Together Forever
April 13 2023
Vegeta spent the day secretly watching Bulma curiously, he could tell she was definitely distracted today as she went through her normal routine. "Vegeta." Keisha said softly as she landed beside him on the roof of the building, he was standing on watching Bulma traveling between the gravity ship and the house carrying her tool bag. He just grunted at her without looking at her. "Have you thought to explain yourself to her yet?" she asked curiously.
"What?" Vegeta asked glancing over at her confused before returning his attention to Bulma who was about to enter the house.
"Vegeta her culture is different than ours." Keisha said as she crossed her arms under her breasts raising an eyebrow at her brother.
"Of course, it's different." Vegeta scoffed and rolled his eyes. "What are you on about?" he asked irritably as Bulma walked into the house and he turned to face Keisha.
"You've started this Mating ritual without explaining it to her." Keisha said shaking her head at him with a slight frown.
"I did not!" Vegeta said indignantly as he stared at her with a frown on his lips. He was silently wondering if he had misread the signs somewhere along the way.
Keisha looked at him confused tilting her head slightly. "You believe she initiated?" she asked curiously, wondering what in the hell had happened over the last couple of days while she was unconscious.
"Yes..." Vegeta said confused looking at Keisha, definitely starting to worry he had misinterpreted her intentions.
"How?" Keisha asked with a raised eyebrow.
"She broke up with the Human for me." Vegeta said his cheeks were turning red as he glanced away from his sister embarrassed.
"She tell you that?" Keisha asked curiously wondering how he had come up with this idea that Bulma had left her boyfriend for him.
"Yes." Vegeta said, turning from Keisha back to Bulma as she walked back into the yard looking around curiously for something or someone. The latter being a nervous hope.
"Ah, I see. And you are pursuing that perceived advance." Keisha said with a small nod and smile as she too turned to watch Bulma curiously.
"Perceived." Vegeta said irritably as he glanced over at her, wishing she would go away and stop asking questions.
"Yes perceived. They don't date like we do? We are more direct, and they like to go slow beating around the bush. What we perceive as an advance to start a relationship maybe something different for her. You need to speak to her before continuing." Keisha said laying a hand on his shoulder lightly, she had seen from the moment they met he had an attraction to this woman. She was beautiful and smart not to mention how high strong this Human is, so she had no issues with the arraignment.
"We've kissed already." Vegeta said embarrassed as he watched Bulma throw up her hands and walk back into the house.
"Oh..." Keisha said surprised as she looked over at him.
"I... need her." Vegeta said glancing over at his sister, worried now that he may have begun something that she didn't want.
"Like I said, talk with her Vegeta. You may need to adjust your approach." Keisha said with a small smile on her lips. She lifted off the roof "It's lunch time, you coming?" she asked curiously then when he shook his head no, she shrugged and flew down to the ground and walked into the house.
"Oh, hello again." a young male scientist said as he walked over in front of Keisha curiously. "How are you?" he asked, wondering if she really felt good enough to be walking around.
"Who are you exactly?" Keisha asked curiously as she raised an eyebrow at this man. The scientists usually didn't speak to her or Vegeta.
"Oh, right you were unconscious when I put you to bed. Hi I'm Minato Kosuda." Kosuda said sticking his hand out to shake this woman's hand.
"Would you like to clarify that statement?" Keisha asked narrowing her eyes at this brazen man for his insinuation.
"Oh...uhm...I helped Miss Bulma..." Kosuda said turning bright red nodding over to Bulma coming down the stairs towards there as he pulled his hand back.
"What's going on?" Bulma asked curiously seeing Keisha's annoyed expression once she was beside her.
"I... Uhm...I..." Kosuda said lost for words really wanting to run away and hid since his face was completely red and he could feel the heat radiating off his face.
"He said he put me to bed." Keisha said slightly amused at this man's reaction.
"Oh..." Bulma said and laughed lightly covering her mouth with her hand. "He helped me get you off the floor when you collapsed the other day. He's been asking about you ever since." she said with a smile on her lips as she looked over at Keisha.
Vegeta walked into the room from outside curiosity, getting the better of him. Bulma had walked down to meet with his sister and the human from the other day who had grabbed him. "What's going on?" he asked gruffly as he stopped beside Keisha keeping her between him and Bulma.
"He said he put me to bed." Keisha said with a smirk on her lips and a raised eyebrow over Vegeta while motioning to Kosuda with her hand.
