Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Tough Love ❯ So we meet... ( Chapter 1 )

Hello, my name is Son Kakarott…but almost everyone calls me Goku. I am 17 and I attended Orange Star High School in Satan City. I have black hair and dark brown eyes and I am in martial arts. You're probably wondering why I'm even telling you all this stuff huh? Well the answer is…it's the beginning of course. I sit here, on the cold steel bleachers of near the school field. I am dressed in a simple orange tee shirt, blue jeans and black tennis shoes. That's it. My head of unruly hair tilts to the side a bit as I watch the one of my desires, and no, I'm not talking about my so-called girl friend Chi Chi Mau. Now, don't get me wrong. I love her, we've been going out since our freshman year, and how we're juniors. I don't know why but I'm just not attracted to her in that way anymore. A small smile forms on my thin and pale lips as I watch him kick that silly black and white soccer ball into its goal. He's such a good athlete…We've been friends since we were, oh about, five. But sadly, after reaching High School he drifted away from me. It makes me sad thinking of that. We still occasionally hang out but…he's just changed so much. "Vegeta…" I love how his name sounds, so strong and beautiful.

I'm startled out of my musing as a small hand was placed on my shoulder. Turning my head of raven locks I look up into the dark brown eyes of my girl friend…Chi Chi. I smile and wave to her as she sits next to me, a small frown on her face. I laugh softly wondering what the hell is wrong now. I don't mean to think such mean things but she is constantly nagging me. `Do this Goku' or `Why didn't you study Goku' there are just so many of those variations. Her hair is pulled back in a tight bun, making her look years older thank she really is. She is dressed in a black turtleneck and jeans with boots. Very contemporary, hiding all her pretty features. She just shakes her head and looks away, what did I do this time? It always seems to be my fault with her. Even if it really wasn't my fault. I shake my head a bit to clear my thoughts when I see her lips start moving. Oh man…she's scolding me again. Why does she do this all the time? It's so infuriating! She is so dominating too. Occasionally I sneak a side-glance as I watch him practice. He's the best athlete this school has ever seen I'm sure.

I'm brought back to reality when I feel her voice rising in anger. Sighing a bit I try to calm her down…no use. She stands and glares at me saying how I never listen to her. I'm listening right now though…she's blocking my view! I want to yell, I want to glare, I want to stick up for myself but I can't. She has always intimidated me for some reason. And I can't get over the fact how weak I act around her. I apologize profusely and bow my head like a puppy that's been hit. I hear her sighing as she moves to sit next to me again and rests her head on my shoulder. I have to hold back a laugh at this…they all think me so simple minded yet I fool them every time. The only one I think I can't fool is my Vegeta. She forgives me and goes back to talking about her latest shopping spree with Bulma. Bulma Briefs and Chi Chi have been best friends since forever. Not to mention that Bulma's father owns Capsule Cooperation and Chi Chi's father is the mayor. They can do anything and every thing they want…it sickens me.

I look over at Chi Chi again and frown a tad; I remember when she went out with my brother, Raditz. I'm sure she still likes him. Him and his long hair, big muscles and raspy voice. I act like a child, most of the time any ways. I know that, they all know that. All of my friends know. But it's just my exterior. That I am a child inside and out. My brother is in collage that is also why I think Chi Chi wants to go out with him. I shake my head softly and I begin to actually half listen to her. Its hard not to when she rambles on and on and on. It almost drives me crazy. But some how I manage. Finally the girl stands and bends giving me a kiss. I just smile and nod as she says she is meeting Bulma at the mall. Its right for them, the two of them being best friends. Ice queens as well. They will only go out with the hottest guys in school. A small smile pulls on my face as she leaves, at least I'm considered hot. I look up and see the man of my dreams walking towards me. Shirt off and sweating like mad. I lick my lips quickly to dry them and let my eyes rove over his muscular chest before looking up at his face and waving. I keep telling myself not to blush, there was no reason to blush right?

After he grabs his bag he walks over to me, dressed only in a pair or black soccer shorts and cleats. I could just eat him all up. I'm turning out to be such a pervert! Shaking my head once more I wave and smile as he sits next to me, towel around his neck and panting softly. I smiled over at him and tilt my head to the side a bit before looking forward again and relax, or try to at lease. The two of us sit silently for a long time until Vegeta stands and looks down at me telling me that he is going to shower here then we will go to that new teen club that just opened. I nod and stood up stretching, my spin cracking in the process. The small teen jumps from the bleachers and I am forced to watch him walk silently and arrogantly to the boys locker room. I smile and let my eyes rove over his back and buttocks, which I love oh so much. I lick my suddenly dry lips before following after him, not into the locker room mind you, just to stand outside and wait.

It was only probably ten minutes later that he would exit the school locker room. His gravity defying hair slightly damp with his thick bangs hanging in front of his dark eyes. To most they look black, but if one were to look close enough they would notice that they are simply a dark chocolate brown. I love his eyes…more than anything that is what I love about him. He is dressed in acid wash jeans that fit his butt and thighs perfectly and a black tank top showing each of his developing muscles. He pulls a pair of black sunglasses from his backpack and puts them on her narrow eyes. Silently we walk to my old beat up car that I bought for three hundred dollars. That's what we do with our first cars. Buy inexpensive crappy ones…then when we have money, we'll buy the nice ones.

