Chapter Summary- A new arrangement may cause these two dumb asses to get closer together; the first day didn't go that great.

What's going down in your town/ What's going down in your head?/ / My body is moving, I'm tryna get grooving, yeah/ I'm riding 'round in the night

It had been a few days since him and Vegeta's night out and Krillin had never been more down in his entire life. He feels like this is a record for how long he could go without sleeping, he was almost up to a full week. While having the tendency to...need some space from everyone for a few days, this was a bit more ridiculous and concerning.

Krillin did not know the last time he ate but from the concerns of Master Roshi, it had been a few days. He still moved around, mostly to clean for the others and take trash out of his room. No, he did not meet the gaze of his friends when he finally came downstairs because that would make him puke. Yes, he is perfectly fine with the fact that he was still in his pajamas for the last five days and had not yet taken shower. This is fine, he was okay with being a hermit for the past week, who needs social activity anyways?

I feel like I am being punished for something. Krillin thought as he started washing the dishes. Master Roshi had cooked breakfast for the residents and the ex-monk felt bad for not eating the meal, so he decided to clean up the mess. It was also a way for him to get up for the day and not have to stare up at the ceiling in boredom. It was as if all that happiness he felt a few days ago was gone and he was stuck in some endless trap of embarrassment and sadness. Here he was, working on no sleep with no food in his stomach because of some little hand holding.

I really don't think I'm such a bad person, I mean, am I a bad person? He signed as he dried off a plate, stacking up with the others. Well it's not like anything could get worse, I mean this has to be the end of my bad luck.

So wrapped up with his thoughts, that he had realized that the noise that the sink was making. He did however notice when it stopped flowing water when he tried to wash another dish. Oh god fucking damn it. This thing was older than Roshi and pissed him off more too, he knew he should have convinced his old master to get it looked at.

Oh no, please don't do this to me! I swear to Kami if this shit stopped, I will literally scream! Damn who hears me. Krillin did not even have time to panic before the sink literally exploded, getting water everywhere, including on him. So here he was, standing on a stool, getting covered head-to-toe in water because his day had to get worse, of course it did.

Krillin made good on his promise and screamed at the broken unit, "Oh you got to be fucking kidding me!"

~STARS~

Okay, so Krillin was absolutely sure that the universe was out to get him because this was getting out of hand.

So, apparently the sink was now broken and the Kame House got flooded. I mean that was no fucking brainer with how much water fucking went everywhere. Good job Krillin, you somehow flooded the only real home who ever had.

But oh wait, there's more! Since the residents of Kame House were forced to move out so the house could get fixed, they had to stay with Chi-Chi and Gohan, that seems fine, right? Until they realized there was not enough space to fit everybody. And of course, Krillin got drawn with the short stick and had to find somewhere else to live. After calling the one person he could count on, Krillin had found a place to stay. The biggest problem was that this certain someone has a guest that was going to be a problem.

Krillin was going to have a mental breakdown that would rival a god but on the outside he gave a bright smile and said thank you.

If you guessed Capsule Corps was where Krillin was going to stay, congrats, you are telepathic.

Krillin gave another sign as he packed up his bags (and his balls) for the next few days of hell. I mean it can't get any worse than this right? Krillin felt a shudder go through his body and he could feel whatever was going to happen was not going to be good.

"There you are Krillin, I have been waiting on you for forever!" Was the reply Krillin got when he knocked on the door of the Capsule Corps.

Good God, I really am doing this. The smile never left his face, "Sorry for keeping you waiting again Bulma and thanks again!"

He walked inside and man was this house fucking was huge. I mean you can fit an entire planet in the house if the Briefs wanted to. As he was given a tour by Bulma, he just stared all around with his mouth gaped and in awe. It seems that the Briefs has redone the house again since he's been over here but when you have disposable wealth. The tour ended at the kitchen, where Bulma started to explain how the chefs work and what time they usually come in to cook for meals. Krillin really did not have a purpose for eating but smiled and nodded.

Bulma nodded back at her, "Well I gotta get back to work, if you need anything, you know where to find me."

"Yeah I know, and Bulma, thanks again!" Krillin said as she walked off to her laboratory, doing god knows what.

Krillin was then left alone in the kitchen and for the first time he got back from death, he realized just how alone he was. He was used to being around people, so it is kind of a shock to realize how much that affected him. Actually, he never really got the chance to analyze his death and what that meant for those around him. Krillin suddenly felt the urge to get a drink.

"What the fuck are you doing here?!" Came a loud question, which made Krillin jump.

He looked behind him to see Vegeta, with no shirt and capsule shorts, looking at him. Oh lord, it was not Krillin's day.

Please Kami, not right now! Krillin gave him a shy smile, "Oh h-hey Vegeta. H-how have you been?" He could feel the heat rushing to his face because he was staring at the alien prince's body, but that seems to have gone unnoticed.

