Chapter 5 - Beautiful
Goku sighed. He was laying on the ground outside of the house that he had originally met his new friends at.
The landscaping in Hell wasn't much different than that on Earth... Sure, everything was a lot duller and there were no cities or parks or anything, but there were deserts and trees... There was a grassy kinda moss on the ground, which was a deep red color and smelled of moth balls. Goku was laying on his back outside the back door, his hands behind his head. He dragged his eyes across a starless violet sky and swallowed.
Their trip back "home" had been a peaceful one, if you could call it that. He had caught sightings of small, cat-like creatures scampering around the place. When he had asked Radditz what they were, his brother had replied with something like, "Oh, they're the Intra Demons. They kind of rule this place. They don't really look harmful, but once you bring a hand against them, you're up for a pretty bad beating. Just leave 'em alone." Goku smiled at the thought. He had a big brother now...
"I wonder what Vegeta's doing?" he thought aloud. Indeed, he did miss the saiyan prince. He missed everybody, really, having been dead for so long... His theory on him being the major threat to the Earth had proved 90% correct, and so he didn't really regret leaving everyone behind. But Vegeta... Goku sighed through his nose. How he missed him...
The door behind Goku's head squeaked minutely and quickly shut with a bang. The Earth Saiyan didn't bother turning to look, as he figured it was probably just someone putting something on the back porch. He was surprised, however, when a burly saiyan laid down beside him and mimicked his position. Goku turned his head and blinked at Radditz.
The elder looked over at him before turning his eyes back to the sky. "It's kind of beautiful, isn't it?"
"What?"
"The sky. It reminds me of the sunsets back on Vegetasei..."
"Hmm...Radditz?"
"Yeah?"
"Tell me more about our home planet..."
"Do you miss it?"
Goku nodded, still looking at the sky.
"Well...there wasn't much scenery. I guess it was kind of like one huge desert... Everything was kind of a tan color, or some sort of white stone. I couldn't tell you what it was, though, I didn't pay much attention at school." He chuckled. "Nobody really cared about the planet. We were never there long enough, really. And those of us who were, were usually either at the palace or inside enjoying time with our mates.
Everything was based on power and class. It didn't matter who you were- if you were third class, you didn't matter. You were expendable. Hell, nobody even noticed you unless you were a major criminal, traitor, freak of nature, or you reached an unimaginable level of power. Like you."
Goku blushed and looked over at his brother.
"We were all so incredibly stupid when we were alive... There were enough egos on the planet to smother a small planet, figuratively speaking. Nobody even considered an attack on the planet... Especially the King. Zorn thought about it from time to time, but if he brought it up with his majesty, he'd just be yelled at for a while and sent on some menial task. Heh, I guess we were shown a thing or two about overestimating ourselves..."
"Yeah... So why does everybody think I'm a traitor?"
"It's like I said. We were stupid and close-minded... Anybody who was different from us was wrong. It's been that way since forever ago... We were preached to that we have to kill or be killed, and that only the strong survive, blah blah blah... Emotion was strongly frowned upon, since, as you know, it was considered an immense weakness. When you hit your head and lost all of this conditioning, it was like a new breed of saiyan was created. You're not one of who we are, Kakarot," he smiled faintly and turned on his side to look at Goku, "you're one of who we should have been."
Goku's eyes widened considerably. He also turned onto his side, bringing him nearly nose-to-nose with Radditz. He frowned, his eyebrows drawing together. There was so much angst in his brother's eyes... A thousand turrets of emotion, all rushing a million miles per hour. Goku felt a pang go through his heart. Now that he thought about it, he was immensely proud of his brother who, at the moment, was gazing at Goku like he could see the back of his skull and beyond. "...Radditz?"
The larger saiyan tilted his head, closed his eyes, and leaned in to capture Goku's lips.
The younger's eyes shot skyward as he froze, while Radditz pulled away. He blinked several times and stuttered.
"What's wrong?"
"You...you just kissed me..."
"What's wrong with that?"
"You're a guy! Furthermore, you're my BROTHER..."
Radditz frowned.
"Kissing a person of the same sex, ESPECIALLY if they were related to you on earth, was 'frowned upon' nearly as much as emotion on Vegetasei..."
"That's stupid."
"What?"
"Back home, kissing is merely exchanged as a sign of great affection. It's the same with sex, unless you were mated. Siblings, friends, parents and children...They all do it."
Goku gaped.
"Are you mated?"
Goku shook his head. "Humans can't return a bond."
"Then why does it make you uncomfortable? It shouldn't, now that you know it's okay, right?"
"I don't know... It's still weird. I was brought up as a human for nearly 18 years."
Radditz frowned deeper. "I know."
A sigh. Goku looked at Radditz again and thought 'Well, I'm supposed to be saiyan, and by God, I'm sick of being taunted by Vegeta and being called a weak human! It's now or never, Goku, you've got to learn to be a full-blood if you want to get anywhere...' "Radditz?"
"Hm?"
"...Wanna try again? I don't think it'll be as weird if I'm expecting it."
"Are you sure? I won't do it if it makes you uncomfortable."
"I'm sure."
Radditz looked at his brother and slipped the hand that wasn't supporting him behind Goku's head. They both slid their eyes shut, and their lips met. The kiss was soft at first; hesitant. Radditz took Goku's bottom lip between his and sucked slightly, asking if the kiss could possibly be taken any further. His reply came when Goku parted his lips and blew ever so softly into his brother's mouth. Their tongues danced against each other before delving into the other's mouth, sliding and caressing.
Radditz massaged the back of Goku's scalp in a comforting way and leaned further into the kiss. He sucked on his brother's tongue, taking it in as far as possible. The elite used his own appendage to tickle the roof of Goku's mouth, or to run it along his teeth and end in trying to pin Goku's tongue down. This earned him a smile before they pulled back. The lion- maned saiyan grinned slightly. "Better?"
Goku smiled. "Much. Where'd you learn to kiss like that, anyway?"
"Oh, around." His grin grew. "You should try Turlis or Zorn sometime...They put me to shame."
The younger saiyan chuckled and met his brother's lips again, just a brief brush. His lips twitched into a soft, sad smirk as he thought about Vegeta again. Radditz frowned. "Something wrong?"
"Oh, no. Just thinking about Vegeta."
"Our prince?"
"Yeah, you should see him sometime... From what I know about his childhood, which is VERY little, he's changed a lot..."
"Heh, haven't we all..."
"I guess so." Goku yawned and stretched. "I'm so tired... I think more's happened in the past day than I've done in this year so far..."
Radditz chuckled. "C'mere, Kakarot." He sat up and took his brother into his arms and stroked his hair. A lullaby eminated from the large saiyan; a sad, rich tune. Goku fell asleep within minutes.
The big brother looked at the sleeping man in his arms. The savior of the universe, the super saiyan, the one in a million...
"My little brother," he whispered. Radditz carried him in through the bedroom window and tucked the saiyan into bed.
AN: a little shorter this time, since I couldn't put the whole chapter... hehe, you asked for a little "fun" between Goku and a saiyan baddie or two, and I wrote it! But since ff.net's a prude and won't let people put the good stuff up, I had to post this instead. Not to worry, though, I know how it feels to be left hangin! Just lemme know if you wanna read the steamy stuff in a review and I'll email it to ya! ^_~
