Welcome to DBZ Love Garden

"Oh, no no no no, this is so easy it's unbearable!" Turles laughed evilly as he watched Goku through his crystal ball. "The young Prince is in love with a Saiyan! And not just any Saiyan, another Prince as well! Ooooh, Bardy is going to love that."

The half octopus left his seat and approached his private collection. A haunting sight of small, gnarly creatures stuck to the ground, writhing in agony and making a nightmarish sound, greeted him.

"King Bardock would make a charming addition to my little garden~ Wouldn't you agree, my lovelies?"

The pathetic looking creatures cowered in fear as the Sea Witch's shadow loomed over them. Turles' dark laughter rang throughout his cave as he started plotting a most devilish plan to obtain his true desire.

-

It had been a few cycles since the close encounter with the Saiyan Prince, and Goku's birth celebration was just around the corner; Raditz was going out for a swim while racking his brain, thinking about what to give his baby brother for this momentous occasion.

According to fin-folk tradition, Goku would now be recognized as an official Prince at the age of eighteen. This was a significant celebration, and Raditz wanted to give Goku the best present ever.

As if the gods from above had heard his dilemma, Raditz spotted a structure at the bottom of the ocean. He couldn't make it out well enough, so he neared what appeared to be a statue.

"Oh, Baby Brother," the Mer-Saiyan's eyes widened as he saw just whose statue it was, "Yer gonna give me the best blow job ever after ya've seen what I've found for ya." Raditz shivered at the prospect; Goku, giddy as a young cub, expressing his gratitude towards his older brother.

First, Raditz was going to need a few extra fins to help carry the statue towards the younger Mer-Saiyan's secret cove.

-

After darkness had settled over the vast waters, the celebration was already well underway, and Goku couldn't be feeling more bored. He wanted music, dancing, food, private time with his family, anything other than his carrier giving a speech to the elders and the rest of the high ranked guests.

Gine saw his cub fidgeting in his seat and placed a hand on Goku's, leaning in to whisper. "It'll be over soon, and ya can enjoy the afterparty."

"Afterparty?" Goku whispered back questioningly.

Gine winked.

Now, the guest of honor had something to look forward to at least.

"…And this were why I'm certain my youngest cub will live up to our royal name!" Bardock finished and the crowd cheered.

The King turned to Goku and said with a smile. "I have faith in ya, cub. Now let's begin the real celebration!"

Upbeat music suddenly resonated throughout the enormous chamber, and Goku couldn't stop a smile from gracing his lips. Bardock clapped his hands, and the young cub gasped as waiters began pouring in, setting up tables and stacking them sky high with delicious looking morsels; shrimp, oysters, salmon, snails, crab legs, lobster, squid… Any food from the sea one could think of was there and prepared with the best herbs and spices.

Raditz swam over to the birthday Mer-Saiyan and tapped his shoulder. "What are ya waiting for, Baby Brother? Go have fun!"

"Ya comin' with?" Goku asked, eagerness spilling from his eyes.

"I'll be with ya in a moment." The long haired fin-folk replied before swimming away and through the backstage curtains.

Goku arched an eyebrow but decided to go stuff his mouth with the exquisite food his carrier had ordered, ignoring how odd his older brother was acting.

-

Bardock watched the young Prince swim towards the tables and start piling up food on a silver platter. He chuckled to his right hand and mate, Gine.

"Can ya believe it? Eighteen. Soon he'ill be taking a mate and having cubs of his own." Bardock ordered a waiter to bring them a selection of the seafood.

"A mate? Oh, Bardy, it's much too soon for that, dontcha think?" Gine nuzzled Bardock's well defined shoulder.

"Nonsense! We were young too when we got together, remember?" Bardock reached out to grab a delicacy from one of the trays the waiters diligently brought over to them.

"Raditz still hasn't found a mate yet, and look how old he is." Gine took an oyster from his tray and slurped it.

"Raditz… He's a special case, in more ways than one. I don't think he has eyes for anyone other than Goku." Bardock chuckled.

