Finding Love (Vegeta x Goku)

Goten and Trunks

It was late when Goten climbed so he could look at the pale form on the bed with in worry and fear. He crawled on the large mattress to sit beside Goku's shoulder, and he reached out with one of his hands to touch the space over the beta's heart to make sure he was still alive. Feeling the strong muscle beat under his fingertips brought some comfort to the cub, but not much.

His father was still unconscious from the day before, and it was making everyone anxious. The doctors said it was due to a massive amount of stress, but he should be fine as soon as he wakes up. Unfortunately, the submissive continued to sleep, and even the doctors were watching him with poorly hidden concern.

The cub shifted a bit closer to Kakarot, and moved his hand to check on his younger sibling. Thankfully, everything looked to be alright with the baby. Goten smiled when he felt the tiny form move a bit inside his father, and he gave a gentle pat to the beta's belly.

A grumbling snore brought the boy's attention to the other figures in the room. Wide eyes were quick to look around the room with surprise written all over him. Bardock, Raditz, and Gohan were all asleep in various chairs in the room. The only reason Goten was up at this time of night was because he was so worried for his dad that he couldn't sleep.

Bardock had insisted that Kakarot was to be placed in the beta's rooms that had just been repaired from the fight between Bardock and Vegeta, and no one argued. None of Kakarot's family members had left his side as he slept, but they were not the only saiyans to keep a close watch over the vulnerable man.

Tarble, Vegeta, and Trunks were camped out in the sitting room on large sofas. All three of them had been quick to follow Bardock in alarm after the alpha had scooped up his son after the medics confirmed that it was safe to move Kakarot.

Vegeta was so afraid for his mate when he collapsed. The younger dominant was snapping at Raditz as soon as they saw each other. He had to almost fight with the long haired alpha to get to just stay, but in the end, Bardock allowed the former prince to remain as long as he didn't cause trouble.

Goten laid down next to his father, and tucked his head under the submissive's chin. The cub fisted a tiny hand over the massive chest so he could feel the continuous beating of Goku's heart. His eyes burned as tears threatened to slip free, and he bit his lip to muffle any noises that he might make.

"Daddy, you need to wake up," The demi-saiyan whispered in the prone beta's ear. "Please be okay. I miss you." Goten buried his face in the loose light blue shirt that Goku had been changed in sometime by Bardock. The soft fabric soon became damp with the boy's tears as he shook like a leaf. Muffled sobbing was soon heard in the dark room.

Trunks mumbled sleepily as he rubbed an eye. The lavender haired boy slowly padded back to his couch from Goten's room after a midnight bathroom break, but a sound soon had him pausing. He blearily looked around for the source before his blue eyes landed on the cracked door leading to Goku's bedroom.

A little more awake, the cub looked hesitant at the door unsure of what to do. Trunks looked at his father and uncle, but both were still sleeping with worn out looks on their faces. The boy's tail flicked around behind him as he looked back at the door. He decided to check things out before waking anyone up.

Trunks quietly walked over to the door, and peered into the room, but nothing seemed out of place. The beta was still sleeping as were the alphas in the room, but he could still hear that muffled noise. Finally, his eyes spot a quivering form on the bed next to the Kakarot. He pushed the door wider to get a better look.

Goten was huddled as close as he could be to his father as he softly cried his eyes out. His small hands were holding tightly to the submissive's shirt, and his black, quivering tail was curled behind him around his body. The black haired boy didn't noticed Trunks looking at him from the slightly open doorway.
