The Prince's Adviser [Vegeta x Saiyan! Female! Reader]

Chapter 28~ Interview With the Prince (Part Two)

Year 772 ([Name]= 23, Vegeta= 40) [Trunks= 6, Gohan= 15, Goten= 4]

"So-- What are you going to do then?" What am I going to do? Good question.

Her question was certainly a good one. It was something that I had thought about quite a bit, what would her reaction be, though? If I told her--

"Well, what am I going to do? I'm going to do nothing."

"Nothing?!" She was flabbergasted.

"Why does it matter to you?" It didn't make any sense for her to be invested any fraction of a percent. It was my relationship. With my adviser. It had nothing to do with her. She was just being told about it.

"Because--"

"That's a bullshit answer, and you know it."

"Yeah, I know it." She sighed, her shoulders slumping a bit. "I just-- To see you so sad-- you genuinely looked like you were going to cry at points in this conversation-- That's an expression I've never seen on you. I knew she was important, but not this important-- Vegeta, this is my honest opinion, do something about it-- I know you don't want to spring anything on her or harm Trunks, but I think you should do it. For your sake, for her sake."

"And if I say I won't...?"

"Then you're... a masochist or something!"

"Eh--"

"I mean--" She huffed. "I mean, that you would rather go through the pain instead of just accepting you want to be with her and do something about it."

"You are mighty invested for someone who, until now, I was sure wanted to get back together with me." She frowned, a flush tinting her cheeks.

"Well-- I did. But, hearing this-- I just-- I want you guys to be happy. And, to know you're doing this-- It is just-- it's really sad, okay?"

"Okay. I accept your sadness-- And, yes, it is really sad. But, I am smarter than that, than just acting on the fact I love or like someone or something. I've weighed the pros and cons, I still am-- And, I know what's right for this situation, and for now, while sad-- I shouldn't do anything."

We sat in silence now, for about a minute. She seemed to take what I said to heart now, the frown on her face solidifying. She did NOT look happy, but it is not her place to be happy or sad about my choices. She's welcome to be sad or mad, but I don't care if she does. It is my choice.

"So-- Anyway--! Why aren't you out there with Gohan and [Name]?" It seems, from her context, and my lack of understanding of time, that Trunks must have been put down for a nap in the time between then and now.

"Same reason I'm in here. I'm thinking. And, I wanted time to myself, and allow her time to hang out with Gohan. I would rather not get in the way of their friendship; she seems to quite enjoy his company."

"Are you implying--"

"Fuck no, I'm not. I meant it when I said she's mine." She started laughing. "This is NOT a laughing matter, so you know, woman."

"I know." She giggled softly and stood up. "Well, if you're just going to sit here and mope, I'll leave you to it. I need to continue my work anyhow. Have fun with moping, sweetheart." I know she meant so in a platonic way, she patting my head before walking off.

"I'm not a child..." I sigh, before just laying back again.

Maybe, I can just lay here for a while... And, fall asleep-- I didn't mean to. Honestly. I planned to think, but thinking turned to falling asleep-- having a few dreams. Okay-- One dream, with one focus-- [Name]. We apparently had sex in this dream, and this wasn't one of those wet dreams, no-- it was different, we went to bed in this dream and it's like--
