Could this Be Love (TurlesxGoku Fanfic)

The Date

I woke up the next morning and looked around my room. I didn't remember much of what had happened last night, except for the fact that Turles has asked me to go on a date with him and I said yes. I sat up in my bed and rubbed my eyes. I wasn't sure how to tell my parents, especially because I wasn't sure how they'd react to me dating again. I forced myself to get out of my bed and I slowly moved over to my dresser. I went through my drawers and pulled out a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a white t-shirt that showed off my chest a little bit. Once I was pleased with my outfit, I made my way downstairs to look for my mother. I found him sitting in my dad's armchair, reading a book. I took a deep breath and walked over to him. When he heard me coming, he glanced up from his book and smiled at me.

"Hey son. How are you feeling?" He asked in a cheerful tone.

"I'm doing a lot better, mom." I replied, smiling at his happiness.

"Is there something on your mind, Kaka?" He tilted his head and sat his book down on the coffee table and returned his attention to me.

"Well mom...there was something I wanted to ask you if you aren't too busy." I admitted, glancing down at my feet.

"I'm never too busy for you, honey! Sit down and let's talk." He motioned toward the couch and I sat down, crossing my legs. "What's on your mind?" He reached over and took my hand, squeezing it slightly.

"Well...I'm not sure how you and daddy are going to feel about this, but I got asked to go on a date tonight at seven, and I was wondering if that was okay." I hoped it would be because I had already told Turles yes. My mother looked at me and we were silent for a minute, but then he chuckled a little.

"Oh honey! You're finally going to go on a date? With who! You must tell me who the lucky man is!" My mother sounded completely excited and ended up on the couch next to me.

"Well...it's Turles...the guy who helped find me a few months ago..." I looked down a bit to hide the blush on my cheeks.

"Turles? Really!? He's a fine young man! Oh Kaka honey, I see no problem with you going on a date tonight with him, and I'm sure your father will feel the same way!" He hugged me tightly and I returned his hug. I heard the front door open, and heard my father muttering to himself. I must have slept until noon, because he was always back home at this time for lunch.

"Bardock! Come here, honey! I have some news about Kakarot!" My mother rushed to the front door and grabbed my father by the arm, dragging him back to the living room.

"Some news huh?" My father asked, looking over at me. "What kind of news, Kakarot?"

"Well...I um..." I looked down at the floor. I didn't know why I was so afraid to tell my father about this date, but it was probably because I was afraid he was going to be angry at me.

"Come on honey. Your father will understand." My mom urged, walking over and placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Okay..." I looked up at my father, and managed to put on a small smile, "Daddy...I have a date tonight at seven...with Turles..."

"Is he the young man who helped us rescue you?" My father asked as he came over and crouched down in front of me.

"Yes sir..." I whispered softly. My father placed a strong hand on my other shoulder which caused me to look up into his eyes. He was smiling...a real smile that my mother and I hadn't seen in forever.