After a short argument on who was driving I climbed slowly into the passenger's side. Ah no fair, it is my car. I deliver a playful punch to the small man's arm. Vegeta only being five feet three inches, and me five foot seven. Poor guy, so short. But I like `em short if you get my drift. Heh. He speeds, always does. Driving about 90 on the high way I turn on some music, rock, both of our favorite thing to listen to. I look over at him and raise a brow as I catch him humming softly to the loud rock music. He is so cute when he does that. Looking forward again I reclined back into the seat and watch as cars whiz by us. I always wondered why we never got stopped…or just how we were never caught.

"Kakarott…do you have to go to your house first?" He brought me out of my stupor and I raised a brow looking over at him and shaking my head `no'. He nodded before smirking. "Hold onto you balls Kakarott…" I was confused for a moment until I took a glance at the speedometer and notice that he is now going over 100 mph. I can't help but laugh and hold onto the door handle, which thank God it was locked other wise I might have flown out the window. I loved it when he drove fast, such an adrenaline rush it was! I let out a loud hoot and he laughed, he only did that around me. It made me feel special. Not even all the girls he fucked for fun made him laugh like this. One of his evil smirks pulled oh his lips as he sped past a cop, now going about 110 miles per hour. Sirens were heard and he continued driving that fast…which actually got me fairly worried. I looked over at him with pleading eyes and he sighed softly before pulling over. Gah…another speeding ticket thanks to Vegeta Ouji…

Hours later, after we had been bailed from jail by Bulma and Chi Chi did we ever actually get to go to the club. But luckily the two girls abandoned us to our own devices. I take a quick look to the side and see Chi Chi and Bulma dancing together…that's nice. I shake my head a bit before looking over at Vegeta who was smirking. He was obviously plotting something…but what? I let out a `Ack!' as he pushed me into the large crowd on the dance floor. But I couldn't help but laugh as he pushed a few people out of the way so that we could start dancing. Even if he was short, he was pretty damn intimidating. I remember the first day he came to school. It was our sophomore year and most of the gang had been together since first or second grade. He had walked in like he owned the place, and the first day he got in a fight. Beat the kid to a bloody pulp too. He was also suspended. Heh, he had quick temper and hot head…one of the reasons that I care for him so much. He is different. Sure he plays lots of sports, is basically a jock, but he is one of a kind. I smile at him as we begin to dance to the beat of the music, not really with each other, but not apart either. There were laser lights and strobe lights making it seem like we were all dancing in slow motion. Eventually the two girls made their way over to Chi Chi and I began to dance while Vegeta and Bulma danced. The blue haired girl and my raven-haired boy were one of those unspoken couples. They found their way together by the need to not be alone.

Hours later we would leave the club sweaty and tired. Maybe we shouldn't have gone out on a school day? Ah well! It was fun, we danced for hours and got some fries too. Chi Chi clung to my arm like a scared girl as Bulma did to Vegeta. For some reason I could tell he wasn't comfortable with the blue haired girl clinging to him. He was never one to be touched a lot. We kiss our girl friends good bye before they climb into Bulma's candy apple red convertible. Silently Vegeta and me move to my old clunky car. I won the wrestle of the keys this time and climbed into the driver's seat while my dear friend silently fumed. Ha! The drive home was silent. We were both exhausted from so much dancing.

We stop at his house first. It's a simple single story white house. There was a car in the parking lot and a single light on…not a good sign. I can hear him sigh next to me before he nods to me. "Good night Kakarott." Slowly and almost reluctantly he climbs out of the car and I am forced to watch him make the treck to his home. When the door opens I can clearly hear screams and shouts. My poor Vegeta. I shake my head softly before driving to my house, only five minutes from his. I climb out of the car and walk up to the door and open it with my own set of keys. The moment I step inside I am assaulted with the sickening smell of weed and beer. My brothers home. Our father, Bardock, works the night shift. So everything bad happens at night and he doesn't come home until six in the morning. I peek in the living room and see my idiot of a brother with a few of his druggie friends. Nappa and our cousin Turles. I don't like any of them. But unfortunately I have to walk past them to get to my room. Quickly, yet not to quickly, I move though the smoke filled room and pray that I won't be spotted. No such luck.

I feel a larger hand wrap around my wrist and jerk me back causing me to fall on the ground. Now, I'm a fairly muscular guy, but so are the three before me. Turles laughs a bit, obviously it was him who had pulled me down. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts I stand up and look at the three in disappointment. I would glare but…I've never been one to get angry or do that type of stuff. That's why I hang out with Vegeta, he gets angry for me. I watch as the bald Nappa takes a drag of his joint before coughing while Raditz chugs his beer. They're all going to be throwing up later tonight I'm sure. "I don't have time for you games guys…I have school tomorrow." I brush a bang out of my face and look to the ground before walking down the hall. I can only hope to whatever deity who is listening that they wont follow. I silently go into the small and cramped room, its similar to Vegeta's, just a little more run down. I undress to just my boxers before climbing into bed. I stare silently at the half moon outside my window and I can faintly hear foot steps coming towards my room…looks like they wont let me sleep peacefully tonight.
