Goku squinted his eyes as a bright light awoke him. He blinked a few times, the digits on the clock and smell of cologne finally registering.

Vegeta was getting ready for work.

He rolled onto his back and noticed the light in the bathroom on. He saw how dark it was outside. Suddenly heard the door to the bathroom door swing open and Vegeta rushed out, he quickly opened a drawer and rustled through it before standing up. He slipped his gloves on, making his way into the walk-in closet he came out with a bag which he took into the bathroom.

Goku listened with his eyes closed to the rustling of pills in containers and a few making it into the bag. He heard footsteps trail from the bathroom to right beside him.

Vegeta took one of the chargers plugged behind the night stand and put it in the bag next to his prescriptions and reading glasses. He zipped the bag and turned to his husband.

"I know you're not asleep." He rolled his eyes at the smirk he received in response.

"And what if I was?" Goku asked, eyes still closed.

"You wouldn't. You wake up right before I leave for work like clockwork."

"Damn, am I really that predictable?" Goku smiled as Vegeta leaned in to give him a long, sweet kiss.

"I've gotta go, I'm going to be late." He warned.

"What difference is a few minutes going to make? You get there an hour early every day." Goku grinned, stealing another kiss.

"A lot if something comes up or I miss the hot breakfast." Vegeta gave one last kiss before pulling away.

"I still don't get that. Dinner for breakfast? Hehehe I love you!" He shouted as the other walked out the door.

"I love you too!" He heard echo back before the front door closed.

Goku finished making dinner, making two large plates and putting the extra in a container. "Phew" He said, wiping his forehead as he heard keys jiggling outside. He jumped a bit as the door burst open, turning to say hello he was greeted grumpily by his angry husband.

"Bad day, I assume?" Goku asked as he watched as Vegeta tidied up his hair and took of his work clothes, setting his work gloves to the side.

"No. Today was fan-fucking-tastic. Best day of my life! I'm so happy right now." He glared at Goku as he spoke with a sarcastic tone.

"I'm guessing something dumb happened? Again?" Goku walked over to the table with the two plates in his hands.

He smiled sympathetically at Vegeta, who laid his head on the table. "Yeah. I'm just tired.."

Goku walked back into the kitchen to quickly rinse of the dishes, before coming back to the table. "As expected from someone who works over time every day."

"Don't forget my day off."

"Right. And that you come in on your day off a lot of the time." Goku's smile faltered as he saw firsthand Vegeta's exhaustion.

"Hey, maybe you should take tomorrow off. We're not going to struggle or anything." He rubbed Vegeta's back gently as he pulled Vegeta's plate closer.

"If I don't go to work I'm not getting paid. That's less money on the table." He stared at the plate of food.

"Eat, I know you haven't eaten since breakfast."

Vegeta sighed, sitting up straight. "I don't.. I don't want anything bad to happen."

"Nothing bad will happen, I promise. I know you don't like missing work because of your father's income as a kid, but we're both working and have no kids. We'll be fine, baby." He kissed Vegeta's ear.

"I don't know.." Vegeta picked up his fork but didn't start eating yet.

"I'll pick up an extra shift if it makes ya feel better, I'm sure my boss has plenty of work." Goku began to eat his food, hoping it would encourage his husband.

Vegeta also began to eat, ".. I'll work a normal shift tomorrow, maybe get off early, that way we'll still get something."

Goku wasn't happy that Vegeta was still overworking himself, but was pleased that Vegeta was taking his concern into consideration. "That works for me."

After they finished, Vegeta put on the yellow cleaning gloves and washed their dishes along with the rest of the pile on the counter. Goku watched from the living room, before returning his focus to the TV.

"How about a horror movie?"

"Hell no."

Goku chuckled to himself, "how about Romance?" He laughed quietly at Vegeta's gagging noises.

"Okay okay, uhmm. What about comedy?" Before Vegeta could answer Goku gasped, "Oh I know what we're watching!"

Vegeta looked over from the dish he was in the process of washing, "what?"

"A Disney movie!"

Vegeta let out an exaggerated groan, "really? We're gonna watch a movie with a bunch of pretty colors and singing every five minutes?"

Goku looked over at Vegeta, "you got a problem with pretty colors and singing?"

"Yeah. Pretty colors and singing. Not my thing." Vegeta dried the last dish and put it away. He unplugged the disposal, allowing the dirty dish water to drain.

Goku hummed quietly to himself as Vegeta took off the cleaning gloves and apron.

"I still don't understand why you wear that silly little thing."

"It's not silly! It keeps me clean whilst I clean!" Vegeta huffed as he sat beside Goku. "And I'm surprised you haven't fucked me in this yet." He smirked as Goku choked on air.

"What?!"

"You know what, you used to be a fuckin' animal." He sighed as he cuddled with Goku. "So? What are we watching?"

Goku smiled a bit as he pulled Vegeta close, "The Princess and the Frog."

"Ugh, a princess movie."

"A princess movie for my princess. Ack!" Goku grinned after Vegeta punched him in the gut.

"Just start the damn thing."

"You've heard of Louis Armstrong. Mr.Sidney Bechet? All those boys gonna step aside, when they hear this old ex-gator play."

Goku nodded his head to the beat of the music, humming the lyrics quietly. He pet Vegeta's hair, smiling at the sleeping man.

Goku let the movie play, knowing that of he turned it off Vegeta would wake up. He couldn't help but stare at the sleeping face half buried into his shoulder. He pulled the blanket more onto them and kissed Vegeta's forehead.

"I love you."

I got the idea at first because I have had a really bad sleep schedule since the incident with my bio mom. And when I would visit my dad I'd wake up in the middle of the night to smell his cologne and hear the shower. Or sometimes I'd hear him walk pass my door and there would be a lingering scent of it. Or sometimes he knew I was awake and came to tuck me in again. Idk, those are just some of my memories since my dad worked at like midnight. He still does.

Also if you couldn't tell The Princess and the Frog is my favorite Disney princesses movie. The songs are just 👌.
