"Rest is important, Raditz. How can your muscles grow if you're constantly pushing them to the limit? You never let yourself heal up!"
What Launch had said to him kept going through his mind as Raditz flew her to their destination, her face buried in his chest as she sulked, still sniffling. He hadn't realized that the battle against the Geminis had such a strain on Launch, but he supposed it was only logical for her to feel emotional. They had survived the Eclipse, nearly the end of all the Saiyans, but they had managed to triumph in spite of it; her healing assistance being highly significant. Not to mention, her body was undergoing changes unique to any being on Earth. As far as Raditz knew, Launch was the only Gemini-Saiyan hybrid in existence, as well as the only woman to become pregnant twice at once.
He couldn't begin to sympathize with what she was going through–having no understanding of her unique situation, but Raditz was determined to help her feel better, regardless. He decided that it was time for her to understand more about him, after all, they were mates now, and he should hide nothing from his mate… Even if it was something he had kept hidden away from himself for all this time, denying its existence.
"Raditz…?" Launch murmured, looking up to see where they were now that her tears had mostly dried. Everywhere she looked, she saw endless sand dunes, shadows cast in rich umber topped with golden waves of sand bathed in sunlight, that moved and shifted with the gentle winds. The sky was a warm, rosy shade touched with scarlet and lavender, where the expansive harvest sun was sinking into the horizon.
"Do you remember this place?" He asked, glancing down at her a moment. Launch gripped around his shoulders, and turned in his arms so that she could see the sands of Diablo Desert rushing beneath him as he did, the side of her mouth twitching almost in a smile as she recalled her days of riding through the desert on her S-Cargo, on the run from police. She also remembered the day that she'd been taken along in the place of Blue to watch him train, challenging him to lift her, along with her bike with just the strength of his tail. Her eyes shimmered as she nodded, her hand to her mouth to hold back her emotions threatening to bubble up to the surface.
Launch had always been an emotional woman full of vivacious energy, a hellcat when she was angry. The feelings she felt for Raditz overwhelmed her senses, her emerald gaze swimming as she struggled to speak clearly.
"Yeah… Sure I remember, I guess." She bluffed, and looked away, Raditz raising one brow inquisitively.
"Surely you remember, we had our first… date here…?" He said, clearing his throat anxiously. It was a Saiyan 'date', more so than the human type by his reasoning, but it was still an important time in their courtship. To take his desired mate along with him training, and display his strength to her was a clear signal to her, that of his interest.
"Oh, look, there it is!" She shouted, pointing down. Raditz stopped his flight, and dipped down immediately. Finding the Oasis wasn't easy, in the shifting desert sometimes it would be concealed completely. Human legends told of it, and how men died to find it. Little did they know that the hidden desert Oasis legend was no mirage, or optical illusion, but a real, shifting thing that lived on the fringes of this reality. Raditz was no stranger to oddities like this, having seen them in space. But after all, what is reality but a thin veil between us all? Raditz landed, letting her down carefully to stand on the grass where they had shared their first bento box picnic together.
Launch walked around, her bare feet tickled by the grass as she came to a stop at a large tree, and placed her hand on it where above her head, a gouged area in the wood was still healing. Back then, she had challenged Raditz and questioned his intentions when he had landed on this planet; finding out that he had failed his mission he came here to complete. Raditz disregarded his duty to stay with her, defended her against Tien and Vulcane, then claimed her as his mate.
She felt a warmth near her back as he placed his hand above hers, and felt the grooves in the bark. "The scarring of my struggles still remain to this day. Like my chest wound, this too, shall never heal normally." He remarked, sighing. Launch turned around to face him, and they were back again in the same position as before. She looked up at him with a scowl of disbelief, then crossed her arms, looking away with a huff.
"Just tell me why're we here, Raditz? Or are you just going down memory lane for shits and giggles?" Launch growled, and pushed on his chest. She still wasn't won yet, but he had anticipated that, of course. He knew his girl like the back of his hand. He smirked, then pulled back from the tree, and began removing his shirt slowly, his broad pecs flexing, making the pale pink scar shimmer as his skin twitched with his movements.
"What's wrong with reliving old times, Launch? Especially if they were good times." He reasoned, tossing his shirt at her feet as he continued to undress, unbuttoning his jeans, and sliding them down the sculpted grooves of his hips to remain standing, wearing burgundy colored boxer briefs. She crossed her arms and waited, blowing a hair out of her face as if unaffected until he wore nothing but the hair on his back, his tail swaying back and forth above his muscular behind playfully.
"Last one there is a rotten egg!" He teased, and whirled around, Launch tossing her head back and groaning at his childishness.
"I don't have a bikini with me, Raditz!" She shouted, stomping one foot as a loud splash was heard in the distance behind the weeds. Launch cursed to herself as she began to strip, looking around and deciding that there was no way anyone would see a thing out here as she removed her black tee shirt, then kicked off her green slacks quickly, struggling to get out of her bra.
"Well, I guess I'm a rotten egg, then." She muttered, finally tossing the titty torment device, and flinging her underwear at the ground like a slingshot. Her golden brown tail instinctively tucked between her legs for modesty as she covered her chest. She glanced around, then took off flying over the weeds to hover over the water, where there seemed to be no one in it. Launch grumbled, tapping her foot on the surface of the water. Then, she saw a massive black shadow moving around beneath, and snorted sarcastically.
"Oh no, where could Raditz possibly have gone? It's not like that giant shadow with a tail sticking up is any indication." She snorted, watching how his tail moved around like a submarine radar, not expecting him to suddenly grab her ankle, and pull her under like he did. She screamed, but was quickly rescued, being carried in his arms as he swum her underwater. Her curious Gemini characteristics made themselves known as a blue film went down over her eyes, a hidden second eyelid, and tiny fins formed on her wrists, ankles and hips. Launch was unaware of it, holding onto him comfortably as he made a few long passes through the water, before surfacing. Raditz didn't seem to need to come up to breathe, and neither did she. Being a Neptunian like Kannon; she had inherited her mother's ability to breathe underwater, as had he when Kannon gave him the gift of breathing underwater with her alteration magic so long ago, and it had lasted him for all his life.
They floated at the center of the small pool, the water a comfortable temperature after the sun had beaten on it for most of the day, rays of light still lingering on the surface as it rippled from their movements. They moved to the edge of the water, and rested against the smooth sandy bank, partially submerged.
