Epilogue

Vegeta wakes up with a start, wondering what's wrong. Next to him is Kakarot, sleeping soundly. A warm smile forms on his face as he watches his mate sleep. How long since their bonding night? Three weeks? It feels like ages ago. He curls up to Kakarot, who immediately reacts by embracing Vegeta.

'Can't sleep?'

'Something woke me up, I guess. Nothing important.'

'Well, since we're awake now…'

Goku doesn't have to finish his thought. Vegeta's hands are already roaming his body, leaving sparkling ki trails everywhere.

"Vegetaahh…"

Somewhere, in another dimension, someone finally loses it. All hope, all belief that he's in the right place vanishes after the androids are gone. The world regains its posture and people start to rebuild what was destroyed. He is the last of the Saiyan race, everyone else has died. His loneliness is eating him alive, still he can't get his hands to charge up and end his now useless life. His mother tried to talk to him, but he's turned his back. How can she possibly understand how he feels?

His hands hold a picture of Vegeta, his father. He stares at it, tears blurring his vision.

"Vegeta," he whispers hoarsely. "I need you…"

His tail lashes out restlessly. The stone inside his chest seems to grow larger and larger, urging him to action. The thought he's been playing with for so long, takes shape inside his mind. He can't bear to live in this world any longer. He'll go to the other dimension, where his father remains. He has to run from those feelings, which are so strong he blacks out from time to time. He runs to the monitor inside his mother's lab for the last time. There, he can see into their world. He can see his father… and Goku. His fists clench at his sides as he watches them mate.

"Fuck you, Goku. He's mine," he growls.

"Weak as I am" by Skunk Anansie

Lost in time I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts so unkind
'cause I wanted you
And now I sit here I'm all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels deep in war
'cause I wanted you

Weak as I am, no tears for you

Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am

So what am I now? I'm love's last hope
I'm all of the soft words I once owned
If I opened my heart, there'd be no space for air
'cause I wanted you

Weak as I am, no tears for you

Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am

In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you?

In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you?

In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you?

Weak as I am

Weak as I am

Weak as I am

Weak as I am, am, am
Weak as I am
Am I too much for you

Weak as I am
Am I too much for you

Weak as I am
Am I too much for you

Weak as I am
