Understanding Lineage DBZ ((RikkaTag x Akiravadel)) 18+

[RikkaTag]

"Mm... it is muCh more binding than marriage. It is to feel pain to stray from your mate or to harm your mate." Vegeta touched his own mark and shivered. He wasn't sure about he way things would pan out, but he guessed it was a little late for that now. "Right now, it is just a mental discomfort. Soon it will be an emotional discomfort."

 

Goten frowned as he eyed Trunks' mark. He could feel the silverette, as his father mentioned. He stepped closer to the purple haired teen and dropped his forehead on the other's shoulder. "I can feel you. It's like you are inside my head."

[akiravadel]

//I don't view it as a discomfort,// Goku looked at Vegeta as he spoke mentally to him. //It's rather nice to be able to talk to you this way without the others making fun of me.// He played a little more dumb around his friends than he led on. He was smarter than they realized. He did a lot of that because he was so powerful, he didn't want them afraid of him.

 

Trunks wrapped his arms around Goten feeling the pull of wanting the bond, "how much do you feel? Am I hurting you?" He wasn't sure jumping into this was a good idea.

[RikkaTag]

'I didn't mean the bond.' Vegeta sighed as he looked up at Goku and eyed him. 'I was referring to the emptiness your son is feeling.' The prince looked to Bulma and coughed. "Perhaps we should all take a breather while you sort things out. Any questions, just ask."

 

"I can feel you reaching out to me. Kind of like stroking my mind." Goten wrapped his arms around Trunks' waist and breathed in deeply as he reached out to the other mentally. He was trying so hard to get through, but the emptiness just grew. "I feel... I feel like there is a hole inside me..."

[akiravadel]

Goku sighed softly, //we shouldn't push it. They are young still.// He looked over to Bulma and smiled. "Right food! Lets go get you something nice to eat." He took Vegeta's hand in his and stood up wanting to lead him down to the kitchen.

 

Trunks shuddered feeling Goten press into his mind but he couldn't press back, "G-Goten... t-that hurts..." He took a couple sharp intakes of air feeling the pressure rising. How could being linked mentally like that feel so wild?

[RikkaTag]

'They concern me.' Vegeta let Goku pull him along and shook his head at the taller's eagerness. Mention food and the big oaf was focused on eating only. He stared at the back of Goku's head and sighed. He wished there was more he could say. Instead he squeezed the other's hand. "Everyone, eat. It is well past time for food."

 

Goten immediately pulled back mentally and frowned. He didn't want to hurt the other teen. He Bit his bottom lip and raised his head. "I'm sorry, Trunks. I... I just wanted you to feel what I was feeling."

[akiravadel]

Bulma didn't know what all they were talking about or when their son's were hugging but decided to ask later. She had chicken noodle soup, salad, bread, fruits and pasta on the table. She'd made a lot of it since Goku could bankrupt a house with his eating habits, but it was easier food for Vegeta to keep down.

 

Goku felt his unease through the bond and turned to Vegeta, //I know you're worried but please tell me things. I know I can get distracted and... be bull headed but please talk to me, okay?// He gently squeezed Vegeta's hand.

 

"I'm sure that I will bond with you, Goten. I just need some time to process all this, okay?" Trunks brought his hands down to Goten's waist and gently rubbed his thumb over his hip. He hated to see his friend upset but this was a lot to take in so suddenly.

[RikkaTag]

Vegeta took a deep breath and focused on relaxing before he met Goku's eyes. He wanted it to be easier, but he also wanted to scream as he normally did. 'I am trying. It is not normal for me.'

 

"It's okay, Trunks. I don't want to pressure you." Goten stepped back from the silverette and smiled at him. "Let's go eat." The brunette held his hand out to Trunks and waited for him.

[akiravadel]

"This isn't normal for me either," Goku took a deep breath showing Vegeta that he was focusing too. "We're both out of our normal comfort zones. We'll figure it out. For now you eat."

 

Trunks felt his heart flutter that time and it wasn't because of a bond. At least that kind. Taking Goten's hand he giggled as he ran forward from the room tugging Goten along with him.

[RikkaTag]

Vegeta nodded and turned to the table. He looked over the food and frowned. "I want something sweet. Can you fetch some syrup for me?" He moved towards the table and had a seat.

 

Goten smiled and gripped the silverette's hand tightly. Decided quickly that he had made the right decision. He planned to follow this through, no matter the consequences. "Trunks... I love you."