"Launch, let me explain, about what you said before." Raditz said softly, and took her hand, gently touching the delicate, transparent fins that remained as long as she was in the freshwater lake.
"Ok." She nodded, and stared out at the sunset as Raditz took an inhale of breath, and thought on how to begin.
"You know, we saiyans always have the urge to fight, to take on any challenge that presents itself. You share in this feeling, right?" He began, looking to her for confirmation. Launch hesitated for a moment, then shrugged her shoulders in agreement. Of course she could relate to this feeling, she'd always been considered unhinged, and violent to most humans. But, as a saiyan, she acted accordingly.
"That's where it becomes an issue, you see. Sometimes, I don't know when to stop. Even as a child, I was full of energy, rambunctious you could even say." Raditz smirked, Launch giggling. "Kannon told me about how you and Vegeta destroyed her house playing and sparring just about everyday." She smiled, and Raditz's grin faltered, though the memory had been a happy one, the ones before that weren't always quite as such.
He stroked her hand anxiously, his tail squirming in the water.
"My father… wasn't quite as ah, easy going as Miss Pinchie." Raditz said softly, his eyes falling down to gaze at his own legs, dangling in the water.
"What do you mean?" Launch asked quickly, then held back, sensing that this was a sensitive topic.
"I'll cut to the chase, then. He… Bardock would beat me, every time I got away. I was too rambunctious. When the nursery women abused me, he punished them, but when he did the same, I was expected to bear the brunt of it. My mother tried to stop it… but, after all, I was born with the inability to use my legs." Raditz said raspily, his voice growing thick as he spoke quickly to get the heavy burden off his chest all at once.
Launch furrowed her brows, both in confusion, and with deep sympathy.
"Raditz… honey, I'm so sorry…but, what do you mean by you couldn't use your legs? You were a baby, weren't you?" She said incredulously, fisting her hands in frustration, there was nothing she could do, or make of this now that it was so far in the past.
Raditz turned his face and grimaced, stroking her thigh.
"A saiyan's legs, they aren't as weak as a human's. A pup should be capable of walking within moments of being born, from pod, or natural birth. I wasn't able to. I lied on my back, defenseless as a tortoise." Raditz spat, one hand going to rub his creasing forehead, shading his eyes.
"It is seen as a great, unforgivable weakness. Even Tarble of Vegeta's lineage was exiled for the same reason, I believe. Vegeta never once uttered those exact words to me, but over the years, he has shown subtle signs that he had an intimate understanding for my condition." Raditz huffed as if admitting this was a shameful offense, shrinking away from her in fear of her rejection.
Launch stared with her mouth hanging open, wanting to scream to the heavens and shake Raditz with all she had, but she closed her mouth and nodded for him to continue, placing her hand gently on his forearm.
"Bardock was born a battle pup. He was incubated in his mother's womb as she was active in battle. Because of this, he was able to walk from birth, he was born on the battlefield, a soldier from birth. How could I ever live up to that?" Raditz spat bitterly, the water splashing as he hit it with his fist angrily, his face contorted.
"I grappled with this affliction as a boy, making sure that my legs would never be too weak to stand. A Saiyan must stand, if he cannot fly, how can he survive?" Raditz said softly, and placed his hands on his thighs, for once Launch was looking at him as a man who was… hurt. His long legs remained at rest in the water, as he gripped them and crouched forward, gritting his teeth together. Launch clung to his back, stroking him reassuringly as painful shudders went through his body, his face partially concealed by a curtain of wet hair.
"Raditz," She responded softly, attempting to soothe him.
"They sent me away, how could they?! Even Gine, she let him take me, that, or be an engineer! I wasn't battle ready, when they sent me out to space to.. see if I could survive?! I have gone all my life, thinking that this was a customary rite of childhood, I repeated the words to Kakarot before my interference killed him, my own younger brother…
"What kind of example of our great race was I setting for him, but that of a savage? What would Bardock think of me? Should Planet Vegeta exist, I'd be exiled like those before me to eternal imprisonment. Now that I am becoming a father, I cannot imagine that thinking…" Raditz said softly, and sighed heavily, his chest sinking with the long exhale. He reached down and pulled on the red band on his thigh, then gestured to his arm where there was the other one he always wore, what Launch had assumed was some type of decoration.
"I had to wear these after I caused internal damage to my muscles, so much so that now I may wear them for life. Not because they still need to heal, but as a reminder. Of my father." Raditz said bitterly, and snapped the band. "He's dead, of course, you know that. Dead by…his sacrifice." He said lowly, then turned his face away. Launch understood that Raditz had spoken his part, and treading deeper on this subject wouldn't be wise, by the shaking quality of his body, brimming with his intense anger and pain. Launch sighed, and snaked her arms around his waist, holding him in a loving embrace.
"Raditz, you are a better man than your ancestors. These are… new times, a new age for the last of the Saiyans. We will raise our child as we wish, and if his legs don't work, he won't be cursed. I'll love our baby no matter what, whether or not he comes out with a furry mop, or fuckin' fins on his head. Because he's part you, and part me. We're going to cherish, and love our baby, like we never were. We'll give him all the love we didn't get." She said softly, and Raditz turned his head quickly, his tail twitching from out of the water.
"...'Him'?" He asked, turning around to eye the gentle slope of her belly, then inspect her gaze, as if trying to figure out how she knew the child's sex, and he didn't.
"Yes, our baby is a boy, Raditz. I can't tell ya how I know yet, but I can tell. And he's gonna be all ours to raise, how we like, ok?" She said gently, tracing her finger down his cheek, where a stray stream of water was trailing down. Launch gasped upon seeing that it was hot, his eyes reddened. He grasped her hand tightly, and moved it to press against his cheek.
Launch, I'm scared. A saiyan should never cry. Frightened that I will hurt him. I can't do it. Don't want to be like Bardock. I lost him, Kakarot, little brother Kakarot is dead. I failed to protect him, like Bardock asked.. It's all my fault. I don't know if I can be a good father to him. Launch is bearing. My son. Will he be like me? A long stream of consciousness came from him, and into her mind without Raditz realizing as he closed his eyes, and she caressed his hand on her cheek.
"It's all gonna be ok, Raditz. We can do this." She whispered huskily, and leaned closer to kiss him, her long, damp curls clinging to her tanned back. Raditz clutched her close to him, pulling her into his arms and squeezing her in a tight embrace. Launch smiled and combed her hands through his hair, detangling it with the assistance of the water it was soaked in. Raditz leaned into her embrace and sighed, closing his eyes as she groomed his mane, raking her fingers along his scalp as she stared into his eyes, their noses touching.
