The Prince and the Phoenix - Chapter 29
Bulma found Vegeta sitting up on the roof of the Gravity Room staring up at the moon. She precariously climbed out of the hatch and scooted her way over to him.
Softly, he asked, "What do you want now, woman?"
"Nothing, I guess. A new guard saw someone up here on the roof and was scared you were going to jump and kill yourself or something."
"So that's what all the racket was about? Feh. So, you came up here to check on me, huh?"
"Well, no. I came to make sure you wouldn't get annoyed at all the commotion and blow something, or someone, up."
"Hmpf," but he smirked.
"I'm really proud you achieved Super Saiyan, Vegeta." Vegeta turned to look at her and noticed her quiet smile and that her eyes were shining.
"Hmpf," he said again, but a proud twinkle came into his eye.
"Yeah, well, I guess I just wanted to tell you that." She sat still for another moment, then started to edge her way back to the hatch opening. Vegeta shot his hand out and grasped her own.
"Wait." He said, and she did. The night was quiet and except for the occasional sound of someone far on the other side of the compound locking up and heading home, they were completely alone. Not even the evening breeze disturbed them. They stood just gazing at each other for many long moments. Finally, Bulma remembered to breathe again, but just as she did, Vegeta leaned over and kissed her, slowly, tentatively, completely unlike the wild passionate embrace of earlier that day.
Bulma pulled back slightly, wonderment written on her delicate features. She reached out and touched the side of his face. Vegeta closed his eyes and just barely tilted his face into her hand. When he opened them, she was smiling brightly with excitement in her eyes. He was about to question her when she darted in and kissed him back. He wrapped a hand gently around her head and brought her face even closer to his. She responded by bringing her whole body closer and wrapping her arms around his back. The kiss deepened and deepened until neither was aware of anything in the world but each other.

And so it remained as the great Kame leaned back from the railing of his tower on top of the world. From here, he could observe everything that was happening in the world, but his gaze had been focused on the two stubborn people falling in love below.
Piccolo growled, "I still don't like the whole idea, Kame. You came damn near letting the whole world be destroyed."
"I knew he would make the right choice in the end," the wise old Namek nodded his head.
Piccolo regarded the elder for another moment with suspicion, but then, he, too, nodded. "I hope you're right, Kame. I really hope you're right."
