Chapter 107: Finally doing this
When we got back, I wasn't even allowed to start making dinner. Goku didn't even allow me anywhere near my kitchen. Watching him cook was making me angry. Well, he had started making me angry all afternoon. And he just wouldn't stop. Well, since he's taking care of dinner, guess I should probably do some knitting; it has been awhile. As I was working on this little project, the boys and Videl was keeping me company. It was peaceful till they started asking about my past trainings. And even asking about how long it took me to get to where I was now. "What's with all the questions? You seen me spar a number of times. What happened now?"
"But mom. We never seen you spar like that. Like something about it was different. We've seen you angry and even very focus, but that was new. Almost like a whole different person. Like it's also the first time we felt your ki raise that high. Besides, why did dad insist on cooking?" That's when I remember the chaos that's happening in my kitchen. I stormed my way to my kitchen. To my great surprise nothing looked destroyed, like it always does when he's in here. My knives didn't have dents, and it actual looked clean.
"Goku. What are you planning?" He looked at me confused, and stated he wasn't planning anything. I don't think so. "Goku. Are you still upset that I kicked your butt?" He just started blushing, and saying that dinner was almost done. He's hiding something from me. Even as we ate there was an uneasy quietness. What is my husband thinking? After dinner, the kids said they were going to the lookout. Before I had a chance to ask why, or say no, they were out the door. What in the world? I looked over to Goku, even he looks confused. "Do you know what's going on?"
"Nope. But it sure makes this a little easier." I was going to ask what he meant, till he picked me up. He then carried me to our room.
"GOKU! You were planning something!" I tried to get out of his arms, only to be held tighter. "GOKU LET ME GO!"
"But I can't."
"What you mean you can't?" I was getting angrier by the second.
"Because you'll scream at me for letting you fall." What is the world was he's talking about? That's when I realize we weren't even inside anymore. We somehow was on the roof; well, floating above our home. What is he planning? "You really think I'll let you get away with beating me like that. Silly wife."
"You shouldn't have started it. It's all your—" He just tossed me in the air. When I came back down, I slapped him. "Don't ever do—" He did it again. "Stop that!" He kept doing it a few times, that I was getting tired of screaming. "Are you done?"
"How many times you beat me?" He wasn't serious. He was serious. He tossed me a few more times. He was getting ready to toss me again, but I quickly hugged his neck. "You give up?" I nod my head. "Good. But you did a great job today."
"So, why you doing this?"
"Because it's funny." Did he really just say that? The smile on his face says he actually meant it. I don't know if I should be mad, but for some reason I just start laughing.
"You're silly." I kiss him. "You're right in it being fun. Do it one more time." He started laughing as he did it again. On my way down, I twisted my body. When he caught me, I was able to land a kiss on his lips, and he fell backwards. When he finally got up, we just laughed. He then took us back inside. "But why you wanted to cook today?"
"I wanted to actually attack you, but the kids were home." I felt my face burn up at that. "If the kids weren't around to watch me fight you, I wouldn't had lost after the second time." I can't believe him. So, I wasn't imagining it when I felt I was being mentally stripped. That thought alone was making my skin burn even more. I then felt him kiss my nose. At that, my vision came back, and looked up at him. The face he was giving me left me speechless. "So, glad they decided to leave. Didn't want to drag you outside tonight." At that moment I felt the bed under me.
"So, regardless where; you was going to…"
"Yup." He then lean in closer, and whispered in my ear. "But at least in our room, you'll be sore because of me. And not because we were outside." He then nibbled my ear.
I don't know if I was still alive, or if I die and went to heaven. All I know is that my senses are on overdrive, and all I can hear are these wild animalist noise. Every time I think I reached my limit I'm thrust back into a sea of pleasure. I don't even remember where I am. After a few my roars is when my body starts cooling down. It's then that mean vision comes back, and I see a heavily breathing husband. I can't help but to smile at him. He kisses my forehead. I don't have the strength to talk, but that's ok. The last thing I feel, before I know I fell asleep, is being protectively wrapped in my Goku's embrace. I definitely am a lucky wife.
