The next morning Goten had off from work, so he decided to visit his family. Flying over the mountain area, he knew was getting close to his parent's house. He was really nervous because he knew they probably saw the news last night. 'I wonder how they're going to react to this? I mean it's one thing to tell them Trunks is my boyfriend, and it's another for them to find out he's my fiancée.'
Landing a few feet away, he decided to walk the rest of the way. A smile came to his face as he remembered when he and Trunks had gotten off the bus and headed to Trunks' place. A blush came to his face just thinking about what happened as soon as they got inside.
Trunks couldn't keep his hands off the younger saiyan. The prince's lips were on his, and his hands groped him everywhere they could get to. What Trunks said next to him when his lips moved from his was, "just knowing you're going to be my husband makes me hot." His blue eyes had been full of lust as he picked up Goten into his arms and carried him to his bedroom.
The love making that night had been intense that Goten had trouble getting out of bed this morning. Trunks had all ready been off to work and here he was, facing his family with the news that they hadn't even heard from him but from the media.
Before he knew it, he was at the front door, knocking. Stepping back, he heard footsteps come from the other side of the door. His eyes came in contact with his smiling dad's. "Hey dad, can I come in?"
"Sure son this is your home to." Goku stepped aside and let his son walk past him inside the house before closing the door.
He looked around, and he could feel his emotions bubbling to the surface. He couldn't hold it in as he burst into tears. He felt his father's arms around him instantly, holding him tight. "It's ok Goten, everything's going to be all right."
Goten let go of his father. "Th—this isn't my home anymore dad."
"Don't say that son just because of your mother. You were born and raised in this house. There are a lot of good memories here."
"That's true," he smiled sadly, "that's what makes it so painful, that I can't go back. It's time to move forward."
"With marrying Trunks," Goku smiled. "I'm happy for you son. Trunks is a good man. He's always been there for you." His eyes went to the ring on his son's finger. "And look at the ring. Wow! Trunks doesn't hold back does he?"
"No I guess not." Goten smiled. "So, how's mom doing?"
"You know your mom likes to keep busy. She's out with her friends."
"Oh, well is anyone else home?"
"Well I know Gohan's home today working on some work stuff. Lets go see him."
"Sure, sounds great."
They walked out of the house and over to Gohan's. "You're not sure how Gohan's going to react."
"You know I've shared a room with him when I was little, but I never know how he's going to react to anything personal I have to say."
"He's your brother Goten. He loves you and whatever he says, I'm here to support you."
"I know. Thanks dad."
"Hey Gohan," said Goten as his big brother let him in as well as their father. "I hope it's not a bad time for you I just thought I should explain—
"What's there to explain Goten? You're getting married to Trunks."
"I'm sorry you had to hear it from the media rather then me, but the proposal was spur of the moment."
"And you had to say yes."
Goten could feel himself getting angry. "I love him Gohan. We've been best friends since I was born, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. No, I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him whether you and mom like it or not."
"I have nothing against Trunks ok, but it just seems to soon for the both of you to be that committed to each other."
"Well we are all ready bonded to each other in the saiyan tradition. We can't be more committed then that Gohan."
"Vegeta told you about that?"
"Well it is important to know our saiyan history Gohan. I thought he would have told you to."
"He did and when Videl and I became serious, I told her about the bonding ritual. We decided not to go through with it because the consequences were so great."
"What kind of consequences Gohan?"
"An unhealthy dependence on each other for one. Sharing thoughts is another. It can become too overwhelming for those involved. The dominant mate, Trunks, can become overly possessive of you to a violent level. Goten, you should have come to me first before you made this kind of decision."
"I can handle myself Gohan. I don't need you to watch out for me anymore."
"I'm just worried Goten, can you blame me? He's the son of Vegeta."
"So what? Vegeta's a good man. He may not always have been, but he is now. I'm marrying Trunks, and you can't stop me. I only hoped you would support my decision and even be there to support Trunks and I."
Gohan sighed. "You know I will be little bro. I just hope you know what you're getting yourself into."
"Thanks Gohan," Goten said as he put a hand on his brother's shoulder.
"So, you two set a date yet?" asked Goku.
"No not yet. He was just so excited that I said yes."
"You showered before you came over here right?" asked Gohan.
Goten blushed. "Of course I did."
"Goten, I heard congratulations," said Videl as she came through the door with her daughter Pan and hugged Goten.
"Thanks Videl."
"You know it's about time you two got married. You two were always so close and right by each other's side. It just seems fitting," said Videl.
"I think so to," said Trunks who walked through the open door.
Goten felt his heart racing. 'Why is it whenever he enters a room I get all flustered?'
Pan smiled at her uncle's nervousness when Trunks came into the room. "What are you so nervous about uncle Goten?" she asked with a playful smile on her lips.
Goten blushed. "You're so mean Pan," he smiled.
