Night Talk
Night 3
Zarbon had crawled into bed make-up free again, making Dodoria smile greatly. The pink man could never admit he had something of a crush on the other, they were just on two opposite ends of the scale. Both of them being thoroughly exhausted from their days work, fell asleep almost instantly without talking.
It was in the early hours of the morning that Dodoria was stirred awake by Zarbons incessant tossing and turning, he opened an eye to glare at the other man, then realised how much the other man was shivering.
''You ok Z?'' he asked making the other jump. Zarbon started to nod, then shook his head instead.
''I'm just..so cold. You'd have thought they'd have this place heated seeing as Lord Friezas here.'' Dodoria pulled himself onto one of his elbows, he'd forgotton about Zarbons cold blood making him susceptible to the cold. He thought for a few moments.
''Well this room is so tiny, why don't we push the beds together? My body heat will keep you warm. I expect they've given Lord Frieza a much better room then this…'' Zarbon thought it over then nodded in agreement. Dodoria got out of bed and pushed his against Zarbons, then got back in and laid with his front against Zarbons back with his arms wrapped round him, trying to warm the green man up. Zarbon closed his eyes in bliss at the warmth that was radiating out of Dodoria. Despite starting to warm up, he was now wide awake.
''Hey, Dodoria….'' He asked hesitantly.
''Yes?'' replied Dodoria, picking up on the hesitation in the others voice.
''…What was your life like before?'' he asked. It wasn't the done thing to ask others about their lives before the Frieza Force, it caused too much anguish and was best kept hushed up. Dodoria thought it strange of him to ask such a question, but he had no qualms personally about talking about his past.
''Pretty sucky. My planet was very barren and dry with not much to eat or drink, our technology was basic, we didn't even have telephones. I lived on my own, I never really got on with my parents and I had no siblings. I was taller and wider than any others of my own kind and was pushed out of their society into the more mountainous regions. When Lord Frieza invaded it was the best thing that could have happened for me, I have much more freedom now then I'd have ever had there.''
He felt Zarbon nod against him, he didn't need to ask about Zarbon's life before the Frieza Force, he'd been there when he was forcibly taken. Zarbon had been a prince on a luscious rainforest like planet, he has status, wealth and was next in line to be king. But Frieza saw him as a bargaining tool, a hostage to stop the people of his planet rebelling against his rule. Dodoria never felt regret, but he felt guilty at being the one to capture the then teenage boy from his home palace. Dodoria took a deep breath.
''For what it's worth, I am truly sorry I had to take you from your home.''
He could tell Zarbon was thinking about what he'd said, then the fallen prince turned around so they were now front to front, resting his head against Dodorias warm chest.
''It's ok. I think I'm better off here too. At least I have some freedom here, more then I could have ever had at home… and it got me out of that horrid arranged marriage'' he answered, shivering slightly at the end. Dodoria laughed.
''Not your type then?'' he teased knowingly. He felt Zarbon give him a little prod in the chest.
''You know not. And besides being the wrong sex, she was insufferable! She was so vain and greedy. Obsessed with money and possessions, and what she saw as power'' Dodoria raised an eyebrow before Zarbon continued ''And before you start about me, just think, if I'm saying she's too vain, she must be really bad!'' Dodoria let out a chuckle as Zarbon let out a little yawn, the bed was now nice and warm and they both felt themselves starting to drift off to sleep.
