Part Two: Accepting the Inevitable
Rather than retreat to the solitude of his room, Raditz returns to the chair he'd been occupying since Vegeta and Kakarot had been placed in bed. Looking at the two males, he realizes that he had no choice BUT to accept this. He wasn't happy...in fact, he felt worse than he had in a long time but...for the sake of his family he would sacrifice everything. He'd done it once before. How hard could it be to accept a lifetime of servitude to a male who would probably be WORSE than his previous partners only for the fact that he couldn't get rid of this one? He doesn't even bother searching for an answer because he doesn't really want to know. 'When it rains...it pours,' he thinks in annoyance. He wished things would calm down and remain that way without spinning him so hard that he felt like his world was never going to right itself.
Somehow, Raditz manages to fall asleep in the chair. The thought of what he would have to do emotionally wearing him out. It doesn't make him feel any better when he wakes up stiff and sore. 'It's a good as any of a way to start out hell,' he thinks as he slowly stretches. At that moment, he hears the door open and watches the King and Bardock enter. “You slept in here?” his father asks.
“It helped...put things in perspective,” he answers simply, “Besides, I didn't really want to be alone with my thoughts.”
“I would have it any other way than this, son, you know that.”
“I do,” Raditz replies, “I still don't have to like it.”
“Of course not.”
Raditz knew how badly his father felt about this and crosses to him before hugging him tightly. “Don't worry about me, father, I will be alright.”
“Will you?”
“I have become VERY good at adapting to bad situations.”
“This was never a situation that should have been yours in the first place.”
Raditz snorts. “Oh, I agree with that...but apparently you're just good at making people hate you.”
“Am I going to have to apologize to you again?”
“No. It was a joke...but I don't envy either of you trying to explain to Kakarot and Vegeta why Broly is now a member of the family.”
The king sighs. “That will definitely be a fun conversation...besides that, we still have to tell Paragus.”
“Well, that's YOUR job,” Bardock tells him, “You're the one who decided that this was the best way to keep both sides happy.”
“If there was another way...”
“Stop, BOTH of you,” Raditz interrupts, “It doesn't matter how we got here...we're here.” He has no intention of listening to them bicker. It wouldn't change the facts as they were and he is not up to playing referee. He was going to have enough of a problem once he was finally mated to Broly. Actually it was going to be more of a problem but he was trying not to think about that right at the moment. It wouldn't help him get through the ceremony. At this point, he wasn't sure what WOULD.
“Alright, son,” Bardock tells him. Raditz knew why his father was agreeing so easily. The older warrior understood what he was going through. He wasn't about to add to his stress.
“Thank you. Now, I am going to go and shower and get ready. Don't make me wait too long to do this because then I WILL refuse.” He doesn't give either a chance to reply before he walks out of the room and heads for the privacy of his bathing chambers. If he was going to have an emotional break-down, he wanted no one to have to witness it.
He tries NOT to think about it as he strips and steps under the water. However, in the silence of the room, it's all he can focus on. Leaning his head against the shower wall, Raditz can only wonder how badly this was going to end and is NOT optimistic. Running his fingers through his long tresses, he silently pleads for the strength to get through the ceremony without panicking and dooming his race.
Knowing that the longer he took the more he was going to listen to reason, he cuts the shower short and forces himself out and into a clean pair of spandex pants and a shirt. He's pulling on his boots when the door is opened. “So soon?” he asks quietly.
“Paragus and Broly are here...and the king wants to finish this now,” Bardock tells him.
“Of course.”
“Raditz, if you do not want to do this...”
“It's not about whether or not I want to,” Raditz interrupts, “There is no other way to settle this debt. I just...I wish Paragus didn't blame so much on you.”
“You aren't the only one.”
He manages a smile for his father's sake but they both knew how false and forced it was. Pulling on his armor, he schools his expression to a stoic mask and follows his father to the throne room. Bardock stops him at the door. “Are you sure you want to go through this, son?”
Raditz looks at the door that separated him from a lifetime of servitude to a male no one could control. “No,” he says quietly, “No, I do not WANT to do this, father, but I HAVE to.”
Bardock pulls him to him in a tight hug. “I am proud of you, son, never doubt that. I wish that this wasn't happening more than anyone on this planet.”
Raditz accepts the embrace and the apology. “I don't blame this on you, father...I blame no one but Paragus. However, there is no point in wishing things were different. You're going to have enough issues once you tell my brothers.”
Bardock grimaces. “They will be furious.”
“Oh, I know.”
Looking at the door, the long haired Saiyan knows it can't be put off any longer as much as he would like it to be otherwise. With great reluctance, he has the door slide open and steps into the room. It takes all his will power to walk up to the stairs leading to the throne. He kneels at the bottom. “Can I ask why Bardock's eldest is here?” comes the arrogant voice of Paragus.
