-The Academy-

Gohan was sitting in his history class, he was learning the legend of Brolly, the forefather of the Saiyan race. He was taking notes on the key points in his legend as the teacher read it to them from a well worn scroll that the royal palace let them borrow. He also took inquiry notes, there were somethings that didn't make a lot of sense to him. Like how the three different moons of Vegetasei had their own affect on the Saiyans and he kept hearing about this "Brídeach an Gealach Dearg."

When class finally let out, Gohan gathered up his books and placed his notes on the teacher's desk before he made a b-line for the library. The room was big, but according to everyone the palace library was a big as the Academy itself filled with books from Vegetasei and it's surrounding neighbors as well as visitors from other planets. He walked up to the librarian and he looked up from a book he was reading.

"Can I help you?" He asked.

"Yes... I was wondering if there were any books on the moons of Vegetasei and if there was anything on Brídeach an Gealach Dearg?"

The man sighed and stood up. He placed a marker in his book and moved from the desk. He led Gohan to the section where the books on Vegetasei and its moons were. He pulled out a few choice books and handed them to Gohan.

"I can only get you the books on the moons. If you want Brídeach an Gealach Dearg, then you have to go to the royal palace and I highly doubt they'd let a third class in." The man said as he led him back to the desk and checked out the books. "Bring them back when you finish them."

Gohan thanked him, though he was a bit miffed with being called third class. He put the books into his bag and bowed his head before leaving. As he walked down the hall he could hear many students talking.

"I heard that Admiral Burdock's going away for a while and the King's not happy." A big buff boy said.

"Really? I thought he wasn't going off world until the found his other son, Kakarot." A tall lanky Saiyan said this time.

"You didn't hear!" Came the only girl's voice from the small group.

"What?" both boys looked at her.

"Kakarot was found on some pathetic planet and brought back with his son! In fact his son's here at the academy!"

"Eh!"

"Yep, but he's a pansy... Oh... look there he is." She said pointing at Gohan as he passed them.

Gohan didn't look at them, he kept his eyes on the ground as he walked by, his tail hanging down, swaying a little as he walked. He blinked when a hand fell on his shoulder and he looked up to see his uncle Radditzu.

"Brat! I need you to watch Toma for me!" Radditzu said thrusting his son into his nephew's arms.

"Eh! But- but he's not even weaned yet!" Gohan cried a little.

"Relax, I pumped a few bottles for him. Now please take him, there was a collapse at the mines and well we're needed at the mines to get them out."

"... Is..."

"For now we don't know. Now please take care of Toma for me?"

"Okay..." Gohan said and took the large diaper bag from his uncle and watched him run off. Gohan noticed the silence around him and quickly turned and hurried back to his room with cousin in his arms, the small boy liked Gohan almost as much as his mother for some reason.

He walked into the small room that he shared with his roommate a shy boy much like himself. They and a few others got a whole dorm to themselves because they were "Iompróirí." He wondered what that meant but no one answered him when he asked. Gohan settled Toma on his bed, wrapping his tail over the baby to keep him from rolling off the bed as he began pulling out that he was going to need before finding the baby's blanket. As soon as Toma saw the blue cloth he whined and fussed, wanting his blanky.

Gohan laughed a little as he unwrapped his tail from his cousin and gave him the blanky. He let out a squeal before he nuzzled his face into the extra soft material before curling and falling asleep with it, sucking on his tiny fist. Smiling, he kissed his cheek and pulled out his books to begin his homework...

Gohan yawned after a couple of hours, he had finished his homework and was currently reading on the effects of the moon had on Saiyans when his roommate walked in.

"Cayenne, where were you?"

"Sorry, I got distracted by Devon again... Eh, I didn't know you were mated..."

"Huh? Oh no, that's my cousin Toma... Eh? You awake ,you little sneak?" Gohan asked, having gotten up to see Toma still sucking on his fist while looking up at him with big dark brown eyes. "Did you talk to him?"

"... no... Um why's your cousin here?"

