*Knock Knock* "Hay Vegeta, you in?" Kakarot laughed as he opened the door and let himself in and check every room. "Brilliant, looks like he isn't back yet." Kakarot grinned as he lay down a large bag on the sofa and set to work.
"God that was horrible." Vegeta moaned as he stretched the stiffness from his back. "When I become King the first thing I'm going to do is make it so sitting in the same meeting for more than 8 hours is a crime." Vegeta couldn't help but laugh at how it would actually be possible to pass it as a law once he is the King. "Though I have to admit I did learn a lot of that meeting though I couldn't quite shake the feeling I'm forgetting something. Oh well maybe Kakarot will know, he is bound to be waiting for me." Vegeta smiled again as he reached his door and let himself in. "Hi honey I'm home." Vegeta laughed once the door was firmly shut behind him and he knew no one other than Kakarot could hear him.
"Vegeta, welcome back; how was your meeting?" Kakarot smiled as he brought a tray into the living room covered with coffee and cakes.
"Horrible, 8 hours nonstop; if it hadn't been as important as it was I would have left 6 hours ago." Vegeta laughed as he removed his chest armour and sat down on the sofa. Kakarot walked behind him and placed his large hands on Vegeta's shoulders and gently started to massage them.
"Are you all done for the day or do you have any more meetings later tonight?" Kakarot asked.
"Na I'm all done and some good new I'm sure you're going to love." Vegeta smiled as he looked up
"Oh and what's that?"
"I have to run a small task tomorrow morning but after that I have the rest of the day off." Vegeta smiled.
"Seriously, that's great; you haven't had a day off in years." Kakarot laughed as he stopped massaging.
"Oi." Vegeta huffed as he looked back up at Kakarot frowning.
"What I'll do the rest later." Kakarot laughed.
"That's not what I'm angry about. I've been here for ages and you haven't kissed me once yet." Vegeta laughed as he reached his arms up and pulled Kakarot down to him. "That's better." He laughed as he let Kakarot go and started his attack on the coffee and cakes.
It took a long time for their relationship to get like this, a few years of hard work, blood; sweat and tears but it had really paid off. Vegeta was a totally different person when he was alone with Kakarot behind the safety of his bedroom door; he softened up and even started asking and sometimes demanding physical contact like kisses or holding hands. The moment he left the room though he would jump back flawlessly into his normal 'Bad Boy' attitude, but Kakarot didn't mind, he was just happy knowing he saw a side of Vegeta that no one else, not even Nappa had ever seen.
"So how's your day been? You been up to anything interesting while I've been in my meeting?" Vegeta asked as he sat back in his seat and read the headlines of the planet wide electronic paper.
"No not really, we have a few new recruits trying for the royal guard, so I've spent most of my day sparing with them seeing if they have what it takes." Kakarot laughed as he handed over the new recruit's files for Vegeta to have a look at.
"How are you finding your new role Mr. Lieutenant of the royal guard?" Vegeta laughed as he put his paper down and thumbed through the files scanning them over quickly.
"Well I'm enjoying it, all I do is test out new recruits, it's not like I'm a Captain or a Major so I don't really make any huge decisions." Kakarot laughed.
"Don't be stupid, you have the say on who can or can't join the Royal Guards, the life of myself and my family rest in the hands of the people you choose so you make the biggest decisions out of the lot of them." Vegeta spoke sternly making sure Kakarot never again thought his job was small. "You agreed on being my personal bodyguard when you were 13, you have been preparing yourself for this role for years, learning from Nappa, all to ready you for this position."
"I know your right, but sometimes it's a scary thought knowing the final chose is mine alone, sometimes I wish Nappa was still there to check my final decisions sometimes. But on the other hand I'm glad I can pick who it is that gets close to you and the rest of your family." Kakarot smiled and moved seat so he could sit next to Vegeta, "so what do you think?" Kakarot asked as Vegeta put the files down on the table and picked up his coffee.
"Are they your final choses?"
"No I've not made any yet though I think there are 5 I will accept, but the other 2 I think need just a little more training before I can let them in." Kakarot flicked through the files again and passed Vegeta the 2 he was considering not allowing to join this time.
"Why do you say that, their profiles look very good?" Vegeta asked a little puzzled.
"Well I thought the same when I read it to, but once I got them in the arena they were knocked down easier then I had expected, they may be the toughest in there respected villages but this is the Capital, I may recommend they do 1 more year hard training and if they meet my expectations then they can join, if not I will give them Jarl protection duties."
"Well it looks like I picked right in asking you to be my personal body guard them, you are suited to having all these bodies under you."
