Chapter 7: What a Headache

Goku/Vegeta

AN: I know that the last chapter left on a very sad note… Sadly enough we aren't out of the woods yet with the sadness factor… Maybe soon… but not yet, so bear with me my lovelies it will get better I promise

Plus now with winter break started I will have lots of time to focus on this story! (Even some of my other incomplete stories if you think I should continue them)

Happy Reading!

Over the course of the next few weeks Vegeta trained nonstop. He couldn't stop thinking about all the things that Goku had said to him, they fueled his anger in his training. There was no way that they were meant to be together. He was an idiot.. A soft hearted saiyan that only knew his stomach and his own stupidity. There was no way that he was the only person in the universe that was meant for him. But at the same time… in his heart he knew it was true. Which was why his heart was yearning for him to go back to the taller Saiyan. But there was no way his pride would allow him to give in to his instincts and submit to that idiot. No… He was going to have to come here and beg for it.

He hoped that he could last long enough for that to happen.. But his patience was wearing extremely thin. He could feel himself weakening because of the bond that he had created between the two of them… that damned idiot… Vegeta sighed and decided to call it a day with the training. As he walked past the kitchen he looked over and sighed, seeing his son and wife at the table. He couldn't look at them anymore after what he did. he has been avoiding them like the plague. He didn't want to be near them, he didn't want to be around anyone except for Goku. Vegeta sighs in frustration as he heads to his room, locking the door. He didn't know what to do here… He wanted to go to the younger Saiyan and never leave.

There was a knock on the door and he inwardly groaned as he sighed. "What do you want?" Vegeta asks as his arms cross over his chest. He didn't want to deal with people right now.

"Vegeta… We need to talk.' Bulma says through the door. Vegeta just rolls his eyes and sighs.

"There's nothing to talk about.. just go away." He says

"Come on Vegeta… This is important." She says in a soft voice. Vegeta sighs and shakes his head, knowing that if he didn't get the door then she would just keep pestering him until he did. He might as well give in now. He goes to the door and opens it. Bulma was standing there with a small smile on her face. "Good… that was easier than I thought." She says as she comes in and shuts the door behind her. "We need to talk… about Goku." She says. Vegeta fought the urge to roll his eyes. He should've known that that was what she wanted to talk about.

"What about him?" He asks, trying to not sound interested in the idiot.

"Gohan and Goten come over here all the time, they tell me that he's not training, not eating, not doing anything. He just lays in his house all day, with this blank stare, like he's...like he's died on the inside. When he's not on the couch staring blankly into space he's sleeping… they said he's sleeping about eighteen hours in a day. Will you please go and talk to him? He's getting sick from the lack of training and food. He refuses to do any of it even if his sons tell him to .. Maybe you could get him to eat? Maybe spar with him or something? Please Vegeta. I know some part of you has to care enough about him to help him." Vegeta sighed and closed his eyes. He knew all too well how Goku was doing. He felt it in his very being, he even wanted to stop eating and training and just lay around all day wallowing in his own self pity. But he knew better, he knew the consequences of it, he would go insane...not that he already had not' from not being around him.

"Vegeta… Please.." Bulma says after a while of him not answering her. "Look… I know that you and I aren't on the greatest terms in our relationship… And I also know how much Goku means to you even if you won't' admit it." She says sighing. "These last few weeks I've seen you turn back into your old self… The self that you were when you first got here. I also know that you haven't seen Goku since then either. I don't know what's going on, and if there is please don't tell me. But I know that he must be a pretty special person to change you like this… Go to him. We can talk about the details later. I just want you to be happy." Bulma says smiling a little.

Vegeta felt himself on the verge of tears. She was giving him permission to leave his family and go start a new one with that big idiot… Even though she didn't exactly know what she was agreeing to. He sighs and looks away as the tears rolled down his face. "It's not as easy as you think it is woman… I… We had a huge fight… I know that this is my fault but I just… I can't go back." He says.

Bulma rolled her eyes and sighed. "Will you push your damned pride to the side for just long enough to go to him and see how much he needs you. How much you need each other. If i didn't know any better I'd say it was like you two were… soulmates or something." She says as she looks at him, hearing him chuckle softly. Her eyes widen a little as she looks at him. "So… you are aren't' you?" She asks him. All Vegeta could do was nod, unable to speak as he felt himself get weak… He had been having these random spurts where his ki would drop slightly, leaving him out of breath for a couple of minutes until it came back up again.

