An: I'm baaaaaaaaaaackkkkk!

You wouldn't guess that I'm in the middle of finals, would you! But, despite having biology on Monday, it is my duty and privilege to update.

There is action for those that have been begging for it and after this comes something else. But I'm not giving it away! And I need creative Chichi 'solutions'! Those who have been with me since Goku's Priorities will know what I'm talking about!

They both slouched into the house, after a long, tough day of training Uub. Goku flopped onto the couch, feeling tired, while Vegeta went to the kitchen to make snacks. Goku leaned back and looked up at the ceiling, while he waited for Vegeta to return. After about ten minutes, Vegeta came back with a tray bearing lots of sandwiches with different fillings, a plate of Oreos, chicken drumsticks, pizza slices and pasta salad. Goku grinned, and rubbed his hands in anticipation, as Vegeta set the tray down in front of them.

"This is great, Geta! How did you put something like this together so fast?"

Vegeta winked.

"My secret, Kaks. Dig in, I'm just going to bring drinks."

Goku didn't need to be coerced. He started munching, and Vegeta chuckled as he came back in with Fanta Orange, their favourite soft drink. Vegeta collapsed onto the couch next to him, and watched him eat.

"Aren't you gonna have any?" asked Goku, a string of pasta dangling out of his mouth. Vegeta shook his head.

"I'm okay. I'm gonna go shower anyway."

A short silence, while Goku finished off the food. Vegeta broke the quiet.

" You know, that brat Uub is getting stronger. I can feel it every time he lands a punch. "

"He's got a brutal sensei like you now, what do you expect?"

Vegeta shrugged, then stood up, rubbing his lower back with a slight grimace on his face.

"Fuck, my back's out again. It must have been that swing kick I got from Uub."

Goku swallowed his mouthful.

"I could put it back into place, if you want. I'm really good at that sort of thing."

"Sounds good to me. My old battle injuries get so bad that I can't sleep, if I don't fix them."

Goku shoved the last slice of pizza into his mouth, chewed and swallowed, then got up.

"You go and shower so long, and I'll get my stuff together, alright? Don't put a top on, otherwise it a waste of time taking it off."

Vegeta nodded, and strolled off to the shower, while Goku started digging around for his spare futon.

When Vegeta got back to the lounge, freshly showered, Goku had rolled out a futon with a sheet on it, and set a big blue glass bottle containing some sort of cream on the nearby coffee table. He was sitting on the arm of a chair, waiting.

"So, what do I do?" asked Vegeta, dressed just in sweatpants.

"Lie on your stomach on the futon, and just relax. I can't do anything if you're tense."

Vegeta did as he was told, pillowing his head on his arms and closing his eyes. Goku kneeled next to him and reached for the blue bottle. He twisted off the lid, put some in his hands, then started rubbing it into Vegeta's back.

"That smells good. What is it?" asked Vegeta, his voice slightly muffled by the futon.

"It's a cream I found a while ago down in the village. It's a muscle relaxer, made with crushed spearmint and some other herbs. I haven't had a reason to use it, but I thought it would be a good thing to have in case."

"Good planning, Kaks."

Goku grinned to himself. He loved having Vegeta's approval. He rubbed the cream right into Vegeta's back, and felt the smaller Saiyan relax under his fingers.

"Geta?"
"Yeah?" murmured Vegeta, enjoying the pampering.

"Where does it hurt most?"

"Around my lower back."

Goku thought for a second. I can't really do anything if I'm sitting next to him…I need to be above him. Oh, well, here goes.

Goku carefully seated himself on the back of Vegeta's thighs, but put most of his weight onto his own legs. Goku blushed lightly, especially when Vegeta shifted against him.

"Er…you don't mind if I sit here, do you?"

Vegeta shook his head.

"Not at all. Whatever works best for you."

Goku took a deep breath, and looked up at the heavens, silently begging for self-control. He felt rather awkward, being this close physically to Vegeta, but he said he'd help, and Vegeta didn't mind, so it wasn't all that bad. The rain drumming on the roof was soothing.

He put more cream onto his hands, then started kneading Vegeta's sculpted back gently. He blushed an even brighter red when a rather large sigh came from Vegeta.

"Mmm…you're so good at this, Kaks."

"Uh, th-thanks."

Oh man! This is so awkward! I'm literally straddling him, and it doesn't help that I have feelings for the guy! How do I get myself into these situations?

Meanwhile, Vegeta was having thoughts of his own as Goku's hands worked all the muscular tension out, only to create another form of tension.

