Saiyan Love

Over It

Those words rang in Vegeta's head. 'I had sex with Raditz! I had sex with Raditz! I had sex with Raditz!'

How could she do this to me? I changed for her. I was committed to her. I loved her... I even trusted her...

"There I said it. I hooked up with Raditz."

Vegeta didn't know how to react. He didn't know whether to yell or cry. "Hmph." he turned his back on her, "No wonder you both share the same stench."

Raje was thrown off by his rude remark. "What?"

"Your scent rubbed off on eachother. I smelt it the second I walked out of my room and by yours. At first I thought it was Nappa, but I was terribly mistaken. I should have known though. I mean, it took me a whole week to get your disgusting scent off of my body."

"Now you're just being mean. I expected you to be mad but not fire all these rude comments."

"Mad? Don't make me laugh, girl."

Did he just call me 'girl'? He hasn't called me that in years.

"Mad doesn't even begin to express how I feel! Why don't you try hurt! Humiliated! Betrayed!"

"Vegeta, I'm sorry!" she cried.

"Don't even try with the tears. You're just embarrassing yourself. That card you like to play always had me wrapped around your finger, but not anymore! Why don't you cry on Raditz's shoulder and see if he cares as much as I did!"

"You don't understand!"

"Understand what? That you played me? Answer this for me, every time we were in bed together did you think of Raditz?"

Raje scoffed in disgust, "Why would you even ask me that?"

"Because I know you've been attracted to him since you were a little girl."

"That was a long time ago!"

"It looks like nothing has changed since then! If you weren't attracted to him in any way, you wouldn't have slept with him!"

"I'm not having this conversation!" Raje stomped her way to the door.

"Go run away. That's what you do best." Raje stopped in front of the door and turned to face Vegeta. She rose her hand and slapped him.

"I slept with him because he was there for me."

"And I wasn't? How many times did I stay up late with you when you would cry yourself to sleep!  Who was the one that said you didn't have to fight if you didn't want to? Me! It was me! And how do you repay me? By sleeping with Raditz! But what does it matter to you? It's not like you loved me, right?"

Vegeta was right. There was nothing Raje could say to that. He was always there for her, every damn time she needed him, he dropped what he was doing to take care of her. How could she be so selfish? "Vegeta..." She grabbed his hand, he pulled away viciously.

"Don't touch me! Just-!" He sighed. His heart was racing like crazy. With each beat, he felt a piece of his heart break off. "Get out." He said calmly. "We're done here." Vegeta opened the door for her to leave, and there she went. Walking out with his broken heart in hand.

Raje walked into the kitchen, laying her head on the table. The best thing that ever happened to her was ripped out of her life and it was all her fault. She heard someone pull out a chair she looked up to see it was Nappa.

"Heard a lot of yelling. I'm guessing it didn't go well."

"What do you think?" She glared.

"Take it from me. The single life isn't that bad. I'm doing good." Raje's eyes grew. She didn't want to be old and alone like Nappa. Maybe that's why he went bald because he was so stressed about being lonely. What if she stayed with Raditz and later on he leaves her for someone else? Then when she finally wants Vegeta back it would be too late because he moved in with a rich brod and had a loving family with her. She began crying at the mere thought.

"I made the biggest mistake of my life." She cried.

Nappa leaned away, "Okay, the crying is making me uncomfortable."

"Nappa." Raditz called, "You should steer the ship. There's some astroids dead ahead." Nappa nodded, and left. "So... I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for getting you into this mess. I should have said what we were about to do was a bad idea."

"It's not your fault. It was my doing and you went along with it."

"I'm taking it as Vegeta hates me now?"

Raje nodded. "Yup. You and me both." Raditz ground as he took a seat beside her. "How how much longer until we get to this stupid planet?"

" 5 more days. Possibly 6 if there's still a bunch of asteroids ahead."

Raje groaned, "Let the awkwardness begin. Again." She fake cheered.

"Whoopee...." Raditz waved unenthusiastically.

"I'm going to my room." Raje said, Raditz agreed to do the same.  As soon as they stood up the ship started rocking back and forth. "Damn it! Nappa needs to get this thing under control!" Raje fell forward, leaning against the table, using it as leverage to stand up.

"You're telling me."  Raditz struggle to stand as an asteroid bumped into the side of the ship, causing him to fall forward onto a leaned over Raje.

Vegeta came out of his room to see what all of the commotion was about. He walked into the kitchen only to find Raje and Raditz in an awkward position where she was bent over the table and he was behind her, holding onto her shoulder. "Wow. We've only been broken up not even 10 minutes and you two are already all over each other again."

They looked at Vegeta's if they were deer caught in the headlights. "Vegeta, its not what it looks like!" She pushed Raditz off of her.

"What, you're going to tell me that he fell on top of you?"

"Yes! That's what happened." She tried explaining to no avail.

"Do you ever get tired of lying?" Vegeta rolled his eyes, turning around to go back to his room. "Word of advise Raditz, she likes it better if you hold her by the waist with both hands, not hold her shoulder. She says it allows you to get in deeper but it all feels the same to me." Vegeta said as he walked away to his room.

Raje grabbed her chair and threw it at the wall watching it break and hundreds of pieces. She was on the verge of ripping her hair out, she could just kill somebody at this point.

Raditz grabbed her hand "Raje, calm down." She yanked away, storming to her room, slamming the door. she threw herself on her messy bed, groaning. Her bed didn't feel the same, something was off. Raje lifted her head up, fluffing the pillows to see if that's why she felt uncomfortable, but that wasn't it.  A familiar smell lingered in the air. What was it? It's Raditz, she thought. His scent was everywhere. It was on her person, her bed, all over the room. It wasn't necessarily a bad sent, She just missed Vegeta's sent that was being overpowered. Laying down on the mattress that she shared a moment with both Vegeta and Raditz made her feel disgusting. She flipped the mattress over to see if it would help but it didn't. There was no way she would be able to sleep in her room tonight.

Raje grabbed a fresh pair of clothes, heading to her shower. She felt as if she was scrubbing her body for hours and yet she still felt filthy. No matter how hard she scrubbed, her conscience would always be cluttered with guilt and shame. Raje opened her door and stepped in the hallway.  after taking a few steps she found herself in front of Vegeta's room. She leaned her head up against the door, clutching onto the knob. Raje wished that she didn't take sharing a bed with her prince for granted.  Sleeping alone from now on wasn't going to feel the same as it did when she slept in Vegeta's arms. The grip she had on the knob soon loosened as she was about to proceed to the couch, but something caught her attention.

Raje pressed her ear against the door and what she heard surprised her. It was crying. Each tear that dripped down Vegeta's face made Raje's heart crumble into dust. What have I done?
