It's Never Too Late, a dragon ball z fanfic

A/N: Well, this is the sequal to my old fanfiction I Hate Everything About You and it's from Goku's point of view. Yeah, I'm sorry if this is OOC, because it's hard for me to do Goku. Really, really, really hard. Especially when the entire fic depends on his view. I finally got inspired to do it by someone who I like quite a bit and the goreous song In The Shadows by The Rasmus.

No sleep
No sleep until I am done with finding the answer
Won't stop
Won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer
Sometimes
I feel I going down and so disconnected
Somehow
I know that I am haunted to be wanted

You see, things will never change.

Everything will be as it always was. Everything will be as it always has been. Your daughter is Bulma and your daughter, so is your son. I have two of my own, now, as well. Been a long time, hasn't it? Been between twenty and thirty years. Long time to know someone, Long time to stay trapped by your own emotions.

I've been watching
I've been waiting
In the shadows all my time
I've been searching
I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

In the shadows

I never knew it until now. That's why it's all gone to hell. I didn't notice. The one time I should have, I didn't. I notice the needles in the nurses hand, I notice the weakness of a bad guy, I notice my son's lack of self confidence, I notice the power levels and the emotions. Maybe it was because I chose to ignore that emotion in you, because I just didn't notice it in me.

Now I know the truth, I have enough time to think. Training gives you quite a bit of free time to think, if you could believe it. Enough time to think about things like that. Enough time to realize how you feel about everyone you knew. Enough to realize how they felt. Enough to know that one thing that can make you want to take your life, because you realize it's too late. Enough to realize...

That I love you.

They say
That i must learn to kill before i can feel safe
But I
I rather kill myself then turn into their slave
Sometimes
I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow
I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder

Wow, big words, with larger meaning. I don't think I've even ever said that to ChiChi. Not in that meaning, anyway. It's awful late now. So I guess there's no reason to regret, right?

I mean, all I have to say to this entire situation is, "Oh, well!"

I've been watching

Pulling back a punch, Goku smiled.

"Kakorot, what the hell is wrong with you? You're holding back!"

Goku chuckled, "Acutally, I was just thinking."

Vegeta smirked, "You mean you can?"

"Thanks." Goku replied, the smile never leaving his face.

"What about, baka?" Vegeta asks idly, fiddling with his white gloves.

Lately I been walking walking in circles, watching waiting for something
Feel me touch me heal me, come take me higher

Goku replied, "You."

Vegeta's face became one of confusion, then surprise, and then anger, "Baka," was all he offered, though.

"Hey, Vegeta." Goku called, trying to attract Vegeta's seemingly diverting attention.

"Yeah, baka?"

"It already feels like it's too late, but just in case it isn't..."

Vegeta raised his eyebrow, gazing at Goku's smiling face.

In the shadows

"I love you."

Vegeta's face went blank of emotion. Then he smirked, eyes closed, and replied, "It's never too late."
