Trust in Blind Faith-SDPG-SSM


I'm tired. Let me rephrase that, I'm beat! Goten has been a handful all week. He's totally frustrated with his situation and I don't blame him one bit. I'm sure if I were in his shoes I'd probably do the same thing. He won't go to physical therapy unless I'm with him now. I don't mind, really I don't. I'll do anything for him and he knows that now.

The doctors are talking about releasing him to go home sometime next week. I really think that will do some good for him. He'd be in familiar surroundings with his family and friends. He told me a few days ago that he was scared to go back home. I tried to reassure him that everything will be alright again, all he has to do is trust me.

He's sleeping in my arms right now. So peaceful. I could sit here and hold him forever if he'd let me. It just feels so right. We shared our first kiss late last night. I had left the hospital at my usual time. I grabbed some dinner before heading home for a hot shower and some sleep. I got a call at quarter after three in the morning. One of the nurses wanted me to come back down to the hospital because Goten was fighting with them again. I showed up fifteen minutes later in my cotton sleep pants and a ratty looking CC tee shirt and ready to go on a rampage with my Chibi for giving the nurses such a hard time. He looked like he was going to cry when I entered the room. I held him in my arms like I'm doing now, whispering to him that everything was going to be just fine and how much I loved him. That's when I got the nerve to kiss him. His lips were so soft, how I'd imagined they would be. It wasn't one of those full out kisses with tongues and stuff, but it was just enough to convey my love to him. I wish he could see me, just for a moment now. Just so he could see the love in my eyes for him.

"Trunks?" Damn, I didn't know he was awake. I smile and brush my knuckles down the smooth plane of his cheek.

"Yes Chibi?"

"Is it true that I'm going home next week?" He mumbled out, his eyes staring blankly ahead at the ugly beige wall.

"The doctors all agree that you're ready to leave. I'm sure the nurses will be glad to get rid of you." I chuckle and look down at him. He smiles to himself. He knows how big of a pain he's been to most of the hospital staff.

"What about you? Will you be glad to get rid of me?" My heart sinks. Where in the world did that come from?

"What are you talking about Goten? Why would I be glad to get rid of you?"

"Ano, I've been such a bother to everyone. You're missing school because of me."

"Son Goten! I don't want to hear you say that ever again. I could careless about school right now. You know what? I told my mother to fuck off this morning." I think he's more then stunned at my admission of telling my mother off like that.

"Oi, and I thought I was bad with the nurses. Why?"

"She keeps harping on me about school Chibi. I told her once, I've told her a thousand times that I wasn't going to attend school so far away with you like this. If I have to, I'll move out on my own."

"Please don't get your mother mad all because of me Trunks. She only wants the best for you, just like mom wants for me. You know she was talking about some school program she wants to enroll me in already."

"Oh?" No one has mentioned schooling for Goten. It hasn't been a whole month and ChiChi is checking out specialized schooling for her son?

"Yeah, I heard Mom and Dad talking about it early this morning before you came back. They thought I was still asleep, but I heard every word. She wants to send me away Trunks…" I wrap my arms tightly around him. No wonder he was in such a bad mood when I came back to the hospital. I went home to change my clothes. I couldn't sit around here in my sleep clothes now could I? I came into the room to see Goten pouting and his mother going on and on about something. I don't know what it was. Goku just gave me a small wave and said something about seeing my father. And of course that upset ChiChi that her husband had disappeared again. It took an hour to get that wretched woman out of Goten's room.

"Don't worry Chibi, I'll think of something." I stroke his face gently as I thought about options. There wasn't much I could really do, with him still being a minor in the care of his parents. I have money that I've been saving that not even my mother knows about that I could use to help him.

"Chibi? What would you say about moving in with me?"

"And live at Capsule Corp? I don't know Trunks. Your Dad doesn't like me much…"

"Goten, that is as far from the truth and you know it. He might yell, but that's just him though. Did you know he was here almost the whole first week you were here?"

"He was?" I nod my head and then quickly frowned. Damn I keep forgetting that he can't see much.

"Yeah, and I found out something about him too." Damn I just sounded like I was eight years old again with a huge secret.

