Chapter Summary- Krillin has to go home and Vegeta panics because he still a coward while Bulma watches on the sidelines of this mess but maybe they can still fix this…hopefully.

When Vegeta woke up first, he was facing the still sleeping Krillin. The human must have slid closer during the night because the prince could feel warm breath ticking his nose. Krillin was still sleeping on his arms, snuggled into his folds of his arm, a little smile on his face. Vegeta has his own smile, he didn't think that he would enjoy being this close to a person. Whatever Krillin has done to him is putting a feeling inside of him, he just didn't know how he should feel about it.

But right now, he wouldn't mind seeing this every morning.

Thought, this couldn't last. He had to go train. Vegeta couldn't stay here with Krillin, not even when everything was telling him to be right here and just watch the human sleep. The moving in his chest and stomach when he thought of sleepy Krillin was…strange to feel if he was being honest. And honestly, it was the first time that he truly didn't want to even go training. The notion to be better than Kakarot and the need to be super saiyan was pushing him to his limits and was the only thing that mattered to him.

Then Krillin had to give him something he hadn't had and now he was thinking something else. So, earth was the place where plans go to die but it wasn't that didn't seem to be a bad thing, he may actually get use to if he's allowed to.

A small noise broke through his thoughts and he looked back to see Krillin squirming a little before moving even closer to the saiyan, startling Vegeta as the human now laid on his chest. Now, happy with his position, Krillin settled and hummed. Krillin wasn't the only one humming as Vegeta's butterflies were singing in delight and he couldn't blame them. Just the feeling of warm skin on top of his was giving him what he needed, what he wanted from someone. This is what he wanted from Krillin

His hands now found themselves wrapped around the human's upper back and he preened at the feeling of Krillin before deciding, that he would stay. It didn't hurt him to not train for one morning, besides, Bulma did say he would have to rest. She should be happy; he was actually listening to her since he got here. He felt Krillin sigh against him and snuggle himself even more into Vegeta and it just filled him more justification. Perhaps this wasn't the most worst decision that prince has made in long while. Good, he needed a win.

Bulma was shocked when she noticed the gravity room was empty, she knew that it was well past Vegeta's training session. She only knew his schedule that on the dot because sometimes she watched him, it was how she stayed awake after not sleeping for a few days.

So, she was now on her way to his room to make sure he hadn't died because that would be only reason her guest would miss a session. She was pretty sure that you could sleep on a concussion, Goku's done it before and he turned out fine. Physically that is.

Usually she would check on Krillin on her way down but making sure that Vegeta wasn't died was a bit more a priority. Well she ended up killing two birds with one stone because this is the second time that her guests were on the verge of making her puke from cuteness.

This was honestly the first time, noticing the size difference between the two of them, as seeing Krillin getting engulfed by Vegeta was amusing. Seeing her alien headache snuggling anyone was funny in general.

She leaned against the door watching them, thinking that for someone who doesn't have a good handle on how to talk to Krillin, he sure look pretty happy with being in bed with him. Bulma snickered at that little joke, she had her best jokes sleep deprived.

Also, her friend looked so comfortable, actually she has never seen Krillin smile in his sleep like that. It was really precious to see.

"What is it woman?" Bulma jumped when she heard that, when she looked closer at the bed to, she saw Vegeta staring at her. He was awake, well that surprised her. The scientist was pretty sure that both of them were asleep.

And now her guest has to go and ruin a sweet moment with his awful attitude, the rude gremlin that he was.

She glared at him, "I was checking up on you asshole because you weren't in the gravity chamber this morning but now, I see you were busy elsewhere." Krillin made another noise and she watched Vegeta rub his back; making her raise her eyebrow at that.

"How did he even get here last night, I'm pretty sure I watched him go to his room last night." When she last talked to her friend, it was in the kitchen after a certain dumbass decided to pattycake with a drone, his head as the weapon of choice.

At least her guest knew to look embarrassed before staring back down back at Krillin, "He came to visit me after I got hurt, he brought me soup." Vegeta's voice was soft and a small smile started to form, "I asked him to stay the night and he agreed. He wanted to stay with me."

