BETROTHED: A CHIBI LOVE STORY
By: Lokikat
Bulma was at the stove cooking lunch quietly humming and tasting the sauce for spice when Trunks walked into the kitchen and sat at the table to doddle she asked him casually. "Trunks when is your father coming out?"
"He's not" He replied as he finished putting rabbit ears on Piccolo. Bulma grew angry at this.
"Oh and why not?!"
"He said you were a stupid female who wouldn't know how to treat her man if he told her face to face so he wouldn't grace you with his presence." the boy said using his best Vejita voice which was pretty good for a ten year old.
"Oh really? That jerk! I make one comment about a vasectomy and he acts like I'm a psycho wife" She shook her head.
"What's a vasectomy mama?" Trunks asked innocently as he was served a steamy plate of noodles.
Bulma was caught off guard it was a direct question."Um its something men can do after their married so their wives don't get pregnant," she explained.
"Oh so dad still wants to have babies with you?" He asked as he ate.
"Maybe. You see I never know what's going on in that man's head. Mystic bonds my ass."
Trunks seemed satisfied then said "Well that's why I'm glad I'm marrying Goten. I always know what's going on in his head"
"Aw that's so...WHAT did you say? Marry?" The shocked woman asked the seemingly calm boy drinking his chocolate milk.
"Yeah when me and Goten grow up we're going to get married. I thought I told you this." He said as if it were nothing.
"Trunks what are you talking about? Start at the beginning. How did this um marriage business happen" *please not be what I think it is* she prayed.
"Well" Trunks thought "It happened about two years ago" a small smile graced his young face, which made his mother even more nervous.
"Okay 1,2,3,GO!"Goten said as slammed his forehead into Trunks' and pushed hard. After spending the day watching Animal Planet the two demi-saiyjins had decided to make like bighorns and butt heads. The resounding thunk that resulted attracted a dominant female and Chichi after dishing out severe scolding sent the little rams to bed without their supper.
"She's not that bad I mean she cooks better than your mom,"Goten said.
"I'll agree with you on that but how could your dad stand her?"
"Hey my mom is nice to me and Gohan she says your a bad influnce."The younger retorted.
"You didn't answer my question nimrod. How did your parents get together?"
Goten blushed "Oh yeah that's one of my favorite stories that mom tells me! You see dad's grampa, well adopted grampa, was best friends with mom's dad."
"So?" Said a bored Trunks.
"Shut up Trunks-kun I'm getting to the best part! Anyway grampa Myou, because he liked dad's grampa so much, decided to send dad to help mom on a big adventure when they were kids like us. They fought a lot and played with each other and became great friends. Mom liked being with dad so much and thought he was so cool she asked him to marry her so they could be together all the time and dad said yes. When they were all grown up they got married and were very happy. THE END." he finished
"That's cool Go-chan. Marrige sounds great," replied the eight year old on the other side of the bed.
"Yeah but mom says you're only supposed to marry someone you known for long time and really like and likes you back." Goten said "Oh and it helps if they're rich too, so they can take care of you."
Trunks thought for a moment. He didn't like the idea of Goten having a more important friend than him and Goten seemed to like the idea of marriage. He couldn't lose Goten who would he spar with? He made up his mind. "Then why don't we get married?" he asked the younger demi-saiyjin.
"What?" Goten was not sure he heard him.
"I said nimrod why don't we get married when we grow up?"
"Oh" Goten said. Trunks fit the bill all right he liked him they'd known each other as long as they could remember and he was super rich. Plus Goten couldn't think of anyone he would rather marry. "Okay!"
"Really! You promise?" Trunks asked.
"Yeah! This going to be great no mommies to stop us from fighting and just you and me forever." Goten said exitedly.
"Alright its a deal" Trunks yawned "Goodnight Go-Chan" he bent and kissed his chubby cheek.
"Goodnight Trunks-kun." Turning off the light the two demi-saiyjins fell into a peaceful sleep as betrothed.
"So what's the big deal?" asked Trunks as if it were nothing.
"What's the big deal? You're engaged to Son-kun's son that's the big deal!" Bulma said exasperated. "You can't just surprise me like this. Do you have any idea what you've done?"
The ten year old leaned against the counter and started peeling a banana. "Yeah I've made sure Goten and me stay together forever. What's wrong with that?" he said getting a little angry with his mother.
Bulma on the other hand was hysterical. "Oh nothing. Just that my only son who hasn't even gone on a date yet has decided to already propose to his best friend and hasn't even told his mother about it."
