Disclaimer: NOT MINE. Just some ideas

Chapter 7:

Everyone waited, they waited for their teacher to speak, but the man seemed to go mute, he hasn't said a word since the class started; it was five minutes ago, he wasn't in the mood to teach right now; there he was leaning over his desk with his arms crossed.

"Uh, Mr. Son?" Bra asked

"Do whatever you want." He whispered under his breath

"Huh?" the entire class asked, what did their teacher just say!?

"Do whatever you want! As long as you're silent!" his voice was, somehow, filled with rage.

Not wanting to make their teacher angrier, they began doing whatever they had to do, the girls were reunited catching up on their gossip, guys talked about how-to-get-a-girl-in-your-bed things, the nerds talked about, well nerdy stuff, the Shakespeareans –art lovers- came up with good plans for their next play, Jeice and Vegeta sat, side to side, Jeice leaned over, grabbed Vegeta's desk and dragged it closer to his, Vegeta had a worried look on his face, what could be wrong with Kakarot? He needed to know, he wanted to know, and he WAS going to know! But he had to think about what to say, how to ask him, he couldn't just blurt it out, what could he say? Maybe Jeice had a good idea, he turned to Jeice as he heard him speak.

"Hmm?" Vegeta looked at him

"I said, what could be wrong with him?"

"I was thinking the same thing."

"You should ask him since you're the only one in the class who is the closest to him."

"I can't just ask him that!"

"Why not?"

"I don't want to perturb him more than he already is."

"Hmmm, you're right." Jeice twisted his mouth

Vegeta knew that Jeice was thinking, so while he gave him space for his thinking he looked back at his teacher, did Chichi do something to him? If she did then she was so going to pay! He remembered the way Kakarot and Gohan acted with each other, so close, a very strong brotherly love between them, when Gohan talked Kakarot didn't annoy him with his comments about the topic, his words with his brother are always innocent, non-hurtful, but between him and his sister everything is always about hurting each other, emotionally, mentally and when they were younger physically. He was tired of that, but what could he do, that's just how they were.

"…Kakarot." He whispered

"I got it!" Jeice laughed

"Huh?"

"Remember that stud from the other day?"

"Stud?"

"Yeah, that hot dude, I think you said Broly Gunn?"

"What about him, you wanna get under his underwear?"

"Pft, yes…but that's not what I was gonna say, remember that Mr. Goku defended you, have you told him your thanks?"

"No…"

"It's a good topic to begin with."

Vegeta stared at his friend for a while, he rolled his eyes and got up, he had wanted to say his thanks to his teacher, he didn't do it because he forgot and because he haven't got the chance to talk to the man…the other day…he could have talk to him…but they kissed and the kiss lead to some skin savoring. He blushed as he looked at his teacher's desk, where…he…was…under…he blushed harder, he passed the girls and walked up to the man's desk.

"Mr. Son?"

What a bother, Kakarot rubbed his face, his green eyes looked up at his student, he felt the heat rise to his face, his heart went crazy, his throat went dry.

"What?"

"Can I speak to you?"

"…Sure." He ran a hand through his sweaty hair, somehow he wanted to listen to Vegeta's voice.

"I didn't have the chance to thank you." He talked low

"Thank me? For what?"

"For defending me from Broly, thank you."

"You would've kissed him if I haven't been there to stop him, am I right?"

"…Are you jealous?"

"And what if I am?"

What the hell did I just say!? Kakarot swallowed hard, he didn't mean to say it, he didn't notice the words coming out, but he was, he was jealous, he didn't love Vegeta, but he was…he looked up at Vegeta's face, he had a smile on his lips, oh God what've I done? He swallowed hard again.

"Can I ask, why are you so blue?"

"…Nothing you should worry about."

"I worry about anything that has to do with you."

What a problem, he thought.

"…"

"From where do you know Broly?"

"…High school."

" Oh…umm, after class, can you and I go eat something?"

