Goku rubbed at the perspiration on his forehead using the blue sweat band on his wrist as he continued to work at re-attaching the loose panel to the hull of the ship.

 

Both Vegeta and Goku had been working since they got back and now the light was fading to dusk. Goku was relieved for the break although they were still nowhere near finished. He needed to rest.

 

After a good meal he planned to have another shower. The first one felt so good. The water was always nice and hot on the ship and he mentally wished Bulma a sweet thought.

 

Goku saw Vegeta's white boots come into view above him as, exhausted, Vegeta lay on top of the ship. Goku smiled and soared up to join him. Goku lay next to Vegeta and looked up at the sky's fading sunlight.

 

Beautiful shades of pink, purple and orange streaked across his vision. This planet was breathtaking. The air was warm with a soothing breeze floating just above them. The trees around the ship lazily rustled, further relaxing the pair.

 

Goku turned to look at Vegeta, who looked content, his eyes closed. Goku smiled.

 

“This planet is just beautiful. I wonder if there are any other people here, well, living people, that is.”

 

Vegeta shrugged, his eyes still closed. “Well, we're not going to be done for a little while anyway. Maybe we should spend some time and explore.”

 

Goku smiled. “Yeah, I'd like that. But far away from that space station.” Goku shivered audibly, remembering. Vegeta laughed.

 

Then Vegeta's eyes opened, his face looking sad. Vegeta said, “They never had a chance. Why… why did our people ever get mixed up with that freak?” Goku knew he meant Frieza.

 

Goku blinked not knowing what to say. Vegeta looked angry, his mind touching on memories that he would never be able to fully suppress. Vegeta sat up, brooding. Goku watched him, not wanting to say anything to further upset him. But suddenly, Vegeta looked up at the sky and his face grew tranquil once more. Goku stared in fascination, feeling a peacefulness sweep over him in response. Sure, he had seen more and more of Vegeta in similar moods like this over the last few years, but still, he never seemed to get used to it - not after their rocky start.

 

They had gone through so much together, and against each other, but now they were here, working as a team. And Goku felt himself lucky to be here, now, with Vegeta. Vegeta didn't let anyone in, really, except for his family. And Goku. No one else came that close and Goku realized how special this made him feel.

 

Vegeta turned, feeling Goku's eyes on him. Vegeta looked uncomfortable as he abruptly got up, a slight pink hue to his cheeks.

 

“I'm going to go clean up. Want to fix something for dinner in the meantime?”

 

“Sure, if you trust my cooking?” Goku laughed. Vegeta grunted a laugh as he jumped down to the ground.

 

* * *

 

Goku got up from bed as lavender blue light from the skylight filled the room. He stretched heartily, looking forward to a day of exploring this new planet. Goku walked over to Vegeta's bed to wake him, but found himself staring down at the older Saiyan instead.

 

Vegeta looked very young as he slept, his mouth a tiny “o” as he snored lightly. Goku marveled at how small that mouth looked when it was used so often to yell and scream. Goku chuckled, loving the ability to just stare openly at the peaceful and sleeping Saiyan Prince. But Goku's face sobered as he had the sudden urge to rub his thumb against that small, little mouth.

 

Goku actually bent forward, not really sure what he was about to try when he saw his hand reaching forward to do just that. He pulled back suddenly, looking frightened.

 

He'd kill me! Goku thought in alarm.

 

Unnerved by the nearly uncontrollable urge that suddenly swept over him, Goku backed away from the bed and decided that he'd let Vegeta sleep in as long as he wanted.

 

* * *

 

Goku and Vegeta had flown for over an hour over the lush country, breezes blowing through treetops and fields of green. They saw a herd of antelope-like animals cut through one field and had stopped just to watch them.

 

It was all so peaceful.

 

They had not seen any signs of intelligent life so far, though.

 

They both wondered what this planet was called. They knew they were probably in the next solar system from Earth's after Vegeta had accidentally set off the hyperdrive, sending them hurtling through space, but surely it must have been given a name by someone, somewhere. It was too beautiful not to have a name.

 

After a time they came to a wide, green river and Goku began his descent to land, laughing. Vegeta followed, not knowing what Goku was up to.

 

Vegeta landed behind Goku and felt his face heat as Goku started to remove his armor, then boots.

 

Goku turned around, as he bent over to remove his right boot. “Want to go for a swim?”

 

Vegeta knew he didn't want to just stand there and watch Goku undress, so he shrugged and started to remove his clothing too. He was just yanking off his spandex pants as a very nude Goku ran to the water. Vegeta followed, trying to look anywhere but at Goku's body as Goku dived head first into the river.

 

Vegeta was just stepping into the water when the surface broke in front of him suddenly and he was carried in Goku's arms high up into the air.

 

Vegeta fought against Goku's sudden embrace, but then he noticed, at the same time as he heard Goku's heart hammering away in his chest, the large crocodile that broke the surface of the water where he had just been standing. The creature had hurled itself out of the water with such force that it slapped down again, spraying water in 20 foot arcs on either side of it. Then it just sat there, watching them.

 

“Yikes! That was close! The water is full of them.”

 

Vegeta, pressed against Goku's chest, looked up at Goku in alarm, then looked down again at the water and could make out large shapes below the water's surface for as far as the eye could see.

 

Vegeta realized his own heart was hammering away in his chest, then realized what he was doing.

