Woah, look how long it took me to update. I'm going to die slowly aren't I? Don't worry though, next update won't take as long. :3 This chapter I'm giving to TamyTheAnimeLover for being such a fan. :D
I'm not going to say much more other than this:
Please enjoy.
Goku watched as Vegeta slept on his bed, his hand slowly reaching out to stroke Vegeta's cheek. He sighed and stood up. They had decided earlier to come over here, with Goten and Trunks. Since it had been raining, he IT'd everyone. He remembered asking Gohan if he and Piccolo wanted to come, but that had been turned down.
Goku walked out into the hallway and noticed something, it was almost too silent in the house, no TV going, no bickering, nothing but silence…
That was a little off, considering Goten and Trunks were there also. He decided to go see what the boys were up to.
Goku listened through Goten's door, he couldn't really hear much. Quietly, he opened the door and stopped short of what he saw. Sitting there on Goten's bed was Goten, in Trunk's lap, kissing each other.
Goku laughed when the two noticed him and looked like deer caught in headlights. Their faces lit up bright red; they scrambled away from the other and stammered,
"We were just…uh…"
"I can explain, um…"
After a moment of awkwardness, Goku's smiled and laughed again, "We'll talk later, Goten."
Goten nodded and waited until the door was completely closed before turning to Trunks and asking, "Think we're in trouble?"
"Nah." Trunks smirked, "They can't do anything anyway."
Goku continued downstairs, bored. He stared outside as the rain poured down, he didn't really feel like talking to his son right now. He heard soft footsteps pad down the stairs after a while and looked over. Vegeta was coming down the stairs, looking well rested.
"The weather hasn't let up yet?" He asked.
"No." Goku answered.
"Want to spar anyway?"
Goku perked up, he could definitely go for a spar after all that had happened these last two days. "Are you sure you're up for it?" He asked anyway.
Vegeta nodded and headed towards the door, Kakarot following him smiling.
They didn't go far, just down to the river which waters were spilling over the banks. It wouldn't matter if they fell in anyway, they were already soaked.
"Ready?" Vegeta asked, taking a fighting stance.
The look of concentration settled onto Goku's face and he nodded.
And then they were fighting. Throwing kicks, punches, ki blasts, letting their stress and other bundled emotions out.
At one point, Vegeta was throwing a punch at Kakarot and missed his face, when Kakarot caught his arm and kissed him very briefly before smirking and they resumed fighting. It was something new about their sparing. The only thing that there was to be afraid of now was killing the other one by mistake, but with how much they had sparred in the past, this was highly unlikely.
Hours had passed before they were breathing heavily, battered and beaten. Any blood that was spilled was washed away by the light rain. The sun was settling in the distance.
Goku sat down in the grass and smiled, he felt much better now. Vegeta landed next to him but didn't speak; he just looked at the flowing river.
Goku looked up at Vegeta, smiling at his sopping hair. "'Geta?" Goku said, breaking the silence after a while.
Vegeta looked down a Kakarot and said "What?"
"Let's go back home." Goku stood up and looked down at Vegeta.
~Later that night~
"Goten! Trunks!" Goku called from in the kitchen, he and Vegeta had been talking about the two and what Goku had witnessed earlier this morning.
Goten came into the kitchen slowly, Goku could tell by the look on his face he knew what he had been called for.
"Don't be such a chum." Trunks said from behind and pushed Goten into the kitchen. The two sat down at the table.
"I'm not good with this kind of thing, not like Chi-Chi might have been. So basically…be safe." Goku smiled.
Vegeta laughed, "Kakarot you sound like an awkward parent. Look here brats," Vegeta said, "Don't do anything stupid or we'll beat you to a pulp. Got it?"
Goten nodded, wide-eyed and Trunks rolled his eyes, "Whatever." The two boys stood up and left the room, unsure of what they were referring to, but understanding.
Goku looked at Vegeta, "So what now?"
"What?" Vegeta asked.
"What do you want to do now?"
Vegeta looked at Kakarot but didn't answer him.
