Bring Me To Life

Vegeta leaned back in his chair and watched the woman. She was eating his food, with a dreamy look in her eyes, not noticing the piercing gaze he sent her way. And apparently, not noticing the tantalizing picture she provided for this gaze, with her slightly disheveled hair, sparkling cerulean eyes, and slightly rumpled work clothes. Her lab coat was draped over the back of her chair.
Suddenly, Vegeta realized that she was staring right back. They sat their for along moment, gazing into each other eyes, one of the purest blue, the other dark, mysterious pools of intensity. A faint blush colored her cheeks, and she broke the connection and looked down. Vegeta let his eyes close for a moment, remembering the way she seemed to see to his very core. A place he was not entirely proud of.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
He stood up and began stalking out the door. Her soft voice calling his name made him pause in step. He stopped but did not turn around. There was a moment of silence, then she moved to stand in front of him. Her small hand touched his cheek as she told him to come to her if he ever needed to talk. He was a little confused about that (did human have to talk or something…talk about what?) but the closeness of her and her gentle touch stirred something deep within him.
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
He started to leave once more, then stopped when he heard the hurt sigh she gave. Without turning he hesitantly told the woman that he would do so and quickly fled to the Gravity Room. He spared one last look over his shoulder as he entered to training room and saw the look of happiness on her face. She then turned around, and disappeared from his view.
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
Vegeta turned the machine on, but did not begin his training. Levitating to the middle of the room, he folded his legs on his cushion of air and began meditating.
How was it that this woman could stir such feelings in him with a simple touch? He remembered having these feelings…loooong time ago. He also remember getting beaten to a near bloody pulp, for acting on them. Although not quite the same feelings perhaps. When he had been beaten, it was because he expressed a feeling of care for his mother as she left on a mission when he was three. His father had not been pleased to hear that his heir, one of the strongest Saiyans to be born in thousands of years, was clinging to the queen's leg, refusing to allow her onboard her pod. He had come down and taken the child himself, as well as "taught the lesson" himself.
No, this emptiness deep within his soul had not started with Frieza. It began the day he found out his mother would never be coming back.
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now this feeling that rose with the blue-haired woman….that was slightly different. With his mother, he had simply wanted the care and protection she had provided when he was little. With the woman, he wanted to protect and love her until the day that he died, making sure that she--
Wait a minute….LOVE? Vegeta's eyes flew open in horror. He had never in his entire life even thought this word in pertaining to himself, not even with his mother. He sat for a moment, not really thinking, then smirked. He was Prince. If he wanted to love someone, then no one could say otherwise and it was most definitely NOT a weakness…Not that anyone would be knowing these feelings he had…
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling
Only you are the life among the dead
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought without a voice without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
His mind now jumped to another problem. His woman --HIS?--had told him to come to him if he ever needed to talk. That he could tell her anything. He considered her words carefully, then a slow genuine smile crossed his face, lighting up his dark eyes. She had said anything. Well, she would soon find out that she had been chosen for the mate of the Prince of all Saiyans. He ignored the nagging thought in the back of his mind that perhaps he had been chosen instead. That was ridiculous, of course.
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