…
After last night Chichi barely was able to walk, or even talk. It actually worried the boys and Videl. Chichi, and I, tried to reassure them that she's fine. Just that she needs some rest. They tried to make her sit down, and they take care of everything. It was fun to watch how panic all three were. Even how Gohan yelling at me; asking what I did to mom. Not my fault Chichi's just perfect. Especially how she screamed last night. My ears are still ringing.
Maybe I did overdo it. Goten is crying, because how worried he is. The kids are even asking me to get a senzu bean. Little did they know a senzu bean wasn't going to help with that. I even made sure of that fact. Poor little Goten. Looks like it's going to be months till I could do that again. But it'll be worth it. "Ok, ok. I'm going, I'm going." What they don't know is that she did take a senzu bean this morning. And the fact she still sore makes me proud. But if the kids saw Chichi, the first time I made her sore, they'll definitely be mad at me. Cause compared to the first time this would be considered me almost killing her. But my wife can handle me.
When I get to Korin's, he just shakes his head. "I swear, Goku. If it was anyone else, I would have thought you kill someone." I kept trying to apologize, while he's shaking his head. "I should start charging you for these." He toss me a bag.
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." When I got back, I was knocked down by a small body, and the bag in my hand was gone. I really overdid it. Goten is just crying, and crying. Last time I was around a nonstop crying child, Gohan was so small. Even after Chichi takes it, they're still in a panic around her. At that, none of them wants me anywhere near Chichi. They even kicked me out the house. Well, in that case, they better hope they can handle a very cranky Chichi. Chichi always hates it when I did try helping, after I made her sore. That's the only reason I stood on the couch, the whole time.
When I was finally let back in, all three were giving me angry looks. Why is Goten giving me an angry look? Gohan probably told him it's all my fault mommy is hurt. Goten even made sure that I wasn't close to Chichi. Aw, poor little guy. Then when it came to bed time, he got Chichi to sleep in his room. Gohan even added that it was good for me. Oh, if he wanted to talk so be it. But he'll learn eventually that he'll love the fact of making his Videl sore. So, I'm going to keep all comments to myself. As I slept in our bed, I couldn't help sniff the panties she had on last night. We did it with the clothes on top of the bed. I even made her come multiple times in her panties. "Ah." My Chichi has the most intoxicating scent, and it drives me insane. I can't help to loss control with her.
…
After what happened during the summer, it took Goten forever to let dad be anywhere near mom. When he finally did everything else became relaxed. Even though the moment dad was allowed to be near mom again, he wouldn't leave mom alone at every chance he get. During meal time, he would touch mom's hand, before she started the dishes. During family time, he would extra close to mom. But the mornings were the worst. Dad hugged mom as she cooked breakfast. At first it was touching, but then it just got weird. Like if dad was acting like a little kid every time mom told him to leave her alone. Videl only comment how much my dad loves mom. Sometimes I would dad is obsessed with mom, the way I remembered growing up.
On top of the whole dad thing, it actually made me even more nervous with Videl. Like thinking about the possibility that I could hurt her really bad. I know I'm way stronger than her, so that is a real possibility. So, regardless how badly I wanted her, I was scared I would hurt her. Dad is the strongest out of everyone I know. It got me wondering how does mom live through it all. Like, she's still alive after everything.
This morning was just weird. After dad did his set, mom just scratched his head. Just catching them like that felt weird. Like as if I walked into a personal moment. Even as we ate breakfast, mom scratched his head before heading to do dishes. Before I started heading to school, mom and dad had started a kiss in the kitchen, before watching me and Goten off. Dad acts weird when it comes to mom.
Now that the school year started, I have to head into the principal office. I had to talk with him about how I'm accepting the early graduation, and that I already choose a college I want to go to. As I made my way, I was greeted by Sharpner and Erasa. They were going on about how this year is going to be super awesome. I told them how much I agreed, since I have a lot to do this year. They were confused by my statement. "I'll tell you in class, but I have to head the principal office." They said alright, and were off.
That went well, and looks like I'll be all set by mid-November. Can't wait to tell Videl. As I entered homeroom, I noticed that Videl was nowhere in sight. I was starting to get a little worried. I reached out to her, and she said that her doctor's appointment was today. Ok, so it's not that bad. I'll meet up with her after school.
