o-o-o-o-o

Vegeta walked away from the party, and was pleased to hear Piccolo's soft footsteps behind him. A secret smile graced his lips, and he put his hands in his pockets, kicking a stone in front of him. He was still frustrated as to why the Namek was having such a strange effect on him, but for the time being, he chose to ignore it.

Piccolo stalked silently behind the Prince, watching him closely. His eyes once more travelled up and down the body in front of him on their own accord, but Piccolo found he didn't mind. He had never noticed the way Vegeta's hips swung in a feminine manner, or that Vegeta just naturally had a slightly feminine body, curves and all. He chuckled softly. He had no clue why that struck him as funny, but it did.

Vegeta looked over his shoulder at the green man.

"Are you going to play shadow all night, or are you going to talk to me?" He asked sarcastically.

Piccolo took an extra stride and began to walk next to the Saiyan. Vegeta had no idea where his feet were taking him, but the pair soon found themselves at the Lake once more.

Vegeta came to a halt at the bank and sat down, glancing up briefly when Piccolo sat down next to him. The Saiyan Prince pulled his knees up to his chest and stared out across the water.

"I'm glad it's quiet out here. I couldn't take much more of that." He said, half-talking to Piccolo, half-talking to himself.

Piccolo nodded, and leaned back, resting on his side. He picked absentmindedly at the grass whilst thinking of something to say.

"The moon… It's beautiful isn't it?" Vegeta's soft voice met Piccolo's ears, causing him to look up. His eyes widened slightly.

Vegeta was gazing up at the moon with a calm expression, completely oblivious to anything else but the white sphere in the sky. His eyes shone bright in the moon's soft light, and Piccolo observed, for the first time, that Vegeta's eyes weren't actually black, but an extremely dark shade of grey. It was the most regal image the Namek had ever seen.

"I didn't get to see it very often as a child, because of what it does to Saiyans. Of all the moons I've seen, I must say that Earth's moon is the most beautiful."

The Namek couldn't stop himself from staring, even when Vegeta turned his head partially and raised an eyebrow.

"Problem?" He asked.

Piccolo blinked a few times before returning his attention to the grass.

"The moon is beautiful, yes." He commented before sitting up and dusting his hands off. For a moment, they sat in silence, watching the wind create gentle waves on the lake, rippling the image of the moon, making it seem alive. Vegeta sighed.

"Namek, why do we continue to associate ourselves with idiots?" He looked at the green alien.

Piccolo sighed as well. "I haven't the slightest idea. Maybe because our biggest rival is one of the biggest idiots?" Vegeta nodded.

"True."

Another long silence ensued.

"I don't quite consider Kakarrot a friend, but I suppose he's not my enemy anymore either." Vegeta broke the silence. He glimpsed at the Namek, and noticed he was sitting in a lotus position, eyes shut, brow slightly creased. For the second time that night, Vegeta just stared at the giant alien.

He had never really looked at the Namek closely, but now that they had nothing better to do than just stare at each other back and forth, that's exactly what he did. Piccolo's height wasn't the only thing that really made Vegeta feel small. The man was all-around a giant. With a broad chest, broader shoulders, and approximately size 14 feet, the Namek was nothing to shake a stick at.

Being as quiet as possible, Vegeta scooted forward to get a good look at Piccolo's face. He held back a chuckle, not wanting Piccolo to wake from his trance. When he was sitting like this, Piccolo's features looked very feline-like, making him look like a green cat, which was a weird addition to his already bizarre appearance.

Vegeta's eyes shifted up and his attention was caught by the appendages on top of the Namek's head. Vegeta had always associated antennae with bugs, but he didn't think Piccolo looked like a bug at all. His eyes then looked at Piccolo's large ears. They reminded him of some of the characters in Trunks' favorite movie, Lord of the Rings. He bit his lip gently against a weird thought that intruded his mind. He got the random urge to touch them… He snorted. He wouldn't dare go that far.

Distraught, he sat back in the grass and sighed.

"Find what you were looking for?" Piccolo's deep voice made the small Prince jump.

"Excuse me?" He asked, heart racing in his chest.

Piccolo's eyes opened and focused on him. "You were looking at me for quite some time." Vegeta felt his face heat up.

'He was aware of it the whole time? Shit…' He thought.

"I… I don't know what you're talking about, Namek." He snapped. He glared into the water, scaring some fish that ventured too close. Piccolo's chuckle caused Vegeta's already-red cheeks to deepen in color.

"I wouldn't touch them if I were you." Piccolo said quietly with another chuckle. Vegeta looked at him out the corner of his eye.

"What?"

Piccolo motioned to his ears. "I said I wouldn't touch them if I were you. They're sensitive."

Vegeta thought of how funny it would be to get the Namek at a disadvantage. A devilish smile split his face.

