Chapter 18 - Messing with Vegeta
.

.
Haru and Trunks went over to the living room as Trunks ran excitedly being able to do what he always imagined doing for his age
Haru opened the door and said "We're home!"
All the z fighters looked at him and saw a little kid enter as well
Little Trunks jumped and said "Buah!"
All the z fighters looked at Little Trunks who was standing up in shock
Krillin then asked in shock "P-Present Trunks is 1 year old right?"
All the z fighters nodded at Krillin's question
Haru just laughed and said "Of course, he's 1 year old. I'm supporting him with ki, that's why he can stand up."
"I see… That surprised me "Krillin breathed a sigh of relief
Little Trunks ran towards Vegeta and raised his arms as he said "Upa!"
Vegeta couldn't help but have the corner of his lips point up a bit.
Haru then teased as he laughed "Oya… Did Vegeta-chan just smile? I guess even the proud Vegeta has a soft spot for his son."
The z fighters also laughed at the reaction of Vegeta as Haru teased him.
Earning a vein built out of annoyance to the forehead of Vegeta but just ignored and he carried Trunks on his hands
Trunks waved his hands forward trying to touch Vegeta's face "Upa… Upa…"
Vegeta just smiled forgetting that there were z fighters around and pulled Trunks forward letting him touch his face but lost his smile as he looked at everyone who were smiling as if they were teasing him about his crush when he's in elementary so he blushed and yelled at them "What are you looking at?!" Reacting exactly like the boy who was teased to his crush.
Everyone looked at Vegeta with same smile and replied "Nothing~"
Vegeta just opened and went out of the house, he couldn't handle the embarrassment as the proud one he was.
Haru laughed out loud and said "Did you see the expression Vegeta had. Too bad I didn't have a phone to take a picture and tease him about it."
The z fighters also laughed and Raditz said "I didn't know Vegeta could be like that. I guess times have really changed."
The z fighters nodded as they laughed agreeing to what Raditz has said
Bulma then opened the door and looked at Haru who was not carrying Trunks "Haru? Where's Trunks?"
Haru laughed again as he explained "You're a step too late. You should have seen the expression of Vegeta when I supported Little Trunks so he was able to stand up and he went towards Vegeta asking him to carry him. Vegeta smiled as he carried Trunks forgetting about us in here and couldn't handle being teased so he left as he carried Trunks."
The Z fighters laughed again hearing about it again
Bulma in shock asked "Vegeta smiled and he was teased? His expression should have been funny. How enviable, I wish I could have seen it."
Haru then said as he sensed what Vegeta was doing with Trunks and saw him playing with him somewhere a bit far "Wait a sec."
Bulma asked "For what?"
Haru then replied as he snapped his fingers and teleported Vegeta and Trunks inside the living room again "For this."
Vegeta who didn't know that he was teleported then said in a voice that was like a father doting on his son as he was about to gently throw his son in the air "Takai, takai!(High, High!)"
Vegeta then noticed he was inside the living room again as he gently threw Trunks in the air.
The Z fighters laughed again as if they were dying out of laughter on the floor rolling and Trunks smiled as he looked at Vegeta and the little Trunks and thought 'Maybe I could have been like this when I was little if my father was alive in the future timeline. How enviable.'
Bulma also teased as she tried to hold her laughter "V-Vegeta… I-I didn't know you had a s-side like this..."
Vegeta turned red out of embarrassment as he caught Trunks and immediately he shrouded both him and Trunks with ki and flew out of the living room with incredible speed the same way he left a while ago but broke some part of the window this time.
"See that?" Haru asked as he also tried not to die of laughter
Bulma then finally laughed out loud and said thankfully "I saw that. Thanks! Haru!"
"No problem!" Haru who was still laughing said in reply
…
Meanwhile, Vegeta who dropped into a grassy field thought angrily as he held Trunks 'I've never suffered such a humiliation in my life! That damned Haru!'
He then felt Trunks waving his hands around as he tried to hug Vegeta. "Upa…"
Vegeta just smiled and put Trunks down to see if Haru's ki was still supporting him as he couldn't sense or see it, it was god ki. And Haru made it invisible.
Trunks just stood up and ran around. Trunks pointed towards the forest which earned a smile to Vegeta's face and followed Trunks to play around.
…
"Alright! So what did Cell announce?" Haru asked as he looked at the z fighters who watched the tv.
"You were right, Haru-niisan. As you've said Cell did announce to the world that he would hold a martial arts tournament to test his strength in 10 days if we don't win he'll kill all earthlings." Krillin said as he shifted from a laughing emotion into a serious one.
Haru just replied as he laid down on the bubble couch "Well, good luck with that."
Krillin asked in concern "Good luck with that? Aren't you going to fight? Haru-niisan?"
Haru just shrugged and replied as he yawned "Of course I won't. Isn't that akin to a human killing ants?"
Krillin, devastated , looked at Haru as he dropped to the ground "That's… We're doomed."
Haru just said before he slept "Don't worry too much. Try to depend on the saiyans maybe they can kill Cell…"
"But… but…" Krillin said with a pale face as he looked at Haru but found out that Haru fell asleep.
Raditz just patted Krillin in the shoulder and said as he laughed"Don't worry too much. We'll train as much as we can in the next few days if that doesn't work we'll die. We'll die in the end either way."
Krillin just looked at Raditz and complained helplessly "How can you be that easy going when there's a possibility of us dying."
Raditz replied as he also laid down on one of the bubble couches in the living room "It's better than being devastated right?"
"You're right but…" Krillin couldn't help but worry.
Raditz also fell asleep.
Krillin just looked at him dumbfoundedly as he said "Strong people are really different."
Trunks also cheered up Krillin and said "Don't worry, Krillin-san. We'll find a way, one way or another."
Krillin just nodded and said "I hope we do."
Trunks also slept in the floor
Android 18 and 17 also just slept copying Haru and the others.
Krillin, Yamcha, Oolong, Puar, Muten Roushi and the others just looked at them.
Muten Roushi just cheered Krillin up and said "Don't worry. Maybe Goku can win against Cell after he's done training. If not Let's just enjoy the next 10 days. Hohohoho."
Krillin just looked at Muten Roushi and said "How can you be so irresponsible. Muten Roushi-sama."
"Well… either way, we can't do anything about it besides put our hopes in them or hope for a miracle that Lord Haru will move." Muten Roushi said as he caressed his beard
Krillin nodded helplessly in reply
Yamcha asked now as he has been really curious since awhile ago "Muten Roushi-sama? Who is this Lord Haru. That everyone seems really close to?"
Puar, Oolong and Chichi also nodded in Yamcha's question
Muten Roushi explained "Lord Haru is a god that has descended from the heavenly realm. Although he didn't possess that kind of strength before. Now, he's really mysterious. His strength is undetectable and more mysterious now like a ki different from mortals. Well that's a given since he's a god."
They looked at Muten Roushi in shock as they looked at Haru who was sleeping peacefully "He's a god?"
"Yes. Didn't you see him playing around with Vegeta but he couldn't do anything to retaliate? According to Goku, He's been staying in the hyperbolic time chamber since before Goku fought Piccolo. I don't even dare to imagine what heights of strength Lord Haru has reached. Raditz... Vegeta... are both quite different after they came out of the hyperbolic time chamber so they probably got disciplined by Lord Haru in the time chamber. That's why their attitudes are not as arrogant as before. One thing is for sure, Lord Haru is a benevolent god so you don't have to worry about him harming us. As you can see, Lord Haru is an easygoing person, as long as you're not too arrogant, he won't touch you."
They nodded as they gulped looking at Haru.