"He what?" Vegeta said aggravated as he glared over at this young scientist.
"An unfortunate choice of words I assure you." Kosuda said shaking his hands in front of him, he felt like he was going to be sick, and he just wanted to run away.
"Come on you two, lunch is ready for you." Bulma said, stepping to the side and motioning them towards the kitchen. "Come along it's just a misunderstanding." She said with a laugh as she moved over in between them and Kosuda, her hand brushing against Vegeta's arm as she ushered him and Keisha away.
"I'm so sorry Miss Bulma. I didn't mean to cause trouble." Kosuda said with his hands on his knees bent over breathing slightly hard.
"You going to be alright?" Bulma asked as she snickered lightly placing her hand on his back patting it lightly.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Kosuda said honestly glancing up at her.
Bulma laughed lightly. "They can be a handful but they're great people. Try talking to them again later, perhaps with clearer straightforward words." she said helping him stand up. "Where you here to see Father again?" she asked curiously pointing to the hallway towards her father's lab.
"Uh, yes but I was actually just leaving when I saw her." Kosuda said motioning towards the kitchen where the two Sayain's had gone. "I just wanted to see how she was doing, and I screwed that all up." he said with a small sigh, he had thought about her a lot the last few days.
"No worries." Bulma said laughing as she led him towards the front door to head back to the corporations' labs for their hired scientists.
In the Kitchen Vegeta looked at Keisha from beside the entrance to the kitchen curiously listening to the conversation between Bulma and Kosuda. "Well, he's a marshmallow." Vegeta said and rolled his eyes over at Keisha.
"Dude got flustered." Keisha said with a laugh. "You know eavesdropping is rude right?" she said looking over at him from her plate over at the dinner table.
"Like you weren't listening. I'm going to go train." Vegeta said dismissively as he walked out of the room just seconds before Bulma walked into the room from the other side.
"Ugh... he's gone again." Bulma whispered to herself frustrated after looking around the room to see Vegeta gone.
"Said he was going to train." Keisha said with a shrug as she continued eating lunch.
"He's a hard man to track down." Bulma said flopping down in the seat across from Keisha with a cup of coffee in her hands.
"Not really." Keisha said with a raised eyebrow as she looked up at Bulma curiously.
"Maybe not for you." Bulma said with a dismissive wave of her hand. "I'll catch him when he's done training." she said with a sigh looking up at the roof.
They sat there for several minutes in silence while Keisha ate her lunch and contemplated the situation between Bulma and Vegeta. "Well, I've got training to do myself." Keisha said as she stood up looking at Bulma curiously wondering if she had anything else to say.
"Yeah, go ahead. I've got work to do." Bulma said getting up herself and heading towards her lab muttering to herself about irritating Sayains.
~*~*~*~ Later that Night ~*~*~*~
Vegeta had skipped dinner again and avoided walking through the house, he had just flown from the gravity ship up to the balcony to his room and went in that way. To be honest he was avoiding Bulma just so he wouldn't have to have that uncomfortable talk Keisha kept pushing him towards. He had just got out of the shower when someone knocked on his door. He could feel it was Bulma and he sighed as he wrapped a towel around his waist then using his hand towel began drying his hair as he walked across the room. "Yes." he said gruffly as he opened the door.
Bulma had been looking down at her feet preparing to walk away because he obviously didn't want to talk to her. Then the door suddenly opened, and she began to look up. Her jaw dropped slightly when she realized he was naked standing in front of her with just a towel around his waist. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize you were busy. I can come back later." Bulma managed to get out as her face turned red as she looked up at him.
"What did you need." Vegeta asked, putting the hand towel around the back of his neck, placing one hand on the door and the other on the door frame.
Bulma looked at his muscular body in awe this man was definitely a very handsome and attractive specimen. She gulped lightly dragging her eyes back up to his. "I... Uhm...wanted to talk..." Bulma managed to choke out at him, the sight of him had her brain fogged up. "I've...I've been... wow..." she said shaking her head lightly.
Vegeta smirked and leaned in slightly letting his muscular arms ripple slightly with the added tension on the door and frame. "Out with-it woman." he said dragging her attention back up to him from the floor.
"You know what Vegeta, you're an ass." Bulma said in a huff as she turned to storm away only to be stopped by his hand on hers dragging her into his room and closing the door.