A deep purr rumbled from his chest, and she giggled, kicking him gently in the leg from where they were resting. Raditz grinned and splashed her back, his loud purr resonating in the silence as she continued to groom him once the splashing stopped. Raditz rested his head on her chest, feeling content, but worried still that Launch's sorrows hadn't been healed, though she seemed happy now. "Launch, how are you feeling now? Are you still in pain?" He questioned, lifting his head with a concerned gaze. Launch hesitated, then gently nodded.
"I'm in a little pain, but it's getting better. The water is helping." She responded, holding around him as her legs and back were weightless seemed to be helping greatly, but she couldn't help but feel like a rock trying to sink to the bottom, her abdomen stretching, breasts aching. A mischievous grin came over Raditz's face, and she gasped as suddenly the water warmed to a more comfortable degree, the water bubbling up around between them to massage her body gently like a jacuzzi. Launch sighed and hung her weight off of him, feeling relaxed even more now, she felt a tiny purr of her own rattle out from her throat.
"Oh, man.. how're you doing that?" She breathed, and Raditz made the bubbles pulse with his tail, the heat coming from his body in a gentle wave that wasn't uncomfortable for her and the baby.
"A secret, you'd laugh if you saw how I was doing this." He snickered, and she looked down, seeing his tail spinning around in circles like a propeller, just like how Goku used to do. Launch cracked up laughing, letting herself recline on her back as the bubbles kept her afloat, a jet of extra powerful ones going between her legs as he stared down at her tempting nude body.
"Hey!" She exclaimed, but didn't resist it, enjoying the pulsing sensation of the water prodding at her for a moment. Raditz reclined back with her, allowing her to float beside him on his arm as he used the other hand to form a reddish orb in his hand. Launch's eyes widened, and she gasped as it floated up slowly, then began to disperse into smaller orbs that went beneath the clear water, lighting it up crimson pink beneath them.
"How'd you do that?" Launch asked, touching his open hand to see if it was still hot.
Raditz flexed his fingers, and clasped her hand, interlacing her fingers with his.
"I'll show you. You should learn this, in the case you ever lose your weapon and have to resort to a ki blast." He said gently, cupping her hand, and sharing his ki with her. Her hand quickly dried from the heat, and she nodded, feeling a tingling sensation beginning in her palm, then flowing down her veins.
"See how my ki is flowing into you harmlessly? Ki can be used to hurt, and in some cases heal. It's not quite as strong as your healing magic, but effective nonetheless for aching muscles. Now, concentrate that ki, and direct it back out. The first will be easy because I've already got it started for you." Raditz said softly, and released her hand.
Launch nodded, and flexed her hand into a cupped position, tightening the muscles in her arm to make her veins strain, but Raditz stopped her, resting his hand on her wrist.
"Not so hard, yet. You'll hurt yourself if you try a large blast now. Just breathe in, and out. Let it flow freely." He said, and Launch took a deep breath, feeling the ki suction back with it, then exhaled, and saw how her veins glowed deep purple as the red ki pulsed through, then sparks danced on her hand, collecting slowly to gather into a shivering little orb.
"You're doing it, keep on trying." He encouraged, and Launch pulsed the power once more, making the orb float above her, though it danced with sparks, and wasn't a perfect circle like Raditz's was.
"Good job. Can you make another?" Raditz asked, and she nodded, feeling more confident after the first was a success. Launch concentrated the energy from herself this time into her hand, taking deep breaths as an incandescent flame tinted with green shimmers of light began to form, Raditz's brows raising upon seeing her curious ki.
"Why's mine green, and yours is red?" She asked, the flame sparkling in her hand.
"Everyone's aura is different depending on the person, Launch. Yours is very unique. See if you can multiply it." He whispered, and she understood, flexing her hand and easily parting the flame into many smaller ones, which fell, and sat upon the water, flickering to add to the romantic setting.
"Wow, I did it…! It's so pretty here, Raditz." She said softly, resting her head on his shoulder as the lights lit the water up from within, and danced upon their skin under the setting sun. Tree frogs chirped happily away in the long, swaying fronds of willow trees, which traced lines in cursive along the glowing pink and green surface of the water.
"Yes…it is. There are many planets that rival the beauty of earth, many that will only live on in my memories. But earth is beautiful not only for its surroundings, but also for the people on it. At least, the ones I've grown to know." Raditz responded softly, playing with her hair as it dangled in the water.
Launch frowned, looking away a moment towards the dark woods beyond them as she reflected on this.
"Not all people on earth are so kind, in fact quite a lot of them are worse than the aliens they're so frightened of." She remarked coldly, and Raditz frowned at this, stroking her shoulder as he attempted to understand her reasoning behind this.
"Some men… Aren't quite as sweet as you. I….I still have nightmares about my past in that damn orphanage." She glanced back at him quickly; and the two of them realized at that moment that they shared secrets deeper than either of them wanted to admit at that moment. Launch's eyes darted down to the water and she took a deep breath, her chest shuddering.
"You don't...have to tell me anything unless you want to." Raditz whispered, and came up behind her to hold her around the waist, kissing her shoulder. Launch shuddered as he pulled back her hair, and kissed her mark tenderly. The idea that some man had hurt her in the past made his strong desire to protect her flare up, clutching her close to him as he loved upon her neck with gentle kisses and grazes of his teeth.
"If I told you, what would you do?"
"Kill him," Raditz snarled into her throat, "Then, I'd show you how much I desire you, until your every pore is saturated with my scent, and you forget every worrying thing that ever crossed your mind at night. When you dream these things, I'll kiss your tears away. I'll chase those memories away until your mind is only filled with bliss." Raditz whispered, and Launch chuckled huskily, tilting her head back to better receive his touch.
"You don't have to worry, Raditz. I feel safe with you, no matter what happened in the past. I'm ok now." She said softly, reaching down to place her hands atop his on her waist. She closed her eyes and chased those thoughts away as he did, the soft aura around her glimmering, and pulsing with feeling. Her boundaries fell away and she allowed her true self to show, her golden locks darkening to chartreuse green, slowly to a blue hued aegean teal as both of her forms fused together once again. Raditz took a deep breath and squeezed her tight, his chest swelling with his reaction to both of her alter beings here at once, in their truest state, her most vulnerable form that she only allowed Raditz to see.
