Mirai Dragonball Z
I Still Believe In You
Oneshot
Vegeta was never a very kind man. He wasn't a very talkative one either. His emotions were always locked up, even when he started feeling for the human named Bulma Briefs. Even after she had said that she loved him, he still kept his feelings inside, claiming he felt nothing for her. Yet when their son was born everything changed and he started to see how short life was, the sadness in the brat's eyes at his fathers passing and the tears his mother cried. They both knew how much Kakorott loved them, but how would his mate feel when he died thinking that he didn't love her?
-Everybody wants a little piece of my time
But still I put you at the end of the line
How it breaks my heart to cause you this pain
To see the tears you cry falling like rain
Give me the chance to prove
And I'll make it up to you-
And so it was that the day before he went to fight that he found her in 'their' room, crying on the bed. The Saiyan Prince instantly froze at the scene; his dark coal eyes no longer so emotionless as they had always been. Silently he walked over towards the bed, hesitating for a moment before he sat down and pulled her against his chest.
"Vegeta..."
"Will you trust me, woman? To take you somewhere," he had asked her, his voice sounding so normal and calm. She had only nodded as he picked her up and flew away from Capsule Corporation, being careful to hide his ki signature.
-I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby I still believe in you and me-
He had taken her to one of the few beautiful flower fields left near a cliff. Her blue eyes were full of awe as he landed, never taking his arms from around her.
"This is beautiful, Vegeta. I love you so much," she stated as she turned around to face him. Coal met gentle sky blue as he leaned down and captured her lips with his own in a passionate kiss. At first she was surprised, but soon she returned it. Yet we cannot live without breathe and soon they pulled away, his coal eyes shining with something unknown.
"Understand, woman. I might not be coming back tomorrow."
"Vegeta-" She started, but was silenced as he placed his gloved finger to her lips.
"I love you, woman. I'm not one for foolish emotions, but Kakorott's death showed me something. His brat and mate cried, even though they knew he loved them. I don't want my mate and son crying over my own, thinking I never cared."
-Somewhere along the way, I guess I just lost track
Only thinking of myself
Never looking back
For all the times I hurt you, I apologize
I'm sorry it took so long to finally realize
Give me the chance to prove
That nothing's worth losing you-
"Vegeta...I've always known that you cared, you just don't often show emotions beside annoyance and anger," she replied softly, giving the Prince of all Saiyans a smile, and yet he could still see something sad in her eyes.
"I apologize, for causing you any pain. It's taken me years to realize this, and even six months after I reconized it myself. As I've said, I don't care much for emotions, woman. Yet nothing is worth losing my mate, or son," he stated as he stared at her. He wouldn't be able to watch over her and his son anymore, but he had a feeling the Namekian would save Kakorott's brat. In saving him, he would insure the earthings had more time as well as his son having a future in fighting.
-I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby I still believe in you and me
Baby
I still believe in you
With a love that will always be
Standing so strong and true
Baby I still believe in you and me-
Now Vegeta is no longer and he watches his family from the heavens above. He still believes in their love even though it's been years since she's said anything to Trunks about him. He was right, about the Namekian saving Gohan, who is now the only chance at survival that the earthlings have. He can see the hate in his sons eyes whenever his name is mentioned sometimes. Trunks doesn't hate him, just the fact that he's not there. Maybe one day his son will understand, that he was willing to give his life too save them.
Gwg: Yes yes, I know. Vegeta was a bit ooc, but hey that's how he had to be. The song was 'I Still Believe in You' by Vince Gill. I think this is the longest one I have so far (only because of the song). Until next time, ja ne.
