Reminisce
It has been a week and Vegeta is at least able to look him in the eye again so they have continued their routine training. Neither of them bring up what happened in the gravity room and Vegeta seems more hesitant than ever to have any kind of contact with the half Saiyan even if it is just an exchange of blows, but has at least kept his promise and built a precision and accuracy based program to better hone control and force.
I’m never going to get it out of him at this rate ...and how would I even bring it up?? Goten huffs to himself and is forced to follow through with the plan of action he did not want to pursue as he trains alone in the gravity room for the sixth day in a row.
Vegeta watches from a monitor in the labs to pinpoint weaknesses in his program. The brat is improving. Found his focus again. Maybe. Something has changed... and grudgingly, Vegeta admits it is a positive change. Goten has learned quickly brute force is not an option. A hit too hard triggers a very painful shock-wave instead of destruction. It is a difficult task, trying to disable them without destroying them. At first. After a couple hours he was getting the hang of it, especially since he knew the faster he beat the program the faster he’d get to fight something other than bots.
As Vegeta watches the increasingly perfect motions over the monitors he seethes with anger. He'd never let the damn brat know, but he couldn't deny it. Just like his father, Goten was a bottomless pit of Ki and talent and Vegeta hated it. He hated that Goten would sometimes skip weeks of training and show up late, usually hungover, only to perform flawless execution after flawless execution. It was only a matter of time before Goten surpassed him too and Gods, he hated it So. Much. Because Goten couldn't just be a naturally gifted idiot, no, he also had to be an insufferable pain in the ass too. In the end it all boiled down to him mostly just hating that it was Kakarot's son who turned out most Saiyan of their children.
He shuts off the monitors and storms out of Bulma's old lab towards the gravity chamber pissed off that the bots he spent hours figuring out how to re-program were going to be useless by days end.
There is no warning. Vegeta throws open the door with the full intention of disrupting Goten's training program in order to throw in a more difficult opponent but instead, he stops dead in the doorway.
Goten feels the loud and sporadic Ki all but crash through the gravity room. The pressure shuts off sending him straight to the floor with a thud. No need to announce yourself. He adjusts to finish the last droid then lands back to his feet without turning to face the intruder. He can't manage to wipe the smirk off his face yet. He knows by the deafening silence he has gotten the exact reaction he was hoping for.
When Goten turns, he almost regrets snapping the band out from his hair. He had done it as soon as he felt Vegeta's Ki move from the lab, knowing full well the full Saiyan intended to come here and upend this training program. He almost regrets it because for the first time since Bulma's death he sees Vegeta's normal scowl lost to something…. else.
Goten forces a familiar sarcastic smile, "Trying to catch me off guard again, huh?"
Vegeta's mouth is still slightly open in as much shock as his tight angry expressions can manage. "You-"
"Hm?" Goten tries to looked surprised. Like he didn't anticipate letting his hair loose would have this kind of effect. It did on everyone. But Oh if Vegeta hadn’t just given him the best reaction yet. What a difference a few years could make.
"You look just like-" Vegeta promised himself he would never say it again. He said it once and had regretted it immediatly. He was probably the only person who ever put in a conscious effort not to say it because he knew how much Goten hated it and he also hated reminding himself. It was hard enough to look at Goten normally and see the resemblence plain as day every day. But still, when was the last time I've seen him with his hair like that? six? seven years? He was just a boy, but now- 'Similar' didn't quite cut it. Chi Chi was right, they were damn near Identical. Until the brat opened his mouth to speak.
"Just like my father, I know." he rolls his eyes, "Trust me, I try not to look like an idiot, but training doesn't always let me." He throws the snapped band to the ground, "Now, are you here to fight or reminisce?"
Vegeta hesitantly takes a stance. The door closes. The pressure turns back on. And Goten smiles that odd smile he gets when he knows it'll be a bloodbath.
