Okay, the sixth chapter, six IS a bad number... Yup... And this six is gonna be BAD... *sigh* So, where do I begin...? Okay... Now we’re all on Vegeta’s side, right? We’re still on his side, am I correct on that? Yeah, that’s what I thought... I mean... Vegeta always has his reasons, doesn’t he? Goku seems to think so... And I think Vegeta’s gonna have a good enough explanation as to why he was ‘boinking’ Mr. Loco-Vegeta-Poser-Wannabe-Maniac dude. Well... All I have to say is “Read on to find out!” Oh and... GOOD LUCK!

**Just what am I going to tell everyone? They all hate me now... No one trusts me... Of course... I understand perfectly and I see no reason why they haven’t thrown me out of Capsule Corporations yet... But the worst thing about all of this is Kakarrot... Everything seemed like it was going downhill and it felt like nothing could make it worse-**

“Can I talk with you, Mister Vegeta?”

Vegeta looked up alertedly as Gohan silently walked into the kitchen, “... Sure... If it won’t destroy you...”

“Destroy me?” Gohan closed the door and locked it, he slowly walked over to the table and sat down across from Vegeta, setting his coffee down and looked at the Prince, “So... Umm... Mister Vegeta... Ehem!...!”

Vegeta looked back up at Gohan again, this time with a sorrowful look on his face, “Sorry... So what did you want to talk to me about?”

“What else?!” Gohan asked as he leaned in on the table a bit to get a closer look at Vegeta, he glanced down at his coffee and then settled down again, “Everyone is buzzing with rumors in the Capsule Corp. Mister Vegeta, you should be well aware of that. They’re all wondering and coming up with the things that you have or could have been doing behind our backs... Just like me; they feel... Betrayed-I-In a sense! ... And... And If I’m going to back you up on this I need to know everything... I can’t trust you until I fully understand your situation... Mister Vegeta?”

**Well at least someone is trying his hardest to trust me... Kakarrot didn’t even try to understand what was going on... He was out like a light bulb... Fainted because of my acts, so did Piccolo... And Bulma when she found out from Goten... As for Trunks... I’m not too sure; he ran off just after I had turned to him and the mention of my name... Kakarrot had started crying only moments ago after he had finally woken up... So I hope he’s feeling better than I am at this moment...**

Vegeta sighed as he nodded and looked at the kitchen door, “I know...” He began, “I do not need a lecture, Gohan... I well understand that no one, none of them out there, can trust me until what happens next happens... They’ll refuse to trust me until then because they’ll think I’m lying... It always happens that way...”

“I know... But the least you can do to slow them down a bit is tell me... Just exactly why were you messing with that creature?” Gohan asked, waited and sighed when Vegeta didn’t answer back, “Look, Mister Vegeta... Any reason good enough should be understandable... And no one else can come close to understanding the things I have... So go ahead, Mister Vegeta... What’s your excuse?”

Vegeta looked at Gohan and silently closed his eyes, “I...” He opened them finally and looked at Gohan’s coffee, “I was just trying to get answers...”

“Answers to what, Mister Vegeta?”

“Who his creator was? Where his creator is hiding? What they plan on doing in the next few months...”

Gohan’s eyes widened and he stood up, he walked around the table to Vegeta and sat down right beside him, “And, Mister Vegeta, Did you get the answers?”

“Yes...” Vegeta looked at Gohan , he sat back and stared at the first son of Goku with a frown on his face, “His creator is Dr. Gero... He’s hiding on the new Planet Namek... And he’s planning on another new android...”

“Are you sure the creature isn’t lying, Mister Vegeta?”

**I know he’s trying his hardest to understand everything that I’m telling him... But can’t he at least trust Saiyan Prince’s instinct? Humph... Well, I guess not... Oh, but he will soon enough, he’ll learn the hard way.**

Vegeta frowned and stood up, he crossed his arms and glared down at Gohan, “Just why do you think I was having sex with him? To see what it’s like with myself? Did you think that maybe I enjoyed it?!”

“I guess not... Mister Vegeta...” Gohan got up and grabbed his coffee, “Listen... I think you should try and stay away from everyone for now... They all might lynch you... Except Trunks and Goten...”

**So... My son is strong enough to come right back after he leaves... At least he has the smarts and intelligence for that... I hope he is okay... I hope he’s not thinking too bad of me... Maybe Son Gohan can answer that one for me...**

“Trunks...” Vegeta looked down, ashamed of himself, “How is he taking this?”

“Harshly...” Gohan put a hand on the older man’s shoulder, “He thought of you as his hero before... Now he doesn’t know what to think... Hopefully this all clears up soon, I’d hate to see such a beautiful boy depressed for the rest of his life and thinking stuff like this... I should really go talk to him, Mister Vegeta.”

