Bound to you.

Feelings

Clicking his tongue as Bulma was sat with guilty look on her face. He didn't really speak to her for couple of days after finding out she had tried to set him up with Goku. He checked the time,keeping an eye on it every few minutes, he had training and part of him wanted to die inside, he wasn't sure if he could face Goku again. He was starting to regret moving close to Bulma, she had done this sort of thing to him in the past; he wasn't expecting her to do it again. How was he going to face Goku again? Now knowing that he actually knew Bulma before hand. He stared at Bulma and shook his head, she had admitted that her and Chichi were planing to set them up knowing both were single. They had this planned out weeks in advance, part of him wanted to not bother going, whilst the other side was so keen to go and see if perhaps things would work out between them. Then again, he felt sick knowing that's what Bulma had planned all along. What if he doesn't like him that way? He checked the time and sighed, it was time to go. He had reluctantly accepted Bulma's offer to give him a lift.

Sat in the car he looked over noticing her doleful expression set on her face. He couldn't stay mad at her. "I wish you didn't always try to intervene with my love life." Vegeta let out a long exasperated sigh.

"I'm sorry." Bulma's voice was a little shaken, she felt guilt still. No matter how many times she had said she was sorry, Vegeta just scoffed at her. This time he didn't pull a face,she felt Vegeta rest his hand on her lap reassuring her that they hadn't lost their friendship. She glanced over, seeing him smiling at her before moving his hand away, his way of saying it's okay. "I honestly thought we weren't ever going to talk again." Bulma sighed in relief.

"Unfortunately, you know too much." Vegeta smirked at her as she pulled outside the building where the dojo was in. They gave each other a smile, Vegeta then inhaled as he opened the car door before exhaling, pushing back his nervousness. He walked in ignoring Chichi's awkward glance, he headed straight for his locker to get his stuff to change. He made a quick glance around the room, it was pretty quiet, no sign of Goku either he felt relieved in a way. Getting changed he heard some voices discussing upcoming tournament, he quirked a brow at this. He was aware he just started, but he had done fighting before, so couldn't understand why it wasn't mentioned or even offered to him. Storming out the changing room he noticed Gohan stood there with couple of the younger fighters. He gave Vegeta a judgemental stare before casually walking out the room. Vegeta chose to ignore the stare as he entered the room, he watched as everyone was starting to warm up. He stretched as he entered the mats, he grinned as everyone froze staring at him. They soon stopped the stare as Gohan walked in and went back to their warm up. After their warm up, they were given partners to spar with, low and behold Vegeta had Gohan as there was no one for him to pair up with. He quirked his brow as Gohan just smirked at him, they kept their stare as they went to their point stance. As they worked on the basic combo of jab and hook punches, they progressed adding uppercuts and spin kicks. Jumping back to their point stance, they both smirked at each other. 

"I can tell you aren't new to this." Gohan raised a brow as he quickly blocked Vegeta's jabs and shovel punch. "I wouldn't show off like that." as he threw right hook kick throwing Vegeta back a little. They both paused glaring at each other.  "I know exactly what you are trying to do."

"oh really?, and what is that?" Vegeta went back into his point stance, he smirked as Gohan rolled his eyes and went back to his stance. 

"You are trying to impress the owner, we've all seen the way you been looking at him." Gohan blocked Vegeta's jab and hook cross punches. "you fight like that, you are already setting yourself up to lose." He continued to block more of the attacks rolling his eyes. They both stopped as they noticed someone wailed in pain, they limped towards the back room, Vegeta quirked a brow. He ignored Gohan trying to get him back into focus, he observed as the person limped out minutes later with Goku who helped sit them down on the bench to watch from distance. Goku glanced over at Vegeta and quickly headed back to the back room, Vegeta felt Gohan shove him in the back to grab his attention. "see! you just gawked at him again."  Vegeta smirked, he had a plan, but he didn't want to make it look obvious.

"Alright." Vegeta stretched before going into point stance again, before Gohan had a chance to prep himself Vegeta threw in a few side kicks. He could see Gohan got annoyed, as Gohan threw in an uppercut Vegeta purposely didn't block. He covered his mouth and made a cry causing everyone look over at him. He grinned as Goku ran over glaring over at Gohan as he escorted Vegeta to the back room for first aid. Vegeta smirked to himself, ignoring the glares from Gohan, he didn't give a shit if he could see through him, his plan worked. Vegeta felt weak to his knees as Goku had him sit down, he was leaning into him observing the damage before applying an ice pack. 

"Hm, doesn't seem it was much of an impact." Goku furrowed his brows observing how calm Vegeta was. He chose to not say anything to him. There was a few seconds of silence as Goku handed Vegeta a bottle of water. "How you feeling now?"

"fine." Vegeta moved the ice pack to take a sip of water.

"You know, you are more than welcome to sit out if you need a break, instead of purposely allowing yourself to get hit?" Goku grinned shaking his head. 

"maybe, I just wanted your company?" Vegeta face palmed as he confessed, he noticed Goku kept his grin.

"Then, that would be a little desperate don't you think?" Goku leaned back raising a brow noticing Vegeta's cheeks glow crimson. "anyway, as much as I'd sit and talk with you more, I have paperwork to complete." He was about to leave the room as he seen Videl stood outside.

"So, are you even single?" Vegeta gulped as he realised what he just asked, he quivered as he noticed Goku froze before turning to face him, he  felt Goku lean against him, his face next to his ear, he could feel his warm breath, smelling his musky scent.

"That's for me to know, and for you to try find out" Goku still leaned against him smirking before quickly pulling back. He tapped Vegeta on the shoulder as he walked out as Videl came in to check Vegeta over before escorting him out the room.
