Lonely Hearts
Part Two - Self-Denial and the Saiya-jin no Ouji

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When Jianu returned to Capsule Corp, the sounds of intensive training could be heard coming from the gravity room. Jianu shook her head, 'Still fighting your heart, ne?' she thought sadly. 'Ma iika, it's a good thing Goku-sama's not doing the same or you'd never get together.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inside the gravity room Vegeta was putting himself through a grueling routine. He was trying to focus on his actions but his mind kept wandering. Something had changed in the last few months that was driving him crazy. And that something had to do with Kakarott. For some reason he was finding it increasingly hard to suppress his instincts when he was around the other saiya-jin. Much to his dismay, Vegeta had caught himself watching Goku when he wasn't paying attention (and thought he'd never admit it) admiring Goku's build and handsome features. Vegeta snarled. He was the saiya-jin no ouji! He couldn't possibly be attracted to the third class bakayaro! No way, no how. Not now, not ever. No.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next afternoon . . .

Vegeta breathed slowly in and out, trying to regain his composure and control. He'd been forced to cut this match short, before he embarrassed himself. He had gone to Kakarott's home and the two had engaged in what Vegeta thought would be a normal sparing session. Much to his frustration, surprise, and embarrassment, Kakarott had been arousing him by accident. As they had fought, Vegeta had felt the other saiya-jin's hand slide across his rear and tail several times and even felt Goku's tail brush his thigh a few times. Whenever this would happen Vegeta saw no sign of Kakarott even noticing what he'd done. So the touches had to be accidental! Didn't they? 'Or do you want them to be real?' Vegeta's inner voice asked him. Vegeta stopped mid-flight, reality smacking him in the face. "Chikusho!!!" his voice screamed in a mixture of fury and defeat. After weeks of lying to himself, he could no longer deny the truth. He, Vegeta the saiya-jin no ouji, was in love with Kakarott. Vegeta hung his head sadly, he could never let Kakarott know. Even if he could overcome his pride, 'He deserves someone better than me. Someone who isn't soaked in the blood of countless innocents.' Slow tears trickled down his face as he continued home. To protect Goku, Vegeta promised himself he would never tell Kakarott how he felt. No matter how much it hurt.
