You stood there, arms crossed over your chest as you watched your two friends fight. Their rivalry was quite petty to you, you found it to be quite irritating, honestly. How come they were fighting now? Oh, nothing outside of the normal. Just...

"She was MINE from the moment I saw her! You, a low class saiyan warrior, do not deserve her!" Vegeta howled, slamming the heel of his foot down on Goku's back. Goku's face was practically unreadable as he took the hit. He began to chuckle, and you found yourself taking a few more steps back. 'What is wrong with them?" Goku straightened himself up, looking up at Vegeta, who hovered in the air motionlessly. There was a moment of heavy tension, it was so thick that you could've punctured it with a blunt object.

Goku's voice was uncharacteristically venomous as he began to speak. "Yours? You have no right to claim her. Who says she'd even want to be anywhere near you? All you do is talk about (Y/n) like she is some trophy. She is supposed to be our friend, Vegeta." You felt a chill go down your spine. You wanted to appreciate Goku standing up for you, but his voice was so sinister, you weren't sure how to feel or what to think.

"Kakarot... Don't talk bullshit like that. I know you desire her almost as much as I do!" Vegeta descended, and grabbed Goku's gi in both of his hands, balling up his fists into the fabric. He snarled at Goku, who just stared emotionlessly back. Something was incredibly off. So, so incredibly off. You turned and began to flee.

"Look what you did. You scared her off. See, this is why she'd never want to be with you." Goku tore Vegeta's hands off of his gi, and pushed him back slightly. He stared at Vegeta for a moment. "Let's go get her back. Together. We've fought together for years. One more time?" He finally began to show emotion, in the form of a crooked smile.

Vegeta stared back, narrowing his eyes. He held out his hand. "One more time." They shook on it, and sprung into the air. The ground beneath them tore with the brute force of their jump, and off they went.

You ran through the woods, hearing the crashing noises behind you. 'Fuck fuck fuck fuck,' you thought, trying desperately to keep yourself from making too much noise as you ran. You were incredibly fast, and you were nimble. You weren't sure how long you'd be able to stay away from them, and that terrified you. You didn't know what exactly was occuring, but you wanted no part in it. You had no feelings for either, none that you acknowledged anyway. And Vegeta's pining definitely didn't help that. But Goku... What was wrong with him back there? That was horrific to witness. It was painfully out of character.

You saw a town up ahead, and had never felt so happy to see the familiar place. You quickly looked behind you, before pushing your body to move faster. Just as you were nearing the exit of the forest, you heard a faint noise. You whipped around, and there the two were, hovering right above you. "...Hey, guys?" You said, giving a small smile and a wave. You could feel yourself trembling. You felt absolutely trapped, and were desperately trying to keep your composure. Your (e/c) eyes darted between the two, who descended to stand in close proximity to you.

"(Y/n)," Vegeta began, from his spot in front of you. Goku was behind you as he spoke, and you kept your gaze between the two as best as you could. They felt like two wolves, toying with smaller prey. You hated feeling like that.

"Guys, cut it out. You're freaking me the hell out, c'mon," you chuckled as you said this, becoming more panicky.

"Listen, for a second, will you? Don't be insolent." Vegeta rolled his eyes, before refocusing his gaze on you. "You're fine. We're not doing anything, now are we? Anyway, I..."

"Vegeta, you gotta listen to what she says. If she says we're being freaky, then we gotta make her feel more comfortable. Oh! I know!" Goku's chipper voice cut through Vegeta's set tone. The saiyan royalty glared at him as he spoke, and you darted your vision between the two of them. "Let's go to your house!"

"What?" You spoke without thinking. You paused for a moment, tapping your foot on the ground. "Uh... Yeah, sure." Goku visibly lit up.

"Great!" And with that, he scooped you into his arms and blasted off, finding your house within moments. Vegeta's angry growl was audible behind you, and he followed with haste. Once you arrived at your house, Goku didn't put you down. He walked into your house, no hesitation.

"I thought my door was locked?"

"Nope! You should work on that, people are gonna be able to come getcha if you don't!" Goku giggled as he spoke, finally setting you down on your couch. he hadn't turned on any of the lights, and yet he didn't bump into anything. The room was basically pitch black, too. You found Goku's shift in attitude incredibly startling.

"So... Someone gonna turn on a light?"

"No need." Vegeta responded to your inquiry, and you heard your door slam, and click locked. That made you panic a bit more. 'I physically cannot fight these two and win. What the hell do I do?!' You squirmed on the couch a bit. Vegeta's footsteps approached you. "Listen up, now. I don't care how you feel about me. You're going to be by my side for the rest of my life, whether you like it or not. It's not often one finds people as astounding as you."

Goku pushed Vegeta by his face. "Geez, you can't even make it sound lighthearted?" He turned back to you. "Well, (Y/n), looks like you're stuck with the both of us! Don't worry, we'll take such amazing care of you, you'll have a great time! You could train with us, we could go everywhere together, all kinds of stuff! Doesn't that sound nice?" You pressed your body as far back into the couch as you could.

"Oh, yeah, (Y/n)? You don't have to like it. If you resist, try to run away? We'll kill everyone you ever loved. Well, less Kakarot, but I'm sure if you fucked up enough, he'd join in too." Vegeta's voice taunted you, and you felt tears spring to your eyes. You could practically see his pearly white teeth gleam in a grin, and you pressed your hands to your lips. You stifled a sobbing noise, and Goku immediately turned his attention to you.

"Vegeta! Don't talk like that!" He didn't deny Vegeta's words. Goku was supposed to be your friend. Vegeta was supposed to be your friend.

"Why-" you choked out another sob, "Why?! Why me? What the hell?!" You began to cry more, body shaking as you wailed. You just lost everything. Your independence. Your life. Your friends, your family, your comfort, your everything. All because of two stupid alien men who apparently needed you more than you were ever aware. Couldn't be two weak alien men, oh no, it had to be some of the universe's strongest. You were so focused on sobbing, and beginning to grieve your entirety of your life as it was ripped away from you, that you initially didn't notice Vegeta staring at you. He seemed like he was in thought. He reached over, patted your head, and walked into the kitchen, flicking on the kitchen's light behind him.

"Hey, we're sorry it came to this. But, we... can't lose you. Both of us have already lost too much. Don't worry though. Life... will be okay. You're gonna be okay." Goku's voice was soft, and he gave you a light pat on the back. He then gave you your space, as you cried your eyes out. You didn't believe a damn word he said.
