Trunks had taken his break at work to get started on his idea to give his lover what he knew he wanted. Making his way to the lab, he got started on the capsule house by sketching out some plans. When he finished doing that, he collected everything he knew he would need to make this house possible. Afterwards Trunks knew he would need a bigger space to get started on building.

His break was over, and he got back to work. He felt himself smiling so much that he thought it would get stuck that way. A knock came to the door as he just finished his last piece of work for the day. Sitting back in his chair, he said, "Come in." His guest surprised him. "Father, what brings you here?" he asked as he stood from his chair.

"Are you finished for the day?"

"Yeah, do you want to take a walk or something?"

The evening breeze felt good on Trunks' face. Trunks closed his eyes and opened them to see a look on his father's face he hadn't seen before. They walked in the park and took a seat on a bench under a tree.

"So, what's going on with you?"

"Are you sure you're ready to bond completely with Goten?"

"I have no doubts father. I love him. I want to be bonded to him for the rest of my life."

"Then there's nothing more to discuss. Just that I thought this day would never come, for you" Vegeta smirked.

"And Bulla?"

"Honestly I hoped I would be long dead before she bonded."

Trunks laughed. "I know it's hard to let go sometimes."

"And you know this how?"

"It's hard for Goten to let go of his mother's opinions of what his life should be, but I think he's making a lot of progress."

"I've never told you this, but it was hard for me to accept your mother's pregnancy with you. Once you were born, I kept my distance. Then when I tried to get close the only way I could was through fighting, making you a strong saiyan. Still, it wasn't enough. We've come along way son, and I'm proud of you and the saiyan and man you've become."

"I would think some of that had has to do with mom, Goten and you believe it or not."

"Any luck finding a place?"

"How did you know about that?"

"You sister dragged me and her mate shopping to carry her bags. I saw you and Goten on our way out of the mall."

"Did you tell mom by any chance?"

"Yes, and she wanted to talk to you about some places in the city."

"I have an idea of my own actually, so I wouldn't be needing mom's help house hunting."

"You know you're mother will be broken hearted," Vegeta smirked.

"She'll be ok dad when I tell her. I just want to make it a surprise for Goten."

"You are a romantic like your mother." He smiled.

"I can see how happy she makes you." He felt his father's arm around him as they got up and headed home.

Vegeta headed right to the gravity room as Trunks made his way into the kitchen to see a figure bent over the stove, taking something out of it. Getting a closer look, Trunks saw the figure stand up with a roast in their hands, and he smiled, looking at his boyfriend in a chef hat and an apron that said kiss the cook.

"Well it looks like someone's been busy. What's the special occasion?"

Goten was surprised by Trunks but thankfully was able to put the roast down before he accidentally dropped it. "My mom called me and said she wanted to have dinner with your family tonight. Your mom was helping me cook, but she disappeared somewhere."

Trunks smiled. "My dad's home. I'm sure that has something to do with it."

"Really? They can't keep their hands off each other for even a second."

"Not as long as I've known them."

"Well I'm almost done anyway. I just have to clean up the kitchen, set the table, and shower." He said as he took out for some foil and brought it around the roast to cover it to keep it warm.

"You really want things to be perfect tonight don't you?"

"Well I've never cooked for my mother before it would be a nice surprise." He saw Trunks frown. "What's wrong Trunks?"

"You work too hard to get your mother's approval Goten. I'm just worried you won't be able to let go and let yourself be happy for what you've decided for your life."

"I just want—He felt Trunks' hands on either side of his face.

"I love you so much. You're perfect just the way you are, the way you really want to be inside. I want you to be happy. It's the most important thing to me, and I know you're not going to be happy trying to prove something to your mom."

Goten wrapped his arms around Trunks and smiled. "I love you to Trunks, and," he sighed, "you're right again. Don't you hate being right?"

"No and besides I know you so well."

"I just wish you weren't the one trying to pick up the pieces all the time."

"Well it's been a while since I needed you to pick the pieces of my life."

They came out of each other's arms and smiled. "You always make me feel better."

"Well you know there ARE other ways I can make you feel better but I'm sure you don't want to do anything like that with your family coming over soon and everything."

Goten kissed Trunks on the lips and then stepped back from him and smiled. "Thanks for understanding." He took off upstairs to take a shower.

Leaving Trunks with the mess in the kitchen, the lavender-haired man decided to clean up for him as Bulma came back into the room. She decided to help her son with the dirty dishes.

"Goten wondered why you abandoned him," said Trunks.

Bulma smiled. "Sorry I kind of got distracted by another one of my projects."

"Is that what you're calling dad these days?"

"Now son don't talk that way with your mother," said Vegeta.

"Fine but I hope you two can try to resist each other at dinner tonight." Trunks smirked as he made his way upstairs.

He heard the shower still running and felt his urges running wild inside him.

