Heroes
Chapter 5: How did I fall in love with you?
Pairings: Goku/Bulma, a bit of Goku/ChiChi interaction, but I wouldn't call them a pair :)
Rating: R
Warnings: mentions of infidelity (duh!), and a bit of citrus, nothing too bad though.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


~*Remember when, we never needed each other
The best of friends, like
Sister and Brother*~



Bulma stood shakily from the bed, and walked over to the door, scared of what she might find behind it, she opened it up just a crack, and peeked through the opening to see Goku standing there.

"Goku! I didn't know where you went, I thought you um...left." She told him, before noticing the tray of food he held in his hands.

"Nope! I didn't leave, I just thought you might be hungry, and I wasn't quite sure of what you liked, so I brought you a bunch of stuff." He exclaimed happily. He looked down at the floor, or at least he tried to, before noticing that Bulma had negelected on small detail...her clothes. "Um, Bulma? You're still naked." He told her, his face turning a dark crimson.

Bulma looked down at herself before turning an even deeper shade of red. "Um...I...uh.." She stuttered before hopping back onto the bed and covering herself with the large comforter.



~*We understood, we'd never be,
Alone*~



"Heh, Bulma, I've seen you worse that that, I don't think you need to worry about not having any clothes on." Goku stated, after recovering from his initial shock.

"UM..heh...guess you're right...You think you could throw me my clothes though?" She replied, never loosening her hold on the blankets.

"Yeah, no problem." Goku told her, before glancing around the room to locate the hastily discarded items. He handed her her boxers, panties and shirt, before picking up her bra. "Um, not sure, but I don't think this works anymore." He said, dangling the damaged bra on his pointer finger.

Bulma blushed again, before reaching up and yanking the bra away. She examined it for a moment, before looking up at Goku, who had a rather amused look on his face. "Well, I'm glad YOU find it funny! I really liked this one!" She whined, and punched him lightly on the arm.

Goku sat down next to her on the bed, and leaned over to kiss her gently, his eyes never breaking contact from hers. They stayed like that for a moment, before Goku cleared his throat, breaking the silence that had descended upon them. "Not to be mean, but if we keep that up, then you're never gonna get dressed, and neither one of us is going to be eating anytime soon, well, not food at least..." He told her, a devilish glint in his eyes.


~*Those days are gone, and I want so much
The night is long and I need your touch*~


"Goku! You've got a potty mouth, you know that?" Bulma said jokingly.

"Yep, that I do, can we PLEASE eat now? I haven't eaten in FOREVER!!" He exclaimed, his stomach adding it's two cents with a rather loud growl. Goku rubbed the back of his head, and smiled, in a rather typical Son-way, before reaching down and picking up the tray of food. "Let's see here, we've got cheeseburgers, some fruit, yogurt, chocolate pudding, carrots, and a couple of pork chops, choose your pick." He told her cheerfully before setting the tray between them.

Bulma picked up an apple and the yogurt, while Goku dove into what was left. She couldn't help but laugh at the man in front of her, who at that moment looked more like a starving child than a well fed adult. "Goku, calm down, I don't think it's going anywhere." She told him, and then laughed when he didn't let up his assault.



~*Don't know what to say
I never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight*~


Once they had finished eating, Goku took the tray back downstairs, and Bulma hopped off of the bed, and walked to her dresser, still very naked. She dug around in the drawers for a moment, before pulling out a sheer black night gown, with black lace running across the bust, making it virtually see-through. She giggled to herslef, before rushing into the bathroom, and changing into the thin garment. She examined herself in the mirror, and was pleased to find that eventhough she had lost weight, it still clung to her curves tightly, accenting her figures rather nicely. She was also happy to find that the bruises around her neck had faded, and her black eye was almost gone. She ran her brush through her thick hair before checking her appearance once more in the mirror, and exiting the bathroom. She walked towards the bed, where a very speechless Saiyan sat, his mouth slighty open, and his eyes as wide as saucers.

"See something you like?" She teased him, before crawling into bed beside him, and once again proceeding to rid him of his shirt. She was just reaching for the massage oil again, when someone knocked at the door once, and then walked in, and needless to say, they weren't very happy at all.

"So, it looks like you're having fun to me, SWEETHEART." Chi Chi spat at Goku, her face a deep shade of red. "And you, you little tramp, kindly remove your hands from my husband, or I'll be forced to make you." She shot at Bulma, earning her a growl in response.


~*What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time*~


"Chi Chi! What're you doing here? You're supposed to be at home!" Goku answered wildly, his eyes darting back and forth between the two women, ready to jump at a moments notice, should Chi Chi choose to make good on her threat.

"Well, not that it's any of your business, but I decided to come check up on the two of you, and it's a good thing I did! I'm just glad I caught you before things got any farther." She replied angrily, before noticing the sidelong glance that the two gave each other. "But, it appears that I don't know the full story, huh? So tell me, Bulma, did poor you get all beat up? Such a shame really, I mean, you can't even keep your own husband happy, what makes you think you can please mine?" She told her mockingly.

"You crazy bitch! Do you think Goku would even be here right now if you kept him happy? Do you think he would have NEEDED me like he did if you were taking care of him at home? Don't think so!" Bulma replied, before jumping off of the bed, placing herself between Goku and ChiChi.

Goku jumped up, and placed a hand on her shoulder to pull her back, but it was quickly shaken off. He looked at the two women, and shook his head sadly. "ChiChi, I'm sorry it had to happen this way." He told her, before reaching a hand up to stroke her face.