Now Trunks was angry. Why was his mother trying to ruin this for him and Goten? "Hey me and Goten date all the time you and his mom set us up at first when we were babies" Trunks said smugly.
"Those were play dates Trunks. There different from real dates" she shook her head. "What am I talking about your too young to date much less get married and I thought you were bright for your age." she laughed at the silliness of the situation. "Don't worry son I'm sure you and Goten meet someone you really want to marry when you're older."
Trunks finished his banana and glared at his now calm mother. He had the same look on his face he had whenever he didn't get his way. His angry prince face. "I don't think you understand mom I don't want anybody else I promised to marry Goten" he said in a deadly quiet voice. Then he stamped off to the gravity room.
Bulma didn't understand how Trunks could have gotten so angry. Did he really plan to marry the younger Son? I mean really they were two little boys sure they were close but gay? No way. She had an open mind and all but she also wanted grandkids. Also what would Vejita think? Man she knew that fusion dance would have side effects. *Come on
Bulma think you're a genius find a way to fix this.* She picked up the telephone and dialed a familiar number. "Hello Chichi. We have a little problem."
One hour later at the Son residence.
"I am so glad you called me. Take a seat I'll get some tea." Chichi said opening the door.
Bulma was glad her friend was concerned too if they were going to get through this "Phase" they would need to work together. She sat down at the table and waited for the other woman. Chichi came in and poured the tea.
"Sugar?" she asked. Bulma shook her head. Chichi sat down opposite her. For a moment they were silent and Chichi had her head hung.
Softly the younger woman spoke. "I can't help thinking this is somehow my fault. I wanted to keep Goten innocent so I never got around to telling him about sex and marriage."
"I know what you mean and neither of them had much contact with other kids either," said the older.
"I thought that when the time came for Goten to start liking girls I would have told him but he's too young for this." Chichi said sipping her tea.
Bulma smiled "Exactly all we have to do is explain things to them and everything will turn out right"
"Exactly" Chichi agreed. It was time for the "TALK." It wouldn't be pretty but it had to be done. So they decided that tomorrow Bulma would bring Trunks over and they would sort this out.
Goten was confused, he was glad Trunks had come over but for some reason he was wearing his angry prince face. Wasn't his friend glad his mom had brought him over to spar? So like most things he didn't know he decided to ask his older counterpart. Trunks looked at Goten like he was an idiot.
"Goten you nimrod my mom brought me here so they could tell us why we can't get married. We'll be lucky if we ever get to play today." the pale prince said.
Goten made an angry sound and crossed his arms. He slipped on his pouty chibi Goku face.
"Okay. Gohan's Biology books, wedding album, and chocolates for sanity." Chichi said.
"Looks like we're all ready. I just hope its enough, Trunks was dead set on spending the rest of his life with your little boy. Can you imagine promising marriage at their age?" Bulma said incredulously.
Chichi gave her a look that could peel the other woman's skin off.
"Well that's alright. But if we ever want to have grandkids we better get started." the other woman said.
"Yeah lets go" And they walked into the kitchen where their sons were waiting.
"Okay." Bulma began "Sweetheart. You know how me and papa are married." The boy nodded. "And Krillin and 18 are married, and how Goten's parents are married." Another angry nod. "Well that's because usually only girls marry boys."
"Why's that?" Goten asked innocently.
"That's because only a boy and girl can have babies," Chichi said giving her son an open biology book, which Trunks grabbed and laid on the table. They both stared at the anatomy pictures showing the human reproductive system.
"You see the daddies sperm adds his genetic material to the woman's egg and the combine to make a zygote which grows in the mommy for nine months then comes out as a baby." Bulma explained.
The boys were silent for a moment. Then the pale haired prince spoke softly "So in order to have kids you need to combine your genetic material and you need a place for the baby to grow." the two mothers nodded happily "well if we ever want to have children I'll just have to find away for me and Goten to do that" he finished.
Both women fall anime style. Trunks picks up the book and starts to study it. "Seems easy enough all I have to do is combine me and Goten's DNA and make some kind of tank or an artificial sac to put in one of us. Hmm, cesarean section? That would work."
Chichi grew livid "you are not impregnating my son!" she screamed.
"Well that all depends. It might be me. I think we'll decide the same way as the dress" Trunks said matter of factly.
"What dress?" Bulma asked.
