Goten hurried to the door, opened it to prevent whoever was there from beating it down. “Vegeta… hi.” He stepped aside, allowing the prince and his consort to enter.
“Goten…” His father started to reach a hand out, let it fall. “Goten… I… If I had known…”
“You would have given up your happiness.” Goten shook his head. “I’m fine, Kuroichi. Things just… didn’t work out the way I’d hoped, is all.”
“We’ve come to get you.”
Goten turned to face Vegeta. “To get me? Why?”
“Why, because this is no situation for you to be in. Why now, because it took me longer than I had expected to find us a place.” Vegeta paced into the room. “Where is your mother?”
“She… she’s taking a nap right now.”
“A nap?” Kuroichi asked, startled. “She doesn’t take naps.”
“She’s taken naps every afternoon for the last three years,” Goten told him.
“Well, if she’s not awake, I see no reason to wake her. Get your things, boy, and let’s go.”
Goten was shaking his head before Vegeta finished his sentence. “I’m not going anywhere. This is my home, I’m staying here.”
“But, Goten…” Kuroichi spread his hands. “You can’t want… you can’t want to live the life I left? What about your own life? What about making up with Trunks? Don’t you want to do that? He loves you… I know he’s hurt you, but…”
“Kuroichi.” Goten’s interruption was quiet. “Kuro, please. No. I… I’ve had time to think, these last few weeks. Trunks… used me. He never loved me, I can see that now. I can see it, looking back. He was just using me, the way those men were using you when Vegeta found you. For their own gratification, not caring if they hurt you or if you liked what they did.”
Kuroichi’s eyes widened. He reeled back, one hand reaching to grasp the doorframe. Vegeta moved quickly, suddenly there to support the taller Saiyan. Sharp black eyes bored into Goten’s. “You’re sure, boy?”
Goten licked his lips, pain-filled eyes averting from Vegeta’s as he nodded. “I can’t doubt it, Vegeta. I tried to call… but our number is blocked. When he finished with me that morning… he’d gotten all he wanted.”
“But why stay here?” Kuroichi whispered. “Is what your mother does so much better?”
He remembered, belatedly, the phone call. “You and my mother didn’t have much of a relationship,” he said quietly. “There is less to deal with. If all you came for was to take me away, there was no need. I am not leaving.”
Vegeta assessed the situation quickly. “Come, Kuro. He is old enough to choose.”
Goten watched as Vegeta took his still-protesting father away, disappearing into the clouds. He turned from the door slowly, shutting it carefully. Walking back to the kitchen, he continued with making supper. His mother would be awake soon, and he wanted it ready when she woke. But again, he was interrupted. A knock, which he set down the spoon to go answer, was followed by a cheery, “Anyone home?”
“Gohan!” Goten flew across the kitchen to the front door. “Gohan, you finally came!”
His brother laughed. “Well, I can’t very well stay gone forever, can I? Where’s Mom?”
“She’s taking a nap. Gohan, I’m really worried about her! She…” He wasn’t allowed to finish.
“Goten, she’s old. Sure she takes a nap now, she probably taking them off and on all day. It’s nothing for you to worry about.”
“But Gohan…”
“Hey, little bro, relax. I just thought I’d pop in and say hi.”
“But…” Gohan was already turning to the door, getting ready to leave.
“I’ll come back after awhile when she’s up.” He was gone.
Goten yanked the door open, but his brother hadn’t wasted any time getting to his own house. Videl was being swung around and around. He sighed, shutting the door again. His return to the kitchen was a little slower. “He said he’d come back…”
But when he called an hour later, when his mother was awake, Gohan had already gone back to the city, and Videl was packing to join him. Gohan had gotten them a house there. He dropped the phone back into the cradle. “He said he’d come back…”
“Goku? Did someone call?”
“Uh, telemarketer. I told them to take us off their list.”
“Did you make supper?” She was looking at the table he’d set.
“Yeah, I thought I’d surprise you.”
“Well, I certainly am! I didn’t know you could cook!” She settled into one of the chairs, he dished out some of what he’d made, then waited. “Oh! This is good. Goku, I’m so proud of you!”
“Thanks.” Relieved, he settled to his own seat. Last time he’d made a meal, she’d thrown it on the floor, declaring it worse than pig slop. He’d spent over an hour cleaning up the mess, and another hour cleaning up what she did to the kitchen.
“Goku, I’ve been thinking…”
“Huh? About what?”
“Maybe it’s time we had a little girl.”
“Vegeta! We have to go get him!” Kuroichi whirled to face his lover. “I can’t leave him there!”
“KURO!” Vegeta snapped. “That’s enough! The boy made his choice, same as you did.”
“You took me out.”
“I paid you to come with me,” Vegeta corrected. “You chose to accept my offer.”
Kuroichi stopped, feeling as if he’d just been kicked. He’d forgotten. Forgotten that Vegeta still put money into an account for him each week. Forgotten that he was nothing more than a street whore, hired out in a master/slave scenario. Forgotten that his rent was paid automatically each month, that he still had the little apartment in Paradise City.
He’d forgotten his true place in playing the role, in the exuberant excitement of finding out Vegeta loved him. Being reminded… hurt. His angry gaze dropped. “You’re right. I… have things I need to do.” He retreated quickly to the kitchen - it was time for him to prepare his master’s meal. Kuroichi laid what he needed out quickly, shaking as he realized just how truly he had become what he played at being.
Vegeta stood at the kitchen door, watching. He saw the tears form, to be batted away, and frowned. Goku and Kuroichi have melded - Kuro was never so emotional. But why is he cry… oh. Of course… Wait, he told me he did not want me to free him. The pieces clicked into place. “Kuroichi?”
“Yes?”
“You’re fired.”
“What?!” Kuroichi whirled, the pot he held falling from his hands.
