Goku X Vegeta Oneshots

Six: Deception

Vegeta rushed out of the house, slamming the door behind him. He was blinded by tears. He flew off, trying to get as far away as possible from the monster his mate had become.

Turles smirked triumphantly, watching him go. He went down into the basement, where Goku lay, more than half dead and bound. "Guess what, Kakarrot?" he laughed, crossing his arms. "Our little Prince finally gave up on you. He must have loved you so much! I expected him to run weeks ago! But after that little game we played this morning..."

Goku squeezed his eyes shut. He had to hide the tears. But feeling Vegeta's energy get further and further away was breaking his resolution. This was doubled by memories of Vegeta's angry, confused, tear-filled rants to the imposter.

"Kakarrot, what the hell happened to you!? This isn't what you promised me when you married me! Do you even still love me!? What did I do!? I- I can fix it! Whatever I've done, let me fix it so you'll love me again!"

Goku shuddered and let his tears fall.

"So this is the real you? No wonder Chichi was such a bitch. You really, really had me fooled, Kakarrot. I thought I was good at reading people, but I guess I'm just as dumb and gullible as your friends."

"Yeah, I know you don't care! God, I don't even know why I married you. It's really funny, actually. Here I was, thinking 'Oh, well, he's strong. He's beautiful. He's a Saiyan to boot. He loves me. He's a little dumb, a little naive, but I don't care. I love him.' Turns out, I'm the dumb one. How did you fool everyone, Kakarrot? No, seriously. How'd you do it?"

Distantly Goku heard Turles laughing at his tears. He slowly looked up at his tormentor. The other Saiyan sneered. "What are you gonna do, Kakarrot?"

"Fucking kill you," said Goku very softly with a smile. He transformed into a Super Saiyan Three and broke his bindings. This level of energy was probably going to kill him, but he was done. Turles had broken Vegeta's heart, probably turned him against him forever, so he had no real reason to carry on. Vegeta was more than capable of protecting Earth. He was better off without him.

Goku grabbed Turles by the throat and slammed him against the wall. "You," chuckled Goku, "you chose the wrong man to hurt. I'm going to die because of you, but I swear to God, I'm taking you with me."

Goku crushed Turles' windpipe and shot him in the face. He released his identical enemy and fell to his knees, powering down. He was dizzy and weak. For the first time in nearly four months, he managed to connect to Vegeta's mind.

I love you, Vegeta...

Vegeta nearly crashed out of the air. Those four words were somehow enough to tell him that it had all been a lie. It was not Goku that had lied to him, abused him, hurt him with words and actions. Not Goku who had forced him to comply with the sick games that he had begged against. Not Goku who had broken his heart.

"Kakarrot!!!" Vegeta flew the way he'd come as fast as he could. He powered up to increase his speed. Kakarrot, talk to me! What happened!? Where are you!? Kakarrot!

There was an eerie silence and a growing pain in his heart. It was becoming unbearable. He landed by the house and staggered inside, the pain growing stronger. "Kakarrot!? Kakarrot!?" He fell to his knees, screaming as the pain intensified. Then realization hit him.

Goku was dead. That was the source of the agony.

"No! No! Kakarrot!" Vegeta clawed at his chest as his heart burned. He curled up, in too much pain to make a sound. He knew he was going to die. No one could survive this much pain. He stared at the ceiling, gasping fitfully. His vision darkened and he let his eyes fall closed.

Vegeta woke up and saw his mate smiling at him. "Kakarrot!?" he gasped.

Goku weakly rested his head against Vegeta's. "Tha... That was a little too close," he chuckled. "Vegeta... That was Turles. Not me. He- He told me everything he did to you, bragged about it. And I... I did something I haven't done before."

"You're alive...?" Vegeta choked, tears forming in his dull eyes. He shakily reached up to touch his mate's pale, weary face.

Goku nodded. "I... Vegeta, I killed him. I killed Turles."

"Well you better have killed that motherfucking son of a bitch." Vegeta laughed shakily, still crying.

Goku ran his fingers over Vegeta's cheek. "Hey, shh. It's ok. I'm here now. No one is ever going to touch you again." He kissed Vegeta for the first time in four months.

Vegeta could immediately tell the difference, and it was a beautiful one. Turles kissed roughly, dominatingly, all the time, forced Vegeta into the kiss. But Goku... Goku even kissed like an angel. The soft, gentle movement- in contrast to what was basically mouth-rape- did something to him that he hadn't felt in forever. He held back the moan that threatened to escape him.

But Goku knew him too well; he pressed his tongue against Vegeta's mouth. Unbeknownst to Vegeta, Goku slowly reached behind Vegeta and squeezed his ass. Vegeta let out a choked gasp, allowing Goku to slide his tongue into Vegeta's mouth.

Vegeta moaned, letting all his inhibitions and fear go. It wasn't Turles. It was Goku. His Kakarrot. He leaned back, pulling Goku down on top of him. Goku smiled into the kiss and gently pinned Vegeta's arms above his head.

Vegeta was not used to this gentle touch. It was destroying him in the best way possible. "K... Kakarrot..." He gasped as Goku kissed down his throat.

Goku chuckled softly and pulled back. "Not now," he whispered regretfully. "It's too soon for me and too soon for you." He kissed him gently and pulled him into a sitting position.

Vegeta wrapped his arms around Goku's neck, sighing, "I'm so glad you're back. He-" Vegeta fell silent. "I'm just glad you're back."

"I know, baby," Goku whispered into his ear. "It's just gonna be you and me. We're gonna stay home away from everyone, just you and me."

"Ok." Vegeta snuggled closer to his lost mate. "I love you so much, Kakarrot."

"I love you too, Vegeta."
