As he dozed off he began thinking of the last two years.
*Two Years Ago, Goten's POV*
Goten couldn't believe he had the option to spend more time with Bulla without Trunks constantly bothering them.
He had made her laugh over a mistake in reading the equation. He watched her laugh. Her blue eyes sparkled and her face was a soft pink. She had grown up to be a beautiful young woman. Was it wrong for a 24 year old to be in love with a 16 year old? Probably. Could he be in trouble in public if people found out? Most likely. But he wasn't worried about them. He was worried about Trunks and Vegeta. They would kill him if they knew. Or maybe they already knew but just didnt say anything. When they finished her homework she scooted closer to him.
Why did you offer to tutor me? Mom's a genius she could have done it."
"I know. But I thought maybe I wouldn't push you as hard. Plus I like your company."
"Why?"
"Well you're funny, you're sweet, I've known you since you were born, and well..." He blushed, looking away and rubbing the back of his head like Kakarot does when he's embarrassed. "You're very beautiful Bulla.."
Bulla's eyes widened.
"Oh!" Bulla blushed. "T-Thank you Goten."
Goten shot a look at Vegeta asking for permission to kiss Bulla and Vegeta smirked and nodded yes.
His eyes lit up and he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. He couldn't believe it. He was actually kissing Bulla. As he thought about her soft lips he heard "Hey Geets what ya-GOTEN!"
Goten jumped and pulled away, blushing. "H-Hey dad.."
"What are you doing?!"
Vegeta stood up and started to usher his dad inside. "Hush Kakarot. We'll go inside and train with Trunks." He turned around and looked at Goten sternly. "Goten behave with her. Kissing is fine but that better be it."
Goten nodded, his face matching Bulla's red outfit.
"Oh Kami." Goten said, putting his face in his hands. "Well that's not how I wanted that to happen."
Bulla giggled. "But it did happen. Will you do it again now that we're alone Goten?"
He smiled and kissed her again. She cuddled up to him and closed her eyes. They talked for a bit about what exactly they thought of each other then Goten stood up. "Well I need to go face both Trunks and my dad."
Bulla nodded. "I'm gonna go tell mom!" She said with a squeal and ran inside. Goten laughed. She was also so happy and carefree. He walked inside and to the training room, knocking on the door. Vegeta opened the door. "Hey guys can I train too?"
"Of course." He said, letting Goten inside.
"Thanks Vegeta. Hey Trunks?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm sure you heard. And I came to train with you so you can blow off some anger.."
"I'm not angry. I'm irritated but not angry. Dad called it earlier. Your dad took it harder than me."
Goten blushed and looked to his dad. "I asked Vegeta first.."
"He told me. But can you imagine walking in on that, knowing Vegeta is her father and he's very protective of her? I thought he could have killed you."
"But I'd never do it without asking! I definitely don't want to die."
His dad nodded.
Trunks and Goten trained for a little while then they all walked out.
"Mama was daddy really a bad guy when he first arrived?" They heard Bulla ask Bulma.
Goten sighed. He knew where this conversation would go. And sure enough he was right. The look of distraught and pain on Bulla's face when Trunks said that Vegeta had died by Frieza's hand was heartbreaking. Trunks explained why as Bulla held onto his arm. She loved Trunks so much. They were the closet pair of siblings he'd ever seen. "But Goku always pays attention.. what was he doing?"
"He was saving Goten.." Everyone looked to Goten and he grimaced. Oh how he didn't want to have this conversation with her.
She looked over to him with wide tear filled eyes. "Frieza.." He looked away. He didn't want to tell her this.
