The Dance of Ai Shiteiru
"OH, MY LOVE, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE,
MY EYES ARE WIDE OPEN.
OH, MY LOVER, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE,
MY EYES CAN SEE".
OH MY LOVE
By John Lennon and Yoko Ono
When the warrior got the call from Bulma telling him that her adult son, Trunks, had returned permanently from the future, and that she was throwing him a welcome home party, he couldn't have been more pleased. And now, he was moved by the intensity of his desire as he prepared for the evening that awaited him at Capsule Corporation. The warrior had already prepared his 17 year daughter for the fact that if the evening progressed as he hoped, she would be spend the night at Capsule Corporation and he would return for her in the morning. And Hannah had smiled and wished her father good fortune with this man because she believed that her father had spent far too much of his life alone. She had known all of her life that her father was gay, and would be shocked and almost saddened at this point to see him in the arms of a woman. It simply was not who he was.
Her mom had always been honest with Hannah about the nature of her relationship with the warrior. Hannah knew that for her father, it was a deep friendship, void of passion, but her unfortunate mom had fallen deeply in love with him and that had continued for years. And then one night 18 years ago, she had told Hannah that she had approached the warrior and told him of her deep need to have a child. And she had known that the warrior had always felt a sense of loss because he felt fatherhood was beyond his grasp. And so, when she told him of her desire to have him father a child for her, he agreed to participate. What Hannah's mom didn't tell her was that he never once opened his eyes, and that he had prepared himself apart from her, and when the time came for intimacy with her, it was only for his release. Yet, he lovingly held close her afterwards, and told her he was very pleased about the possibilities of being a father, while at the same time making it very clear that even if this act produced no child, it would never happen again.
And the warrior looked over at his daughter, and he was moved by the fact this beautiful young woman now stood in his home. It wasn't often that he got to see her and now he had the honor of spending two whole weeks with her, as her mom was off on her honeymoon, finally allowing herself to respond to the love a man who not only loved her, but loved her gender too. He would always carry love in his heart for Hannah's mother, yet he was never in love with her and she had never stirred his passions, however hard she had tried over time. And he smiled when he thought of her now and what he hoped she was doing, and he hoped that her mate was a man of great passion, and was giving her what she needed and deserved.
And as his thoughts turned to lavender haired object of his passion, the tall warrior wasn't sure why the son of Bulma and Vegeta appealed to him as he did. Perhaps it was because his parents were two of the most erotic people the warrior had ever met. He had grown up with Bulma, and she was beautiful and he almost found himself almost feeling genuine desire for her on occasion. And Vegeta was one of the most beautiful males he had ever seen, and it was a good thing for the Saiyan Prince that he was so hostile at the time, making him extremely undesirable in the warrior's eyes. Perhaps it was that their son was a combination of the both of them, even though much of his potential was still hidden from his own view.
Eight years ago, when Trunks returned right before the Cell Games, the warrior could have easily taken the boy, but he simply was not willing to live with the thought that he had seduced a 16 year old boy because of his own selfish need, a boy who's loyalties and ties to the future were still too strong to hold him in the past. And so he refused the lavender haired boy's advances deciding it was easier and more honorable to live a life of self-control. And he told Trunks that should he ever decide to return, they would once again explore the possibilities of a life together.
"Are you ready, Hannah?" he asked as he gently gathered his beautiful daughter up into arms imagining the look on all their faces when he, an openly gay warrior, walked into Capsule Corporation with his daughter on his arm and walked out with the adult Trunks Briefs in them. And he loved the idea of it.
"Lets go introduce you to my world, daughter", he said laughing. And with that, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and holding her close, he took to flight toward Capsule Corporation in his arms, even though she knew full well how to fly on her own.
