Ch 21
Trunks was walking home from work when he saw a familiar couple, his grandparents, meeting with two other people he couldn't quite make out. Curious, he followed them to a restaurant in the city. Being as stealthy as he could be, he followed them into the restaurant, requested to be seated in the booth right next to them, and waited for what conversation would occur.
"Dr. Briefs, Bunny, what are we doing here?" asked Chichi. "You said it was urgent."
"It's about your son and our grandson," said Dr. Bunny.
This got Trunks curious as he moved to the other side of his booth, so he could hear better. Luckily there was an obstruction between his and their booth so they couldn't see him.
"We want to break them up," said Bunny.
"There's no way that's possible," said Chichi. "They're bonded. We'd only be hurting them more," said Chichi.
"They'll get over it Chichi," said the Ox King. "We're listening."
"Dear I'm not sure this is such a good idea," said Dr. Briefs. "They will hate us for the rest of our lives if they ever find out."
"They won't if you keep your mouth shut," said Bunny.
"How would we break them up in the first place?" asked Chichi.
"I'm glad you asked Chichi," said Bunny. "We erase their memories of each other with my husband's invention. They'll never know the other and move on with their lives."
"When would we put this plan into action?" asked the Ox King.
"Tomorrow night," said Bunny. "Don't worry my husband and I will take care of everything. You just need to be ready in your car by 10PM to pick up your son and take him away."
"No one will get hurt. The plan sounds good to me," said the Ox King. "We're in," he said as their food came to the table.
Chichi was feeling uneasy about the whole thing, but she knew it would be the only solution to get her son away from Trunks and onto a normal life. Looking at Dr. Briefs, she could see his struggle as well. She looked away before his eyes could catch hers.
"A toast!" Bunny exclaimed as she raised her glass. "To the happiness of Trunks and Gotten."
"I think it's highly inappropriate to toast this," said Chichi as she got up from the booth. "It's not exactly easy to hurt my son like this."
"You're forgetting Chichi. Goten won't even know you did anything, neither will Trunks."
"We'll be there at 10PM," said the Ox King. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight," smiled Bunny as she looked over to her husband. She could see his doubt, but she knew she had him wrapped around her little finger. The plan would go through.
Trunks was livid, and it took every part of him not to transform into a Super Saiyan in the restaurant. Taking deep breaths in and then out, he sat back and tried to cool down. Hearing footsteps coming his way, he looked up to see the waitress.
"Are you ready to order?" she asked.
"I'm sorry I suddenly lost my appetite," said Trunks as he grabbed his coat and left the restaurant.
The cool air felt good on his skin, but his insides felt on fire. He was raging, and needed to get somewhere deserted before he hurt someone. Finding a deserted alleyway, he took off into the night as fast as he could. He wished he could forget what he heard, but he couldn't.
Once he got to a deserted canyon, he was surprised how easy it was to let go. It felt good to release all his pent up energy. He had been holding in so much over the years. Exhausting himself, he landed on the edge of the cliff and fell off it. "Shit!" yelled Trunks as he was unable to summon enough energy to fly as he fell deeper and deeper into darkness until his body hit the ground.
Trunks groaned as he opened his eyes to darkness. Looking up, he could see nothing but darkness. He sighed as he sat up. 'Thank Dendei I'm half-saiyan or else I would have been in real trouble.' Checking his pockets, he discovered his cell phone had been crushed. 'Just great,' he thought and then an idea came to him. 'Goten, chibi, can you here me?'
'Trunks! Where are you?'
'I—I'm stuck in a canyon, and my energy is shot. I need you to get me. I promise I'll explain everything when we get home.'
'All right I'm on my—
"Father?" said Trunks as he watched him fly down into the canyon.
"Tell your mate I have this under control."
'Never mind Goten, my dad's here. I'll see you at home all right. I love you.'
'Love you to Trunks.'
With his father's arm wrapped around him, they flew out of the cave and back to West City. The flight was quiet, but Trunks still felt uneasy around his father.
"I know what you're thinking son. The hands holding you now are the hands that have killed many, even innocent beings. It's hard to wrap your mind around."
"I can't deal with this now father. Something has happened."
"What is it Trunks?"
"I'll tell everyone when we get home."
"Did you get out what you needed to ?"
"Yeah, I needed to let go."
The room was quiet after Trunks had explained to his family, Goten, and Uub what had happened at the restaurant. The tension was suffocating to Trunks as he shifted in his stance in the living room.
