Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The Gravity Room ❯ 'Geta ( Chapter 5 )

Vegeta walked down the stairs, feeling all nice and fresh after his shower. He was wearing his gray-like skinny jeans with a black shirt that had some white design on it. The woman had suggested it to him. It wasn't like he had needed her suggestion, but she seemed to want to give it anyway.

“Wow, dad,” Trunks said as he entered the living room. “I don't think I've seen you in anything else other than your training suit. Are you going somewhere?”

“Hn. Kakarot and I are going to lunch if you must know.” Vegeta said and sat down on the couch.

“It looks nice.” Trunks complemented, deciding that asking his mom why they were going to lunch would be a better idea than asking Vegeta. “I think you should wear regular cloths more often.”

“Don't get your hopes up.” Vegeta said just as there was a small scream and Bulma came running into the living room.

“Holy hell Vegeta!”

“What?” He asked.

“You didn't tell me Goku wasn't going to wear his gi!” She screamed at him.

Vegeta just looked at her, “It wasn't important.”

“Not important!” She glared at him. “I just might have to start dating him.”

“We're not fucking dating!” Vegeta yelled.

“Hey guys.” Goku said walking into the living room, “Are you okay Bulma? You kind of screamed and…”

She smiled at him, “I'm okay, sorry about that. I'm just not used to seeing you in anything other than your gi.”

“Oh.” Goku said and laughed a little nervously, “Are you ready to go `Geta?”

Vegeta stood up from the couch and nodded. “See ya later woman.”

Trunks watched as his dad and Goku left before he turned to look at his mom, “Mom, why are they going to lunch?”

Bulma laughed a little, “I'm sure you already know why.”

“Well yeah, but I mean, isn't that just a little weird?” Trunks asked.

Bulma smiled at him, “Are you jealous?” She asked, “Maybe you'd like to take Goten out on a date?”

Trunks's face dropped but then he smiled and blushed a little, “If you gave me some money…”

“Oh? So you do have a crush on him?” Bulma asked curiously.

Trunks folded his arms, “Girls have crushes; boys don't.”

Bulma laughed at him, “I'm not so sure about that.”

“Whatever, I'm going to go play my video game.” Trunks said and turned away to go up stairs.

Piccolo stood at the edge of the Lookout, There so annoying, he thought as he looked upon Capsule Corp. He was already a bit tired of the dancing everyone was doing.

Piccolo only slightly rolled his eyes as Gohan came and landed next to him. He looked at the boy and Gohan sat down next to him. “Was it wise to leave Goten home alone?”

Gohan smiled, “He's thirteen.”

“What do you want?” Piccolo asked.

“I just came to see what you were doing.” Gohan said.

Piccolo turned back to look down at the Earth again, slightly annoyed. Gohan had this habit of always coming to see him whenever Goku was doing something, it wasn't that it really bothered him; it was just a little unnerving. Although right now, he was enjoying the visit. He even knew why the boy had come to see him all those times, and he was starting to wonder if Gohan was ever going to admit it. Sure, Piccolo could have said something, but he was a patient person when it came to this and he wanted Gohan to admit it first. “I'm watching Vegeta and Goku.” Piccolo said.

Gohan looked at him curiously, “Why?” He asked.

“Your brother and his friend asked me to do a favor for him yesterday.” Piccolo answered.

“Is that why they were with you when I was looking for you?” Gohan asked, putting the two together. The boys hadn't told him why they were with Piccolo; they had just avoided answering the question saying it was a secret.

Piccolo nodded and saw the two Sayians he was watching land a little ways away from their destination. He decided not to watch them anymore, as it would be prying into business that wasn't his own, not that that wasn't what he was doing already. He had already listened to the conversation Bulma had with Vegeta the other day on Trunks behalf. He decided now that if the two boys wanted to know anymore than they already did, then they were going to have to find out on their own.

Gohan laid down against the tiled floor. “How are you Piccolo?” He asked.

“You asked the same thing yesterday, does it look like I changed much?” Piccolo asked, looking down at the kid.

“No, but it's a polite thing to ask.” Gohan sighed and laid there for another ten minutes when Piccolo didn't say anything back. He had been contemplating on doing something for a few days now, he wasn't sure how Piccolo would respond, but he had to give it a try. It was what he had planned on doing yesterday, but he couldn't when he found Goten and Trunks with Piccolo, even after the boys had left, he still couldn't do it.

He fidgeted with his hands and glanced over at Piccolo before sitting up and fidgeting some more. He was starting to get nervous, what if Piccolo didn't respond the way he wanted him to? What if he thought of it as disgusting? He swung his legs off the edge and started to swing them, he glanced at Piccolo again.

