With You

Chapter Eleven: Solution To Illness
Kami looked gravely at the ground. "I am afraid there is nothing I can do about Bulma's sickness. The poisons within her are too strong for my power to withstand against it." He said solemnly.
"I know that already! Maybe you can't help her, but someone must be able to! There has to be a cure!" Vegeta yelled. He couldn't deal with losing someone...again. He'd gone through the death of his father, that was bearable. But...to lose Bulma would break his heart...the icy heart that had barely begun to thaw in the heat of love for the young girl before him, who lay in pain and uncomfortable sleep.
Kami shook his head. "No, there is nothing I know of that--"
"Kami, what about the Senzu Beans?!" Mr. Popo emerged in the conversation as a sudden intelligent mind.
"Of course!" Kami nodded excitedly, then drooped his head after a second. "Only...we have run out of them. There are no more on the plant at Korin's Tower...but, if you want, I will tell you when they have grown, and make sure that Bulma is cared for if you would like to leave her here and continue her training."
Vegeta thought about this. He could let Bulma stay in a place where she would have everything she needed until she was treated, or... "No. I will stay here until she recovers." Vegeta answered. He sat down in front of Bulma and watched her, as if, any second, she would pull out of the sickness completely healed, and sit up to hug him. Kami was shocked. Maybe he should have been paying less attention to what Goku was doing in his training, and have watched a supposed new blossoming love at the Breifs manor. "Are you serious? You want to stay here--with Bulma--you?!" Kami asked.
"...Yes." Vegeta turned red. Here came the questions...
"Why?!" Kami gaped.
Vegeta couldn't answer the Namek...he was too proud to say he'd fallen in love with a human girl. A human! Not even of his own race, was one he'd chosen to show the weakest emotion of all for.
There was a long silence between the three atop the Lookout, before--
"Say, what's going on here?" Goku said, taking two fingers from his forehead.
"Kakkarot, what are you doing here?!" Vegeta turned around, beet red. Goku would know his secret if he saw Bulma there! He would somehow use his simple mind to guess exactly what was going on, and the jig would be up! Everyone would know Vegeta's secret!
"Uh...hiya, Vegeta! I just came by to say hello. What are you doing here?" Goku waved, surprised to see the other Saiyan at Kami's Lookout. "Are you visiting Kami and Mr. Popo too?" He asked.
"Rr..." Vegeta looked for a way to hide the fact that he was sitting right there, right beside Bulma, facing her. Goku walked over to shake Mr. Popo's hand. "Hey, Mr. Popo, how are--Why's Bulma asleep on the ground?" Goku noticed the girl's body.
"Bulma is ill. Vegeta brought her here." Kami answered.
"Vegeta? Aw, isn't that cute! He likes her!" Goku, being himself, laughed out loud with his hands on his hips. Vegeta closed his eyes. Now was not the time to express his agitation....
"I bet you're going to ask her on a date, huh?" Goku said, putting a hand over his mouth and recalling the boy from the future, Trunks, and what he'd said about who his parents were. A shocker at first, but now an ideal sum of interest was applied.
That was the last straw for Vegeta. "Kakkarot, you imbecile! Why don't you just shout it to the whole world?! And I can't ask her on a date, because her father thinks I am too old for her!" Vegeta blurted out.
"Hahaha, really? Say, Vegeta, how old are you, really?" Goku asked through hearty laughs.
"Only twenty!" Vegeta yelled.
"That means you're only three years apart, though!"
"I know!"
"That's not that old...hm...." Goku tapped his chin. "Well, I have to get back to Chi-Chi, or she'll be really mad at me for being so late. I'll see you two lovebirds in a few years, okay? Bye!" The Saiyan had put two fingers to his forehead and disappeared before Vegeta had a moment to protest against the term 'lovebirds.'
"So that's it...? You're in love with Bulma?" Kami asked.
"Rrr..." Vegeta clenched his fists and gave Kami a stare that could start bonfires and freeze planets if they wanted to. Kami slowly backed away, along with Mr. Popo, and they hid inside the small house in the middle of the Lookout.
"Please get better, Bulma. I'm going to get those Senzu Beans for you, no matter what." Vegeta put on a face of determination.
