Vegeta woke up the next morning half covered in sand. He sat up drearily and saw he was on the beach where the luau had been the previous night. His fists had dried blood on them but the cuts had more or less healed. His eyes still ached from all the tears he had shed when Goku had left.
"Kakarott…" he had just walked away- a second time! He must really hate me. He got to his feet and started walking towards the apartments on the other side of the beach. "Have to…get Kakarott…out of there…He can't…be with him…I can't…let him…" he stopped outside the main doors. Goku's ki signal was coming from three stories up, five across. Vegeta opened the doors and started walking towards the stairs.
"Sir are you alright?" he looked over to the reception area where a teenage girl was looking at him worriedly. Vegeta thought he must look a state- covered in sand, dried blood on his hands, hair ruffled, half dragging himself along.
"Fan-bloody-tastic." Vegeta muttered before walking towards the stairs once more.
"Maybe you should take the lift!" the girl called after him. Vegeta stopped. He walked back down and saw a lift right next to the stairs. How could I have missed that? He sighed and entered the lift.
"Ok… G is for ground floor…so I need…3…" the lift purred slightly as it ascended. "I'm coming Kakarott." Vegeta murmured.
I'm still not interested. Goodbye Vegeta. Go back to your wife…. how she can love you is beyond me. The doors opened on the third floor but Vegeta didn't get out. Goku's words still stung and he had made it quite obvious he didn't want anything to do with him. Vegeta shook his head roughly and got out. However, he tripped over an up turned rug and fell to the floor. He snarled and got up, rubbing his head. "I'M SUING YOU FOR DAMAGES!!!" he yelled at the hotel. He headed to the room Goku's ki was coming from. Room 35. Vegeta made this his new most hated number. He knocked vigorously on the door. He heard someone inside run to the door.
Goku opened it hurriedly.
"Shh! You'll wake up…oh it's you…" Goku glanced at Vegeta. "What the hell happened to you?" Vegeta was unable to talk. He was too busy staring at Goku, who only had a bed sheet wrapped around him.
"Kakarott…did you…"
"What? Have sex with him again? I don't really think that's any of your business." Fresh tears sprung up in Vegeta's eyes. "You…should go back to the hotel. You look like crap. Go and have a shower or something." Goku backed away from the door to shut it.
"NO!" Vegeta lunged at him and wrapped his arms tightly around Goku's waist.
"Let go!" Goku cried, trying to pry Vegeta's hand off him. It was no use. Vegeta wasn't budging.
"Goku?" a voice called from the bedroom. "Is something wrong?" Vegeta glanced up pleadingly at Goku who sighed in defeat.
"Nothing Wosushi. Just some sales guy."
"Tell them to get lost."
"I did." Goku called. "Get off me now and I'll come with you." he whispered down at Vegeta. Vegeta let go and stood up straight. Goku slammed the door in his face. For a while, Vegeta had a sinking feeling Goku wasn't coming back out, but a few minutes later, Goku emerged, pulling his t-shirt over his head. "I told Wosushi I was going out for breakfast." Goku said, glowering at Vegeta. "This is the first and last time I will be doing so." Vegeta looked sadly up at Goku. There was no emotion in his eyes, and for what he saw, Vegeta was surprised Goku had even left the house with him.
"Kakarott…I'm so s…"
"Don't say you're sorry Vegeta. People like you never mean it." Goku started walking away from him up the hallway.
"But I do!" Vegeta ran to catch up with Goku. "You have to believe me Kakarott! I don't lie to you!"
"Yes you do. And even if you didn't, that would mean when you called me a whore you meant it." Vegeta was well and truly stumped by that.
"Look, Kakarott…just beat me up then!" Goku turned around to look confusedly at Vegeta.
"Huh?"
"If it'll make things the way they were, just beat me up and get it over with so you can go back to not hating me! I won't fight back!" Goku smiled- actually smiled- at Vegeta. The prince cringed slightly as Goku raised his arm, but instead of punching him, Goku just pulled Vegeta into a hug.
"Sometimes you can be so thick." Goku whispered. Vegeta had started crying again…which he couldn't understand himself because he was so happy right now. He wrapped his arms back around Goku's waist and continued to cry into the taller Saiyan's chest. "I don't want to beat you up Vegeta…I just don't think I can forgive you for calling me…that. It just hurt so much."
"Please believe me, I am sorry…" Vegeta said. It was half muffled because he was talking through Goku's t-shirt. Goku sighed and let go of Vegeta. Moving back from him. Vegeta looked up at him in sorrow but saw Goku was smiling at him.
"C'mon. You need a shower and I need to eat." Vegeta looked around him and saw he was in their hotel room.
"How…?"
"You should know by now." Goku said, grinning. Vegeta nodded and headed to the bathroom, still very confused. He stopped at the door.
"You won't leave will you?" he asked.
"No Vegeta. I promise." Vegeta sighed to himself and entered the bathroom.
Goku sat down on the sofa and stared at the floor. What was he doing? He was happy with Wosushi, but all it took was Vegeta crying to make Goku forget all about the surfer. Why did Vegeta have that effect on him? Could I love him?
