Disclaimer: I'm really running out of cleaver ways to tell you that I don't own Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball Z so I'll be straight forward this time.
Twenty
There was an old saying that says that if a woman's husband comes home with a bent nose then a good wife wouldn't question it. I wonder if that saying covered black eyes and bloody knuckles. It started the day that we informed both our families of our impending wedding.
Knowing that I wasn't ready to go back to Capsule Corps Trunks asked his mother and grandparents to make the trip to our house. Also, I guessed he thought it would be safer. We all knew that more than likely Vegeta wouldn't want to make the journey.
My mother had herded both of our families into our living room where we were all sharing a cup of tea together.
"I want to stay here by my fiancée's side." Was what Trunks had said to his family shocking not only them but everyone in the room, myself included.
"You can't stay here, you're not married yet." Goten wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer and away from Trunks. "It would be indecent."
Bulma blinked, "Trunks don't be ridiculous. The wedding won't be for years; surely you two will want to wait till you're out of college. Besides, as the future president of Capsule Corps you'll need to stay close to your company."
"No, I won't." Trunks said simply and for a second I thought Bulma was going to faint.
With a shaky hand Bulma placed her tea cup back on top of its coaster. "You won't?"
"My decision of staying here with Usagi is final and as far as our wedding date is concerned we both wish to get married within the month." Trunks stated causing my mother, Bulma and Goten's jaw to drop. "I think I'll be able to manage running the company from here, I'll just have to fly to West City every morning."
"Don't you think your rushing things?" My mother asked while whipping her brow with a handkerchief.
"Yeah it's good to take your time. Use Gohan for example he's been engaged for five years and he couldn't be happier." Goten stated while receiving a death glare from our brother.
Gohan shrugged his shoulders, "Some people have different paces little brother." He turned his attention away from Goten who seemed to be seething, towards us. "I give you my blessings no matter what. If you wish to get married even tomorrow I'll do my best to help you achieve your dreams." While taking off his thick rimmed glasses he smiled at us.
Yay, the Great Saiyaman was on our side!
"I think it's absolutely wonderful you guys want to get married so quickly." Dad stated in-between bites as he continued to down his snack. "Trunks can stay with Usagi in her room." Dad stated causing Mom to spit up her tea.
My mom ran across the length of the room and while knocking the bowel out of his hand began to yell in his face. "No! He can't!"
My dad rubbed his ear, "Well, why not Chichi?"
Stupid.
My mother's face turned red with anger and I, along with everyone in the room knew that she was set to blow at any second. "Why not!?! Because, Goku we're trying to preserve our daughter's virginity not make it easily accessible to anyone that decides to come along!"
"Hey! Are you trying to say that Trunks isn't trust worthy?" Bulma shouted across the room towards my mother.
Oh boy.
"All males aren't considered trust worthy!" My mom shouted back while glaring daggers at Bulma. "Right on!" Goten chimed in while I began to nervously sip at my tea.
As if sensing that this was about to get out of hand quickly and also finding his opening Trunks cleared his throat. "Usagi isn't a virgin." Stated quite abruptly causing my jaw to drop once again and letting the tea that was in my mouth spill onto my lap.
"What?!?" My mother along with Goten screamed while Gohan ran a hand down his face and my father just looked puzzled.
"Isn't that what I just done got saying this morning when we arrived?" Trunks stated while backing up into the sofa cushions. My mother and Goten blinked. "I said I would take full responsibility for disgracing Usagi last night."
Before any other words could be spoken my mom took out her magical frying pan but before she could swing it Goten flung himself over the couch, ripped it from her hand and smacked Trunks in the face with it. "You idiotic pervert! We meant you should take full responsibility for tarnishing Usagi reputation because you stayed out all night with her! None of us actually thought you s-s-s-s.. God, I can't even say the word!"
My mother crossed her arms over her chest, "You and Usagi will be married as soon as possible and that is final."
