Vegeta stared at the man he’d sent sprawling across the bed. He remembered the night of the function, he’d had an absolutely miserable evening. That was the evening, too, when Kuro had begun to fade, and the mannequin began taking over. Recently? He frowned, then realized when it must have been - the day Goten had slit his wrists again. That was when he’d begun acting like a trained monkey. And that first time… he’d been afraid the man would die before he made it back from Korin’s Tower with the senzu. Even then… there had been a change. He’d been more obedient, though not entirely slavish.
“You told me it was your fault, that first time.”
“I thought it was.” Kuroichi slipped from the bed, crawled to Vegeta, his tail between his legs. “I had gone out, and I was beaten as soon as I stepped through the door to my room. You confined me to it… I thought you’d beaten me because I’d left without telling you I was going, or making sure it was acceptable to leave, that you’d gotten done training early and were angry that I wasn’t there.”
Vegeta closed his eyes. I thought I had changed. I have always been proud, arrogant, but I thought I was no longer considered evil or cruel. He practically considers me the way I considered Frieza! Have I not taken care of him enough? Not shown him how I love him? I have never told him, but… I thought I could show him! Am I truly so evil, and cruel, even now, that I am still just like Frieza? Almost without realizing it, Vegeta dropped to his knees, pulling Kuroichi forward, stroking the wayward spikes, trying to soothe them both.
“That was not me,” he whispered. “I have beaten you only once since you have lived with me - after you treated Goten the way I have always treated my son. I did not want you to be like me. I love you.”
The trembling body he cradled suddenly stilled. Thickly-lashed black eyes lifted to meet his own, shock, amazement, and hope shining in them. His tongue darted to wet lush lips, lips that tried and failed several times in forming the words that followed. “You love me, Vegeta?”
A slight tinge of pink lit dusky features. “Yes, baka. I love you.” He dropped his head to capture the lips of the other man, a kiss eagerly returned. He nearly sighed with relief, his Kuro was back. He broke the kiss, smiled when Kuroichi made a little noise of protest. “Ah, pet, we have a problem. Someone beat you. We need to know who. I’m going to kill him.”
“Kill him later. Kiss me now.” Kuroichi reached up, pulling Vegeta down.
“Our dads are here,” Goten said quietly.
“I can feel them.” Trunks’ voice was a bit strained.
“Are you still mad at my dad, Trunks? I know why he did what he did, haven’t I done practically the same thing, living one life for my mom and another with you?” he added hastily, catching his lover’s scowl. “Self-mutilation, begging to be dominated, needing someone else to need us for something… even if all we were needed for was sex.”
Long purple hair fell around the well-built form of the older demi as he stopped in midair. “Is… is that…?”
Goten stopped as well, not looking back at his lover. “I do love you, Trunks. I’ve loved you ever since we were kids. We’ve been together 27 years, more or less. I put on an act for my mother, dating around, making her think that I didn’t have a brain in my head as far as relationships went. I knew she wouldn’t approve of my love for you. But you were my only lover. For 27 years, you’ve been my only lover. I know you can’t say the same. I lost count of how many times we’d meet, and you smelled of sex with someone else. But I loved you, Trunks, and I was loyal. Even though… even though my heart broke, even though I thought you didn’t love me the same way.
“I let myself be used. And every time you came to me, with someone else’s scent on you, I died a little more. You’ve seen my scars, Trunks. I put them there when I was sixteen. And every so often, I’d reopen them. I had to feel a different kind of pain to be sure I really was alive. I’d watch the blood run, bright red, proof I really did exist and I wasn’t just dreaming, having a nightmare. Proof that… that I was as worthless as I believed.”
“Goten…”
“When my dad left to train Uub, I was abandoned again. I only had him for those few years, but we got so close. We were so alike, and not just how we looked. I could see past his smile, Trunks. I could see the pain he hid, I could see it, and I understood it. Because I was just like him. I was hiding myself behind a happy mask, pretending everything was alright. And finding ways, painful ones, to prove we weren’t stuck in a nightmare.”
Goten sighed, turned to face his lover. The older demi’s head was bowed, shoulders shaking. He watched a tear drop fall toward the ground. “I know you beat my father, Trunks. You promised me you wouldn’t, and then you nearly killed him. He would have died if Vegeta hadn’t gotten that senzu bean. And I know you beat him at least one other time, I saw the marks where you’d hit him. I don’t want to have to choose between you, Trunks. I love you both, so much. I’d rather die than have to make that choice. Please, are you still mad at my daddy?”
“No. Gods, Goten, I’m so sorry!” Trunks threw himself at the younger demi, crying. “Please, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt you like that. I didn’t know I was.” He wrapped his younger lover in a tight embrace. “Please forgive me?”
“Yes.” Goten ran his fingers through the silken purple hair. “Of course.”
“Goten?” Trunks whispered against his neck, where he’d pressed his shoulder. “It was three times, Goten. When he first got here, I hit him, too. I thought… I recognized his chi signature, I thought he was… I’m not sure. I hit him, to get him away from my father… Mom was still alive, and my father was… was… it was just too much, and I hit him. Father had to put him in the med bay. I hadn’t know about the chi binders he was wearing, and I hurt him really bad, nearly killed him then, too. I’m sorry.”
“I knew about that one, too. But I didn’t think you knew he was my dad then.” Goten pressed his lips to his lover’s forehead, a brief caress. “It’s okay, lover.” The tears shimmering in his eyes pooled, running in rivulets down his cheeks. “But we all have new lives now, with each other. Let’s… go make the most of it, hey?” His hand cupped Trunks’ rear, fingers giving him a quick pinch.
“Let’s.”

1207 words! Yea! I finally got this chapter done… I’ve only been working on it forever. Now… *sits back to ponder* do I want to do the Chi-Chi dies of apoxoly (can’t spell it and my spell checker only tells me apology) scene, the Chi-Chi gets over it and turns to Yamcha for support scene *looks at that idea and has a sudden, evil urge*, the Chi-Chi invades Capsule Corp. in search of husband & son scene, a double lime (you know it can’t be a proper lemon on ff.net!) *examines that idea with a bit of interest*, or should I just skip to Vegeta finds out Trunks nearly killed his lover that first time? Or… do I need a scene where we get clues about who did the shower and Vegeta’s room beatings… OOOOOOH! Drat. The possibilities, the possibilities. Whatever shall I do? Besides take about 3 weeks to update, that is?
Vegeta: You could stop writing the story.
Jewel: What for?
Vegeta: Because I don’t want to be Kakarot’s lover.
Goku: Why? Aren’t I good?
Vegeta & Jewel: *groan*
Vegeta: *ignoring Kakarot’s idiocy* And because I don’t want my son with his spawn.
Goku: Hey! That’s not nice, Vegeta! And they love each other.
Vegeta: About as much as we love each other, baka.
Goku: You love me? Awwww, ‘Geta, and I never knew! *glomps Vegeta*
Vegeta: ARRRGGGGGGHHHHHH! Get off me you fool! *shoves Kakarot away from him* I do not love you and I will never love you.
Goku: *looks disappointed* Oh… okay. I’ll… leave then. *walks away dispiritedly*
Jewel: *blinks*
Vegeta: *stares after him, mouth agape. Turns to Jewel*
Jewel: It wasn’t me!
Vegeta: *returns to uncertain, bewildered staring. Starts muttering under his breath* Didn’t mean what I thought he said. Didn’t mean what it sounded like. Nononononono… can’t possibly… can he? *louder* I’m going to go get drunk now.
Jewel: Yeah. Have a few for me.
