Goku X Vegeta Oneshots

Two Faced

*Part Two of Jekyll and Hyde, as requested!*

Sundown brought the tingling fear back into Gohan's body, despite his rage, and also came the strange laughter from Vegeta. Goku stood in the doorway, facing out of the room. He simply couldn't watch his mate melt into someone else the way he was doing right now. "Goku," Begeta whispered, then giggled again. "Hiii, hahaha...!"

"Shut up." Goku's voice was scarcely a breath, quivering with an anger that Gohan didn't know he could possess. "Just shut up. I don't know what you want, but you're not getting it."

Begeta sighed dramatically. "Well I'm not going to launch into a monologue. That's his thing, not mine. I'm going to tell you short and sweet. You knocked me up and I'm killing the humans in my nesting ground to make room for the cub. There's gonna be more of em too, Goku. And every time this happens, I'll have to expand my territory. That means a hell of a lot of dead humans."

Goku stared at him speechlessly. Vegeta was pregnant? Then it hit him like a train. Trouble sleeping. Constant exhaustion. Enhanced emotion and smell. It all made sense. But he still didn't get one thing. "But why are you here?" he snapped, tail bristling.

"Oh, honey, I'm just a defense mechanism, a... failsafe, if you will. Royalty always gets a little screwy upstairs when a little bundle of joy's on the way." Begeta laughed. "It's just how we are, Goku. My mother did it, and her mother did it, and it's been going on since Kanalune brought back the sun."

Goku sat down, thinking. Begeta scoffed. "Don't hurt yourself there, Goku." Gohan whacked him on the head. "Ow! Brat..."

"Some things never change," Gohan sighed.

~Timeskip~

"So why Begeta?"

"Custom. Every time a member of the royal line went bonkers, it was assumed that they'd been touched by Begeta, and eventually they started using that more as a title than a name." Begeta shifted against the ki rings. It was almost dawn and his voice was slowly getting rougher. "The average Saiyan would sometimes go off, like your father, but he was truly special. He actually had been touched by Begeta. I mean, not that I haven't."

"What does that mean?" Gohan asked.

"Um, this is not going to make much sense, but it requires a little bit of history, and I'm running out of time. We'll revisit this tonight. Goku, make sure Vegeta eats something, ok? He's a bit scrawny for a pregnant uke. You'd think that a Saiyan would need to eat healthier than ever while he's pregnant, but this is actually a really good time to eat nothing but absolute junk. The less nutritional value and the more calories, the better. This cub has your appetite and Vegeta just can't-" He started coughing, signalling that he was about to switch. "- keep- up." Begeta panted heavily, then let his head hang low and shut his eyes. "See you tonight- I- guess."

Goku continued to watch. He saw the exact moment when Begeta shut off for the day and narrowed his eyes. Vegeta was sleeping peacefully, for now, but he wasn't entirely sure what to do with the information Begeta had given him. Nesting... and a larger territory. He was going to slaughter everyone within a hundred miles of him. "Gohan, I have an idea. Vegeta and I are leaving."

"Hmm? What are you talking about, Dad?" Gohan came over to him. "We need to figure out how to fix Vegeta, not run off."

"I don't think you get it. This... other personality, it's actually another piece of Vegeta, some dormant thing. I imagine that it'll shut off after he gives birth." Goku rubbed his neck. "He's pregnant... Do you think he knows?"