"Launch, your smell… by the gods. You smell so delicious. I could devour you…" He purred, holding her close and tasting the honeyed flavors oozing from her mark as Launch opened her multicolored eyes and giggled, the emerald green irises with violet edges sparkling.
"Girl, you drive me insane when you're like this." He said urgently, his reaction to her making her gasp as she felt his hardness pressing up against her backside.
"Well, I can have you all to myself this way," She teased playfully as she turned her face to eye him better, seeing how Raditz's eyes had changed in the darkness. She turned around and placed both hands on his face as he gazed at her, an unfamiliar silvery quality to his obsidian eyes.
"What's…" She pondered, and Raditz quickly glanced up at the sky, then back down.
"It's because of the...moonlight? Can't you feel that?" He said, and Launch turned to see the faint glow of the hidden moon of Neptune that had been drawn closer by the Eclipse, and had been there all along without their knowledge, aiding in their transformation to Saiyå-Zarou.
"It's the blutz waves from Triton I'm having a reaction to, but it's not quite full yet. Don't worry, Launch." He whispered, and leaned down to place a kiss on her lips. Her teal tail curled around his in the warmth of the water and she sighed, parting her lips for him as his tongue traced along the seam of them. He clutched her to himself tightly and tasted of his mate with their kiss, tangling his hand in her hair and tightening it. Launch's heart quickened from the gentle pull at her scalp, allowing her neck to arch back so that he could trail kisses down it. Raditz kissed her body tenderly, his hands moving to circle around her breasts. He used his thumbs to gently rub, and caress her sensitive areolas. Launch moaned softly, and gripped his back for leverage, licking the side of his muscular neck, tracing a path along the tendon where once she had bit down, tasting his warm, spicy flavor oozing out from his mark as well.
Her breath escaped her suddenly as Launch found herself pressed to the bank, Raditz trapping her in his arms, opening her legs with his hips. Launch gasped, her kaleidoscope irises wide as she took him in, trails of water making his warm complexion dewy in the glow of the ki lit water, tiny green flames like fox fire at his back causing ethereal lights to light up his angular features, his dark eyes flashing. Their bodies pressed together as he lowered atop her, and pulled her down in the sand so that their hips met. Launch's back rested on the cool sand, her hair a halo around her as she turned her cheek and sighed, appreciating the feeling of his heat around, and against her.
"Look at me, Launch." Raditz whispered, his warmth suddenly leaving her. She gasped, gazing down to see his face. Raditz slowly smirked, a red tongue wetting his lips at the apex of her open thighs. "You're making a delightful scent for me. I can't wait to taste it." He purred, and she blushed as he looked down, and moved his mouth to sample that taste, giving her nether lips a gentle kiss, sliding his tongue along her cleft, before delicately spreading her with his hands, and feasting on his mate's sweetness. Launch whimpered, feeling shudders go through her body with every flick of his tongue along her center, like sparks gently igniting a fire, until it was a licking flame. Her stress unwound, her body going slack against the ground as Raditz speared his tongue inside of her warmth, curling it inside of her as his fingers rubbed gentle circles on her slickened clit.
"Raditz," She moaned softly, feeling her core begin to tremble, her legs shaking just as he growled into her flesh, his mouth filled with her taste, which changed as she grew closer to climax, making his mouth salivate and grow wetter until he was diving in with gusto, stimulating the interior flesh of her with two fingers, pumping in and out faster as he sucked and licked her sensitive clit. Launch gripped his hair by the roots and cried out, grinding his face to her as she came into his mouth. Raditz drank her orgasm eagerly, swallowing it eagerly as his reward.
He moved himself back up to her, by slowly licking, and kissing her body. Launch panted, stroking her hands through his hair and gripping it as he did. Once he reached her breasts, she felt the blunt tip of his erection just barely touching her entrance, and moved her hips to feel his smooth head trace along her wetness, teasing her entrance.
"Naughty girl," Raditz purred into her breast, palming the other one enthusiastically as she whimpered, and rubbed herself with his stiffened organ, loving the feel of his girth spreading her lips and teasing to slide inside. Raditz groaned softly, and moved forward, wedging his length along her slit as he moved to kiss her once again, sharing the flavors she'd rewarded him with on her lips. He pulled back, and she licked the tartness from her lips, her tiny canines glistening as she bit her bottom lip. Raditz growled, his tail bristling at the erotic display of her saiyan fangs, grown by the blutz waves.
"Bite me," He demanded, pulling her lower lips down with his thumb to better see the fang teeth of his saiyan woman. Launch giggled, and sucked his thumb into her mouth, caressing the flesh with her lips as she gazed up at him, then grazed her teeth along it for him. Raditz groaned, feeling teased, he moved away from her, kneeling on the sand, and handling himself eagerly, stroking his hand along his own hardened length as he gazed down at her relaxed body spread out before him. Launch enjoyed the sight of Raditz stimulating himself for a moment, before crawling across the sand to drag her hands along his abdomen, the slick flesh wet with his perspiration, hard beneath her touch.
She brought her face close as he held himself before her lips, grunting low in his throat as he silently begged for entrance through her lips. Launch kissed his weeping tip, where a bead of salinious fluid had gathered, and licked him clean as he stimulated himself with his palm, she circled the darkened flesh swollen with his engorged state with tongue until it was slickened enough to slide between her lips easily, his girth stretching her mouth wide as Launch took his length into her mouth. Raditz grit his teeth and moaned through them, moving his hand on top of her head to direct her movements, his ears burning with the vulgar sounds she made as she took him deep in her throat, then back out, working the rest of his length with her hand, as the other rested on his backside and squeezed, pushing his hips towards her face.
"Launch, I..I'm going to…" Raditz muttered, biting his bottom lip as she laughed against him, the reverberation of her voice going through him as her movements became more deliberate, his hand gripping her hair tight as her face crushed against his strong abdomen, and he felt her lips around his base. Raditz's climax surged down her throat and he moaned huskily, gripping her head tightly against his groin as his hips quivered with each gush of fluid escaping from him. Launch drew back, and gazed up at him as she still drew on his length with her lips, pulling the flavor from him until she only tasted his skin. Raditz never lost his aroused reaction, in fact he grew harder watching her swallow his essence, and bob her head along his length like an obedient woman.
He gently moved back so that she could breathe, her face flushed as Raditz panted as well. "Bad Launch," He rumbled in approval, earning her playful grin back.
"You started it." Launch said, smoothing out her hair after he'd messed it up.
