Knock knock knock. The noise of someone knocking on her door was greatly irritating. What was even worse was the noise of hearing the door open. For Videl Satan this was not something that she was ready for as she realised that she was naked underneath the sheets.
She could barely open her eyes and the pain that they were in from the bright light was horrendous. "Oh my god, I'm sorry, I was told that the people in this room had checked out from the hotel. I'm sorry but I have to give you 10 minutes before I ask you to leave honey."
Videl struggled to make a reply because of the massive headache that she was feeling. The old lady who was hired as a cleaner nodded and took her trolley out into the hallway and headed towards another room.
Struggling, Videl got up out of bed and had to take three steps to stabilize herself. Searching the room, Videl found the bathroom and headed inside their and started the shower going. Looking in the mirror, she saw that she had large bags under eyes and she looked like shit.
Looking down at her body, she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary but could definitely tell that she had had sex. What made it even worse was the fact that she didn't remember one bit of it. It made her feel like some two dollar prostitute.
The final nail in the coffin when it came to Videl's confidence and self worth was the fact that she couldn't even remember who it was that she had fucked.
Judging by the pain though coming from her hips, it must have been someone good. She got a slight soreness in her hips one time after sex and that had been the best that she had ever had but the pain she felt then was nothing compared to what she felt right now.
Hopping into the shower, Videl tried to wash away the pain that she was feeling from having drunk too much the night before.
Changing into the clothes that were crumpled and laying around the room, Videl did something that she hoped that she would never do in life. It was something that she paid out every slut she knew for doing and now she was no better. It was the walk of shame.
First thing she did after leaving the hotel was calling a cab to take her to her apartment. The second she got inside, Videl closed the door and headed for the sink. As undignified as it may be Videl put her head underneath the nozzle and turned the cold water tap on.
After that, she went over to the counter top and pulled out a banana from her fruit basket. By the time she finished that she went into her ensuite and had a proper shower… a 20 minute shower where she just stood under the falling hot water.
Putting on some denim shorts, a red t-shirt and tying her hair into a loose pony tail, the girl headed for her phone. Knowing there was only one person in the world she could call for information on what happened last night, Videl called her best friend.
"Hi Sweetie, what's up."
"Hey 'Rase, can we go get some coffee, there's a few things from last night that I want to talk about."
"Sure thing. Do you want me to come and pick you up cause you got really fucked up last night gurrrrrl!"
Putting her palm that was not holding her phone to her forehead, Videl groaned. "Ugh… don't remind me. Oh and I'm at my apartment."
"Oh Gohan must have been such a gentleman taking you back to your apartment last night. Anyway, I'll see ya soon babe" and with that, Erasa hung up the phone.
All Videl could do was open her eyes wide in horror at the information that she had just been given. It all came flooding back to her how she let him put the dick that had been sucked on by Angela into her vagina.
"Ewww!" she screamed.
That fucking arsehole! How could he take advantage of me when I was so drunk and why didn't he at least have the common courtesy to stay with me in the morning. I hope that piece of shit fucking burns in hell.
It made Videl feel even worse that in Gohan's eyes, she was at the same level to what he held Angela at which was a whore who was only there to allow him to get his rocks off. It was the first time that she had ever had a one night stand with a man and it made her feel worthless.
Before she could think any longer on the situation, Videl's front door opened. The black haired woman didn't even bother turning around because no one that she explicitly trust would be stupid enough to walk in unannounced into the house of a police officer.
"You ready?" A familiar voice shouted out.
"Yeah." Videl replied to which she got her keys and headed towards where her best friend was.
Giving each other a customary hug as a greeting, Erasa lent back first and got a good look at the black haired woman. "Wow you look like shit!"
"Gee thanks. That's totally what I wanted to hear after last night…" Videl said as she broke the hug and headed for the door.
Following her friend, Erasa was both curious and concerned with what happened after last night. As she got into her Volkswagen Passat and started driving, Erasa spoke up. "Whadda ya mean honey? Last night wasn't that bad although you really need to learn to control your alcohol."
"Yes, yes, I know mum. It won't happen again."
"Geez V, your never this much of a bitch so tell me what's gotten your panties in a twist."