[akiravadel]

Goku went to go grab it for him and Bulma leaned in, "you might be craving it but that doesn't mean it's a good idea. You might make yourself sick." Goku set down the bottle for him and went to grab himself a water from the fridge and another for Vegeta.

 

Trunks wasn't sure he heard him right. Stopping in his tracks he turned to the slightly taller raven, "what?" He could already feel his face heating up.

[RikkaTag]

"Just a little bit won't hurt. Besides, my body should know what it can handle." Vegeta sighed as he looked at the food in front of him. He didn't want plain food. He grabbed the syrup and dumped a fair amount on his plate before adding food to it. "If I throw up, I'll let you decide my diet."

 

Goten stared at Trunks, not breaking their gazes. He was lost for words for a moment, before he realized he was just staring. "Ah... um... I.... I love you."

[akiravadel]

"Fair enough," Bulma guessed third time was the charm. She went back to the office to keep researching the data she'd got from him. They could continue with more writing later.

 

Goku sat with him but was eating a bit of pasta. The fish from before was about half of what he normally ate so he was still hungry, "After this, I'm gonna go train for a bit." He wasn't sure if Vegeta would want to join him or not.

 

Trunks stood there, not moving or breathing for a long moment then too in a sharp breath, "I um... I don't know what to say with all this right now so um... lets go eat and sort things out..." He kept Goten's hand and walked into the kitchen. He didn't want to reject him, in fact it made him happy but it was all so sudden.

[RikkaTag]

Vegeta grabbed a fork and started wolfing down the food on his plate. He listened for a moment before frowning and lookimg up at Goku. "You are just leaving? You don't plan on being here for me or your baby? Is training the only thing you care about?"

 

Goten shook his head and laughed as he was pulled along by the other. "I never said you had to respond." The brunette was about to say more but froze at hearing the silverette's father. "Uh... oh... he is mad again."

[akiravadel]

Goku coughed a couple times before clearing his throat, "What? No, I am I'm just saying I was wanting to go train outside for a little bit..." He thought he did good with taking care of him. Getting him meals and everything.

 

Trunks stopped in the doorway, "maybe we should go somewhere else?" He turned to Goten and shrugged. "My dads having a weird day." He didn't want to be around when the fighting started all over again. It could get interesting with their impressive strength.

[RikkaTag]

"You did not! You want to get away from me!" Vegeta stood abruptly and glared at Goku. To think he was so happy a second ago. "You were like this with Chichi too! I'm not some human you can just run out on! My kid will not suffer like Gohan did!"

 

"Perhaps that is a good idea. Maybe we can go somewhere nice in town." Goten grinned as he quickly headed away from the kitchen. He really preferred not being in the middle of that again.

[akiravadel]

Goku was floored then suddenly slammed his hand down on the table cracking it as the rage came back. He stood towering over Vegeta as he looked down at him, "I never said I was leaving! Just going outside to train for a little while! I've waited on you hand and foot all morning!"

 

Trunks was quickly headed away too until he heard the rage in Goku's voice he'd never heard before. It sent chills up his spine. Sure Vegeta was scary when he yelled but that was a normal every day thing. Goku's on the other hand wasn't, "...is that... your dad?"

[RikkaTag]

Vegeta glared harshly at Goku and growled. He was furious and he wasn't entirely sure why. Stepping up to the man, he ground his teeth. "Don't yell at me! You are the one trying to leave! You are sick of me! I knew it!"

 

"I... I think we better leave... now.." Goten was about to pull Trunks for the door before he remembered something. "Crap... your dad! He could get hurt! Or the baby... we have to get him away from my dad!" He headed back for the kitchen with one goal in mind. He knew he would have to be the distraction. He could try calming his father, but the chance was slim.

[akiravadel]

Sparks of yellow electricity sparked off his form, "Why not you're always yelling at me! I just wanted to stretch my LEGS!" He flared right into super saiyan 2, his tail going gold as well. His mind was starting to fog over with this strange rage he'd never felt before. Sure he'd been angry but this was blinding, to where even his mind was shutting down from Vegeta's.

 

Trunks ran back and watched the two in shock, "Guys... c-mon lets think about this for a moment, okay?" He raised his hands to make himself appear less threatening. "Please don't harm each other."