"Um… Kakarott?" Goku turned around to see Vegeta poking his head around the doorway, dripping soapy water onto the floor. "Where's the shampoo?"
"In the cupboard by the sink." Goku answered. Vegeta closed the door again and Goku smiled faintly.
"Yes…I think I do…"
It took Vegeta two hours to reach a state of cleanliness that was acceptable to him. He got out of the shower and dressed, hoping to god Goku was still outside. He opened the door and scanned the room. Goku was over by the window, staring out. He looked around and saw Vegeta.
"Finally. I was beginning to think you'd drowned in there!" he grinned.
"Are you speaking to me now?" asked Vegeta.
"I just did." Goku said. Vegeta snorted. "Come on. I'm so hungry I could eat a hippo."
They went to a restaurant facing the beach and ordered twenty-five burgers and a hell of a lot of chips. Goku proceeded to stuff his face and Vegeta soon followed, eating as much as him but failing to look so much like a bottomless pit somehow. After it was all gone, Goku sat back and sighed.
"That was a great starter." He said grinning.
"Kakarott."
"Mm?"
"You still haven't told me… what you're going to do…"
"About what?"
"About everything! That baka surfer for starters…are you still…going back to him?" Goku thought for a while.
"Dunno." Vegeta looked down at the table. After all this, he still doesn't know for sure if he's leaving him. "I just don't see how it's fair on him. He really loves me and… me being stupid I wanna please everyone. That's how I ended up sleeping with him the first time." Goku sighed, "If you hadn't been so horrible to me when I came back after, I would have never gone near him again." Vegeta's head shot up.
"What?!"
"Well, when he was…you know…I was thinking, something was wrong, and I worked out it was you. I couldn't stop thinking about you so I wanted to stop, but that wouldn't have been fair on Wosushi… so I just let him go on…" Vegeta was speechless.
"Kakarott… you should have stopped him! If he really loved you he would have stopped!"
"Oh he did, I just told him to take me when I saw how much he wanted me. That's the bad thing about me. I try to please everyone." Vegeta groaned slightly and bashed his head down on the table. Goku smiled sadly at him. "And then I went back to you to ask you how you felt about me…and you said the things you did…so I went back to him." Vegeta looked up.
"I was angry and upset. I've loved you for years and some guy got further with you than I ever had in two days."
"Yeah, I can see why you were angry, but it still hurt." Goku put his hand on Vegeta's shoulder. Vegeta stared at him. Before anything else was said, the door to the restaurant flew open and in walked Wosushi.
"Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone had seen someone called…Goku!" he spotted them in the corner and marched over to them.
"Uh…hi Wosushi."
"Hello love." Wosushi bent down and brought their lips together. Vegeta turned away and cringed. Wosushi broke away after a while and looked at him. "I see you're with Vegeta."
"Yeah I met him in here." Goku lied. The surfer sat down next to Goku and smirked at Vegeta.
"Good day Vegeta. Not corrupting my Goku are you?" Vegeta glowered at him.
"You bastard." He muttered.
"Now now Vegeta, no need for that kind of language." He's talking to me as if I'm a small child! Vegeta continued to glare at him. Wosushi smirked in triumph.
"Come on Goku. You could learn bad habits off this one." He got up to leave but Goku didn't move. Vegeta was delighted to see this.
"I…I think I'll stay a while." Goku said, looking warily at Wosushi.
"Suit yourself, but I was gonna teach you how to ride on the harsher waves on the other side of the island. It's a real rush." Vegeta saw Goku's eyes widen in excitement. He looked desperately at Vegeta then back at Wosushi, stuck between a rock and a hard place…
"Go on Kakarott, I don't mind." Vegeta said. He didn't mean it of course, but anything to make Goku happy. Goku beamed at him.
"Come on. You're coming too." Wosushi looked momentarily angry before shrugging it off and putting his arm around Goku's waist.
"C'mon. Before the bigger waves subside." Vegeta glared at him and wondered why Goku was letting Wosushi do that. He followed them out and all the way to the other side of the island. It took quite a long time and by the time they got there, Vegeta was snappy and short tempered.
"It would have took us a quarter of the time it did to get here if we just flew!" he whispered to Goku, who just grinned.
"Come over here!" Wosushi called. He was standing near a man a little bit taller than Goku- only by a few millimetres. He had short, spiky purple hair that shot out in all directions making him look very much like the palm tree he was standing by. Goku tried not to laugh at this. "Are you Goku?" the man called. Goku nodded, walking over to him, Vegeta following.
"Who are you?"
"My name's Josh. I'm a friend of Wosushi's. He tells me you're quite the natural born surfer." Goku grinned.
"I guess I'm ok." Wosushi snorted.
"He's better than ok. On his second lesson, he was damn near completing a master's move in the calm waves. I think he only didn't coz he was tired." Josh clapped his hands together.
"Right then. Let's see what you can do on the dangerous side of the island!"
Goku soon discovered the waves were a lot more erratic over on this side of the island. He ended up falling off when the wave he was riding with abruptly stopped and was replaced by a much bigger one that crashed right over his head. Goku swam back to shore cursing under his breath.
