"So I have a question." Vegeta began, yelling as he hugged his knees while wind howled against his ear.

"Yeah?" Goku shouted back, grinning as he watched the road ahead of them.

"Why are we outside in the back?!" The smaller male assumed the moment he grabbed a jacket he'd be in the passenger seat while they took the truck towards the sunflower field. He never expected to meet Bardock outside, nor did he expect to be picked up and thrown onto the back of the truck with his lover.

"Oh! Well, I don't really know." The taller male sat beside him, his grin never leaving his face. "But mom wanted sunflower seeds so dad had to get them!"

"To plant them in the fields now? Kakarot winter's in two- no, three months! What's the point in planting those now?" The flame-haired boy looked in front of him and tried to see the road behind the dust. For a moment, he thought he saw a green man wearing white clothes in the distance. Vegeta blinked for a bit and saw nothing again, shrugging it off as a hallucination.

But something told him he was wrong.

"Oh, well I don't know about the fields, but the seeds aren't for them." Goku gripped one hand to the edge of the vehicle as they took a sharp turn while he quickly grabbed his little lover with the other. "We roast them and eat 'em."

"Ah," Vegeta glanced behind them, looking at the older male behind the window. When he was sure his eyes were only on the road, he leaned his head on the taller male's shoulder. "Why not buy them in stores then?"

"Because they're cheaper here!" The two sensed the truck slowing down and the flame-haired boy stood up abruptly. "Ah, 'Geta you might wanna sit back down."

"Why-" He didn't finish when he felt his body jerk over and fall face first onto the cold metal. He quietly groaned and cradled his nose, tears welling up in his eyes. So that's why he had to stay down. The truck floor was hard as hell. He wouldn't be surprised if he broke his nose.

"Are you okay?!" Goku leaned over, panicking while his father laughed at the sight. He helped sit up the smaller male and tried to look at his nose. He only got a few grumbles and weak shoves. "'Geta, I need to see how bad it is."

Vegeta put his hand down and revealed a red, swollen nose. He sniffed weakly and glowered at the older male outside the truck, who wouldn't stop laughing at him. "Fuck you."

Bardock wiped his tears and waved the insult off, still chuckling. "Let's go already. Mr. Shen isn't a patient man, you know that." The two got off, with Goku continuously trying to check the smaller male's nose. He failed every time, but he still tried. The three made their way to the house nearby as someone walked out.

"There you are!" An old, croaky voice yelled at the trio. "I was wondering when you were getting here."

"Mr. Shen, nice to see you again." Vegeta stared at an old man, with grey hair that spread and curled at the sides, and the most ugliest hat ever. Who thinks a swan head looks cool to wear? Wrinkles covered every inch of his face, while hollow eyes remained hidden behind a pair of sunglasses.

Shen huffed and shook his head. "I don't care. Take what you need and get out! Remember to pay your amount fully as well!"

"We always do, Mr. Shen." Goku sighed and headed to the back of the house to get his seeds. He grabbed the flame-haired boy's hand and ignored the snarky comments the frail man yelled out at them.
