakfast, the couple thanked Bulma and went back upstairs to Trunks' room. Kai was still fast asleep when they entered so they quietly gathered chosen items of clothing for the day and went into the bathroom. Before Trunks could say anything Goten swiftly removed the top half of his gi to inspect any possible damage.
"Chibi, I'm fine it's just a few bruises. I'm pretty sure my dad has a few too"
"S-Sorry...I just worry a lot. I mean, can you blame me after what your dad did to us after our last so called sparring match?"
"True...he did completely batter us" he laughed. "Anyway none of that is important right now. I've got to get ready and start sorting this situation out but first things first, shower"
"Need some company?" winked the little saiyan as he switched the water on.
"No, but I would like some"
With that said they stripped down and stepped into the welcoming hot water. Goten grabbed a sponge and squirted some shower gel onto it and began to wash his partners back.
"So...what are you going to do today?"
"Make a few phone calls to work and our now ex landlord. He won't be happy but it can't be helped I guess"
"If we just pay what we owe then he can't really complain, right?"
"Guess not. I'll also look for a new apartment"
"Want me to come with you?"
"Nah, it's okay. Besides, what'd Kai do if he woke up and it was just my parents here? He'd either be scared to death by my dad or smothered to death by my mom"
"You've got a point" he giggled.
He then glided the sponge around to Trunks' waist beginning to caress his tender abs whilst sliding his free hand down the small of his back around to his thigh until he came into contact with his groin.
"I know I can cause you a lot of stress sometimes..." Goten said in his ear because of the noise of the rushing water spraying down on them. "But I can also help relieve some of it"
"M-Mmhmm, you sure can" he moaned as his member continued to grow from being stroked.
The shaggy haired saiyan rested his cheek of the back of his lover's neck as he gripped the shaft and sensually moved his hand up and down, enticing more pleasing noises from him. Inevitably, Goten's own penis became heard from hearing his partner moan in pleasure and he began to grind it against his toned behind.
"Ch-Chibi, I won't last long if you keep that up"
Goten didn't really give a response apart from breathing heavily on his neck whilst increasing the speed of his hip and hand movements. They were so wrapped up in the intense feelings of ecstasy that they didn't hear a groggy Kai open the door because he needed to use the bathroom.
The image of Goten pleasuring his boyfriend in the shower would forever be ingrained into his brain which was not a bad thing he thought; the shock he felt was merely because he was completely unprepared to see such a strangely compelling sight in his mind. Not wanting to impose or disturb them he decided he could hold it a little longer so he quietly stepped back and shut the door; besides, it would have been rather difficult to do what he needed to at that point in time after experiencing the effects of witnessing his best friends/saviours in the throes on passion so all he could do was switch the television on, sit on the end of the bed and wait, hoping that his face and erection would cool down before they emerged from the bathroom.
The lilac haired prince grinned at his little lover as he ran his tongue over his fingers, clearing up Trunks' mess whilst the hot water took care of the essence that trailed up his back.
"You're the best chibi"
"I know" he smiled, licking his lips.
They eventually finished up in the shower, brushed their teeth, got dressed, and shared a loving kiss before exiting the bathroom only to find Kai watching television. The instant he glanced at the two his cheeks went bright red again.
"Hey sleepyhead" said Goten.
"H-Hello"
"How are you feeling?" asked Trunks.
"...Fine, thank you" he muttered quietly, looking down at his lap.
"Okay then, I better be off. Chibi will look after ya while I'm gone"
"You bet!"
The boy silently nodded and smiled at both of them before bowing his head again.
"See you guys in a few hours. Mom's saved some breakfast for you for when you're ready to come down Kai"
"Th...Thank you"
He ruffled the boy's hair and gave Goten a quick kiss before leaving his room.
"I'm going out for a while" he shouted to his parents as he descended the stairs.
"Oh, hold on a sec sweetie!" said Bulma, grabbing her purse whilst her son slipped his coat on.
"What is it?"
"I just need a few things for dinner tonight" she smiled, presenting him with a little list.
"Come on mom, I've got a lot to do" he groaned
"Don't be silly, it's only a couple of things. It's for you boys more than it is for me"
"I can't argue with that..." he sighed and took the list. "Where's dad gone?"
"More training, I think you surprised him a little" she giggled.
"Heh, I surprised myself. I'll see you in a bit" he said before letting her kiss his cheek and exiting the house.
The saiyan decided to walk into town instead of flying or driving so he had more time to think about his future with Kai in the picture; the idea didn't displease him it just took some getting used to.
It took him just under half an hour to reach the town centre and in that time he had already contacted Capsule Corp, informing them that he needed to take a few days off and also his landlord letting him know that they had to leave suddenly for personal reasons but assured him that they would pay what they owe all at once. With those annoyances out of the way he took some time to look at apartments on offer in the windows of numerous estate agents, wishing he could afford prices for the big swanky houses on display. After saving a couple contact details in his phone for a few affordable places he decided to head for the nearest supermarket and as fate would have it, it happened to be a more expensive one than most.
"I hope mom doesn't think I'm gonna pay for everything she wants" he sighed, digging the list out of his pocket as he walked towards the entrance. It was then that he felt someone violently yank the collar of his coat, slam his back against the building and put an arm to his throat; he quickly realised it was Kai's angry looking father when he gathered his bearings.
"Where the fuck is my son?!"
