PREVIOUSLY...
I get closer to him, and wrap my arms tightly around his body. "You're mine! Only mine!" I say.
I hear him gasp. And that's when I snap out of it. I loosen my grip on him, but still hold him in my arms. I can feel how tense he is. After a long moment, I feel him pushing at my chest. And I let him slip away. He looks up at me with his fists still on my chest. "What are you trying to say, Kakkarot?" he asks me.
I look down to him. I want to say it. I have to...I can't hold it in anymore. I need him, Vegeta, so bad.
"It means...that I want to be with you. That I want to spend my life with you. I want to have children with you. And I want us to live together...I love you, Vegeta..."
Chapter 4: Date-Part 2
/Flashback/
"Where are we going, dad? You said that we were going to go get a snack..." said a little three year-old boy. His father, the king, looked down at him.
"Honestly, Kakkarot. The only thing you ever think about is food." he said, and stopped when he came up to the door of the nursery.
"Where are we? I've never been in this part of the castle before." said a little Kakkarot, who was looking at the giant door in front of them. He had his tail lax behind him, though he was confused. Again, Bardock looked down at his youngest son, the youngest prince.
"We're going to visit your future mate, Kakkarot." he said. He pressed the button that open the door to the room in which they were entering. They were greeted with the cry of a new born, baby saiyan. Kakkarot plugged his ears at hearing this. A saiyan's ears were very sensitive to sound, and the prince was no different.
"What is that?!" Kakkarot asked over all the screaming. His father ignored his question and continued to walk towards the sound.
Young Kakkarot looked around the room, and noticed that it wasn't only the sound of a crying baby in the room. He noticed that his father stood beside a man almost as tall as he was. His hair was spiked up, his skin was tanned by the rays of the saiyan sun, and his tail was wrapped around his waist. He was looking agitated. Kakkarot guessed it was from the really loud crying.
Next to the spiky-haired man was a woman a lot shorter than his father, and the other guy. Like all saiyan's, her hair and eyes were black, and she looked really pretty to the prince. Her hair reached below her chest, and her tail was waving around behind her. Her arms were crossed and she was glaring at the spiky haired man.
He saw another person standing to, what for him, looked like a bed with railings all around it. The other man wasn't a saiyan though, and he looked old with all those wrinkles around his skin. He looked back to his father, who was speaking to the tall guy with the spiky hair. He noticed the woman looking from the men to where the crying was coming from. He looked at his father again, and saw that both men were looking at him. He was told by his father to come closer, and he did.
"I want you to meet your mate, Kakkarot." said his father. Kakkrot looked up at him with a confused look. He asked himself, what was a mate?
"A mate? What is that, dad? Is that food?" he asked, really hoping it was food. The king rolled his eyes at him, and shook his head no.
"No, boy! A mate is..." then stopped because he didn't know how to put it. "A mate is...is...the person you spend your life with I guess...you have a baby with them..." he tried to explain.
"A baby?" he questioned. King Bardock nodded his head at his son. He turned his head to the direction of the crying and his youngest son did the same.
Bardock walked towards the crying with his son by his side. There was a little ladder on one side of the crib so little Kakkarot could see the child, his future mate. He climbed up the steps, and put his hands on the railing looking down to what was crying. And he gasped when he saw it was a mini version of the man with spiky hair. His tiny body was covered by a dark blue soft blanket, though his tail still poked out of the blanket. His hair spiked up, and his bangs falling on his forehead. He had his little tan fists clenched, and some of the blanket in his fists.
Kakkarot looked at the baby in aw. He didn't even notice that the baby stopped crying and stared at him as well. His small tail slightly smacking the bed as if it was trying to wag it. Kakkarot doing the same, wagging his tail like a dog. He moved one of his hands closer to the baby, and touched his cheek. The little baby was leaning into the touch, and started to purr. Kakkarot gave a purr of his own, matching the baby's. Away from Kakkarot's attention, Bardock turned to the baby's father. He smirked and nodded at him, the man with the spiky hair doing the same. The woman next to the man just flicked her tail in anger and scoffed at their gestures.
