Seconds..
I hate that.
I hate time slipping away like this.
Damn..
I take a look at the digital clock.
It reads 13.05
Sigh.
Tick tock tick tock..
Life slipping away like an old clock.
My ass is like wood.
This couch is like shit..
Isn’t there anyone else doing nothing? I’m so bored out of my skull. *sigh*
I put on the tv. Nothing but stupid annoying shows and commercials. I can’t believe that they still have such awfull programs on. I’ve played all the games on the gamecube, far too easy. This planet only has numb brainless people. What’s the time? 13.18. Sheesh.. Doorbell!! Run!! Now! before whoever leaves again and I get crazy!
I fly off the couch to the door to open up and have some relief from this boring day. When I look the sun is scorching my eyes, damn! Why does it have to be this hot today? Hn..makes things only worse.. When I can finally see, its a tall figure suddenly blocking the light. Who the hell is that?
‘Hey Vegeta! Whats up?’
Kakarot..figures.. of all people, why did this twit had to show up now and here. This is a really bad day.
‘Hey listen, I was getting a bit bored and no one seemed to be around so I figured to go by your house and see if you had something to do.’
Uh oh..
‘I was doing something indeed Kakarot.’
‘Really?’
I get pushed aside as he walks inside the house. One glance at the books lying around the couch, empty crisp bags and a remote tossed aside he turns and smiles at me. I hate that grin. It always means he is up to something.
‘Nah.. you were doing nothing. Can’t fool me Vegeta!
’
‘Stupid frickin ass..’
‘What did you say?’
‘Nothing, nothing.’ I grumble. Whatever.
‘Anyway, since you were doing nothing too.. perhaps..um..heh would you like to go the beach with me?’
‘Nani??’ Okay, I was fearing something but the beach is off course the only smart thing that brainless could come up with. Frying amongst those ningens. Now..really..
‘It’ll cool you off and besides, you need to get out of this house. You’ve been inside as long as I can remember.’
‘Noooo, really?’ I ask sarcastically. I know i’ve been inside for long but I have my reasons. Since Cell got fried and things went peacefull again there hasnt been anything exciting to do. I’m getting weak and feeble.. Hn, maybe a bit of swimming will train me a bit again.
‘Well you’ve been inside for at least 7 months now. Last time it was winter and you got beat up with snowballs. Remember that?’
There is that smile again. Yeah, I remember that. Icelumps stuffed up my ass so I was dumping avalanches for days in the toilet wasn’t exactly a great moment. Rrrrr.
‘You’re shivering! See? You need to get out soon. Come on Vegeta.. It’ll be fun.’
Great, a begging Kakarot. Fine then.
‘Okay, okay. I’ll go. But you better stay out of my way in the water, got that?’
‘Sure, whatever you say.’
That grin! Does this guy even have other facial expressions? I’m going to regret this..
‘Let me get my stuff okay?’
‘Sure.’
I walk upstairs and fumble in my closet. Something to swim in..hm.. I wonder if I even have such a thing. When i’m finished raging through the drawers it seems that i’ll have to borrow something of Trunks. The brat probably has something with all his beachparties he’s throwing. As I walk out the room I slightly notice the pile of colourfull clothes I left behind. the woman will clean them up or at least one of her droids.
Upon opening the door to Trunks’ room I almost trip over the heap of stuff, causing me to hit the closet right behind it with my bare feet. Sucking in air and taking a quick look at my now swollen toes. Itai.. I sound like a wuss. I open a door and find a whole heap of swimming gear. I fish out the top one and without looking I run down, grabbing a large towel on my way down from the bathroom. I refuse to bring any more stuff. Except for..hn.
‘Hey Vegeta, we have this game too but I can’t figure it out at all..’
Kakarot has switched on the gamecube, playing one of those easy games. Brainless.
‘Press this and then that. That way you can fight the characters and try to beat em up.’
He pushes some buttons and indeed, the character begins moving and attacks, only to be kicked off the edge again.
‘Darn… Hey saw that Marth and Link character? They are awesome! I love the way Marth flicks his hair back!’
‘Thats because you let them stand for ages without doing anything! Baka.’
‘We should play this game one time ‘geta. I’ll kick your ass!’
‘I’ve finished the whole game already. Tough luck if you can beat me.’
‘The whole game? Oi..well, anyway, i’ll kick your ass still.’
‘As if..’
I don’t even await his answer and turn to find my bag to put my stuff in and pack something to drink. Fridge is open. Not a good sign.
‘Oh, and I took something from your fridge! I was so hungry! Hope you dont mind!’