Vegeta already had a bad day, his morning session was just as bad as usual. He was so close to just lay down on the chamber's floor and let out the most violent scream that probably would have traveled through the entire universe. But he decided against it, Vegeta had some composure, he would not lose it because of some traitor and his human friends. Though the universe thought he wasn't punished enough because here was the bald one with a carrier bag, in the kitchen, where he wanted to get some food. Those damn 'butterflies' were fluttering all around, which only made him more pissed.

Vegeta glared at him, "What. The. Fuck. Are. You. Doing. Here?" Was his question again, this time he was stalking towards him.

Krillin did not know what to do, so he did what he did best, stand there and take it. While normal people would have run away or fought back but Krillin knew better. Also, he was pretty aware that he could nor wanted to outrun Vegeta, besides, what was the worst that could happen. Vegeta finally was in front of him and stared down at him, while Krillin was given a full view of his pecs.

Krillin gathered all of his courage and spoke, "Oh Bulma probably didn't tell you, our house got flooded from the sink and Goku's house could only fit so many people. So, I am staying here until it gets fixed. If you are worried about me getting in your way, don't worry, I'll mostly be in my room for the time being."

The look on Vegeta's face would have been funny if Krillin had more of a backbone. But nope, the smile never wavered.

Vegeta stared at him for a few minutes before opening his mouth, "Well good then...I just I don't have to remind you but just in case." He leaned down into Krillin's level, "Stay out of my way little man, you'll regret it if you don't." With that, Vegeta stomped right out of the kitchen, the butterflies in his stomach were flying all around in complete happiness.

Krillin blinked, "Oh okay um see ya around Vegeta!" Was what he called out to the retreating form of the saiyan prince.

Oh God, he's angrier than I thought!

~STARS~

Bulma was a genius and she deserved a pat on the back for her brilliance. This was the perfect scenario for what she had planned. When she got the call from Krillin about needing a place to stay, she was at first doing it because he was her friend but then what she had discussed with Vegeta crossed her mind and a smile came onto her face. So she made her plans and is now buying her time, she knew that eventually both of her guests were going to find their ways together.

Besides, it was going to take about a few days for everything to get sorted at Kame House. Bulma thought as she leaned against the chair. I don't think it will take that long.

Before she could finally relax, the doors of her laboratory burst open and in walked, Vegeta, already in a huff.

"Woman, we need to talk!"

Oh fuck me in the ass! Was the thought that came into Bulma's mind when she fell backwards onto the floor with a scream.

Vegeta did not seem affected, "Why the hell did you not tell me about baldy coming over?" He demanded with his arm crossed, standing over Bulma's body.

Bulma blinked up at her guest's angry face, "I didn't think it would be matter, it wont be that long, he just needed a place to stay for a while until his house gets fixed. he'll be gone in a few days." Was her only explanation as she sat up right.

The alien prince huffed, "Then why the fuck can't he stay with Kakarot and his herd, surely that would be more logical!" He stepped back to give Bulma some space to get back up to her feet watching as she patted down her clothes with a sour look on his face.

"Because there wasn't enough space for all of them to fit, do you really think I was Krillin's first choice?" She said as she picked up the chair, she was still nonchalantly answering his questions.

Bulma then gave him a sideway look, "Besides, a certain someone needs to realize how they are going to deal with their crush."

That made the prince go silent for a moment before he puffed up his chest in stubbornness, "For the last time I do not have a crush on the bald one! I do not have these butterflies that you speak of and I do not care what you have to say about!" He said, lying through his teeth.

Bulma smelled bullshit but shrugged her shoulders, "Whatever you say Vegeta, you want to be a coward then that's up to you."

Oh shit, here comes ball-busting Bulma!

"What did you say woman?" Vegeta asked as he stared at her like she had grown another head.

Oh I am going to enjoy this. Bulma cleared her throat, "I said that you are a coward, who is afraid to admit that a weak little human has caught his eye." She said as slow as possible, to just reiterate how dumb Vegeta was. The room goes silent, the two of them just staring at each other, Bulma's face showing no remorse for her actions while Vegeta's showed how shocked he was of humans and their lack of care for themselves.

"Fuck you woman!" Was the childish reply that he could only think of.

But Bulma one-up him once again, "No sorry I don't like you like that! Why don't you take Krillin up on offer, I'm sure you'd like that more!" She countered back with a raised eyebrow.

Vegeta's eye gave twitch before he turned around and stomped out of the laboratory, acting like a teenager who lost the argument. When her guest was truly gone, Bulma fell into another burst of laughter that sent her back onto the floor, her body curling in on itself. Good god, she seriously needed to keep his ass around! Vegeta was way more fun than he gives himself credit for.

~STARS~

Krillin found the nearest guest room and started to set up camp. The guest room was way bigger than his room in the Kame House, he actually had space in the closet to put his stuff away and there was a bathroom, so he would not have to leave the room. He was really planning on just staying in the room until he could go back home. Then hoping that he could avoid coming back to Capsule Corp until he could feel like a human being again. Or until, the feeling of whatever the fuck he was having for Vegeta was pushed down far enough so that he can pretend to be fine. It is what he does best after all.

