Goku smiled at his friends, everyone cheering and smiling as Earth's hero was brought back to life. Some were crying, some were laughing, and some were just having a good time.

But only one stood across the lookout, glaring and grumpy.

Vegeta exhaled sharply, a pit of jealousy forming in his stomach. He watched the celebration from the safety and tranquility of the lonely tree he was leaning on.

Goku saw the grumpy saiyan all alone, he waved, but his friendly gestures were ignored. His smile saddened, and he continued to celebrate with the rest of his friends.

"Chichi?" Goku called. "Did you do something with one of my gi's? He asked, his favorite gi missing from the closest.

"No, Goku. They're all there, just like you left 'em." She called back from the kitchen.

Goku's brows furrowed. Where could he have left them? Goku backtracked his memory. Where was he before he died? Goku's eyes widened as he remembered changing at Bulma's house before going into battle.

Goku walked into the kitchen and gave Chichi a one-armed hug. "Chichi, I'm gonna head to Bulma's house real quick to pick up some stuff."

"Make sure you're back before supper. You know how you get when you miss a meal, and I don't want you going to bed hungry, you understand?" Chichi pecked him on the cheek before turning back to the dishes.

"Yes, I'll won't be long anyway." Goku smiled and put two finger to his head.

He ITed to Capsule Corp, and headed inside, waving happily to the workers outside with a wide smile on his face.

He saw Panchy walking by and quickly got her attention. "Hey, Panchy? Do you know if vegeta's here? He's been masking his energy since I was brought back to life."

Panchy held her hand to her mouth in shock, "oh Dear, what a shame.. Yes he's here, upstairs in his room, why?"

Goku began making his way upstairs toward Vegeta's room, "I left my gi here it might be in his room, but I know he'll be mad if I go in there without his permission. Heh heh." He scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Oh my. I hope you find everything you need, Deary." She smiled before continuing what she was doing.

Goku knocked on Vegeta's door, he a small struggle before he heard an allowance of entry. He opened the door and saw Vegeta's hunched form facing away from him. "You okay, bud?" He leaned over to see Vegeta's face, but his hands were covering it.

Goku noticed how red Vegeta's ears were. What had just happened?

"Hey, I think I left my gi here from when I changed before the fight, have you seen it?" He waited patiently for a response from the older saiyan.

"You left it over there." He jerked his thumb back before hiding his face again.

Goku looked where he was pointing. Just as Vegeta said his gi, weighted gi, belt, and gi pants were messily tossed by the night stand. He grabbed his gi spoke again, "I don't.. I don't remember leaving these he-"

He froze as he put two and two together.

His own face turned pink and Vegeta's ears glowed a bright red. "You..were..? "

He cleared his throat. "Were you smelling my clothes?" He stared back at gi and noticed dried tear stains, and he could smell Vegeta's scent all over his gi.

He looked back at Vegeta who glared at him angrily and embarrassed. "Get out. You got your shit, now get out." He spoke threateningly, before turning back around. Goku looked at gi, then back at Vegeta.

"What the-?!" Vegeta growled as something was thrown at him. He snatched it, only to realize it was Goku's orange shirt.

"What the fu..?" He swiveled his head to look at Goku, who was walking out the door.

"Your secret's safe with me." He closed the door.

Vegeta sat alone in his thoughts, his hands trembling, his mind racing. What would he do if this got out to everyone else? He'd rot in a ditch that's what he'd do!

He made a face of self pity. 'Second worse day ever.."

Vegeta snuggled closer into the orange gi, burying his nose in it, inhaling the musky scent.

"You still have that thing?" Goku joked, wrapped his arm around Vegeta's body and getting into a comfortable position.

Vegeta scoffed sarcastically as he patted the shirt, "These bad boys got me through the tough times."

Goku let out a long, exaggerated "wow" as he laughed softly. He exhaled deeply, "I remember when I first gave that to you."

"Oh my god.." Vegeta said dramatically as he rolled his eyes. "You'd been dead for too long and I missed you. I admitted that a long time ago, and I was desperate."

Goku chuckled, "I could tell." He cackled when Vegeta only gave him a side eye and the middle finger.

"Go to bed you fuckin assmuncher."

"Ah, ah, ah." Goku corrected, "two dollars in dah tip jar.

Vegeta groaned, he got himself more comfortable, "I will if you remember in the morning. Now go to bed."