"This is better for a private conversation don't you think." Vegeta said, crowding her space with his body and one hand up against the wall she was leaning against. He made sure to leave his other arm down with his hand placed on his hip so that she could get away from him if she wanted. "Did you want to leave?" he asked curiously nodding over to the door since that was the arm he had left down.
"Uhm...You are...so close..." Bulma breathed out looking up into his eyes.
"Do you not like it?" Vegeta asked curiously, his gaze holding hers steadily, to be honest if he stayed this close to her without her invitation, they both may regret in a little while.
"It makes it... hard to think." Bulma said softly as she lifted her hand up to the center of his chest and pushed lightly away.
"Very well." Vegeta said as he leaned back and walked over to his dresser where he leaned back on it, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Uhm...well...Keisha..." Bulma said trying to gather her thoughts waving her hand back towards the door motioning towards Keisha's room across the hall. "Well...she mentioned you... uhm initiated...well... uhm we call it marriage." she said embarrassed as she looked up at him.
"I am not opposed." Vegeta said raising an eyebrow at this woman, she seemed so meek at the moment not her normal fiery self. "Your answer is all that remains in question." he said.
Bulma walked over to Vegeta "And what would happen if I were not opposed either?" she asked curiously, looking into his eyes curiously.
Vegeta blushed lightly as he stood up and stepped closer to her. "Then we could be more together." he said leaning over slightly cupping his hand behind her head weaving his fingers into her hair pulling her against him. He was searching her eyes for any signs of distress and seeing none he leaned down farther and claimed her lips wrapping his other arm around her waist dragging her fully against his body.
Bulma relaxed into his hold with her hands on his chest lightly but not pushing away.
Vegeta leaned his head back but held her in place. "Do you understand this is lifelong and unchangeable except by death?" he asked curiously, wondering if she truly understood what this meant for them.
"Yes Vegeta." Bulma said softly as she reached up and cupped his face rubbing her thumb against his cheek lightly.
Vegeta reached down placing his hands under her butt and scooped her up off the floor then carried her to his bed laying her down gently. He crawled onto the bed between her legs then leaned down kissing her loving the feel of her underneath him and the taste of her lips against his. "Last chance to say no." he said breathlessly as he pulled back to look at her.
Bulma leaned up slightly, grabbed the bottom of her shirt and ripped it off over her head tossing it on the floor beside them. She reached behind her undoing her bra letting him help her slide the straps off her shoulders then tossed it on the floor as well. She lifted her hand up, placing it behind his neck and lightly pulled to bring him closer to her.
Vegeta leaned down at her urging kissing her again as he reached down and began undoing her pants so he could pull them down over her bottom. He leaned back so he could get the pants off her legs then undid the towel around his waist piling that on the floor beside them too. He positioned himself above her and slowly slid home making sure he was not hurting her. He leaned down and kissed her as he moved experimentally forward and backward with his hips.
Bulma moaned out softly as she reached up with her hands needing to touch him. Her hands roamed his chest, sides and back as he managed a slow rhythm above her, while kissing on her neck. She had moved her head to the side to give him unfettered access. She bit her lip and moaned softly arching up to him slightly wanting to feel more of him all over her body.
Vegeta growled softly as he leaned back to watch her body in motion with him while putting his arms under her knees shifting her angle while holding her in place with his hands wrapped around holding her legs.
Bulma had her hands on the pillow beside her head facing up kind of unsure what else to do with them since he was kneeling between her legs upping his pace a little. "Mmmm." she moaned out softly closing her eyes and biting her bottom lip.
Vegeta unwrapped his arms from her legs and leaned forward again claiming her lips while bracing himself on the headboard with one hand and the other holding her hands above her head. He could feel her muscles flexing around him and he upped his pace again pounding harder into her.
"Oh, Vegeta!" Bulma said as she arched to him pressing her breast against his bare chest above her. And that just spared him on to an even harder pace. Her body screaming for release as she moaned out not trying anymore to be quiet.
"Come for me Bulma." Vegeta growled out softly against her ear breathlessly. After a couple of more pumps into her she did just that. He leaned over her laying his head on her pillow beside her head regaining his breath.
Bulma moved her head so she could turn to look at him, also trying to catch her breath. She leaned over and kissed his cheek lightly with a soft smile on her lips.
