Finding Love (Vegeta x Goku)

Back Home

"Alright, everyone. We're about to enter the atmosphere, so either sit down and strap yourselves in or risk being slung around the cabin. Thank you for flying with us on Air Bardock." The eldest saiyan drawled out as he switched the ship off autopilot.

The prince help settled the submissive down on a chair just off to the side of Bardock's pilot seat so he could have a good view of the screen while they maneuvered the ship into its private dock.

Goku was quivering in the seat next to his mate as he saw the port on Vegetasei appear on the view screen on Bardock's ship. The beta's dark eyes immediately locked on to the group of people by the entrance of the dock, and an excited whine came from his throat.

"Easy, Kakarot," Bardock said with a chuckle. "I know the fractures are mostly healed, but you could still break them again if you don't settle down. A few weeks isn't going to take care of everything."

In a fit of childishness, the beta stuck his tongue out at his father while pulling one of his lower eyelids down. The look the older alpha got behind his back from his son made Gohan and Vegeta snicker, but Goku did his best to settle down in his seat.

"Put that tongue back in your mouth, brat, or I'll pull it out," Bardock said without looking back at Goku. He fought a smile as he tried to stabilize the decent of the ship. It made him feel relieved to know that Kakarot was slowly becoming playful like his old self.

Goku made a silent eep and complied. The submissive furrowed his brow at how his father knew that he was making a face at him, but he didn't want to risk doing it again. He knew Bardock would do it too. After a rather bumpy decent, Bardock eased the ship into the dock.

"You could've taken out the side of the building while you were at it, Bardock." Vegeta sneered at the older saiyan as he righted himself in his seat.

"Fine! The next time, you can drive." The pilot unbuckled himself from the seat. "You're lucky I can actually fly a ship at all!"

"I can certainly do a better job than you, that's for sure!" The prince huffed as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Gohan helped his father out of the chair while the older alphas bickered back and forth. The teen looked up when the beta lightly touched his arm, and frowned once he saw the slightly nervous look.

"Don't worry, Dad." Gohan reassured the older man with a smile. "They have been doing that the whole time we've been gone. I think they need some time apart to be honest. I'm not sure I can take that another day."

Goku smiled at his oldest son's words. When he looked over at the others, he could almost see lightening sparking between the alphas as they glared at each other. The submissive came up beside his mate and wrapped his hands around one of the prince's arms.

As soon as Vegeta looked down, he let out a whine and tilted his head towards the door of the ship. He blinked and snapped himself back to the present.

"Right, sorry. Let's go, Karo."

Goku held tightly to Vegeta as they left the ship. The beta was trembling in a mix of excitement and unsteadiness from the increased gravity and his injuries from the less than comfortable landing. Goku didn't quite have his "land legs" back after over a month in space. Vegeta tried to carry him, but he wanted to walk; and they didn't have the heart to force him to do anything.

"Tama!" Goten and Trunks screamed as they ran to the beta. Goku sobbed as he smiled and knelt gathering them in his arms. He pulled them close and buried his face in their hair as he cried in happiness. The boys cried clinging to him.

"We missed you, Tama."

Goku nuzzled the boys with a soft whine as the cubs clung to him tightly. 'I missed you so much, boys. I thought about you every day.' He thought, never wanting to let go of his babies. He couldn't help himself as he tried to hold the pair tighter to him.
