The weather on planet Vegeta was unbelievably pleasant that day; the suns were out and there was little wind to speak of. It was warm, but not humid and there was barely a cloud in sight; the red sky soothing to gaze upon.
On the streets, there were many young Saiyans having sparring matches and indulging in violent games whilst the older citizens were preparing to get ready for the event being held later that evening. Inside the large palace occupied by the royal family, Turles sighed as he adjusted his formal guard wear.
Today was the celebration of the engagement between prince Vegeta and his partner Kakarott; an elite soldier who had built his way up from third class in mere months. Handsome and charming, the citizens had said he was the perfect match for Vegeta, and had all bestowed their blessings on the pair, much to the King's delight. Kakarott was even rumoured to be the legendary super Saiyan they had been waiting for a thousand years earlier due to his huge power increases.
As far as the public and family were aware, the two had been courting for four months now, since Kakarott had gained his elite status, but they were wrong. The relationship between them had been going on for at least a year in secret prior to the promotion, with them meeting in small secluded areas. The only people to have known were Turles himself, and Nappa, who was the prince's personal guard that covered for Vegeta's absences well.
Kakarott had been one of his friends for as long as he could remember, and he had tried to support him in any way possible. He gave tips on where the quieter pubs were, where the two could be alone without any kind of interruptions, and sometimes he even stood watch outside the buildings protectively. Often Turles had lent the two his room for privacy and had gone out elsewhere. He had come back to fresh sheets and them acting like teenagers; hair wet from a shower, their actions quite obvious.
Ever since they had started their affair, he had helped them every step of the way. But it now seemed unreal; he had never expected Kakarott to get to that status or for their relationship to ever come into the open. What he had expected was for the prince to marry someone else and date him in secret until they were discovered and punished for it. Nappa had seemed to have the same idea as well; the bald Saiyan had been in a daze since they had announced their relationship, and kept falling back into the habit of trying to cover up for Vegeta.
Turles didn't blame him for it, either. He himself had been lapsing into the past, but was slowly getting used to the idea and had adapted more or less to the new lifestyle the two had.
Publicly, he supported the two perhaps the most out of anyone else on the planet. He was the first to congratulate them and offer any help he could possibly give, and he had told the ones who disagreed to shut up. And for all his help, they had asked him to be their best man.
But in private, he was in love with prince Vegeta.
And he could never tell him.