Vegeta nodded his head, “Yeah... Thanks Gohan.”

“No problem, Mister Vegeta... I’ll come again and we can talk tomorrow morning, okay?”

“Sure...”

“Okay then... I’ll see you around, Mister Vegeta, and I hope the rest of the day works out for you.” Gohan patted Vegeta’s back lightly and then walked out of the room.

Vegeta watched as Gohan left and then sat back down in his seat.

***I’m so confused right now... It wasn’t suppose to happen like this... We weren’t suppose to find any thing like this happening between us... I just wish I could quit and give up my place to someone else... Someone who can do it a lot better than I can... Can we trust him anymore? Can I trust him?***

Goku put his head in his hands as he began to cry again, he threw his body back and laid on the bed for a moment, just crying and looking up at the roof, “Oh Kami... What do I do now?

Where does everything go from here?” He looked up as a knock on the door stabbed his sensitive ears, “Come in!”

The door opened on Trunks, the young lavender haired demi-saiyan walked in and closed the door, he leaned back against it and looked down at the floor and Goku began to hear small sobs coming from the young teenager.

***So what am I suppose to say? Shouldn’t he go to Vegeta for this kind of stuff... ?***

“Hey... Trunks? Goku asked as the teen tried to fight back his tears.

Trunks looked up at Goku, he walked over to the full-blooded Saiyan and sat beside him.

“Uhh...” Goku looked down at Trunks and frowned sadly, “Hey... Are you okay?”

“Goku...” Trunks looked forward and breathed in deeply, “It... It’s okay to cry isn’t it?” He asked and turned to the older man.

“Yeah... If you hold in your feelings you’re doubting who you are. It’s always good to just break down sometimes... But not too much...” Goku looked down at the floor, “You don’t want to seem like too much of a baby... Crying all of the time...”

“Sometimes I cry... Even though Father says it’s for the weak... I... I hear him crying... Sometimes... Too... I guessed it couldn’t be all that bad if he did it...” Trunks looked at Goku and sighed, “Do you think my Father did it... Because he hated me?”

***He couldn’t believe he was hearing this! ... Trunks thought Vegeta hated him! And he also thought Vegeta was with that... Creature... Because he hated Trunks, Vegeta would never do such a thing!***

Goku frowned and felt his hands clinch into fists, “Of course not Trunks... He probably has a very good reason for what he did today, but it was never because of you... Your Father loves you very much... And he’s proud of you...”

“That’s funny... You knew what I was talking about...” Trunks sat back on the bed and stared up at the roof, tears were running down his cheeks and his eyes were all puffy, “Do you really think he’s proud of me... He’s never said it before...”

“That doesn’t matter...” Goku sat back as well to look at Trunks in the eyes, “There is no question about it... Your Father has always been proud of you, and he always will, there’s no way you could ever make Vegeta think anything else of you, he loves you so much and he would do anything to make you happy...”

“Well...” Trunks looked down and blushed, “What would he say if I told him I was in love with Goten?”

Goku gasped and sat up in shock, “Really!?!? That’s amazing! That’s GREAT! I’m SO glad for you Trunks!! ... I mean...” He calmed down a bit and chuckled, “I think Vegeta would encourage you to tell Goten how you feel, and for the record... I think you should tell the both of them.”

Chi chi silently sat beside Gohan and watched the TV, “So... What was his excuse?”

“Gee mom, excuse? It’s hardly one of those, I think what Vegeta said made perfect sense to me, and if it was a---”

**They’re always talking about me... Why can they not talk about something else?**

Vegeta sighed sadly as he turned around and began his way up the stairs when he bumped into Trunks.

“Oh, hey dad... FATHER!?” Trunks looked at his father in shock and nodded, “Hi... Dad...”

“Hello Trunks...” Vegeta sighed at his son and was about to walk off when Trunks grabbed his arm and stopped him.

“Dad...” He began, “Lets talk okay... Can we get a drink?”

Vegeta turned and smiled at his son, “Why not?” He smiled even wider, “Okay... Lets go get a drink... Trunks.”

They both turned and headed off towards the kitchen.

Trunks sat at the table beside his father and sipped from his drink...

**T**What do I ask him first? I have the questions... But how do I put the first one into words? ... We both can’t just sit here this whole time; sipping from our drinks and finally when we’re finished walk of like nothing was going on to begin with... That happened every time before now... I don’t want this to be the same... I need to know what is going on... I need to be sure that I can trust my own father... What if he hates me for it? What will he think of me when he finds out that his own son has been in doubt of him from the start? Will he just toss it to the side, YESTERDAYS NEWS, like he does with everyone else’s problems?... But I really need him now... I need his support... ... So what do I say? ... I can’t just start it off with any question... So... What do I want to know?**T**

“So...”

