Lucy chapter 14
Goku gets himself out of there pronto, he doesn't wanna be in the middle of a lover's tiff between Vegeta and Bulma, that will be like a war zone. But he doesn't feel like confronting Chichi yet either, he has some thinking to do. He stops by his bedroom, being super quiet so as not to alert his family of his presence. He grabs some clothes and I.T's to where he can feel piccolo, he isn't sure if he wants to talk about what happened last night or if he just wants to sit in silence and think about it. Either way piccolo is the guy to see, he has good advice for any situation, but if you want silence he is good for that too. Piccolo is the king of silence, he lives a life of solitude and only speaks when necessary.
Goku materialises on the cliff next to his friend and sits down heavily
"You ok?" Piccolo asks flatly
"I don't know," Goku answers honestly, and he doesn't know, he has no idea what he feels right now, or even what he should feel. He knows he feels guilty, and he is almost sure he should be feeling that, that one is correct. But taking over the guilt is a feeling of excitement, a tickly feeling in the bottom of his belly, he isn't sure if it feels good or not.
"You want to talk about it?"
"I don't know. Piccolo why is my belly fluttering?" Piccolo smiles sadly, he can see this is going to be a long and difficult journey for Goku, one that he won't fully understand. It's clear to see that Goku is falling for Vegeta, something Piccolo wouldn't have predicted in a million years.
"Is it Vegeta that makes your belly flutter?" He asks already knowing the answer. Goku nods.
"Here on earth they call that feeling butterflies, Vegeta gives you butterflies, its coz you like him, a lot," Goku surprises Piccolo by chuckling a little
"Well, he did say he wanted to give me butterflies. I do like him, and…. something kinda happened," Goku is too embarrassed to look Piccolo in the eye so he just stares at the ground and waits for Piccolo to respond
"ok, what happened?" He asks, Goku is hoping that Piccolo will guess what happened last night, so that he doesn't have to say it out loud, this is really embarrassing, but it seems there is nothing for it, he is just gonna have to man up and tell him everything, it is gonna be twice as hard telling Chichi.
"Vegeta and me…... we kinda…. we had sex,"
"You what?" Piccolo sputters incredulously, losing his perfect composure for just a second.
"It happened last night, we had been out dancing and Vegeta was being so romantic, we went back to a hotel and….it just happened," Goku says the whole sentence without looking up, he feels ashamed of himself, but not quite enough to regret his actions.
"Who instigated it?" Piccolo asks immediately suspicious of what Vegeta was trying to get out of this
"I don't know what that word means," Goku admits. Piccolo sighs
"Whose idea was it to have sex?" He asks, speaking as though Goku is a child
"Err, no one actually said "Oh I've got a good idea let's do sex" but I suppose it was me who pulled him closer, and it was me who kissed him again, and I didn't have to follow him to the hotel so, it was me….. I guess,"
"So, you've made your choice then, it's Vegeta that you want?" Piccolo asks. Goku looks him in the eye for the first time since he has been here and says in a voice clear and unashamed
"Yes, I want him, I want him more than anything," He says fervently. He is shocked by the intensity of his own words. He can't believe how quickly Vegeta went from being a friend, that he secretly admired from afar, to being the centre of his universe. Vegeta just waltzed in and took over Goku's whole life, and he just let him, he didn't even put up a semblance of a fight, he just sat back and let Vegeta take control. Leaving Chichi and being with Vegeta is a thought that should terrify him, he has been with Chichi for all his adult life, he doesn't know anything else, but he doesn't feel scared, even though he knows Chichi is gonna hit him a good few times with the frying pan, he deserves it after all. He is not afraid, he feels hopeful, eager and excited.
"Does Vegeta feel the same as you?"
"Im not sure, I think so," Goku says remembering the way Vegeta touched and kissed and sucked him last night, the sexy way he had moaned his name, and of course the time when he whispered Kakarot in his dreams.
"He must feel the same, right? Or he wouldn't have done what we did last night," Goku smiles convinced that he is correct
"Goku, sometimes people do that kind of thing just coz it feels nice. If you offered yourself up on a plate to Vegeta, and it sounds to me like you did, there's a chance he just took it, because he could," Piccolo hated to say such cold words to someone so naïve but he has to be realistic, Vegeta is not the most loyal or moral person in the world and there is no way he would pass up a chance to bed Goku, even if just to prove his dominance. He didn't want Goku running off to tell Chichi what had happened and destroying a long and mostly happy marriage for the sake of a one-night stand.
"I don't think Vegeta would do that," Goku said slowly, doubting himself even as he spoke
"Well you better make sure, and fast. There's no point you wanting him if he doesn't want you back. Make sure he loves you before you hurt Chichi, ok?"