Only the first word was enough to make me realize he robbed the fridge. And when I open it I see nothing left and a very very full garbage can in the corner. At least he cleaned a bit. That guy is a tornado concerning food. Something is still lying at the bottom tho. Good. He left me something. Four beers, nice and cold. I toss them into my bag. As long as its fluid and cold it’ll work.
‘Kay, Im ready. Eh? Kakarot?’
Gone. Where did he go? I scan the house for any presence but he doesn’t seem to be here. I turn my head to look outside when a large rumbling soun swell from behind the house. A bright sky blue car pulls over in front, containing a very smiling Kakarot with sunglasses. It’s a classic car! With those wings at the back and large antennae behind. I grin, that fool always has a way with things. Well, he did make my day a bit more fun than it was before. But going out with that car? And with Kakarot? Or things are going to be a disaster or maybe this will be fun. Whatever. It sure beats sitting in that house.
And I instantly take that back when I step outside in the burning sun. Hot! Dont be such a sissy, you’ve handled a lot more than this.
‘So you seem to have a gotten a drivers license.’
‘Yeah, finally, cost me lost of zeni though. But take a look at what I got now!’
‘Hn, nice colour.’
‘Off course it is! I picked it out after all!’
He is too damn happy..
‘Let’s get this rust ball on the way then. The sooner we get there the better.’
‘Don’t be so grumpy! You’ll love it!’
Why did I ever consider going out with this lunatic.
I get thrown back in my seat as he floors the car, causing a huge noise obliterating my ears. I pull a painfull face as he speeds off to the beach, wind blowing in my face. Well, at least thats nice and cool. After a while I get used to the sound and Kakarot’s reckless driving, and I doze off in shallow slumber. Hn..these seats are nice…
‘Hey! Grumpy! Wake up and smell the sea!’
‘Hn?’
I open my eyes and see a grinning Kakarot right in my face.
‘Get that lazy ass out of the car and get swimming!’
Thats the last thing I need. A genki Kakarot telling me what to do and a beach filled with greasy fat sunbathing people.
‘Look at all the people here! This is going to be fun.’ He hops off, revealing a human filled beach. Told you so. I hate being right on these matters.
I crawl out of the car, burning my hand at the hot metal of the door. Obediently I follow him through the people. It seems like hours till he finds a spot that isnt filled with oily ningens and rubbish. When I put my bag down he is already fully dressed in a bright orange short and hopping from foot to foot, eager to get to the sea.
‘Hurry Vegeta!’
‘Yeah, yeah, give me a minute will you?’
Sheesh, impatient.. Blindly I quickly pull my own on. I need to get out of this heat now! I turn to lay down my towel when I hear a choked cackling sound behind me.
‘What?’
‘When did you buy that! I’ve got to get me one of those too!’
‘Of what?’i snarl at him. What is that baka talking about?
‘Of those…’ He snickers, pointing at my legs. I look down and see why he is laughing like that. Damn Trunks.. His so called ‘cool swimming shorts’ is a rediculous combination of purple hawaiian flowers, bright yellow and and awfull shiny green striped rim. I look up, how did I ever pick this thing of crap! *sigh* i’ll forbid that brat to buy such gay things. Latest fashion my ass.. I have to get to the water before anyone else notices it.
‘Hey Vegeta, I just talked to Yamcha, he and the others are coming over too!’
That does it! I have to get that water now and hide that hideous thing!
‘Hey not so fast! I cant keep up!’ I can only hear a fague voice when I speed off to the water.
I manage to shout out that Kakarot has to stay out of my way before I hit the water.
Finally the cool water engulves me and I sigh of relief. No one to see me in this outfit and all the coolness I want. I float around enjoying the water for a while when I hear no signs of Kakarot anymore. Where did that baka go now? He’d better not leave my stuff unprotected or i’ll kill him once and for all. I look up, almost takes a mouthfull of water. Cant stand here. No sign of that fool anywhere. Not at the food stands and worst of all, not at our place. I can already see people treading over my towel. Damn.
Just when I want to swim back and protect my stuff I feel a hand gripping my foot and I get pulled underwater. Angry at the attacker I already form the final flash attack, just before firing it I can vaguely make out a lot of black hair under water. What the f…Kakarot? Instead of firing it, I hit him right across his face and he lets go.
‘Owwww… What was that for?’
‘I told you to stay out of my way! Let alone scaring me like that. I almost killed you you numbnuts!’
‘Heh..jumpy eh? I guess you need more water to cool off with.’
There he goes. What was that about? Risking his life by scaring me and acting as if nothing happened? Baka. I’ll kill that fool one day.