"A cave in at the mines happened and they needed extra hands. Since I'm the only other person he trusts with Toma here, I'm keeping watch. Sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it..."

Gohan nodded and the two sat on the bed and entertained Toma for a while before Gohan got him changed and fed before he rocked him gently to sleep. All the while talking with Cayenne about his secret crush...

-Royal palace.-

"Good evening Vegeta-sama." greeted many servants as he walked down the halls. He ignored them all as his thoughts were focused on a certain Saiyan.

He walked into this room and closed the door before he pulled off the armor and his gloves, followed by his boots and he headed into the bathroom to shower after sparring with some of the generals. The old fools were no match against him. He had been bored, but was also deeply annoyed since they kept trying to push their daughters and sons on him.

What annoyed him even more was said offspring trying to get his attention and nearly getting themselves killed while trying to do it. He got into the hot spray and slowly relaxed, letting his mind wander away from his foul day to something much more satisfying. Over the last few months, he been secretly watching Kakarot's son. Ever since he saw him on earth, he couldn't get the boy out of his head. He was always on his mind and he even wormed his way into his dreams.

He noticed that he liked flowers and climbing up trees if only to fall asleep there. In fact he tried it out for himself and he was rather... refreshed afterwords. The prefect balance of a cool shade and the warmth of the sun made it relaxing for one to sleep. He also saw that he was smart and playful; he had this light glow to him that made the cubs want to play with him or listen to his tall tales.

In fact there was hardly anything that he didn't like about him. The few things that he didn't like was the way kept his face down cast and his eyes looked anywhere but at the person speaking. There was also his habit of rubbing the back of his head, much like his father did. It irked him to no end seeing them do that. And another thing he didn't like was that he hid his tail from sight.

A Saiyan's tail was a very powerful weapon in battle, though it was also vulnerable as well. Saiyans use their tails as a means to communicate at a distance to see if the other was a threat or friendly. It was also the biggest erogenous zone during sex and it had the biggest scent gland in the body. A Saiyan would choose a mate based off the smell, if it was appealing they were a possible prospect, but if they came across someone that could attract multiple possible mates then it was a battle for who could top them.

'Mating season is pretty soon... but I already have a mate picked out... a very delicious one at that...' He thought getting out of the now cold water and drying off once he shut it off.

He walked into his room and smiled at the box he had picked up earlier. Oh yes, this was going to be an interesting challenge...

-Next Morning-

Gohan and Cayenne woke up to Toma crying and Gohan got up to change him, feed and burp him. After that he was happily playing with his tail, having discovered that it moves and was now trying to catch said appendage.

"That's so cute! You may want to watch it though. Baby's are prone to hair balls if they stick their tails in their mouths." Cayenne warned.

"Yes. He gave uncle Ditzu a scare already when he spit one out." Gohan told him. They headed down to breakfast and many Saiyans stared at Gohan as he carried his baby cousin in his arms.

He ignored the looks as he made sure that he had all of Toma's things in case his uncle came to get him. They got their food and sat at a table near the windows to eat. Cayenne was telling him about Devon, one of the son's of an Elite general. Gohan laughed a little as he told him about some of the things he learned on earth about courting and Cayenne was eager to learn. Halfway through their meal someone came up and slapped their hand on the table.

"Hey, you're that kid from Earth right?" he asked rather rudely as he leaned into Gohan's and Toman's personal bubble.

"Yes... Can I help you with something?" Gohan asked, his eyes narrowed on the hand that had been too close to Toma's hand when it slammed down on the surface.

"Yea you can in fact... I need something taken care of down there if you know what I mean, little whore."

Gohan hissed and he jumped back, the sound wasn't like anything they ever heard before. It was very much like a hiss a Namek would make. Toma hissed too, copying his big cousin.

"I am not a whore. I do not spread my legs to anyone and if you suggest such a thing again I won't be so kind." Gohan stated.

"Heh, I've seen you in sparring class, you refuse to fight back."

"Because you don't always have to fight!" Gohan snapped standing up.