As was typical for Bulma, this party was a huge success and almost everyone had shown up, even Piccolo. Gohan had brought Videl, and Bulma figured it was only a matter of time until the two of them got married. They were almost sickening in their continuous pawing of each other. And she was relieved to see that her husband was at least tolerating being in the same room with Goku. Krillin and 18 had just arrived, and she was just in her beginning stages of pregnancy and she looked so cute and embarrassed each time she attempted to explain that she really was a human, but that Dr. Gero had altered her body and that she was indeed a fully functioning woman. And to make matters worse for her, Krillin would follow close behind telling everyone just how well she functioned. Master Roshi, Puar (who decided it was best to leave Yamcha at home) and Oolong, were there along with Mr. and Mrs. Briefs, and Goku, ChiChi and Goten. And everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time, and it felt good to get everyone back together again.
But Vegeta kept watching Trunks, as something was up and his curiosity was piqued to the point of not letting go of it until he determined what was going on. Even Chibi was aware that something was up with Trunks as he approached his father, telling Vegeta that he had noticed that Trunks' ki was bouncing off the walls. So the two of them together set out on a mission that evening, and it became a father and son detective team, Holmes and Watson at it's finest.
But they didn't have to wait very long when the doorbell rang and Tienshinhan walked in with his beautiful daughter on his arm. And for just a second, the sound of silence in the room was deafening as everyone noticed that he was there with a female.
And he stood there laughing at everyone and told them all to pick their jaws up off he ground, that they looked like a bunch of stupid bakas that way!
"Let me introduce you all to my beautiful daughter Hannah" he began, "who will be staying with me for a little while this summer while Launch is on her honeymoon. And let me dispel your foolish notions right now about where, when, and how she came about between Launch and me, because just like with all of your own children, the stork brought this beautiful child to us as well. I hope you will all make her feel welcome", and turning to Trunks as he spoke, he added, "and I have told her all about you".
"Poppa! He looked at Trunks the same way you look at mom sometimes", Chibi 'Watson' said smiling, feeling proud of himself for discovering the first clue.
"Yes son, I saw that too. This evening is going to prove to be very interesting! We'll keep an eye on things, Chibi, but for now you go play and have fun", the Saiyan 'Sherlock' said as he launched his young son back to the party.
Trunks was now trying to act very casual as he mingled with everyone and Chibi finally got his chance to introduce Trunks to Goten, and the first question Goten asked was whether or not he was stronger that Gohan. And with that, Goten called Gohan over and Vegeta saw a different type of look in his adult son's eyes as he stood and spoke to Gohan, and his blood began to boil.
"Hey Vegeta!" Krillin said complete with the back slap that seemed to accompany him now, which nearly always sent Vegeta 3 feet into the air as his feet stayed on the ground, because he always seemed to do it whenever Vegeta was deep in thought about something.
And with that, Vegeta bent over, got real close to Krillin's ear and told him in no uncertain terms that he was prepared to blast Krillin right into oblivion, with great joy and without remorse, should he ever decide to touch him again. And with that, Vegeta walked away. And Gohan had returned to Videl.
It didn't take long for Vegeta to realize that a dance as old as time was beginning to unfold right before his very eyes between his son and Tienshinhan. Their attraction to each other was obvious to him. He noticed that Tien was bold in approach with Trunks, yet Trunks was too afraid to respond openly, even though he appeared to want to. And Vegeta found himself growing angry over his son's weakness, determining that Trunks would not be suitable mate for someone as powerful as Tienshinhan if he kept this up.
And growing frustrated with Trunks as well, Tien sat down beside him.
"I have noticed that throughout this evening, you look at me with desire, Trunks, but you have yet to even join me or come and stand by me. Why is that? Have I completely misread your desire for me? I had come here tonight anticipating that this would be the night in which we would take each other as mates, and now I find that you are still too ashamed of who you are to even come and talk with me. So be it then, Trunks. I won't have you if you refuse to walk openly with me." And with that, Tienshinhan got up and walked away and joined the rest of the z fighters who were already in a lively conversation.