"Ok…Piccolo?"
"What?"
"How do I know if Vegeta loves me or not?"
"Oh, I don't know, maybe you could try asking him," Piccolo sighs, sarcasm apparent in his tone
"But, asking him is embarrassing, and you know how Vegeta is he doesn't like all that soppy stuff, he won't want to say that he loves me, even if he does," Goku shrugs
"Look Goku, this is a big decision that is gonna hurt and confuse a lot of people, If Vegeta can't even bring himself to say he loves you, then he is not worth all the turmoil this will cause"
….
Bulma bustles round her large kitchen, picking up yet another empty chocolate spread jar from the counter and tossing it in the trash.
"I swear to you Chichi they appeared in my bedroom both butt naked, if that's not proof I don't know what is," She Laments into the mobile phone tucked between her shoulder and her cheek. She nods as Chichi replies.
"No, it's not solid proof that they were fucking, I know they have ruined their clothes while fighting before but with everything else that's been going on it seems a bit suspect, right?" Bulma opens the drawer to find there are no clean spoons, they are all in the sink covered in brown sticky chocolate, she was going to have to stop ordering the stuff, if Trunks kept eating Nutella the way he was then he was going to get fat.
"I sent Goku home about two hours ago, I have no idea where he is. Vegeta has been in the shower for over an hour and I could have sworn I heard him crying. I have no clue what is going on any more, but I'm not gonna let them upset me, if they wanna be dickheads I will be too. I'm gonna put a bug on both their phones, then we will know what they are really up to"
The ladies talk a little longer, both feeling confident in their plan, they will catch their husbands out, figure out the truth. Bulma hangs up with a smile on her face, a smile that soon fades when she thinks a little harder about the situation she has found herself in. what if her suspicions turn out to be real, what if her husband and her best friend are sleeping together. What would she do then? How would she cope with that? what would she tell Trunks? Hi son your dad has turned gay and he's banging uncle Goku now, she isn't sure how Trunks would take that news. God, she hoped she was wrong and there was nothing going on behind her back.
….
Vegeta stands under the jets of warm water, willing his tears to subside, at least now he has a reason to cry. He cheated on his wife, with his rival. What a joke. How is he ever going to look at Goku again after this? How can he finish his quest now, he is too ashamed even to look at the other man let alone flirt with him or woo him.
There are so many things about this whole ridiculous scenario that is bothering the prince, but the main problem right now is not that he fucked Goku, but that he enjoyed it. In every image Lucy showed him from last night Both himself and Goku had an expression of pure ecstasy on their faces, they both loved every second of it, every minute of pleasurable torture was bliss. Vegeta wants to do it again, and he knows if he is around Goku he will do it again, there is no way he can resist that body, the feelings that only another Saiyan can give him. they are perfect together. Vegeta hates himself for it but he feels things for Goku, things that he never felt before. Is this love?
"Lucy?" He whispers through his tears, hoping the annoying demon would hear him, she does
"Alright bubs, ows it going?" She asks with a smile appearing inside the shower unit wearing a small red bikini with a black lace trim. She smiles warmly at Vegeta, totally ignoring the tears that stream down his face. She unashamedly eyes up Vegeta's naked body, licking her lips as she looks him up and down
"Lucy, I can't do this anymore, I'm going to hurt everyone I hold dear, then I'm going to die and leave them. This is too much…" He trails off, unable to find words to express how bad he is feeling
"Ya didn't think this was gonna be easy, did ya? Ya gotta go through hell t' get t' heaven luvie, this quest is kinda like your punishment, it wasn't apposed to be a walk in the park,"
"If it's a punishment for me then why does everyone else have to suffer, why does my wife have to get hurt, and why does…he have to get hurt. I can't do this to him, you knew didn't you, you knew I'd start to feel for him" Vegeta snaps starting to feel angry
"Of course I knew, no one can spend that much time around someone as good and pure as Kakafucker and not fall for 'em, it was inevitable really,"
"That's a long word for you," Vegeta says monotonously, he feels totally drained,
"So ya want out, right?" Lucy asks her heart beating in her chest, she looks hard at Vegeta, she really does like what she sees.
"Do I have that option?" Vegeta sniped "You are not gonna let me back out of our deal, are you?"
"Maybe," Lucy answers, her voice quiet. Vegeta's head snaps up to look her in the eye, she looks different somehow, in a way that takes him a moment to recognise, she looks vulnerable. Her eyes shift awkwardly between his and the floor, she is nervous. Vegeta speaks softly, he has never seen Lucy behave this way before and feels the need to tread carefully.
