Chapter 9
Yamcha groaned before opening his eyes, his head hurt and his stomach felt as if it was trying to get out, looking around himself he sae another bed with familiar lavender hair.
"Trunks" he croaked but received no answer.
"he'll be out for a while longer" came a very welcome voice.
"Tien" said Yamcha as he struggled up, Tien went to the Raven haired man's side and hugged him tightly.
"I know I should have kept an eye on you" he said stoking Yamcha's hair away from his face.
"what happened after we left?" asked Yamcha leaning back.
"they group of friends where scared away by Vegeta when one of them Jason got very close to Trunks" started Tien as he sat on the bed.
"Jason tried it with Trunks?" asked Yamcha
"a bit too much apparently, before Trunks managed to bite him and was pushed into some glass on the floor and that's when Vegeta showed up and scared them to death" finished Tien before kissing Yamcha's forehead. "and you had your stomach pumped and blood cleaned but you should be alright"
"I'm sorry" said Yamcha looking away
"nothing was your fault, no-one could have thought that would happen" reassured Tien leaning against the head board pulling Yamcha to lean against him. Tien hugged Yamcha while stroking his head causing the Raven haired man to purr before falling asleep.

Goten walked into the hospital room with a coffee slumping on Trunks' bed, smiling slightly at the other couple asleep in each other arms. He was feeling guilty for what had happened and for making Trunks wear that dress.
"I'm sorry Trunks"
"not you fault" croaked Trunks looking at Goten "I should have been more alert"
"no Trunks, no-one could have known" said Goten
"so don't blame yourself" said Trunks smiling " do I get a kiss?" he asked using puppy eyes. Goten leant forward kissing Trunks lightly before pulling back
"do you remember what happened?" he asked
"most of it but after I fell in the glass it is kind of fuzzy" confessed Trunks.
"Well Vegeta defended your honour" said Goten laughing slightly.
"Dad did that" gasped Trunks as he sat up ignoring the pain in his stomach and legs,
"yes, now lie still" chided Goten pushing Trunks back down. "I'll go and tell the other that you are alright"
"tell them they can come in if they want" said Yamcha showing that he was awake. Goten went to do as he was told walking back in with the Sons and Brief's following. Vegeta did an accessing glance over his son before going to stand by the window, arms folded listening to Bulma fuss over Trunks.
"are you two alright?" Bulma asked worriedly.
"Fine mom" said Trunks struggling up.
"Fine Bulma" answered Yamcha as he leaned against Tien.
"the police have asked for you two to write a statement about what happened. Tyson and Ash have given the police all the information that they could" said Chi Chi sitting in one of the chairs
"I'll do one later" said Trunks "sorry for ruining you birthday party Goku" he said looking at the other man.
"nothing done" reassured Goku "It was great but nothing ever good happens to us with out the bad"
"you are being released later today but Trunks will need crutches because of the damage that was done by the glass" explained Videl.
A nurse came into the room smiling at the families
"the doctor has signed your release forms but for the next few weeks do not to much exercise and Mr Briefs stay off your legs as much as possible until the abrasions have closed and the stitches have disappeared" she said before going out and coming back with a wheelchair. "my first assessment was not right, the Doctor said that you should use this for at least a week so that the cuts have sometime to heal"
"great" mumbled Trunks before smiling at the nurse "Thank you". The nurse left, leaving the families to deal with getting the patients ready to leave. Tien helped Yamcha change then onto his feet before turning to the others.
"I'm taking Yamcha home to rest, I thank you for inviting us to your party and I hope that this year of you life is just as good. We shall see you soon within the week if Yamcha is feeling better" said Tien
"bye" smiled Yamcha as both of them left the room, Tien supporting Yamcha and carrying once they started to fly home.
Goten brought the wheelchair round to the side of the bed before helping Trunks into it, being tires the lavender haired boy allowed his Koi to do so. Goten wheeled him out of the room with the family following.