And Trunks looked at Krillin and 18, and Krillin had his arm around 18 and was showing her great affection, and he wasn't ashamed. And he looked at Gohan, who couldn't seem to keep his hands off Videl and he wasn't ashamed, and then he noticed the way Goku would look at ChiChi as though he wanted to devour her just like when his father looked at his mom. Trunks knew that the love and the desire that he felt in his heart for Tienshinhan was real too, just as real and as just as powerful as what the straight couples were feeling, and he truly wanted to spend the rest of his life with Tien and so, however timidly, he arose to his feet, knowing that he was about to come out and show everyone there that he was gay. He hoped that Vegeta would still love him but his father was not his future. The tall warrior that he was about to lose was, and Trunks decided that he wanted that future more than he had ever wanted anything else in his life. And so he went and stood beside Tien at that conversation, and when Tienshinhan put his arm around him and smiled at him, he didn't pull back or stop him. And Trunks began to tremble, and it was not from fear.
Trunks saw that the others adjusted quickly after they realized what was transpiring right before their eyes and nothing changed in the way they looked at him. And Vegeta was proud of his son for going after what he wanted, and Tienshinhan had earned a new level of respect in Vegeta's heart for making his son do so. 'He is a strong and powerful warrior and he is a man of honor', Vegeta thought to himself, 'my son has done well'.
Vegeta was not bound by human male standards of masculinity and mating. He detested weakness and was aroused by strength and power, and simply was marked as Bulma's mate by her a long time ago and he happily expressed himself intimately within those confines, but not because he felt it was wrong for two males or two females to form mated pairs. For Vegeta, the only absolute truth in his life worthy of judgment was that flagrant weakness was shameful and detestable; a concept that was not confined to sexual matters alone, in Vegeta's mind.
And in the course of the evening, Vegeta approached Tienshinhan and in accord with Saiyan tradition as old as time itself, Vegeta turned possession of his child over to the warrior and suggested he take Trunks out to the quiet place to perform their dance of Ai Shiteiru. With that, Tien said that he had already prepared his daughter for what he hoped would happen on this very evening and he asked Vegeta if he and Bulma would care for Hannah until morning for him. Vegeta agreed and then asked Tien if he wouldn't mind making a dramatic exit, to rid his son of any residual shyness he might still be holding in his heart. And Tien smiled.
When Tienshinhan walked back into the living room where everyone was now grouped together in one huge, happy huddle, he announced to his daughter in front of all of them that she would be spending the night at Capsule Corporation because this evening was his wedding night. And with that he walked over to Trunks, smiled and kissed him lightly on the forehead, and then flung his shocked and embarrassed lavender haired mate up over his shoulder and walked with him like that for a while, as he made a point of walking up everyone, casually saying goodbye, lingering with them and telling them all how much he enjoyed seeing everyone again. Tienshinhan was a man with a tremendous sense of humor and that, in combination with the fact that he really didn't care what anyone thought about him, was going to prove to be one of the best things that had ever happened in the life of Trunks Briefs.
"I hate you Tien!" was all Trunks said as he buried his face in his hands from embarrassment.
"Then why are you trembling?" Tienshinhan asked as he walked out the door.
And Vegeta laughed until tears came to his eyes as he thought about the look on his son's face as he was launched up over Tienshinhan's shoulder.
And all the way out to the quiet place, Trunks protested over Tien's behavior and told him how embarrassing it was to be put on display that way and told him to never do that again. And when they arrived at the quiet place, Tien set Trunks down and simply told him that if he was so mad about it, then he should just go home and come back whenever he chose to grow up a little bit. And with that, the powerful warrior stood there with his arms crossed, smiling at Trunks.
"I'm sorry, Tien. I don't want to go home, I want you to make love to me", Trunks said as he began to walk over to his new mate.
"Well, of course I will, Trunks!" Tien said with great amusement in his voice. "And this is the part now where I play seme all over your body and our roles become defined, right? And I will become the husband and you will become the good little wife, and we will live happily ever after, with you spending your days cooking away in my kitchen, wearing your little lacey apron while monarch butterflies flit around your head every where you go! And whenever you step outside, the hills around my home will literally come alive with the sound of music, marveling at your mere presence? Is that what you were thinking, Trunks?" And with that, Tienshinhan continued to stand before Trunks with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.