Sharpner and Erasa were accompanying going to Videl's. Since I still haven't told them what was up. When I told everyone, they all congratulated me. Even asking what will I be studying. "I'm going to be majoring in physics, and a minor in education." They all seem very impressed, but not surprised. "I'm going to be aiming for a PhD in quantum physics. Maybe even get a doctorate in nuclear physics, while I'm at it."
That's when their mouths drop. "Gohan, we get that you're incredibly smart, but don't you think that's too much? But still, that's like a bit extreme." Sharpner even agreed with Erasa.
"What are you talking about? This is Gohan. He can definitely do it. And if you want another good example, think about the Briefs. Dr. Brief and Bulma both have many degrees, in different fields. So, it's not impossible. Just hard work." It felt nice to hear Videl say that. The rest of the evening was spent on watching a movie, eating pizza, and talking about the upcoming Halloween party.
Once everyone left, I was getting ready to head home, myself. But Videl asked if I could stay a little longer. At first, we were just talking, until we started kissing. But that moment was short lived when her father came knocking on the door. Some reason I was very annoyed, and just wanted to tell Videl to not answer. But same time I don't want Videl to get in trouble. Turns out her dad just wanted to stay good night. But when he saw me, he gave an angry stare before walking off. She asked why don't I stay over, since she always at my place. "Sure, but not on a school night." We shared one more kiss before I left.
When I got home, the house was very quiet. Guess everyone went to bed. I was dead wrong. The moment I got up the stairs I was met with dad. I asked what was the matter. He just stated that he was just making sure I was ok. "I'm fine dad." He then smiled at me, before ruffling my hair. Maybe I should tell him. Even though I would like to say it to mom too. But this would be fine for now. "By November I'll be all set. For the upcoming month I'll be filling paperwork for the early graduation. And also, the paperwork to start West City University, to start in January." He ruffled my hair again and told me how proud he is of me. Also, how I should saw the news at breakfast, so, mom could congratulate me as well. "I will." With that we said good night, and off to bed.
…
When we got home, something was off with mom. She walked funny, and even groan as if in pain. She even mumbled how sore she felt. What happened to mom? Is she sore from training yesterday? But that can't be it. Mom was perfectly fine when we came home. She's even super covered up, more than ever. You would think she's cold, but it's hot today. And whenever I try to give her a hug, she says that it hurts. Mommy is hurt really bad! I couldn't stop crying. Me, Gohan, and Videl tried to keep mom from doing anything, but she won't stay still. Even dad says she needs rest. Mommy!
We finally got dad to go get senzu beans. I overheard Gohan complaining to Videl about something. Stuff like. "How can dad do this?" Or even. "What was dad thinking?" I tried asking Gohan what he meant, but he said was that mom is hurt because of dad. Oh no! How could daddy hurt mommy? I never seen dad actually hurt mom. So, this is super big. I'm going to have to keep mom away from dad, till learns his lesson. Nobody hurts mom while I'm around.
I almost bit dad when he tried to take me away from mom. No way is he getting close to her. Mom needs to be taken care of; not hurt. I'm so glad mom listen to me, when I told her she had to sleep in my room. I can't have daddy hurting her again. Even when everyone tried to tell me that it won't happen again, I didn't believe them. After a few days they finally convince me that dad won't hurt mom. But I wasn't that convince. So, only way dad could be near mom is that I have to be there. Even at night time, I had to sleep in their room. After a while I felt mommy would be safe. But I was starting to get used to sleeping in their room. It was really comfy, and I felt safe between them. Now the problem was learning to sleep alone again.
It hasn't been a week, and already Gohan has news. Big brother is doing paperwork to start going to a university early. He's also going to be graduating in November. Plus, he made plans to sleep over Videl's this weekend. That's a lot to take in. But mom and dad look so proud of him. I'm happy for him too. Big brother deserves to follow his dreams and be happy. But what in the world is a dorm? And why is mom asking if he plans to do that? Wait. Does that mean Gohan might not live with us anymore? I don't know if I could handle that. I was so depressed when he started high school, and left me all alone. I don't know how I'll feel if I don't ever see him every day. I ended up hugging him the whole way to school. He even had to drop me off, just so I could let him go.
