It was a grey slow morning, the apartment reflected the miserable weather by quilting the rooms in very dull colour. Goku slowly woke up hearing music playing through the radio that traveled from the living room, squinting his eyes he looked over at his clock, 10:30am. He rubbed his eyes slowly adjusting his eyesight. With a yawn he uncurled his body and stretched out flexing his feet, with a satisfying tightening feeling in his muscles; from the stretch he slowly rose from his bed. He staggered out his room towards the kitchen. Vegeta already dressed in his casual jeans and navy top, looked over watching Goku trying to properly wake himself up. It was rather comical watching Goku stagger around, obviously the weeks office work had caught up with him. Vegeta rested his feet on top of the coffee table, replying to emails on his laptop quietly chuckling to himself as he heard Goku cuss at himself as he stumbled over his own foot.
Goku prepping his cup for coffee looked over at Vegeta "you wanting coffee?" He yawned taking another stretch.
"already had one" Vegeta responded staring at his laptop with his tongue poking out in concentration, as he continued to type his reply to one of his emails.
Stirring his cup he walked over and sat next to Vegeta. "Nice of you to of offered me one then!" He took a sip of his coffee.
"You weren't awake, snooze you lose" vegeta placed his laptop down, he flexed his fingers and looked over at the window, the sky was so dull looking which left a very miserable aura in the room.
"Hey Vegeta, last night I heard that male client ,and oh man did I cringe for you" he blushed a little with a nervous laugh trying to brighten up the mood of the room.
Vegeta looked over grinning, he shook his head. "Thanks, did you hear him asking for his mother's forgiveness?" He sniggered as Goku spat out his coffee "his mother believes gay is a disease, so he's in denial. That's up there in my list of awkward fucks."
"You have a list for that?" Goku raised his brow in disbelief.
"Not like you to show interest in my work" vegeta smirked watching Goku squirm slightly, he didn't usually show much interest. He was too embarrassed to confess how he found it arousing watching Vegeta make out with another man.
"I don't, just thought I'd brighten up the mood in here" Goku rose from the sofa "I'm heading to the gym, fancy joining unless you're expecting a client?" Goku had observed Vegeta hadn't looked at his watch, he knew he was free.
"Sure, beats sitting in here all day" vegeta folded his arms looking at Goku up and down "you aren't planing to go out like that though?" Goku looked down at his lounge pants.
"Why not? It's a good look right?" He grinned finishing his coffee as vegeta shook his head. "Alright, I'm getting changed then we can head out"
Having spent an hour work out at the gym, mostly Goku using the weights whilst Vegeta exchanged numbers with potential customers. Goku worked himself an appetite, walking out the changing room to meet Vegeta ;who was leaning against the wall staring at his phone. He tapped Vegeta's shoulder to grab his attention, Vegeta put his phone away looking up at Goku.
"Fancy going for something to eat?" Goku smiled at him as his stomach began to rumble.
"so long as you are paying" vegeta smirked as he quickly checked his phone again before putting it away.
Goku lead the way towards a small built up area, there was a cafe that sat at the corner of the busy street. cold water droplets fell from the sky running down their face, it felt refreshing after breaking out sweat in the gym. Vegeta threw his coat over his head gritting his teeth feeling the rain trickle down him, whilst Goku embraced the winter rain. It was something different compared to the warm ambient rain during the summer months, it left subtle metallic smells as it softly hit the ground below.They both ran into the cafe as it started to pour heavier, Vegeta shook his coat glaring outside as if to cuss at the weather.
"We are getting a taxi back!" Vegeta kept staring outside watching as people were running around like mad ants, using whatever they had on hand to shield them from the rain. Vegeta smiled as he saw one old man place a news paper above his head. "What an idiot!" He snorted.
They both sat down in a quiet corner, the cafe gave off a tranquil ambience, smells of cinnamon and other warming aromas quilted the area.Paintings and sepia photographs were so carefully placed around the area. Everything looked so neatly arranged. As Goku and Vegeta were reminiscing about their college days, laughter shared between them whilst sipping down coffee.Vegeta's phone made a noise which broke his restful state.He quickly pulled his phone out and furrowed his brows as read the message. He looked over at Goku who had an inquisitive expression.