"Don't look so hurt Trunks" he said with gentle amusement. "Now let me tell you now how things are really going to be".
And Tien walked up to Trunks and embraced him and began to touch him erotically and intimately as he spoke to him, arousing the sleeping passions within the lavender haired man.
"Trunks, I will not allow you to fear my body and I will not allow you to fear your passion and I will not allow you to continue to believe that you are a helpless little girl who is going to lay passively in my arms every night. You are going to take me now, Trunks. I want you to feel the power of your passion, I want you to take possession of that which you fear, because after tonight, I will not have you if you fear me, and I will not have you if you are afraid to walk openly with me in the light of day".
"Don't be afraid, Trunks", Tien whispered, touching him and moving against him, breaking down his defenses and arousing him. And soon, Trunks began to reach out to his lover, experiencing for the first time intimate places that openly desired him and watching Tien watch him, he removed his own garments, one by one, dropping each piece to the ground and he watched Tien's hand reach out to encircle him as he removed each article of clothing Tien wore.
He could barely breathe as he moved around behind Tienshinhan and embraced him and Trunks could feel the arousal building in the warrior and he took a deep breath and experienced the warmth of another's body for the first time. As his lover began to respond to Trunks' love making, slowly at first, and then with increasing passion Trunks thought he would lose consciousness for a moment, yet Tien's intensity wouldn't let him stop. And he soon felt himself reaching that point where passion overtakes reason, and he soon found himself lost within his passion as he began to make love with complete abandon. And he felt powerful, and he felt alive, and he became lost in a sea of sensation that was too intense for words.
And he could hear the sounds of passion escaping from Tienshinhan's mouth as he was exquisitely verbal and Trunks knew that he was giving him pleasure, and he felt driven to possess the object of his passion and conquer him, and he transcended to a new level within himself as a man and as a lover.
Tienshinhan was deeply moved as he journeyed through the awakening process with his new mate. He experienced the change in the way Trunks made love to him as he crossed over each barrier, and now he was coming into himself and experiencing the joys of who he really was as a gay man and on top of that, Tien realized that Trunks had subconsciously begun to take possession of him. This part of the dance of Ai Shiteiru was just for Trunks, and Tien maintained his self-control, planning to lose himself a little later on. And when Trunks release came, Tien just held him close because he too had found that which he had been searching for all of his life, which now he had found in the heart and body of the most exquisitely beautiful man he had ever seen.
"And just what is that silly little grin on your face for, Trunks? If you think you have convinced me to wear lacey little aprons for you, you are sadly mistaken, koibito", Tienshinhan had said with great love in his voice. "And right now you are glowing like the morning sun, so from now on, I will also call you Asahi. On this very night, Asahi, we are performing the dance of Ai Shiteiru and are claiming each other as lifelong mates, are you aware of that? This is our wedding night, and I am about to complete the dance with you and I want you to leave right now if you have any regrets or any reservations. And now Asahi, ask me to continue, or ask me to go away".
"Don't stop now, please Tien". And Trunks looked at Tienshinhan with the fullness of the love that was in his heart. Nothing had ever felt so right or so natural to him and he felt as though he had just come home after a long journey of wandering alone. He didn't feel alone anymore, he felt connected on that deep spiritual level to the person that he was born to be with. And Tienshinhan felt the same.
And with that, Trunks took the container with the special oils that Tien had brought, and applied them to the fullness of his lover's manliness and he allowed the warrior to pick him up and place him on the boulder upon which Tien had laid his garments for softness. And Trunks watched Tien as he moved in closely to him, taking him tightly in his arms and began to make love to him slowly, gently, and sensuously. Tienshinhan took possession of him as he performed the dance of Ai Shiteiru with Trunks in long, slow, rhythmic movements, keeping perfect time with his lover's responses and continuing to watch his eyes. And as his passion was building Tien began to whisper of his love, describing the intensity of what he was experiencing and before long Trunks could no longer contain himself and a release came yet a second time and with that, Tien lost himself and gave up his control, and completed the dance and became mated with his beautiful Asahi at all levels - physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
And as his mate lie sleeping in his arms, Tienshinhan watched the morning sun begin to rise, and he wondered if in the light of day, their union would continue to grow. With all his heart, he hoped so. He had never allowed himself to love another as totally as he had done with the beautiful lavender haired man sleeping peacefully beside him. Along with his body, Tienshinhan had handed his heart to Asahi, and he hoped he would be gentle with it and keep it close to him always. But Tienshinhan also knew that there were no guarantees in life, and that all that was possible was to live it to it's fullest and with the cautious losing far too much to ever be happy. And with that, he fell asleep, holding the man of his dreams in his arms.