"Bardy, ya say the darndest things sometimes. Raditz is fiiiine-"

"He's different. He came from a Saiyan-"

"He has as good a chance of getting a mate as Goku has-"

"He can't even count properly-"

"He has trouble, yes, but who don't? All he needs is guidance from his source-"

"He still calls me 'Baba' for crying out loud-"

"If ya'd just let Toma help ya out-"

"No! Absolutely not. I don't want him to be a part of my circle's lives-"

"But he IS, Bardy." Gine grasped the King's hand in his. "He loves ya, and I know ya love him too. Give him a chance. He has every right to be in our lives or at least Raditz's life."

Bardock sighed and kissed his mate fondly. "He refuses to leave his old ways-"

"And ya refuse to leave yer ways too! Ya both need to compromise and-"

"I will not compromise with the likes of a Saiyan. I tire of this conversation, Gine. Let's enjoy Goku's Crown Birth Celebration. It only happens once in a lifetime."

Gine huffed but let it be. Bardock was as stubborn as a crawfish, and only Bardock could change his mind whenever he felt like it.

-

The birthday Prince was on his fifth platter when he bumped into another Mer-Saiyan.

"Oh- 'Orry, I washn't 'ookin'-" Goku said with his stuffed mouth. He turned around to see who he had bumped into, and the sight made him swallow the whole bite. "Broly?!"

"Hi." The shy fin-folk blushed.

"Oh, my Goddess, it's been ages!" Goku nearly dropped the plate he was holding as he hugged his childhood friend. After they separated, Goku regarded the newcomer. "Did ya come for my birth celebration? Are ya stayin' for awhile?"

"A-actually, I came with my source. He's on a business trip. He's on his way to talk to the King." Broly's gaze flickered for a moment, taking in his childhood crush. "You've- You've grown. So much."

Goku beamed at Broly and gave a little turn. "Yep! I'm an official prince now. Oh! Wait until Raditz sees how much ya've grown! Where is he?" Goku trailed off as he looked for his brother.

"That's kind of why we're here…" Broly commented as he brushed his bangs from his face.

"Hm? I dun understand. Ya came t' see my brother?"

-

"Your Royal Highness! You have a visitor. Paragus from the Great Barrier!" A guard announced.

"Paragus?" Bardock sat up straight and signaled the guard to let Paragus approach.

"Majesty." The older Saiyan bowed down once he reached the throne's dais.

"State your business, Paragus." Bardock sneered at his brother.

"I come in the word of peace, Brother. I wish to unite our kingdoms." Paragus jumped straight to the point.

"Unite our kingdoms, how?" Bardock raised an eyebrow.

Paragus had always wanted to rule Atlanta, but when the time came for his coronation, their parents gave Paragus the Great Barrier instead. Paragus was furious at his parents, and a huge rift tore between him and his circle. Years later, when Paragus found out that Bardock had been named the new ruler of Atlanta, the rift became greater, and wars were had between the two kingdoms.

"Our first borns, Your Highness. Well, the one that is still alive." Paragus said in a sly voice. "I wish to give Broly to Raditz.

-

"My source, he wants to betroth me to your brother, Raditz." Broly continued, making Goku slack jawed.

"What about me now?" Raditz suddenly called out.

Broly gasped as he saw the long haired Mer-Saiyan come up to them and looked away in embarrassment. He was going to be Raditz's mate, if Bardock accepted Paragus' proposal. If that happened, Broly's chances of being with the love of his life would be gone, oblivious as Goku was to his feelings.

"Heeeey, Broly, right? Haven't seen ya in a while. What gives?"

"N-nothing! I- I have to go." Broly looked at Goku one last time before turning tail and disappearing among the crowd.

"Sheesh, what's up with him?" Raditz tilted his head to the side.

"I dunno!" Goku said too quickly. "Broly's- He's always been an odd one, yeah?"

Raditz shrugged, then sidled up to his younger brother and said in a conspiratorial voice. "Hey… Speaking of odd, I gotcha something yer gonna loooove~" He singsang.