"They'll be on their way to collect the money shortly..." vegeta placed the phone on the table, their food arrived in front of them. "Suppose we better hurry with this and head home."
Goku nodded, he could feel himself sweating due to nerves. Vegeta had made extra last couple of weeks, hopefully it would keep the gang off their case for a little while. A thousand a month was what they were expected to pay back,the last couple of months they've struggled; even done without proper food in the apartment scraping what they could find to pay back. If there wasn't added interest, they'd of had it cleared by now, they know better than to argue against them.Because they were short of money the gang had visited once a fortnight for part payments as well as the normal payment. Finishing their food, they rushed for a taxi heading back to their apartment. Goku's heart felt as though it was going to burst out of his chest as they ran up the stairs, down the corridor two gang members were stood outside their door waiting for them. Seeing the nervousness on Goku's face, Vegeta volunteered to walk ahead as Goku reluctantly followed.
"To think we believed you two were trying to hide from us" Jeice smirked looking at the two as Vegeta got the keys out.
"And miss your pretty face? Never!" Vegeta returned the smirk as he unlocked the door allowing the two to walk in first. He looked at Goku who was stood behind him nervously. "Just leave the talking to me" he noticed their nosey neighbour peeping through their door "like what you see?" The neighbour shook their head and closed the door. He walked in seeing the two stood by the open kitchen.
"Alright, cough up" Jeice held out his hand, whilst Burter grinned over watching Goku close the door behind them.
"Straight to the point, as usual" Vegeta went into kitchen drawer and pulled out the envelope, placing it gently on Jeice hand. "Don't spend it all in one go"
Jeice grinned over at Burter before looking back at Vegeta "whilst I count this, you can help relief my friend over here" he pulled out the notes from the envelope.
Vegeta folded his arms glaring at the two men "what?!" He felt sickness travelling up his throat.
Goku stepped forward "I don't think that's necessary, we've made the payment even managed to cover little extra" trying his best to help his friend hoping they'd come to an agreement.
Jeice paused counting the notes, he looked at Goku and began laughing. "How cute, your boyfriend here trying to be voice of reason." He shoved Goku against the wall "you are in no place to tell us what we can and can't do! Have you forgotten how much you two owe?!"
"You've made your point!" Vegeta snapped as he walked over to Burter, he started to unbuckle Burter's belt. Burter pushed Vegeta off blushing.
"Slow down! Not here!" Burter tried to compose himself.
Vegeta raised his brow "it's not like they don't know what I'm about to do?" He watched as Burter looked back in Jeice shaking slightly, vegeta rolled his eyes and dragged him into the bathroom.
Jeice laughed more and started to count the notes in front of Goku. Goku watched as Jeice concentrated counting the notes, he glared over watching him impatiently whilst waiting for Vegeta to return. Jeice noticed this and grinned over at him "whats the matter? Missing your boyfriend?"
Goku glared at him "he's not my boyfriend!" He looked away as Jeice began laughing again.
In the bathroom, Vegeta rested on his knees as he pulled out Burters member. He smirked "now I see why you didn't want me to do it back there" he snorted.
Burter gritted his teeth in embarrassment forcing himself into Vegeta's mouth.
Five minutes crawled past, Goku sat on the sofa glaring over at Jeice who finished counting the notes. The bathroom door swung open, Burter walked towards Jeice both grinned over at Goku before marching out slamming the door behind them. Goku sighed in relief to see them leave, he walked over to the bathroom seeing Vegeta brushing his teeth vigorously. Vegeta noticed Goku stood watching him, he spat out paste and wiped side of his mouth.
"Take it they've left?" Vegeta rinsed his toothbrush under the tap before checking his watch. Goku sighed, he knew that was a sign Vegeta was due a client.
"They've left, they seem happy with the amount." He watched as Vegeta grabbed the mouth wash and gargled. "Coffee?"
Vegeta spat out the mouth wash "not got time" he rushed past Goku to get changed ready for his client.
There was a soft knock at the door, Goku looked towards the door.
"Mind getting that!" Vegeta called out from his room.
Goku gulped, as he headed towards the door. Another day, another client.
