A Passion Kind of Thing

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ, or any of the products mentioned in this fic. "Why don't you love me?" Is not by me, (obviously) It's by Amanda Marshall.

A/N: Yes, yes. The tittle isn't creative at all, and it must have been used a billion times. And since I'm not sure if this fic will end here, I didn't want to call it "why don't you love me." Because there, may be other songs in possible future chapters. Anyway! Hope you enjoy.

Song: Ah, yes. This song always reminded me of Bulma and Vegeta...Well...it made me think of every relationship that includes moody men (or women, although I can't think of any. Most Anime girls seemed to be remotely cheerful! ^_^)...Heero...Wufei... maybe even Syaoran..You know.. Especially the verse: " We've got a fundamental difference, in matters of emotion."

But it mostly reminded me of B/V...because...well, I don't know...*sigh* The song just fit that couple the best! There we go...very nice, complex, reason.

_____________________________________________________________________________

It was a passion kind of thing. Yeah, right.

It might have started that way. Two people, each one alien to the other, drawn to each other by the one thing they shared in common that day. Greif.

Bulma, heart broken over Yamcha.

Vegeta, confused, lost, and alone.

It hadn't been at all what Bulma had expected. She had expected him to be rough, unkind. And she was very surprised that for one night, he let his pride drop, never being sarcastic or smug. Never. Not once.

But it wasn't exactly the kind of thing two lovers shared, because Vegeta and Bulma weren't lovers. But it was close enough, so blinded by loneliness, that all they tried to do was make the other happy.

Well, that didn't last long.

He was gone in the morning, most likely training, and Bulma ignored the hurt bubbling inside her, as she cooked his usual breakfast. What more had she expected? That he would change some how? Be different than the Vegeta she had grown to love?

Wait...love?

What a word to describe her situation.

He watched her when her back was turned, but rejected Bulma's forced happiness. The hurt was growing stronger, and Bulma was falling. Not so much in love, but for desperation of this man's attention.

****************************************

Why am I lonely?
You're sitting right here
Why am I talking?
It's like I'm talking to the air
What am I looking for?
It just isn't there..

****************************************

It was when she found out she was pregnant, that things got a little complicated..

A little complicated? Hah!

Fear named Bulma's heart. Would Vegeta accept this? Would he accept a half blood son? Not that she would call Vegeta a bad person, but she did not know much about Saiya-jin customs, or what Vegeta was raised to believe. Goku had Gohan, but Goku was raised as an Earthling. If Vegeta left, Goku had his own son to worry about. She wouldn't be able to raise a child by herself, especially a Saiya-jin.

Fear was something she had not felt around Vegeta for a long while. Soon, fear turned to anger. Instead of trying to talk to him, she took it out on him.

"You're ruining my life!"

Vegeta, stood and gripped her upper arms.

"Woman, what is WRONG with you?"

****************************************

Why am I angry?
I'm hurtin'..it's so bad
Why am I missin'
What we never really had?

And why don't you love me
the way I love you..
Why don't you feel things
as deep as I do?

We've got a fundamental difference
in matters of emotion
but I need to feel you need me
like a river needs an ocean
baby, why don't you love me?
******************************************

She never could lie to him.

Even when they had hated eachother..

And now that he had asked, she had to tell him.

"I'm pregnant."

His eyes widened, and he stared at her.

She took a step back. She knew he would never hit her, but there was something about his power that could frighten her when he was angry. His eyes flashed.

What was that? Pride? Anger? She could never tell with him.

"How long have you known?"

He didn't have to ask. He knew it was his.

"A month." She whispered.

His eyes hardened. Was that hurt?

"Well," he turned. "You've done a very good job of hiding it from me."

"I don't.."

But he had turned, and flew out her bedroom window, holding his pride and anger, and his dreams of becoming more powerful

***********************************
Who am I kiddin', baby?
It wasn't meant to be
but you wanted a believer
and I needed to believe.
*********************************

Not this. Never this.

Three months. Three, long, months.

Her pregnancy was starting to show, and Bulma was harnessing side effects that she couldn't handle. She needed Vegeta, in more ways than one.

She knew he was upset, and Vegeta could space himself from her for days at a time. But she had always found him if he had not come back to her.

He was often angry or annoyed with her, the reasons often escaped her, and there were times where she felt like she would crack with frustration. But it was the times where he let his guard down, that made it all worth it.

He pushed her away when she tried to get close, and she didn't know if it was a male thing, or if it was a saiya-jin thing.. It had occurred to her that he was spacing himself because he had feelings for her. But at that time it had seemed absolutely ridiculous.

*****************************
For every wall you built around you
I learned a bran new way to fly
and if I couldn't be your angel
I would have found a way to fly

Why don't you love me?
The way I love you
and why don't you feel things
as deep as I do?

We've got a fundamental difference
in matters of emotion
but I need to feel you need me
like a river needs an ocean
baby, why don't you love me?

*****************************

She had tried to be mean to him, bully him, anything to get a response. But it didn't last, because Vegeta had a way to make her feel stupid if he wanted to. And he used it quite often. Knowing Goku as the saiya-jin he was, she was used to having to explain things to him. But with Vegeta it was different. He matched her wit for wit, he KNEW her, strangely, in a way Goku didn't.

*****************************
I don't understand you
what's it take to make you cry?
And if leaving you don't break you
than baby, what's it matter why?
*****************************

But he had never been gone this long. She watched the sky from her bedroom window, scanning the sky for a golden light. She supposed he could be frightened. It was, a child, after all, and she had no idea how much experience Vegeta had with children, if he had any. but the thought of him out there somewhere..filled her with panic.

Oh, she knew he could protect himself. But what scared her, was that she didn't know if he was ever coming back. What was she going to do? She knew nothing about raising children, nothing about raising a saiya-jin, and she knew she wouldn't be able to do it without a father. She wouldn't do it without the man she loved.

Abortion wasn't an option, she wouldn't even considerate it. She supposed she could put it up for adoption, but she was a grown woman, had no valid excuse. It would break her heart. She already felt a strange bond with the baby in her stomach, as undeveloped as it might be. And if Vegeta did return, he would be even more angry if she had done any of those two things. It would be cowardice.

"Oh, Vegeta," She whispered. "I love you."

Can you tell me why, baby?

****************************
And suddenly, he was there, floating in the window, much like he had that first night.

"Vegeta.." she whispered.

He landed in front of her, his eyes slightly lowered as he looked at her.

"Vegeta..I." she started.

He kissed her.
To be decided....

______________________________________________________________________________

To be decided....how incredible original of me! *sigh* Anyways, I need your opinion, folks!

I was thinking of maybe doing several chapters, following along the story line of the androids, and the tournament, and Buu and all that, with different songs or maybe just normal chapters.

Or I could leave it at this, just as it is, and let you imagine what comes next.

Let me know, in a review, which one you'd like. It could go either way, I don't know, but I want your opinions...
Please Review!
