Meeting of Minds and Bodies

Chapter 4: Truth Revealed

Disclaimer: I do not own Goku or DBZ....if I did, I would be very happy and very rich. However, Maduvia is my own creation, and no one had better even DARE to steal him! @_@ So there! ^_^ Enjoy the story ~_^!

When Goku woke up, it was with little awareness of where he was. There was something pressing down on top of him, and he didn't know what. He opened his eyes, and saw brown blond-streaked hair in front of him, gently stirring as the attached head rose and fell with small breaths. With a rush, the events of the night before came back to him. For a split-second, bile rose in his throat and he had the urge to throw off this evil tempter. But then Maduvia sighed and shifted against him, causing a stirring in his heart and in his loins. All thoughts of violence were swept away in a tidal wave of desire. Swiftly following this was a wave of shame. He was so confused. He loved Chi-Chi.....or he thought he did. The past few months had brought a lot of doubts to their relationship. He couldn't remember the last time they'd had sex....or even kissed, for that matter. Then Maduvia had come, and now everything was different.



Maduvia stirred again, and slowly opened his eyes, a smile forming on his lips as he held Goku tightly. He looked up, staring deeply into his lover's eyes. With a shining gleam in his own, he slowly lifted up and off, rolling onto his back beside Goku. Goku flinched as his manhood was surrendered, and sighed. He turned on his side, facing Maduvia, and just looked at him. His eyes were filled with wonder and joy, but tinged with melancholy. "Mad....I don't understand all this......how you can make me feel this way, and I barely know you." Maduvia just slipped his hand onto Goku's back, gently rubbing in small, tight circles. He looked into his Goku's face, calm assurance radiating from his body. "There's no need to understand, dear Goku....just knowing that what we have is unique and special is all that matters." He turned on his back, and spoke again. "I'm not saying you have to leave Chi-Chi for me, or anything even remotely like it. I've been watching you, do you know that?" Goku was surprised, his mouth opening in question. "What do you mean?" Maduvia turned on his side again, his face only inches from the Saiyan's. "Ever since you defeated Buu, I've studied you. I watched you at your house while you trained. When you left to help Uub, I followed you, and watched you there as well." Goku sat there unmoving, processing this latest shocker. His initial reaction was anger and disgust at being followed, but then he realized what it meant. Maduvia had had a crush on him for a long time. He tried to imagine what it would have been like to finally talk to the person you've been longing for, after years of waiting. Maduvia must have been so scared and nervous at their first meeting yesterday. Wondering whether he knew, or would respond in the same way, or kick the shit out of him. Maduvia kept looking at him for several seconds before turning away again. Tears started forming in his eyes, as he waited for Goku to say something.

Instead, he felt strong arms wrap around him and pull him close. He looked up to see Goku smiling at him, his eyes almost glowing. "Maduvia.....I'm honored that you're attracted to me. You've given me what I've been lacking for years." Goku leaned down and tenderly the two kissed. They held it for several minutes, relishing in the feeling of being connected in such an intimate way. Suddenly, a voice rang out from the door. "HOLY FUCK!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE DOING TO MY DAD??!!!" The two lovers wrenched away from each other, crying out in surprise. When they turned, a tall figure in his early 30's could be seen in the doorway. He had black hair and black eyes, just like Goku, and he was dressed in a similar training gi to what Goku usually wore, except it was green. He looked supremely pissed, and Goku sat up guiltily, rubbing his head in embarrassment. "Uh...hiya, Gohan! I'm sure you're really surprised and pissed off, but..."

Gohan just stood there in utter disbelief. He turned to Maduvia, and his eyes got even wider. "Dad.....you're cheating on Mom....with a guy??!!" Goku hung his head, shame and sadness on his face. Gohan shook his head. "How could you do this to Mom, Dad...? You guys have such a good relationship!" Goku looked up and shook his head as well, looking very sad. "I'm afraid that's not true, Gohan. Your mother and I haven't been close at all for the past few years. We've been drifting, but neither of us has been willing to admit it." Gohan stood there, his eyes brimming as he sensed that his father's words were true. "Dad......" "No, son, there's nothing you can do. Or that any of us can do. Chi-Chi and I had a wonderful relationship, but it's over now." Gohan sighed. "But Dad....why with a guy?" He looked pointedly at Maduvia. Goku was about to answer, but Maduvia spoke up. "It is not so much a matter of my being male that attracted me to Son Goku, or him to me. Your father admires strength, work, beauty, and love. I embody all of these. To me, your father also represents these qualities. It matters not that we are both male. Only that we love each other." Gohan looked extremely sad, looking from Goku to Maduvia, then back again. "I think I understand.....but that doesn't mean I feel any better about it. Its going to take some getting used to." Goku smiled broadly. "I'm glad you understand, Gohan. I hope this doesn't change anything between us. And I don't want this to cause any resentment between you and Mad." Gohan smiled weakly, looking at his dad. "Don't worry.....I respect your decisions." He turned to Maduvia. "But know this. If you do anything to hurt my Dad, in any way, I will personally hunt you down and hurt you." Maduvia chuckled, eyeing the young Saiyan. "Well spoken, Gohan. You can rest assured that I will do my best to keep Goku from harm." A small smile passed between the two warriors, and Gohan turned to leave them.