Vegeta looked up at Trunks and smiled softly, “Y-yes son?”

Trunks cleared his voice and looked Vegeta in the eyes, “Umm... Are you a umm... Are you siding with the bad guys?”

“Never Trunks...” Vegeta frowned and took in a breath.

“Then what were you-“

“Just questions, Trunks, Just questions...” Vegeta said and sat back to get comfortable.

Trunks smiled at his Father and prepared for the next question, “W-What was going on between you and Son Goku? ... I mean... I heard most of it from Mother... But I want to hear all of it from you...”

“Kakarrot and I...” Vegeta looked at his son and leaned on the table a bit, “Trunks... Kakarrot and I... Well, not much is going to happen between Me and Kakarrot any more... But if you must know what happened... B-before... ?” Trunks nodded and Vegeta continued, “Well... We were umm... Me a-and Kakarrot... We kind of f-fell in love I guess... But neither of us were sure about it in the beginning... I guess we were a bit unsure of ourselves and it didn’t work out as well as we planned... Things happened and we grew sort of apart again... And...”

**What did happen after that? I guess we forgave each other and things seemed good up until...**

**T**He’s going to say something like... ‘They both finally knew what they wanted after a while of deep thinking’ isn’t he?**T**

“Well... I guess we finally knew what we wanted after a moment of deep thinking... We both... Wanted the same thing I guess... Which was each other and that’s the way it was gonna be, and then he wished back his wife without consorting with me first... I wouldn’t have had such a problem with it if she had known about us... I guess Kakarrot didn’t think of what would happen to us... And it hurt me... A lot...”

Trunks looked down sadly and thought for a moment, “Hey... Umm... Mom knew? Since when?”

Vegeta chuckled and took a sip of his Coke~Cola, “She had known before you were born... How I felt towards Kakarrot... She knew about our relationship since day one, always quick on things... She knows all of my feelings towards Kakarrot... How I have loved him since I was nine... He was one of the last Saiyans... He was Bardock’s Son... And Bardock was a very strong warrior... I just sort of... Fell for him I guess...”

Trunks smiled widely, “And when you finally saw him in person?”

**T**Let me guess Dad... He reached for your hand and touched your heart, huh? He held your heart in his hands... And you willingly let him do it... Just so you could watch... You gave him you’re loyalty and he gave you his friendship and back up... Because that is exactly how I feel about my Goten... He sort of... Strokes my heart with his eyes when he looks at me...**T**

“He stroked my heart with his eyes...” Vegeta chuckled and looked down, “He was the most... Beautiful thing I had ever seen... But things didn’t always work out the way I had wanted them to... I was a spoiled brat up until then and I wanted him for my own... But I had to learn the hard way that... You can never make some one love you the way you want them to... If I was gonna get it I knew I would have to fight and earn Kakarrot’s love... Every last bit of it... And it was very hard... Even now I still don’t have all of it... He may not think it sometimes but... He will always have mine... I just hope this whole thing ends soon and I can finally reside in peace with him...”

“Yeah...” Trunks sighed and looked down, “I was talking to him earlier and he sounds very confused of what to think of everything that’s been going on... I guess everyone is though...”

“Oh?” Vegeta looked at his cup and frowned thickly, “So... What do you think of it?”

“I don’t know what to think either... I want to be able to trust you, Father, as much as I can...” Trunks looked up at his father and frowned.

“I understand and respect that, Trunks...” Vegeta smiled, “You can at least give your Father a chance... Unlike some of the others... However I do not blame them... What I have done is not something to be proud of...”

**T**There it is... There is that word I’ve been waiting for... ‘Proud’; speaking of ‘Pride’... The one word I needed to kick the question out of my mouth... The word Father uses in almost every session of speaking... All I have to do now is say it... The question that has been eating me up for over half of my life... What does he think of me as his son? Is he embarrassed of me for what I have become? Proud... Is he proud of me? How long? Has he been proud of me? ‘Father, Are you proud of me?’ Say it Trunks! Say it now!**T**

Trunks nodded, sighed and looked down at his hands, “... Father... Umm... Not to... Shit... A-... Are you proud of me?”

Vegeta sat up slowly at the question and then looked some-what puzzled for the moment and finally returned to his self, “Trunks... Trun-“

“I’m sorry, Father, but I just can’t get it through my head!” Trunks sat up and looked down at his cup in embarrassment, “I’ve got to know...”

Vegeta looked at his son sadly and then stood up, he walked over to his son and put his hands on Trunks’ shoulders, “Trunks...”

Trunks slowly looked up at his Father, “... Please Dad...”

Vegeta put his hands in his son’s long lavender hair and pulled him close against his stomach, “Shush Son... I am very proud of you... Very proud...”