Oh God, Vegeta had it bad. Never in her entire life did she think that she would see him this smitten with anyone but Krillin was definitely low on the list.

"Have you told him yet?" Vegeta stiffened at that and that was enough answer for Bulma. She sighed and ran a hand through her tangled hair, "Come on Vegeta, what are you waiting for? You literally have him in your bed, what the hell are you waiting for—"

"I don't know!" Vegeta shouted before lowering his voice when he heard Krillin mutter and squirm in his sleep, "I just…can't do it, I just can't." The human stopped moving and remained cuddled into Vegeta and that was not helping anything.

Bulma rolled her eyes, "Wow, I don't believe it, the mighty Vegeta is scared of being rejected." She just really had to poke the bear, didn't she?

Vegeta sat up at that, "I am not—" He looked back down when he heard a drawn-out whine and froze. Krillin was now holding him by the waist, still curled tightly him but not disturbed. The prince gave a sigh and his eyes found Bulma, "Listen woman, we can talk later alright? You can berate me later but let me to have this, will you allow me that?"

He watched the woman open her mouth and shut it, it looked as if she was thinking and then she finally spoke, "Fine, we'll talk later then." She then turned on her heels and opened the door, "And Vegeta, just…talk to him. I'm sure the answer that you'll get will surprise you."

With that, she left, leaving the both of them alone. The prince felt himself relax, know that he had evaded Bulma trying to be supportive to him for the short time he had. He really didn't want to hear how right the woman was about him because deep down, he was afraid.

Krillin made another noise, getting him out his thoughts. The human was still holding him by his waist and somehow completely asleep. To think he was this much of a deep sleeper was beyond Vegeta, but he liked it.

The saiyan stroked his back, getting another a sigh from the human. He gave a small smile and laid back down, shifting Krillin again. Now he was back on his chest and Vegeta was happy with that.

He looked down and hummed, "You are doing things to me, little human." He used his other hand to stroke the man's head, "Maybe Bulma is right, I should just tell you and get this over it." Vegeta wrapped an arm around the human.

"Perhaps you do feel the same way and that all this cat and mouse is tedious, and you can be mine in just a few words." Vegeta couldn't help but imagine if Krillin liked him back, he didn't think he would be able to control himself. He would have to mark the human as his.

Saiyans by nature were territorial, it didn't matter what it was, if they wanted something, they got it. They were also known for scenting anything that was theirs, and the included people. Vegeta didn't think that he could stop himself from scenting the human, marking him as his. He already could feel himself on the edge of giving in and showing anyone who he belonged.

Having the human this close to him was not doing him any favors. Just smelling him was driving him a bit loopy and knowing that all he had to do was rub all over him and he'll be the prince's was making Vegeta question things.

Still stroking his head, he looked over the to the clock and saw it was thirty minutes after five, odd, it felt like longer. It was fine though, he could train later in the day, after Krillin woke up. Speaking of sleep since he had no reasons to be up this early and talking with Bulma always exhausted him, he should probably go back to sleep.

He did one more look over to the human in his arms, who was still dead to the world. "Well at least this morning had some good come out of it." To make his point, the human hummed and seem to nod in his sleep. "Nice to know that you agree with me Krillin."

The prince moved once more to get comfortable before placing his chin on top of Krillin's head, "I say we deal with this later; don't you think Krillin?" He got another noise and he took that as a yes as well.

"Glad we are on the same page."

~STARS~

This is the last time that I'm doing anything nice for that jackass. Bulma was tired of being the only smart one when it came to relationships because this was tiring and Vegeta was a stubborn mule of a saiyan.

She didn't get it, how could someone who can open their mouth any other time, drop the ball this hard when it came to their feelings. It was mind boggling to see Vegeta literally squirm and tip toe, when usually goes into things headfirst with just sheer determination. It gave her such major whiplash.