Uh? Where's Gohan? Oh yeah. He slept over Videl's house yesterday, and won't be back till Sunday. Dad in the fields, and mom making lunch. I feel so sad without Gohan here. I just have to get use to it. Eventually it'll just be me, mom, and dad. Just then dad walks in. He's cover in dirt. He's already in the kitchen telling mom about his day so far. I go join them. When I get there, dad picks me up. As he's carrying me, he ask how was my day. I just tell him it was ok, even though I'm sad Gohan isn't here. He tries comforting me. This feels nice.
During lunch it's very quiet. But it's a good quiet. As dad gets ready to go back out, he ask if I want to come. Mom says I still have a bit more homework to do. But he said I could bring it with him. This makes me happy. As much as I love spending a lot of time with mom, it also feels great to spend time with dad. After a while of getting to know him, he's way more fun than uncle Vegeta. Plus, he's super relaxed, and if something bothers me, he's great to talk to. He might not have all the answers, but it's still nice to have someone listen to me. This ended up to be a good weekend after all. Dad is great.
Mom was right about those out of the blue shakes. Dad did take training breaks. It was fun to see dad work for a bit, before doing a little training. It was even fun to train with him. We just had to be super careful to not ruin the fields. Then dad told me something I wasn't too sure about. He wants to go off world to train hardcore. Dad wishes he could take maybe a month or two, and go to King Kai's planet. I wonder if dad even told mom. He says he's tried but she turns him down. Saying there's no point. "As much as I love these peaceful times, it doesn't sit well with me. I want to be at my absolute best, in case anything happens. I also just want a little challenge. But that's asking for too much. I love you guys, but I don't feel comfortable with things being too peaceful."
What did dad mean by that last part? Better ask. "What you mean, dad?"
"Don't tell your mom." I promised, and then dad looked a bit sad. "I love the trill of a good challenge and a good fight. Before I met Bulma, I didn't know about the endless possibilities there was to have. But the moment I met her I was thrown into a challenge at every turn. It was the most exciting thing I have ever known at that time. I always loved training, but putting my skills to the test made my love for it grow. When the 23rd tournament was coming up, I did plan to take a break. A small one. Just enough to rest and find out about a scent I couldn't get over. Then I would have looked for more challenges."
I didn't get why he looks so sad telling me this. But I waited for him to continued. "I met your mom again, and that made my ideas change. I settled down. My goals became different. Instead of training to be stronger for any new challenge, I trained to be stronger to protected my family. Something that was a weird idea for me. But the fact there was peace for five years had me on edge. A new challenge came. If it wasn't because I had to get my Gohan back, I would have really enjoyed that fight. Even though I was outmatched, big time, I still would had enjoyed it. After that, came more harder challenges. It was absolutely trilling to go into them. Not only was I trying to keep my son and friends safe, it was still a trill."
Oh, I think I get it. "Could that be something about being a sayian? Cause uncle Vegeta can't go a day without training. He becomes very uneasy, and the last person you want to come across. Gohan sometimes admits, if he wasn't so scared, he actually like the whole fighting thing. Mostly because he felt challenged. But he also admits he rather he do it for fun, instead of risking his life."
That's when I felt dad ruffling my hair. "And how do you feel about fighting? Or just training?"
"Kind of fun. But I don't like the part where people get really hurt. I would like to be super strong like the rest of my family. I want to do it for the fun of it." At that dad picked me up, and was just carrying me.
"If there ever comes a day, I don't want you to get involved in any big battles. I want you as far away as possible." I looked up at him, and he had a very serious face. "I don't ever want to see you hurt. You better run home to Chichi, instead of staying around. Even if Trunks or anyone else tells you to stay and fight." He then ruffled my hair. "I don't ever want to see you hurt. Understand?"
"But what if I just can't help it? What if I really want to help?" Dad didn't look like he like that. "Would it really hurt to try, just a little." Dad seem to be very tense. He went from smiling to frowning to a blank face. I hugged him. Maybe I'm asking for too much.
"I want you to always be safe. But." I looked up at him, and he had a big smile. "Don't push yourself too hard. You could try, but the moment you see that you're outmatch." He then got serious again. "I want you to back down. Daddy will handle it. Even if I'm far away, I'll come to the rescue." We hugged one more time. After that I continued watching dad work all the way till sun down.
