Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ The Meeting Then Mating ❯ Chapter Three: Empty Space ( Chapter 3 )

Goku watched Vegeta press buttons furiously from his co-pilot seat. Vegeta had an intense look on his face which meant he knew what he was doing. Goku laughed to himself, imagining being stuck in space on his own. It wasn't that he hadn't been in space alone before, but he wasn't good with technology. It took many driving tests for him to get the hang of driving. He laughed remembering him and Piccolo at driving school. He had lots of fun, but gave his teacher a heart attack when he almost crashed into a Capsule Corporation truck. If he could barely drive a car, much less a spaceship. He remembered taking a year to come back from Namek. He must have gotten lost a least 28 times. Goku chuckled to himself at the thought. Vegeta suddenly stood from his chair, awakening Goku from his walk down memory lane.

 

“So? Is everything in order?” Goku asked as Vegeta passed him by. Vegeta continued to walk away from him, completely ignoring Goku's words.

 

Goku raised his eyebrows at Vegeta's retreating back. `What's up with him?' Goku asked to himself. He thought back to make sure that he hadn't said anything to anger the prince. He scratched his head in thought.

 

Last time Vegeta had said anything to him was right before lift off. When he was carrying all the equipment into the ship, and even that was minimal. Just the basic “yes” and “no's”. Maybe he was just grumpy because he had to say good bye to Trunks and Bulma. They weren't married anymore but she was like a best friend to him, so it must have been hard to say bye. And Vegeta and Trunks had gotten much closer after Buu. But they would be gone for only for about three months or maybe even less. Goku stood up and went to the gravity chamber area of the ship. He thought that he would give Vegeta some space. He knew the prince well enough to not interfere with him when he was in one of his moods, it would only begin a verbal battle. The only battle that Vegeta would win against Goku.

 

 

*******

 

 

Vegeta slipped under the cold stream of water. Maybe a cold shower would make the heat in his body go away. He felt so hot. Even under the stream he could still feel himself sweating.

 

When ever he got close to Kakarot he would feel so hot. His mind would begin to wonder. And it would wonder to a world which he didn't want to visit. He would imagine Kakarot above him sweating, positioned in between his thighs. Panting his name, biting his neck, claming him.

 

Vegeta felt himself blush. He couldn't believe that he would think that way for Kakarot. A third-class-sayain! Someone inferior to him! He was the prince! Why would he think of Kakarot? And why the fuck would he be on top in all his thoughts and dreams? It outraged the sayain prince. He felt like he was becoming weak and stupid with lust. It wasn't his fault that the heat was so strong now that he was single again.

 

He never admitted it but he was attracted to the taller sayain. His broad shoulders and tall muscular frame, the disheveled hair, those intense but innocent looking eyes, his beautiful brown tail. The power and strength, and positive energy that he let flow out of his body like an endless fountain. His dominating presence in battle made Vegeta lusting just for a spar.

 

He glared at his erection. He reached for it, then stopped in mid reach. He would not. He wasn't going to… Vegeta retreated his hands and felt for the knobs that controlled the temperature in the shower. He turned off the hot water completely and left nothing but the ice cold water running. He hissed at chill running down his spine to the very tip of his tail. His arousal almost diminished.

 

 

******

 

Goku deflected the ki blast he had sent to himself, then watching as it circled the room and headed straight for him. He held out his hands ready to absorb the blast. There was a flash of light and the blast was gone. Goku sighed to himself. Training was boring when he was alone. And it was even more boring when he knew that there was someone there who was perfectly able to train yet wasn't in the mood.

 

Goku sighed and sat down on the floor. He looked at his orange gi's and remembered that Vegeta had requested Bulma sayain armor for him as well. He wondered weather he should go put it on at that moment. He went into his bedroom and opened one of the closets. He could see that the armor had only changed a bit. It looked just like the ones he wore in the time chamber, but these looked quite classy. It had what he guessed was Planet Vegeta's symbol on the left side of the chest, the chest armor looked very new. He glanced around the closet and say at least 100 of the same suit. And saw some capsules of what probably contained more suits. Bulma really had outdone herself this time.

 

Then he began to think of Vegeta. It had been about an hour since the prince had been in the bathroom. Goku began to get worried. He knew that Vegeta would be irritable at some point in the trip but he wasn't expecting it to be so soon. Goku left the room stretching his arms above his head and made his way to the master bedroom's bathroom. He knocked on the door. No response. He knocked again, and waited. Then he heard a faint “Go away,” from inside.

 

“You've been there for a long time `Geta. Is something wrong?” Goku asked worriedly from outside the door.

 

Vegeta rolled his eyes at the new nickname as he slipped into his sayain armor. The armor he wore looked just like Goku's. But when he would see the Kai he would wear his royal armor. He shoved his foot into his boot, briskly opened the door and shoved past a startled Goku.

 

 

Vegeta walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. He needed to stay away from Kakarot. At least until the heat was gone. But that wasn't for another week or so. He knew he would have to either neglect Kakarot for a week or explain everything to him and ask him to leave Vegeta alone.

 

Vegeta scrunched his nose at the thought of teaching sayain sex-ed to Kakarot. He saw how much trouble Trunks had with the whole sex-ed in school. And all those questions. And he knew that Kakarot in these cases was like a child. He saw a chocolate cake at the far end of the fridge. He knew it was Bulma's mother who put it in there for him. She knew that he loved chocolate cake. Vegeta lifted the cake from the fridge shelf and turned to place the cake on the kitchen counter, only to find Kakarot sitting on the counter in front of him.

 

“You're in my way Kakarot.” Vegeta said bluntly at Goku.