"The great mysterious Vegeta has secrets?" There was a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Yeah, actually your brother and my Dad. I think you know…are a couple."

"No way!" He chokes out, sitting up quickly from my lap. I pat his back as he coughs. Damn maybe I shouldn't of told him now.

"Settle down Go-chan. I think they're good for each other. Lets talk about that subject later. What I want to know now is if you'd consider moving in with me?"

"I don't know, I've never thought about it before Trunks." Atleast he's being honest with me. I'm sure this whole new relationship and all the medical drama he's been through isn't helping him think right.

"Well we can stay at Capsule Corp, only if you want to that is. If Mom or Dad start being a pain or you're uncomfortable, I'll look for a place of our own."

"What if my Mother says no Trunks? You know how she is when she sets her mind to something."

"I'll just try extra hard to convince her that with 'my' money that I can get the best tutors and doctors money can buy Chibi. I'll go to college as long as you finish up your last year of high school." I'm hoping my pleading does the trick. I know I can make this happen. I know deep down inside that I can get him back to somewhat normal, even if his vision is impaired.

"Deal." That single word sent my heart fluttering and my spirit to soar. I'd be around my Chibi a lot more; and maybe, just maybe we'll be able to further our relationship outside of hospital walls.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


Persuading ChiChi was tougher then I thought it would be. After several days of my persistence, she gave in on one condition. That she would be allowed to visit Go-chan when ever she wanted to no questions asked. Who am I to argue with his mother over those stipulations?

Every night when I returned home from visiting my koibito, I would work on the large guestroom right across the hall from my own room. Mom really didn't say that much to me about Goten staying with us. And Dad, well he knew what I was up to. I'm just glad I didn't get any objection from him about this. But seeing that him and Gohan are together, that would be like the pot calling the kettle black.

"Aren't you done in here yet boy?" Leave it to my father to startle the shit out of me while I'm daydreaming.

"Ahh, almost I think. What do you think?" I ask him, showing off all the hard work that I've put into this room.

"I don't know why you went through all the trouble when the brat can't see it." His words hit me like a stonewall. He was right and I was the one with blind faith that he would regain his sight to see my masterpiece.

"I'm sure he'll appreciate the hard work son." He says after a brief moment of silence. I think the years have made him 'soft' like he says. He would have never spoken two words to me before, let alone a statement like that. Maybe being around Gohan is good.

"Dad, can I ask you something?" He gives me a curtly nod of his head and leans against the door waiting for me to speak.

"You're alright with me and Goten?" Oh man, he's giving me this weird look.

"Why would I object? I knew that one day this would happen and there wouldn't be a force great enough in the universe to stop it. Your Mother on the other hand, I'm not sure about."

"Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Her and her damn notion that I'm going to be president of the company, marry some sweet girl and have a ton of children for her to fuss over."

"It's going to come out sooner or later brat. Your soul mate comes first, once you bond with him. But until then, don't piss her off." And with that said, he turned and left me to my redecoration of the guest room.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Finally, the day I was waiting for. After a month and a half of living my life mostly at the hospital, Goten is ready to leave and finish his recovery at home. Home being with me.

Gohan had helped gather all his belongings and move them over to Capsule Corp over the last few days. I just think it was a way for him to see my father really. After Gohan was done putting things away, both him and my father disappeared. Man the mental images. Gah!

I went out the night prior and grabbed a few things that I knew Goten would want for his trip. I picked up a pair of black sunglasses. His eyes are very sensitive to light even though he can't see detail. The more light his eyes take in, the worse the headaches are. I also picked up a bandana for his lovely bold head. Well it's not really bold anymore; he's starting to grow some peach fuzz on top now. But I know he's self conscious about not having his hair, so I thought this would help out until it grows out some more.

I smile as the elevator doors open and I make a beeline towards his room. What I wasn't expecting was everyone in his room when I walk in. His parents, Gohan and my father are in the room and I catch a glimpse of Chibi sitting on the edge of the bed in his street clothes and the cane that signified his condition. The long white stick with the red tip. His face is down cast and the steady rhythm of him taping the cane of the floor told me that he was anxious to get the hell out of here and away from so many people.

