Help

Thoughts were blank, which was a strange occurrence, normally his thoughts were twisting and suffocating him with their whispers. He lay still, furrowing his eyebrows as if to feel slightly disappointed by this; for this was part of his routine now.Getting lost in dark thoughts, voices echoing through his mind, flashbacks reminding him of the pain and torture. Yet it was silence. Taking a stretch he slowly swung his legs over the edge of the bed, looking at the time 11am; he sighed as he slowly rose out of bed throwing on his bath robe as he sluggishly went down the stairs. About to approach the kitchen, he heard familiar voices coming from the lounge that threw him off. His heart beat started to quicken as he felt a lump in his throat, reluctantly he slowly opened the door to the lounge. He stood slack jawed seeing Bulma and Goku sat on the sofa staring back at him.

"let me guess, going to sit and lecture me now?" Vegeta chuckled as they both gave him a concern look. "I thought you had work?" he gave Goku a stern look.

Goku exchanged looks with Bulma before looking back at Vegeta. "I've taken leave...I'm handing in my resignation."

Vegeta scrunched his eyebrows at him with brooding expression, he noticed Bulma giving him a subtle smile, before he put his focus back on Goku. "why?" he clicked his tongue as he watched the two exchange looks again. "the fuck is going on?"

"sit down." Goku scooted up freeing up space for Vegeta to sit next to him, he watched as Vegeta glared over noticing Bulma was resting her hand on Goku's lap.

"I see what this is, you two have decided to see each other, play happily families for I'm a fuck up?!" Vegeta spat as Bulma quickly moved her hand back, the pair looked at him with sorrowful expression.

Goku sighed "No, Bulma has told me about the pregnancy. I've told her everything." he gulped seeing Vegeta scowl at him clenching his fist tightly. "babe she's-"

"no, don't babe me!" Vegeta scoffed "I trusted you!"

Bulma rose to her feet glaring over at him. "And you still can, besides you were the one hiding things from him in the first place!" Goku's eyes widened, he looked up at Bulma and shook his head. "I'm sorry! you are both just as bad. I'm here because not only have I offered Goku a job with my fathers business." She grinned seeing Vegeta look at her dumbfounded. "yes, that's right. I know his name now. he's told me everything! now, I'm going to write off this debt for you, giving you a fresh start." 

Vegeta chuckled "Like it's that fucking easy?"

"well no, but it's a start!" Bulma snapped getting frustrated as he laughed at her. "I'm offering you help!"

Vegeta sat down next to Goku massaging his temples. "why would you be so willing to help us like this?!" he felt as Goku wrapped his arm around him, he sighed looking at them both. "what, you think paying off our debt and life goes back to normal?!"

"Vegeta, I can't bear watching you deteriorate like this anymore. Will you accept this help?" Goku rubbed his back lovingly as Bulma knelt in front of him.

"Your boyfriend has agreed to work for my dads business, meaning he can work from home; meaning you get the help and support. I have money sat in savings that was going to be used to purchase a holiday home abroad. Most of that will wipe off your debt! considering you are mostly paying interest on top." She sighed rolling her eyes. "fuck, you guys made a big mess." she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"And then what? I'm seen as your personal sex object?!" Vegeta quirked a brow glaring at her. "because that's all I'm seen as."

Bulma sighed looking at Goku before looking at Vegeta with a serious expression. "nope, we are just friends, no sex, but I will need both your support raising this child. Hence why I'm willing to help you!"

"You are keeping it?" Vegeta scoffed shoving Goku off him as he rose to his feet.  "do you have any idea how fucked up that is?"

"what? as fucked up as the mess you two are currently in? paying back money that won't be cleared till god knows when as they keep adding interest on top? living on the edge as they keep threatening your life?" she rose to her feet glaring at him. "I've given you this house practically rent free,if I clear the debt you guys will need to pay rent for this place, but that's nothing to what you are paying back now!"

Vegeta laughed shaking his head. "no!" he started to storm off before being pulled back by Goku.

"You seriously going to deny her help?!" Goku snapped pinching the bridge of his nose. "You know, I've been patient with you, dealt with your flippant moods, but there is only so much bullshit I can take if you are not willing to meet us half way and start helping yourself!"

Vegeta stood tight lipped looking behind Goku at Bulma who gave him same stern look as Goku. "tell you what? how about you two go play happy families then?! because I will always cause problems for you!" Vegeta spun on his heel slamming the door behind him as he stormed up stairs. Goku stood with his mouth gaped, unsure how to respond, he turned to face Bulma who sighed.

"Look, I'll leave you two to talk it out. The offer is there. But you can't force him if he isn't wanting to accept it." She smiled slightly before abruptly walking past.

Vegeta sat in the bedroom, his knees up to his chest as he dug his nails into his scalp. Voices started to echo, flashbacks flooded in causing him to wince in pain as phantom pains kicked in. Tears flown down his cheeks, as his chest felt as though it was tightening up. His thoughts clouded his mind drowning out any outside noise. Unaware Goku was stood at the door way looking over with concern and uncertainty on how he could comfort him further.