There was a sigh and Videl didn't dare to look Erasa in the face but she knew that she had to give an answer and a good one at that. "I had sex with Gohan last night."
The reaction that Videl got certainly was not the one that she was expecting. "Woohoo you go girl! I always said you were a prude but you finally had your first one night stand."
"Eh, how can you be so damn supportive of that prick?"
"Jeez, don't take your anger out on me! I just thought that because of the limp that your sporting, it must have been great sex."
Scandalized, Videl shouted out her response loudly. "Erasa! How could you say such a thing?"
"Awww come on, is wittle Vi-Vi uncomfortable talking about sex?"
"Shut up Erasa." Videl said as there was a blush on her face stemming from both anger and embarrassment. There was a silence between the two best friends of 21 years before Videl spoke up. "The thing is… I can't remember anything from after we said goodbye… and then I wake up in the morning to the cleaning lady saying that Gohan had already left the hotel and that I had to leave in 10 minutes."
As she finished telling her story of the night, Videl was looking down at her thighs, her hands were entwined and there was a glum look on her face.
"What! I never would have thought that Gohan would do that to you honey. Oh I'm so sorry. I never would have let you go with him last night if I knew he was going to do anything like that. He was really nice to you all throughout the dinner that I thought he would have just got you some water and put you to sleep."
Putting on a brave face, Videl looked up at her best friend. "Thanks for that. What makes it even worse though is that I caught Angela walking out of the men's bathroom with semen running down her chin and then a few seconds later, Gohan walks out."
"Ewww! That's so gross and disgusting. You should go and get yourself tested." Erasa said to which Videl's eyes widened to almost comical proportions.
"You really think so?"
"Of course! Gohan might be clean but I bet that that slut has every disease known to mankind."
It was then that Videl remembered what happened shortly after that. "Gohan is Saiyaman!" She screamed as if she had an epiphany.
Shocked at the outburst, Erasa didn't know what to say. There was no way in hell that Gohan, Gohan! Of all people was Saiyaman. It was just not possible. This contributing to the fact that she had to hear this from her best friend for the good part of two years… well one could get sick of the topic.
"Oh not this again… I swear! You always went on about this in high school but you could never prove anything."
"I'm serious Erasa! After the Angela bit me and him got into an argument and eventually it led to him cornering me and whispering into my ear…" As she said this, Videl's left hand trailed up and rested on her ear.
Videl didn't see this as anything significant but Erasa, someone who was a self-proclaimed guru when it came to relationships giggled inside. That being said, she knew that if she said anything, Videl would just try and deflect it which would make her revert back into her shell.
"He did an absolutely damn perfect impression of how Saiyaman spoke. Just think about it, Saiyaman only started appearing when Gohan arrived at Orange Star High, leaves immediately when Gohan goes back home and yet makes a surprise cameo just when the high school reunion roles around? It's too much of a coincidence for me not to ignore Erasa!"
Rolling her eyes, Erasa focused on the road in front of her. "Whatever Vi… just don't turn every single conversation we have into how Gohan is Saiyaman like you did in high school."
"W-w-what." Videl said, suddenly getting very defensive.
"You never realised it!? Wow! Every single time it was Saiyaman this, Saiyaman that. You would never shut up about him. It was cute seeing your first proper love interest develop.
"I-i-I didn't love Saiyaman!" Videl said with aggression, trying to deflect away from her embarrassment.
"Sure sure, whatever floats your boat." Erasa said, completely dismissing Videl's words. "You know… when you were dancing with Gohan, I've never seen you so happy."
Instead of responding, Videl just looked ahead at the road because she didn't want to admit the truth. She really was having a good time with Gohan which made, in her eyes the betrayal that much more painful.
With Gohan
As he was coming back from finishing the deed with Videl, Gohan touched down at his home. It was funny, back when he had just graduated and had an intern of in a chemist, he was living in the smallest apartment you could possibly imagine. It was enough for him as he didn't need all that space and got his food on the go.
Six months after that when he believed that he had gained sufficient experience as an in store pharmacist, Gohan made the biggest jump of his career. The son of Chi-Chi asked his godmother for a small loan to which she instantly agreed to. In all honesty, Gohan didn't know how she could part with so much money with a simple "yeah sure" but he wasn't complaining.