"Uh...sure."

"Great." He stood there with a smile on his face.

"You can go back to your seat."

"Oh! Yeah, umm, ha. Ha. Umm, see you in two hours."

Did I just accept his invitation on a date? Kakarot asked himself, yes I did! He rubbed his forehead.

I asked him on a date! And he said yes! He was thrilled, he could die now, die in peace, but not before the date, he thought his teacher was going to say that he had things to do, or had to take care of Goten, but no, instead he said yes! In a very awkward way but he had said yes to him, take that Chichi! This is more painful than any physical or emotionally pain you've caused me bitch! He went back to his seat with a huge smile on his face, Jeice looked at him, he smiled wider and his friend got the hint, both shared a chuckle before the bell rang.

A family restaurant, Vegeta picked a family restaurant, to look more natural of course, they didn't talk, Vegeta kept himself busy doing other things, Kakarot simply stared at him with his palm holding his chin, his eyes followed Vegeta's hands, those hands that made every hair on his body stand on end, but why? His heart continued to be the same, fast beat, he had the awkward sensation of 'butterflies' in his stomach, could he really be falling for Vegeta? no, no, he shook his head, no, it wasn't love. Then what is it? He scratched the back of his head.

"Why are we here?" He asked a nervous Vegeta

"Huh?"

"Why are we here? Did we just come here to stare at each other?"

"No…I just don't know what to say to you."

Kakarot sighed "it's impossible for you to have nothing to say, you're always saying that you love me, that you don't care what it takes to be with me."

"It's true."

Teenagers, Kakarot smirked and shook his head

"Do you really love me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I've proved it once, why won't you believe me!"

"Fine, alright, alright, I believe you."

"…" Vegeta frowned

"Are you alright?"

"Yes…"

"Liar, what's wrong with you?"

"It's just that in your class, I was thinking about you relationship between you and Gohan."

"What about us?"

"You and your brother are so close, makes me sort of jealous."

Kakarot was a bit stunned, his relationship with Gohan was different from Vegeta and Chichi's, he could see that there was always some sort of tension between them, everything they said to each other was hurtful, he wondered why Chichi and Vegeta seem to hate each other, who hates their family? Who could hate their siblings? The situation seemed to affect Vegeta every time he asked about her, when he asked for Chichi he would always answer with a sneer or with a sad expression, now that he thought about it, Chichi once said that she wished she were the only child, Vegeta once said that he preferred her to be far away from him, so much tension, when he and Gohan fought he would always say 'I'm sorry' or Gohan would say 'hey dude, whatever, your right' and it was settled, but with the Ouji siblings it everything was taken seriously.

"Why don't you try to get closer to her?"

"I'm not interested in getting close to her."

"Why?"

"Leave it alone, Kakarot." He said with a sneer

"Fine."

"Do you love my sister?"

"I care about her."

"She's always snatching the things I love away from me." He mumbled

"What?"

"Forget it."

"…" he frowned, what a weird kid.

"What are we?"

"Huh?"

"You and me? We're not just teacher and student anymore."

What do you have to ask something so bothering? Kakarot rolled his eyes

"I told you once, there could not exist a love affair between you and me."

"But there already is a love affair."

"No-"

"Yes, we kiss, then after kissing we have-"

"Alright! Don't say that out loud, idiot!"

Vegeta giggled "sorry."

"…There could exist something."

"Lovers?" he said excited

No, say no, Kakarot! He gulped

"Maybe." He slapped himself mentally.

Maybe was good enough for him! Vegeta followed Kakarot out the restaurant, his mind going a hundred miles, Lovers! Kakarot his lover!? Great! Lovers, he was filled with joy, to make the situation clear to the people who passed by and admired his lover's handsome features, he ran up to him to catch up and he intertwined his finger with his teacher's, Kakarot flinched and tried to pull his hand away but he just squeezed tight.

"Don't worry." Vegeta smiled up at him

"'Don't worry'!? You're holding my hand, we're men."