Bardock turned back to his son and said, "This saiyan is going to be your mate, Kakkarot." Said saiyan was snapped out of his trance and looked up at his father. He gave him a look without any emotion, and then looked down and smiled at the baby.
"My mate...What's its name?" Kakkarot asked as he stared at the baby before him. His smile grew more when the baby took a hold of one of his fingers and clamped his fist around. The baby's tail started moving around trying to wrap it around Kakkarot's wrist.
Bardock scowled at his son because he reffered his friend's son, as an it. "It's not an 'it'. It is a saiyan boy, and his name is Vegeta." he said.
Kakkarot heard the name of his future mate. "Vegeta..." he mumbled. He noticed that the baby named Vegeta smiled at him. Kakkarot smiled back at him, and lifted his tail to touch baby Vegeta.
Like his hand, Kakkarot rubbed his tail on Vegeta's cheek, and he heard the baby purr again. Vegeta started to move his tail, and wrapped it around his own tail. Kakkarot tightened his grip on Vegeta's tail. He started his purr again. "Vegeta...Vegeta will be my mate. Vegeta is going to be my mate..." he kept repeating.
Bardock was feeling proud of how possessive his son was all ready with this little baby. They will be inseparable when they get older. Bardock was there for an hour or more, waiting for Kakkarot to get tired of watching the baby, but he never did. He growled in frustration at him, "Kakkarot, it's time to go. Let the kid rest."
Kakkarot was still standing at that same spot the whole, never getting tired of looking at his future mate. Baby Vegeta had fallen asleep long ago, so Kakkarot just stared at his sleeping face. "No, I wanna stay with Vegeta." he whined as he looked at his father.
"No way, brat. It's time to go! We've been here long enough!" he said and he came up from behind Kakkarot and grabbing him by the collar of his saiyan armor.
"No! Let me stay with Vegeta! Vegeta! Vegeta!" he yelled as he was pulled away from his possession. Baby Vegeta's eyes shot open at the sound of Kakkarot's distressed voice, and started crying loudly again.
At the moment that Kakkarot heard Vegeta crying, he harshly took his father's hand away from him and ran to his future mate. He stepped on the stool again, and moved his tail towards Vegeta's face trying to comfort him. Seconds later, Vegeta looked up at the familiar scent that seemed to make him happy. He looked up and saw Kakkarot's face. His cries quieted down into sniffles as he wrapped his on tail around the prince's.
Vegeta has calmed down and fell asleep again. His tail still wrapped around Kakkarot's. The little prince looked at his father, who's face was red from anger. "Come boy, we're leaving!" he said.
Kakkarot hesitated and looked back at Vegeta, and then back at his father. "I'm going to see him again, right?" he asked.
Bardock crossed his arms. "Sure, Kakkarot. You can come tomorrow if you want." he said, hoping that they could finally leave.
It took a while, but the prince nodded his head and let his tail slip away from Vegeta's. "Okay, let's go." he said and started walking to the door. The door opened and he looked back at Vegeta. He gasped when he saw the woman carrying him in her arms. "What are you doing?!" he yelled running back into the room.
The woman looked at the young prince. "I'm taking my child home." she said, firmly holding Vegeta in her arms.
"Your child?" he asked. His tail flicked behind him in confusion.
The woman smiled at him. "Yes, I'm Vegeta's mother." she said. Her tail slipped from her waist caress her son's skin. Kakkarot clenched his fists as he saw Vegeta wrapping his tail around hers like he did with his own.
He was about to stomp towards her when his father's voice stopped him. "What? Are you jealous of his mother, Kakkarot?" he questioned and smirked when he got the reaction he was looking for.
Kakkarot blushed from the embarrasement. "What?! No, let's just go all ready!" he said, and stomped out getting one last glimpse at Vegeta in the woman's arms.
He stomped his way around the castle. Why am I so angry at the woman?! It's Vegeta's mom. He pictures Vegeta in his mind. He's mine! Only mine!
/Flashback Over/
VEGETA'S POV
"You're mine! Only mine!" Kakkarot yelled at me.
