Trunks jumped happily around the living room. "Awesome that dad is back home!" he screamed too anxious to stay put. "Tell me again how Goku and you destroyed Buu" he demanded of his father. "I've told you that many times already". Vegeta couldn't resist but to smile. The whole time coming back home the boy had bombed him with questions what had happened after he and Goten had been absorbed by Buu. Again and again Trunks had asked to hear the story so he could be sure that he hadn't miss even one little detail.
Bulma had been quiet the whole time and hadn't commented even with a single word what her son and her husband had been talking about. "Ok, Trunks. Let your father breath for a second". Bulma finally said when they had arrived back home. "Go to the shower. You stink. Both of you. I will fix you dinner in the meantime. You must be hungry". "Ok, come dad!". Trunks screamed and was already running towards the bathroom. "In the minute, son" Vegeta answered and turned around to look Bulma who desperately tried to control herself by doing something useful. Vegeta had noticed Bulma´s silent behavior on the way home. What was wrong with that woman? Wasn't she happy to she that his man was alive? Or was she still thinking about what happened at the World Tournament. "Bulma…"
"Leave me alone!" she answered to him furiously. Bulma turned around shaking. Her face were all wet from the tears. "You are crying" Vegeta said amazed. "How could you?!" Bulma´s eyes sparkled with anger. He attacked Vegeta and furiously beat her fists at Vegeta´s muscular chest. "How could you live us? Without saying goodbye, all alone without anyone to protect us".
Vegeta circled his hands around her holding the woman close to him. "Trunks is a strong boy. He would have taken care of you". he whispered calmly to her ear. "But he is just a little boy" Bulma answered rising her teary eyes towards her husbands dark ones. "Younger than Gohan was when Goku died".
"Be size" Bulma continued after seeing Vegeta turning his head away after hearing Kakarot´s name mentioned. "I wouldn't have been able to live without you". Vegeta turned his face back to his wife. "You are the most arrogant, selfish and annoying person in the whole world…but still I love you. I don't want anyone but you". Bulma looked Vegeta´s reaction. She knew that she would never hear him say those three little words, but she was waiting for some kind of sign that he felt the same way.
Vegeta´s head was full of thoughts. That was it. The woman had missed him. And had been ready to forget all the bad things that he had done, just to get him back. Vegeta leaned towards his wife and kissed her on the mouth gently and then more passionately.
He broke down from the kiss and looked in to Bulma´s eyes gently. Bulma stared to Vegeta´s hot eyes and gasped suddenly. Those eyes that normally were full of pride and anger looked her ever so gently. Vegeta has never looked at me like that. The Pride Prince's eyes were full emotions that he would never say aloud. But he didn't have to. Bulma knew now. Better than ever before. They leaned for another kiss that was more passionate than the one before.
Meanwhile Trunks had started to wonder what took his father so long and went to look for him. He stopped at the kitchens door and saw his parents wrapped to each other. "Way to go dad" Trunks said laughing and left quietly back to the bathroom.
