Find me.. 4 “Baka”. Goku almost choked in his drink and turned around to see a very sweaty Vegeta stand next to him, smirking. Goku’s eyes widened at first, seeing him stand there with his shirt glued to his chest, showing all of his muscles. Then he clenched them to thin lines, realizing what a kind greeting the prince had given him. “Nice to see you too”. A little bit wobbly Vegeta sat down next to him, a fresh bottle of beer almost sliding out of his wet hand. His scent engulfed the tall Saiyan like a blanket; the heavy musk blurring his mind. The prince let out a shallow sigh when he finally found his place next to him. “What was that for anyway?” Goku asked. “What was what for?”. “That very sweet greeting of yours. Not something I’d expect from you after such a long time”. “I’m sure you heard the word baka from me before as a greeting” Vegeta commented offhandedly. “Yeah, but that was kinda rude don’t ya think?”. “Hn.. whatever. Its your fault for sitting out here and not having fun inside”. Goku grinned. “I’m having enough fun by myself here”. “Fine then. Bye”. Vegeta grabbed a patch of grass and tried to get up. Hastily Goku grabbed him by a wrist and pulled him back down. “No.. matte yo.. I am having more fun with you here. I guess”. Vegeta raised an eyebrow and looked at him, taking a sip of beer. “So what did you come here for if you’re just going to sit down outside. The real fun is inside you know”. “I just..” “Am chicken?” the Ouji chuckled drunkenly. “Nani? No I’m not!”. “Whatever. I assumed you were too chicken to go inside when sitting outside dressed like that. Speaking of which, who clothed you anyway?”. Goku blushed deeply, staring at his shirt and tight pants. Yeah, why did he dress like this? His shirt open like, his slightly pale skin shining in the moonlight, the pants were a little too tight causing his muscles to bulge... He looked up again with a light blush on his cheeks, noticing that Vegeta had been staring with him and now was looking straight in his eyes, worsening the redness of his face. “Is it that bad? I.. I just grabbed something from the closet..” The Ouji smirked. “Dressed to kill is how I would describe it”. Goku blushed even more, seeing Vegeta smirk with a devilish delight before he leaned back to the wall again, brushing his hot shoulder against Goku’s. “So what brings you here? I didn’t think you were someone who’d go to a party like this” Vegeta teased. “I didn’t want to go at first, but Trunks wanted me to come pretty bad so..”. “Don’t tell me you came because of the boy?”. “No.. well maybe a little but he wasn’t the main reason”. “I’d figure that! I don’t want my son to hunt a baka like you” the Ouji snarled. “Get off of that baka-attitude Vegeta!”. “Whatever. So what was the main reason?”. “Well you sure are interested today”. “You sitting outside, on a night like this, dressed like that, sighing as if you whole family has just died and your son run off with that horrid gardening TV-guy. Something must be wrong right? Besides, I had nothing to do so I came here to cool down”. Goku grinned, staring at the other warriors slick chest. “Doesn’t look like its working”. “Hn. Do you have any idea how hot it is in there? Not to mention the ningen’s... now they’re crazy...” “Sure”. “So are you going to tell me?”. “Why do you care?”. Vegeta grinned and put a heavy hand on one of his shoulder. “Trust me... entertain me and in return I’ll try to help you out with it”. Frowning Goku turned his face to look at Vegeta’s; they were mere inches away. Looking in the deep black eyes of the prince he decided he wouldn’t care and just do what he felt like doing for this night on. Maybe Vegeta could relieve him of what bothered him and even help him forget it. “Hn.. its just that..” He looked up at the stars again. “Do you ever look up to the stars Vegeta? I mean really look at them?”. Vegeta raised his head and looked up too, his vision a little blury as he tried to focus on the tiny dots of light that were a total minority compared to the large moon “Sometimes, it looks as if they are all jealous and just shine for us so that they can see what kind of good things happen here on earth. They sometimes look so alone in the darkness, standing so far away from everything that really matters”. Vegeta frowned thoughtfully. “You know, I never looked at them because they always brought me bad news. Another planet needing to be destroyed or people to be wiped out”. “You cared about that?”. “No.. I didn’t. I enjoyed that actually for quite some time, till it became boring. I hated it because every time it meant being away again and when I got back, I could count on some nice welcome by Frieza”. “What goes around comes around..” the younger man stated before his Prince cut him off. “Don’t say that! Don’t EVER say that! I hated every cell of Frieza‘s body. I sometimes felt happy that it was me who murdered all those beings and not that sadistic piece of shit. They should be grateful”. “They’d rather not die at all”. “Dying is better than having him run over you and..”. “What?”. “Nothing”. “Tell me!” Goku demanded. “Lay off Kakarott, it doesn’t concern you”. “Maybe it does! I just said that I agreed to tell you my story and you’d help me, why not make it even? You tell me your problem and  I’ll help you” “Don’t be so caring... but what the hell... One time I had found a mate, not quite worthy of my status but... I liked being around him”. “Him?” “Yeah, what’s so weird about that?” he snorted. “Those damn ningen’s have such narrow minds... It was simply on Vegeta-sei, if you liked someone and they liked or loved you back that was all you needed. No matter the gender”. “I see...” Goku let out a bit of a relieved sigh. So Vegeta wouldn’t be surprised if he said he like him or was attracted to him since he had already been with a man. Not that he would say it though.. but it made him feel a bit more relieved, and more at ease with being around the prince too. “Now your turn”. “Nani?” “I told you a bit, now you tell a bit of your tale and  I’ll tell a bit of mine and so on. I don’t want to get stuck in my own pathetic story, I want something to amuse me”. “Whatever you want Vegeta”. “Its my house”. “That’s got nothing to do with it!”. “Oh shut up and continue”. “Alright then. After all the bad guys have been fought on this planet, Chi-chi left, my sons grew up and had relationships and all. You know I’m so happy every time they come to see me. Goten spends half of his time here, even more maybe since your house is so much closer to the city. There is nothing to do except for keeping the house clean”. “Don’t you do anything beside it?” the Prince enquired. “What is there to do?”. “You could have fun tonight, but instead you decide to spend your time alone... have you had any fun at all?” Goku didn’t like where this conversation was going so he changed the subject. “Tell me more of your story”. “Okay... we hadn’t finalised are mated bond yet, but we decided that he would become my proper mate when he got back from his last mission. We only had a short amount of time to make the bonding complete”. “So?” “He never came back, the mission was to much for him”. “Aww jeez... I’m sorry Vegeta”. “It happens. Later on my whole planet was blown up so what does it matter anyway?”. “But still..” “And then I came here and found a new mate. But as soon as I truly started to love her and began to forget about my previous mate, she destroyed everything”. “Don’t see it like that..” Goku said, trying to console the older man. “Why not?” “Relationships don‘t always last forever. People find new people that suit them and can handle every change in their lives”. Vegeta scoffed. “I never expected such a long answer to come from you, especially since you were left by your wife like I was”. “Long... But it is true isnt it? Bulma changed without you and you didn’t fit in anymore” Goku stated matter-of-factly. “Didn’t fit in? What kind of an answer is that! I’m not a shirt that fits and when you grow out of it you throw it away! A true mate is always right for you regardless!” “Was she really your mate then? Was she really like your previous mate?” “No she wasn’t.. she was..” “Human” Goku sighed. Back To part 5 To part 3