"What do you mean maybe, are you saying I have other options?" Vegeta asks, unsure how he feels about this. Lucy looks at him, her face unreadable
"Ya could stay wi' me," She offers, quite sure that she has finally lost her mind, she must have, asking a mortal to stay with her, it broke every rule in the book, all she knew was that she hoped he would accept, because she really wanted him with her.
"What? I don't understand, stay with you in hell, I thought the whole point of this charade was to get me into heaven?" Vegeta has a puzzled look about him, he climbs out of the shower, the water is starting to turn cold, Lucy follows, pulling herself up to sit daintily on the counter.
"In a thousand years, give or take, I will inherit my dad's throne, I will become queen of hell," She explains, her confidence returning, even if he says no, at last she has told him how she feels, if he went off to heaven without her ever mentioning it she would never forgive herself.
"I want you at my side, Vegeta," she holds her chin high, at this moment she looks every part the queen. Even her voice sounds different, her usual common accent replaced with an authorotive voice.
"You mean like an advisor, or something?" Vegeta can't deny he is a little intrigued, advisor to the devil is pretty far up on the hierarchy, he would be a very important man. And with a title like that he was certain he could pull a few strings and get to spend time with Bulma, or Kakarot when they passed.
"Ha-ha, no Vegeta, not as my advisor," She giggles, Vegeta's heart drops, he knew an offer like that was too good to be true
"As my king, of course," she slides seductively off the side and strides confidently over to him, standing just a little too close for comfort. Vegeta feels like flinching away, but resists. She moves her face close to whisper into his ear,
"You have been a lowly prince for far too long, wouldn't you like to know that one day you will get your rightful title, the title you deserve. You would make a fine king and I would be honoured to be your queen," She observes the shocked look on his face, his mouth hangs open, he is totally speechless. She lifts her hand and gently pushes his chin up to close his mouth.
"No need to decide now, take your time, Prince Vegeta," Lucy breathes into his ear, making him shiver slightly, before she vanishes.
….
She arrives back in her office and is not surprised when the moment she sits down Gabe bursts through the door, hands flapping wildly at his sides a look of total shock on his pretty face
"Ok, Ok, what the actual FUCK was that? did you just ask a mortal to be king of hell, I don't know why I'm asking you that because I already know the answer is yes, yes you fucking did. You asked some scrawny little thing to RULE HELL WITH YOU. This is a disaster, what a mess, this is a total calamity. What the fuck were you thinking…."
"Calm fucking down," Lucy cuts him off mid rant "Take some deep breaths for Christ's sake before ya pass out ya dingbat,"
"You're right, I'm calming down, Calm, calm." Gabe takes a few deep breaths, closes his eyes and lowers himself slowly into a chair that magically appears underneath him.
"Its fine, everything will be fine, all you need to do is go back and tell Vijingo that you were kidding,"
"Vegeta, and I aint gonna tell 'im that, coz I wasn't kidding," Lucy says firmly "I really do want 'im to rule with me,"
"But why? Why would you want to piss off every demon in hell just to have that little twat by your side?" Gabe is exasperated. When Lucy doesn't answer his question, he looks up at her expectantly and gasps at the face looking back at him, Lucy has taken her demon form, Gabe has seen it a thousand times before but he is still shocked every time by just how frightening she looks
"Do not speak of him that way," She instructs, dangerously low. Gabe knows he has crossed a line, wow, Lucy must like this guy a lot more than she is admitting.
"Ok, calm down, there's no need to look at me like that" Gabe says holding up his hands in apology. Lucy slowly transforms back to her beautiful self
"So…. you really like this mortal?" Gabe says with a little shrug,
"Yeah," Lucy admits, avoiding eye contact
"You are going to piss a whole lot of people off if you go through with this," He tells her, starting to feel a little sorry for her. For her whole life she has had demons, angels and every creature in between asking, no begging, for her hand and she has never shown even the slightest interest in any of them. When she finally finds someone that she is into, he is so unattainable that even the princess of darkness herself is going to have some real trouble getting him
"He hasn't even agreed yet, I won't take 'im against his will, I wouldn't wanna hurt 'im like that. if he agrees I'll deal with the shit storm then. Once I'm queen everyone can be as pissed off as they like they won't be able to say nout to me about it, coz I'll just vaporise them," She declares with a grin.
"Do you think he will agree, he seems into power, the title may win him over," Gabe muses
"Oi, I might win him over, I aint done charming 'im yet. I hope he agrees, but he does seem pretty hooked up on Kakaroon at the moment. We shall av ta just wait and see init"