"Well I must say, that was very good first for this side of the island. Most people don't even get to stand up on their first go." Josh was standing waiting for him. "You need to learn how to tell when the waves will change. This side of the island is very unpredictable. I can teach you if you want. I need fresh blood around here." Goku looked at Wosushi, who nodded. Vegeta was getting angry at the total lack of attention Goku was giving him.
"I'm only here for a month." Goku said, looking up at Josh. It was really weird for him to be shorter than someone. Looking up wasn't something he was used to doing unless he was on the floor.
"Hmm. You might not be a pro by then, but I can certainly teach you not to fall off in that time."
"Sounds good." Goku smiled. "Um…I don't have to pay you for these lessons do I?"
"Oh no. Just give me your soul." Goku's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open. Josh laughed.
"Wosushi was right! You are gullible! I'm joking Goku!" Goku grinned embarrassedly.
"Sorry."
"Kakarott! Can I have a word with you?" Goku turned towards Vegeta, seeing the Saiyan prince was looking very angry.
"Sure." Goku headed towards him.
"First of all, let me thank you for letting me know just how well someone can ignore me." Vegeta snapped.
"But…"
"Why did you even bring me here?! It's quite obvious nothing's changed!"
"I don't hate you anymore!"
"But will you ever love me?" Goku looked surprised.
"Vegeta…I…I'm with someone else now. It wouldn't be fair on him to…"
"You can't do this to me! It's not fair on me!" Goku was getting really short tempered. He was starting to really resent the fact that two people loved him- and he loved both of them. He had seen a similar predicament to his on a TV show, and on there, the woman had gone with the guy she was with. It was the best thing to do, she had said. And it was the best thing for Goku…especially since… "Are you even listening to me?!" Vegeta yelled. Goku growled under his breath, which was surprising to Vegeta in itself.
"Now you listen here! I'm with Wosushi ok?? Not you! Stop coming to me and trying to wreck my life!" Vegeta stared at him. He took a few steadying breaths and shook his head. No no no this couldn't be happening! After all that he'd done, all the pleading, the pride shattering grovelling…Goku was still going back to Wosushi.
"That's… your choice?" he asked Goku. Goku just nodded.
"I'm sorry Vegeta. You'll find someone else. Or you could go back to Bulma? Tell Chi Chi I'm sorry for me. I wont be seeing her again. I'm going to live with Wosushi."
"Are you finished over there?" Wosushi called.
"Yep!" Goku said quickly, he walked back to the two surfers and turned to Josh. "So when do lessons start?" Vegeta just watched for a while before coming to the conclusion Goku wasn't coming back. He sighed and took to the air, flying back to the hotel.
That night Goku, Wosushi and Josh went to the luau together.
"I'll get the drinks in." Josh said smiling. "What do you guys want?"
"I'll have my usual cocktail." Wosushi said. He was sitting with his arm around Goku's waist
"Er…I'll just have a coke…"
"Come on Goku! Be adventurous!" Josh interrupted. "Live a little!"
"Just get him another cocktail." Josh nodded and walked away.
Unbeknownst to them, Vegeta was watching them from across the luau. The prince had never felt such a pure, seething rage and hate towards someone ever before. Right now, Wosushi was whispering things into Goku's ear. Goku seemed to get redder and redder.
"Eheheheh… is that even possible?" he asked, grinning sheepishly.
"We'll soon find out." Wosushi purred. Vegeta couldn't take much more of this. You would have thought he would have learnt his lesson by now, but oh no… He got up and marched over, punching Wosushi with such force, he hurtled onto the beach behind them.
"Vegeta what the fuck do you think you're doing?!" Vegeta clenched his hands into fists and his hair sparkled gold. " Just…calm down Vegeta." Goku said slowly. He had noticed the flash of gold and was getting worried. If Vegeta really got mad, this whole island was done for. He looked behind him and saw Wosushi struggling to his feet. "Why are you doing this Vegeta?" Vegeta's eyes were streaming, but the rest of his face showed no emotion.
"You've stretched me far beyond my limits Kakarott." he murmured. "If I can't have you, no one can."
"No! Vegeta please!"
"I wont kill you. I love you. It's him I'm killing."
"I'm getting sick and tired of this!" Wosushi yelled. There was blood leaking from his lips. "Why don't you just leave us alone?!"
"What's going on?" Josh had returned.
"I'm about to kill him over there." Vegeta said. A strange, manic grin spread across his face. Goku could tell he was slipping back…back to being a ruthless murderer.
"No! Vegeta…do you want to know the real reason I chose Wosushi over you?" Vegeta looked back at Goku.
"Why?" Goku sighed. He had hoped Vegeta would never find out about this.
"I love you both…but I knew when you found out about something…you wouldn't love me." Vegeta frowned.
"You know I'll always lo…"
"Shhh. Let me tell you…" Goku interrupted. By now, everyone in the luau was watching them. Goku paid them no attention- and started lowering his ki. He dropped it as low as it could go without him dying- and waited for Vegeta to realise that he wasn't alone. The expression on the Saiyan prince's face changed, and Goku knew what Vegeta was going to say before he did.
"You're pregnant?!"