“Raditz has agreed to settle the score between you and his father. He's agreed to become your son's mate.”
Hearing it said aloud makes the situation more real for the kneeling Saiyan and he could only hope that this would be enough to keep them all from finding out just what Broly was capable of. However, Paragus speaks, “I do not think so. I am not going to...”
“Father, shut up.”
Raditz's head rises hearing Paragus interrupted and watches Broly walk into view. “Broly...”
“No, father,” the male replies as he walks until he's a few steps above Raditz looking down at him, “I do believe I LIKEthis solution.”
“But...”
“No, father, enough. Let it end here. I am sick and tired of dealing with your petty annoyances. I want this.”
“I want Bardock to suffer!” Paragus snaps at him.
Raditz watches Broly's lip curve into a cruel sneer and knows things are about to get ugly though even he isn't prepared for the male's question. “And you think he won't fearing what I can and WILL do to his eldest son?”
It takes all of Raditz's self-control not to shiver at the sneering tone. Apparently, he'd underestimated just what this bastard was capable of and he was about to be his mate. “Perhaps, I underestimated you, my son,” Paragus says after a moment before chuckling, “Very well, Broly, I have no complaints then.”
“Son of Bardock, do you accept this?” King Vegeta asks.
For a moment, Raditz is tempted to refuse but then he thinks of his family, his brothers, and the planet and manages a nod. “Y-yes, Sire,” he manages to respond when he really wants to just run screaming from the room.
“Then rise and come to me, Raditz.”
Knowing that he would regret this, the long-haired Saiyan does as bade and is soon standing before the throne only a few inches away from Broly. Struggling to keep his body from trembling, he tries to focus on getting through this whole fiasco without either running for his life or fainting both of which would be considered serious signs of weakness in him. He has no intent of showing ANY to the male he was about to have to spend the rest of his life with.
The ceremony goes by WAY too fast for Raditz's liking but he knows that even if it took three hours, it would be too soon. “I hope this satisfies the issues between us, Paragus,” Bardock says in as calm a tone he can muster.
Paragus chuckles softly but doesn't respond to him before turning towards Raditz and saying, “I pity you, you know. My son hasn't quite gotten the hang of his ascension yet and in times of high emotions...he can't help spilling to his full power.”
Raditz tries and fails to hide how horrified that thought makes him. Seeing his look Paragus laughs heartily. “Ah, vengence certainly IS mine.” The long-haired Saiyan is pretty sure that he's right, too. The thought of having sex with Broly and having him ascend made his stomach want to try and make a quick exit out his mouth. He turns away from Paragus in an attempt to steady himself and instead finds himself gazing back towards the doors. His eyes widen as he sees the two figures standing there gazing at the throne hostilely.
“Oh no,” he hears Bardock groan softly.
“Kakarot, Vegeta, go back to bed,” Raditz says as he gets to the stairs.
“What is going on?” Vegeta demands.
“Nothing you are going to like. Go back to bed.”
“You know better than to order me to do anything, Raditz.”
“I don't care about your issues with your rank right now,” he replies irritably, “I am telling both you and Kakarot to go and lie back down. You are in NO condition to be up and about yet.”
“Why are Paragus and his son here? I thought they left,” Kakarot says leaning against the wall.
“They came back,” Raditz says shortly, “Look, go and lie back down. Once you are both in better health, we'll explain this whole damn mess to you but for now...just do as you are TOLD!”
“Not until you tell me what is going on,” Vegeta replies.
“Prince, don't be like this today,” Raditz says softly, “Please, Vegeta. Let it go.”
“He is right,” the king says as he heads for them, “You both need your rest.”
“Not before I know what you've made my brother agree to,” Kakarot says stubbornly. Gods, this was NOT what he needed on top of everything but he knew there was no other choice.
“I've taken Broly as my mate,” he finally admits.
“You did...WHAT?” both chorus.
Raditz sighs. “I took Broly as my mate. Honestly, you both have near-perfect hearing.”
“WHY?” Kakarot demands.
“Because I did.”
“LIAR! You wouldn't choose him!” Kakarot accuses, “Not willingly.”
'Really?' Raditz thinks in annoyance though he doesn't let this show. “Kakarot, please, just leave my choices alone.”
“I don't believe that this was your choice...and they promised, they PROMISED, big brother, NOT to ask this of you!”
“It could not be helped,” he answers.
“How could it NOT be helped?” Kakarot demands.
A moment later, Raditz trembles feeling the energy pouring from behind him. He knew if he turned, he would see his mate fully ascended and doesn't even need to see the horror etched on both his brothers' faces. However those expressions just cement his knowledge that he had done the ONLY thing that could save them. “Broly, please,” he says softly, “I think they understand the issue quite clearly.” Gods above, how was he supposed to endure being alone with this male?