 

He was in Goku's nude embrace. And he was nude himself.

 

Vegeta would have pushed at Goku, probably with much force, but the last thing he wanted to do was push Goku and have Goku fall too close to the water, making him a target for one of the huge creatures below. They obviously had a talent for jumping out of the water with great speed and force.

 

“Goku, would you kindly let me go!” Vegeta made his voice as cold as he possibly could.

 

Goku looked at Vegeta in confusion and noticed the blush playing on Vegeta's cheeks. Goku then abruptly let him go, blushing himself, laughing as he scratched the back of his head. “Oh! Sorry!”

 

Vegeta, pushed away, trying not to look at Goku. Vegeta looked over the river, trying to catch his breath. As startling as the event had been, Vegeta was enjoying the feel of the cool air on his body. The air, almost comforting, he…

 

Vegeta realized his body was showing signs of arousal.

 

Vegeta swiftly turned and descended to the ground again, grabbing up his clothing. Within seconds, to the accompaniment of Goku screaming in alarm, Vegeta heard the large beast behind him swiftly make a run for him. Vegeta scrambled up their clothing and jumped up into the air as the croc snapped at his toes.

 

Vegeta, frightened grunted out, “Crap!”

 

“Are you crazy!!?” Goku yelled at Vegeta.

 

Vegeta only stared at the beast below them, panting for air. He held all of their clothes, armor and saiyan radars clutched in front of his body.

 

Vegeta, still staring at the huge croc below, said, “Let's get out of here.”

 

Goku didn't argue.

 

* * *

 

Once well over land again, both Saiyans landed to dress. Vegeta felt himself blush all hot when he found himself staring once more at Goku's body.

 

What the HFIL is going on with me!? Vegeta silently asked himself.

 

Goku felt the tension in Vegeta and couldn't blame him. That really was close. Goku had nearly dived right into the croc's mouth. The thing had to be at least 20 feet long. And it was fast.

 

This planet was beautiful, but already, twice, it seemed to hold dangers for them. Goku wasn't so enthusiastic about exploring anymore.

 

He followed Vegeta in silence as they returned to the ship to continue with repairs while they still had light.

 

* * *

 

Vegeta re-attached the last panel. He had been outside working for most of the afternoon. Goku was inside cleaning tomato soup from the walls and control panel.

 

Vegeta walked into the control room wiping at his brow. Goku watched him as he entered.

 

“Hey, you want something to drink? You've been at it for awhile.”

 

Vegeta nodded, smiling. Goku handed him a sports drink from the cooler he had opened only minutes before. Goku watched as Vegeta downed the drink in one gulp, watching as Vegeta's Adam's Apple rose and lowered with each swallow. Sweat dripped down Vegeta's neck and chest.

 

Vegeta finished the drink, gasping in satisfaction, and wiped at his mouth with the back of his hand. Then he noticed Goku staring at him with a transfixed expression.

 

Vegeta's face went crimson and he quickly walked over to the control panel to see the progress Goku had made.

 

Goku felt his face go hot as well, not knowing why.

 

“Shall we do some systems checks, or just call it a night?” Vegeta didn't turn for an answer.

 

Goku answered, “I don't know. I'm kind of tired. I guess we can do it in the morning.”

 

* * *

 

Vegeta tossed and turned. After an hour of uselessly trying to get some sleep, he walked out of the bedroom and walked around the ship.

 

Vegeta thought back to earlier in the day, when both he and Goku were high over the river, looking down at the large crocodile.

 

In each other's arms.

 

He remembered the feel of Goku's skin against his, warm and smooth.

 

Vegeta shook his head as if he had to physically dislodge something. He didn't understand why he was having these thoughts.

 

Then briefly, a thought flitted through his mind. It was a correction -- not WHY he was having these thoughts. But why he was finally acknowledging these thoughts, when he had only ignored them in the past.

 

* * *

 

Goku had listened as Vegeta had left the room. It had been awhile since he had left. Goku knew how agitated Vegeta was. Vegeta's whole being emanated friction.

 

Goku wanted to see if he was all right, and since he wasn't getting any sleep either, he got up to go and see what Vegeta was up to.

 

Goku walked into the control room, but didn't see Vegeta anywhere. He walked down to the engine room -- still no sign of Vegeta.

 

Goku wondered if maybe Vegeta were in the bathroom. He walked in and poked his head around the stalls. Again, no Vegeta.

 

Goku looked outside and saw the stars and the clear night sky and thought maybe Vegeta went to get some fresh night air. Goku opened the door and walked down the plank it created as it touched the grass. He looked around the ship and even flew up above the ship to see if Vegeta were sitting up there.

 

Still no sign of him.

 

Goku scratched his head trying to think where he could be, then thought he heard something behind him.

 

Goku finally noticed Vegeta, his back to him and slouching, sitting on the hill that their ship rested against.

 

Goku smiled, as he flew over to join him.

 

Goku plopped down right next to Vegeta on the hill, saying “Hi!”

 

Vegeta stopped, frozen.

 

Goku's eyes widened.

 

Vegeta put his hand over himself, feeling like he wanted the world to swallow him whole.

 

Goku got up, stammering. “Umm, I… I didn't know… um…”

 

Vegeta, feeling awkward and not knowing what else to do jumped up, stuffing himself back into his pants. Quickly wiping his hand against his pants leg, Vegeta flew back to the ship, leaving Goku to stammer uselessly.