Vegeta moved off of her and laid down beside her pulling the sheet over them before laying back and covering his eyes with his left arm. He looked under the arm curiously when Bulma moved his right arm so she could scoot up against his body with her own. She laid her head down on his arm and draped her leg across his right leg so that it was in between his legs. Then she laid her hand on his chest lightly tracing small hearts on his chest. He wrapped his right arm around her slender body to rest on her side pulling her against him. Not too long afterwards her finger on his chest had stilled, and the soft rhythmic breathing of sleep began.
The next morning Vegeta opened his eyes slowly as the sun began to beam into his room. He was curled up to a soft wonderful smelling woman holding her around the waist with her back against his chest. He glanced outside to see how much daylight there was then over at his alarm clock on his nightstand. 'Damn it...' he thought as he rolled over carefully then got dressed as quietly as he could before leaving his room to the sleeping beauty in his bed. He made his way downstairs and out the back sliding door to find his sister sitting there on the patio drinking water humming softly to herself.
Keisha had obviously trained overnight like usual with her training bots sitting on the table in front of her waiting for Bulma to plug in and do diagnostics on them. "Did you have a pleasant night?" she asked, trying to hide the smirk that was on her lips with her water bottle in her hands ready to drink.
"Shut up!" Vegeta growled out at her in a huff as he began walking by her.
"I expected you hours ago. Do you want a sparring partner, or did you have enough last night?" Keisha said suggestively as she leaned back in her chair, razzing her brother a little.
Vegeta was back at her side in an instant. "Shut up, don't talk about her like that." he said quietly but with a real threat in his voice.
"I'll stop." Keisha said holding her hands up in a surrender gesture with a small laugh. Even with his threatening posture the pink spread across his cheeks giving away his embarrassment to know his sister had probably sensed everything last night.
"Just leave it alone okay." Vegeta said standing up and heading back towards the ship again.
Keisha laughed lightly and shook her head at her pride filled brother. She picked up her training bots and took them inside to leave them in Bulma's lab. "Oh, hi again." she said coming out of Bulma's lab to find Kosuda coming out of Dr. Briefs lab.
Kosuda turned to see Keisha standing there and his cheeks turned bright red. "Hi!" Kosuda said nervously then took off down the hall.
Keisha shrugged then followed after the young scientist quietly watching him fidget with the plans, he had in his hands nervously and inevitably dropped them scattering them all over the floor. She snorted and shook her head at the man now trying to pick the papers up quickly. "What are you working on anyway, that requires you to come see Dr. Brief's almost daily?" she asked curiously as she stopped and began to help him.
"Scanning system for a new spaceship." Kosuda said with a small gulp as he looked up at Keisha surprised, she was helping him.
"Hum, interesting. I have some knowledge of scanners on spaceships perhaps I can help you." Keisha said handing the schematic's back to the young scientist.
"Oh...uhm... I would have to get Dr. Brief's approval on that." Kosuda said as he stood up. Looking at her curiously, now you wouldn't have known she was so seriously injured less than a week ago.
"Naturally." Keisha said with an eyebrow raised at the young man, then turned and started for the stairs across the living room.
"Thanks, miss..." Kosuda said and watched her walk away curiously.
"Just call me Keisha." Keisha called over her shoulder before taking the stairs two at a time to the second floor.
"Oh... Keisha." Bulma said embarrassed as she stopped just short of the stairs, she had on her shirt but was carrying everything else trying to make it to her room before anyone saw her.
"Good morning, Princess." Keisha said with a knowing smile on her lips as she blocked the path by her. "Kosuda is down in the living area fixing to leave." she said with an eyebrow raised.
"Figures." Bulma said with a huff as she just stood there with Keisha looking at her. "Wait Princess..." she said looking back up at her shocked.
"Don't tell me you forgot my brother is the Sayain Prince." Keisha said with a small giggle.
"I... uh...got to go." Bulma said then darted around Keisha to the other side of the stairwell and into her room glancing back at Keisha who was watching her and sniggering.
Keisha laughed as she walked down the hall to her bedroom deciding today was going to be an interesting day and she was going to stay up, so she went to the bathroom to shower. As she was getting everything set up for her shower, she felt an annoying presence downstairs and could hear the annoying presence currently yelling from downstairs for Bulma to come out and see him. "Oh, this ought to be good." she mumbled to herself leaving her room and heading down the hall.
"Bulma ran out of her room and over to the stairs. "Shut up Yamcha! Leave!" she yelled at him as she started down the stairs angrily.