And another set of eyes watched the morning sun rise from the east while laying awake in her bed at Capsule Corporation, and Hannah wondered how she could acquire the object of her desire in just two short weeks. She determined to have the lavender haired man, deciding that he just too beautiful to waste in a relationship with another man. Her father would simply have to find someone else.
Along about midmorning, Trunks woke up to find himself still encased in his lover's arms. It hadn't been a dream, it was real, and he found that he awoke in the fullness of passion and so, he gently woke Tienshinhan up and asked if he could make love to him again, and with that, the two of them lingered in the quiet place for several more hours until their passion had momentarily run its course.
As they were getting ready to go back to Capsule Corporation, Tien told Trunks that they would dwell together daily after Hannah had returned to her mother, because he did not feel it would be fair to any of them to begin their relationship in the presence of another. But he told Asahi to keep his bedroom window open at night, because he would be there nightly.
They arrived at Capsule Corporation to find Bulma and Hannah sitting at the kitchen table talking, and when her son walked in all he could do was smile at her with that silly little grin on his face. And when she walked up to him and threw her arms around him and she started to cry because he looked so happy. He hugged her and then asked her excitedly where his father was so he could go tell him and Bulma told Trunks that Vegeta and Chibi were up in the baby's room, assembling the things that the baby needed.
And Tienshinhan sat down at the table with his daughter and told her that he had indeed found the mate that he had been searching for all of his life and that he too, was happy. He told her that Asahi would join him permanently after she had returned to her mother because he did not think it would be fair to any of them to have his new mate join them at his mountain home right now, but Hannah insisted it would be okay with her, and she told her father how unfair that choice was to him, and to Trunks, and told him that she would rather leave right now than to allow him to do that. And so, Tien decided to invite Asahi to come live with him immediately.
And Trunks stood at the doorway to the baby's room and watched for a few minutes in wonder at Vegeta and Chibi as they worked together assembling something that looked like it was supposed to be a changing table. And he was touched by the fact that his father looked happy and as Vegeta turned and looked him, Trunks could see the fullness of love in his onyx black eyes and he walked over to his father and embraced him and told him that he had found love, and added excitedly that he was married now to a wonderful man who loved him just like he loved Bulma, or at least that was the desire of his heart.
And Chibi looked at Trunks and asked him in all innocence which of the two of them would be having the babies now so he could come and help put things together with them too, since he was so good at such things. Vegeta looked at Chibi and told him that males did not have the parts required to carry babies in their bodies and, smiling, trying not to laugh, told his young son that they needed to talk about babies and things, and would do so right after Trunks left. He then told Chibi that they needed to finish the baby's room without delay because the baby girl had planned on making her arrival into this world very soon now.
And Vegeta knew this because he could feel the change in Bulma's body as he gently rocked her to sleep last night and today, when he and Chibi were done in the baby's room, Vegeta planned to go to the quiet place to prepare the birthing area for Bulma and his brand new baby girl. After those preparations had been completed, he planned to call the midwife to have her be on standby from this point forward.
"We'll call you after the baby is born, Trunks! We love you!" And the three of them, Vegeta, Bulma, and Chibi, each waved goodbye as they launched Trunks in the fullness of his new life. And with that silly little grin seeming to be permanently fixed to his face now, Trunks took to flight with Tienshinhan to go home. And the both of them were followed closely by Tienshinhan's beautiful 17 year old daughter.
The following is dedicated to Trunks and Tienshinhan.
