oOoOoOo

Daybreak came sooner than expected. This was a day that the Saiyan prince was not looking forward to. It was the day that he had dreaded for some time, but he knew that it would have happened sooner or later.

Today was the day that the Briefs family had to bury not one but two of their own. Bulma and her father had died in an accident in their downstairs lab. Dr. Briefs was making some minor adjustments to a top-secret project that he and Bulma were working on when something went wrong.

Bulma was working on another project that was due by the end of the week when Scratch crossed two wrong wires causing a huge explosion in the lab.

The worst part of it was that Bulma didn't want to be wished back if anything should happen to her. She left her Will stating that fact. Everything that she owned went to Vegeta and the kids. Trunks was in high school along with his childhood friend Goten at the time of the accident and Bra was spending the night at Pan's.

Throughout the service Vegeta said nothing. He kept his emotions inside never letting them go. He stayed on this ball of dirt because of her and he wasn't too sure about that.

They weren't even in love with each other but they stayed together and now what was keeping him from leaving. Yeah, that's right his other love the one that held his heart. He silently cursed his self about thinking about that baka at a time like this, but he couldn't help it.

Ever since that day fateful day.

oOo Flashback oOo

Another ki blast sailed passed his head as he charged the taller male. Vegeta never let up with the barrage of kicks and punches to Goku's stomach and face. He was winning this round. Obviously, the brawny male didn't get enough to eat or else this match would have been over with, with the prince pushing up dirt.

Then he smelt it. It was Goku's Earth scent. It happened every time that they fought. Sometimes, Vegeta had to cut their intense sparring sessions short because of his growing desire for the gentle Saiyan, but this time he was going to try to keep a tight hold on his hormones.

Goku knew that something was bothering his prince. How can I call him mine when he just thinks of me as only a third class warrior!

Unknown to the royal, the other Saiyan was having similar problems. Goku wanted to approach Vegeta about what he had been feeling for the prince but stopped every time thinking that Vegeta would be disgusted with him about same sex relationships.

So, he kept his mouth closed but today was proving to be more difficult than usual. Vegeta's over powering musk scent was causing him to lose focus.

"Come-on Kakarott! What is your problem?!" Vegeta yelled.

The last two full-blooded Saiyans were only in SSJ2, yet Goku was having a hard time trying to keep up.

Goku finally held up his hand. "Stop Geta." His stomach let out low rumble, which he only saw as a blessing in disguised.

Vegeta just 'hn' and descended toward the war beating forest. "Honestly, Kakarott. Your stomach thinks for you."

Goku beamed his famous Son smile. "Sorry, but I couldn't help it. I'm kind of hungry"

Especially for one hot blue-blooded Saiyan, he thought.

Vegeta just started at him. He had landed pretty close to his friend without even thinking.

"Geta, can I ask you something?"

"What now Kakarott?" The prince ignored the nickname. Ever since they had came back from Namek, Goku had been calling that. Maybe one day he'll ask about the silly name.

"Um, I was wondering about oh never mind." Goku decided that today wasn't worth dying by Vegeta's hand even though his was much more powerful than him.

However, his feelings of begin dominated by the prince was overwhelming. He didn't want the burden of taking care of anyone or protecting anyone. For once, he wanted to be taken care of. His kids were out of the house. Gohan was married with a kid and Goten was practically living at Capsule Corp.

He and Chi-Chi had divorced five years ago because she got tired of him leaving her alone. She wanted someone to be there for her. She didn't want to waste the rest of her life away praying that her husband would make it home safely or pray that he didn't die, again. So, she left leaving Gohan and Goten with him.

"Just spit it out Kakarott!" Vegeta bellowed.

"What was it like on Vegetasei? I mean as far as relationships went," there he finally said it but his face was red as a tomato.

Vegeta smirked. So, the baka wanted to know about relationships on their home planet, but he wondered what brought the need to know on.

"Females were highly prized because their number were so few, so it wasn't uncommon for same sex male relationships to develop," Vegeta explained.

Goku looked a little surprised by the revelation. "What about you?"

"What about me?"

"You know." Goku was treading on dangerous ground with the prince, but he found out that the royal was being talkative.