Goku yawned, "Well, if you don't want to do anything, then I guess I'll go to bed." Goku stood up and pushed in his chair. He took a couple steps towards the door.
"Wait." Vegeta said.
Goku stopped and turned around.
Vegeta let out a breath and stood up. He walked over to Kakarot and pulled him down by the gi, his lips connected with Kakarot's only for a brief moment. Vegeta stepped back and let go of Kakarok's gi, a small blush on his face. He looked at Kakarot for a second before walking around him and out of the room.
Trunks and Goten were in the livingroom. Trunks saw his dad come into the room and looked at him.
"Let's go boy." Vegeta said and walked over to and out the door.

Vegeta awoke the next morning to a loud, slightly muffled, beeping sound. He instantly recognized the sound as Trunk's alarm clock. He groaned hoping the boy would shut it off right away. When the alarm clock hadn't been shut off after a few minutes he decided to get out of bed and just go do it himself.
Vegeta walked out of his room and into the hallway. He saw the door to Trunk's room was open. He shook his head and walked in. Trunks was nowhere to be found in the room. He narrowed his eyes and turned off the alarm.
"Where the hell is the boy?" Vegeta asked, coming down the stairs. "He left his alarm on."
"At school." Bulma answered from the couch.
Vegeta just grunted and went back up the stairs.
"So how's Goku?" Vegeta heard Bulma shout and turned right back around, he appeared again in the entrance into the living room.
"Fine." Vegeta said.
"Are you planning on doing anything today?" Bulma asked.
"No. Just training in the GR. Why?" Vegeta looked at her.
"No reason." Bulma smiled.
Vegeta grunted and went back up the stairs. His thoughts were on Kakarot as he dressed in his training suit. Should he go over there? Or just stay here and train? He looked at himself in the mirror and frowned. He wasn't entirely sure why he frowned, just that everything looked so normal.
Why that bothered him though, he wasn't sure. Maybe it was that it could have been any other day, and he was just waiting to wake up from this dream. Though, he knew it wasn't a dream. So why did it suddenly feel like one?
He let out a breath, dismissing his thoughts and heading down to the GR.
After about three hours of intense training, Vegeta decided he'd had enough. Why the hell can't I focus? Vegeta thought as he turned off the gravity. Stupid Kakarot…distracting me… Vegeta blushed and then shook his head and growled. He was stronger, better, than this.
He rubbed his temples for a moment before opening the door, thinking he might as well go see Kakarot if that was all he could think about.
Vegeta took off into the sky, heading in the direction of Kakarot's house. As he was flying he sensed that Kakarot was off in a different direction. He headed that way and found Kakarot standing by the river, with only his boxers on, looking at the water.
"There are a lot of fish out." Goku said.
"That's because it rained." Vegeta said and landed next to Kakarot. "What are you doing?"
"Going to catch a fish." Goku said and jumped into the water as a fish was passing by.
Vegeta waited as Kakarot caught his fish.
"You wanna try?" Goku asked as he emerged with a struggling fish.
Vegeta shook his head.
Goku shrugged and put the fish down a ways away from the water and went to pick up his cloths.
Vegeta walked over to Kakarot as he picked up his cloths and smirked. Kakarot looked at him,
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing." Vegeta said. He leaned up, about to kiss Kakarot, but turned away at the last second and took a couple steps back.
"Is something wrong?" Goku asked.
Vegeta blushed, "No."
~Two days later, at Bulma's house~
Vegeta sat down on the couch and let out a breath. Why couldn't he train? He wanted to do nothing more but that. The only thing though, was that his body didn't feel like doing anything. He just wanted to sit here and do nothing. He let out an aggravated breath and was joined by Bulma.
"So how are you and Goku doing?" Bulma asked in a girly way, smiling.
Vegeta grunted, not looking at her.
Bulma's smile faded, "What's wrong?"
Vegeta sighed, "Nothing important, where's Kazuki?"
"Mom sent him to go pick up a few things. I hope he finds his way around the city okay."