"So?"

"What if someone I know or you know sees us?"

"It'll be fine, love, nobody knows us here, I picked a restaurant on the other side of the city remember?"

Love!? Please tell me I didn't just hear you calling me 'love'? Kakarot began to cold sweat, he looked at the people, men, women, teenagers and children looked at them, his heart pounded fast, two men holding hands? How absurd, he looked down at Vegeta, he looked rather calm, he wanted to let go of his hand, but deep inside himself he felt calm, feeling Vegeta's skin made him relax, but still the people looked at them weirdly, even a couple of teen girls took a picture of them!

I have no damn idea what the hell is going on with kids today!

Kakarot watched with amaze as the Ouji siblings fought, so much rage in their voices, so much hurtful words, he looked at Chichi's face she was nearly crying with anger, Vegeta nearly broke his teeth from gritting them, their fights weren't screams and yells like his with Gohan's, these were hitting each other in their weak spots with words.

"You're nothing but a waste of time, I can now understand why father wants to send you away." Chichi said

"You can say or do whatever you please, but deep down you will always be what you are, nothing but a half- breed in this house, everyone agrees with me."

"Uh, Chichi, Vegeta, stop." Kakarot tried to calm the situation

"Hm, you must admit, father prefers me over you, you've been nothing but a problem, he said it himself, you can't deny that because you heard him."

"I don't deny it, I heard his words, I became a problem because of you, if you have never existed-"

"Enough!" the group of three looked over at the door, Mr. Ouji came with a frown on his face and with his arms crossed, both siblings went silent, but Chichi couldn't handle the silence and she let out a small sob before making her way up the stairs and to her room, Mr. Ouji sighed and went his separate way, ignoring the fact that Chichi was in tears and Vegeta was left with an aching feeling in his heart.

"Vegeta, don't worry about it, there's things that we siblings say to each other that hurt but you'll get over it" Kakarot tried to make the boy feel better, though he didn't know why he preferred to make him feel better instead of going to Chichi and try to make her cheer up.

"Don't be affected by it, Kakarot."

"Don't listen to Chichi, you know how she is."

"I'm alright, Kakarot…our relationship has always been like that, very different from yours, right?"

"…"

Vegeta smiled at him before walking away to the yard.

Kakarot breathed in the fresh air, he was in an open-air, elegant restaurant, Chichi was speaking to someone, maybe from her father's social circles, he looked at his clothes, nothing compared to the other men, he didn't even reach their dust.

"I'm sorry, Goku, she's married to one of my father's friends."

"Hm, she's beautiful."

"Indeed. Are you enjoying the food?"

"Yes, it's great."

"I picked this restaurant while I was thinking about you." She smiled

"Thank you."

She drank down her cider, Kakarot looked at her, she was truly beautiful, he wished he could love her, but he couldn't look at her without thinking about her brother, he remembered Vegeta's face when he and Chichi fought, he looked proud in the outside but in his eyes he saw a spark of anger mixed with sadness. Chichi was saying something about where to spend their honey moon, she said something about Italy, and something about wanting a white party.

"What do you think, love?" she asked

"Yes, yes, sure, I agree." He said without having any idea of what she said before.

"Great." She smiled and caressed his cheek

"Chichi."

"Yes."

"I want to talk to you about last week."

Chichi rolled her eyes and placed her hand over his "it shouldn't affect you, darling."

"If I'm going to be part of your family it should affect me."

"I agree." She sighed

"Why are you and Vegeta always fighting?"

"We have our reasons."

"Can I know them?"

"You do remember when he called me half-breed?"

"Yes."

"Hm." She scoffed "Our relationship has always been like that since we met each other."

"Met each other? I don't understand."

"We have different mothers."

"Oh…" he was stunned by the news, now he understood why Vegeta and she never got along, jealousy to be the father's favorite.