Also, what he was feeling for her friend seemed so genuine that it was strange, it didn't seem like a fling that was going away. If anything, from what she saw today, it was only becoming more intense. The way Vegeta looked at him when he was holding Krillin, he seemed so happy. When he talked about him, it was as if nothing else matters.

For goodness sake, he was rubbing his back and making sure that them discussing wouldn't wake up Krillin up. He even stopped himself from yelling at her, which was a shock for her because Vegeta never misses an opportunity to go at it with her. That was a sight to see. Maybe Krillin should be here more often, it'll save her a headache.

But that is now what important; she'll say it again, Vegeta had it bad. Dear God, she didn't know what would happen if Krillin said no. Alright no, let's not think like that and besides, it was obvious that they liked each other. She knew that was the case. They were just ducking dumb.

And Krillin has no idea, which she really wasn't surprised at. Her childhood friend was terrible at knowing romantic interest; even when it was right in his face. Like you know, a guy asking him to spend the night in his room, in any language would translate to 'I like you.'

But no, she has to befriend an idiot. Krillin probably just thought that Vegeta was being nice to him, and he was, but for an entirely different reason. He wanted Krillin and if he wasn't such a little bitch then they maybe together.

Whatever, those two can deal with each other because she was planning on sleeping for the next few hours. At least with Krillin coming over, Vegeta was distracted from destroying the gravity chamber because he was too busy pining after him.

Hope they enjoy their cuddle session; they did look cute like that. Maybe Vegeta will grow balls after it and can stop being a pest to me. She yawned right on cue. This girl needs her beauty sleep and thinking about emotionally stunned men will only make this headache worst.

Bulma just wanted her house back at this point.

For the first time in a while, Krillin felt…good. He usually has trouble falling asleep, even as a child, it got worst ever since he got back from dying. Both deaths left him feeling some kind of a way (a negative way that is), they both were horrible in their own rights as they should.

Thought his death with Frieza, was the most hated one for him. It may have something to do with the large ass scar on his chest that even with Dende's healing powers, didn't go away fully. That was the only death that left him with both physical and mental damage and he hate it. Then being blown up dangling in the air as no one could help him, was great to remember as you try to sleep.

He actually would just stay up all night with the sharp pain on his chest coming and going as his only source of comfort. Sitting there alone in a dark room as thoughts of just how weak he was that he couldn't even defend himself plagued him until the sun came up. God, he didn't miss that shit and even though it was a year later, it was hard to think that was how he felt.

But as he laid in bed with Vegeta, he didn't worry about sleep, which was a first. And as he slept, he wasn't seeing any monsters in his sleep, just Vegeta. Dream Vegeta in his sleep was smiling at him, speaking softly to him. He had this dream before, them laying out somewhere together and he would feel all warm inside. The saiyan would be holding his hand, telling him something that Krillin never could make out but he didn't care.

Vegeta was here with him and that's all that mattered. His dreams ever since their first night out have been about the saiyan and they were always pleasant for him, also making him see a different side to Vegeta. He wasn't like the saiyan he had dealt with his first time on Earth and Namek, who was violate and really hard to be around. In his dreams, he was nicer and a bit kinder, not by a lot but definitely more easy to talk to.

But all good things must come to an end because he could himself waking up and he hated that feeling. He didn't want it to fade away, this feeling of warm that made colors pop in and out of his vision. Oh wait, that may have been sun.

When he finally opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that he was laying on something firm, but it felt so familiar. That's when he felt something around his back, and it had a strong grip on him. When he tried to wiggle, the grip got tighter and he finally looked up.

Well seeing the sleeping face of Vegeta was not what he was expecting to wake up to. And that's when he noticed why what he was sleeping on was so comforting to him, it was the saiyan's chest. Oh, damn it all to hell!

How did he even get in this close to him in the first place, he was pretty sure that they were a few feet away from each other when he fell asleep. Krillin never had a problem when it came to moving in the night, he usually stayed in one place but no, he just couldn't be normal even in his sleep around the prince.