"Ya did?!" This time, Goku did drop the half eaten platter of food; it slowly sank to the sea floor.

Raditz chuckled at his younger brother's eagerness; Goku had always been a sucker for gifts.

"Of course I did! But we need to do this in a hush-hush way. Our carrier cannot find out." The older sibling whispered.

The birthday fin-folk squealed in delight.

Raditz looked back at the throne. "Good. 'Dock is talking to someone. He's distracted enough, c'mon!" The larger Saiyan took off into the depths of the sea, away from the celebration chamber and all the noise that accompanied it.

Goku quickly swam to catch up with his brother. "Raditz, slow down! Ya know I can't swim that fast!"

The other decreased his speed, and both Mer-Saiyans swam down a well known path.

"Where- Are we goin' t' my cave?" Goku asked after the way became too familiar.

"Mhmm~"

"Wha- What do ya have for me?" Goku tried getting information out of his older brother.

"M-mm." Raditz made a 'zipper' movement with his fingers on his mouth, like Toma had taught them.

"Oh, c'moooon! Tell me." Goku hugged Raditz's large biceps and nuzzled him.

"Nope. Ya'll hafta see for yerself."

"Pleeeeease?"

"No!" Raditz twisted away from Goku and swam in a leisurely manner.

"I'll do that thing ya like with my mouth." Goku negotiated.

"Oh, ya will. There ain't no doubt about that. Ya'll worship my dick when ya see what I got for ya." Raditz smiled wickedly, barely containing his perverted laughter.

"Oh, really?" Goku stopped. "Well, I ain't doin' it if ya dun tell me." He huffed and crossed his arms, pouting like a child.

The larger sibling smirked. "Alright. If that's the way ya feel about it, I'll enjoy this present all by myself." Raditz shrugged and kept swimming.

"Oh, c'mooon!"

The two brothers bickered playfully with each other until they reached Goku's secret cave where he had all the trinkets collected from shipwrecks and whatnot.

"We're here already, quit yer bitching." Raditz pushed the boulder that covered the entrance to the cave and let himself in, followed by a frustrated Goku.

As they were about to reach the main chamber, Raditz stopped, making Goku slam into his back.

"Ya need to close yer eyes now." Raditz turned to his brother.

"REALLY?!" Goku whined.

"Yes, really. Now close them!" The long haired fin-folk waited for his brother to close his eyes and then guided Goku to the main chamber where his present was.

He swam behind his shorter brother and placed his hands on the other's shoulders.

"Can I open them now?" Goku asked, mildly irritated.

"Okay, open them!" Raditz said.

Goku opened his eyes and gasped, his hands coming up to cover his mouth. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Standing elegantly in the middle of the cave was the statue of that Saiyan Goku rescued not too long ago.

"Oh, my…"

"Mmmmhmmmm?" Raditz watched his baby brother swim around the statue taking in all the features of the Saiyan.

"How did ya…?"

"With a lot of grit, spit, and more grit."

"Raditz…" Goku was speechless. This was by far the best present he had received in his life.

"RADITZ, YER THE BEST!" Goku swam in happy circles. He clumsily hugged his brother and went back to staring and touching the statue.

"It looks just like him! It even has his bulge!"

"It's a pretty good find, dontcha think?" Raditz leaned on the statue and examined his fingernails.

"It's amazing! Oh, my Goddess, I can't believe- How did ya find it?!" Goku looked at his sibling with starry eyes.

"Well. I can either tell ya the boring story about how I didn't know what to get ya for yer Crown Birth Celebration, or ya can forget the 'how' and 'thank me' for bringing it to ya." Raditz said in a smug voice.

Goku dropped his hands and gave his brother a look. "Of COURSE I'm gonna thank ya!"

The younger fin-folk gently pushed the taller one until Raditz was sitting on a flat rock free of any treasure. He then started playing with his sibling's slit until his cock peaked out. Not wasting anymore time, Goku started licking and sucking on the head, making Raditz groan. Soon his entire member was out and hard.