Since he was doing everything himself Gohan drastically cut down on costs which would have been impossible to cover if he had to pay other people. It came at a cost though.
For two whole entire months, Gohan never once spoke to anyone outside of his immediate family (to which he considered Bulma as she was also the investor in the project) as he was too focused on his work. It caused the rather limited social life he had built up from his previous job and college to dissipate due to him not keeping in contact just to allow him to set up his headquarters with his licences.
The first person that he hired was a sales representative who worked closely with his previous boss which eventually gave him the chance to stock his first product.
Thanks to the first product that Gohan himself developed which was a nasal and throat congestion liquid right before winter, the initial amount that the chemist had ordered quadrupled once customers kept coming back saying that it helped them recover quickly.
Word got out around the pharmaceutical community that an upstart recently graduated university student caused people to recover quicker than normal.
Just from that one deal, it allowed Gohan to fully fund a whole year's worth of research and development. The newfound freedom that this gave Gohan time to work on an anti hay fever pill as that was the next seasonal large scale disease floating around.
Hearing of the success that the first independent store received caught the eye of a small chain of six stores across Fire Mountain to acquire the same amount for each store.
It was looking great for Gohan as his company Four Star Pharmaceuticals had paid back Capsule Corporation half of the five million dollar loan in the first year alone. Of course, since it was a family friend that Bulma was lending the money to, there was no interest included in the deal which greatly benefited Gohan.
The Dramatic growth that not even Gohan had optimistically could have predicted in his wildest dreams forced Gohan to hire 10 more staff to be able to properly handle the demand.
Through all of this time, the half saiyan never once splurged on himself. Every single second of every single day was spent making his business the most profitable it could be.
It was the second year after university that things really started happening for the kid who was constantly bullied through high school. Thanks to the reputation his last nasal and throat congestion product garnered, Gohan launched a full range of different cold and flu medications which every single pharmacy in Fire Mountain added to their range of products.
Gohan really had to thank his marketing and sales departments as they did such a great job that it allowed him to focus solely on the development of new products without the worry of something going wrong with that side of the company.
Thanks to the rapid growth, Gohan finally had enough of a stable income that he could do something that he always intended on doing. That was setting up a trust fund for his mother to use on herself and his little brother. As Chi-Chi was the proudest of proud mothers going around, she would never accept money from Bulma when it came to raising her kids. That combined with the fact that she was "Widowed" and looking after her family was a full time job considering all of the cooking she had to do for him, made money quite sparse.
Unlike accepting money from Bulma, Chi-Chi didn't mind one bit taking money from Gohan considering all of the effort that she put into raising him. The money that Gohan sent home was enough to completely pay for Goten's education at the best school which money could buy in West City. Thanks to all of the home schooling that Goten did, his grades allowed him to skip a year and enter school in the same year as his best friend Trunks. It was a completely overwhelming experience for Goten who had never had much social interaction as a kid apart from Trunks but since he was at a younger age, he naturally adapted to it.
Six months into this new lifestyle with Gohan living in Fire Mountain, Goten attending school full time in West city which even for him, made it an hour long flight home each day and her husband doing who knows what in some backwater village teaching some kid to fight meant that she was incredibly lonely.
Her midlife crisis hit right at this point due the mother of two realising that apart from having her kids, she had accomplished nothing in life. The feminist inside of her was screaming out to her saying that she needed to get a job and have a life outside of her family. Being a family mum just wasn't good enough anymore.
Using the rest of the money that Gohan had put aside for her and Goten, Chi-Chi enrolled herself into the very same university that Gohan attended. It was a one and a half hour drive there each morning which meant she didn't have enough time to cook as much food for Goten but thanks to his school offering breakfast, it didn't bother the youngest son all that much.
Her dual degree in business management and culinary hospitality showed where exactly Gohan had acquired his entrepreneurial side. By the time that Chi-Chi finished her three year degree, she would be ready to open her own restaurant.
With the content that could only be brought by setting up the futures of your family, Gohan and his ever increasing business decided to expand their operations. Gohan had decided that Four Star Pharmaceuticals would branch out into the fitness supplement industry.