Those words kept ringing in my head. My ears must be playing with me. I couldn't just have heard that. I mean, Kakkarot hates me...right? Then, why would he say that I'm his. This has got to be some kind of trick right? I snap out of my thoughts and try to push myself away from Kakkarot's grip.
I look up at him. I feel myself filling with hope that I have actually heard those words. I got to know if it is true. "What are you trying to say, Kakkarot?" I ask him.
Please...please say those words that I want to hear. That I have been dying to hear for so long. It's just three words, but they would mean so much to me. Then, I would know...
I would know that falling in love with you wasn't a mistake. That it isn't another mistake that I have made.
Say you love me too...Say you love me, Kakkarot.
And I finally hear those words. Those three words, and I heard much more than I needed to. But that's okay. Because I have a feeling that we could make his dreams come true. Kakkarot looks down at me and says to me, "It means...that I want to be with you. That I want to spend my life with you. I want to have children with you. And I want us to live together...I love you, Vegeta..."
I felt my heart explode with happiness. After so long, I hear those words. I know that they're true. Kakkarot has never lied before. He's too kind to. I stand there in front of him staring up at him from hearing his words. I can't believe it. He loves me...
He wants to be with me...
He wants to have children with me...
He snaps me out of my thoughts when he speaks, "Vegeta? Are you okay?..." he asks me. He is looking down at me with a worried expression.
I don't show any emotions, and just stand there in front of him. I saw the hurt expression on his face, when I say nothing...when I do nothing.
He snaps at me. "Vegeta! Please, say something...Say that you love me...I love you, Vegeta...so, don't hate me...I love you..."
He said it again. Those wonderful words that make my heart explode with happiness, and makes my stomach flutter. I start moving, wanting him to feel the way that I feel about him. The fists that still lay on his chest start to move up and wrap themselves around Kakkarot's neck. And I move in, leaning up to touch my lips to his. When I feel my lips touch his, something inside explodes. The flutters in my stomach grow more, and my heart feels like it's beating a thousand times per minute. I stay there, pressing my lips to his, until I finally get a response.
I feel Kakkarot start to wrap his strong arms around my waist. I feel him deepening the kiss between us. Our tails wrap intertwined, and started rubbing against each other. I felt his mouth open and his tongue slipping out to touch my lips. I let it in. I didn't want it to end, but I needed to breathe. And we broke away.
Our tails were still intertwined. I was catching my breath, and I noticed Kakkarot doing the same. It looks like I wasn't the only one enjoying myself. I look into his eyes, and he looks into mine. For the first time in a long time, I feel genuinely happy. Once I catch my breath, I smile at him and say, "I love you too, Kakkarot..."
I finally said it. I finally told him how I feel for him. And knew that he wouldn't reject me, like I thought he would with that stupid arrangement we had because our fathers. He says nothing, but tightens his grip of his arms around my waist and pulls me closer to him. I only reach his chest. I lean into him, and say nothing as well.
For what felt like only a couple of seconds to me, we broke apart. Kakkarot leaned down and gave me a chaste kiss. It was a little unsatisfying after what we had done before, but I'll get through. He pulls me away from the warmth of his body and removes my arms from his neck. He takes my hands in his and intertwines our fingers together, like our tails. "Vegeta..." he mumbles.
I look from our hands, up to his face. He smiles at me, and I smile back. I was about to say something but he spoke before me. "You're smiling...you're really smiling." he says.
I guess he has a reason to say that since I haven't smiled for so long. I guess it's been years now, since I actually made a real smile. "Yes...I am." is all I can say.
"Why?" he asks. I gave him a confused expression, and he continued to explain. "Why are you smiling?" he asks more clearer this time.
It took me a while to answer, "Why?" I repeat his question, "Because I am happy, Kakkarot..."
I continue, "I've loved you for so long. And I thought that you were only with me because of-"
Goku interrupted me with a finger to my lips to stop me from talking. I felt like blushing when his finger touched my lips. "Wait, let's have this conversation later," he came in closer and whispered. "There are people here."