He was halfway done putting his clothes away in the dresser when he was hit with the feeling of hunger for the first time in days. Oh well, he did promise himself that he was not going to leave this room until it was clear for him to go back home. Besides, it wasn't his first time testing his limit, he could handle this.

When he was done with his clothes, he laid down on the bed. It was way more comfortable than what he had at his house but it did not have the same feeling, the feeling of home. He gave a sign as he felt himself relax into the bed and for the first time, in a few days, Krillin felt comfortable.

And with that, Krillin fell asleep.

So after losing the fight with Bulma, Vegeta had time to truly rethink his life decisions so far. He found himself doing it more often since he came back from the dead, though doing it inside of the gravity chamber may not be the best decision. Bite him, Bulma!

Anyway, now back to Vegeta's crisis, where he had to admit that he in fact had an attraction to Krillin. He did not know where this feeling started but he had to guess when they were both on Namek and had to work together. Vegeta had to admit when he suggested that the bald one and Kakarot's brat work together, he was only thinking of himself, I mean what else would you expect from the saiyan prince. But something about the bald one was different, like something he could not put his finger on.

The human showed him kindness, even when the prince had done nothing but kill his friends like they were nothing. The human was clearly weak but he was stupidly brave even when facing danger and stood beside those he cared about. Even Vegeta could admit that he would never do the same for others, that it was not in his nature to care about others, he simply thought more of others.

And then the entire hand holding thing at that place was what triggered these feelings even more. Vegeta never would admit but when the bald human held his hand, he felt so warm all over. That's why he froze after his hand was grabbed because it was the first time in years that someone touched him.

You see, growing up with Frieza as his 'guardian', he wasn't used to affection. Or if you called condescending remarks and a weird obsession with having him all to himself affection, then that works too. Hell, he didn't even remember getting affection from his own damn father but Vegeta convinced himself that he was fine with that. That he didn't need anyone to make him happy, that no one could ever be enough for him. That not even his fellow saiyan were good enough to be blessed with what he had to offer.

But here he was, with these butterflies in his stomach because a weak little human decided that he needed to be touched. And the worst thing about it, he liked it. When he felt the hand stop touching him, he just wanted to continue the hand holding. Feeling the physical touch of another person was something he hadn't had since he was child. Then, it got worse, Krillin had to give him that smile of his when they made it back to Bulma's house.

The kind of smile you give to someone when you're trying to be nice to someone and in the goddess name, did Vegeta fall into it. The human was just so gentle, how the fuck was a human that gentle with someone like him? Who the fuck did this human think he is, trying to see him as someone else than who he actually was? He was Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans, a person that has no remorse and needed no one. He was feared by all and no one dared to try to tell him any different.

That was him, right?

~STARS~

When Krillin woke up, he became aware that he may have overslept. His first indication was that it was pitch black darkness that contradicted the bright blue sky he remembered this afternoon. He couldn't say exactly what time it was but after checking his phone, he realized that it was 9 pm at night.

He still felt the hunger in his stomach and he sighed. Krillin was actually very hungry, and he realized that he would have to eat something. He really didn't want to bother the staff to cook him something as he was sure he couldn't eat anything that was heavy and he just wanted to get some chips from the pantry. Krillin quickly felt the ki energies of the people in the mansion and he realized that Vegeta was still not in the mansion, so he was probably training somewhere. So that meant he could avoid the alien if he was fast enough.

Perfect.

He leapt down from the bed, stretching for a minute, and left the room. As he was walking down the hallways, he still was feeling the energy of Vegeta, making sure that their paths would not meet because Krillin felt he would die of embarrassment. When he finally made it to the kitchen, he gave a sigh of relief when he realized he accomplished his mission and powered walked over the cabinets. He then forgot how short he was when he only reached the counter and looked around the room for something that he could step on.

God damn tall people! He cursed when he couldn't find anything but then glanced at the chairs pushed in with the table. He grabbed the chair, which made a scraping sound against the floor (which in turn made Krillin cringe) before stopping below the cabinet. He climbed up on top of the chair and quietly cheered when he finally reached the cabinet.

He opened it to claim his prize, which was a big bag of chips that he grabbed. He hugged it to his chest and was about to get down to eat for the first time since the night at the bar. Krillin had one hand on the back of the chair, while the other hand held the chips. Though, he felt he was forgetting something.

"What the hell are you doing Baldy?" A deep voice suddenly said, which made Krillin shriek.

In the midst of his fright, Krillin's hand slid off the chair and with nothing to balance, he started to fall off the chair. Before he could try to save himself, he felt arms wrap around him. He was now staring at the face of Vegeta. Krillin had totally forgotten to keep on checking for Vegeta and had missed his energy coming closer to the mansion. So now, he was in the arms of the alien that was capturing his mind and being forced to stare at that handsome face of his.

Shit!

Funny thing, Krillin is actually taller than me! He is three to four inches taller than me but all short people know the dreaded feeling of either deciding to climb on top of a counter or find the nearest thing to use when there is no stool. Anyway, we are going back to our scheduled month update because school has started back up and I am already being thrown in for a loop. I hope you guys enjoy it and I'll see you in a month.