"Oh, Goku. Yer mouth feels so good~" Raditz panted.

"Mmm- Better than- 'Dock's?" Goku asked between licks.

The long haired Mer-Saiyan shivered, "His mouth is great, but yer mouth is my favorite." He threaded his hand in Goku's spikey locks as the smaller birthday prince serviced him.

"Hey… Do ya think ya can let me play with yer slit a little?" Raditz asked.

Goku came up with a questioning face, "Ya mean my dick?"

"N-no. Yer slit-slit."

Goku's eyes widened. "Ya mean…?"

Raditz nodded bashfully.

"Ain't those for mates only?" Goku asked, thrilled but scared at the same time.

Until now, Raditz had never asked Goku for more than a blow job or a mutual rub down. Nobody had ever played with his cloaca, not even Goku himself. He had been told that a Prince's cloaca could only be touched by his mate, nobody else, and Goku, being the goodie two shoes that he was, had followed that rule all his life.

"Well, I uh- I was thinking…" Raditz scratched the back of his head- he always did that when he was nervous. He didn't know how to tell Goku the feelings he had for him. It was not unusual for brothers to become mates in their world, but Goku might not feel the same way about him.

"Did ya…" Goku wasn't sure they were on the same page, but he continued, "Want t' be my mate?"

Raditz looked down and nodded.

"Oh, Raditz." Goku placed his hands on his sibling's face and lifted it to kiss him deeply.

The brothers made out for a long time, their arms and tails wrapped around each other, and they held one another tightly.

"Will ya become my mate, Goku?" Raditz's whole body shook from nerves.

The smaller fin-folk chuckled and sobbed simultaneously. He didn't know what to say, so he simply nodded. Raditz's heart leapt in his throat, and he hugged his brother firmly.

"Raditz- Can't breathe-"

"Oh, sorry." The older prince let go of his brother.

"There's only one problem… Well- Two, actually." Goku looked away towards the statue.

"Yer- Yer little crush on the Saiyan?" Raditz lifted his eyebrows. "Ya can't be serious about him! We don't know where he is! We don't even know if he would feel the same way about ya. Not to mention, how would a relationship between a Mer-Saiyan and a Saiyan work!"

"Now yer soundin' like Bardock." Goku huffed.

"I- I don't mean to!" Raditz got up and started swimming and pacing. "We just gotta be realistic here." He stopped to look at his younger brother with tears floating from his eyes.

"Oh, Baby Brother. Ya got it bad…"

"I dun know what t' do, Raditz!" Goku sobbed. "I love him!"

Raditz felt a spear going through his heart, the pain making him lose his erection entirely. "Ya… Love him?"

"As much as I love ya." Goku confessed.

The older brother was torn in half; he hated seeing Goku in such a dilemma. "Okay, okay. Say we DO find him, and he DOES get inta ya, because- I mean- Who wouldn't." Raditz and Goku chuckled. "Say that he does wanna get with ya, and… SOMEhow, ya both manage to go around the 'entirely different species' problem. Where does that leave me?" Raditz asked solemnly.

"With US, ya dummy!" Goku swam towards his troubled brother. "He'll love ya as much as he'll love me. I'll just convince him t' take both of us as mates."

Raditz smiled sadly at his optimistic and naive sibling. "I don't think it'll be that easy, Goku."

"Trust me. I have a way t' get others on my side." Goku placed his arms around Raditz's neck and kissed him sweetly.

The bulkier Mer-Saiyan hummed and smirked as they parted. "Ya sure do, Baby Brother." He leaned in to capture Goku's mouth again.

"Hey, we've been away from yer party long enough. I don't want others to start worrying about us." Raditz said after they separated.

"The party…" Goku suddenly remembered the second problem they were facing. "Paragus!"

"What about him?"

"He wants t' give Broly t' ya. As a mate!" Goku exclaimed.

"Broly- As a mate-" Raditz had to shake his head in order to dispel the fogginess that had settled over it. "BROLY? And… ME?!"

The younger fin-folk nodded.