Where did he learn to do this? Ooh, there he goes again! Right on my tail spot! I should have warned him…that's a serious erogenous zone on a Saiyan, with more nerve endings than any other part of the body, besides the groin. That's usually a place we allow only our lovers to touch. I'm being too hopeful though, if I think that I even have a tiny chance with him. It's taking all my self-control not to moan with the pleasure! The fool…he doesn't even have a clue what he's doing to me! This is absolutely gorgeous torture…

Vegeta bit his lower lip and dug his nails into his fists as he tried to drag back his sanity, which was slowly being rubbed away unwittingly by Goku. His back so badly wanted to arch into the touch of the younger Saiyan. He didn't think he could stay so still and so quiet for much longer. He felt like an elastic band, being pulled further and further out all too slowly. Goku started relaxing, mistakenly thinking that this wasn't turning Vegeta on. He leaned lower, and increased the pressure, trying to coax the knots out of the muscles. Vegeta breathed in sharply through his nose, as he was getting pushed closer to breaking point.

Kakarot…don't you realise what you're doing to me? I want you so bad, every part of me is shrieking for you to want me, wishing that this means more to you than just a favour. I want so much more than this, and I don't know how much longer my resolve is going to stay intact. I'm starting to unravel…

Goku felt the shudders along Vegeta's back, and felt himself blushing again. He was starting to enjoy the close contact, and wanted to make it last. He noticed that there was a slight dip, a patch of skin a slightly darker colour than the rest of the tanned skin around it, in the centre of Vegeta's back, right above where his tail would have been. Vegeta seemed to shudder whenever this spot was touched. Goku was curious.

So, what would happen if I were to do this?

He heated up his hands with ki, then really started kneading this little area, which was too much for Vegeta to bear, and he finally snapped.

"I can't take it any more! Come here!"

Vegeta spun around onto his back, grabbed Goku by the shirt, pulled him down and took his lips as his own, finally letting out the moan that had been desperate to escape. Goku was taken completely by shock, especially now that he was straddling Vegeta's groin instead, and his body was right on top of Vegeta's.

Although…Goku wasn't complaining, as their bodies slid together. Goku's hands trailed down Vegeta's sides as their tongues met, sending jolts of blue-hot electricity down their spines. But inside Goku's brain, another battle was raging.

No, this isn't right! I shouldn't be doing this! He's a guy! He's my best friend!

This is right! Would you stop thinking with your head and think with your heart instead?! You know that he would make you happy! You want this! You're responding to the kiss, aren't you? You can feel it…Chichi could never make you feel like this.

It's all about sex to Vegeta! You can't even give him a massage without him trying to screw you!

The moans coming from Vegeta weren't helping. For a few, fragile moments, they broke contact, half-lidded ink oceans pouring into each other. Goku knew what he saw there…and it wasn't lust. There was something else there.

"Kakarot…" Vegeta gave the smallest of half smiles, before he brought their lips together, sighing as he did so, his legs wrapping around Goku's.

I don't care what you have to say anymore! This feels right!

Goku's morality snapped back at his heart like a barbed wire whip.

No, it doesn't! You could never have a relationship with him! He's so independent! He doesn't want nor need anyone. He's just desperate for sex.

As though to support this argument, Goku felt Vegeta's one hand trying to untie the knot in his sash, while the other stroked his tail spot, making white spots dance in front of his eyes. He shivered with pleasure when Vegeta's tongue stroked his throat. How could something that felt so good be wrong?

I don't care. His eyes say that he loves me!

His eyes? Ha! That says nothing! He'll never say that he loves you! And what about your friends? What would they say? What would you tell them? That you slept with Vegeta?

Vegeta's back arched, driving their hips closer together, bringing Goku closer to his limits. Even Goku was moaning, especially when Vegeta kissed him again.

You can't love him. It's a stupid crush.

Yes, I can love him! He can love me!

You're just another person for him to dominate. Can't you see that?! You need someone with your personality, not someone that is a complete opposite! It can't work…you know it can't. Break it off now, before it's too late. He can't love you properly. You can't love him. he's a friend, not a lover.

But…what the hell is 'loving properly'? There is no such thing! He's been so loving, why is this wrong? I don't understand!

Your heart will get broken in the long run. You know it will. And he'll understand. You both just got a little carried away, that all. End it now, before you do something you'll regret in the morning. Make some excuse, any will do. Before he can break your heart.

Goku's heart sighed as it lost the battle to his morality. He felt so confused. Maybe it would be for the better. Why ruin a great friendship with a relationship? But, it felt so right in some ways and so wrong in others. Goku didn't know what to do. But he did what seemed logical at the time.
