The boy in the dream

||Continuation of Kosanai||

Vegeta woke up with a jolt and gasp. He panted trying to catch his breath, when he felt eyes on him. He looked around the room, nothing. He looked down at Goku, nothing. There was nothing out of the ordinary.

Then Vegeta remembered something from his dream, the reason he awoke so early in the morning. He reached into one of the drawers of his nightstand, hands frantically scrambling around until it reached what it was seeking.

He pulled out an old sketchbook or journal of some sort. He flipped through its pages until he stopped at a certain page. Said page was halfway filled with sketches of limbs and the title "The boy in the reacurring dream"

Vegeta dug deep into his memory as he drew the face he had remembered seeing. The face seemed familiar but he couldn't pinpoint who it was.

He looked down at the drawing, and let out a desperate sigh as it didn't quite look like the boy. He tried again, receiving the same results. He tried again, and again, and again, only succeeding in frustrating himself and ripping the page out. He threw his hands into his hair and tugged on it letting out a silent cry of frustration. He looked around the room again, swearing yo himself that someone was watching him, but no one was there.

Vegeta let his eyes drift down to the balled up paper he ripped out of his book. He gently unraveled it and glared at the faces he had attempted to match the one he had seen, though none of them did. He huffed as his memory of the facial features had faded to the basic shape of the head.

That's when he noticed it.

He snapped his head up to see the bathroom light flickering. Then it stopped and the door slowly started to open by itself, creaking loudly as it did.

"Hell no. Fuck that!" Vegeta muttered to himself in shock.

He dove under the covers and curled into his Goku, his big burly mate wrapping their limbs around him. He felt safe and secure in that hold, but he was too stunned to sleep. He never believed in ghosts, ghosts weren't real. That was just a coincidence, he'd fall asleep and everything would be back to normal.

'Everything will be back to normal in the morning. Everything will be back to normal in the morning. Everything will be back to normal in the morning.' He chanted to himself until his eyes grew heavy, and even then he didn't stop. Next thing he knew-

"Geets! Geets wake up!" Goku shook his unconscious mate until he finally received a grunt, signalling he was heard.

"You awake Geets?" Goku helped his old lover sit up.

"There's something in the bathroom I think you should see." Goku saw the anxious and concerned look on Vegeta's face, perhaps he had another nightmare?

Vegeta got out of the bed and rushed into the bathroom, a face slightly similar to his own painted on the mirror with toothpaste.

"That was it. That was the face!" Vegeta grinned over at Goku, "That's the boy in the dream!"

I feel slightly accomplished with this, but then I realize that I still have to update on other books and wanna cry. Besides that I'm doing pretty good, I'm going to the gym every other week and learning Spanish. Life goals🥲👍