Raditz sank to the bottom of the seabed. "Oh, no no no no no."

"I know. Maybe ya should talk t' Bardock about this. Tell him ya've chosen a mate." Goku pointed to himself.

Raditz half smiled at his brother's innocence. "Ya don't understand, Goku. If Paragus is ready to give Broly to me, it means he either wants peace or war." At his brother's confused stare, Raditz added. "Paragus and Bardock don't get along, right? They've been at war for a long time. Paragus wants to unite the kingdoms by having me betroth Broly. Bardock will either accept or not, Paragus knows this. If Bardock accepts, then I unite with Broly and all is well, our kingdoms will be at peace finally. If he declines, Paragus will see it as a sign that Bardock wants an all out war with him!"

"Oh. Shit." The younger prince now understood how serious this situation was.

"FUCK!" Raditz cussed as he grabbed his head, pulling a few long strands in the process.

"So Broly becomes both our mate." Goku suggested.

"It ain't that simple, Baby Bro. Paragus will see it as a defiance if I take ya as a life partner." Raditz now felt like crying. "I- I'm sorry, Goku. But I can't take ya as a mate. Not when the peace of our kingdoms is at risk. It would be irresponsible of me. And selfish."

Goku felt tears welling up inside.

"Please understand, Brother. I-"

"Oh, I understand. Ya just wanted t' get some tail!" Goku let his emotions get the best of him and logic went out the window.

"How can ya say that? I want to be yer mate, but at this point it's impossible. Unless Bardock refuses Paragus' offer, but then that'll mean war. And trust me, Bardock has wanted to put an end to the ongoing tussle between our kingdoms for a long time. He'll definitely say 'yes'."

"So convince him t' convince Paragus t' let ya have me as yer second mate!" Goku yelled.

"Second? Goku, I could never have ya as a second mate, ya'd be my first mate. And Paragus will get quite sore if he finds out that yer first and Broly is second-"

"So we tell Broly t' keep it a secret!" Goku perked up. "We talk t' him and get him on our side. T' the public's view he'll be yer first mate, but in reality, I'll be yer first mate!"

Raditz truly thought that it was a clever plan, but it didn't feel right. "And how about yer Saiyan? Will he accept Broly as a mate too?"

It was now Goku's turn to pull his hair. "I dunno. I dunno what to do!"

"Tell ya what. Let's go back to yer party, mingle a bit, eat, dance, whatever we wanna do, and wait for Bardock to call me in. We're stressing out over clams right now when we should be enjoying yer Crown Birth Celebration." Raditz attempted to calm his brother down.

Goku nodded. "I'll join ya in a bit. I need t' take a breather."

The taller prince understood Goku needed some space. He made his way out the cave and turned to look at his sibling. "Hey. Maybe afterwards we can continue where we left off?" Raditz teased.

Goku scoffed but nodded all the same. He watched the other leave before he let himself fall on the rock they were sitting on not too long ago and started crying, his mind going a mile a minute.

"Oh, poor, sweet child!" A sultry disembodied voice interrupted his thoughts.

Goku started and looked up; he couldn't see anyone around him. "Who- Who are ya?"

"Don't be scared~" The voice said. "I can help you solve all your problems, make them all go away."

"Show yerself!" Goku commanded.

In a puff of smog, a being appeared in front of the young royal. His skin was dark, and his tentacles were a deep, rich purple.

"Who are ya?" Goku asked the creature.

"Just someone who's taken an interest in you and your troubles."

"Ya- Ya've been stalkin' me?" The Mer-Saiyan asked, fear creeping up his tail.

"Not quite." The half octopus said. "After all, it was my job to look over the princes. I'm only continuing with my job, although now it's more of a hobby."

"State yer name." Goku said in a serious tone.

"Names are not important-"

"Now!"

The creature looked amused at the young Prince. "Turles. You may have heard of me?"

"Turles…" Goku gasped as he recognized the name. "Ya were banished, what are ya doin' here?!"