[RikkaTag]

"Just admit you want nothing to do with our baby!" Vegeta was about to shove the Saiyan, but stopped and looked to Trunks. Something in him twinge with pain. He could forsee his son getting hurt and that didn't sit well in his gut. He moved forward to protect the purple haired teen.

 

Goten moved forward and stood between Goku and the other two. He swallowed his fear and went super Saiyan as he held his fists down at his side. "Father.... this isn't you. You aren't angry. You are hurt. You have to come back to yourself and breathe."

[akiravadel]

Trunks slowly walked up and grabbed Vegeta's arm, "don't push him, father. That's not safe for any of us." He started to back up a little and pulled Vegeta back away from Goku. "Somethings not right..."

 

It took a moment for Goku's eyes to focus on Goten and dilated slightly, "this isn't your fight, Goten." At least he was still coherent. His fists raised up towards his defensive fighting stance as he glared at his son. More sparks came off his body as the rage from Vegeta flared his own emotions. He wasn't used to feeling rage since he usually had a gentle nature so he didn't know what to do with it.

[RikkaTag]

"Trunks..." Vegeta frowned at his son and looked back at Goku a moment before dropping his head. He rested a hand on his stomach and chewed his lip. He hated this. He could feel tears start to trickle down his cheeks. "Trunks... It isn't safe for you here."

 

Goten shook his head and glared back at his dad as he got in his own defensive position. "Not a chance, dad. I know you can control this. You can't hurt Vegeta. If you do, you will hurt your baby and that will eat you up inside." The younger Saiyan was ready to stand his ground as he faced the last person he ever thought he'd have to fight. He didn't want to do this, but he knew he had to. "If you want a fight, then fight me."

[akiravadel]

Trunks looked at his father, "you said you're bonded right and can feel each other! Goku's not one to be angry-" He reached up touching his fathers face trying to wipe the tears away.

 

Goku glanced past Goten and saw this. A piece of himself knew he couldn't harm them, he wouldn't let himself. Bringing both fists up he grit his teeth, "I'm not going to hurt any of you!" His mind put the barriers to keep Vegeta from with mind without realizing it and then fists came down in the blink of an eye one his thigh cracking his bone there. Screaming in agony his super saiyan form fell away as he slumped to the floor.

 

He swore to protect everyone and that meant his family no matter what. Hissing in pain he rolled on the floor feeling the mental anguish of the cut off from Vegeta but also the pain in his leg.

[RikkaTag]

Vegeta frowned and sadly looked up at Trunks. He wasn't sure where the other was going with this. He was about to say something when he heard the crack. He spun around quickly and rushed to Goku's side. He sniffled as his tears started up again. He pulled the Saiyan to his chest and murmured apologies.

 

Goten frowned and came out of super Saiyan as he watche'd the two adults. It was as if the two only suffered. He didn't like to see either in such an unknown state. His hands relaxed at his sides and he wondered if this was what a bond meant.

 

Vegeta reached hesitantly out for Goku's mind, feeling the barrier between them. It left him feeling raw and in pain. "K-Kakarat..."

[akiravadel]

Goku groaned in pain and held onto Vegeta's arm as he was held close it him. Being thrown into a bond while being pregnant was a hard situation. Heightened emotions without time to adjust to each others mind was making it very hard on the two of them. If they hadn't become pregnant the adjustment wouldn't be nearly as bad. Taking some shaky breaths Goku gently rubbed Vegeta's arm trying to comfort him, "I'm sorry... we just need a minute... I'm sorry... I didn't want to hurt you or anyone... I love you so much... I'm not going to hurt you..." One of his arms slipped behind Vegeta to rub his back. "It's okay... I'm not angry anymore."

 

Trunks' heart was pounding in his chest to what he'd just witnessed. If they couldn't handle a bond, how could they even dream of it?... Standing there he watched the two strongest people he knew either crying in pain or physically in pain. This was a mess.

 

Bulma came back in, "What the hell are you all doing to my kitchen?!"

[RikkaTag]

"I hate what this is doing to us..." Vegeta sniffled and hugged the taller Saiyan. He wished he had control, but the pregnancy was causin mass confusion in his brain and it made things seem so much more extreme. He could recall his brother and his mate going through similar moodswings. Their's had been more stable, but they had bonded well before they ever had a developing fetus. The prince took a deep breath and shuddered. "This... this is so much worse... why?"

 

Goten frowned as he stepped back from the group slowly. He couldn't imagine ever being so angry at Trunks. He didn't want to imagine being so angry. "I... I should leave..."
