Vegeta walks to the corner to rest. He leans his head against the wall and closes his eyes. I watch him as he rests. He has such beautiful features. I wonder why I feel so attracted to him. It is odd. I have never felt so attracted to anyone, let alone a fellow male.
I look over him. I feel a need to run my fingers through that long auburn hair of his. I feel a need to touch his chiseled muscles. I want to press my lips to his, and taste him. But I would never take advantage of this.
Vegeta looks up at me as if he sensed my stare. I look away from him quickly and close my eyes. I should sleep. I feel his stare on me now, but it is more like a glare. Does he have something against me?
" I think you got off easy." He grunts.
" What??" I ask in subtle shock.
" You get to sit here, in what seems to you like a hell hole, while I have to bare that foul creature laying his hands on me! And you think you've got it bad!"
" Vegeta, I almost died in here! They never fed me! I was starving!"
" I'd rather starve than have him take advantage of me." He states.
" But I kept him from doing so. And now you are in here with me. You should be a little more grateful," I say.
" Yes, but if you wouldn't have been so weak, we might not have been in this position in the first place. You seemed so confident before that you would reach the super saiyan level, but you didn't. You failed your friends and family. And now we are in this position. So as far as I'm concerned, you are to blame."
" That is not true! That is not true at all! How dare you try to blame me for this! You didn't put in half the effort that I did to defeat him!" I yell in aggravation.
" Oh just shut up Kakarot! I am no longer worried of who's to blame. I only want to get out of here." He turns his head to the wall.
" I'm sure we can find a way out of here... If we work together, that is.."
" Together? Work together?! Ha! What makes you think I would team up with you?!" He retorts.
" Trust me Vegeta, I can help us get out of here." I say quietly.
" I don't trust you Kakarot. I've tried that before, but you failed me."
I turn my head down after I hear this. It hurts..
" I don't need your trust anyway." I say.
" And I will find a way out of here on my own," Vegeta says.
" You are so stubborn Vegeta!" I yell at him.
" And you are a weak fool!!" He shouts.
" Vegeta, if you weren't so stubborn, we could pair up and get out of here..." I suggest.
" And what? Beat all of Frieza's fucking drones?! It's impossible, forget that I ever brought the possibility up!" Vegeta yells.
" Fine." I mutter.
-----------------
A week goes by, and we do not socialize the whole time. We ignored each other best we could, until dinner would come. Then we would be forced to share, but not talk. We did not talk much. Until one day.
" Vegeta, do you think your wound is healed?" I ask.
" Possibly." He looks at his hand.
" Shall I remove the bandages?" I ask.
" I can do it myself!" Vegeta says as he tugs off the bandages, wincing in slight pain. " This one is sore, but other than that, most of my fingers feel fine."
I take off my bandages and move my fingers about. They seemed to have healed just fine. I smile and then look at Vegeta, who is trying to bend his harmed one.
" Vegeta, I can help with that."
" I already said, I do not need your help!!" He screams and turns away from me.
I walk up to him and take his hand. This time I do not have to force him. He willingly lets me try and help him, even if he would not say so.
I take his finger and gently massage it. It may not have healed in the right position, or it just might be sore still. I do not know. I move my fingers about his one slowly, paying attention to what strikes pain, and what feels better. I massage it for a couple of minutes, and then look up at him.
Vegeta quickly pulls his hand to his chest.
" How does it feel?" I ask.
" Better," He answers, " Thank you."
We sit silently for a couple of moments as he moves his hand around, trying to get used to the feeling of freshly mended bones.
" Kakarot, I have a question."
" Yes, Vegeta?"
" How is it that no matter what I do or say to you, you still respect me?" He asks in a serious tone.
" I don't know.. I have always respected everyone." I admit.
" But I have not shown you equal respect." He looks into my eyes.
" I know, but that's just you Vegeta. I hope one day you will learn to respect me, even if it comes slowly." I say, hopeful.
Vegeta laughs as if what I said was foolish.
" I guess you just know how you should treat royalty," He says, smugly.
" No, you're just a little important to me."
" How so?" He asks in confusion.
" You are a friend. All of my friends deserve respect."
" You think I am your friend?! Ha."
" Oh you are, and you know you care about me in return. In some way at least."
" Ha! Keep making things up Kakarot," He states with sarcasm.
" No I am serious. And I know how you are. I know you really are a good man inside, you just hide your true side. You only show your tough side so that you will not seem weak. But there is no reason to hide your true feelings or self around me. I do not care..." I speak with a smile.
" You speak so foolishly Kakarot! I've heard enough! You're cracking me up!" Vegeta laughs.
" I said I am serious!!"
" Whatever Kakarot."
" Fine Vegeta, ignore it all. Though it is clear to see. I always feel your emotions."
This seems to strike Vegeta in a different way. His head jerks up and he looks at me.
" How is that?"
" I do not know! I have just been able to feel what you have felt lately.."
" But that can't be! That would mean-" He stops mid-sentence.
" What, Vegeta?"
" Nothing Kakarot, just ignore what I said. I don't believe you anyway."
" But it's true. I can feel your feelings right now too. You are confused, I can tell."
Vegeta looks up at me with even more confusion than before, and I can feel it. I can feel it all. I have been able to feel his feelings since a while back. I have felt them since I first started to actually care for him.
" I still say you are acting foolish."
" Vegeta, you care for me, come on, admit it." I laugh.
" Ha! Sure I would help you out if you were in a tight position, but only because I owe it to you!" Vegeta covers up for himself.
" That's because you hold some respect for me! I know it!"
" So what if I do?"
" That's all I wanted to know." I smile.
With that Vegeta grunts, and turns his nose up. He walks to another corner, the darkest one, and meditates. He sits quietly, and I begin to feel bored. I do not expect him to speak to me for a while, but as shocking as it is, he does.
" I could feel your feelings occasionally. It's just something that comes with time between two saiyans. But of course you would not know that, you know nothing of our race."
" But why would that happen to us?" I ask.
" Because....." His voice becomes very hushed as if he doesn't want me to hear, " because we share equal feelings for... each other..."
I look up in shock. Is he admitting to...??