Suddenly, he whipped around, panic written all over his face. "That's right!!! I came home early to tell you, Dad, that Mom and Goten will be coming shortly! They were only about an hour behind me!" Goku and Maduvia looked stunned and horrified, and immediately scrambled out of bed. Unabashed by their nakedness, they rushed to the closet, Goku throwing himself into his training gi while Maduvia grabbed a small bathrobe. With a small mutter and gesture, the robe suddenly turned brightly-colored shades of purple. With a wink, Maduvia slipped it on, the material fitting him perfectly. Both Goku and Gohan looked strangely at this transformation and Maduvia shrugged. "Well, we are in a hurry, are we not?" With a laugh, the two Saiyans nodded, and the three of them left the room, heading outside to wait for Chi-Chi and Goten.

.....................................

"Come on, Goten, can't we go any faster?!" Chi-Chi was complaining as usual as Goten carried her through the air on his back. They were flying high above the ocean, Chi-Chi clutching her grocery bags tightly. "Aw, Mom, I'm going as fast as I can without powering up!" Chi-Chi grumbled, and shifted her weight on Goten's shoulders. "Well, I just hope we get home before this ice cream melts!' Goten grimaced, and then got a mischievous smirk. He started twirling in the air, nearly throwing his mother. "GOTEN!!!" She gave him a hard smack to the head, and he yelled in pain before rubbing the sore spot. It wasn't fair....he always had to be so polite and good, and he always got smacked for having a little bit of fun. It was one of the reasons he liked to hang out with Trunks and Vegeta. He ALWAYS got to have fun with them.

Soon, he could see their cottage coming in to view. It was strange, though. He could make out his Dad and his brother, but there was someone else standing beside them. From this far away, he couldn't see any of them clearly, but he was pretty sure he didn't know him. Chi-Chi shifted again, growing restless now that they were so near home. They were still a ways away from the cottage when she shifted again, but her knees slipped and stabbed Goten in the side. He cried out in surprise and pain and unintentionally bucked. Chi-Chi, already startled, was unable to grab onto him and fell off, plummeting swiftly. Goten turned, fast as lightning, and flew down to catch her. He was just about to reach her when a purple blur swept in front of him, picking his mother up. He looked around, wondering what had happened. Standing a few feet away was a tall figure, with brown blond-streaked hair reaching to his legs. He held his mother in his arms, smiling down at the young boy. "That would have been a nasty fall," the man said, gesturing expansively to the ground below. Goten nodded, and then smirked at the man. "Thanks a lot for helping my mom!" The man nodded as well, and took off towards the cottage. Goten followed quickly, wondering how someone could have moved so fast. This was the guy he'd seen with his Dad and brother. He wanted to know who he was!

Goku and Gohan smirked at Maduvia as he lowered to the ground, cradling Chi-Chi in his arms. It seemed she had fainted when she had fallen, so great was her fright. He carried her to one of the couches lining the patio and gently laid her down. Turning, he grinned broadly at the three Saiyans. They all smirked back, and then Goku walked over and kneeled beside his wife, carefully prodding her. "Chi-Chi.....Chi-Chi.....wake up, Chi-Chi!" Slowly, her eyes began to flutter, and then they opened. She looked disoriented, and sat up suddenly. "Where am I?! What happened?!" Goku laughed and helped her stand up. "It's nothing. You got thrown off Goten when you accidentally hit him, and Maduvia over here saved you from a nasty crash into the water." Chi-Chi first turned to Maduvia, smiling thankfully at him. Then, she swept her gaze to Goten, her eyes nearly shooting sparks. "YOU IDIOT! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME!!!" She picked up one of her bags from the ground and ran at Goten, swinging wildly. Goten yelled in surprise and took off running, Chi-Chi chasing him all the way. Goku and Gohan looked after her, blank looks on their faces, while Maduvia laughed loudly. The three turned and went back into the house, going into the kitchen and sitting down at the table.

"Well, that was rather interesting!" Maduvia smiled innocently around. "Heh.....I think Goten would have caught her, but it's good you reacted so fast, Mad!" Goku was beaming, and Gohan had a grin on his face. "Wow...you move really fast....Mad, is it?" Maduvia smiled. "Actually, my full name is Maduvia Harpsid, but you can call me Mad if you like." Gohan nodded, and then the three sat staring off. Goku looked up, looking from Gohan to Maduvia. "So......what are we going to tell Chi-Chi?" Gohan's head snapped up. "We can't her anything yet! She'd kill you!" Goku sighed, and started to say something, but Maduvia interrupted him. "Gohan's right, Goku. We have plenty of time. A few days or weeks will not matter. The only thing that's important is that we're together." Maduvia reached over and took Goku's hand, squeezing it. Gohan blushed and looked away, still VERY uncomfortable with the idea of his dad being with a guy. "It just isn't right!" he thought. With a smile and a sigh, Maduvia stood up. "I'm afraid I have to go for now. I must return home and put my affairs in order. I will see you again later?" This was directed at Goku, who was looking at Maduvia like a lost puppy. He nodded, a melancholy smile on his face.

With a faint smile of parting, Maduvia gestured, and disappeared. Goku and Gohan jumped in surprise, then sighed. "God...it would have been nice if he'd told me he could teleport!" Goku grumbled. Gohan chuckled at his Dad, and then stood up as well. "Well, we should probably go out and see Mom, or she might start worrying." Goku nodded again, and got up from his chair. Gohan left first, putting a hand on his father's shoulder before going. Goku stood there for another few minutes, wondering where Maduvia was and what he was doing. It was amazing how quickly the wizard had wormed his way into his heart and soul...and he barely knew anything about him! With a shake of his head and a quiet sigh, Goku left too, a small smile of anticipation on his chiseled face.