And by the way he was being held, he wasn't being let go anytime soon. So, he was stuck until the prince woke up, wait—

Didn't Vegeta train early in the morning, so why was he still in bed? He couldn't have possible missed his training session unless something was really wrong, he must have been still sore from the injury yesterday. When he saw him last night, it didn't seem that bad but hey Vegeta was full of surprises, wasn't he?

He looked back up at that sleeping face and he couldn't help but smile. The saiyan actually looked peaceful while he was slumbering, the traditional scowl etched on his face was replaced a relaxed look. If he looked closer, he would say that Vegeta looked younger. If the prince didn't already look attractive enough and Krillin was forced to look at it until the saiyan had his beauty sleep, great.

Wait, what time was it? Judging by how the sun was beaming through the blinds, it was still morning. So, it was still pretty early, well maybe on the average human time, not saiyan time; that meant Vegeta should wake up pretty soon. It wasn't like Krillin was going to poke a sleeping bear, he could get up at his own speed.

Krillin sighed and tried to move himself as far as possible. He made it about a few inches away before the grip became tight again and that was far enough for him. The human watched Vegeta's face scrunch up and he stiffened when a grunt came from the saiyan. Suddenly he was being pulled forward and right back on Vegeta's chest, well that was fucking useless.

Resisting the urge to pout, he felt the grip on him relax and when he glanced up at him, the prince's face was back to a neutral. Since his plan failed, he really did have no choice but to stay, didn't he? Fuck him, he guessed?

I never expected you for the cuddling type Vegeta, but I guess I really don't know you, do I? The saiyan's face never changed and he seemed content, so there was a bright side to this. And Krillin was comfortable, and despite his complaints were minimum—not zero-but wasn't a bad thing.

He poked the saiyan in the chest, "You know, you can be really cute when you're not being an ass, which is completely unfair by the way." When he didn't get a response, he hummed, "Well I can't really say that now, you haven't been an ass since I've stayed here."

Krillin then frowned, "Actually, ever since I've got here, you've been really nice to me since we went out again." He rested a hand on Vegeta's arm, sliding his fingertips against tough skin, "I don't know what changed but I would be lying if I said I didn't like it."

The human's fingers made their way up a muscular arm before resting full palm on his shoulders, stroking his arm in a lazy motion.

"And to be honest Vegeta, I really like you. I know you'll never like me, but I just can't help it, you make feel…something."

Krillin leaned against his chest despite his better judgment, "You do things to me that I really don't know how to explain but you just make me want you and I know that's not even a possibility to want me back but its how I feel."

A small laugh followed, "It's silly isn't it." You're talking to a sleeping man Krillin, you're far past silly. Maybe he was but couldn't bring himself to care at this point, besides, it wasn't like anything will come from a confession.

Another sound was heard and Krillin looked up to see a scowl form on the saiyan's face before Vegeta opened his eyes. Wow, he didn't think he would be more attracted to the prince if he tried when he looked at him like that.

Vegeta stared at him, "Hey." That was all he could say really. He was going to blame that one on still being froggy. He was shocked that Krillin was even up before him, he must have been up not that long.

The human gave him a nervous smile, "Hi, how did you sleep?" Krillin knew that he slept great, better than he had in the past few weeks and it was all thanks to an alien that tried to kill him about two years ago.

Wonderful, now that I have you in my arms and I now don't want to let you go. Vegeta hummed, "I slept well, how about you?"

Oh pretty great, wouldn't mind doing again. Especially if you keep on holding me like this. The man smiled even wider, "Pretty good, I was really comfortable being in bed with you." Did that come out wrong? Most likely but he meant every word of it.

And there's goes his butterflies because that shouldn't sound as good, but it didn't matter to him because Krillin could make him feel anything. Also, because he knew that he would eventually have to let go.

Soon silence fell between them and Krillin couldn't take it, "We should probably get up now, I'm sure you're pretty hungry by now." As if on cue, Vegeta's stomach growled and that made the human laugh.

~STARS~

"Ya know, I would tell you to slow down but I don't think you'll listen to me." Krillin will never not be entertained by watching saiyans eat, it was so fascinating to see food just disappear within seconds, marvelous if you asked him.