I watch him swim away. look at that. How can a man so strong be so weak hearted. I dont get it. Look at those muscles, he is the ultimate battle machine but now he seems almost like a child. Delicate and unscarred. That smile.. innocent and sweet. That body, rippling with fluent energy, gracious and smooth. I hear his voice through the air, clear and bright. Heh. He’s not saiyan at all and still he makes me feel.. Eh? Did I just think that? The heat must be getting to me.. I dive under to get some coolness and to get my mind off that idiot.
After a while a walk back to the beach, absolutely thirsting for that cold beer I packed. The sand under my feet is burning hot and i’m glad to see someone has put his stuff behind ours with a windscreen. Great. Now we, I have some shadow. I’m going to like this outing. Wiping the sand of my towel I sit down with my beer and with a sigh I let the sleepy warm wind blow over me.
Hm..i close my eyes. Life is good sometimes. When I open them again I see a pretty purple haired young man walk past me. He smells like sea and a bit patchuli. I love that smell, thinking about that it makes me smile. I see the man swiftly run his eyes over my body, causing a slight sexy smile. I smile back. Damn, he would fit well with my shorts right now. He turns around, showing me his exquisite back, smoothly formed muscles underneath silky skin. Giving me one sweet smile he walks off, looking back once in a while. I suck in air at the sight of this man.
‘Sweeeeet.’ I mumble.
‘Sure is.’
I get freaked out of my boots as I feel a voice and an ice cold thing pressed against my back.
‘Still jumpy? I brought you an ice!’
i sigh. Figures. He hands me the ice-cream, dripping from the heat. He laps up the melted ice from his hands and his wrist. I cant help but watch that velvety tongue sweep out, licking the pink liquid of his skin. Quickly I turn around, paying a lot of attention to my ice-scream, ignoring the hot flush sweeping over my face. I can feel Kakarots eyes bruning holes in my back as he turns to sit beside me. I finish the ice-cream far to soon and almost choke in it. Damn Kakarot..
‘You look all red Vegeta.’
‘I do?’ I sheepishly reply. Off course I do..
‘You’re getting all burned. Wait.’
He turns around and with his free hand he holds out a bottle of sun-block. I swallow when I realise what he wants.
‘Want me to rub your back for you?’ He says with a grin.
Why did I know what he was going to say? He’s just making matters worse with that.
‘No! Eh..i don’t think that is necessary. It’s just the heat. Don’t worry, I wont burn.’
‘In that case, want to rub my back then? I can’t reach it..’
As if that makes things easier for me! Refusing seems odd though so I accept and after two large bites his ice is gone and he turns on his back, a sly smile around his lips.
I squeeze a bit of the creamy cold fluid into my palm and start rubbing my hands together. with a splashing sound I put my hands on his back. The heat of his skin under my hands is already making me flush red, good thing he is looking the other way. He looks so helpless right now, he surrenders himself to me like this. He knows that with only a small movement I can make a hole in his back and kill him. Why is he doing that? Why does he trust me this much? I dont understand it, this trust.
‘Vegeta, get on with it before we have to go back and the sun is down.’
‘Yeah, sorry.’ I snap out of my thoughts.
I try to get my mind blank again and it works, for a few minutes.. Velvet skin, hot of the sun, smooth muscles moving under my hands. His scent mingling with sun-block is filling my head, making me crazy. At that moment he chooses to moan and compliment me with my professional hands. I turn my head away and my eyes search for a thing to distract me from this..this feeling. I groan when he moves and wriggles under my hands. Damn! I cant take this any longer! I can’t possibly be falling for this idiot, this..this brainless fool.
‘Strange ne Vegeta? Two full-blooded saiyans, the last ones left, on a beach with so many ningens and going for one of them, doing like them and such. It feels strange, human, but also saiyan. Especially when you’re around.’
‘Hn.’
He’s right. He still is saiyan. He may not show but he sure knows how to work that body of his, even tho he’s probably not even aware of it. That damn saiyan blood.. When he lets out a soft groan again I finish my work quickly. Staying longer with this man, rubbing his back will only make things worse. I look down at my pants. Seeing from this point of few, things are already worse. I take off to the see, mumbling something about wanting to swim. I can vaguely hear him say something but what I couldn’t make out. As long as i’m away from there. I need cold water now!
After a while I resurface quite far from the shore. The water is nice and cold enough here to shrink my..er..parts to the size of nothing. I slowly swim back again to the shore, where I can see people walking around the size of ants. Maybe I got a little bit too far. The salt water is biting in my eyes, I want my beer. But that means getting back to Kakarot. Just keep cool, you’re good at that, I mumble to myself. When I get closer I vaguely make out the purple haired bishonen I saw earlier. He’s not sitting too far from us. I smile. That boy will take my mind off of Kakarot for a while. Convident enough to head back I start swimming faster.
