Author's note: So, it's probably one of the shortest one-shots...but I was feeling melancholy and wanted something to cheer myself up...so I wrote this. So...warnings include Yaoi so don't read if you don't like that. Reviews are definitely welcome...without further ado...a Tora x Bardock fic...

A Moment to Breathe

The water felt good against his skin. Slowly, his muscles relax as he soaks. It had been one hell of a day. "Hey, lazy bones."

Slowly, Bardock looks up. "Tora...when did you get back?"

"Like ten minutes ago. I figued you'd be here."

"You gonna join me?"

"I don't know...I was rather enjoying the view to be honest. You look like you're enjoying yourself there."

"I'd be enjoying myself MORE if you were in here."

"How can I refuse such a tantalizing request?" Tora asks as he strips out of his spandex. Bardock would respond but he was too busy staring at the skin being bared to really pay that much attention. His gaze trails down the sculpted chest to the tapered hips, to...Flushing, he jerks his head up to stare at the male's amused gaze."Why, Bardock, do you like what you see?"

"It's hardly MY fault for looking when you nearly pose for me," he retorts.

Tora chuckles before joining him in the water. "You're cute sometimes, 'Dock."

"I am NOT cute!" he protests.

"Yes, you are."

"Am NOT!"

"Are too."

"Am NOT!"

"Are too."

"Am..." His protest is cut off as Tora's mouth is pressed against his. Bardock pulls the taller male closer deepening the kiss. Tora draws him onto his lap deepening it making him moan against his mouth. It felt so good.

Tora finally breaks the kiss and gazes at him. "Y-you want to keep arguing?"

Bardock shakes his head. "N-no," he manages.

"Good," Tora murmurs sliding his arms around him. "We've got some time and I'd like to spend it doing far more pleasurable things than that."

Bardock slowly draws himself up before settling again on Tora's hips. It had been awhile since he'd done this so it's a little painful but he ignores it in favor of pressing all the way down. He stills once Tora is all the way in him. "A-ah...f-fuck..."

"'Dock...probably NOT a good idea to have done THAT."

"A-and?" he grits out. The pain fades quickly as he becomes accustomed to the male's cock in his depths. After a moment of being completely still, he makes an experimental rock of his hips. "Mmm..." he groans softly, "Ahh...yess...that's it."

"F-Fuck...'Dock..." Tora groans as the male's muscles clench around his swollen skin. "Y-you...should have been more...careful."

The male chuckles from against him. "A-and? I am not a virgin, Tora. Besides, I was wet enough."

"S-still..."

"Don't worry so much," Bardock forces out, "Just...just fuck me already."

Tora can't help the low groan that escapes him hearing that. He shifts slightly so that he's all the way in him and the angle makes Bardock whimper in pleasure. "You asked for it," he murmurs before thrusting hard. Bardock arches gasping at that.

"Ahhh...yesss...that's more like it..." the spiky-haired male encourages moving with his thrusts. Tora holds his hips tightly before letting the pace become harder, rougher, and just the way Bardock liked it. The clenching heat around him was nearly more than he could bear and the sounds he coaxed from the Saiyan beneath him were erotic as hell.

Passion rises hot and heady and the rest of the world seems to disappear leaving them alone together. For a little while, all that matters to either of them is each other and the bond that existed between the two of them. For a little while, all is well. The reality is suspended for a few blissful hours which helps to ease the knowledge that chances like these were few and far-between and there was no guarantee that either of them would come back from whatever mission they were sent on.