"Oh really…"

Piccolo looked a little panicked as he leaned away from the grinning Saiyan. "Vegeta, seriously I wouldn't—"

He yelped as Vegeta lunged at him, knocking him on his back.

"Vegeta really! Don't!" He insisted. Vegeta sat on his ribs, grinning madly.

"Afraid to be overpowered?" He laughed.

'You could say that…' The Namek thought worriedly. Piccolo grabbed the Prince around the waist and attempted to throw him off, but Vegeta tightened his legs, making it difficult. Vegeta continued to smile at the green man beneath him, when a startling thought hit him.

His heart pounded in his chest, and he had his hands twisted in Piccolo's gi. He stared down at Piccolo, who in turn was staring back at him. His breathing had increased slightly, and there was a gentle hint of purple in his cheeks. To his astonishment, the Namek almost looked turned on by the Prince sitting on him.

In truth, Piccolo was turned on. He prayed silently that Vegeta would forget about what he said and get off of him, for the sake of both of them.

Vegeta swallowed hard as he realized that, for some odd reason, seeing the Namek look at him like that, his jeans were starting to feel a little too tight. He hoped Piccolo didn't notice. The blush returned to his cheeks as he leaned forward, inches from the suffering Namek's face.

Piccolo's mind was racing.

'No, no, no, Vegeta, please…' He pleaded mutely. Vegeta's eyes shifted to look at Piccolo's ears, and this time he could not stop himself. He leaned forward further and flicked his tongue across the shell of Piccolo's ear.

He felt Piccolo stiffen beneath him. The grip on his waist tightened ever so slightly. Vegeta's breath hitched as he licked the sensitive skin again, stopping to gently take the green earlobe in his mouth. Piccolo grunted and bit his lip so hard that it began to bleed.

'No, Vegeta…' Piccolo willed quietly. He squeezed his eyes shut. Vegeta lightly wrapped one slender hand around Piccolo's neck, and began to suck gently on the green earlobe. Piccolo couldn't stop the quiet moan from leaving his lips. Vegeta's heartbeat sped up.

As Vegeta continued to suck on Piccolo's ear, Piccolo heard something that caused him to open his eyes. A strange, low vibrating sound came from the Prince atop him.

'Is Vegeta… purring?'

Yes, Vegeta was indeed purring happily. Piccolo smiled softly. 'He sounds like a kitten.' Another moan cut loose when Vegeta sucked harder.

Suddenly, the wonderful feelings halted, and Piccolo almost protested, but the look on Vegeta's face stopped him. Vegeta was gazing down at him with half-closed eyes, a bright blush spread across his face. He was breathing a little harder than usual as he stared down at the Namek below him, whose expression mirrored his own.

Piccolo was helpless to do anything as Vegeta leaned in close to his face again, their lips barely touching. All at once, a voice cut through their personal bubble of sensuality.

"Vegeta! Piccolo? Hey guys, where'd you go?"

Vegeta's head snapped up, and he glanced around him. Another sound came from deep inside the Saiyan's throat, but this time it was one of anger. It sounded almost like a harsh growl.

"Kakarrot…" He hissed. Piccolo said nothing, only gazed at the man still straddling his rib cage.

Vegeta looked back down at the Namek with an almost apologetic expression. Piccolo yelped when Vegeta latched onto his ear one last time, nibbling it slightly before crawling off. Piccolo sat up, still clearly shook up. A smirk crossed Vegeta's face, making him look very pleased with himself.

Goku touched down behind them. "Found you! Hey what's your deal?" He asked the two blushing warriors sitting breathing hard on the ground. Piccolo answered, keeping his composure calm.

"We were sparring."

Goku put his fists on his hips. "Jeezus, you guys are training freaks. You couldn't take a break?" Vegeta stood up, now that his nether regions had calmed down, and brushed himself off, snarling.

"For God's sake, Kakarrot, you sound like Bulma."

Goku laughed. "Sorry. Actually, she's looking for you, Vegeta. I think she's ready to leave." Piccolo stood up as well, avoiding Vegeta's gaze purposely. Vegeta grumbled.

"I'll be there shortly."

Goku nodded, and after smiling his classic grin, blasted off into the sky.

Piccolo and Vegeta began to walk back to Goku's house. A chuckle from Vegeta caused Piccolo to look at him, raising an eyeridge. That devious smirk crossed Vegeta's face again. Piccolo could almost go as far to say that it was sexy.

"Sensitive, indeed." Vegeta all but purred. Before Piccolo could respond, Vegeta leapt up and kissed his ear and licked it from bottom to top, earning a cry of surprise from the Namek. He took off at a run that turned into a quick blast into the sky, laughing, with Piccolo hot on his trail. They raced all the way back to the Son's house.