"And I'm not done with you, either." Raditz smirked, sitting down against a tree at the water's edge.
"Well, come get me then," She pouted, feeling neglected as he sat, and played with himself while watching her. Raditz shook his head, disobeying, instead stimulating himself, and enjoying watching her growing angered almost immediately in reaction to his teasing.
Launch stood, and walked to him with her hands on her hips, breasts bouncing as she stormed over to him and frowned. Raditz almost giggled, biting his lip, enjoying the show she was giving him. He leaned back forward farther so that she could better see how badly he wanted her, and Launch's eyes darkened with lust at seeing her masculine saiyan man in total submission to her.
"Launch, come get on top of me," He begged, placing one arm behind his head as the other hand aimed his cock down so that could sit on him. Launch shivered, the hairs on her tail all standing on end as moisture gathered between her legs, her womb feeling full, heavy with her desire.
She obliged him, coming down to kneel over him, letting him aim his member towards her so that she may slide down onto his hardened thickness. Launch cried out as she felt him filling her at last, Raditz taking her by the hips firmly as she gripped his shoulders, moving just so that their groins ground together in the most pleasurable way, her hips rolling along his, as he made deep thrusts up inside of her, both making aroused grunts and pants. Launch moved to kiss him, their tails entangled as both were fused deep from within, bodies moving as one, his intruding length plunging deep into her depths as Launch enjoyed his full length to the very base, her center filled with bliss.
"That's it, Launch. Let me feel you unwind around me," Raditz purred, pressing her down so that they ground down to their pelts, sopping with her wetness all around him. "Ah, ah, Raditz!" She cried out, and covered his abdomen with her orgasm, flashes of pleasure reaching out to her extremities as she beared down on him and shuddered with climax. He smiled, and let his woman rest against him as he made shallow movements, caressing her bottom as she panted, her body recovering.
Raditz took her by the chin, and kissed her tenderly, feeling her tiny fangs with his tongue. Launch whimpered, and began to move against him once again, but Raditz stopped her, rolling so that he was atop her now, never leaving her body as he did. Launch rested her head comfortably on the sand and smiled blissfully up at him as Raditz sheathed himself, then pulled out languidly, her moisture pooling out onto the ground as he did. She mewled in question at the loss, then gasped as he took one leg in his hand, and angled it up to rest over his shoulder as he dove back into her. Raditz did not hesitate to work himself back up to the limit, grunting with each aggressive thrust, reaffirming his dominance now as he made her whimper in submission with each slap of his coming climax, welling inside of him as the weight of his scrotum landed against her bottom. Raditz took her other ankle in his hand, and pushed that one back as well until her knees were on the ground, her body folded in so that he may thrust down into her open legs, with no obstructions.
He took a deep breath, and angled himself down on his haunches, holding her still as he mated with his woman in a beastial way, giving her no control over how deeply his thrusts fell upon her sensitive flesh, as he held her down and unleashed his most primal passions upon her body, until Launch was mumbling her orgasm once again incoherently, her body weak from his persistent cock wedging deeper up until his reserves broke, and Raditz made a roar of his release as he flooded her insides until semen was leaking down onto the ground, his eyes turning fully white as he achieved climax, returning to their dark obsidian as he finished.
Launch let her legs down at last as he shuddered and recovered from the mind numbing experience, panting into her chest where he rested his head. Their tails were coiled together so tightly that they looked as one, brown and teal swirling together in harmony. She stroked his mane, which was now nearly dry from his heated body. Launch placed a kiss on his head, and scratched him on his widows peak how he liked, his tail loosening from hers, and making lazy loops through the air as he regained his senses. Raditz picked them up now, and grinned, walking into the water to cleanse their bodies.
"I love you." He said softly, and watched as her smile grew, and her hair slowly deepened back to royal blue. "I love you too, Raditz." Launch smiled shyly, and clasped his large hand as they walked into the water, and she rested up against him as he held her close to him. "Oh no...I hope the baby is asleep. Do you think he heard me?" Launch whispered with worry, stroking her still flat stomach, that had just a slight curve to it.
"I'm sure he's just fine." Raditz reassured, placing his hand there as well. There was little motion inside, if anything the only thing he could sense was the dim ki of the child, as long as it wasn't spiking, he was certain that it was sleeping. The fetus was so tiny still that Raditz couldn't quite say if it was even that aware of its surroundings yet, but he didn't want to disclose that.
"He's asleep." He confirmed to comfort her worries, and Launch sighed heavily, thankful that the rocking motions of their lovemaking didn't disturb the tiny saiyan fetus inside.
"Oh, thank goodness." She giggled, and hugged him close to her body. Raditz smiled, and used his tail to swish between them, stroking the inside of her thighs lovingly to clean her as he kissed her head.
Launch closed her eyes and gradually travelled to the unexplored part of her consciousness that she had traversed once before; searching the water for the tormented warrior. "Mother?" A voice came across, as if from far, far away, she heard an echo from the depths of eternal hell.
Yes, I'm here, and so is Raditz. Launch responded, and the shadow hesitated to come up from the depths, looking around himself cautiously.
Is that him? Saavoy asked carefully, and Launch nodded. There was a swift motion, and she was shaken awake, the darkness flashing before her eyes before disappearing. Raditz clutched her tightly by her shoulders then, harried with worry. One moment he was grooming his mate, the next, her entire body was shaking and she was mumbling to herself.
"Launch?! Are you ok? What was that?" He asked sharply, his tail slapping the water angrily. Launch shook her head, unable to answer his questions.
"I'm fine, don't worry darling. Just tired." She answered, her eyelids feeling incredibly heavy. "Can we go home now?" She asked, and yawned, her teeth clicking.
"Of course, as long as you're ok. I thought I sensed a strong ki for a moment." He growled, looking around himself suspiciously.
"I felt it, there was something else here." He snarled, shudders going through him from the cold chill that had come across the water, making the once warm water lit with ki orbs now dark, and insufferably icy.
"I didn't feel anything," She lied, looking away from him. Raditz shook his head, and flew up and out of it, warming her immediately with his ki at the worry of endangering their baby.
"It's nothing to worry about, sweetie." Launch said, nibbling on her fingernails and glancing back down at the water.
"It was much too cold for you, Launch. You must be more cautious if you're to be a good mother." Raditz snapped impatiently, not noticing how she waved goodbye as they flew off.