"He's never been to close to me, he told me once that he wasn't happy about the situation, I was that situation, I believe that the only thing I like about him is his directness, he always speaks his mind not caring if he hurts anyone, he doesn't want to be rude, he's just awfully honest."

"I can agree with you in that."

"Did he say something to you?"

"Nothing of importance."

"…I've always wondered what I had to do to make my servants like me, like they like him."

"Huh?"

"I'm the half-breed in the house, I'm the daughter of Mr. Ouji's lover, I'm Vegeta's half-sister, my father had a love affair with my mother when he was already married to Vegeta's mother, I was born first but it was out of matrimony, Vegeta was born seven years later. My mother died and my father took charge of me, I was disliked by the servants because of my strong personality and my appalling manners, I tried to be perfect and follow the path everyone wanted me to follow, I've always obeyed my father's orders, but I began to suffocate. Vegeta's always been my opposite."

"…" he was too astonished to speak

"He never let himself be influenced by anyone, absorbed in what he most loved to do, the servants always liked him, he was more kind as a kid but he says that since I showed up, I took his father's full attention, and he closed himself to me. But he's much more fragile than others."

"I don't understand."

"How could I explain it…he responds to the person's actions more than he should, if I hurt him he would be hurt for months. I was immature because I always snatched away everything that made him happy, because I thought that if I did, it would make me happy too."

"Are you happy now?"

"I have you, it's enough for me."

Gosh, what am I doing? I can't keep hurting her like this, I can't, Kakarot looked at Chichi and he took a deep breath, he gave her a smile, she smiled back at him and leaned forward to kiss his lips.

There was a small party at Kakarot's house, his cousins, his aunts and uncles were there, they all had a very wonderful personality, kindhearted, like him, Goten and Vegeta were playing with the puppy along with other boys and girls, while Gohan was telling jokes to his uncles and making them laugh so hard they nearly peed in their pants, from time to time Vegeta and Kakarot would share a glance, I love you Kakarot, Vegeta said to his mind and heart, he saw a man gesture him to get close. What does he want?

"Your name is Vegeta, right?"

"Yes, Sir, and you are?"

"Raditz, cousin." The man smiled at him with tenderness

"Pleasure to meet you, Sir."

"Can I talk to you?"

"Yes."

"I cut the crap ok, I've seen the way you look at my cousin since Goten's party."

"Huh?" he went pale

"I know that you love my cousin Goku, Goku is very important for me you know, I'd do anything to protect him and Gohan."

"I'm sure you would." Vegeta tried to smile, why are you saying this to me?

"Goku's been hurt awfully in the past, and you" he pointed at Vegeta "are a troubling existence."

"Me?"

"You're a man, you love a man who is engaged with a beauty, you'll only cause problems to my cousin."

"I don't understand." He felt a hole in the middle of his heart

"You don't now, but soon you'll catch up. Bye, Kid." He turned and walked away

That was fast, he looked at Kakarot with a blank expression, I love him, when I fought with Chichi, we was worried about me, he looked down at the grass, Raditz' words spin in my head, I can't let myself cry, not now, not in front of Kakarot, I never meant to cause him any problems.

"Geta?"

Vegeta looked at Gohan's green eyes "…"

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

Gohan buried his fingers in Vegeta's hair "it looks like if you were going to cry."

"Nonsense."

I can't cry, not now. He swallowed the knot in his throat.

Trouble? Cause trouble? I never meant to do that, I really didn't think about that, what did Kakarot's cousin mean with being a troubling existence? Did he mean that I'll cause trouble to Kakarot in his life just by the fact of loving him? I've always been kind to Kakarot, I've never caused him any harm, have I?...but father says that kindness is the other face of weakness. Would my weakness cause Kakarot trouble? Was Raditz trying to say that my feelings were mediocre? Chichi's right, I am weak. Even the most smallest and meaningless word that can cause people to laugh, for me, it's an enormous scar. Why can't I hate you instead Kakarot? Can you stop loving a person? I envy the ones who forget so easily, I don't have that same facility. Hurt and getting hurt, the wound heals but the scar is still there.