"But I'm only interested in having one body under me." Kakarot laughed as he grabbed onto Vegeta and sat him on his lap so he was straddling Kakarot.
"Well technically you're under me now." Vegeta laughed.
"Well we can certainly change that later." Kakarot grinned. "So no more talk about work, we have something very special to celebrate tonight."
"Oh really and what would that be?" Vegeta laughed as Kakarot pulled at his spandex top.
"Seriously you don't remember." Kakarot sighed as he stopped his assault and looked at Vegeta sadly. Vegeta blinked a few times and tried to extra quickly remember what today was.
"Well it's neither of our birthdays…" Vegeta half smiled as he felt cold sweats running down his back. "I'm… I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter." Kakarot huffed as he sat back in his seat and let his hold on Vegeta go.
"Oh come on Kakarot, don't be like that, I said I was sorry." Vegeta pouted
"It's alright, I just thought you would remember our anniversary by now that's all. You forget every year so I don't know why I thought this year would be different." Kakarot closed his eyes and huffed; he felt Vegeta get off his lap and heard him walk away. 'I really don't know why I expect him to remember, I'm the one who gets hurt when he forgets.'
"Oi" Vegeta laughed as he returned and sat back on Kakarot's lap. "Open your eyes idiot." Kakarot did as he was told and almost died when he came face to face with a small present in Vegeta's hands. "Did you really think I would forget?" Vegeta laughed 'Thank GOD I brought this a few months ago, I knew it was soon but I didn't think it was today! I'm gonna have to put this down in my scouter.' Vegeta thought as he saw how happy Kakarot was now.
"I seriously thought you forgot again." Kakarot laughed.
"Of course not" Vegeta lied "I've been thinking about what to get you for ages." Kakarot accepted the present smiling widely.
"Do you like it?" Vegeta asked worried as he saw Kakarot hadn't moved or spoken since opening the box. "If you don't like it you can just say." Vegeta huffed.
"I love it." Kakarot whispered as he pulled out the silver titanium ring out of the box.
"Thank God, I was worried then. I learnt about an Earth tradition which sounded very interesting to me."
"Oh and what's that?" Kakarot asked unable to tare his eyes away from the ring.
"It's a custom called marriage, it's similar to Sayian mating but on Earth when 2 people have been together for a while one normally askes the other to 'marry them' and they promise to love each other and be together. I know we can't mate with each other, but no one else knows about this 'marriage' custom other then you and me, you could wear the ring and no one would question it at all." Vegeta smiled as he saw tears well up in his lover's eyes.
"Kakarot, I love you and if I can't mate you I would be honoured if you would marry me."
"Idiot of course I will." Kakarot cried as he threw his arms around Vegeta's waist and cried into his chest over joyed.
"God that was scarier than I thought it would be." Vegeta laughed as he hugged Kakarot and tried to calm him down.
"Why was it scary?" Kakarot sniffed
"Well I had a horrible fear you were going to say no." Vegeta laughed and took the ring from Kakarot. "Now you just wear this on your left hand on this finger and there we have it."
"What about you, do you get a ring?" Kakarot asked worried
"Well I do have an exact copy of the ring I gave you, I measured it for my finger thinking it would fit you, but after your final growth I had to get that one." Vegeta explained as he went and found the smaller ring and gave it to Kakarot to examine.
"Waw it's exactly the same." Kakarot smiled. "So will you Vegeta do me the honour of marrying me?"
"I don't think you have to ask to." Vegeta laughed but nodded anyway and let Kakarot put the ring on his finger.
"So that's how earthlings get married?" Kakarot asked as he wound his arms around Vegeta's waist and nipped at his neck.
"Well as far as I know it is. I think there is more to it, something about a church whatever one of those is, but other than that it's all the same." Vegeta lent to kiss Kakarot but was stopped before he reached his lips.
"I need to give you your present, but thinking about it now it's nowhere near as good as your present was." Kakarot blushed.
"It's fine, I'm sure I will still like it." Vegeta laughed but was again denied a kiss.
"Fine it's in the bathroom." Kakarot blushed as he watched Vegeta walk over and open the bathroom door.
"Seriously Kakarot, have you become a women?" Vegeta teased as he made his way back over to the sofa and grabbed Kakarot's hand.
"Shut up, what do you get a Prince who has everything anyway?" Kakarot huffed as he allowed Vegeta to pull him off the sofa and over towards the bathroom.
"I'm just teasing, I like it, has a relaxing look to it." Vegeta smiled as he peeled away Kakarot's spandex top. "Red rose petals, candles and a bath… what more could a Prince ask for."
