Goku X Vegeta Oneshots

Two: "Let's Skip The Warmup"

Thanks to @Justdanceordie for the idea for this one. She's never watched DBZ, but still. Thanks, buddy!!! 😁

Goku lay on a branch in a tree. The cool, early summer breeze swept through his wild hair. Silence permeated the warm air and softened his troubles. Just when he thought he would fall asleep, he felt a very familiar ki heading his way.

"Vegeta..." he murmured. The Saiyan Prince was approaching at a surprisingly leisurely pace. Goku sat up and hopped down, stretching his limbs. The older Saiyan was probably bored and looking for a fight.

The proud Prince landed in front of him, sporting a smirk and his usual confident stance- although Goku could sense something odd about him today. He wasn't sure what it was, but he pushed it out of his mind. "Heya, Vegeta! Come to spar?"

"Why else would I seek you out, clown?" Vegeta snorted. Something in his eyes said he wasn't ok. There was a slight desperation, a need to escape. But he looked calmer now that he was with his sparring partner.

Goku beamed at his best friend. He knew that Vegeta considered him nearly as an enemy, but something about the Saiyan Prince made him want to always be around him. His other friends said that it was because Vegeta was the only one who could put up a fight when he wanted to play rough, but he was beginning to wonder what he was really feeling.

He thought about his Prince constantly. His heart raced when he was near. Whenever someone was talking about him, he'd suddenly be all ears. He had no idea what he was feeling. He decided that, since Vegeta knew everything, he'd ask him. Vegeta had to know what he was feeling.

"Hey, Vegeta? Before we start, I wanted to ask you something."

Vegeta snorted. "I'm feeling lenient today. What do you want?"

"I've been having this... this feeling. Um. When I'm with you, I feel weird. It gets a little hard to breathe, and- and my heart beats faster. I want to be with you all the time, and- you're my best friend..."

Vegeta looked a little surprised. "You-... Kakarrot... I- Do you feel this way when you're with your wife?"

Goku looked confused. "Course not. Chichi scares me. You make me feel happy. Really happy."

Vegeta looked a little dazed. "Kakarrot, are you...? N-Never mind. We'll talk about it later."

"Ok!" said Goku. "Let's spar now!"

"And we might as well skip the warmup," Vegeta replied with a smirk, falling into a stance. The two powered up to Super Saiyan and lunged forward. 🉐

Several hours and countless blows later, both Saiyans lay panting and gasping on the ground. Vegeta staggered to his feet, spitting blood out of his mouth. "C'mon, Kakarrot!" he snarled, his words slightly slurred by exhaustion and the multiple blows to his head. "I'm not done yet!"

"I can't," groaned Goku. "I think ya killed me..." Vegeta collapsed beside him, laughing. Goku looked at him strangely. "Ya ok, Vegeta?" He'd barely seen the older Saiyan smile, much less laugh. It was a nice sound, and he liked it.

"Oh, you are a wonder, Kakarrot..." Vegeta rubbed his head. "The feelings you have... When did they start?" He rolled onto his side so he could look directly at Goku.

Goku felt himself blush at Vegeta's attention. Why, he wasn't sure. "Actually, a- a long time ago. When I was in the hospital after our first fight, I couldn't stop thinking about you. You're so strong, and you're so smart, and... I- I- I kinda think you're handsome..."

"Really?" Vegeta said.

Goku nodded shyly. "Don't kill me."

Vegeta chuckled, laying on his back and staring up at the darkening sky. "No. Didn't plan on it. So. Did you ever feel this way for your harpy? Or is this the first time?"

"I've never felt like this before," Goku said hushedly. "I like it, but it's driving me nuts. Vegeta... What am I feeling?" He gazed at his beautiful Prince, feeling complete and happy, although confused.

Vegeta tiredly ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm so confused. Why, Kakarrot? Why me, and how?"

"You're being vague again."

"I'm sorry," said Vegeta without even thinking. Goku's interest immediately perked. "I just... I'm so confused. Kakarrot, I... You said this was the first time." His voice was shaking and he kept his eyes fixed on the sky.

"Yeah. Just tell me already! You're making me nervous."

"Kakarrot, I... Before I tell you, I want you to know that- th-that I feel the same way." He rubbed his face. "I think... Kakarrot, I think you're in love."

"Am I? I'm in love with you?" Goku cocked his head. "Wait, why did you ask if I felt that way with Chichi?"

"Because you're supposed to be in love with your wife! Like I'm supposed... to be in love with... mine." Vegeta sighed unhappily.

Goku felt a pang in his chest. "Are you guys fighting again?"

"Yeah, but this time, she kicked me out." Vegeta's eyes narrowed. "I hate her. I don't even know why I married her. She's bitchy and vain and only cares about herself."

Goku realized just a tiny flaw in Vegeta's thinking, but said nothing. Then he sat up with a gasp, looking at Vegeta. "Vegeta... You said you felt like this too! Does that mean you're in love with me!?"

Vegeta blushed deeply, but couldn't help but notice Goku's enthusiasm. "Y-Yes. Almost as long as you've loved me."

Goku frowned a little. Vegeta thought that it didn't suit him. "If we should be in love with our wives, why are we in love with each other?"

Vegeta shrugged. "I'm just as confused as you. You don't choose who you fall for. It just happens."

Goku stared at Vegeta as he spoke. He scooted closer and took Vegeta's hand. Vegeta looked up at Goku, seeming slightly breathless. Goku smiled that smile that turned Vegeta's legs to jelly. "Would it be ok if I kissed you?"

The Prince nearly started drooling. Speechlessly he nodded. Goku leaned in and pressed his mouth to Vegeta's. It was like being struck by lightning. The way his warm lips moved against his made him lightheaded. He grabbed Goku's wrist and held it tightly.

Goku smiled against his mouth. "Something wrong?" he purred in a strange voice. Vegeta shuddered.

This wasn't Goku.

This was Kakarrot.

Goku pushed, forcing Vegeta to lay back. His mind was reeling, he felt weak under Goku's gentle touch. Oh Gods, I'm not uke, am I...?

Goku broke off for air. He looked down at Vegeta and blinked in surprise, the dark look fading from his eyes. He sat up again, blushing with a childish laugh. "Sorry 'bout that, Vegeta! Don't know what came over me!"

"It's ok," replied Vegeta, still a little dazed. Why me? Why am I the uke...?

Goku smiled at Vegeta. "So does that mean we're together now?" When Vegeta nodded, he hugged the little Prince. "What are we gonna do about Bulma and Chichi?"

"Well, Bulma and I are getting a divorce. You could do the same with your harpy." Vegeta smiled a little and relaxed in Goku's embrace. He felt small and comfortable. He'd been waiting for this for years.

Goku kissed him gently, again throwing Vegeta's senses into disarray. "Love ya, Vegeta!"

"I... I love you too, Kakarrot."
