When Goku returned to school, he briefly bluffed a little that his foster parents had got him someone to take care of at the last minute because they didn’t want to waste the fees paid. The reality was that Son Goku was living with Genjo Sanzo (he requested Goku to call him ‘Sanzo’ when they weren’t in the school compound) under one roof.
In the meantime, they were getting ready for the wedding. The wedding clothes were bought and the wedding spot was picked. (Sanzo wanted it to be a surprise, but Goku found out soon enough). Now last thing they need to do was the traditional bachelors’ party. Goku invited his closest relatives for the party and Sanzo hung out with his old college mates.
"Serious? You’re actually getting married to your English sensei Konzen?! You lucky girl, you!" Ririn, his foster cousin, exclaimed excitedly. Kogaiji, Ririn’s brother, ruffled Goku’s hair in slight envy.
"What charm did you put out him to make him so addicted to you?" Doku, his Papa Gojyo’s half-brother, asked with a grin.
"You must teach me the next time I want to get the guy I want!" Yaone, Kogaiji’s fiancée, giggled before apologizing to Kogaiji who shot her a pretend-angry look.
Goku was showered with compliments. He felt both proud and awkward with all the attention he was getting. The last time he had such an attention was when he won grand prize for the National Food Fest Competition. With a bottomless pit, it’s no wonder.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. The friends thought it was Sanzo coming home, but Goku knew that it wasn’t him; he’d bring the house keys. He went to answer the door and was shocked to see a gang of spunky-looking ladies and a couple of men barging into the house.
"Alright, who’s the wise girl who dares to marry our Sanzo-chan?!"
The leader of the gang, a pink-and-white-haired woman looked pretty strong and spunky. Goku backed away a little. Ririn and Yaone have run into hiding moments later.
"Who the heck are you?" Kogaiji yelled at them angrily. "Don’t you know it’s rude to crash someone’s party?"
"We demand to know who is the wise girl who dares to marry our life-long idol!" another woman yelled back. "This is none of your business!"
"You better leave before we call the cops or before you eat our fists!" Doku joined in the argument. The two of Goku’s tough relatives wanted to continue defending Goku but Goku decided to stand up to them.
"I…I am. Who wants to know?"
The leader took a glance at Goku’s small built and suddenly guffawed, followed by her members. She pointed a jeering finger at Goku and exclaimed, "You?! You’re our Sanzo-chan’s ‘wife’-to-be?! You gotta be kidding me, little boy! I can see it in your eyes that you’re nothing but a grade-schooler!"
"I’m not a grade-schooler! I’m 15, and next year I’ll be eligible to be married to Sensei Konzen!" Goku still need time to get off the habit of calling Sanzo the biblical name outside school.
"Oh yeah? What makes you think you’re eligible to marry him?" one of the members, a man, asked scornfully.
"By law and by decree!" Goku said as he pointed at the signed marriage papers that he and Sanzo framed and put on the wall as soon as he moved into his humble home. "And the reason that we love each other!"
The leader of the group glared at the framed marriage papers on the wall and her eye twitched in anger. She tore the frame out of the wall and smashed the frame onto the floor. She then took out the papers out of the smashed frame and lit a match on it, letting it burn. Goku was horrified. This was the only thing that proves that he and Sanzo is a lawful wedded couple.
He ran towards the burning papers and, with his bare hands, tried to pat the fire away, scalding them a little in the process. The leader was just as horrified as Doku and Kogaiji at upon looking at this.
"You idiot! You’ll get yourself scalded! What are you trying to do?!"
"This is…This is me and Sensei Konzen’s papers. I can’t let it burn!!! You’re evil!! These are our papers!! How could you?!" His hands were beginning to hurt in heat, but he didn’t care. He needed to get the fire killed.
"What’s going on here?"
Everyone stopped their bickering (Doku and Kogaiji were in the verge to start a gang fight) and spun round to see Sanzo and his gang of bachelor friends—Homura, Shien and Zeon—standing at the doorway, his hands on his waist and his stern eyes glaring at the spunky team. The team members softened their spunky faces and rushed up to Sanzo.
"Oh, Sanzo-chan! Please tell me that this immature boy is not the one you’re going to marry. You never used to be like that stuck-to-glue type of guy. Tell me it’s not true," the whiney voice of the leader made Goku sick.
"Yeah!" the boys in the team chided in. "You used to be a free-lancer, hanging out with us drinking and smoking to your hearts content and liking anyone and any gender you choose! You used to be our hero! What’s gotten into you?!"
Sanzo didn’t reply straight away. He dashed towards Goku, checking to see if his hands were hurt or anything—obviously it was—and hugged him close to his chest.
"How dare you guys come barging in like that?! If you hurt one more hair of my ‘wife’, I swear I’ll blow your brains out!"
"Your…Your ‘wife’…? I can’t believe it, you’re actually going to marry that midget?!" the leader was stunned.
"This ‘midget’ is my ‘wife’ and I’m not going to let you hurt him!" Mr. Mitchell glared at the girls with his dark eyes dangerously, taking out the gun he had kept inside his jacket and pointing it at the spunky team. He had been carrying that gun around ever since his college years for protection and this was the first time Goku saw it. The leader hesitated for a while before letting out a sharp breath.