The embarrassing thing for Gohan was that his marketing department once they realised how in shape their boss was, they urged him to strip down and take promotional photos for all of the labels going onto the products. Their slogan was "This is our CEO and one of the Doctor's that helped develop our product, so not only do you know he has complete faith in but he also uses it every day in his training."
What the marketing department didn't know though was that Gohan hadn't worked out in over 12 years. The only reason he was so ripped was due to his saiyan physiology.
The guilt that this brought out in Gohan for endorsing a product that he didn't even use made the black haired man decide to get back into martial arts training albeit it not as seriously as Vegeta or even his younger brother. he wasn't doing it so that he could defend earth if the next threat as that was what Vegeta, Trunks and Goten were for. He simply did it to keep his physique up at a standard where everyone else in the world not fortunate to have saiyan DNA would have to dedicate their whole entire life to achieve.
It was the start of Gohan's "me" time. He knew that he had spent so much time on his business that his social development which that high in the first place had suffered.
Deciding that it was high time to learn how to socialize properly, Gohan organized a company event where they hired out a popular bar for the first half of the night that also had an upstairs nightclub. Everything in bar would be catered by the company up until ten o'clock where those who wanted to stay around were welcome to join him in the night club.
Every one of his 75 staff were invited and only those that were under the age of thirty or at least under 30 in their hearts joined in on going to the nightclub. They did decide to abuse the free alcohol part of the bonding experience which was no surprise to Gohan.
It was on this night that Gohan Son who was 24 years of age finally lost his virginity when one of the female interns decided to try and gain a favour or two. He himself was drunk and didn't exactly know what he was doing but thankfully the girl was even more plastered and didn't mind waiting as she struggled to keep consciousness.
The night definitely wasn't one that Gohan would hold to as one of his proudest moments but the job was done and as he went to sleep that night, there was a smile on his face so great that it would take a death in the family to remove it.
The next morning when the woman he slept with woke up, she got on top of him and gave him a very nice wake up call. It was only afterwards that she asked for a pay rise.
Realising what she was trying to do, Gohan instantly said no and told her to get out. Watching her leave his apartment was the most confidence boosting experience he had ever had. What happened made Gohan feel like one of the cool kids at school for the first time ever.
One of the cool kids at school would never let themselves wouldn't let themselves got six years without a car and live in a shitty apartment if they could afford it.
It was this that made Gohan decide to stop renting his apartment and move into a much more luxurious one in an area which was closer to the CBD of Fire Mountain. The realtor couldn't have been any happier when Gohan spent a whole year's worth of his salary in a single go on a one million dollar apartment.
Gohan had to rough it out real hard that following month until it was next pay day but the amount of money that he would save in interest certainly made up for it. There was that, and there was also the fact that when he brought over a lady friend, they would be impressed and not embarrassed with his apartment.
Two months later and Gohan was the owner of his very own car. He bought an entry level BMW 3 series. He hadn't driven in a long time so of course there were teething issues with Gohan stalling quite a few times. That in comparison to finally feeling like he was a normal human being was something that Gohan had no trouble with.
All his life he had tried to be a normal human being and for the first time he truly felt like he was.
After this point, about a month later, Gohan managed to snag himself his first girlfriend. She recently got a position in an accounting firm having just graduated from university herself and it was thanks to a mutual friend that Gohan worked with that they met.
The beginning of their relationship was great until the honeymoon phase was over. Sustaining a relationship based around sex and buying gifts simply doesn't work without chemistry and trust. Gohan simply wasn't willing to reveal all that much about himself and that was the catalyst to the ending of their time together.
It was the first heartbreak that Gohan had gone through and his coping mechanism was to focus solely on work just like he did when he was younger but after time, he was over the pain and was now thankful that it happened. Marriage with her would have never worked out and he was glad that he got the experience of being in a relationship.
What followed was a series of relationships that Gohan never really intended on becoming serious. He just wanted experience in dating and the sex that it provided.
At age 26, Gohan became an investor for the first time. His mother had just finished her dual degree with honours and she was determined to open up an upper class restaurant in West City so that she could spend more time with her youngest son. Apart from buying a house that could be considered a villa, he handed over two million dollars to his mother with the same rules that Bulma gave him allowed his mother to start her dream.