"I'll be glad if he doesn't." Vegeta smirked.
Bulma glared. "He's the first Saiyan you've seen since Goku and you'd rather he didn't come back. How princely of you."
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, "Whatever. I'm going to get something to eat." He stood up and was about to walk off when Bulma said,
"Hold it right there."
Vegeta turned back around, eyes still narrowed, "What?"
"You didn't answer my first question."
"What's the point?" Vegeta said, "It's not like it's going to help any."
Bulma stood up, "You never know when a girl's intuition can help you. Now, what's the problem?"
"I told you already, nothing."
"Don't give me that crap Vegeta." Bulma glared only to receive a glare back.
"Oh, all right already! Kakarot's being an insufferable little… He makes no effort whatsoever to anything involving us unless I go to him first!"
Bulma smiled and laughed.
"I knew it! I otta blast this place to bits-"
"Hold it." Bulma said and smiled warmly at Vegeta.
Vegeta looked back at Bulma, "Ah! Don't look at me with that expression! It's freaky!"
"I was just thinking how amazing it is that after all this time, you care about a relationship."
Vegeta crossed his arms and turned his back to her as she continued.
"It just really makes me happy to finally be able to see you involved with someone you want to be. Anyway, I think you need to talk to him about it, stay over at his house again sometime."
Vegeta looked down at the ground, "Thanks." He said, "But maybe in a couple of days."
~Two days later~
Vegeta walked inside Kakarot's house, not bothering to knock. He had decided to come over after being asked by Kazuki at least five times if he wanted to go back to Vegeta-sei with him. Vegeta was getting a bit annoyed with the other Saiyan.
Vegeta saw Gohan coming down the stairs with a couple bags in his hand. "Where are you going?" Vegeta asked.
"To stay with Piccolo a few days," Gohan blushed, "I've got nothing better to do."
Vegeta smirked and nodded his head; he walked up the stairs to Kakarot's room. He opened the door and found Kakarot sitting on the bed, dressed in normal cloths like him. "You know your brat is going to stay with Piccolo?" He asked, closing the door behind him.
"Yeah, we talked about it earlier." Goku smiled, "I didn't really have a reason to tell him no."
"Hn."
"Did Goten make it off to school okay?" Goku asked.
"If you had been there this morning you would know." Vegeta said. "But yes, he did."
Goku smiled, "Thanks."
They were silent for a couple of minutes before Vegeta walked closer to Kakarot and stood in front of him. Kakarot stared up at him with an unreadable expression. He ran his hands through Kakarot's hair before leaning down.
Their lips met, lightly, tentatively at first. Vegeta pulled back to stare a Kakarot's face. They hadn't made much progress in their relationship these last days. Nothing was happening; they hardly spoke to each other. It was unnerving him.
Goku noticed Vegeta's attire and grabbed a hold of his shirt, pulling him down. Their lips met again, only this time the kiss wasn't full of uncertainty, it was full of passion.
Goku fell back onto the bed, pulling Vegeta on top of him and not breaking their kiss. He licked Vegeta's bottom lip and was immediately granted access. They explored each other's mouths, not breaking the kiss until the need for air got the better of them.
Vegeta rested his head on Kakarot's chest, his hands fisted up on his shirt. "Let's go out." He said.
"Out where?" Goku asked.
"To eat." Vegeta answered.
"Oh. Why? Don't you want to stay here and…?" Goku trailed off his sentence.
"No, I want to ask you something." Vegeta said and got up off of Kakarot.
"Can't you ask me here?" Goku asked.
"I could, but I'm also hungry."
"Alright." Goku smiled and stood up. "Where do you wanna go?"
"I don't care, Cherry's?" Vegeta suggested.
Cherry's was a nice restaurant known for their signature steakburgers.
Goku thought about it a minute before saying, "Sure."
The two took their time flying into the city, not much was said as they landed and walked amongst the crowd to the restaurant.
Once they were seated and ordered, they waited for their food.
Vegeta stared across the table at Kakarot.