"Ready to go Chibi?" I ask, sitting down next to him on the bed. He didn't say a word, but I knew he was more then ready to leave.

"I got you a few things. Sunglasses." I place them into his hand. He leans the cane against his shoulder so he can use both of his hands, feeling them for a moment before unfolding the bows and placing them upon his face.

"Now I'll fit the part of the blind man." He whispers. Please Chibi, you have to stop being so negative.

"And I got you this. Now stay still." I pull the dark blue bandana out of my pocket and fold it diagonally in half and tie it around his head.

"Going for the blind cancer patient look now." God if I wasn't so in love with him I would of just smacked him for that remark.

"Enough Chibi. Lets go and grab some lunch before going back to my place." He gives me a nod, and I wait while he says his goodbyes to his parents. I swear ChiChi is going to drive me to drinking! It's not like she's not going to be able to see Goten ever again. Goku tells him good-bye and tells him that he'll see him in the next few days when he comes over to spar with my father. He takes my arm and I lead the way. I'm so hoping for a good first day.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

He was quiet, too quiet as we drove to the restaurant for some lunch. We sat in a booth away from people, him sitting across from me.

"You want anything else Goten? I know you're dying for some real food."

"I don't care. Is there a lot of people here?" I look around the whole room. There weren't too many people here for a Thursday afternoon.

"No. Why Chibi?"

"I just don't want people looking at me is all." I grab his hand and pull it towards me, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"Only one looking at you is me. And I really like what I see Chibi."

"Trunks, not here."

"Can't help it Go-chan. But I'll promise to behave until we get back to Capsule Corp. then you're fair game." I can see the rosy blush working it across his cheeks. It only makes me want him more. Gods Trunks, you have to get control over yourself.

Eating in public maybe wasn't the greatest idea. Goten got upset after he accidentally knocked over his glass of water on the table. I got our food to go after that and helped him back to the car.

"I can't do this!" He bangs his fisted hand into the dashboard, actually cracking it.

"Whoa, whoa Goten calm down. Don't break my car." I tell him as I pull into the driveway of my house, the headquarters of Capsule Corp. I know he's about to blow up; all that pent up anger and sadness is ripping at the seams now. I quickly usher him into the house and up the stairs to his room before he takes it out on me. I rather my parents not see it.

As soon as I close the door, it begins. His whips his cane across the room and then his glasses in another direction. He angrily rips at the bandana on his head, his nails digging into skin as he did.

"Goten stop it! You're hurting yourself."

"I don't care Trunks! I can't see damn it! And now people expect me to be Goten again. It's not going to happen! I can't even control my ki anymore…I should have been left to die…" His yell was broke off with a choked sob.

"I don't expect you to go back to the person you were Goten. I'm here to make it better…I love you Chibi."

"Don't start that Trunks…please…" He turns sharply to me, his legs catching edge of the bed. I quickly catch him in my arms, pulling him close to me. I let him sob into my shoulder.

"Damn it Trunks…what would happen to me with out you?" His breath is tickling the edge of my ear as he speaks.

"I don't know, but I do know what I want to happen though. I couldn't live without you Goten, so please stop talking like that." I turn my head slightly, planting soft kisses on his cheek and jaw line.

"Trunks…" His grip tightened on my shoulders as I nibbled at his neck.

"Hmmm?" I close my eyes, my hands wandering into uncharted territory. He stiffens and pulls away from me.

"Too fast…" He mumbles out. Now it's me that needs to be smacked.

"I'm sorry Chibi." I bring his hands up to my face, the pads of his thumbs run across my lips softly before moving on, memorizing other features of my face before tracing my lips again. I kiss them softly as they brush by.

"I wish I could see you Trunks." I smile and open my eyes to look at him.

"Why look when you can feel?"

"Damn you're horny." Yep he said it and pretty bluntly I must add. I take his right hand from my face and place it on my groin. His eyes widen, his mouth falling open.

"Only for you Chibi. Only for you." Ok, now I know I've gone too far. You want to know how I know? I didn't see his fist until it hit my face, full force…
