Chapter 18

It had been a couple of days since Vegeta had confessed to Bulma about dating Goku. It was a surprise for Goku as he knew it wasn't something Vegeta felt comfortable to be open about. The two spent their day off work at the gym, before heading back home cuddling up on the sofa. Not being able to openly hug his boyfriend out in public was difficult, nonetheless he respected Vegeta's feelings. Goku chewed on his inside lip as he glanced down observing Vegeta's serene face, his eyes half lidded fighting to close. If Vegeta was able to open up to Bulma, perhaps he'd be able open up to other family members. Goku sighed contemplating on how he'd even start up such conversation, he didn't want to push Vegeta out his comfort zone as such. He brushed his fingers along Vegeta's arm that was wrapped around his waist.

"So, now that Bulma knows, perhaps we could tell my parents?" he winced anticipating Vegeta to flail his arms in some form of protest.He felt sudden lightness from around him as Vegeta pulled himself up and glanced at him. "I mean, I could invite them over for dinner and-" he was silenced by Vegeta's scowl.

"Sure, why don't we go ahead and make banners too, as well as inviting over every Tom, Dick,and Harry over. We can make it like an annual event whilst we are at it!"

Goku furrowed his brows and puffed out his cheeks, "look, they wouldn't judge they are supportive. But if you are not ready to say then that's okay too."

"Then why even suggest it?!" he scoffed and stormed towards the kitchen.

Goku pursed his lips and briskly followed Vegeta into the kitchen, he paused by the door frame watching Vegeta making himself a drink. "Vegeta," he sighed as Vegeta slammed his cup down on the kitchen worktop. "I'm sorry, I just thought tha-"

"You thought what?! just because I reluctantly told my step sister about us, that I'd be comfortable to tell everyone else?"

"Vegeta-" he sighed slowly looming closer to him, "What is the worst that you think would possibly happen if they did know?"

Vegeta shrugged with a small mirthless laugh, "I don't know," he admitted as his eyes started to water, he pushed Goku back as he tried to comfort him. "Either way, they certainly won't be impressed to know their son is dating someone who bullied them in school. I remember all those times our parents were called into the office because of me. And as much as I wish for people to move on from all that, I know they would struggle to, I know you have."

"Honestly, they aren't ones to hold a grudge, you are thinking too much into it. I understand that's your anxieties talking and-"

"Whatever,"

"And, I think we should invite them over, they already know about my breakup, they will have some questions. The fact that you had opened up to Bulma is amazing and a step in the right direction, don't you think?"

Vegeta pressed his lips together refraining from saying anything negative, he knew he wasn't thinking rational his anxieties took over all that. He focused his attention back on his cup, "are you wanting a drink of anything?" he asked whilst his back was facing Goku.

Goku drew in a sharp breath as he stepped forward pressing himself against Vegeta's back. His hands rested lovingly on top of Vegeta's shoulders, "you know I love you right?" he felt Vegeta tense up, "I wouldn't force you into a situation you didn't feel comfortable in, I'm just suggesting allowing my parents over for dinner. Who knows, you may feel comfortable to say something, if not that's fine and I will support you what ever decision," he leaned forward and planted feather like kisses down the side Vegeta's neck.

Vegeta bit his lip whilst closing his eyes, his skin prickled feeling Goku's warm breath brush against his neck with the soft delicate kisses, his body trembled at the sensation.
