Finding Love (Vegeta x Goku)

Unexpected Help

By now the three were a fair distance from the sounds of fighting. Raditz looked over at the fight, watching as an angered father beat his son's would be rapists into the ground. In a way, it was refreshing to watch his father take out pent up aggression on those that nearly traumatized the submissive standing next to him.

The taller man turned back to his brother once he was sure things would be fine without him. Seeing Goku again after the way things were left last time made the alpha very thankful. Although he knew it wasn't the appropriate time and place for this, the long haired warrior couldn't wait any longer to beseech his brother.

"Kakarot, I'm sorry about what I did to you all those years ago. I know now that I was wrong. I'm hoping we can talk about things later, but is there a chance that you will ever forgive me for my dishonorable actions?" The elder of the two bowed his head as he waited.

Goku shifted the weight of his son in his arms as he observed Raditz. The taller of the two really seemed to regret what he had done, and seemed resigned to not be given forgiveness. He was silent as he thought about things. This was what he had wished for, and he hoped he would run into his brother again. He never got to know his blood family, and now he had the chance to. In the end, his good nature made the decision for him.

"Yes, Raditz. I can forgive you. We will need to talk first, but I do want my brother in my life." The beta knew he said the right thing as he was enveloped in another hug. Goten squirmed as he was squished between the two. The shorter saiyan chuckled as he pulled back from his brother. "Sorry, son."

Raditz did a double take when he saw the cub. Sharp eyes took in all of the demi-saiyan's features before he glanced back over at the fight. He tilted his head before he let out a bark of laughter. Goku looked at the taller male in puzzlement as he shook his head. He gave his two companions a bemused smirk.

"Father's genetics are very strong it seems," was all he said before he was laughing again. Goku and Goten looked at each other in confusion before looking back at Raditz. He managed to compose himself enough to respond. "You'll see as soon as he gets done."

"Dad, who is he? He smells nice," the boy said as he pointed at the long haired saiyan. His big eyes looked at the new comer with an innocent curiosity that had Raditz's breath catching in his throat. Goku chuckled as he rubbed a hand through the wild spikes on his son's head.

"That would be your uncle, Raditz. He's my older brother, Goten." The beta responded, and the child looked back over at the other full blooded saiyan. A tiny tail wrapped around his father's arm as he studied his new uncle.

Just then, a grumbling could be heard accompanied by a set of stomping footsteps. The three looked over to see a saiyan with green and black armor in the same style as Vegeta wore except there were two green plates that went over the saiyan's outer thighs. A black tail was wrapped around his waist. He wore black spandex pants with red leg warmers over his boots. His arms were bare save for matching red arm warmers, and a red headband was tied around the saiyan's forehead.

Goku felt like he was looking into a mirror. The only difference was the scar on the other's left cheek, and the fiercer look on his face. The youngest full blood instantly knew this man was his father, and absentmindedly acknowledged his elder brother's words. The long haired saiyan put a hand on his shoulder.

"Kakarot, this is our father. Bardock." There was pride in Raditz's voice that made Goku curious. Goten clung to the submissive saiyan as the dominant came closer. He instinctively kept very still as sharp and slightly feral eyes roamed over his form. Goku wanted to ask his brother more, but the still angry look in his father's eyes made him hold his tongue.