"So…" Goku said, "You said you had something to ask me?"
"No, I lied and brought you out here just so you could buy me lunch." Vegeta rolled his eyes at Kakarot's expression, "Of course I have something to ask you."
"Oh, well then, what is it?"
Vegeta looked away at the other diners and said rather than asked, "I'm staying over tonight."
Goku laughed, "Is that all?"
"No, well, mostly."
"Mostly?"
Vegeta was about to respond when the waiter came and brought their meals to them.
"This looks good." Goku said and started to dig in.
Vegeta let out a breath before he started to eat too. Vegeta ate slowly, looking at Kakarot every once in a while. He really needed to ask him. He wanted to be sure, but he didn't want to ask just yet. He watched how Kakarot ate slower than normal, trying to be polite. It made him want to laugh at how it looked like it took effort.
Goku could feel Vegeta looking at him; it was making him a little self conscious. He tried focusing on eating his food not too fast as a way to distract him. This silence was bothering him a bit. He was glad when the waiter came around and refilled there drinks, it seemed to break the air a bit.
Not a word was really said until after they had finished their food and were about to pay for their meal.
"I guess we should go then." Goku said and started to get up.
"Kakarot, wait a second." Vegeta said.
"Why?" Goku asked and sat back down. He was relieved Vegeta had finally said something.
Vegeta took a breath, "I want to say something."
Goku stared at him and concentrated, waiting for Vegeta to say something. When Vegeta hadn't said anything more Goku said, "Well, what is it?"
Vegeta took another breath, "Do you like this?" He asked quietly.
"This?" Goku asked, not really understanding.
"Us, what we're doing."
Goku closed his eyes and when he opened them again he stared right into Vegeta's as he said, "Of course I do. You have no idea how much I've enjoyed this. How much I wanted this and didn't even know it."
Vegeta looked at Kakarot blankly for a moment before he smiled, actually smiled.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Gohan took a breath as he left his house and flew up into the air. He smiled happily as he zoomed across the sky.
"Aha! Yeah!" Gohan exclaimed, feeling happier than ever. He flew faster to the lookout tower.
Upon arrival Gohan landed softly on the white tiles. Mr. Popo was once again out watering the plants. "You know if you over water them they'll die." Gohan said.
"Oh yes, but up here they need a special kind of water." Mr. Popo said.
Gohan just looked at him a little funny before continuing. "Hi Piccolo." Gohan blushed as he set his bag down in the room. Piccolo was sitting on the bed watching him.
Piccolo didn't really say hi back, just looked at him and asked, "How long are you staying?"
"How long do you want me to stay?" Gohan asked and sat down next to Piccolo.
Piccolo shrugged. "Need help unpacking?"
"You can if you want…" Gohan said and looked at Piccolo. "Are you sure you want me to stay?"
Piccolo laughed and kissed Gohan briefly, he could read the boy so well. "Yeah." He said and stood up. He walked over and picked up one of Gohan's bags.
"Thanks," Gohan said and went to pick up the other one, "There are cloths in that bag, where do you want my stuff to go?"
"Cloths in this dresser, anything else can go on top or in the bathroom." Piccolo said as he walked over to the dresser. He unzipped the bag and started unpacking the cloths. Shirts in one drawer, pants in another, and undergarments in a different one.
Piccolo pulled a pair of boxers out of the bag, it wasn't the color that caught his attention; it was what was on them. He blushed and turned to look at Gohan, "Where the hell did you get these?" He asked.
Gohan's eyes went a little big and he turned red with embarrassment. "Uh…" He said intelligently.
Piccolo hurried up and put them in the drawer to avoid any other awkwardness about them, "Nevermind." He said. Even though he tried to stop thinking about them, he couldn't. All that his mind could come up with was the image of the boxers, which were red and orange with little green Piccolo's all over them.
So, how was it this time around?
The next chapter has a 75% chance of containing a lemon, it's also the leading chapter up to the next major development in this story! The next update should be more around the end of this month.
Thank you all so much for staying with me!