Goten came out of the shower, wrapped himself in a towel, and grabbed his watch. Looking at it, he realized he had an hour until his family showed up. He stopped himself before he went all berserk. He shook his head. 'What am I doing? Trunks is right. I'm sure he'll love to hear that again.'

He leaned his hands against the counter, looking into the mirror of condensation. 'All my energy has gone into trying to please my mother, which obviously is never going to happen. I need to accept my life the way I chose it. I'm happy. I don't need her anymore to put me down and tell me what a waste I am.' He smiled. A sense of relief washed over him and he felt his body finally able to relax.

Walking out of the bathroom and into his boyfriend's old room, he went into Trunks' closet, dropped his towel, and began looking for something he wanted to wear. Not something his mother would want him to wear. When he had the clothes he wanted to wear in his hands, he felt another pair of hands sneak their way around his waist, pressing him against a warm body.

"What are you doing in my closet chibi?" Trunks said in his ear.

"I jus—just needed some clothes. I didn't bring any with me."

"I know what you need chibi," Trunks said as he kissed down his neck.

Goten decided it wasn't enough as he turned to face Trunks' while his arms were still around him and kissed him roughly on the lips while his bare leg rubbed against Trunks' clothed leg.

Trunks' hands slipped from around his boyfriend's waist to his butt, and he squeezed it, earning a surprise squeak from Goten as they ended their kiss. "I really thought you would have seen that coming." He smirked.

"Well it's not like I knew you were going to find me in your closet and start to sexually harass me."

"I didn't see you try and stop me when your leg rubbed up against mine." He smirked.

"Hey I was just following my instincts."

"Sure use that as an excuse. Just know I know you want me as bad as I want you. You just have better restraint then I do."

"I'm going to take that as a compliment."

"Take it anyway you want and you should probably get dressed or I can love you in my closet. It's your choice chibi."

Goten smiled at him as he put on his clothes. "I'd rather not do it in your closet because someone could come up here and find us. I don't want to be interrupted when we're together and besides we're going to need more than," he looked at his watch, "thirty minutes to do what we want to do. I'd rather not rush."

"That's practical. I'm impressed."

"You should be. You're rubbing off on me."

"And I'll continue to rub off on you later and until the end of time."

"Gee aren't you sweet."

"Believe it or not I have these rare occasions where I can't control what comes out of my mouth."

"I believe it," Goten smirked.

The doorbell rang, and the two men made their way downstairs.

Bulma opened the door, letting the Son family inside. Goten was happy to see them but as he looked at his mother, he couldn't read her face, which worried him. He could sense Trunks looking at him with worry, but he leaned and kissed him on the cheek before greeting his family.

Trunks reached into his jacket pocket, bringing out the capsule that held the home the two would be living in very soon. He had worked so hard on it, spending nights at the lab and with a construction team to get everything perfect. 'He deserves it after all he's been through lately.' Putting the capsule back in his pocket, he noticed him and his father were the only ones in the living room.

"Dad?"

"Are you coming son?"

"Yeah uh just got distracted by something."

They joined their family and Goten's in the dinning room as Bulma and Goten brought in the food they had prepared hours before for this occasion. Bulma noticed how surprised by all the food and how good it looked. "Believe it or not Goten made all this food," she said.

"Wait a minute, you could cook all this time and I was stuck cooking?" asked Videl.

"Well I did take some cooking classes at college but I was just starting. I didn't want to accidentally hurt someone with my cooking."

"I think it's a nice think that uncle Goten cooked for us," she smiled.

"Thanks Pan," he smiled.

"Yeah I'm impressed especially since when you were little you almost burnt the house down," said Gohan.

"Trunks was there to," said Goten.

"Gee thanks for throwing me under the bus chibi," Trunks smiled.

"No problem."

"Can we eat now," whined Goku.

Goten laughed. "Sure dad, everyone dig in there's plenty."

While conversation was going on, Goten wondered what had brought his mother here. His eyes went to hers to notice she was staring back at him. A lot of emotions were going on in her eyes, pain, regret, disappointment, and love. He smiled at her and all she could do was get up from the table, excuse herself, and walk out of the room. Goten did the same thing and followed her outside to the backyard.

"Mom, you set this up so what is it you wanted to say?"

"I'm sorry I hurt you Goten, you know I don't agree with what you're doing."

"I know mom, but you think you could still love me?"

"I'll always love you sweetie. You're my son."

Goten buried his face in his mother's shoulder as he cried. He felt her arms around him and finally felt his mother's love surround him. She was crying to as she held him tight.

A pair of blue eyes witnessed the touching scene and smiled. Trunks was happy Chichi and Goten were able to reconcile. Bulma came up behind her son and smiled. "So, they're finally on the right track."

"I knew he wouldn't feel completely happy without knowing how much she cared about him despite the life he's chosen." Bulma knew he had something to do with it.