“What's the matter with you?” Piccolo asked after seeing Gohan mess around beside him.

“It's just that I…Well I-” Gohan started to say, a blush spreading on his face. Kami, he just couldn't do it!

Piccolo smirked at him, having a good idea of what the boy was going to say.

Gohan turned to Piccolo thinking it was now or never. He tried to calm himself but he really couldn't. He turned away and looked back down at the clouds below, “I'm sorry, Piccolo.” He said, “I just can't say it.”

Piccolo eyed the boy curiously and decided to say, “Whatever it is Gohan, I'm sure you can tell me of all people.”

Gohan frowned, “That's just it; I can't.”

“Why not?” Piccolo asked, trying to get the boy to explain himself as well as lead him into saying it.

“Because it has to do with you,” Gohan said.

Piccolo smirked, “I'm sure I can handle it.”

Gohan shook his head and looked at Piccolo with determined eyes, “Tomorrow.” He said, “I'll definitely tell you.”

Piccolo shook his head and then looked back over Earth, “Do what you want kid.” He said and stood up.

Vegeta sat across from Goku, taking a sip of his drink. He was surprised by Kakarot's taste in food as they had ordered pretty much the same thing except with different sides.

Goku smiled trying to think of something to say, “So uh…” He said unintelligently.

Vegeta smirked at him, “What's wrong Kakarot? Not liking the silence?”

Goku shifted uncomfortably, “No, it's just kind of awkward.”

“Is it now?” Vegeta asked.

Goku nodded and smiled, for some reason he was finding it harder to talk to Vegeta today.

“Hn.” Vegeta thought for a moment. He smirked, as much as he'd rather not talk about it, how about making Kakarot feel even more uncomfortable? “What about telling me what you were doing when I was sleeping by the river?”

Goku stared at him dumbly for a moment, he had known? He hoped Vegeta wasn't too mad, but by the look of him, he actually looked happier about it. He blushed, “You really want to talk about that?” He asked.

“You're the one who can't think of anything to talk about.” Vegeta smirked and nodded, “Why not?”

Goku shifted in his seat again and looked down at the table, “Well I was trying to find something to do with Gohan, but Gohan wanted to take a nap, so I went swimming. I was just swimming down the river and saw you sleeping…” Goku trailed a little, unsure if he should continue. If Vegeta already knew about it, then why was he asking? “You looked so peaceful and happy,” Goku continued anyway, “I thought about waking you, but I didn't want you to freak out if I was only wearing my boxers…” Goku looked up from the table to see Vegeta looking away, a small blush on his cheeks.

“Sorry.” Goku mumbled, unsure of what he was apologizing for. He thought back to the conversation he had with Bulma and wondered just how much he liked Vegeta. Well, he did like him enough to ask him to lunch… and want to do other things than just spar with him, that much his blue-haired friend had pointed out to him. He gazed over at Vegeta, who was looking at him. He was just about to say something more when three waitresses came out carrying six plates of food.

“Is there anything else I can get for you sirs?” One of the ladies asked.

Goku shook his head, “No, but thank you.”

The waitress smiled, “I hope you enjoy your meal, if you need anything else just ask.” She said and winked before she left.

“Hn. Stupid woman.” Vegeta mumbled to himself picking up his tableware. The waitresses wink was clearly a flirtatious one; it was a good thing Kakarot hadn't noticed.

“What was that `Geta?” Goku asked, taking a bit of his food carefully. Gohan had taken him out and showed him how he should decently eat a meal when they were in a restaurant, he said at home that it didn't matter, but it was very impolite in public. He smiled remembering that.

“It's nothing.” Vegeta said, “Just eat.”

Goku nodded and the two at in silence to enjoy their meal. Afterwards, Goku burped loudly which earned a few stares from people in other seats. “Sorry.” He apologized and saw Vegeta glaring at him.

“Whatever.” Vegeta said, “Just pay so we can go.”

Goku smiled, “Okay.” He said and stood up. He carried his bill over to the pay counter as Vegeta walked out the door. Goku soon joined him outside. “Where to now?” He asked as they walked back to where they had landed when they went to the place.

Vegeta raised an eyebrow at him, “Did you have somewhere in mind?”

Goku shook his head, “No.”

“Then I go back to Capsule Corp. and you go home.” Vegeta said.

Goku smiled, “Aw, but you look good in that outfit and if we did that then I wouldn't get to see you.”

Vegeta blushed, “Don't say such stupid things!” He almost yelled.

Goku just kept smiling, “Well?” He asked.

