Vegeta took in a few hard breaths, his shoulders slumped and his elbows resting on his bent knees. The leggings of his training suit were pretty much torn away from the thighs down, and his shirt had been ripped of long ago. His gloves were slightly smudged with blood and his white boots were covered in dirt.

Vegeta sat under a tree in a small clearing of the woods on Mount. Paozu. The seasoned warrior sighed and let his head back to rest against the hard wood of the tree. His eyes were closed almost peacefully, despite the shape he was in.

It was almost completely silent. Vegeta loved the silence; after the ruthless battle between he and Kakarot, almost every part of his body ached and throbbed.

The chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves slowly lulled the tired man to sleep with every content yawn that came from his lips.

~~~~~~~~

" Hey..Vegeta, wake up! "

" Huh..? " Let out Vegeta, his eyes suddenly springing open as he felt someone shaking his shoulder. Ofcourse it was Kakarot.

The younger man wore a white T-shirt and old, hugging blue-jeans. Goku had been as beaten up as Vegeta, if not worse, but he had flown home to go get water and a change of clothes. Vegeta found the other male beautiful in the shade of the forest around them. Vegeta felt a peculiar warmth in his chest when Kakarot suddenly smiled warmly at him.

" You're cute when you sleep." Goku said, plopping down beside Vegeta. Vegeta blushed suddenly, but decided to disregard the compliment. " Pfft."

Goku chuckled to himself and tossed the water bottle sideways to Vegeta. Vegeta caught it and twisted off the cap. He brought the bottle to his lips and started to drink hungrily from it.

Goku watched him with amusement while Vegeta drank almost the whole bottle. When Vegeta had finally had his fill, He put the cap back on and handed it back to Goku.

Goku reached out to take the bottle. As he did so, he purposely let his fingers linger among the prince's. Vegeta's head snapped up, a look of surprise on his face at what Kakarot had just done. It was such a stupid, simple little gesture, yet it meant so much.

Their eyes locked for an awkward moment, Vegeta looking surprised and Goku's face full of emotions, his cheeks a girlish pink.

" Vegeta, I really--"

Unfortunately before he could finish his very, very, very important sentence, Vegeta snatched his hand quickly away, making the water bottle clatter down against the ground, spilling almost the rest of its contents.

Goku quickly tried to get a hold of himself and spun his head away opposite of Vegeta, mortally embarrassed with himself.

// Pull yourself together! How could you ever think Vegeta could ever have feelings for you?? Of all people??//

A few minutes of silence passed between them, Goku shifting uncomfortably, but Vegeta barely moved.

// Probably so shocked…// Thought Goku sadly.

Goku reached out and picked up the water bottle and dusted it off shyly.

He mustered up enough courage. " I'm sorry, Vegeta. I… I didn't mean to. I just---"

" Whatever. I don't care." Vegeta said, his head still turned in the opposite direction and his arms losely crossed. Goku was relieved that Vegeta didn't care…but part of him wanted him to. Part of him needed Vegeta to ask questions sometimes..

// humph… I'm thinking like we're already some kind of couple..//

Goku still didn't understand why Vegeta avoided him like the plague nowadays; It was only recently that Vegeta had started getting edgy with him.

Back then when they were younger, their lives were so full of excitement. Side-by-side they always were. Goku and Vegeta had shared things together not many people share in a life time.

Goku had burried Vegeta when he was killed by Freeza; he got the honors of giving the prince his last words; Vegeta had cried in front of him more than once, and often times opened his heart to him more than he had ever done with Bulma. He had let Goku inside his head and know the hurt and suffering he'd gone through for years.

But now their lives were peaceful and un-eventful; all they had to do was train and hang out and live their lives to the fullest now; there were no more dragon balls; no more chances for evil doings, so what were a couple of saiyajins to do???

Goku had, many many times, wondered what it would be like to be intimate with Vegeta. Even the thought got him flushing and jumbling his words; to touch Vegeta where no one was allowed to, and to kiss him. To let Vegeta know the joys of feeling skin against skin, and to hear Vegeta scream be--

// Whoah! Settle down, Goku--- you're going to give yourself a heart attack!! //

" Why is your face red?" Goku suddenly heard Vegeta's rough, manly voice say to him.

" What?? Me?"

" Hell yes! Who the hell else!?"

" Oh--err..nothing.."

" Baka.."

There was a few more moments of silence. Goku wanted desperately to talk to Vegeta. He envied Vegeta so much; he was so handsome and stoic and intelligent.

// Kami! I've really got it bad for him! //

He tried to think of a subject that wouldn't make Vegeta yell at him again. Something that happened to himself.. Really not much was happening with himself.

" Hey… Vegeta?"

" Hmm?" Vegeta asked, turning his head to look at Goku.

Goku tried starting innocent conversation with the ouji. Maybe to get Vegeta's mind off of the very awkward thing that had just happened.

Goku forced a smile. " Did you know that Paresu and Goten are getting married?"

Vegeta looked a little surprised at this. " Really?"

Goku smiled. It worked! Maybe he could have a decent conversation with Vegeta.

" Yup, and guess what!"

" What?"

" Paresu is 3 months pregnant!"

Vegeta couldn't help but be even more surprised at this news. All of this time, he had thought that his daughter and Kakarot's son would get together; they were both flighty shopaholics. They had many things in common, they were both good looking; Plus, really the real reason he wanted Goten and Bura together was so they could help the saiyan race.

Bura had many times confided in him and her mother about how she had feelings for Goten, but either he was too old for her or he had a girlfriend. At times she'd even come home crying if she'd see the boy out with another one of his flighty girlfriends. Vegeta never thought it was possible for the boy to go steady with someone, not to mention marrying them and having a child.

Personally, he thought his daughter deserved so much better; his princess should have a prince, no some lowly, degrading third class baka, who happens to be the spawn of another certain third class baka whom shall not be named.

Vegeta suddenly felt sorry for his poor daughter. She was probably heart broken by now; he hadn't spoken to her in a few weeks, due to her moving out of the house.

Vegeta glanced at Goku, who was beaming, probably waiting for a reaction from Vegeta. Unfortunately, all the third class got was a looks of disgust.

"..What??" Goku let out. " Aren't you happy for them??"

" No I'm not!" Vegeta exclaimed, " Your fucking brat is ruining my daughter's life!"

Goku looked utterly clueless. He had no idea that Bura was inlove with Goten. He hadn't expected Vegeta to be thrilled-- but he didn't exactly expect him to blow up like this. It hurt to think that Vegeta hated his son's decision.

" Look, you're blowing this all out of proportion! " Said Goku, raising his voice. He almost never did around Vegeta at all.

" Your brat doesn't know what he's doing! Don't you get it?? Bura's wanted to mate with your fucking offspring since she met him when she was 6 years old! Though I don't know why! You should talk some sense into that imbecile son of yours!"

Goku was silenced. He couldn't believe what Vegeta was saying to him-- how could he??

" Vegeta, you don't mean that, do you..?" Asked Goku quietly.

Vegeta merely spat on the ground and got up abruptly. " I'm through with this shit! And I'm through with you! " Vegeta said. Ki surrounded him, and before Goku knew it, he had blasted off, probably towards Capsule Corperation.

Goku stared blankly after him, speechless. He had no idea Vegeta felt so strongly about his daughter's happiness; though in his heart he knew that Vegeta was only making a big deal out of it for his own personal gain. Like always..

But he couldn't change Vegeta, no matter how mean or nasty he acted towards him. He couldn't change the fact that he loved him.
