With You
By Pikachu Hunter
Chapter Six: Affection
Vegeta was almost frozen, but he had to do this...there was no going back now. Bulma was still sitting there, with her eyes
closed, as he cautiously moved closer. She didn't move or talk. She thought this might be part of his plan. Close your eyes...this meant
some sort of surprise was coming, right? And surprises that you closed your eyes for were usually good ones. She wondered if this had to
do with the favor he still owed her.
Vegeta warily moved yet closer to the girl, who seemed so unsuspecting as to what his intentions were, he felt almost guilty for
wanting to kiss her so badly. This is what he had been waiting for...one moment where he could just be with her, and not have to say
anything, but still know the other's feelings. He was afraid to do it though...
"Vegeta, is this some sort of joke?" Bulma asked. She was not going to sit with her eyes closed for much longer, at least not
without talking. Vegeta moved away. "It's not, Bulma. It's very...serious. And strong. I'm just...rethinking something. I don't know if I can do
it." He said.
"Don't worry, I won't be mad or laugh. I promised you, didn't I?" Bulma reassured him.
"You're right. Okay, then, don't talk, because I am going to show you what I need to say." Vegeta was confident, now. Just a few
seconds of silence, to set in some atmosphere for the feeling, and then he'd do it. He advanced forwards, moving very close to her, and
closed his eyes while pressing his lips on hers, kissing her softly on the mouth. Bulma almost opened her eyes in surprise, but
remembered she said she wouldn't. But...here was Vegeta! Kissing her! Her, of all people, he'd chosen to kiss, and he was making it seem
like more than just any old kiss, like it was special. It was, though. It was Bulma's first real kiss, and the first time Vegeta had ever kissed
anyone in his entire life. Bulma kissed back, tears of joy in her eyes. She was glad this was what he'd wanted to say...it felt so amazing to be
kissed by him...and Vegeta felt like he was back in his dreams, and this wasn't real, it felt so good...bliss...
Vegeta pulled away from her, his eyes now opened, already astounded that Bulma had accepted the kiss and hadn't pushed
him away. Bulma's eyelids fluttered and revealed two sparkling sapphire irises, and she smiled at him. He blushed, and so did she. Bulma
looked at the floor. "That's what it was...?"
"Yes."
"I love you too, you know." Bulma said, hopeful of the meaning of the kiss. She was correct, as Vegeta took her in his arms and
held her close. She ran her fingers through his hair, then remembered the dreams. She should admit to them. "Vegeta, about a week ago, I
had a dream about you." She recalled. "On the night it rained."
"Are you serious?" Vegeta asked. This was odd...that's when he'd had his dream!
"Yeah, why?"
"I dreamt about you that night."
"You did?" Bulma shifted in his arms and looked at him thinking he was joking. He nodded. "How..." Bulma couldn't finish her
sentence, and rested her head on his shoulder, wanting the embrace to last forever.
"Bulma..." Vegeta started.
"Hmm...?"
"May I ask your father to court you...?"
"Court? What?" Bulma scratched her head.
"Courtship is like dating...but a little different, by my planet's standards." Vegeta answered.
"You mean, you want me to be, like, your girlfriend?" Bulma wondered. She was jumping up and down like an excited fourth-
grader in her head, so happy she could fall on her face six or seven times and still be smiling. Of course she would!
"UH-huh..." Vegeta grinned.
"Forget Dad, I say yes!" Bulma lit up like the Sun on a spring day. She was at a loss of words over the mind capacity of a little
kid's, she couldn't breathe... Vegeta laughed. When had she ever seen him laugh? Or smile? Was she the first to succeed in such a feat?
"I have to ask your father, though. it's the way it works on Vegeta-sei." Vegeta said.