When Launch at last opened her eyes, she gasped upon seeing what was before her. All around she saw blue ocean waves, surrounding a small island with a familiar pink house on it. She smiled and hugged around Raditz tightly, her approval obvious by her wagging blue tail.
"Oh, Raditz! I missed it here, how did you know?!" She chirped happily, him raising one brow.
"You asked to go home, and this is our home. Not there in that… sterile dome amongst the pollution and noise of the metropolis." He said with a small sneer, as if he disliked staying at Capsule Corporations.
"Yes, but.. I don't mind being there. They are very nice to us. But, I suppose there's nothing like being home, sweet home!" Launch sighed, resting her head on his chest as a grin grew on Raditz's face and he landed, a large cloud of sand billowing up as he did.
"Besides, I have an agreement with the doctor there that I should honor." Raditz said, and Launch tilted her head curiously as he let her down, and walked down the shore. She ran after, feeling more energized after taking a nap during the fly over.
"What agreement? With Dr. Briefs? Oh!" Launch caught up, recalling how Dr. Briefs had made them all their fancy new gadgets and armour with Raditz's help, and understanding that he must have had some type of compensation he owed the man.
Raditz grumbled, then clicked a nearly invisible button on his bracer, opening it up to reveal a small remote, as Launch gazed on in fascination. He clicked a button on it, and waited, then looked towards the water as bubbles began to surface, and Launch's eyes widened. Water rose off of a large plate-like surface, followed by two bulbous eyes on stalks. She screamed as the creature rose from the water, its wet mandibles clicking as it took in her and Raditz hungrily. Raditz flinched from her squeals, but stood his ground, grinning as the large crustacean breached the water at last.
"Wh-what is that? Why did it come when you clicked the button, Raditz?" Launch squeaked anxiously from behind him, and Raditz snorted. "Just an overgrown shellback, it must have eaten the ship. No worry, Launch, even a puny girl like you can handle this beast." He sneered with a crack of his knuckles, just as the massive Dungeness Crab finally crawled out of the water, and onto the shore, clicking it's massive pincers.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Launch accused, though the creature was giving her the creeps, she didn't like him insinuating that she was weak and defenseless.
"Just that-'' He began, firing a ki blast, but the crab dodged with a side-scuttle, and snapped at Raditz, making him have to dodge back. "You haven't reached your–" Raditz attempted to continue as Launch pouted, stepping back from the fight to sit on a rock.
"Her full potential, isn't that right?" A familiar voice came from behind, and Launch turned to see who it was. Master Roshi came forward, along with Yamcha, Puar and Oolong. "Yes." Raditz clipped, and anticipated the next move of the crab, as it slashed at him with it's gargantuan claw. He grabbed it by the claw, and tossed it over onto its back, the claw coming loose as he did. Raditz tossed the claw off to the side, and kicked the crab back onto its feet; not done fighting yet.
The others watched, Yamcha clenching his fists as he watched Raditz fight skillfully with a slackened jaw. He was amazed by his speed, and also envious of the saiyan's gorgeous long hair.
"What do you mean, Master?" Launch asked, and the old hermit chuckled.
"Well, from the moment you arrived on my island, I always had a hunch that there was something unique about'cha, Launch. I tried to get you to train, but that didn't go over very well... if you remember correctly." Roshi blushed, recalling how they all wore skimpy women's undergarments to try and convince Launch that they were Martial arts uniforms.
"Hmm." Launch mused, crossing her arms.
"Is that what the purpose of the lingerie was?" She questioned with raising suspicions, noticing how his anxiety increased.
"We-Well, no, but! I always encouraged you to stay in shape with our aerobics classes. You do have a hidden potential, Launch. Now that we know you're part saiyan, I don't doubt it." Master Roshi nodded, now certain.
Launch mulled over this, twirling a curly blue lock of hair around her finger as she turned to see Raditz finishing off the giant crab with a swift kick to it's underbelly, making it spit up a giant, white ball.
"Eww, gross!" Puar squeaked, "Oh, clam it, tuna breath!" Oolong commented, laughing as the crab spat water in Raditz's face. Yamcha suddenly flew over to defend Raditz as he was blasted by salt water, the others gasping as he approached the crab fearlessly, and jabbed it in the gullet, cutting off its spit stream. It backed away a few feet, making choked sounds as Yamcha offered a hand to Raditz, who was still recovering from the blast, coughing up water.
Raditz took his hand for just a moment, righting himself, and glared at the strange human man for a split second before being startled by the sudden change in the air, as Yamcha formed his hands into claws, then a blue aura rose from behind him, and he surged forward with a combination attack, shouting "Wolf-Fang-Fist!" The crab was quieted by a hard blow to the head, then another that smashed in its face. It fell to the ground, seemingly vanquished. Raditz balled up his fists and growled, watching how the man brushed off his hands, and turned away. He didn't move to save him as an errant claw reached for him, making him scream. Instead, a motion like a blue bullet whipped past them. Yamcha was transported back to Master Roshi's side in an instant, the claw still clinging to his waist now twitching, then Raditz was blown back by the gale of wind once again as there was a bright light, and a blast of blazing green energy that surrounded the crab, and made it squeal in agony as its shell began to cook, and turn red, finally dead. Launch stood with both arms out, her hands together in a mock pistol, her finger now literally smoking. She was the owner of the smoking gun, the one who had saved them.
Raditz rubbed his eyes, attempting to regain his sight after being blinded, his nose taking in the sweet scent of crab meat as he did.
"There. No more trouble out of you, mister crabby." Launch huffed, and put her hands on her hips as the dust settled, and everyone came forth to see if what they had witnessed was truly real. Yamcha removed the pincer from around his waist, looking at it, then Launch.
"Launch… you.. saved me. I saw you!" He gasped, as well as some of the others, besides Raditz. "Little Launch? How…?" He questioned, just as befuddled as the other men. Launch blew off her finger, then sucked it where it was red for a moment, recovering from using such a large ki blast for the first time.
"Well, I…uh," She muttered, turning around and tracing circles in the sand with her red sneaker.
"Yamcha could have gotten hurt, and you were going to do nothing to save him, Raditz!" She shouted, forming her fists into balls, her tail puffing up as she accused him.
"B-But, I-I don't know him!" Raditz snapped, his hands out to his sides in a clear display of confusion.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know him, Raditz! Yamcha is my friend! I wouldn't let him be turned into fish food!" Launch huffed, crossing her arms.
