Just Don't Leave Again
"Kakarot, wait!" He turns to look back at me, those beautiful brown eyes shining.
"Y-yeah, what is it Vegeta?" Oh Gods, I swallow, trying to get control of myself. How could I tell him? I had to make my world stop spinning first. He's there, in front of me, waiting patiently for me to spit it out. I don't want to spend the holidays alone, and I'd die before anyone knew that. Still, I want to spend the holidays with the younger Saiyan.
I had no idea how to tell him though. Dammit, I wish he knew, ever since Buu, ever since the monster Cell even I've wanted to tell him. To tell Kakarot... how madly in love with him I was.
I'd known, Gods how long? It became harder to control each day. What I'd give just to spend any amount of time with him! Now was my chance, the idiot woman had gone on vacation with her parents and Kakarot's wife was taking Gohan and his girl to do something I couldn't remember exactly. I wanted to tell him, Gods I wanted to so badly. I needed Kakarot. I needed him in my life just to stay on my own two feet. But I knew he'd never feel the same as me, after all, he was Kakarot. He'd probably take it as a joke or stick to the foolish Earth customs he'd been raised by.
I find myself forgetting how to breathe when he wraps him arms around me, enveloping me in a gesture I don't understand.
"Geta, of course! I can't wait, I-" Then he releases me quickly and I open my eyes trying to get ahold of myself.
"I... Gods Vegeta, I-I'm sorry!" He babbles quickly and I know he wishes he could take it back. I look at him curiously. Why did he apologize? I had wanted that for so long! Why did he want to take it back? An act of physical contact that wasn't just fighting, one that actually could mean something. But not if he didn't want it to by wishing it hadn't happened. I cup his cheek gently, not wanting to force him.
"Kakarot? Kakarot, you should not be sorry. It was my fault... for not..." I feel his eyes on my sadly when I turn my gaze away from his. I instantly turn back to the taller Saiyan when I feel his hand lightly tipping my chin up to press his lips against mine. They flutter closed at the passion of the kiss. I allow a gentle tongue to slide passed my lips, he sucks on mine and I moan with pleasure. Then he pulls away and I feel like something's left me. He looks into my eyes and I look into his chocolate ones. He lets his thumb glide over my cheek as I look up at him in wonder.
"Kakarot...?" He presses a soft finger to my lips, still smiling at me.
"Oh, Gods Vegeta, I love you." My eyes widen and he lets me fall into his shoulder.
"Please, Kakarot. Just... don't leave me again, please!" He murmurs soothing things and gently feathers fingers over my back, resting it on my head finally.
"Shh, it's alright. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay with you as long as you need me to, okay?" I nod into his shoulder, tears leaving my eyes at the relief, the happiness that I feel then. And I tell him into his shoulder, barely above a whisper-
"I love you, Kakarot." He holds me tighter as his fingers runs through my spikes as he assures me-
"I love you Vegeta." And I know then, that I won't have to be alone anymore.