Bulma, whilst she didn't invest any money into definitely helped out with the media who followed her like flies on a dead carcass, and promoted the place saying it was the best place to eat in the world. The patrons quickly started coming once word got out that the richest person in the world loved eating there and Chi-Chi took the challenge head on.
It forced Goten to become much more self sufficient due to his mum not being around anywhere near as much but the young demi saiyan was proud and happy to see his mum so invested into something. The bonus of taking his friends around on a free period for some free food was big bonus as well.
Upon hitting the age of twenty seven, Gohan decided that it was finally time to start settling down. He had had enough of the single bachelor life having sex with girl after girl who only wanted him for his money and looks.
To start the radical change, Gohan bought a large scale plot of land of 15 acres which cost two million dollars itself on the outskirts of Fire Mountain. This didn't even include the house on top.
Said house costed the cool part of five million dollars to which, yet again, Gohan bought outright. It was only thanks to him willing to pay it up front in cash that that made the building firm willing to drop the price down. Once the deal was done though, Gohan was now the proud owner of a large two story house which had an indoor spa fit for 5 people, a 30m outdoor swimming pool, six bedrooms, three bathrooms with one of them being a ensuite for the master bedroom, outdoor entertaining area fit for a king and a three door garage.
By the time that the house had been eventually built, Gohan had saved up enough money to hire the best interior decorator in the city to make his house a home.
Yeah, I guess in the end all of my hard work has paid off. Gohan thought to himself as he walked in through the front door, Gohan headed towards the shower as he wanted to get himself cleaned up. He still hadn't cleaned himself up from Videl earlier in the morning so his pants were a bit sticky…
After having cleaned himself up, Gohan headed the kitchen and unpacked all of the food that his maid had cooked and devoured it all. By the time that he had finished indulging himself, the black haired man knew that it was high he got to work. His little brother just turned eighteen three days and he had to host the party because Chi-Chi was busy working.
This was something that Goten was extremely thankful for because he knew that his brother was going to be a hell of a lot more lenient compared to his mother.
Flying all the way to West City which was on the other side of the world, Gohan touched down in a car park and got in his Aston. Next stop, the liquor store.
Spending the good part of two thousand dollars on alcohol, Gohan was thankful for the invention of the freezer capsule which allowed him to place all of the drinks in his car without taking up all of the space.
Before he could drive to the next stop before arriving fashionably late to his little brother's party, Goten called his mobile. "Where the hell are you bro? you were supposed to be here half an hour ago."
"Sheesh relax… I'm just leaving to go meet mum to get all of the food for tonight and then I'll be come straight there." Gohan said and even though they could not see one another, the younger of the two brothers knew that Gohan had just rolled his eyes.
"Yeah well hurry up, you've got all the drinks so hurry the fuck up!" With that being said, Goten ended the phone call.
The twitching of the left eye made it clear to anyone he drove past that Gohan was not happy at all. He was doing a favour for his younger brother considering this party wouldn't have been allowed to be anywhere near as big had he not offered to help out.
Rocking up at his mother's high end sushi restaurant, Gohan walked into the restaurant. Within seconds he was greeted by a young, brown haired girl. "Hi there, my name is Valese, sorry sir but we are closed until 5pm. Is there something that I can help you with?"
With a smirk on his face, Gohan walked up to the girl which made her nervous as he was in kissing distance. Instead of that, he put both of his arms on either one of her hips and lifted her up in the air. Turning around he placed her back down and without words, headed into the staff only kitchen.
"Hey! Wait a minute! You're not allowed to like go in there!" The girl said as she tried to get Gohan to realise that it was off limits. Completely ignoring this, Gohan went inside and found out where his mum was thanks to her Ki signature and walked up behind her.
Due to everyone focusing on the preparation for tonight, none of the chefs spotted Gohan entering. That's why it was such a surprise when they all heard I'm gonna kill you" followed by a large shriek of terror.
Chi-Chi for her part almost had a god damn heart attack when some unknown stranger wrapped their arms around her stomach and lifter her high off the ground.
Using her martial arts skills which had long gone unused, Chi-Chi turned around and gave a large slap to the face of her unknown assailant. Said person didn't even bother fighting back as he was too busy laughing his head off.
Once the mother of two realised just who exactly it was that had done that to her made a frown appear on her face. "I hate you. How many times have people told you that you are a horrible person?"