"Fine! If you want to spend your whole life with that little dog, suit yourself!" she growled before pushing her way through the bachelors and out of the door. Sanzo tended to Goku’s hands, knocking Goku’s head with his knuckles.
"You bakasaru. It’s fire you’re dealing with. Why did you go hero all over and try to put it out?"
"I had to. She was burning them. It was a symbol of our lawful marriage by decree. I had to…" Goku was close to tears but Sanzo had his fingers wiping them.
"Bakasaru. They’re just pieces of paper. We can get another copy. There, there…" This was also the first time anyone has ever seen Sanzo speak so tenderly.
"So! This is the lucky ‘bride’ I see!" Zeon, one of the bachelors said as he ruffled Goku’s dark-brown hair. Everyone had a hearty laugh and the tense atmosphere was released. Goku’s girlfriends came out of their hiding place and joined in the fun.
After the bachelors’ party, Sanzo helped Goku to clean up the party mess in the living room. While picking up the half-eaten potato chips, Sanzo turned to look and Goku still eyeing sadly at the torn pieces of the marriage papers that were put aside on the table at the dining room.
"Doushite?" Sanzo asked, moving close to his fiancé.
"Annou…I still can’t get over the fact that the papers that brought us together could be ruined just like that, that’s all," Goku said quietly as he picked up the pieces, ready to throw them into the trashcan.
"Bakasaru. Didn’t I tell you that they’re just pieces of paper? We can get another copy. It’s not the end of the world yet."
"Hait, I know that. It’s just…"
Without warning, Sanzo came up from behind him and hugged him close. Goku blushed scarlet as he could hear Sanzo’s heartbeat beating steadily near his ear (he wasn’t too tall, mind you. Just as high as Sanzo’s chest). While being distracted by Sanzo’s beating heart, Sanzo’s tongue came towards Goku’s earlobe, running the wet tip along it. Goku gasped.
"Do we need the papers to do this?" Sanzo whispered silkily at Goku’s ear, enticing him.
"Sa…Sanzo…"
"Do we need the papers to do this?" Sanzo asked as his hand reached out slowly to grasp Goku’s crotch, making Goku let out a strangled yelp. Goku went all weak and fell onto the carpeted floor, Sanzo’s arms still around him.
"Say it, Goku," Sanzo whispered as he nibbled Goku’s neck while taking off the little bakasaru’s trousers. "Do we need to apply for marriage papers to do this?"
So saying, he claimed the lips of his ‘wife’-to-be as he undid his pants and thrust into Goku. Goku widened his eyes and let out a muffled cry, feeling Sanzo’s ‘entrance’ painfully in him. Goku tore his lips away from Sanzo and cried.
"I…Ite, Sanzo…Ite…!!"
"Say it, Goku. Do we need any papers for all this?" Sanzo pressed on, thrusting deeper into Goku. Tears fell freely out of Goku’s golden eyes.
"Ya…Yameru…!! Yameru kudasai…!!"
"Answer me, bakasaru. Do we need papers for all this?"
"I…Ie…"
"I can’t hear you."
"Ie…IE!! We don’t need them!! Just…stop…! Yameru kudasai~!!"
Sanzo soon slowed down his thrusting and kissed Goku’s lips, licking the tears that ran down his cheeks. He kissed him some more and hushed Goku who was whining and sobbing, begging Sanzo to stop hurting him.
"See? It’s not that important as it seemed, does it? It’s only pieces of paper showing that we’re legally married, that’s all. I bet they never needed it during the olden days. Don’t worry, we’ll get another copy, alright?"
"Hait…" Goku replied painfully. He could still feel Sanzo’s thrust in him. "Ite…Yameru…"
"Gomenasai…" Sanzo whispered as he claimed Goku’s lips again. "I’ll be very gentle…I promise…"
****
Well, all’s well ends well. They got a new copy of marriage papers, reapplied it and resigned it. And just on Goku’s birthday, they got married at the church. Before they both set out into the procession, Sanzo went into the waiting and checked on Goku, who was doing the finishing touch of his outfit.
"Are you done yet?" Sanzo called out.
"Almost," Goku replied. Sanzo stared in awe at Goku in his wedding outfit, his face blushing like heck (that’s very rare!).
"You…You are so beautiful…" Goku muttered sheepishly.
"Really?" Goku asked. He looked at his husband-to-be and said, "Sensei Kon…I mean, Sanzo? Are you sure you want to do this? I mean…I forced you to take me as your ‘wife’…and you could find other people more suitable than me…"
Sanzo replied with a solemn face, "Honto-ni, you sure are a midget, pretty but not cute, and you are a little extravagantly crazy. Not to mention you are a seriously demented bakasaru."
Goku pouted, "I should’ve known."
"But," Sanzo said as he raised his ‘bride’ high above his head and stole a kiss from his rosy lips, "That’s what I like about you, Goku."
So, with the vows made and the rings exchanged and the kisses shared and the confetti showered on them and all, they were officially declared husband and ‘wife’. It was romantic, more than words can describe.
Cliché as it may sound, I must say that they lived happily ever after.