 

Goku pouted at Vegeta giving him a little glare. “You could just put it beside me. Or just say excuse me, ya know…” Goku got down from the counter standing before the angry prince as they stared at each other. Goku had a sudden urge to just through Vegeta over his knee and give him a good slap. He wasn't rude like this before he left Earth. It's like he was doing this just to piss Goku off.

 

Goku stepped aside to let Vegeta put the cake on the counter. He watched Vegeta rummage around for a plate and something to cut the cake with. He heard Vegeta swearing under his breath and kicked one of the cabinets in anger. Goku sighed. He opened a draw in the counter and took out a knife and then opened one of the cabinets too high above Vegeta's reach. He smiled down at the fuming prince. Vegeta just glared at him and sat at one of the counter stools resting his head on one hand like a pouting child. Goku put the two plates on the table and began to cut pieces for both of them. He cut a really large piece for Vegeta and one for himself. He placed the plate in front of Vegeta and tossed him a fork. He sat down next to Vegeta and began to eat in silence.

 

About five minutes passed as they sat in silence. Goku began to feel uneasy. He watched Vegeta eat. The prince still had his cheek in his hand and was eating the cake slowly and sometimes poking at it. Goku could tell he was stressed out about something. Goku didn't like to see Vegeta that way. He liked the prince when he talked a lot. Even if most of the stuff he said wasn't nice. He knew that when Vegeta was happy he would complain a lot and through playful insults at people. But he wasn't doing that. He was just quiet and pissed.

 

Goku worriedly glanced at Vegeta. It had only been 12 hours and he was already getting depressed. He wondered why he didn't feel hungry anymore. Was his worry for Vegeta really affecting him that much? Goku stared at Vegeta. Goku's tail began to wrap around Vegeta's low hanging tail. The tip of Goku's tail stroked Vegeta's.

 

Vegeta stiffened. He held his fork tightly. He felt a blush come over his face. He didn't move. He knew that if he did, it would make the situation even more awkward for the both of them.

 

Goku saw the blush on Vegeta's face. He looked so cute. But he would never dare tell the prince this; he liked his head where it was. Goku knew that he felt something for the moody royal. But was scared to act upon it. He would always think that Vegeta wouldn't return his feelings. But he saw the look in Vegeta's eyes when they stared at each other in Bulma's lab back on Earth. Ever since then he realized he had a chance with his prince.

 

Vegeta now sat on his stool with both hands on the table the fork left on his plate. His blush deepened when he heard Kakarot purring at him, as if to calm him. Soon he felt a small rumble begin to happen in his own chest. `Shit!' Vegeta thought in his head. `Why won't I stop purring!? I could always control it before. Why not now?'

 

“What's wrong Vegeta?” Goku purred still stroking Vegeta's tail with his own. Goku asked calmly not to scare away the already frightened and fidgety prince. He could see that the touching made Vegeta and uneasy, giving him the look as if he wanted to runaway to the farthest side of the ship. But he didn't let go. He wanted to know what was wrong. And he wanted to hint to Vegeta some of his feelings so that when he broke the news to him he wouldn't blast him across the room.

 

“I… um… I have to tell you some…” Vegeta stuttered, his blush never altering. `Tell him about the heat now...' Vegeta said to himself. “FORGET IT!” Vegeta slammed his fists on the table making dents on the metal. He stood abruptly and grabbed his tail with his hands pulling it away from Goku's grasp. The purring topped for both of them.

 

Vegeta stood before Goku in a pre fighting stance. As if he was ready to start a fight but was unsure of whether to run or stay. “Stay away.” Vegeta spat at Goku. Vegeta's breath hitched when he heard Goku begin to growl.

 

Goku slid off the stool to stand before the prince. Goku's growling was very quiet but there. His tail was high in the air and moving from left to right as if agitated. Vegeta's eyes widened. Kakarot was musking… at him! Vegeta shifted uneasy, the sent in the room was going to make him do something stupid. The sent given off by musking was mainly for mating. And the growling was a display of dominance. He guessed that Kakarot was ready to mate. He was in heat, Kakarot was musking at him. This wasn't good. Vegeta looked up at Goku and saw his eyes looked at him in a stern yet soft manner. Much like the look he got from him in Bulma's lab.

 

Goku's head was filled with images of Vegeta. He could see his smaller frame withering beneath him. Calling out his name. He could see himself biting Vegeta on the neck. But why would he do that? Goku wondered to himself. He could feel a strange sent coming from Vegeta. He could feel himself growling. Goku moved closer to Vegeta. With every step forwards he took, Vegeta took one back. But soon Vegeta had no where to go. He was pressed up against a wall.

 

“Kakarot…” Vegeta whispered as Goku put both of his hands against the wall either side of Vegeta's shoulders trapping him.

 

“Vegeta…” Goku said his prince's name as his face was inches away from Vegeta's. Goku didn't want it to be this easy. He didn't want to do anything with rush. He wanted Vegeta, but he also wanted to make sure of it. Goku needed to know that it was what Vegeta wanted as well. And he knew that having a chat with Vegeta was never the easiest way to deal with the prince. But he the sent coming off of Vegeta made him want to take the prince right then and there. Goku realized his closeness and blushed. “I'm sorry, I don't know what's gotten into me…” Goku retreated from a heavily panting Vegeta. He scratched the back of his head in the usual Goku style and flashed the prince a toothy grin.

 

“You want something to drink?” Goku asked.

 

Vegeta's jaw dropped, his eyes wide. Kakarot had just tried to practically seduce him and now he was offering him a drink!

 

“SOMETHING TO DRINK!? AH! UNBELIVABLE!” Vegeta roared throwing his hands in the air. He turned his back to Goku and began to stomp out of the kitchen. He was going to train.

 

Then Goku called after him. “So that's a no, then?”

 

“IT'S A NO! KAKAROT! A BIG FUCKING NO!” Vegeta slammed the gravity chamber door behind him.
