Down the rabbit hole

Chapter 9 - Push and pull

Two men walked side by side through the dimly lit alleys of the village. Raditz said nothing, the moment from earlier still grinding in his mind. Had Nappa seen them? How could he have been so stupid. "Handsome? Everything okay?" the charming Malbec looked at his Saiyan lover. Raditz tried to look brave "yes of course". Malbec grabbed him by the wrist "don't lie to me Raditz". The normally so charming lieutenant suddenly looked serious.

Raditz said nothing he just stared at the other man next to him, Malbec pulled him up with him and they flew into the air. With great speed they arrived at the palace. They landed on his balcony and Malbec pushed open the door. Together they walked into Malbec's room and Raditz dropped against a wall and buried his face in his hands and muttered "how could I have been so careless". Raditz felt two hands being placed on his shoulders and a forehead against his. He had never felt panic like this before.

Softly the Waino whispered "it will be fine handsome, really. He didn't see anything, we were gone too fast." Raditz lowered his hands and shook his head. He suddenly stood straight up and walked further into the room. "He called our names, he saw us Mal." The lieutenant walked after his lover "maybe, but he was drunk, who will ever believe him?" Raditz searched for words but could not find them, his lover grabbed his with two hand around his cheeks "please calm down Raditz, he is drunk and we were too fast. It will be alright my love". Raditz rested his head against Malbec's shoulder and wrapped his arms around his waist.

There was silence in the room, Malbec's word calmed Raditz a bit down. The men searched each other's lips and sank into an intimate kiss. Gently making out they walked slowly towards the bed, in a low tone Raditz let out a groan. Malbec looked at him with a smile and as they kissed, he unbuttoned his jacket and let it fall to the floor. Raditz blushed as he looked at the half-naked man in front of him. His toned abs and tanned skin were perfect. A tattoo ran along his side to his back. Raditz had never admired a man's body like this before.

For a moment Raditz gasped, Malbec let a finger slide across the Saiyan's chest "Do you like what you see?" But Raditz couldn't utter anything and the lieutenant took charge. He pushed up Raditz's armor and it fell down beside them. The half naked men drew toward each other again for a somewhat more passionate kiss as before. Together they fell onto the bed. Raditz allowed himself to be led into a new experience together with his charming lover.

Meanwhile, the commotion in the tavern had swayed. Nappa sat sulking at the bar and Vegeta looked back to see Vino talking to some big rough woman. Shaking his head, Vegeta came to sit next to Nappa. Nappa put down his carafe of wine and looked at his prince with irritation. "What, I don't see things that aren't there Nappa" the prince was a bit angry at his right-hand man. How could have he be so stupid, it surprised him every time. The great warrior said nothing back. Then Vegeta felt a hand on his lower back and next to him a captain had come to stand and winked at him.

A high-pitched cheerful scream suddenly drew attention. The full woman from earlier had moved next to Nappa and ordered a large carafe of wine. The full woman cast a glance at Nappa "Oh Marsanne, this handsome man is paying". Nappa sat up straighter and grabbed the woman by her wrist. The woman looked tipsy cheerful and mischievous. Nappa grabbed the carafe of wine and took a sip. The woman pushed him back onto the bar-stool. Vegeta looked away, he wasn't so sure he wanted to see this.

"What have you done?" whispered Vegeta to Vino. The captain giggled while looking at Nappa and the woman next to them, she brought her lips to Vegeta's ear "oh well let them enjoy themselves, just wait until he gets the bill tomorrow morning". Vegeta who just took a sip of wine almost choked and in between coughing he softly asked in surprise "is she a whore?" Vino rolled her eyes and smacked her hand on his knee "we call that a prostitute here, my prince we are a bit more proper than that".
