(A/N): Wow, it seems this past chapter has had a lot of success. I'm very glad you enjoy it, I didn't think many would think much of my story but looks like I was wrong. This is what makes writing fan fics worthwhile, what the audience thinks! Thank you so much for reviewing and taking the time to read my fic, I truly appreciate it. Love ya! ;)
Thanks fellow readers:
Tatoosh: I don't really find wicked pleasure in this. I'm probably as nervous as you, but for entirely different reasons. I'm worried that a chapter may not be as exciting as it should be and that I won't get any feedback or people to review. But that isn't an excuse, and even though this is my story and I know what is going to happen, I can't wait to update. Hey, that rhymes! Sorta, I think.
Buzz: You can always count on Vegeta, after all he *IS* a team player, just like he said in the Buu Saga. Right? Now lets see if his sacrifices were not in vain. You didn't have to wait too much, did you?
Chizuko-chan: Thanks for liking my fic. I know cliffhangers *ARE* evil in a way, but at least it doesn't break your interest in whatever you're reading.
Lady Sakura-chan: Why, thank you! Glad you enjoy it. ^_^
nicole-purple: We'll see what happens, I think you'll be glad of what happens, even if you think you know what's gonna happen and I might be playing hard to get. ;)
BlackDragonFury: Hey, no problem. At least you didn't completely forget about this fic. I know writer's block is really frustrating, most times I start writing and write and write and then after that I have no idea where to go with a story, but not this time. I made sure to write the whole thing before I started posting which makes it easier for both the readers and myself.
Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z/GT. Would I be posting fics on what I would like to happen, instead of having it on the actual series? I think not.
Save Me From This Pain, Chapter Six (Vegeta's POV)
Entering the open window in my room, I gently placed Kakarotto atop my bed. I guess I'm having the floor as a bed tonight. Great. Wait, what was I complaining about? I don't even sleep, stupid me.
I tiptoed to the window and left it open about an inch, to let some air in. I walk to my drawers and rummage through the first one as I searched for a senzu bean. It will surely cure him back to normal. Ah ha! I found it!
Pulling a chair next to the side of the bed and sitting on it, I stared at Kakarotto's features. I cupped his right cheek, opened his mouth, and placed the small green bean inside. I slowly coaxed it down his throat, making sure it made its way through to reach his stomach.
Good, his breathing was even now, but he still slept. I remained with his cheek in my hand, studying his face. So beautiful...
I blushed, good thing no one can see me. I would probably die of embarrassment. A voice in my head questioned my embarrassment in loving Kakarotto. Of course not, I'm happy I feel this way for him, but why haven't I admitted it to him already? Well, I'm afraid...
Right now you must be thinking, what? The Saiyan no Ouji scared? That must be the dumbest thing in the world! Hey, everyone has their own insecurities and fears, just because I act like I'm fearless doesn't mean I'm not. So, what am I afraid of? I am terrified that he will reject me. That he might look at me in disgust. That would be the worst thing in the world. I'll never be able to live it down. Now do you understand? It's not that important right now, all that matters is that he is alright. I guess once I'm ready, I will have the courage to confront him, but not now.
I observed his full pink lips. A shaky slender finger traced the curved petals. I would love to feel them against mine, but those don't belong to me. Unless they said, "I love you," they would, and I would give mine to his without a shadow of a doubt. I sighed, how did I become so sentimental?
I removed my hands from his cheek and stroked his wild mane. So free and not caring about the unorthodox position it is in. It's just like Kakarotto, his personality I mean. I don't know why I'm so upset, I should consider myself even lucky to be this close to him, even if I don't deserve it. I think about it longer and my conscience says I should take the opportunity as it may be the last time I'm this close to him. Right now, I do not care what happens, if he wakes up or if Trunks walks in, everything can go to hell. I've been denying this for so long and I've come this far, but then again I should wait. It is the smart thing to do. I should be glad that he is not going to depart from this world. I felt him lean in closer to my touch, and for the first time, I smiled, a true smile that would probably never even see broad daylight. I'm not so cold now, am I? I kissed his forehead softly, and buried my head in his locks. Relieved, I felt sleep reach out and grab me in its clutches...
(A/N): Very, very fluffy chapter with a tinge of angst. Vegeta was very OOC. I kinda warned he would be getting this way, but I don't see many people complaining and that's good to know. What will happen the next day? Will Goku wake up first or what? What will they say to each other after six months of dealing with new feelings? Please review so I can update soon. Call me!