Vegeta wasn't listening to Krillin as he gorged himself on food because fuck he was hungry. Sure it was only like what, ten hours since he last ate but that felt like four days to him, thought he was kind of concerned him when he hadn't seen Krillin eat yet.

The human was just drinking coffee and that's when it hit him that it when he first got here, their night downstairs and yesterday morning was the only time Krillin has eaten since he's been here. That didn't sit right with him but he didn't want to say anything just yet.

He had heard Bulma complaining about him not really eating, saying that Krillin was like a child when it came to food. Going a long time without eating and scaring the shit out of people when they finally ask him if he ate and find out he hasn't in the past few days. But knowing the woman, he thought she was being dramatic again.

The saiyan now saw what she was talking about and goddess did Vegeta wanted to make Krillin eat. He should be eating; it wasn't healthy, and the human should be eating. He swallowed his mouth full and stared at him, "Krillin aren't you hungry?"

"No, I'm not really hungry but thanks for asking." That didn't sit right with him, but he couldn't press anymore as he felt like it wasn't his place to say anything.

Krillin really needs a better poker face because the fact that Vegeta could see that he wasn't eating, and he did not need that. Having the saiyan worry about him will just him false hope and he didn't need that either.

He gulped down his coffee when he felt Bulma coming into the kitchen and that was not helping him. She came in with a smile on her face and she must have gotten some sleep or find out some great news.

She walked over to coffee maker, "Good morning boys! What a lovely morning it is!" Okay yeah, definitely got some good sleep if she actually likes the morning. And she was drinking instead of beer, so majorly happy.

They both hummed and she turned around to lean against the counter, her cup against her lips. "I just found out some good news." Well that got Krillin's attention but Vegeta was still chowing down on his food.

"Kame House is finally fixed and Krillin can go back home tomorrow." That should fill him with joy, to go back home and be back in his own bed but it didn't, he was actually feeling dread. That was bad, he shouldn't feel that way.

What Bulma said woke Vegeta out of his food trance and he stared up Bulma. Krillin was going home, that was not good. It felt weird to know that Krillin was not staying with him anymore and he didn't like the feeling in his chest.

The human smiled, "That's great news Bulma! At least you get me out of your hair." He glanced over at Vegeta and his stomach did the jumping thing when he saw what he thought was sadness on the saiyan's face.

He didn't like that look on his face, actually he didn't like the idea of the saiyan being anything but happy since he stayed here. Sure, he'll be over Bulma's place a lot but it just wouldn't be the same and that face was making him feel guilty. He wished he could something that would make them both feel better.

Bulma waved him off at that, "Oh please Krillin, you were fine. It's this asshole, I have to worry about." The two of them glared at each other and he allowed himself to giggle at that. "Unlike you, he can't leave here and get out of my hair for a few days."

Then it clicked with Krillin and he put down his cup, "That's it!" He and Vegeta met eyes, "Why I don't take you out Vegeta, you know before I leave." He stood up at the table, his eyes sparkling with his idea, "It can our last hooray, so what do you say, huh?"

Vegeta was startled at the newfound energy of Krillin but he didn't mind it, especially when it was directed at him. He got to spend one more night out with human before he left, could this be one more opportunity to tell him how he feels?

The saiyan smiled, "I would love that Krillin." It seemed his smile got bigger and his butterflies leaped at that, he could do this.

It took everything in him to not jump and down like a kid but was he didn't care; he was so happy right now. "How does five pm sound to you." He really hoped that sounded good to him.

Hell, we could go right now if you wanted to. Vegeta reached a hand over the table, placing it on top of the human's, "That sounds perfect, Krillin."

Bulma watched the two of them and her own smile was forming on her face. Maybe these two idiots can actually make it, maybe the good thing they had, didn't have to actually end. Don't mess this up you two, I'm rooting for you.

End Notes: Holy shit this took me too long to write but it's here! Please expect chapter 9 in three weeks and WGBitN will up on Sunday at 6pm as well.
