Note: I mellowed a bit in this chapter. That's why I put 'a love story' in the title after all. In this chapter you will know why Vegeta's medical record and truth have different result. Someone is controlling his action (^_^)

Part 9 Vegeta confession part 2
Goku was headed straight Vegeta room. He got a call from Bulma that Vegeta would leave hospital today so he wanted to give him a hand. Chichi went along with him. As usual Chichi wanted to make sure that there's nothing between his boyfriend and Bulma. Goku considered Chichi possessive behavior as a cute spot of her. Goku almost opened the door when he heard Vegeta's voice.
Goku suddenly stopped his move and Chichi hit his back.
"It had started since I entered the elementary school," Vegeta spoke in his usual tone. Cold and bitter.
Learning the situation fast, Goku decided not to enter the room. It wasn't the right time to interrupt the pair conversation. Besides, it would be nice for overhearing them. Goku grabbed Chichi's hand and stepped back from the door.
"Sttt, listen Chichi, let's stay here for a while okay? I find this will be interesting."
"But Goku, this is not right…. We shouldn't eavesdrop someone conversation," Chichi replied.
"Of course we aren't eavesdropping on their conversation. We just have to find the right time to enter Vegeta's room by overhearing them." Goku moved closer to the door and Chichi finally gave up. She followed his idea.
"Since I had been in elementary, I have had this fucking Frieza who always tries to hurt me most." Vegeta's voice was trembling with fear. "He used to play with me for torturing me. He has treated me like dirt."
Goku knew exactly who the person Vegeta was talking about. He and Frieza had shared several bad memories long time ago.
He quivered a bit remembering those moments. That shit had tried to kiss him when he was a little innocent child. Frieza also had offered him chocolate when he had come in February. So on and so on. However, what freaking maniac had done to Vegeta?
Somehow Goku didn't hear Vegeta's voice anymore. He was so curious to death. In the end, he decided to take a peep on the key hole. Goku saw Bulma wrapped Vegeta and kissed him. It had been a long and lingering kiss.
Goku opened him mouth furiously. How could you Bulma? Darn, just when thing went cozy! Come on, release him and let him talk…. Whew, that move makes me turn on…
"What are they doing? I heard nothing, Goku," Chichi asked. She made Goku jumped a bit. He took a deep breath before answering.
"They are just…. They're just packing Vegeta's stuff…. It surely takes time, right?"
Chichi nodded, "I see."
Oh, dear. Fortunately Chichi didn't ask me further. She'll think I've been a voyeurism fan. Damn, I know Jeffrey feeling when he had this in Blue Velvet.
"Goku, I think I'll wait in the lobby, okay? I don't want to hear this anymore. It's too personal."
"Oh? You do? Fine, see you then." Good job Chichi! This isn't nice girl stuff!
Then Goku heard Vegeta's voice again. At this time his voice was aching and painful. Goku put himself closer to the door. He didn't want to miss a thing.
"He and his gang always hit me and pretended that I was the one who asked them to fight. Later on he took me in his gang. It had been against my will but I hardly refused him. He ordered me to do many crazy things or he would ask his father to kill me."
Bulma understood Vegeta medical record was false document. He had never wanted to hurt people in the first place.
"He forced you to do that? Haven't you told this to anyone?"
"I had no friend in my life. Besides, none could stop him. "Vegeta voice became hoarse.
Bulma could feel his pain. He was forcing himself to explain his life to her.
"That condition had become worse since both of us play basket. Frieza, his gang, and me, had played street basket brutally. We ended up attacking and hurting our foes. You had seen Dodoria, hadn't you? Frieza had told me to killed him and I've left him dying. I deserved his revenge after all…"
"Vegeta, you don't have to explain this to me if you can't," Bulma pleaded on him.
Goku was shocked hearing Bulma comment. He had never wanted to do something bad Bulma, but this time he really wanted knocking her out. What are you saying Bulma! This is a damn good story and I want more!
"No, I have to tell you this… I really have…."
Goku's face became happy. That's great Vegeta! You've just made my day! Stay out of this silly girl!
"Last year I had enough of that nasty thing. I had refused his order playing street basket in that way. He had done something with my car brake. And guess what? I ended up in hospital for long time."
Bulma knew that was the time Vegeta had been coma and paralyzed for months. She hugged him. "That's okay. Everything would be fine."
"Everything would be fine if I've met my end."
"I hate you, dammit. Don't you ever say something like that!"
"Are you out of your mind? Don't you feel worried to be with me? Bulma, in the end, no matter what Frieza had ordered to me, I had done many terrible things with my hands."
Bulma smiled and looked him directly in his eyes, "do you still want to hurt other?"
Vegeta was stunned. He loved to fight. Frieza that fuck and his gang continuous beats had made him loves fight, but not hurting people.
"Well, if they don't try me then I won't."
"Then, Vegeta, I won't let you away from me."
Goku shed his tears. With this kind of explanation Vegeta deserved a forever friendship from him. How Vegeta could say that he had none to trust? Vegeta had him! As soon as Vegeta got better shape he would ask him to play basket. He would also face Frieza and fight him if he had to.
However, Goku felt ashamed entering Vegeta room with tears around his face. He waited outside, hoping that Vegeta and Bulma would come out soon. He would pretend that he just came to help them.
Vegeta tried to hide his smile when Bulma wrapped him. He had no idea since when that big- mouthed Bulma had stolen his heart. He also couldn't figure out why he should fall in love with her. That's was a complete mystery.
"Bulma…."
"What? Did I hurt you? Sorry, I didn't realize that I hug you too tight."
"No… I just consider you as a moron."
"What?"
"You are a complete moron. I hate you because you make me feel this fuck tickling inside my stomach."
"Why? That's called fucking in love," Bulma laughed, "Damn, how could you be this funny?"
Goku laughed behind the door. He remembered a quote Chichi had given to him last year. Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's called falling in love, because you don't force yourself to fall, you just fall.
All of the sudden Goku felt something terrible behind his back. It felt like fire.
He turned his head and screamed, "What are you doing here?"
There, Frieza and his friends were standing. Frieza had a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He licked his thick purple lips and threw a wicked smile.
"I heard that my best friend Vegeta is hospitalized. I come to visit him."
"You can't do that… You…," Goku couldn't conceal his hatred toward Frieza. Vegeta's best friend? Fuck him!
Frieza didn't change much in these years. He still kept his long hair and thick lips dyed with purple color. His eyes were sharp and dark.
"Darn, I know you…. You are my first love… Go… Goku, right?" Frieza smile was wider and he came closer. Goku held his breath in terror.
"It's my lucky day… I find my first love and my best friend in one day…"