"Hahaha you know you love me." Gohan said as he laughed uncontrollably.
"Yes, I suppose I do." Chi-Chi replied with a smile on her face before she leaned in and hugged her son.
All of the other chef's around the kitchen couldn't believe their eyes, they had no idea what was going on and what to make of it. After releasing the hug with her eldest son who she hadn't seen in a long time, Chi-Chi took pity on her colleagues and informed them of what was going on.
"As unfortunate as it is, this despicable person who should be put in hell for scaring me like that is my eldest son." The resounding "ahhh's" felt through the kitchen before Valese spoke up.
"I'm sorry Miss Chi-Chi. I tried to warn him not to come in here but he just wouldn't listen." As Valese said this, she bowed down as she knew what she did was wrong.
Waving it off, the mother of two replied. "Oh that's alright darling. We all make mistakes just make sure it doesn't happen again."
"I'll try my best Miss Chi-Chi." The girl said with a smile on her face.
Nodding as she liked the dedication that the girl was showing to her job, Chi-Chi changed her attention to her eldest son. "Gohan all of the food for the party is in this capsule. Make sure you place it down on our large family table before opening or otherwise you will have to clean up the mess." As she demanded this of her son, Chi-Chi handed over the capsule with all of the food.
"Oh and I guess I should thank you for doing this even though you are a horrible child who gives their parents heart attacks, so thank you for doing this for me." The son grin and the scratching the back of the head came out in full force as Gohan didn't know how to respond.
Turning around to the youngest employee in her restaurant Chi-Chi looked down at her watch and made a decision. "Gohan you are to take Valese over to her house and let her get changed before taking her to the party. Valese, I'm giving you an hour early mark on your shift that I expect for you to make up on your next shift."
There was visible excitement on the face of Valese as she was happy to finish early allowing her to go to her boyfriend's party that much earlier. It also allowed the other girls that were going to be there time to try and approach what was hers and hers alone with that being Goten.
"Uhh, sure thing mum." After giving her one last hug and a kiss on the forehead, Gohan walked out of the kitchen and into the dining room. As he walked out, Gohan was followed by Valese.
"Sorry about before, I just really wanted to surprise my mum, I hope you're not mad."
There was a frown on her face but when he looked into her eyes, Gohan knew that she had seen the funny side to the situation. "So you're Goten's brother huh. He said that you were like really really smart and you live heaps far away.
"Haha, it's good that Goten still has that impression of me. So how do you know my little brother, do you go to the same school or something?"
Laughing at the question, Valese replied. "Haha no silly billy. Goten goes to an all-boys school while I go to an all-girls school… oh my god that car is like so totally amazing! I wonder who owns it?" Valese's attention quickly changed when she walked out of the restaurant she saw Gohan's Aston parked out the front.
In response, all Gohan did was take out the keys from his pocket and shake them. The noise that this generated from Valese squealing was enough to make Gohan wince thanks to his enhanced hearing.
Apart from showing off a little at the start by revving the engine, Gohan didn't do anything outlandish. As he was driving to the destination that his satnav provided, Gohan couldn't help but wonder why his mum was so familiar with this girl. He guessed that she must have been a close friend or even a girlfriend.
Once they arrived at Valese's house, Gohan patiently waited inside his car for the girl to have a quick shower and get changed into some different clothes. During this time, Goten decided that the booze should have arrived a while ago and wondered why it was taking so long.
Big bro what's taking so damn long!?
Mum forced me to take some girl from her restaurant to her house before coming over. She said her name was Valese or something.
Oh alright then. She's my girlfriend so you better not say anything embarrassing about me to her!
The moment that Gohan read that text, he couldn't help but become envious. Here his brother had a really cute girlfriend and was probably one of the most popular people in school thanks to being the best friend of Trunks Briefs. This was the complete opposite compared to what his high school life was like. There was every opportunity that Goten had already experienced something that had taken him six years later to enjoy.
Before he could go too further into comparing his life to his brother's, Valese came running out of the house back to his car. That smile that was on her face never left and she quickly buckled her seat belt. "Let's go!"
