The next morning, Vegeta woke up feeling almost normal. The sickening crush he had had on Bulma's mother was gone, but the pure love he had felt for Goku was still there. Vegeta frowned. He was in big trouble. This love was so pure he couldn't ignore it.
A knock came at the door and Goku entered. He looked really embarrassed.
"Look… I know last night didn't mean anything… you had that spell on you… I don't hold you responsible or anything…"
"Hn. I know it wasn't my fault, it was yours." Vegeta snapped, glaring at Goku with all the false anger he could muster. Goku frowned in confusion. "You responded to it. How do you explain that?" Goku blushed vibrantly.
"I guess… I liked it." He then ran from the room. Vegeta felt his ki flare up and knew he was flying away. The prince was stunned Goku had admitted to liking that, but it made things a lot easier. Vegeta knew he wouldn't be able to overlook this new adoration he had for Goku, so he had to do something about it. Vegeta grinned and went downstairs to see if there was anything worthwhile in the fridge.
Vegeta decided to wait it out- make Goku sweat a little longer. He waited all day, trying to put what he was going to say to Goku into a cocky sentence that said 'I love you' but still putting his arrogant emphasis behind it. A task that Vegeta found out to be impossible. He ended up just resolving to use actions not words instead.
That evening, Vegeta flew to a huge field in which he sensed Goku's ki signature. He searched round before spotting him under a tree. Vegeta walked silently up to him and smirked at his surprised expression.
"Please don't kill me." Goku mumbled. Vegeta snorted at the ridiculous comment. "I… you… didn't…want… I…" Vegeta could tell this was going nowhere fast.
"Shut the fuck up Kakarott." He hissed. Goku immediately ceased mumbling and stared at the floor. Vegeta stooped down infront of him and smirked. "Do you love me?" he asked bluntly. Goku's eyes went wide and he looked terrified.
"Before I answer, you have to promise not to kill me." Vegeta rolled his eyes and nodded. "Um… yes then." He said, blushing and staring at the floor. Vegeta stood up.
"Good." He said shortly. He then flew away. Goku was sat there in a state of total shock. Good? What did that mean? He decided to go home and hide somewhere.
Vegeta flew straight home grinning.
"By this time tomorrow, you'll be mine Kakarott." He whispered. Now all he had to do was find a way to explain things to Bulma.
As he landed on his front lawn, Vegeta heard a loud scream from inside followed by:
"TRUNKS GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" Vegeta headed in and saw Bulma standing in the living room with an ostrich head. Vegeta burst out laughing. "Ah shut it." Bulma squawked- literally. Trunks came downstairs trying, but failing, to look innocent.
"Yes?" he asked, looking straight at Bulma as if nothing was wrong.
"You undo this now or I'll peck your eyes out!" Trunks grinned and uttered something before leaving. Bulma squeaked and evaporated, appearing seconds later in the same place looking normal again. Vegeta, not knowing what had happened, not really caring, stepped out into the garden. He sat down under a tree in the shade and thought for a while, deciding to sleep out here tonight.
Goku was a bundle of nerves all the next day. He jumped at the smallest noises and finally, Chichi got annoyed.
"Goku if you're going to keep trying to fly through the roof, go outside. Goku looked up at the ceiling and saw a huge crack, wondering vaguely when he did that.
A few hours later, he was almost stress free again- until…
"Goku! Phone call for you!" he got up and wandered inside.
"Hello?"
"Hello Kakarott." It was Vegeta. Goku felt his heart explode. The strange thing was, Vegeta was talking low, almost purring. It was really seductive. "I'm going to that field I saw you in last night." He said meaningfully. Goku got the point.
"Are you going to kill me?"
"No. Just talk… at first." Then he put the phone down. Goku gulped. This could be one of two things, he thought. One, a death trap. Two, just a talk. Knowing Vegeta, it was a bit of both. He sighed and flew off.
Vegeta waited almost patiently under the tree in the field for Goku. He's not coming. A voice in his head said. He knows what I want and he doesn't want the same. That's ridiculous, he said he loved me… another voice argued.
"Just great. I'm hearing voices." Vegeta mumbled.
"Really? How many? Are they good talkers?" Vegeta shot his gaze up to see Goku standing opposite him. The taller Saiyan was looking at him apprehensively. Vegeta got to his feet and stared at him.
"You're late."
"Well… you didn't actually specify a time. I could have come tomorrow morning and I still wouldn't be late." He's being a smart ass…that's new, Vegeta thought with a smile. He advanced on Goku, who backed away warily.
"Stay still." Vegeta snapped. Goku gulped and stopped. "So… do you know why I came here?"
"Well… I though it was one of two options. One just to talk to me, the other to kill me." Vegeta snorted.
"Both of those are wrong Kakarott." He looked up at the taller Saiyan. "I came to give you something and see if you like it." Goku tensed. He thought Vegeta was going to give him a beating for even daring to care for him- or something along those lines. Vegeta however just walked up to Goku and kissed him.
Goku's mind exploded with every emotion going. He felt his legs turn to jelly and found it hard to stand. Vegeta pulled away and looked cautiously at him. Goku had never seen Vegeta look so uncertain about something before in his life. Goku realised his eyes were still very wide and his lips were parted slightly. He closed his mouth and continued to stare at Vegeta. There was no way he was going to break this silence; apart from the fact that he had no idea what to say or do, Goku was still debating why Vegeta still had any feelings for him. The spell Trunks had put on him was temporary. Why was Vegeta still in love with him? Or was this just a sick, very convincing prank, made to make him look like a complete fool?
Vegeta stood gazing up at Goku, waiting. The taller Saiyan made no movement at all, nor did he say something to break the very awkward silence they now found themselves in.
"So…?" Vegeta asked cautiously. Despite all previous plans, actually being here and putting his plan into action was proving to be more of a task than first perceived.
"I dunno." Goku said stupidly.
"Don't toy with me Kakarott. You said you loved me, and when I kiss you, you do nothing?" so Vegeta was being sincere. Well, this was unexpected, Goku thought amusedly; this was very unexpected. He pulled the Saiyan prince towards him and closed his lips over Vegeta's, thrusting his tongue into his mouth and making him gasp. He gently caressed Vegeta's back and pulled away, not allowing Vegeta to leave his arms, even if he wanted to.
"Better?" he asked grinning.
"Much." Vegeta said breathlessly. Goku suddenly seemed so much more confident. Maybe all he needed was assurance. He snapped out of his thoughts when he felt Goku pull away from him and sit beneath the tree, smiling to himself. "What?" Vegeta asked nervously. Goku looked up and motioned for him to sit. Vegeta did so and was pulled once again into Goku's arms. He sighed contentedly and looked up through the branches of the tree at the stars. They sat there for a while before falling asleep in each other's arms.