…
After class, on Friday, me and Videl were hanging out with our friends. We went to a karaoke spot. The food wasn't bad, but the smell of the place was. Erasa was up first. "I kissed a girl and I like it." She sounded like dying animals. Correction, dying animals sounded better. But my ears felt like they were bleeding. Why did I let them talk me into this? "Oh, stop complaining, Gohan, and pick a song. You're next."
"Ok, Erasa. But you four, better not laugh."
"No promises, nerd boy."
"Don't cry to me, if you loved me. You would be here with me. You want me, come find me. Make up your mind." I'm surprised no one is saying anything. Am I that bad? "I've made up your mind!" They were all clapping and saying good job.
"Nerd boy, I didn't know you could sing."
"I'm impress. So, when were you going to tell us about those awesome vocals?" My face felt hot at the comment. Next Videl was up. "Watch and learn boys." Why she picked this Papa Roach? And what's not listening? "Cause I've lost my innocence. And I'm a stranger, a life changer. I'm a man that's not afraid of danger. I walk my own path, and blaze my own trail. Because I'm not afraid to derail. I won't get in line or be a middle man. So fuck you I'll make my own plan."
"Wow, Videl. Why you chose that?" I too want to know.
"I have my reasons. Hey, Gohan. Want to do a duet?" I told her sure. "You'll be Mike, and I'll be Chester." Guess I'm starting.
"When I pretend, everything is what I want it to be. I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see. When I pretend, I can forget about the criminal I am. Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can." Wow, why she chose this song? The rest of the time it was fun singing, or trying to. By the end of the night we were making plans for tomorrow. Something about going to a skate shop. Sharpner thinks I might like it. I don't know about that, but should be fun to check it out.
Once we parted, it was just me and Videl. Today I was sleeping over her place. This such be fun. She also pointed at the fact her dad won't be home all weekend. I didn't get why she had to tell me that. When we got to her place, we were met with one of her butlers. He told us that the servants were already getting ready to call it a night, and that they'll be back on Monday, like usually. Videl did tell me that the servants have off during the weekends. So, the house is going to be empty; well, except for us two. She even said her dad took Buu with him on his trip. The butler, Andrew, also stated all the per-cooked meals were set. And that we should have a fun weekend. I wonder what that look was about.
When we got to Videl's room is when she practically threw herself on the bed. "Today was long. How do you still have energy after everything?"
"What do you mean?"
She sat up, and I sat on the other side of her. "Well, for starters, I noticed that you could go through a long day and still have a ton of energy. You barely stay sleeping." I tried to explain that I just wake up too easily. Especially when I hear or sense something. "Ok. When your dad was making us do all that training stuff, at the end of the day, you still had energy to study. Like do you even know how to take it easy?"
"Nope. Besides what dad made us do was light work."
"Light work?" She gave me a confused face, then she started laughing. "I sometimes forget you're not fully human. But then I question if you sure your mom is even human. Your parents seem to have energy for days." We both started laughing at that. "I mean it. Like how your mom and dad are you would think that they would be sleeping in. Or going to bed early. They're the first to wake and the last to go to sleep." We started laughing at that, also.
"Well, should we start on our assignments? So, we don't have to worry about it tomorrow."
"Well, actually, Erasa gave me two books, while you went to the restroom. She said that we should read them. Also, if we don't like them, we can throw them away." With that she took out there two thick books, that didn't have a title on them. When she gave me one, I quickly skim through it.
It didn't look bad. But there sure was a lot of naked people doing different things. Then I was reaching the center when… "We should burn these."
"Wait. What? Why?" My face was on fire when I should her the page. "Gohan. That's just a form of bdsm. It's not that… Oh. Now I see it. We should burn these books." But then, from the corner of my eye, I saw her skimming through her book. When she reached a certain page, her face became super red. "Second thought let's just put them away, and get back to them… maybe never. Since I don't know where Erasa got these, and they were kind of, of a gift. So, it'll be rude."
"You just want the books to experiment."
"You caught me there. But we don't have to now, if you don't want to. We should learn more about each other first." I agreed with that part. "Besides." She pushed the books to the side and sat on my lap. "Am I not more interesting than school assignments?"
Why did her voice change? I was kind of confused. "But wouldn't it make sense to get it out the way first?" She looked upset with my answer, till she had a huge smile. I don't know about that smile.
