Leaning heavily into the hot spray of water, Radditz stretched himself and shook his thick mat of hair. Droplets of water flew and he grinned. Turles had shown him to a guest room after telling him of his need to clean up. Turles had looked at him oddly for a moment, wondering why his nephew would need to clean so urgently, but let it go when King Vegeta told him to lead the boy to a room. A female attendant had come in when he was very nearly naked and left with an armload of filthy clothing and a heated flush. Radditz laughed to himself after she was gone, at least he wasn't as ugly as he guessed he might have been.
Now the steaming water washed away the filth of battle and eased the pain in his ribs with warm fingers. Turning off the shower, Radditz stepped out into a room full of steam and breathed deeply. The warm air filled his lungs and made him feel drowsy as he stumbled from the bathroom. He hadn't realized how late it was but the sun had already set and deep shadows were thrown around the kingdom from the harsh moonlight. _That explains this exhaustion..._ Radditz drug his feet to the bed and pulled the heavy covers back. Silken sheets called softly to him and with a small smile and a grunt, he let them embrase him.
~Standing at a window, a warm night breeze blew Radditz' heavy locks behind him. He smiled into the wind leaning heavily into the arch on his elbows, clad in nothing but baggy pajama pants. A light floral sent caught in the breeze and filled his room with the smell of early spring blossoms. Radditz closed his eyes and let the smell waft over him, a new scent pulled at his senses. Cocking his head to the side he breathed in deeper, it smelled vaguely of upturned earth after a heavy rain. Deep and heady. Whispers of moving cloth caught his sensitive ears and he turned; Vegeta stood in his entryway a pair of red silk boxers pulled snug across his thighs. Radditz swallowed as his mouth nearly began to water. With a small smirk Vegeta walked in, his chest was whole, nothing to show of its previous abuse. Radditz walked the space between them, scooping the small prince into his arms and engulfed his mouth with his own.
Purring, Vegeta pushed away and dropped lightly onto the balls of his feet. Radditz watched him in surprise and longing. Curling his fist into a Radditz pajama bottoms, he pulled the large saiyajin behind him; pushing him down into the bed. Vegeta straddled his large chest, finger combing the large locks around Radditz' head before he bent and left a seering kiss. Moaning, Radditz grasped the back of the Ouji's head and held him there firmly a moment before running his hand along his smooth back and cupped his bottom.
Grinning into the kiss, Vegeta began nipping at Radditz' lips then licked and sucked at his jaw line. Vegeta moved slowly down Radditz' chest, leaving moist kisses and an eager saiyajin squirming beneath him. As warm full lips grew further south, Radditz hissed and hawed while Vegeta chuckled deeply. Scratching nails left small furrows of crimson. Vegeta looked up at Radditz as his face contorted between pain and pleasure. Cupping his lover's growing erection Vegeta grinned, "What am I going to do about this...?" Radditz watched in enraptured expectation as Vegeta pulled the waist of his pants down and began to lower his head...~
Radditz woke with a heated start. His body covered in a deep flush he wiped the sweat from his eyes and pushed his soggy hair out of his face. His heart pounded in his chest as the remnants of that blissful dream flickered slowly out of his mind. Groaning at the tented sheets he cursed whatever had woken him from his sleep. Sitting up slowly and planting his bare feet on the cool marble, Radditz began to wonder what _had_ woken him. Walking soundlessly to the door, he pulled the heavy oak open and walked down the hallway. After going around a couple corners, Radditz looked around himself in confusion. His lack of knowledge of the castle had the best of him again and now he wandered; trying to retrace his steps...completely and utterly lost. The darkness that had invaded the castle during the night left him reaching carefully to his sides so that he didn't break something priceless, or so he hoped.
The castle was drafty, small chilled breezes blew down the corridors and wrapped themselves around Radditz' shoulders. Shivering, Radditz cursed himself for not grabbing at least a robe or some shoes before venturing into the halls. He padded along, an eerie silence sticking to the cold air as he tried to find either his room or someone who could show him the way out...at least then he could walk home. Walking down a long hall, Radditz noticed there were more outlines of decoration along the walls. For the first time he felt like he was somewhere he shouldn't be. A low moan barely made it to his ears and Radditz turned his head slightly in the direction it appeared to have come from. Stopping and holding his breath he strained to hear and was rewarded with another low moan. It came from down the hall, behind a room with a high archway and an oak door with a busted beam. Radditz' breath caught in his throat, he recognized the door and the smell that came from the other side. Biting his tongue and fighting away the voice in his head that told him to walk away, Radditz pushed open the door and stepped carefully through. On a large four post bed in the corner, Vegeta lay in twisted, sweat soaked sheets. A small lamp on a nearby table shed dull light into the large room, barely touching an adjacent wall and gaining its luminescence barely to the middle of the room. Radditz lifted the lamp carefully and walked across the room, watching the Ouji as he fought in his sleep. Someone had cleaned the tatters that had been left carelessly on the floor. Radditz wondered where they had put his medals.
Reaching the side of the bed, Radditz set the small lamp on a side table and crawled carefully to the middle of the large bed where his Ouji lay. Vegeta's face was scrunched in pain, sweat ran slowly from his temple and beads shone across his brow. Radditz climbed from his spot and found his way clumsily to the bathroom, getting a damp cloth before returning to Vegeta's side. Wiping carefully at Vegeta's face, Radditz settled beside him, watching the Ouji's face as it calmed under the soothing cloth. A shuddering cough brought the Ouji nearly upright in bed and very nearly fully awake. Radditz stiffened in shock. Putting a hand to his head and then to his chest, Vegeta grimaced and coughed hard again. Suddenly stiffening, he turned his head slowly toward Radditz who was currently rubbing slow motherly circles along Vegeta's back.
"Radditz?" Vegeta's voice was hoarse and dry. He grimmaced at the rough texture in his throat and swallowed.
"Aye, Vegeta, it's me." Radditz stopped patting his back as Vegeta shifted. Slowly sliding backward, Vegeta came to rest between Radditz' legs and relaxed against his chest. Radditz shifted slightly to give the Ouji more room before wrapping his legs around Vegeta's. Vegeta snuggled into the crook of Radditz' arm and sighed before lightly coughing twice. Radditz leaned back amongst the heavy pillows, dragging Vegeta with him. Radditz wrapped his arms around Vegeta loosely and smelled his loves musk and nearly groaned out loud. This wasn't going to be an easy night.
Radditz drowsed, coming back to reality when Vegeta would cough or grunt in his sleep. Radditz hugged Vegeta closer, bringing the small compact frame as close to him as possible. His right hand felt warm and Radditz carefully unwound his arm from his sleeping prince. His palm had been resting across the gauze on Vegeta's chest, and now it was coated with deep crimson.