"Are you alright, Mr. Ouji?" he heard his teacher ask, everyone looked over at him

"Yes, Sir, I'm sorry." He got up and read the next paragraph.

I want Kakarot…to be mine. And only I be the one to leave my marks on him. Me? Being mediocre? No, I've never been that. Is it because I'm younger? Is there a limit for this love I have for him? I want him to learn to love me, but I don't want to force him to do something he doesn't want, what can I do? I love him too much to just let him go, I can't let the people who underestimate me win. But what can I do if he doesn't want to love me back?

He's the worst.

Kakarot took the blindfold off his eyes, he stared down at the boy under him, he sighed, moved off the boy and got dressed, he sat on the edge of his bed and waited for his student to dress and leave, his brother and son would be back from Mrs. Cookie's house in any second. Do I feel something for him? Do I? I hate complications like this, I can't understand my feelings anymore, he opened the door for his student, shocked when Vegeta slammed it shut and wrapped his arms around him, their lips touched, Kakarot melted in the kiss, he dragged his student's body closer. There's that same feeling again.

Vegeta held tightly onto Kakarot's neck, he kissed the man with threating tears in his eyes, I love this person, I really do. But does Kakarot love him back? He didn't have the courage to ask, I'd do anything for him, if he asked me to stay away from him, I would.

"We can't keep doing this, Vegeta."

I knew this day would come, was he just using me to relieve his pleasure? No, if he did he wouldn't kiss me…but now he's breaking up with me, it hurts, I don't want to cry, I don't want to leave him, I don't want to be sent to that academy, Vegeta couldn't take so much pressure, it was too much for him to handle, his daily activities, school, his family, Broly Gunn, his self, Gohan was right, he was self-destructing, everyone is right about him. Mediocre, coward, weak, weird and above all, above everything that made him destruct was loving a man he will never have.

"I understand." He let his tears run down his face

"You do?" He was shocked.

"Yes, I can't have a person who doesn't feel the same I do…for me, you've always been perfect, I've always loved the fact that you prefer to be surrounded by books instead of friends despite that you're so handsome, I swear on my life, that there is no other person who can love you like I do, I wish you could feel the same thing I do. I'm sorry if I caused you trouble, I never meant to do it."

"Vegeta-"

"I didn't notice that I was suffocating you, I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you, I've always lived a selfish life, thinking only about my benefits, that's the thing I most hate about myself, I worry about the fact of not seeing you, there's a part of me that doesn't want to cut your freedom but the other part wants to lock you up forever, I don't want Chichi to keep snatching the things I love, but I don't want to hurt you. I don't want you to hate me, so it's better if I separate myself from you, though I'm afraid of letting you go…"

"You never hurt me."

"I entered you're world by force, when I blindfolded you and we made love, it felt like I hurt you, I never thought I would see you make that expression."

"That was…I …you…"

Idiot, you've been suffering for that? Even if I wanted to I could never hate you, because you, you captivated my heart, you've been worried about me all this time? I'm sorry, I should have never pay attention to your actions, you wouldn't be hurt like this, I'm sorry, but it's the best thing to do, even if it hurts me too.

"I'm sorry for falling in love with you." Vegeta tried to smile between his tears.

Vegeta grabbed his backpack, opened the door to his teacher's house and quietly he closed it and walked towards his home, Kakarot shook his head he opened the door quickly but Vegeta was gone from sight. It was the right thing to do, was it?

"And I'm sorry for falling in love with a spoiled brat like you." He whispered to the cold air.

I feel that there's something missing, my heart aches, I did the right thing, I know I did, but then…why does my heart feel like I didn't?

Oh Vegeta! You guys broke up! But now Kakarot love you!

What I done! Guys...listen to a song named Not Strong Enough by Apocalyptica...this chapter is dedicated to my lil sis Valeria.