"Th-Thanks, Launch. I had no idea you were capable of that kind of strength. It's really amazing." Yamcha blushed, feeling sheepish that he was saved by her, of all people, but he was thankful, regardless.
"Nice aim!" Oolong commended her, looking impressed.
"One minute, she was standing next to us, next thing I knew, she launched right off the ground! She was bing-bing-banging around like a ping-pong ball! Wowie-Zowie!" Master Roshi said with exaggerated enthusiasm, his mouth wide open in a grin that was for once, not perverted.
"I see… so, you have Propel, Kannon, Implode, Grenada, Launch… Your name, it's literal to your skill." Raditz said, now connecting the dots. "Yes. That's one of my inherent abilities, I suppose… I just, I flew into a panic. I'm sorry everyone." Launch said meekly, and they all surrounded her, patting her on the shoulders and back supportively.
"Don't be sorry! That was incredible!" Puar said, and hugged around her neck. Launch petted the little blue cat, and a smile formed on her lips.
"I suppose this is a good thing. Not to mention, there's enough crab here to feed everyone!" Launch said cheerfully, glancing to Raditz, and hoping he would stay for dinner with the humans.
"Raditz, let me introduce you to my friends, Oolong, Puar, and Yamcha. You know Master Roshi, but you aren't familiar with everyone. I want everyone to know too, that Raditz is my mate–I mean, boyfriend, and the father of my child. He wouldn't hurt anyone now." She announced, and giggled as he glanced away and blushed.
"That's not true! I was ready to rip that girly-haired one a new one for interrupting my fight!" He snarled towards Yamcha, who looked offended.
" 'Girly-haired?!' Your hair is longer than mine! Besides, you got blasted in the face! I was just helping out, that's what you do in a fight!" Yamcha argued, and the two glared into each other's dark eyes for a long moment, huffing angrily.
"You'd be wise to stay out of a Saiyan's blast path, from now on. You can't rely on my girl to save you next time." Raditz threatened lowly, and Launch pushed the two of them apart, gripping the both by their shirts.
"Enough! Your dinner will get cold if you two can't make up! Raditz, help me cut up the crab! Yamcha, would you go pick that pod up before it rolls away?" She demanded, and both men nodded, taking off once she released them. Yamcha ran over to see what the pod was that she had mentioned, seeing a large spherical ball laying in the sand. He'd been absent for Raditz's arrival on the beach, so he had no idea what it could be. He kicked it slightly, and it rolled over to reveal the window on the front, covered in seaweed.
"Let me handle it." Raditz growled, shoving past him to retrieve the little remote again.
He squatted down and opened up the ship, then quickly typed the coordinates to Capsule Corporations into the navigator. Once it chirped, the spot lighting on the map of earth, Raditz closed it, and slapped the ship before it lifted into the sky, and zipped off in a beam of white towards West City.
"That takes care of that, now to attend to my dinner." He said, still not too keen on sharing it with everyone.
"Our dinner," Launch corrected, and the others giggled as Raditz sighed heavily, and went over to prepare the crab for them all.
"And then, just as I was thiiiiis close to seeing up Launch's skirt, the table legs gave way, and it collapsed on top of me!" Master Roshi regaled them all with the tale from many years ago, brought on by his realization of just how strong Launch was. He recalled how she was able to lift a giant bucket of rice, and Raditz snorted at that, telling them all about how she had helped him into the house when he was injured, and had no problem lifting his armour, either–something a weak human girl could never do.
Launch popped another large forkful of crab and rice in her cheeks, her blue tail wagging angrily behind her through the chair spokes. She was attempting to keep her anger in check as they all laughed at Master Roshi's perverted antics of the past, even Raditz! Launch reached with her tail, and swatted his tail as a warning lash, making him stop laughing. He coughed into his hand to cover it up, then looked seriously at the old man.
"Ah, while that all is amusing and it's interesting to hear about her past, my Launch is the mother of my unborn child. There shall be no more of these skimpy outfits, pinching of her bottom, peeking up her skirt, or down her shirt. If I catch you peeping, I won't go easy on you….That means girly hair, and you as well, pig." He looked pointedly at Oolong and Yamcha, and they both nodded quickly.
"Oh, well… I suppose we sure had fun while it lasted! I guess I better find myself a new pichie-pichie gal!" Master Roshi sighed, and then all in the room shivered from the death stare Raditz gave him at the mention of 'pichie-pichie'. He didn't know it could be translated to mean a spunky, lively girl, as energetic as a fish out of water. Master Roshi intended the term to mean a pretty girl, one that could clean his house, with a butt perfect for pinching.
"No, no, not our mom, Pinchie, Raditz! He doesn't mean her!" Launch said urgently, shaking him by the shoulder as he breathed heavily, snorting hard like a bull honing in on its prey.
"Yeah, any gal would do! Preferably, one that would actually pleasure me!" The old idiot said, then yelped as Raditz went flying over the table and the two rolled off in a ball of flying legs and arms, the old man squirming as Raditz tried to get a hold of him. He finally did, holding him down to the floor by his shoulders.
"Oh, let him go, Raditz! He didn't mean it!" Launch worried, pulling him by the tail.
"Take it back, you old letcher. Say you'll never touch Pinchie! Or else you'll never pinch another bottom again, I'll make sure of that!" Raditz hissed, and Roshi quickly agreed. "I-I promise, I'll never touch this Pinchie gal!" He yelped, and Raditz grinned.
"Good. Not as if Nappa would let you live, anyways." He said, and let him go, brushing off his hands as he returned to the table, and began gathering up the empty plates for Launch. She helped her old Master up apologetically, dusting off his back, then joined Raditz by the sink to begin cleaning the tower of dishes that had collected since she had left in a hurry for Capsule Corporations.
"Oh, darn… what a mess." Launch groaned, and Raditz waved her off.
"I'll take care of these dishes in no time. Why don't you just go relax?" He said, and kissed her on the head. Launch took his offer gratefully, and hugged him, before heading towards the sofa, yawning.
"Thanks for dinner, Launch...sorry about the dishes." Master Roshi apologized, and she turned and gave him a hug too. "It's alright. I'm just glad to be home." She said, and he looked down at the floor, fidgeting with one side of his white mustache. "I just hope your room isn't too bad of a mess. I haven't gotten up there to check, these old knees don't work as good as they use'ta." He said, and she thought back to the last time they'd been home, a shudder going through her as she looked over her shoulder at the attic door at the top of the stairs.