"I—I can't believe it," said Bulla. "Grandpa and grandma would try to hurt you and Goten like this."
"It was more like grandma holding the reins Bulla. She was so cold and uncaring, and it just—I couldn't even muster up the courage to tell them off. I was afraid I was going to blow up the restaurant and everyone in it," said Trunks.
"Well I'm sure as hell going to give them hell when I see them again," said Bulma as Vegeta smirked.
"That's right. You'll have to confront them, right?" asked Uub.
"Yes, but what's the plan?" asked Vegeta.
"Aren't grandma and grandpa suppose to come by tomorrow night?" asked Bulla.
"They'll think we're all asleep, and that's when we confront them," said Trunks.
"What about Chichi and the Ox King?" asked Bulma.
"You leave them to me," said Goten, who had been quiet the whole time.
"You want to confront them by yourself?" asked Bulla.
"I need to do this. It's been a long time coming," said Goten as he felt his mate's hand on his shoulder.
"If you need me—
"I know," smiled Goten.
"So sweet," said Bulma as Goten blushed in embarrassment. "Anyway I'm just sorry this has to happen. You two deserve to be accepted by the people who love you."
"Thanks mom," said Trunks. "We know this can't be easy for you either."
"Yeah, they're your parents," said Goten.
"Well if someone threatens the people I care about, especially my babies, they're going down," said Bulma.
"Aw mom," blushed Bulla, "do you have to embarrass us?"
"I think it's sweet she cares about you and Trunks so much that she would fight for you both," said Goten.
Bulma smiled. "I knew I loved him for a reason," she said as she hugged Goten. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," he smiled as he hugged her back, feeling the support of someone who always had his back.
Goten was in bed resting comfortably, waiting for Trunks to join him in bed. When he heard the light flick off in the bathroom, he knew Trunks was coming out. Turning in bed to face his mate, he saw Trunks' smile and smiled back as he got into bed.
"Tonight was something, wasn't it?" asked Trunks.
"You know I knew my mom and grandpa didn't approve of our relationship, but I never thought they would take it this far. I guess that's what hurts the most."
"I wish this wasn't happening to you chibi. I mean I feel the same way about my grandparents. I never thought they'd actually have a plan. I just thought they would disapprove from afar."
"This is just depressing, especially with Christmas coming up."
"I know but maybe we can cheer each other up," said Trunks as he looked right into the eyes of his mate before kissing him passionately on the lips.
Goten could feel himself melting at Trunks' touch. Pressing his body against Trunks', he heard Trunks moan and felt his arms around his waist. Wet kisses descended down his neck, and he sighed in pleasure as he felt Trunks' hands under his night shirt. When he heard Trunks groan, he could feel his frustration. "Trunks?"
"Why must you wear so much clothing?"
"It's cold, and it's winter Trunks. You know I'm sensitive to the cold."
"I'll warm you up. You don't have to worry about that," said Trunks as he removed his own boxers, throwing them on the floor. "Now I'm taking your clothes off," he said as he got on top of Goten and started to unbutton his shirt, removing it in no time. Goten paid attention to how focused Trunks looked and couldn't help but laugh. "What?" asked Trunks.
"You look cute when you're annoyed," Goten said as he moved his concentration from Trunks' face to his body. Moving his hand down his chest, his hand stopped at his member. He gave it a light squeeze before he started stroking Trunks.
"Uh oh shit chibi!" Trunks moaned as he came all over Goten's bare chest and face. It was Trunks' turn to laugh, but he was startled as Goten wrestled him down onto the bed beside him. Trunks won the wrestling match and had his mate right where he wanted him. He smirked. "Now the pants come off chibi," he said as he tore them off along with his boxers. "Looking at his naked mate below him, he felt his desire to take Goten overwhelm him.
"Do you have to do that every time Trunks? You know how uncomfortable it makes me," said Goten as he tried to cover himself.
"I can't help it chibi," said Trunks as he pressed their naked bodies together, hearing his mate moan. "I love making love to your body."
"What are you waiting for then?" asked Goten as he kissed Trunks' cheek.
Trunks entered his mate and moved vigorously inside him, causing Goten to cry out in pleasure so loud that he thought he was going to lose his voice. He would have been worried about someone hearing him, but he couldn't concentrate on that now. Trunks was doing wonderful things to his body, and he was enjoying it. When he pleasured Trunks, he wondered if Trunks felt as much pleasure when he was the one giving it. "O-oh God chibi l—love you!"