"What is going on here!" Shouted Nappa as he came into the room. All the students snapped to attention as he walked by and over to where Gohan was still glaring at the prick.

"Root, back off man, Nappa's here!" hissed a friend of Root.

"Maggot!" Nappa snapped once he got to them.

Gohan still glared at him, but turned his head slightly to the right and bowed his head in respect to his commanding officer.

"Maggot!" Nappa yelled again and grabbed Root's tail in a harsh grip, crippling him instantly with the pain racing up and down his spine. "When I talk to you you listen! Now what is going on here?"

"He called me a whore, sir." Gohan told him and Cayenne nodded his head, as did several others, in agreement to what Gohan said.

Nappa growled and yanked the boy up by the base of his tail and snarled at him.

"That is a serious accusation. You better have the facts to back it up your you're out of here."

"Aaaaaaaaaah! Wh-what more do-do you need! H-he has a child th-there in his-his arms!" cried the boy as he tried to alleviate the pain in his tail.

"Nappa. What are you doing?" asked a cold voice and the bald Saiyan looked at the person and saw that it was Vegeta.

"Finding out why this punk is calling one of the Iompróirí a whore." He said darkly.

"L-look there! H-he has a-a brat!" the boy cried once more, tears streaming down his face as he indicated Gohan.

Vegeta looked at the boy and the baby. He set the box in his hand on the table and held his hands out for Toma.

"Give me the baby." He told him, a softer tone than he used before.

Gohan looked at him with defiant eyes, but handed him Toma. Toma blinked as he looked at Vegeta who sniffed the baby before he leaned into Gohan, taking in that heavenly scent, but he made sure to tease his neck a little before he pulled back. Gohan's cheeks had reddened a bit and he looked down as Vegeta smirked secretly at making the boy blush.

"You speak lies, boy. The baby and him don't share the same scent. In fact this baby happens to be Nappa's." Vegeta said, handing Toma back to Gohan.

"WHAT!"

"Tsk, you know the punishment, maggot..." Nappa hissed and tossed him to the floor by a couple of guards. "You just shamed yourself and your family... get out of here." Nappa hissed once more before he turned to Toma and Gohan. "Radditzu said that you had him so I was coming to get him."

"Yes. He finished eating a little while ago and I already changed him." Gohan told him.

Nappa nodded as he took Toma and the diaper bag before he left. Vegeta glared around th silent room and barked at everyone to leave. Gohan and Cayenne jumped like everyone else did and made to go but Vegeta grabbed Gohan's arm.

"Stay a moment." He said and Gohan gulped and nodded his head.

Cayenne looked worriedly at his friend, but Gohan shook his head a little, his tail flicking to the door as if asking him to leave. Cayenne nodded and quickly left the room. Once the cafeteria was empty, Vegeta let go of Gohan's arm as said boy slowly turned to face him, though his head was bowed and his eyes looked intently at a speck of dirt on his boot.

"You are Burdock's grandchild, look at me when we speak." Vegeta ordered, but Gohan still kept his face and his gaze hidden.

The scent of nervousness began to get strong as Gohan's tail curled tightly over his leg. Vegeta smirked at the shyness of the Iompróir before he gently cupped his face and made him look up.

"I have a gift for you. It's not much..." he said picking up the box and opening it to show him it was an assortment of sweets.

Gohan blushed as he looked at the tasty looking sweets, subconsciously licking his lips. Vegeta smirked and picked one up and held it to Gohan's lips. Gohan blushed even more as he slowly parted his lips and Vegeta slipped the petite four into his mouth. Gohan closed his eyes as he moaned with a happy smile on his face, it was a spicy sweet, something so unlike Earth's chocolates and candies.

"I see you like it."

"Yes... your highness..." Gohan said a small blush filling his cheeks as he smiled at him.

Vegeta smirked as he closed the box and placed it into Gohan's hands before he turned to leave, but as he did so, he brushed his tail over Gohan's tail and called over his shoulder.

"I will be seeing you around, my sweet Iompróir..."