“Fine! We can do something else too!” Vegeta let out a breath, still blushing. He was inwardly glad that Kakarot liked his outfit. Maybe he really would have to wear regular cloths more often like Trunks suggested…

“Great!” Goku smiled, “So what do you want to do?”

Vegeta frowned, “How the hell should I know? You're the one who suggested we do something else!”

Goku thought for a moment, but then sighed, “Fine…I'll just go home.” He said and slowly started raising himself from the ground.

“Kakarot…” Vegeta said in disappointment, he let out an irritated sigh. “We can go back to Capsule Corp. and find something to do.”

Goku landed back down next to Vegeta, “You really want me to stay?” He asked in surprise.

Vegeta felt a bit of heat in his cheeks again, “Just fucking come on.” He said and blasted into the sky. Fucking unbelievable! He thought.

“Hey `Geta,” Goku said as they were flying back, “You want to spar tomorrow?”

“Hn.” Vegeta didn't answer, “Why did you start calling me that?”

Goku put on a big smile and said, “Because I like you and its fun to say. See: `Geta, `Geta, `Geta, `Geta.” He repeated.

Vegeta blushed and frowned as Kakarot repeated it over and over, “God dammit Kakarot! Shut up!” He yelled, tempted to fire a ki blast at the man.

Goku laughed as they landed in front of Capsule Corp.

Bulma's mother was out watering the plants and saw them land, “Oh hi Goku, how nice it is to see you again, you're looking as nice as ever, and you too Vegeta.”

“Really? You think so?” Goku asked and Vegeta ignored her.

“Oh yes, darling, would you like me to get you a cup of tea or anything?” She asked.

“No, that's okay.” Goku said.

Vegeta vaguely wondered where she had been for the past couple of days, Come to think of it; I haven't seen her or that crazy scientist around for a couple of weeks. Vegeta thought as he went inside and Kakarot followed him.

“Welcome back.” Bulma greeted them with a smile from the living room.

“Hn.” Vegeta didn't answer as he pulled off his shoes.

“Hi Bulma.” Goku said with a smile.

Vegeta let out a breath once Kakarot left. He went and walked into the kitchen where he knew Bulma was and fixed himself something to drink.

Bulma smiled, “He likes you too, you know.”

“How do you know?” Vegeta asked, rather tired.

“He told me.”

Vegeta stared at her, “When?”

“Just a few days ago, when you came in here and we were talking,” Bulma smiled again.

“And you didn't tell me sooner?” Vegeta asked, slightly mad that she hadn't.

“No, I didn't think I should, but now I do. So, you should tell him that you like him too.”

“Hn. Why should I?”

“Vegeta.” Bulma said, knowing he knew why, “You're going sparring tomorrow right? Just tell him afterward, trust me, it'll work.”

Vegeta watched her for a moment to see if she was sincere. When it looked like she was, he nodded and decided. “Fine.”

Bulma smiled happily, “Good.” She said, “I can't wait to hear the results.”

~The next day~

“Good morning, dad.” Goten greeted as his father came down the stairs wearing his orange gi.

“Morning.” He said back, “I'm going to eat some breakfast then head over to spar with Vegeta, you want to come?” He asked, walking into the kitchen.

Goten nodded and followed his father, “Yeah, I've got to talk to Trunks anyway.”

“Oh yeah?” Goku asked, as he poured a bowl of cereal, “What about?”

“Hmm…” Goten thought a moment, not sure if he wanted to say it, but what was the harm in it? “You and Vegeta.” He answered.

Goku looked up surprised at his son, “What about us?” He asked.

“I'm not sure if Trunks'll be happy if I tell you…” Goten said.

Goku smiled and shrugged, taking another bite of his food, “Suit yourself.”

Goten smiled, “Are you about done? I wanna go.”

Goku nodded, and soon the two of them were flying to Capsule Corp.

“How come you don't just use instant transmission?” Goten asked.

“It's more fun to fly.” Goku simply answered.

“Oh,” Goten said and landed in front of the building, he knocked on the door, “Well, have fun sparring.” He handed Goku the bag of sensu beans, “I thought you might need these.”

Goku nodded just as Bulma opened the door, “Hi again.” Goku said.

Bulma looked like she had been up all night; her hair was a disarrayed mess and her cloths were a bit disheveled, no doubt she had been working on an experiment. She yawned, “Hi, Trunks is upstairs in his room and Vegeta's-”

“Right here,” Vegeta said and came up from behind her, “Let's go Kakarot.”

Bulma stepped out of the way to let Vegeta out and Goten in, “Guess I'll be seeing you two later,” She yawned again, “Don't forget to tell him, Vegeta.” She said and closed the door.

Next Update: Sometime in November, hopefully at the end of August.
