Chapter 3
Kakarot held me tight as if he would never let me go, and he said, " I hate being alone, you get so very lonely."
That did it. A tear almost dripped down my cheek as I said, " I hate being alone. I have almost always been alone. It hurts, and I can hardly live with it. I need someone.... Kakarot, I can't live on like this." I stuttered because I almost told him how I wanted to be with him. I moped for a moment, but did not cry. I always held it in.
" Vegeta, I am here for you. You are not alone. I will always be here for you when you need me. I care for you. I will not let you be alone.... I .. I ..." He paused and I held my breath.
" I... well, I had something to say.. but.. ..Vegeta?"
I glanced up as I wrapped my arms around him without even thinking. It was something I had been wanting to do for a long time.
" I love you Vegeta." Kakarot said. He almost let go of me to turn away, as if he was ashamed. He looked away and spoke again. " I always have. And I don't care what other people think."
I stood looking at him, but not responding. I could not find any words for several moments.
"So.. you actually care about me too?" I muttered.
" Yes Vegeta, I always have! I care about you more than life itself. I would do anything for you. But if I can't.. I will still try to be your shoulder to cry on. I will help you out. I will always care for you. I want to remind you that you are not alone."
I could not believe all that he was telling me. He told me he loved me, and everything else he said was a blur. He told me what I had always been afraid of telling him. But I wasn't sure what to say... Was he serious?
I wrapped my arms around him once more. My arms fit snug around his lower chest. I drowned my face in his broad chest until I was not upset any longer. I looked up at him to respond finally.
" I.. I.. I love you too Kakarot." I stuttered again because I was nervous. I felt tears build up because I was frustrated and slightly confused. " I have always loved you too. I've wanted to be with you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life." I felt a tear slide down my cheek. I felt like I had been deprived of this love forever.
Kakarot then pulled me away from him. I thought he was angry at first until he placed his hands on my shoulders and looked down at me. He gazed into my eyes.
His eyes sparkled as he said, " I want to be with you too. I want to forever. I want to please and satisfy you finally." Then he kissed my tears away.
But inside, at that moment... I felt like there would be a problem... call it Saiyan instinct...