This time it dropped too low for him to catch himself. He fell to the floor and everything went black.

Goku loved his sons to death. But sometimes he wished that they would just leave him alone. On the bright side, they haven't told Chichi anything about what was going on between him and Vegeta. He hated hiding things from her, but at this point it didn't really matter anyway. She would come over every once in awhile and pretend like nothing happened between them. She just acted like he didn't try and strangle her that one day in the kitchen. It was extremely annoying when she did this. He didn't want her around at all, he just wanted her to stay away from him the rest of his life. Today Gohan was with him, they were just watching television. Goku decided that it was time to take another nap… At least in his dreams Vegeta wanted to be with him.

Gohan looked over at his dad, seeing that he fell asleep once again. He sighs and runs a hand through his hair before he places a blanket over him. He didn't know what he was going to do with his dad. He loved him to death, but this was getting crazy. He had to start eating or he was going to suffer severe consequences. Suddenly he felt a drop in someone's ki… it was odd because that usually never happened, especially if it was that quickly. He looked over and saw his dad still asleep. He probably wouldn't move from that position for a while, so he decided to go and check on what was going on.

Gohan appeared at Capsule Corp, not bothering to knock on the door, he hurried to the source of the ki drop. His eyes widen as he sees Bulma standing there in shock and Vegeta on the floor, out cold.

"I I don't know what happened… He just… passed out." Bulma says to him shaking. Gohan nods and picks Vegeta up and looks at her. He needed to get to the bottom of this, but maybe this wasn't the best place to do it. There was something funny going on with Vegeta's ki and he knew that Bulma wasn't going to be able to help with this.

"I'll take him to my place and hopefully get this straightened out. Don't worry Bulma he's going to be okay." Gohan says as he smiles softly. He wished he knew the instant transmission technique like his dad, but flying would just have to do. As soon as they got to his place he laid Vegeta down on the bed and assessed him. He didn't really know what was going on with his ki, but he felt something inside of him...like there was another ki inside of him. He felt around and his eyes widened as he was met with another ki in Vegeta's stomach region. His senses must be doing some weird stuff… why would there be a ki in Vegeta's stomach?

Suddenly Vegeta woke up, he nearly jumped off of the bed. "Where the hell am I?"

Gohan looks at him "You're at my place. I felt your ki disappear, so I went to check on you. I saw that Bulma had no clue what to do so I brought you here with me." He says looking at Vegeta. "I'm not sure what's going on with you though, your ki seems to be completely back to normal… but there is still that small amount of ki in your stomach." He says. "Were you so mad at dad you decided to eat something alive?" He asks chuckling at Vegeta, trying to make the mood lighter.

Vegeta just rolled his eyes and sighed as he looked at Gohan. "What all has your father told you." He asks him. He didn't want to go into any details of anything before he knew what the brat knew.

Gohan smiles a little "As far as I know… Everything. The dreams, going to hell, mating with you." He says looking at Vegeta. "Why did you run away from him? You know that he would take good care of you. Not only that… He's not eating, training… anything Vegeta. You have to go back to him and fix this please." He says looking at him. He was on the verge of tears, he loved his dad. He hated to see him in such a bad place.

Vegeta sighs and looks at Gohan. "As much as I would love to… I just… I don't think I can. It's not that I don't believe he can't take care of me… I just… I really don't know what it is. Maybe the fact that these dreams have connected us somehow… I've been searching my whole life for this… it just seems so anticlimactic you know? He says to him. "I know you might not think of me as a person that has hopes and dreams… but my hope and dream is to have a life with your father. But so many things have gotten in the way I'm afraid that it would never work out now. If I would've found him before he married your mother… maybe things would be different." He says closing his eyes, feeling his ki fluctuate again.

Gohan looks down at him and sighs, forcing him to lay down once again. "It would be a lot different… but it isn't Vegeta. This is how it's going to be, you can't stop it now… You should see how sick he's getting.." Gohan says as he looks at Vegeta. "You're not doing too well yourself mister." He says as he puts his hand on his forehead, he was running a fever. "You're staying here until you feel better… Or until dad comes and finds you." He says chuckling softly

Vegeta sighs. He knew he didn't really have a choice in the matter. Gohan was as stubborn as his father. Well at least he was going to get taken care of.

But for how long? When was Goku going to come and find him finally. He didn't really want to think about it for much longer, the thought depressed him. He decided that he should get some sleep instead. At least his dreams could give him some peace.