After Goten and Chichi came back inside and joined their family and friends to finish dinner, the two families hung out in the living room as Bulma put in some home videos. A lot of laughter and awes went around the room as well as embarrassed looks.

An image popped up on the screen of Bulma holding baby Trunks up against the glass screen of where all the newborn babies were kept. They were looking in on a sleeping Goten who yawned, earning awe from his niece, making the raven-haired man blush.

"Look Trunks there's you're new playmate Goten." She looked at her son. "Say hi Goten."

Trunks was just mesmerized by the little raven-haired newborn that he pressed his face against the glass as well as his hands and then suddenly Goten's eyes opened, looking directly at the lavender-haired baby and smiled the infamous Son grin before he said his first word, "Trunks."

They all looked at Goten who blushed for the second time tonight. "What?" he said.

"I guess we shouldn't be too surprised by this," said Bulla.

"I know what you mean. A year before my little brother was born Trunks' first word was chibi," said Gohan.

The eyes shifted from Goten to Trunks whose turn it was to be blushed. "You know I'm starting to think you all feed off embarrassment," said Trunks as he smiled, turning off the TV before walking off.

Goten found Trunks in the backyard under a tree facing away from the sliding door. Goten joined him and smiled when he saw a smile forming on Trunks' face. "What are you thinking?"

"You're going to think it's crazy."

"Tell me anyway."

"I remember saying my first word and then after I did, I had this feeling someone special would enter my life a year later."

"That's not crazy. Didn't Vegeta say saiyans dream about who they're destined to be with before they mate with them?"

"Yeah, it's rare I remember my dad saying. Only true mates had that ability. He told me there was only one historical record of true saiyan mates on planet Vegeta."

"Really, who?"

Trunks smiled. "King Vegeta and his wife. My dad said she died giving birth to him. My grandfather took it hard. Afterwards, the king turned into a ruthless, cold killer, taking over planets, destroying a lot of races. He then turned my dad into the same kind of sayain."

"That's horrible." Goten's eyes held so much sympathy for the races that died at the hands of his grand father but then he smiled.

"What is it chibi?"

"You think finding true mates is inherited?"

"You mean because my mom found my dad, Bulla found Uub, and I found you?"

"Yeah."

"Maybe." Trunks leaned his head on Goten's shoulder and smiled with excitement on his face. "Anyway I have a big surprise for you."

"What is it Trunks?"

Everyone joined Trunks in a beautiful, green field, wondering what was about to happen. Although the beauty of nature distracted Goten, he was the first to speak. "Hey Trunks, what are you up to?" he smiled.

"Well I was only going to share this with you for now and tell our families later but what better time then now since we're all here."

Trunks took a capsule out of his pocket and threw it into the perfect spot. What appeared surprised everyone but no one could top Goten's surprise. It was a Capsule home, which was a bit bigger then the ones he usually created, but this was a special home.

"I know your heart wasn't living in the city together, so I did the next best thing. I designed a capsule home we can live in. It has everything you like. I'm positive about it because I know you so well, so I thought we could live here in the forest. This spot is the best I could find, and it has a nice view of the mountains."

"What are you a real estate agent or something?" asked Gohan as his daughter laughed.

"I'm very multi-talented." Trunks smiled. "Your brother can attest to that." He smirked.

"Trunks!" Goten exclaimed while blushing as his boyfriend put his arm around him.

"So what do you think chibi?" he asked seriously.

"I think I want to see the inside before I answer your question."

"Fair enough." Trunks let everyone inside while he stayed outside, admiring the beautiful view before him.

Goten came out of the house to see his boyfriend leaning up against a tree, smiling as he looked at his chibi. "So—Before he could say anymore, Goten knocked them both over onto the ground where he gave Trunks many kisses all over his face and neck.

Trunks was surprised but continued to let his boyfriend shower him with kisses as he wrapped his arms around him, pressing him tightly up against him, hearing his chibi moan at the close contact. When Trunks grinded against him, Goten arched to meet him.

"Trunks!"

Trunks smiled down at the beautiful man below him as he cupped his cheek. Leaning in, Trunks captured his lips with Goten's in a sweet kiss before pulling away to see how clouded his eyes had become. "I love you chibi."

"I love you to Trunks."

"So, I'm guessing you love it?"

"It's amazing. I can't believe you did this for us. It's so thoughtful of you."

"We deserve it so much. We deserve to be happy in our own home where," he gave his boyfriend a dirty smirk, " we can make our own memories together."

"Oh," he acted all innocent in his face, "what kind of memories?"

"Even if your innocence is sexy, I know you know what I'm saying."

"Nothing gets passed you." He pecked Trunks on the lips before lying back down on the grass with Trunks right beside him, holding him close under the shaded tree. "I have to admit you picked a nice spot."

"Yeah I did, didn't I?" He smirked proudly.

"Don't get cocky on me Briefs."
