Chapter 5: Talking.

The silence was broken by a moan from Piccolo as he fell, consciousness slipping.

Vegeta who was standing right besides the falling Namek caught him before he hit the floor.

"Unconscious!" the saiyan prince stated, sounding almost caring.

'Vegeta is acting strangely, he actually cares, maybe...there IS something between them...!!"

Gohan sighed and said "I knew he wasn't strong enough to stand and tell us what happened yet, that stupid, stubborn, proud, arrogant..." he trailed of as he put his hand to Piccolos forehead.

He quickly drew back his hand. "Shit he's burning up"

Goku walked over and picked up the Namek from Vegetas arms and carried him gently towards the door, "we need to get him to bed" he said and walked out the door and down to Piccolos room.

The others quickly followed.

Goku put Piccolo on bed and made sure he was comfortable then he stood up and walked to the others.

"So what do we do now?" Goten asked his gaze fixed on the sick Namekian.

Nobody answered..........................

"The problem is that we can't give him any medicine because we don't know if his body can handle it...we've know him for so long and we know absolutely nothing about him" Gohan said sounding angry, not at Piccolo but at himself.

"We-" Krillin started but was cut of by Vegeta: "He can handle it"

"What the medicine or going without the medicine?" Goku asked, forever confused.

Vegeta glared and growled: "both...if his body can handle deadly blows from aliens it can handle some human medicine and a little human fever!"

Then he walked tout the door, but a little while after he was stopped in his path by Gohan.

"What do you want, you brat?"

"Can't you at least pretend to care about what happens to Piccolo, or is that to much to...-" He didn't get any further 'cause in that moment he was thrown roughly against the wall.

Vegeta looked absolutely furious, and his voice was dangerously low as he answered the teen.

"I don't have to PRETEND 'cause I already care, I care a lot more then any of those idiots in there" he said, pointing to the room where the Namek was lying.

A smile began to spread across the young saiyans face as he voiced what he had been thinking since the found Piccolo on the ground...with Vegeta holding him.

"You're in love!!!" Vegetas eyes widened at this "So it is true, you're in love with Piccolo, I can't believe it...sure I had it in my thoughts since we found you, but I didn't actually believe it!!"

Vegeta didn't say anything he just took a few steps back and leaned against the other wall.

"There is something between you" Gohan repeated, mostly to himself.

"There is nothing between us except one night...sadly" Vegeta made sure to whisper the last part.

But Gohan heard.

"He has that effect on you doesn't he?" the teen saw Vegetas confused and quickly explained "I mean he has this personality that just catches you and when you saw a little bit of his mind you just have to try to solve the mystery that's him."

Vegeta smirked and gave in: "Yeah...he has...When we were together that night I felt whole...but I..." he trailed of 'What the hell am I doing, I'm opening up to Gokus brat'

"It's okay you can tell me, I won't tell anybody, it will stay between us!"

Vegeta lowered his head, he looked troubled.

'He could help me...he knows Piccolo better then anyone..." the saiyan prince thought and then made up his mind.

"...OK I'll tell you..." He then looked up, smirking "But I'm not telling you any details, those are going to stay between the Namek and me."

Gohan reddened and yelled "I don't want any of your details". Vegeta just laughed.

"Well I'm glad you're enjoying yourself" the teen mumbled.

The prince took a deep breath and began walking down the hall towards his room, motioning for Gohan to follow.

Once in the room, Vegeta threw himself on the bed and Gohan sat down in a chair nearby.

Then there was silence.

"You were saying something before" Gohan pointed out and made himself more comfortable in the chair he was sitting in.

"Oh...Yeah...well I felt whole and it felt right, but then the morning after everything got so complicated and I ended it...then when I saw him later that day, when we were all together about to enter the spaceship" I was just filled with longing...I should never have gone."

"Is that the only time you guys...I mean did you ever tried talking to him about it?" Gohan asked.

Vegeta sweatdropped "Uh...not exactly talked...more like kissed him unexpectedly, when we passed in the hallway".

Gohan sighed "That is not exactly the best way to make Piccolo forgive and forget"

Vegeta smiled sadly "Yeah I noticed!"

Then out of the blue Gohan asked Vegeta a question that changed the whole situation.

"Do you love him?"

The prince turned his head and looked at the saiya-jin teen then answered.

"......Yeah......I think so....."

Gohan got up from his chair and walked towards the door "Then I will give you an advice: talk to him, explain him everything" he said looking Vegeta directly in to the eyes.

The prince nodded, and Gohan turned around again.

"Oh yeah and Vegeta...If you hurt him I'll personally make sure you'll regret it...he is like a second father to me and I care for him...do I make yourself clear? Good" then he walked out the door.
