Rivals Love

Nosy Krillan an Gohan

Krillan turned to Gohan.
"Is it just me, or have those two been acting very strange?" he said in a hushed tone. Gohan nodded.
"I've noticed it too," he said. "They've been acting very friendly towards each other, and according to mom, dad has been spending a lot of time with Vegeta."
"I saw them both at the mall today," said Krillan. "They were there together."
"Should we follow them and see what they're up to?" asked Gohan. Krillan nodded and they quickly but quietly left the hospital, following Goku and Vegeta's energy. They ended up following them to the old halfly destroyed house in the forest. They quietly crept around the house until they came to the window of the bedroom. They knelt in front of it, peeking in at Goku and Vegeta, and listening to what they were saying.
"Were you impressed?" said Vegeta. They had their hands locked tight together and were pushing at each other hard, testing their strength.
"Impressed? I was astounded!" said Goku, pushing Vegeta back slightly. "And to think all that anger was because Anix was hitting on me." Vegeta frowned.
"Did you think he was attractive?" he asked, lowering his hands, but not letting go of Goku's.
"Well... honestly?" said Goku, frowning. "Yes, he was good looking, but I wasn't attracted to him. Frankly, he only reminded me of you; you two look a lot alike."
"But I'm more attractive, right?" said Vegeta, looking into Goku's eyes.
"Of course!" said Goku with a smile. "You're way better looking and way more sexy. I didn't like his attitude either. He was too excentric for my taste."
"Even though he was taller than me?"
"I like how short you are."
"Did you enjoy him touching you like that?"
"Vegeta..." said Goku, furrowing his brow sadly. "You know I didn't... I felt like he was going to rape me. I don't want anyone touching me except you. You know that!" Gohan and Krillan looked at each other, then continued to watch. Vegeta sighed, and suddenly pulled Goku to him, hugging him tightly. Goku blinked, and then hugged him back. "Does this mean you're finally going to tell me how you feel?"
"No," said Vegeta simply, not letting go.
"You promised," Goku reminded him. Vegeta froze, then groaned. "What, are you afraid?"
"Scared to death," Vegeta muttered. Goku smiled and pulled away from him.
"Don't be scared," he said gently. "Just tell me, and I can stop bugging you about it." Vegeta took a deep breath.
"Kakarot," he began. "I absolutely hate you. For the entire time I've known you, you've annoyed me, beaten me in everything, you became more powerful than me, you've even been happier than me... I despise you with a passion... and yet..." He looked to the floor for a second, then back up at him. "Maybe I never hated you as much as I thought. Maybe it was just envy... or maybe it was all because I... I... I love you..." He blushed, and so did Goku. At this point, both Krillan and Gohan's jaws had dropped.
"Wow..." said Goku, smiling and looking at the floor. "I'll be honest. I didn't expect the word 'love' to come out of your mouth... but then again, I don't know what I expected..." Vegeta frowned, still blushing.
"I'm sorry..." he said. "It was awkward..."
"No! Vegeta, I love you too!" said Goku desperately. "I just didn't expect you to say it! I'm so glad you did though... it puts my mind at ease." Vegeta smiled, carressing Goku's cheek gently.
"We should probably get started on that 'training' you mentioned earlier..." he said seductively. Goku bit his lip, and Vegeta gently pushed him on the bed, moving on top of him and kissing him, his hand moving to unbutton his pants. Krillan and Gohan gasped, looking away quickly. They knelt low under the window sill.
"I don't believe this!" Gohan whispered.
"Goku and Vegeta are having an affair!" said Krillan, his eyes wide. "It's like some kind of twisted soap opera!"
"I have to go tell Goten!" said Gohan, and he sped off.
"Gohan, wait!" said Krillan, but it was too late. He sighed, not daring to look back in the window, and rushing back to his own home. He rushed inside, running to the living room. "Eighteen!" he exclaimed. Eighteen was on the couch; she had been talking to her belly. She looked up quickly.
"What's wrong? Did you win?" she asked urgently.
"Yes, we won," said Krillan. "But that's not the point! Goku and Vegeta are cheating on their wives!" Eighteen blinked.
"What?" she said. "No way! Vegeta I can undertsand, but Goku? Who are they cheating on them with?"
"EACH OTHER!" said Krillan exasperatingly. Eighteen gasped, covering her mouth.
"You're kidding!" she said.
"No, I just saw them!" said Krillan. He slumped on the couch, rubbing his temples. "I don't know what to do. Should I tell Chichi and Bulma?"
"No!" said Eighteen. "They would be devistated! The only way they need to find out is by Goku and Vegeta telling them themselves."
"They may never tell them though! And then they'll find out the hard way; exactly how I found out! By seeing it!" Krillan exclaimed.
"Krillan," said Eighteen. "You're Goku's best friend. You need to confront him about what you saw, and explain to him why he and Vegeta need to come clean."
"You're right," said Krillan, sighing. "I'll do it tomorrow..."