"I forgive you, Goku. Let's go home. I know you have to regret it, I mean, who wouldn't." She said, before casting a glance to a rather heartbroken Bulma.


~*What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?*~


"No....That's not what I meant...I don't regret it at all ChiChi, and I'm sorry for that, but I think I'm finally in love." He said, before turning to look over his shoulder at the blue haired woman. "I regret that it had to come to this, and I regret that we could never make it work, but I can't regret making love to Bulma, and I don't regret falling in love with her, I'm sorry, and I'll always be here as a friend should you need me, but that's all I can offer you." Goku told her sadly, before leaning in to kiss her one last time.

"I...Bulma...you're crazy if you think this is going to end this way...I don't know how, but someday, I'll make you pay, both of you. You can't just leave me like this! You can't!" ChiChi exclaimed before turning and walking from the room, her head held high.

"Goku?" Bulma asked timidly, before placing her hand gently on his arm. He leaned his head over to her shoulder, and buried his face in the crook of her neck. "Shhh, it'll be ok. Follow your heart, Goku, if it tells you to be with her, then please, do it, don't stay here because of me." She told him calmly, even though it broke her heart to say so.

He picked her up carefully, and carried her back to the bed, his head never leaving it's resting place on her shoulder. He sat her down gently, and finally lifted his head to look at her, his eyes swollen and red from crying. "Bulma, I don't want to leave you. And that's exactly why I'm not. Even though I know it hurt you, you want me to be happy, and I am...when I'm here with you." He told her before pulling her face up to meet his, and planting a warm kiss on her soft lips.


~*I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that, I resemble*~


Bulma pulled away from him just long enough to give him a smile, before meeting his lips again, this time with more passion. He rolled over so that he was above her, and proceeded to run his hands over her tiny form slowly, as if attempting to memorize every curve. She let out a slight moan, and did the same to him, and soon, everything became a blur of sweaty bodies pressed against one another, untamed passion, and uncontrollable emotions, as the two made love for most of the night, falling asleep just as the sun peeked it's way over the horizon, setting fire to the dark sky.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Bulma exited her room sometime around noon, and yawned sleepily. She glanced into her bedroom once more, where the rather exhausted Saiyan still slept, snoring lightly. She smiled and bounced down the stairs happily, to find her mother slaving away in the kitchen. "Morning mom!" Bulma exclaimed, before plopping down at her seat at the table, her chin propped up in her arms.

"Bulma! Good morning to you too! Did you and Vegeta make up? I heard...noises coming from in there last night." She replied, a rather dopey grin on her face.

Bulma cringed slightly at the mention of Vegeta's name. She had yet to tell her parents the truth behind her breakup with the Saiyan Prince, and she didn't want to unless there was absolutely no other way. "Um...no....I. Um...well..." She stuttered, before looking up to see Goku standing in the kitchen doorway, scratching his head sleepily, clad only in his boxers.

"Morning Bulma, morning Mrs. Briefs." He said, before leaning in the kiss each of them on the cheek slightly.

"Why Goku! It's so good to see you! What brings you here?" Bulma's mother asked ditzily, before noticing Goku's attire, and then it hit her like a ton of bricks. "Oh! My, oh! Bulma, I didn't realize that you two were...Oh my this IS interesting! Well, I must say that if I had to chose a man to have an affair with, then Goku would be a definate consideration." She said merrily, before giving Bulma a slight wink.


~*I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't want to be,
Alone tonight*~


Bulma smacked herself on the forehead at her mother's stupidity, before attempting to break the situation down to her. "Mother, Goku and I aren't having an affair! He left ChiChi, and well, Vegeta is NOT coming back here, EVER again. Therefore we're both single, and it's not an affair. So, um, I guess Goku's my new boyfriend...heh, how strange does that sound?"

"Well, as long as you're happy dear, and from what I heard last night, he must be rather good in bed!" Mrs. Briefs chirped.

"Who's good in bed?" Dr. Briefs asked, having walked in on the tail end of the conversation. He glanced up from the paper to look at Goku, and it didn't seem to register that his daughter's best friend was standing in his kitchen, half naked, and his wife was talking about someone being good in bed. "Morning Goku! Or should I say good afternoon?" He asked, and started reading his paper, before jumping up from the table, and doing a complete double-take. "OH! So YOU'RE the one that's good in bed!" He exclaimed, before turning to look at Bulma, he raised an eyebrow slightly, but put it back down again when she flashed him her million dollar smile.

"Morning Daddy!" She exclaimed before jumping from the table to embrace him in a quick hug.

"Yeah, morning dad!" Goku chimed in behind her, before grabbing the purple haired man, and hugging him tightly.

"Dad, eh? I suppose I could grow to like that, but I do wish someone would clue me in as to what in the hell is going on here." He stated calmly, before turning to face his daughter once more

"Well daddy, it's a long story, and you're probably gonna wanna sit down for most of it." Bulma began, only to be cut off by Goku. He pulled her over to the side, and ran a finger across her collarbone, before speaking to her softly.

"Bulma...if you're going to tell them...tell them everything. They deserve to know, and I'm right here if you need me, ok?" He asked her kindly, before flashing her a slight grin, and leaning down to kiss her quickly.

"Do...Do you think I should? No, don't answer that, it was a stupid question, of course I should! They're my parents! They won't blame me for this...will they?" She tried to convince herself.

"Of course not, now come on, let's go." He told her, before leading her back to the table, and pulling out her chair for her...


~*What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?*~