Finally, with everything now out of the way, Gohan went slightly faster than the speed limit with the intention of getting to his home away from home. The sole reason for this was the fact that he was hungry and in his pocket he knew that he had enough food for around about 150 humans as well as 1 fully grown half saiyan and two who were in the final development stages of adolescence.
He was damn hungry.
Later
"Alright we're here. Finally Goten will stop messaging me." Gohan said more to himself than Valese as the second Goten was out the front of the house, waiting for them to get out of the car.
"Wow you never told me you got a new car. It looks heaps sick!" Goten said truthfully. Forgetting about what he came out here for Gohan spent the next few minutes admiring the car and even going to the point of sitting inside of it in the driver's seat.
"Hey Gohan… you know how it's my birthday right…"
Not even giving the newly adult member of the family a chance to finish the sentence, Gohan instantly cut him off as he knew where it was going. "You've got about a snowball's chance in hell of driving this."
"Well it was worth trying haha." Goten said as he rubbed the back of his head. After doing this he made his way over to Gohan. "it's good to see you big bro, it has been far too long since me and mum last saw you." As he said this, Goten gave the elder of the pair a hug to which Gohan returned it.
"Yeah you should be seeing me around a bit more often as things have quieted down a bit at work."
"Sweet as! Maybe one of those times you'll let me take out the Aston."
"Yeah let's not and say we did…"
There was a smile on the face which was unusual for any of the people that knew him. pretty much all of the time there was the trademark smirk that came from his father etched onto his face. Seeing this, Gohan had one final person to greet before the party could truly get started. "Hey Trunks, how's it going? It's been quite a while since we last saw each other." Gohan said as he offered a handshake.
"Yeah, it seems like you've been awfully busy as of recently. So how was she?" Trunks responded to the handshake before turning it into a handshake / hug. The last part of his response was said quietly enough so that only Goten and Gohan could hear it.
"Haha, I'm not telling you that." He must have done it quite a lot to be able to smell it off me from last night. Wow I guess these two have it much better than what I did when I was there age.
Making his way around the back of the house, Gohan was thankful for the fact that Trunks and Gohan had already placed two tables for the food and drinks.
"The food and drinks are finally here!" Goten shouted as the quartet of people entered through the room.
"Can I have your attention!" Gohan called out loudly to which the people at the party turned around to the older man. "As most of you probably don't know, I'm Goten's big brother. This means that I'm here supervising all of you kids instead of our mum for which you should be heaps thankful for. I will be pouring the drinks to make sure that no one drinks too much." Gohan said before waiting for them to acknowledge this.
Once this happened he continued on. "Alright I only have one rule for tonight. Don't do anything stupid. This involves many things but is not limited to breaking things in the house and if you are caught, you will be expected to help out cleaning up the mess and fitting the repair or replacement bill. If you get too drunk and start acting violent, I will find out about it and I will kick you and all the people associating with you out of the party."
Some kid at the back decided it would be funny to question this. "Oh yeah and how are you going to do that? You don't look so tough."
Being the type of person to stand up for his family, Goten spoke up. "He's going to kick your ass just like I would Parer! My big brother's just as strong as me so he could break your face if he wanted to!"
"Thanks for that Goten but if you want to know a secret, I taught Goten martial arts so if you act like a drop kick; Trunks, my younger brother or I won't hesitate to put you into the gutter face first."
"Finally, as you can see we have a pool and you are welcome to use it as long as you don't act like a complete spastic about it. There is alcohol involved so make sure that you don't go into the water if you are drunk. I don't think it is too much to ask for you young adults to try and not kill yourselves.
"Now that that is all out of the way, you can stop thinking of me as the arsehole who ruined your time and start this party!" As he said this, Gohan placed the capsule which had all of the alcohol onto the table and opened it.
"Holy crap! That's heaps! Gohan you're the best!" Goten screamed with excitement that was overflowing at that point. Turning to the crowd who he had invited to his party, he spoke up. "My brother bought all of this out of his own pocket so I think he deserves a cheer!"
As he was getting showered in praise, Gohan had no idea to handle himself. Being cheered upon by all of these teenagers was not something that he was used to.
Getting two stacks of shot glasses out from underneath the table, Gohan started lining them up. "So who wants something to drink?" he asked loudly and low and behold, the teenagers started coming in their droves to get a drink from him. looking over to his brother, he knew this was worth it just by the thankful look Goten was sending him.
