Vegeta POV
I huff, "Why does bother me so much?" I ask myself for the millionth time. "It shouldn't matter to me that the furball has a brother or not." I couldn't get the thought off my mind all throughout the first two classes. Luckily, we weren't doing much, otherwise, I would be definitely missing some stuff. I shrug, "Wouldn't matter since I can easily get notes from Nappa or Raditz later."
I was a bit surprised to see that the bell for the third to be over and the start of lunch was ringing. I grit my teeth, annoyed with myself to be yet again caught off guard and allowing this annoyance to control my thoughts. I growl under my breath as I stalk my way to the lunch and get my food. I do have to admit that my mood lightens up a bit when I started to eat.
Nappa sat down next to me with his food and Raditz sat across from us. We just sit there and eat in silence. Occasional words past in between us but we just let the sounds of everything around us wash over us as we stuff our faces.
"Hey bro." I hear an excited voice push in through the silence between us. I look up to see a kid in an orange and blue striped shirt and blue jeans. Wild black hair on top of his head standing over Raditz with a big smile over his face.
I silently snort, "So, this is his brother. Nothing special for me to be stressing about all day for." I see Tarble standing next to him. I raise my eyebrow, a little surprise to see him with Raditz's brother. He smiles and waves. I nod my head at him and turn my attention back to my food.
I vaguely hear Raditz introduce his brother, or Kakarot I guess his name is, to Nappa. I look back up when I heard my name. Our eyes met and I gasp.
Looking back at me is the two beautiful, onyx orbs staring right back at me. "Did I really say beautiful?" A more sane part of me ask. I'm vaguely aware of someone trying to get my attention but I couldn't bring myself to avert my attention. It felt like an eternity has passed between us but at the same time, it didn't feel like enough.
The moment was broken when Kakarot looks away to his brother, he seems to be about to answer something Raditz must have said. Before he can say anything, I growl, shocking everybody at the table. "What is wrong with me?" Sane me ask, feeling weirded out by this new side of me.
Nappa elbow me in my side that causes me to come back to reality. I blink and look around the table. Raditz is frowning while looking at me and Kakarot. Kakarot seems to be coming out of some sort of a hypnotic trance as he and Tarble sat down at the table. Nappa and Tarble have a concerned look on their faces as they look at the three of us, wondering who is going to say or do something first. I put my head down to stare at my food and start eating again. Trying to force myself to focus on something else besides the awkward silence that washed over us. Everybody following my lead, with Kakarot and Raditz being the last one.
The silence was again broken by an excited, "Goku!"
I looked up confused when the voice sounded really close to our table, "Who is Goku?" I see a girl with short blue hair, behind her is a short bald kid and a blonde hair chick.
Kakarot looks up at the people behind him. His once solemn look turn to look a pure excitement and joy, "Hey guys, come sit down and join us." He pointed at three empty chairs. They quickly sit down with their lunches. I can see Raditiz in the corner of my eye look relieved to see his brother acting this way. "I'm guessing this is his normal."
"So, you guys already know my brother and you guys met Tarble earlier today. Well, these are my brother's friends Nappa and... um...Vegeta who is also is Tarble's brother." They politely say hello to us. We nod our heads in return,"I wonder if I'm the only one who noticed him stuttering over my name?" I thought to myself.
"They are my best friends, Krillin, Android 18 and Bulma." Kakarot beamed at them. I swallow down the growl that threatening to come back up again.
"So Goku, are you heading over to my place after school?" The blue hair girl asked, confusing me, "Why does she call him that stupid name?"
Kakarot nods his head, "Of course. I wouldn't break our after school tradition." He bites his lip causing my eyes to train on his mouth. He turns to my brother, "Hey, do you want to join us?"
Tarble look shocked to be included in the conversation, "Umm...sure... if it's okay with you guys?" He looks at Kakarot's friends. They all nod their heads with some sort of smiles on their faces. The blue hair girl jump in, "Of course, we would be happy for you to join us." She smirks, "We got to catch you up to every embarrassing thing that Goku has ever done." That cause Kakarot to yell a "Hey!" in a mock offence. Raditz chuckle, Nappa snorted next to me, Tarble and that blonde chick giggle behind their hand and the bald kid let out a loud laugh. Even I let a small smirk flash across my face.
Kakarot look around the table and pout, "You guys suck." When Tarble calms down, he accepted their offer. The rest of the lunch was just filled with plans between Kakarot and his friends.
The bell ring, Nappa, Raditz, and I went our separate way from the rest of the group after Raditz says bye to his brother. I give Tarble a quick nod that he returned. Once we got to our class, Raditz turned to me, looking the most intimidating that I ever have seen him.
"What was that between you and my little brother?"
All I can think to myself was: "Oh brother."
