Hello again everyone. If you haven't been frightened off by my other stories along this strain then I'm so incredibly proud of you. Makes me feel good to know I'm not the only freak out there. ^. ^ This is where all my odd-couple CROSSOVERS will be held. *evil cackle* This one is between DBZ and Tammy Pierce. Not only that, but it's two guys, which you won't see much of from me. So you HAVE been warned.
He felt strong arms circle him from behind, a hard body pressed to his back before he was lifted effortlessly off the ground and settled on the bed, leaning against his conqueror. With a muted growl, he strained to sit up. The snort from behind proved what he already knew—fighting was futile and his efforts would only wear him out quicker. In an effort to quell his struggles, the stronger stretched his arm across his captive's chest, pinning them together.
"You want me to surrender, don't you?" The bitterness in his voice was evident as he tried to look back at the black-haired man, blue eyes hard. He felt a slight pressure in his back as the other exhaled sharply.
"Yes." The taller man went rigid, lifeless as the strong hands turned him so they were face-to-face. "Mind, body and soul to me." His gruff exterior was almost gone now, would be if his pride weren't in the way.
"That's not what I meant."
"Your lands mean nothing. I am only here because I was ordered to be." His black eyes narrowed and he allowed the younger man to pull back. "But I mean what I say, Jonathan."
Jon scowled, trying to rip his wrists free. "Why should I believe you now? You've taken everything from me already. My kingdom, the captain of my guard, my Champion…" He had to stop and swallow, his voice getting hoarser with each word. "… my queen. You've left me with nothing."
"They are fine," he growled, leaning closer until Jonathan could look nowhere but his eyes. "I have given orders that they not be harmed. Especially your mate." The king still looked skeptical and the smaller warrior grunted. "They will do as I say, boy. I am their prince. They all know the price for disobeying royalty." Jonathan was about to comment otherwise, but was silenced by Vegeta's glare. "Pardon Radditz and you may have them back."
"P- PARDON?! After what he's done?" Jonathan's jaw was set. "I will not."
"Then I cannot guarantee the safety of your woman," Vegeta said simply, leaning back against the headboard.
"I can't show weakness to my people. Not now," he continued.
The prince sat up, anger quickly encasing his chiseled features. "What do you think that I have done? I've taken the prince of the enemy and made him my bedmate! I've pardoned you. My warriors think I've gone soft for not killing you outright and stopping this war where it stands." Jon noticed the Saiyan didn't mention that his warriors were LOSING the war as well. Every mage in Tortall was after blood, and their ki attacks didn't fare well against the Gift.
Blue eyes locked with obsidian once more, and Jonathan sighed. "I will pardon him only if you first release my friends."
"And why should I think that you will do as you say?"
Jonathan's chin lifted despite himself. "Do you doubt the word of a king?"
"Yes."
"I trusted you when you said they were unharmed, Vegeta. Now, it is your turn to trust me."
So, what y'all think? Review. It makes me feel good to see reviews. And flame me if you want. My friends and I need a few good laughs. Just don't tell me you were SHOCKED because it was two fellas. I already told you it would be. ^. ^ And while you're doing that, I'll be waiting with more ideas. Ja ne!