"I-I'm sure it's not that bad. Let's go see what's on T.V, Master Roshi." Launch deflected with a cheerful tone, and Raditz glanced over his shoulder at her, then began washing dishes as quickly as he could. He had a feeling she didn't want to go up into the room, and he knew why.
Launch reclined on the couch, flipping channels as the house grew quiet, Oolong and Puar having fallen asleep on the couch beside her. A news report came on while she shook out a blanket, and covered the two of them with it, tucking it in around their feet to keep them warm as she listened.
"September skies are clear today, and we can all rejoice now, as earth returns to normal. Scientists around the globe have come to the conclusion that these atmospheric anomalies we all experienced were due to a change in Earth's gravity, which drew in the planets, and in turn caused the tides to rise. Errant Tsunamis around the globe have finally stopped, just before causing any severe damage." The woman said, pointing to a screen where computer graphics attempted to explain in logical terms what had happened to the planet. This caused Launch to turn, her hand to her mouth in worry. She hoped no-one had been hurt thanks to the Geminis. She sat back down, watching with a worried gaze. The camera moved to the reporter at his desk, agreeing with her.
"My condolences go out to anyone who was affected by the Eclipse. Here's one thing you can celebrate, after the electrical costs were skyrocketing before, they've now dropped exponentially. Daily life can now return to normal once again as we can enjoy the sunlight, though these changes come with new challenges."
"Everyone seems to be feeling the heaviness in the air, Marie. After the rain of Neptune's destruction, which experts seem to think was from an internal eruption of trapped gas beneath the surface, it was revealed by satellite radar today that the moon of Mars, named Triton, as well as Mars, remain visible in our atmosphere." Launch's eyes widened, recalling what Raditz had said about the moon's presence. It seemed he had been right, as the screen showed a crescent moon up high in the sky of twinkling stars.
"Yes, Tom, we all can admire the sight of Triton in our solar system, and rejoice that Earth now has a moon again, at last! This is no cause for worry, scientists say, in fact, our chances for inhabiting Mars in the future has gone up exponentially! Mars is undergoing drastic changes to its surface…." Launch turned off the television, and shook her head, glancing at the pillow beside her and straightening it under Puar's head. She was glad that all the crazy things she'd experienced could be explained by science, the jargon of which began to make her sleepy again. At the very least, the citizens of Earth were unaware of what really had happened, or at least, the government paid these scientists well enough to provide an explanation to cover up the existence of aliens.
She couldn't help but recall sometimes sharing the couch with Tien on nights like this, either quietly watching television together, or playing video games. She wondered how he was doing, wherever he was, and giggled at the memory of him brought on by fixing the pillow. Tien had been covering up his groin with a popcorn bowl after he and Blonde Launch got into a heated wrestling match one night. Something that, now that she thought about it, she realized that the signs of his attraction were there all along. She shook her head and sighed, feeling silly. Blonde me was just too much for poor Tien...We should have stayed just friends. An icy feeling came over her once again as the autumn wind blew outside, and rattled the windows. She got up and glanced out the blinds, seeing rain coming down, tearing bits of palm fronds off with the strength of the gusts. Launch turned the lock on the window, then made sure the door was deadbolted.
Raditz came into the room, yawning loudly as he stretched his arms out, and his tail curled behind him, teeth clicking. He scratched at some stubble growing on his cheek, then came close to place his hands on her shivering shoulders. Launch knew it was him since the moment his spiced cinnamon rum scent tickled her nose, then had it confirmed by the grunts and exaggerated yawning noise he made as he made his way over, most likely hinting to her it was time for bed.
"Where have you been?" She asked, enjoying his warmth.
"Oh, I showered to get that fishy smell off. Then.. your friend, Yamcha assisted me with the laundry, and showed me how to work a vacuum. The bedroom is ready now." He said, clearing his throat. Launch gasped, turning around to kiss him. "You and he got along?" She beamed, feeling glad. Raditz could use a friend after Piccolo's assumed death.
"… Well enough. He noticed my frustration with earth machines, and instructed me on how to start them. Don't go thinking I'm allies with that...that curly haired cat lover." Raditz spat, but Launch wasn't at all bothered by his curses. She knew that though it may take him time to warm up to everyone, Raditz would truly come to enjoy having a group of male peers that didn't insult him, or boss him around.
"He wanted hair 'tips'. Can you believe that? He wished to know how I keep my hair so long and straight. Tch." Raditz grumbled as they went upstairs, Launch giggling.
"What did you tell him?"
"I told him, his hair could never look as good as a Saiyan's mane! But…that he could also treat it with some hot oil and let it air dry." Raditz muttered, making her giggle again.
"That was very generous of you, Raditz." She said, and squeezed his large bicep lovingly as they entered the room.
She took a sharp intake of breath, and her chest swelled with joy as she walked into the bedroom, just as it always was. Her fears of seeing the blood from her accident on the bed were all abated. Launch looked, and saw the large crochet square blanket she had made for long, lonely winters resting clean and neatly on the bed, two pillows there for her and Raditz. Not a single thing was left errant in the room, besides his bracers, and boots that sat on the floor by the bed. As always, they were next to a pair of white bunny ear slippers. Launch's eyes swelled with tears for some reason she couldn't understand, and she turned and buried her face against his chest and hugged him, hiding her sobs of joy. Raditz stroked her hair, and smiled. He was glad she was happy because of this small gesture, and relieved that she never had to see the bloodstained carpet, or the bloody sheets he'd disposed of.
"Thank you, Raditz… thank you." She sobbed, and he moved back to gaze down at her face, wiping her tears away with his warm thumbs. "I should be the one thanking you…For all you did for me then. I was such a cold-hearted man then, but you took me in, and you were not afraid to sleep with a slayer in your bed. I truly have no way to thank you for all this, besides, well… with my undying gratitude. I hope it will be enough for now." He said, and his ears reddened as he glanced away bashfully. He'd talked about some other things with Yamcha, mainly ways he could thank her, in a human way. The human man knew of lots of gifts, and gestures that made earth women happy, and was more than willing to share his knowledge with him. Raditz would have to wait to share them with her until he found the means, but for now he was relieved that this was enough.
"Yes, that's more than enough, Raditz. You're all I want, just you." She said softly, and moved up to reach for him on her tippy toes, him leaning down to kiss her, wrapping his hands around her waist, their tails intertwining as soft moonlight fell through the window and onto the couple who began their journey here, and would always find the quaint little room the most romantic venue.