Trunks nodded his head while holding his now red face but before he could verbally respond Goten smacked him in the face one more time.
"Goten stop that!" I yelled and Goten growled before handing the frying pan back to our mother.
Bulma sighed, "I guess there isn't anything I could say that would change anyone's mind." She shook her head, "You will come and visit won't you?" She asked and Trunks nodded. "Good. I'm sorry it's just I didn't expect you to be leaving the nest, sort of speak anytime soon Trunks." Her eyes visibly started welling up with tears.
"Mother," Trunks began to approach her wanting to comfort her but before he could reach her, her face harden.
"Must be the sayjin in you," She laughed. "Everyone knows that sayjins are so loyal to their mates its no wonder you want to stay by Usagi's side."
My chest constricted painfully in my chest.
If only she knew the extent her mate's loyalty ran.
My mother laughed, "Loyalty is one of their good traits. Now, if they would all learn to be better husbands then we might have something there." She glared at my father who nervously continued eating.
Part of me wished Master Roshi was here so he could make a snide comment like, 'Sayjin males are only loyal because they fear their wives.' I desperately needed something that would have deferred their attention away from the conversation at hand and away from Trunks and I.
During the rest of the day I barley spoke, not that anyone really thought much of it. Everyone must have figured I was a little put off since every time Trunks tried to get near me my twin blocked his efforts.
While Mrs. Briefs, Bulma and my mother cooked lunch Goten had challenged Trunks to a spare match while the rest of us including the Ox King and Mr. Briefs watched from the sidelines.
Oh, my.
It was the most painful sparing match I've witness between the two to date.
So much blood.
It makes me queasy just thinking about it.
Who knew Goten had so much pent up rage?
In the end, Trunks lost. Badly.
As the winner Goten insisted that I sit next to him during lunch and even though Trunks was a bloody pulp I couldn't resist my twin's puppy dog eyes. While handing Trunks a Senze bean I made my way inside the house as the food was being served. I thought it was kind of cute that during the course of the meal Trunks and Goten continued their battle each trading blows underneath the table and while our mothers weren't looking they threw food at each other.
"Trunks where will you stay?" Bulma suddenly asked while placing her chopsticks on top of her empty rice bowel. "The Sons have made it perfectly clear that you can't stay here until after you're wedding so where will you stay in the meantime?"
"Trunks can stay with us in our room," Goten placed Trunks in a headlock while rubbing his head with his knuckles. Trunks fought him off as his face began to change color. "No, thanks." Trunks declined my twin's offer while giving him a quick jab underneath the tablecloth. While stifling his laughter he turned back to face his mother while my twin's face turned blue. I didn't get to see exactly where Trunks had hit Goten but I'm guessing by his reaction it was somewhere pretty painful.
"I actually, that is if the Son's don't mind, was planning on living next door. I could set up my Capsule house there and after the wedding Usagi and I could move in." Trunks stated simply and if this was a shojo manga my mother would be holding up signs stating 'approval' while a parade would march behind her. But, this wasn't a manga so instead she just nodded her head once in approval.
"Fine, but you need to come home today to get your belongings and inform your Father of your decision," Bulma said and Trunks silently agreed. "Ok, if everyone's done we'll be leaving now." Without waiting for anyone's response Bulma got out of her seat and thanked my mother for the meal before heading out the door, following by her parents.
I got up to say my goodbye's to Trunks who tried to give me a kiss. As Trunks closed his eyes and leaned in towards me Goten pushed me out of the way causing my lavender haired fiancé to kiss him on the cheek instead. "Yuck!" Utterly disgusted Trunks pulled away while whipping his mouth.
"None of that before the wedding," Goten warned while pushing me behind his back. Trunks glared at him before following his family's footsteps and exiting the house.
When Trunks returned that night he returned a changed man not only on the inside but the outside as well, his body was littered in bruises and his nose was bloody.
