Goku silently stalked through the halls of Capsule Corp., his ki suppressed as he treaded lightly down the corridor. He was supposed to be in Otherworld, sleeping like everybody else, but he couldn't sleep.

He couldn't stop thinking of Vegeta.

~ Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long ~

He couldn't stay for too long, knowing his luck, another Angel would go looking for him for one reason or another and find his bed empty.

They would find he had used his Instant transmission to go back to Earth. They knew he could, but they had trusted him not to.

But he didn't intend to stay that long, just long enough to watch Vegeta sleep for a few moments. That was why he'd come. He wanted to see Vegeta...

~ All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid ~

His breath hitched slightly as he reached the door of Vegeta's room. The lights were off and it looked like the door was locked.

He lifted two fingers to his head again. He'd only be two seconds; he just wanted to see how Vegeta looked when asleep.

`He probably looks so cute when he's relaxed...' Goku mused, pausing. `Maybe I shouldn't go in...what if he's awake? What if I wake him up?'

He frowned. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. After all, he was betraying King Yemma's trust and if Vegeta saw him...

`I'll only be in there a few seconds! I'm already here now...if I'm caught, I'm caught...but...I...I only...I only want to see him again...just once...just see his face again...just for a moment...'

His desire took over him and he faded out...

~ Can you hear me? ~

Fading back in on the other side of the door.

He looked around the room, his eyes finally resting on the figure on the bed. His breath caught in his chest.

Bare tan skin on black sheets. He blinked to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. Vegeta's bare tan skin. Illuminated by the moonlight shining in through the window...defining each curve...each muscle of Vegeta's body. Vegeta stretched slightly in his sleep and turned over, giving Goku a good view of his ass.

Goku breathed out a shaky breath.

"Vegeta..." He whispered softly. The figure on the bed moved slightly.

"Ka...Kakarott...?" Goku froze. Was Vegeta waking up?

"Vegeta...can you hear me?" He whispered, drawing closer to the bed. He got mere feet from Vegeta and leaned down to study his face.

~ Can you feel me in your arms? ~

Vegeta's eyes snapped open and he stared at Goku in wonder.

"Kakarott? What are you doing here?"

The other Saiyan blushed and stumbled backwards, trying to think of a reply, not once taking his eyes off of him. Vegeta looked into those eyes and saw concealed desires...and lust.

"I...I came here...t-to s-see you...V-Vegeta..." Goku stammered. Vegeta swallowed audibly.

"Why?" He whispered softly, uncertain if he really wanted to know.

~ Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself ~

"I...love you..." Goku whispered, almost silently, looking into Vegeta's deep glittering black eyes to see nothing but confusion.

"What...did you just say?"

"I-I...I love you..." Goku whispered, louder than before as he tore his eyes away from the Prince's. He didn't want to see what would happen, how Vegeta felt in return...he probably hated him. He turned his head away, dreading what would happen next.

"Y-You what?" He looked back at Vegeta to see his face shocked and slightly pale. He looked down and felt his face heat up. Vegeta wasn't covered. He stared at the floor near his feet.

~ Are all my thoughts of you ~

"I...I love you Vegeta...ever since we first met...even though you were trying to kill me...even though you hated me...I loved you." Goku paused and licked his lips nervously. "I...haven't been able to think of anything else...not in a long time..."

He closed his eyes and fidgeted nervously, anxious for Vegeta to do something, say something...

"Y-You...love me?" Goku's head snapped back up and his eyes locked with Vegeta's. They were blank, void of emotion. Goku didn't know what to say. Was Vegeta mad?

He dared to move closer, climbing onto the bed and reaching out a hand to touch Vegeta's face. Vegeta didn't move. Goku decided to take a chance and stroked Vegeta's cheek softly. Vegeta's eyes closed and a quiet moan slipped out of his lips.

"Yes...I love you Vegeta..."

~ Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight ~

Before he knew what was happening, Vegeta had pulled himself away from his touch and pushed him off the bed. Goku sat up and looked at him in despair...but his eyes widened as he saw Vegeta's face.

He was crying.

"Are you here to mock me?" Vegeta sobbed. "Do you hate me so much that you'd have to lie to me?" He roughly wiped a tear from his eye. "Who put you up to this?"

"Wh-What?" Goku asked, confused.

"Who put you up to this? Or did you just choose to come back and lie to me?" Vegeta cried.