Four hours into the party and thankfully nothing bad had happened yet but he knew that it was too early to count his chickens just yet. It seemed like everyone was having a good time and since these kids came from a good school, there was hope that nothing that he would frown upon happening.
The lights had been turned on and they illuminated making the night time pool party that much better. It also gave Gohan a chance to do something that he was not proud of. That was perve on all of the teenage girls at the party who were drunk and in bikini's. There were definitely some hot girls among them.
Thankfully this train of thought was broken when Trunks came over to him with a beer in hand. "So where's your special lady friend Trunks? If Goten has a girlfriend, you should be able to get one fairly easily."
A smirk appeared on the face of Trunks before he responded. "Nah all the girls here are sluts. I bet you probably get the same thing but not as much. When your family is the richest in the world, every girl tries to get amongst that."
Nodding, Gohan definitely understood that feeling. "Yeah, I know what you mean but don't you want be with someone you can trust?"
Instead of agreeing with him, Trunks simply laughed in his face. "Why get into a relationship? That's for when I'm old like you. I've got plenty of time to have fun before settling down."
"Old like me!? Get out of here you young whippersnapper!" Gohan said over exaggerated to which Trunks just laughed.
"'Kay 'Han haha just remember that you have to give a speech." Trunks said as he literally walked ten steps to chat up a girl who was by herself. It game, set, match as far as he was concerned.
I'm not old am I? Looking at all of the kids around him talking about stuff that he had no idea about, Gohan came to the shocking realisation… I guess I am too old to hang out with these kids but I'm definitely not an old person like mum or Bulma…
Half an hour later and it was now time for Gohan to give his speech. Making his way from outside where all of the drinks were, Gohan got everyone's attention and told them to come inside.
With a microphone in hand, Gohan spoke up. "I'd just like to say thank you first to all of you for turning up and making this night a good one. Thankfully nothing bad has happened as of yet but don't use that as an excuse as it will not work." To this, the crowd gave Gohan a cheer.
"Now where to begin… hmm I could start with telling you all the embarrassing things that Goten has done like the time where he was wrestling with Trunks and his pants to fell down to reveal that he had forgotten to put on any underwear that day." laughter quickly followed as nobody would expect that happening to one of the most popular kids at school. Trunks for his part couldn't help but hold his head in shame but there was a smile hidden underneath everything.
"Hey! You said you wouldn't tell anybody that!" there was a smile on his face indicating that he wasn't truly mad at his elder brother.
"Oh come on! You were only 7 at the time and there are worse stories that I could tell everyone here."
With Gohan having the last word, he returned to speaking to the crowd. "Despite some of the questionable decisions you made with Trunks when it came to terrorizing the absolute living hell out of everyone, Goten, we can see that you have grown into a fine young man and both me and mum couldn't be any prouder of you." Gohan said with sincerity in his voice.
Goten, for his part had no idea what to say but the look in his eyes let Gohan know that his words didn't go unheard and he was thankful for the kindness.
"That is why I have decided to give you this as a present." As he said this, the elder of the two put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a capsule and then proceeded to chuck it at Goten.
"What is it!?" One of the kids shouted out as they couldn't see the writing on the capsule.
"Come on and have a look." Goten said as he made his way outside. With everyone giving enough space for the youngest Son to throw the capsule onto the ground Goten unleashed the capsule. Right there in front of him was his elder brother's old BMW 3 series coupe.
"It's all yours little bro just make sure not to break it as you're paying for it." The smile that he got in return from his brother who was already sitting in the driver's seat made it all worth it. Every single one of the kids were jealous and even Trunks to a lesser extent was and it made him feel like the cool older brother that he had always envisioned himself was.
Author's note:
This chapter is completely filler for the "main" storyline but I thought that I would create a backdrop and expand on a few of the blanks.
I also know that a tertiary degree in culinary arts isn't a real life degree well at least at the two universities here in my city in Australia but I decided to put it in anyway as it was easier to explain the situation.
Oh and it would also be great if had a words to chapter ratio search function. It's annoying trying to find a semi decent story with at least 3,000 words a chapter littered amongst every 500 word long chapters. Admittedly though, I didn't expect this chapter to be this long.