"Ah-ah-ah, banished for unfair reasons." Turles added, shaking one finger in the negative. "And I'm here because I still remain loyal to my job of taking care of the princes."

"No." Goku shook his head. "I dun want anythin' t' do with ya."

"Are you sure? I could tell you where your Saiyan is. I could… Arrange a meeting between you two."

Goku tensed. The offer was tempting, but he'd been warned not to ever mingle with the likes of Turles, the Sea Witch. "I ain't interested." He growled.

"I could show you how much this Saiyan Prince is pining over the one who rescued him that fateful night."

The fin-folk gasped again. The Saiyan wanted him? And he was a Prince?! He could- No, he couldn't! He couldn't let this evil being help him get with the Saiyan of his dreams.

"Would you like to know his name?" The seductive creature purred as he swam circles around Goku.

Against his heart's desires, the Mer-Saiyan shook his head. "I said 'NO'. Get out of here, leave me alone!"

"As you wish, my Prince. I was only offering a solution~" Turles cast a spell and slowly disappeared in a cloud of dark water.

Goku was shook. His heart ached as he realized he could have accepted the witch's help, not only with his Saiyan Prince but with the Paragus problem as well. He slumped on the ground and cried some more. This was too much to take in. First, the Paragus problem; second, his brother asked him to become his mate, then he went back on his offer, and now the Sea Witch had taken an interest in his life.

The birthday prince sat there on the seabed, trying to calm himself down. Little did he know, things were about to get worse, so much worse.

-

Raditz made his way to the party and slinked in, unnoticed by anyone, or so he thought. He went to the banquet to finally get some food and prepare to look for Broly. He needed to know the odd fin-folk's opinion on all this mess, maybe even get more ideas on how to solve this problem.

As he finished topping off the mountain of food on his platter, a guard approached him, startling him slightly.

"Apologies, my Prince, but King Bardock wishes to see you immediately." The soldier said.

Raditz let out an annoyed sigh. "Can I eat first?"

"I'm afraid this cannot wait, Your Highness."

"Oh, fine." Raditz reluctantly left the plate of untouched food on the table and followed the soldier to the throne room. He was surprised when the guard swam past the throne and went to the back, towards the private royal chambers. He was even more surprised when he saw none other than Broly standing by the doors, looking morose.

"Please wait here, Your Highness, for the King to call you in." The soldier said, bowed, and left promptly.

Raditz was left standing in front of Broly, an awkward moment passing between them as the taller Mer-Saiyan looked at him for a second and then looked away, blushing.

"Hey. Uh…" Raditz decided to break the ice in the worst possible way, "I know about the betrothal. You and me? I- It's not that I don't like ya… It's more like-"

"Oh, please say 'no'!" Broly suddenly lurched forward and grabbed Raditz's hands. "I don't want this anymore than you do. I'm… Not in love. With you."

Raditz was slightly offended but relieved that Broly didn't want this forced union either.

"I know, but this is for our kingdoms." Raditz let go of Broly's hands and crossed his arms. "Look… I'm just gonna say it straight. I just proposed to Goku, and-"

"You- You want to become his mate?!" Broly growled.

The buttons clicked. "Oh. Oh, no. Yer in love with him?"

Broly tensed and looked away, turning very, very red.

Raditz was about to challenge the other Mer-Saiyan out of instinct, but then a thought came to him. "No, wait. This could work."

"How?" Broly asked.

"Ya take me as a mate-" Raditz paused at Broly's growl, "Listen. Ya take me as a mate AFTER ya take Goku as a mate! I get to have my brother as my first mate like I want to, and it won't seem like I'm putting him over ya, cuz we both know that won't fly with Paragus."

Broly tilted his head before his eyes opened in understanding.

"See? This is perfect! We both want Goku, and the point is having ya mate to either one of Bardock's offspring at the very least. So if ya take Goku as yer first mate and let me take him as a mate as well-"

"My source will think both of you are my first and second mate, instead of thinking I'm a second choice for either one of you." Broly finished.

Raditz could almost kiss him. Almost. For a quiet guy, Broly certainly had the brains.