"The wedding dress!" Goten said happily "We have a fight and the loser has to were the dress since we both can't wear black tuxedoes. That would be silly."
Bulma burst with laughter at the thought of either of them in Chichi's white wedding dress.
"If you both don't want to were black tuxedoes. I'm sure Goten would look wonderful in his father's white one." Chichi said thoughtfully. Bulma elbowed her and she snapped out of it.
"Gee thanks mom wow" the boy got all starry eyed. "Me and trunks are gonna look cool!"
"Wait that's not what I meant you two cannot get married." Chichi said adamantly "Boys cannot get married"
"Wait a minute" Trunks said, "You said boys usually can't get married. You never said that there was no way we could get married."
"Well they can in Hawaii and Vermont." Bulma said getting an elbow from Chichi.
"You hear that Goten we're getting married in Hawaii" The elder boy said.
"YUM! Pineapples!" the younger exclaimed.
And the two started to talk amongst themselves.
"This isn't working" Bulma said to Chichi.
"I know" Chichi agreed
"We need to change our strategy" Bulma said, "Follow my lead"
The dark haired woman nodded. The boys were who having a grip contest had stopped paying attention to their mothers.
/What's the deal with our moms I thought they would be happy/Goten communicated telepathically to his best friend
/Yeah/ Trunks said back /I mean your dad and mine are sparring partners and have known each other for years and our moms are like best friends./
/Maybe they won't let us play together anymore/ the dark demi-saiyjin thought fearfully.
/don't worry Go-Chan if they pull a move like that we'll runaway into space and then no one can stop us from getting married/Trunks told his friend and ungripped his hand to stroke the back of the other boys hand with his thumb. Goten gave a weak smile.
"Boys" Bulma said getting the demi-saiyjins attention.
Trunks stared at his mother. She was up to something. He could tell because she was talking in the same high coaxing voice she used whenever she wanted something from papa.
/Keep your guard up/he warned his counterpart.
"Chichi and I have decided that you to can get married" she began. A smile sliced across Goten's face. "IF! You two can prove you're in love."
They looked at each other quizzically "Love?" Goten asked scratching his head "The way I love mommy and daddy?"
"No nimrod love like my mama and papa have" Trunks said.
"Yes so if you really love someone first you have to think that that person is attractive." Chichi said, "You know good looking"
The young warriors turned to stare at each other. For a minute they were silent studying the others features. Then Goten smiled and Trunks followed. "Trunks has pretty eyes like a crystal and his skin is sorta like a ripe acorn all smooth and brown." Goten remarked softly.
"And Goten's eyes are so black an dark that you could get lost in them and his lashes are so long they look like fans on his face. Also when he's flying and fighting backwards his hair frames his face really cool" Trunks commented.
"This is bad" Bulma whispered in Chichi's ear.
"It's not our fault our kids are buodoshins" Chichi whispered back.
"Yeah looks like they really do like each other that way but to make sure this isn't a mistake we better try something else." Bulma continued. "Okay now that you know that you like each other you have to show it."
"How do we do that?" Goten asked the blue haired woman.
"Simple" she said menacingly "You have to kiss. On the lips, for two minutes." she
Shrugged her shoulders "If you like it your in love. If you don't then you stay just friends. And that's that."
The two half saiyjins looked at each other and then at their mothers. They were telling them to go into unexplored territory. Trunks had seen his parents do it many times although never when they never knew he was watching. Could he do it? To stay with Goten? Yes he would! Goten turned to his friend and very cautiously closed his eyes and stuck out his lips. Trunks took a deep breath and placed his hands on the other boy's small shoulders. He took one last look at his mother. She was smirking at him with the other woman. He felt so nervous. Did they have to watch? Oh well now or never. The young prince closed his eyes and leaned in to place a gentle kiss on Goten's baby soft lips. Then Trunks withdrew. He looked at his mother to see she was still smirking and now Chichi was too.
*Darn it that wasn't two minutes* then he smirked *How does papa do it?*
Goten made a muffled sound as Trunks wrapped his arms around him and slid his tongue into his warm mouth. This wasn't like the other kiss. This was..Kinda fun realy. Trunks tasted like pancakes and he was starting to feel real warm inside. The little Son wrapped his arms around the other boy and started to use his tongue to stroke Trunks'.
The two women stared dumbfounded at the kissing saiyjins. It had been over two minutes. Neither of them spoke. Until Chichi said in a strained voice "Welcome to the family."
"Likewise" said Bulma.
The End