‘Where do you think you are running off to pally?’
I yelp at the sudden voice and turn around to see a dripping Kakarot in front of me. He looks at me with a face that seems to have bad news written all over it.
‘What is it Kakarot.’ I blurt out.
‘You.’
I feel my face slowly flush red by the way he is looking at me. Those large eyes staring in mine, grinning at me. The softness of his seems strange, sweet almost. His hands gripping my shoulders, holding on without bruising me for once. What is it he wants? Can’t he see that he is making me nervous like this?
‘What about me..’
‘You ran away so sudden, I wondered if there was something wrong with you.’
‘Nothing is wrong.’I bite back at him.
‘Really?’
‘Really..’
‘Really really?’
‘Stop that.’
‘Stop what?’ he asks with a grin. His hands are sliding down to my sides, moving his fingers up and down rapidly. I can’t stand this! I can feel the urge of smiling and laughing out loud when I and by body realizes he is tickling me. Trying to look grumpy I stand my ground of being my old cool self.. Oh man..no use.. A smile breaks through my mask like sunlight, and within seconds i’m laughing out loud. Fighting with his hands to get those raging fingers of my ribs and making me look like a schoolgirl, I take refuge in speeding off. I can just feel smooth hands trying to grip my legs. When I look behind I can see a smiling Kakarot following me right behind.
Playing like little kids we fight and swim our way to a small island a little off-shore, too far enough for any humans to be around. We are almost equal in strength, so he is just right behind. When I turn to look where he is now, I see him with a scared look on his face. I grin, am I going to fast for him this time? That would be big news.. I can do nothing but smile at him when I see him scream for me. What could possibly happen out here. Fool.
‘Vegeta look out!’
Everything turns black.
Damn..i hate this.. I slowly open my eyes, instantly closing them in pain. It feels as if something has split my skull open. Groaning I lift my hand to feel behind my head and when I pull it back I see it is stained with a ruby red substance. Blood. Damn! What did I do..
‘Easy..don’t try to get up yet, it’ll only make the pain worse..’
A soft voice.. I try to open my eyes again, only to be blinded by the fierce sunlight and that bursting pain, causing little black dots to dance before my eyes.
‘You hit a rock quite bad. Try to lay still, I’ll make something to soothe your pain.’
The dots vanish a bit as I get used to the light. A tall figure is hovering above me, smelling and sounding like Kakarot.
‘Dont be silly, i’m not a wuss..’ Unfortunately, sitting up makes me only more dizzy and I feel myself slowly slipping away again.
‘I don’t care, just be calm okay? The last thing we need is a stubborn prince fading out and in all the time. I’m getting tired of explaining you what happened all the time.’
I groan. I’m really out of shape.. Can’t be helped. I give in to his advice and lay down again, letting him take care of the wound on the back of my head, cleaning it with a prickly substance.
It feels strange like this, so helpless. A senzu would have fixed it in no time but who would ever know I would my head this hard. I close my eyes and let the pain wash over me, I can take it.. The strange liquid Kakarot is using is numbing me and almost makes makes me doze off in a black sleep. Just when i’m about to fade out again I feel a soft hand on my cheek, tilting my head to the side.
‘Hey.. You alright?’
Two bright eyes stare at me when I open my eyes and I suddenly feel surprisingly better.
‘Yeah, it feels better..a lot better.’
I try to get up again a bit, apparently surprising Kakarot as I see two wide open eyes looking at me. When I shift into a more comfortable sit, I look up at him. He’s still staring. Why is he doing that? I must be feeling a lot better, since the blood in the back of my head has now found a way to flow to my face. I blush heavily, especially when I realize that his face is close, very close to mine. I turn my eyes away from his gaze, almost freezing when I feel that hand again on my face, stroking it. His expression turns to a more serious one when he inspects an apparent wound on one of my eyebrows.
That touch.. that almost hot hand on my face. I can’t help it but feel my heart pounding like mad. I panic a little. It is nothing, really nothing. He is just checking out my wounds. Nothing else. Damn! Why do I feel so weird then? Why is he making me feel like a giggling schoolgirl on her first date? It couldn’t be that i...no...not possible! I cant possibly be in love with this..this fool? Me, the prince of saiyans and this low class soldier. No! Never, it wasnt meant to be like this. It is just my imagination running wild by the heat and the numbness of that wound. It isnt real. Just my imagination...just my imagination....
