Don't Worry, I Watch Over You
Bulma rushed to turn on the computer screen when she heard an explosion. It had been strong enough to shake the whole house. The Gravity Room had been built to be proof against any kind of explosion. But with Vegeta, you never knew. The smoke cleared and she saw the Saiyan lying on his stomach on the floor. She turned on the microphone. Now what has that idiot done ? She was furious. It was not the first time she had told him to be careful and stop before he caused any damage. But he never listened to her.
"Vegeta !" She raged. "How many times did I tell you to be careful ? You almost blew up the house !"
Vegeta did not answer and remained lying on the floor.
"Vegeta !"
That's strange, Bulma thought. Something must have happened to him otherwise he would have yelled at her a long time ago for bothering him.
"Vegeta ! Answer me !"
Still no reaction. Bulma ran out of her lab and headed for the Gravity Room. She entered and rushed towards him. He was passed out. Bulma sighed, relieved. At least he was still alive.
~00~
Bulma sat on a chair next to Vegeta's bed and stared at him. He was still unconscious. He had exhausted himself training, until he fainted. She knew the threat from the cyborgs was serious, but that was not a reason to exhaust himself so much. She had checked his constants and they were good. He should wake up any moment.
She had managed to bring him to his bed thanks to Yamcha who had come to pick her up for dinner. In the end, she canceled their date to stay with Vegeta. Yamcha had been upset and left angry, but she did not care. That'll teach him to have canceled their date last week to go out with another woman. Yamcha had assured her it was just a business dinner, but Bulma was not stupid, she knew that was a lie. After all, it was not the first time he cheated on her. She had always forgiven him, but she was getting tired of it.
As time went by, her feelings for Yamcha had changed. He was her first love and he will always have a special place in her heart, but what she felt for him now was the same friendship she had for Goku or Krillin.
As for Vegeta, her feelings were still a bit unclear. Since he was living with her, she had gotten to know him and he was not the monster she thought he was. He was not always easy to get on with and even if he hid it, she had discovered that he was a good person. It was still too early to know if she was in love. But she could not wait to find out. Vegeta slowly opened his eyes.
"You finally came to."
Vegeta looked at her, wondering what had happened.
"You pushed yourself too hard during your training and passed out."
"I have to go back to train."
He tried to get up, but Bulma stopped him and made him lie down. She knew he let her do. He was much stronger than her and if he really wanted to, he would already be up.
"Don't worry," Bulma said. "I watch over you."
"I didn't ask you anything."
He turned to the other side of the bed. Bulma could not help smiling. It was his way of thanking her. As for Vegeta, he felt appeased by her presence, like every time he was with her. Who would have thought that the prince of the Saiyans would have fallen in love with a human ?