I look around and notice people surrounding us. Some with gaping mouths, others with blushed on there face. I guess they saw us kissing or something. I looked to Kakkarot and saw him smiling as he looked at me. I nod an okay. He holds onto one of my hands, and his tail wraps around my waist. "Why don't we finish our date first?" he asked me, and all I could do is nod. We leave the crowd standing there.
We walked around for hours. Looking around the market, and looked at people dancing in the streets. It seems that he noticed my fondness of children. I couldn't believe what he said to me. He said we could try to have our own soon, since it is almost mating season. This mating season will be our first, and I don't know what to do. I was too young for the last mating season, and Kakkarot was off planet for some reason.
Every eight years, Planet Son's moon turns this red color that makes every matured saiyan go wild. This time, we're both old enough to mate. During the mating season, all young saiyans leave in the ship loads, to planets with an alliance to Planet Son. They spend a week or two there until all saiyans ruts and heat were gone. I can't wait for mating season.
Kakkarot took us to an early dinner to this fancy restaurant. We ate like pigs. But they didn't care since Kakkarot was the prince. Anyways, we're saiyans, we eat a lot over all. After we left the restaurant, Kakkarot took me to the town's playground. Where we could see children play. I looked around at the almost empty saiyan playground. I saw some little ones playing up in the fifty foot tall trees. I saw others playing on the swing set thing. I remember Kakkarot telling me that he got the idea from spending time on Earth. I decided to sit in a tree.
I flew up into the branches, Kakkarot following me behind. He sat next to me, and then wrapped an arm around me. Our tails hung below us intertwining again. I leaned into his side, and felt myself calming down with him by my side. I rested my head on his shoulder and inhaled his scent. I felt Kakkarot's head on top of mine, and felt him kiss the top of my head. I smile and close my eyes, completely relaxed. We stay there for hours, until the crescent moon was up in the sky. During the time, I barely notice my body being moved from being beside Kakkarot, to sitting on his lap.
Our long, relaxing silence was broken by Kakkarot. "Vegeta, let's go home. It's dark outside now." he says and then yawn afterwards. I stretch in his arms, and move from his lap. We land on the ground, And leave the park. Kakkarot's says he wants to leave me at my house to make sure I'm safe. I think he is just saying that, we both know that no one can beat me on this planet other than him. We land at the entrance, and I look up at him.
He smiles at me, and then wraps his arms around my waist again. He leans down and I smile. I wrap my arms around his neck and meet him for a kiss. We wrap our tails together, and deepen the kiss. Kakkarot takes his tongue out and licks my lips. I open them and he explores my mouth. He touches my tongue, and I tense. I think he notices because he pulls away.
We look in each others eyes and he smiles at me again. Kakkarot unwraps his arms from me, and holds one of my hands. I don't know what he's doing. He pulls my sleeve up and it reveals the bracelet that he gave me last year. I look at him, and he looks back at me. He looks back at the bracelet, and brings it to his lips. He kisses it.
"I'm so happy that you wore this. It looks really pretty on you." he says to me and kisses the bracelet again.
I couldn't help the blush that over took my face. I look away to the side and look at the ground. I hear him chuckle. And next thing I know, he licks the nape of my neck. I let out some type of gasp and moan. It sounded so girly. My tail shivered against Kakkarot's and I pulled it away from him. I look up at him with a furious blush on my face. I hear him chuckle again. He leans down and kisses my forehead, and then pulls away, letting go of my hand.
"Goodbye, Vegeta. I'll see you tomorrow." he says, and starts to take off in the sky.
I see him lifting off the ground and start to fly away. All I could do was stare at his figure flying away from me. He doesn't live far away from me. He only lives on tip of the biggest hill, which is only a mile west of my home. After he is out of sight, I turn an enter my home...
Okay, this is it for this chapter. I hope you like it!
In the next chapter, it will begin where I left off. I just didn't feel like writing a longer chapter & making you guys wait more...
Next chapter will be called: Memories
I'm thinking that most of the next chapter will reflect on how Vegeta tells Goku what he felt over the years. And maybe I'll talk more about Vegeta's mother...
Oh! And I hope you guys don't mind that Vegeta acts so different from the 'real Vegeta.'
Kay, again, five reviews (5)! See ya guys later!
