Bound to you.

News.

The restaurant was lively from the ambience of jazz music to the chattering of people sat down enjoying their meals. Vegeta kept glancing back at Goku who was sat opposite, he smiled each time Goku would look back at him. He loved moments like this, the spontaneous days out; where he could focus all his attention on his boyfriend. Whenever Goku would look back at him, he felt his adrenaline rounding into a kind of sloshy, Elysian joy. When he didn't think it was even possible to love someone more than he already did, those subtle glances always prove otherwise. Goku wasn't just his boyfriend, he was his best friend, his soul mate, and he couldn't imagine his life without him. After finishing their meal, they took a stroll alongside the river Thames, the calming water reflected the lights from the street lights, and the lit up buildings casting a water painting along the peaceful river. Fingers entwined, keeping that tight bond between them, as they continued to walk along the pathway. They stopped midway looking over at the London eye that shone blue luminous light, they leaned over the railing taking in the captivating view.

"I actually prefer staring out at the city at night, just seems more colourful and welcoming." Vegeta confessed and looked back over at Goku who too seemed mesmerised at the scenery.

Goku smiled and wrapped his arm around Vegeta. "I suppose we should head back home."

"I guess we should, we've been out for a couple of hours, best make sure my brother hasn't forgotten to feed the dog." He grinned leaning his head on Goku's shoulder.

They headed back home, loving glances, kisses, and words in between. They opened the front door feeling refreshed from their date night, they froze seeing Bulma stood in the kitchen holding onto a pregnancy test with Tarble stood next to her. They were stood in shock, Goku furrowed his brows as he took his coat off not breaking eye contact.

"Is everything okay?" Goku asked with concern as he observed both their shocked faces.

Vegeta grinned staring back at the two, he leaned against one of the counters whilst folding his arms. "I think they are just in shock, babe." He directed at Goku whilst keeping his eye contact on the shocked pair.

Tarble cleared his throat stepping forward, he could see Bulma was unable to articulate a response. "We are...well...she's pregnant."

Vegeta raised his brows at his friend with a grin, he recalled how she was adamant she would never be one of those who'd fall pregnant unexpectedly. "Congrats." 

"I-I don't even know anything about babies, I don't know how I'm gonna cope." her voice trembled whilst she kept her concentration on the pregnancy test.

Tarble grabbed the test from Bulma's hands placing it on top of the wrapper on the counter, he held onto her hands causing her to look back at him. "I'm here, I told you I'm going to stay and help every step of the way."

"I can't do this, I don't what I'm going to do." she frowned, shock flooding through her system. 

Goku sighed exchanging looks with Vegeta, he looked back at Bulma. "You aren't going to be alone, we will all be here to support you."

"That's easier for you all to say." she gave them a half hearten smile.

Vegeta raised his brow at her. "Tch, you had me move to London, like fuck am I going anywhere now." 

"I need some fresh air." She gave them all a slight smile, and quickly ran out the kitchen.

Vegeta held out his hand stopping his brother from following, for as long as he knew Bulma he knew in these circumstances it was best leaving her be. "She'll be fine, just give her a few minutes to herself."

Whilst Bulma stood outside on the balcony, the men sat on the sofa, there was an awkward silence between them unsure what would be the right thing to say next. Goku sighed and leaned in towards Tarble who was glancing down at the floor.

"You going to tell your father?" he noticed how both Tarble and Vegeta, both snapped their heads up staring at him in shock. "I know you both haven't talked to him in a while, I don't blame you; I don't think much of him either. I'm just thinking he may like to know?"

"So he can boast the fact that least one of his sons isn't gay?" Vegeta pulled a face at Goku, he still held a grudge against his dad. He looked over at Tarble who frowned, he too couldn't forgive their father for how he abandoned Vegeta, at the same time he was close to his father.

"Vegeta, who gives a fuck what he thinks or says? I was only asking if your brother will tell your father or not. He can boast till the cows come home, is that going to change you?" Goku sighed as he scooted closer to Vegeta wrapping an arm around him. 

Tarble glanced back at Bulma stood outside, he looked back at his brother and smiled. "I don't want him involved in any of our lives, I hate how he treated you."

"no." Vegeta leaned back on the sofa, he stared up at the ceiling letting out a sigh. "Don't let my situation with our father prevent you from telling him, if that's what you want to do." he looked back at his brother seeing him pull a face.

"You know, he didn't even call after we were attacked? he can't pretend he didn't know because it was all over the news. Nah.." Tarble frowned, he smiled as Jack walked up to him for a pet. "I'm good."

Goku looked over seeing Bulma still stood outside, he looked back at Vegeta and Tarble who were laughing about their childhood. He tapped Vegeta on the leg to excuse himself and planted a kiss on Vegeta's lips before heading into the kitchen. Goku poured a glass of water and headed outside holding out the glass to Bulma. "Hey." he smiled.

Bulma returned the smile as she took the glass from him."Thanks."

"You know, you are more than welcome to stay here with us." he smiled looking back at his partner still talking with his brother.

Bulma looked back in same direction as Goku, she smiled watching the two laughing together. "It's nice seeing them like that, after what had happened to them."

"I know, it's been some hard few months." he smiled and looked back at Bulma. "You are still welcome to stay here though, don't ever think you'll be going through this alone. We are all here for you."

Bulma took a sip of water keeping her eye on Tarble. "I'm sorry if we crashed your date night." 

"You didn't, it's fine." 

She smiled at Goku and handed him back the glass of water. "Thank you again." She turned around seeing Tarble stood by the door way, she inhaled deeply and held out her hand guiding him to join her outside. 

Goku walked past the couple as they had a heart to heart, he glanced back at Vegeta who was petting their dog.  

Vegeta looked over at the balcony seeing his brother and Bulma making out, he raised a brow back at Goku. "so didn't see that happening." he grinned over at Goku.

"I know, what a shocker." he chuckled as he headed towards the kitchen to place the glass down in the kitchen.

Vegeta glanced down at the now sleeping dog, he looked back seeing his brother and Bulma stood staring outside in a loving embrace. He smiled subconsciously as he started to think how his life would be like, if he settled down with his soul mate; perhaps some point having his own family with Goku.