"I was betrothed to someone but it all ended when that bastard, Frieza, destroyed our home," And Vegeta left it at that.

The sun was starting to set and Vegeta didn't feel like hearing the woman's mouth about being out late again. He suddenly turned toward Goku when the taller male stood at the same time and that's when it happened...

Their lips met for the first time. Goku pulled back for fear of getting punched in the face but Vegeta grabbed him at the back of his dark unruly locks pulling him back never saying a word.

Vegeta brought his hand up to the place that once held Goku's marvelous tail. He pressed his fingers against the sensitive nub evoking a throaty moan from the larger male. Vegeta took the opportunity to dip his tongue into the inviting mouth, but he didn't stop there.

He began to run his other hand underneath the orange gi and blue shirt and lifted it off its owner. Goku was at his mercy he couldn't think straight as Vegeta somehow kept him from fleeing and he really didn't care.

There was something about the prince that made Goku stay and he was going to finish this regardless of the end result. Whether, Vegeta talked to him again or not; at least he could cherish this memory of them being intimate together.

Vegeta guided him to ground and loomed over him slowly stripping out of his spandex. Goku held his breath. He couldn't really believe that this was happening to him, him of all people. He knew it was wrong because Vegeta was married to his best friend, but again he didn't care.

The prince lowered his self to the younger Saiyan. This was it. This was something that he wanted and it seemed that Goku wanted too, but he wanted to make sure. He wasn't going to risk his heart, his marriage, but most of all his pride if the other Saiyan didn't want to continue down this path.

"Kakarott are you sure about this?" Vegeta asked holding his breath.

Goku merely nodded his head.

Then in one fluid motion Vegeta entered his new lover. Goku hissed from the intrusion but it was worth it. The pain didn't last long as his wrapped his legs around Vegeta's slender waist.

The older male slowly began to move, pulling out until his tip remained inside the quivering hole then slammed back into Goku's hidden passage touching that spot deep inside of the younger Saiyan.

The sensation was too much as the prince quickened his pace. Vegeta knew that this joining fast but he couldn't help it. Goku was unbelievably tight and was his, never to be shared or touched by anyone but him.

He reached in between their sweat-drenched bodies taking hold of his lover's neglected organ. Stroking the smooth length in time with each powerful thrust.

Goku couldn't hold back any longer once the royal took hold of him silently begging him to come. His vision blurred as white light and stars danced around him. He never felt like this when he was with Chi-Chi. She hated sex. He was surprised that she managed to give him two sons.

With a loud howl, Goku spreaded his essence over their stomachs then bit down into tanned flesh. There was no turning back now; Vegeta claimed his long awaited prize. He remembered momentarily that the third class warrior would have been his already if Goku hadn't lost his memory.

Vegeta felt his mate's inner muscles clamp down on him. He followed the other Saiyan, emptying his seed into him.

Vegeta growled and bit into the cord of Goku's neck, marking him forever.

And that was a month ago.

oOo End flashback oOo

After the funeral, Vegeta returned home. He didn't want to talk to anyone. He went straight to his room leaving the other Z fighters to their own devices downstairs. He wanted to be left alone but his desire to be with his mate was getting to him especially since the Earth raised Saiyan was so close.

Now, he was free to see the gentle Saiyan as he wished but his pride was preventing him to go to his lover. He wasn't ready to let Bulma go. The memories were still too fresh and the hurt too strong to let Goku into his closed off world, but somehow he knew that Goku would help pick-up the pieces and ease the pain.

He felt guilty at the time, while Bulma was still alive and tried to stay away but he couldn't. Goku was an addicting drug. Even though he had been careful it was still a possibility that Goku could be carrying his child and that was something he couldn't afford to let slip out at the moment. Well, not so soon after Bulma's death.

Worse still, how in the heck was he going to explain that little fact about Saiyan biology to the baka.

Man, he was screwed, but it seemed that it was going to have to wait. Some unknown force was approaching Earth. Even from space the prince could feel the enormous power level that felt so familiar.

oOo TBC oOo

A/N: Well, tell me what you think. Should I continue or chalk it up as a loss?