Keisha followed her down the stairs quickly but let the scene play out. She remained close to Bulma to protect her while she argued with Yamcha.
"Why are you down here Sayain this has nothing to do with you. Go away." Yamcha said angrily as he switched from his argument with Bulma to glaring over at Keisha.
"I'm just here to remove you if necessary." Keisha said with an eyebrow raised at this brazen idiot.
"This is a private conversation so see your way out." Yamcha said angrily with a wild swing of his hand in a shooing motion.
"Bulma he needs to go." Keisha said sternly as she glanced over to the back door leading out to the gravity ship.
"I know I'm trying the idiot won't leave." Bulma said as she huffed and placed her hands on Yamcha's chest and pushed trying to force him to leave.
"He really has to go." Keisha said, turning her attention back to Bulma and Yamcha. She saw Bulma struggling to push Yamcha away who wasn't budging an inch, so she stepped in. "Leave!" she said not so gently grabbing him by the back of his Gi and tossing him towards the front door.
"What the hell is your problem?" Yamcha yelled angrily as he jumped up and was right in Keisha's face, letting his anger override his judgement.
"I can handle this, Keisha." Bulma said stepping up beside Keisha trying to get her to back off.
"Vegeta's coming." Keisha said warningly over to Bulma with a slight nod to the back door.
"Who the fuck cares! Get out of my way I want to talk to Bulma!" Yamcha yelled in Keisha's face.
"You're a fool." Keisha said, grabbing him and slamming him to the floor. "Believe it or not moron I'm trying to save your pathetic life." she said as she picked him up off the floor by his Gi and carried him to the front door and threw him out of the house. "You had better leave Bulma alone, boy. She's not yours and will never be again." she said stepping outside the front door to block his way back into the house.
"And what in the hell did that mean?" Yamcha asked angrily as he stood up dusting himself off.
"Suffice to say in Human terms Bulma's married. Take the hint and scurry off to find a new girlfriend." Keisha said as she crossed her arms under her breast and just stood there daring him to try and get past her again.
"Where is he?" Vegeta could be heard asking angrily then he popped out the front door behind Keisha with Bulma holding his hand trying to pull and keep him inside.
"Keisha, has it handled Vegeta." Bulma said worried glancing over at Yamcha.
"You married him?" Yamcha accused angrily as he glared at Bulma. "So, I was right to not like him being here!" He accused as he pointed at Vegeta.
"Leave!" Keisha said angrily as she marched over to Yamcha while upping her power level to prove a point.
Yamcha glared at Keisha angrily but did leave surrounding himself in his aura and taking to the skies. Heading towards Kame house.
"I'll kill him." Vegeta said angrily as he just stood there holding Bulma's hand glaring after Yamcha as he disappeared into the distance.
"You can't pick my friends for me Vegeta. This wasn't the way to tell him." Bulma said sadly watching her longtime friend vanish.
"Friend! He's your ex-boyfriend. It's unfitting to be seen with him." Vegeta said looking down at her shocked.
"He's still my friend Vegeta. We've known each other since we were teenagers." Bulma said looking up at him.
"Unacceptable." Vegeta said angrily this man should never have the ability to get near his Bulma again in his opinion.
"Unacceptable to you or not, he is my friend." Bulma said angrily as she looked up at Vegeta unwilling to bend on the subject. "I will not let you choose who I can be friends with or not. I am who I am, and you knew that going into this!" she said putting her hands on her hips looking up at him daring him to disagree with her.
"Blasted woman, won't listen to anything." Vegeta said frustrated as he threw up his hands and walked away heading back out to the gravity ship.
"Get used to that. He's going to be very protective over you." Keisha said with a small shrug as she walked over to her friend and watched her brother mumbling and grumbling to himself walking away.
"I am my own person; I am not property." Bulma said angrily shifting her gaze from the retreating form of Vegeta over to Kisha annoyed by the whole situation.
"No one said you were property. But he will probably never trust Yamcha around you because he knows Yamcha wants you still." Keisha said raising an eyebrow at Bulma.
"Prince or not I'll be damned if he rules over my life." Bulma said angrily before she turned and walked away going down the hall to her lab.
"He wants you to rule with him, not be a subject by the way." Keisha said down the hall loudly watching Bulma stop for a moment then continue down the hall but at a calmer pace with less tension in her steps. Keisha smiled and shook her head then went back upstairs to finally take her shower.
