Ch 35

Trunks had just come back from a meeting and entered his office to see his grandpa wandering around the room. "Hi grandpa, is there anything I can help you with?"

"It feels like years since I've been back here. It brings back all these great memories."

"I bet," smiled Trunks.

"Well if I haven't said it Trunks, I'm proud of you. I've been keeping a close eye on Capsule, and I couldn't be more pleased."

"Thank you grandpa it means a lot to me."

"I know you and Bunny have been butting heads lately, but she's proud of your work here to Trunks."

"Why do you think she has so resentment about my choice to be with Goten?"

"I don't know, but I think that is something you should talk to your grandmother about. Personally I have no problems with your relationship with Goten. You two have been so close since he was born, and I've observed it. It's quite extraordinary seeing your relationship develop into something deeper then friendship."

"I knew you would understand. Well it's good to see you but I—

"Have to get back to work. I know. See you at home Trunks."

Trunks was always happy to see his grandpa. He had learned a lot from him and his mother. His mother came to mind, knowing she was probably just as pissed off at his grandma as he was. He didn't want his mom and grandma to butt heads, and he knew he had to get to the bottom of this problem before it got out of hand.

It was the end of the day as Trunks locked his office door and made his way to the elevator. He was tired, but he promised Goten they'd get a start on their capsule home tonight. Just thinking about it got him back in an energetic mood.

Making his way outside the building, he made his way home. As he got to the front gate, he could sense two chaotic energies in the house. He sensed his father in the gravity room, his sister and her boyfriend in her room, and Goten waiting in the lab for him. Trunks sighed. 'It must be mom and grandma. Well I guess now is as good as time as any,' he thought as he entered the house. 'They're in the kitchen. Well good that's a great place to argue.'

Into the kitchen Trunks went as he saw them glaring daggers at each other. The scene was so unusual to him. He had never seen them at each other's throats like this.

"Uh mom, grandma we need to talk," said Trunks as he sat at the table. "This arguing can't go on. We need to get some things clear and then we won't talk about this anymore," he said as both women joined him at the table.

"All right son," said Bulma.

Trunks faced his grandma. "I love you grandma, and I appreciate everything you've done for me. I'm at a point in my life where I'm completely happy with the person I choose to spend my time with. I love Goten, and we're going to be together forever. I'm not asking for acceptance because I don't need it. It would be nice though. All I ask is not to disrespect my mate or we're going to have some problems."

"Trunks," said Bunny. "Honey I will never approve."

"Why? What did Goten ever do to you? And why is a wife, kids, and the white picket fence so important to you for me?"

"I feel you'll be more happier, and I want grandkids to spoil."

"I am happy. I'm sure Bulla and Uub will be more then happy to give you grandkids when they're older."

"That's not the point!" yelled Bunny. "I want grandkids from my grandson."

"Well you won't be getting them from me. I don't want kids, even if I did have a wife."

"BULMA! Knock some sense into your son's head," Bunny demanded.

"It's his life mom, and I love Goten. He's the perfect match for my son."

"Mom, I love you," said Trunks, "but I want you to stop fighting my battles. I'm a grown man and saiyan. You've had enough of your battles to fight in your life. You shouldn't have to fight mine."

"I know, and I'm sorry Trunks. You'll always be my baby, and I just don't like seeing any of my children hurt. I promise I won't interfere."

"Thanks mom," he said as he looked at his grandma. "If grandpa can be accepting, why can't you?"

"Yo—you talked to your grandpa."

"Yes," Trunks smiled. "He likes Goten. Hell I'm not sure I've ever met anyone who had a bad thing to say against my mate."

"It's true," said Bulma. "Even Vegeta finds him an adequate mate for Trunks and we all know how Vegeta is with people," she said as she and Trunks chuckled.

"Hey! I heard that," said Vegeta as he walked right passed them and took some things out of the fridge to heat up.

"I love you to Vegeta," she laughed before she felt him behind her. He leaned in and kissed her.

"Uh ok well I'm going to go," said Trunks. "I don't want to see this."

Trunks made his way down to the lab, realizing he forgot about meeting Goten in the lab. 'Shoot well I hope he isn't too mad at me for keeping him waiting,' he thought.

Walking down the steps to his lab, he found Goten asleep on the couch in the living space he had created in his lab when he needed to relax. Kneeling down to his sleeping mate, he smiled as he shook Goten. "Hey chibi, wake up," he said.

Goten sat up. "Tr—Trunks, oh sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep."

"It's ok. I kind of got side tracked with my mom and grandma at each other's throats, but I think I solved the situation for now anyway."

"Well that's good I guess but maybe we should start on our home project on the weekend when we're both free and more awake."

"Agreed," said Trunks as he sat next to Goten on the couch. "So, have you eaten dinner?"

"No, I was waiting for you. I thought we could eat together."

"All right," said Trunks as he stood up, "lets go upstairs. I'll order some food, and we can eat in the kitchen. I'm sure everyone's all ready eaten by now."

"Ok," said Goten as he followed Trunks upstairs.

The kitchen was empty as Trunks took out his phone and ordered dinner. Hanging up the phone, he turned to his mate who was siting at the table. Trunks joined him at the table. "The food should be here in half an hour," Trunks smiled. "Hope you won't die from starvation before then."

"Ha ha you're hilarious Trunks," he said as he smiled at him.

"So, how was your day? Better then mine I hope."

"Gohan came by the bakery today."

"Oh, what did he want?"

"Well mom told him about our relationship status."

"And he wasn't happy?"

"With Gohan it's hard to tell sometimes. I know he'll support me because he's my brother, but I think he worries about the bond we created."

"Well I guess if you're going to talk to my grandma, then it's only fair that I talk to Gohan."

"Ok, that sounds fair," Goten smiled.

Trunks smirked. "Now how much time do you think we have before the food comes?"