At that moment I feel a soft breath roll over my face, a soft, warm tongue licking my lips. I freeze in surprise and look up to see Kakarot hovering over my mouth, eyes closed. He is so close to me that I can almost feel his heart beat raging mad, just like mine. My mind betrays me just right then..
‘What are you waiting for...’, I whisper.
His eyes snap open and gaze at mine, full of doubt. I look back at him, surprised that I just said that, but strangely content with it. I must be getting mad, but hell, please make me mad like this.
My eyes slide close, waiting for an angry reply. I can’t be serious..he is married, has two sons. I’m such a.. hn..
Suddenly I feel his soft, sweet lips hesitantly slide over mine. I do nothing to stop him, apparently making him more convident as he suddenly kisses me a bit harder. I move my hand behind his head, pulling him closer, enjoying every moment. How I have been wanting this. I flick out my tongue, letting it slide into his half-open lips. When he opens his mouth to welcome it eagerly I feel my heart almost explode out of my chest, sending my blood on fire. That velvet tongue sweeps over mine, fighting it. The taste of his mouth is making me crazy..sweet like honey with a hint of pure lust. A low purr escapes his chest when the kiss gets deeper and more fierce. I can do nothing but grin. I never knew..that it could be like this..with him..like this..
We slide back to the soft sand, small spots of shades playing over our bodies. We roll over and over in a frenzy to get control over the other. I finally end up lying below him. He is smiling at me, no need for words right now.. He is covered in a light hue of sweat, making him smell almost pure saiyan. I can do nothing but stare at him, taking in his scent, feeling those warm strong muscles covered with a skin as soft as silk. I let my head fall back..so pretty.. My moment of awe is suddenly disturbed when he leans back to me, taking me in for another mind blowing kiss. His hand slowly moves down to my shorts, sliding inside it after hesitating a moment. Hn.. I could die right here and now just by that heated touch. As his head moves down, licking my stomach, his hands sliding down my pants I tilt my head. I can vaguely see the people on the beach far away and grin... This day finally proved its worth..
Finally..
At the beach a red haired lady sits with a huge pair of binoculars watching the small island. A small can of beer is handed to her.
‘And?’
‘Heh..told you so. You owe me 20 bucks Yamcha.’
‘Let me see.. no wait, forget it.’
‘Hn..that is one nice piece of nice..’
‘Let me see!’
‘No way! This far to entertaining,’ she says with a sly smile,’ besides you have have your own koi to look at. Just put a mirror in your bedroom and you’ll have plenty to look at Goten.’
‘No fair.’
‘No i’m not.. but its worth it.’ She says grinning. Suddenly something makes her turn red as a boiled lobster. Hiding the binoculars from everybody else, she whips out her sketchbook, making a few swift sketches. Satisfied with the results she packs her stuff and turns too leave.
‘Leaving us so soon?’
Turning to the large grumpy green man she sighs.
‘Yeah, I have..um..things to attend to. Bye!’
Hopping over red burned people and some playboys she dissappears out of sight.
‘Hey Yamcha, who was that?’
‘Dunno, she said she was a friend of Vegeta’s. Can you hand me one of those beers Vegeta left behind?’
‘Sure. Hey. Where did they go? You got them Goten?’
‘No not yet, you guys were so fast. Let me see.’
‘Nothing to see, the bag is empty.’
With a wondering face they turn to goku’s bag. Turning the bag upside down, nothing falls out, except an extra towel and a huge packed lunch.
‘Nope, gone.’
‘Thats strange, I remember seeing one left. I’ll go buy some, be right back.’
‘Hey guys...where are goku’s car keys?’
Pulling a tracking device from her pocket, the red haired woman grins evily, the small blue dots close together on a certain small island.
‘Heh..this fun.’
A small laughing can just be heard before she speeds of in a wave of heavy music in a bright blue car.

Have you ever had that feeling that you want to go to the beach but instead have to finish reports or something like that? Well, that's what I head when I wrote this. When our meager summer left the country and the last day of sun spent her last rays on the dunes, I was sitting inside with my computer working my ass off. And then the mind simply does crazy stuff, like, in this case, what would happen if two saiyans went to the beach. Answer: this.. well, that's what I made of it *sweatdrops*. It felt better having written the fic, feeling all ready to go to the beach! And then the sun simply left and I got stuck with autumn hurricanes and lots of cold rain *shivers* reading it back tho, makes me feel all happy and sunny again! As if I've been playing too much Mario Sunshine! ^_^
No Beta-ing here either.. She never read it, so again, probably quite some mistakes, sorry bout that..
And try to remember that last part if you're going to read Dangerous Games *grins* I'll explain it laters! *waves*
