Vegeta grimaced he could feel his body wanting to collapse, as he tried to walk towards the bathroom. He didn't want to show he was struggling for fear the doctors would have him stay for longer, he missed the outdoors more, simple air from the window whilst listening to the ambience of cars and passerby's simply didn't suffice. His legs threatened to give in, tears of frustration started to stream down his cheeks at a steady pace. He leaned against the wall, the bathroom door was just a couple of more steps ahead; yet his body was already wanting to give up. One slow step he lost his balance and panicked as he could feel himself falling backwards, strong arms caught him from behind; and helped him slowly back onto his feet.

"Easy now, just take your time." Goku smiled allowing Vegeta to use him as support,big progress had been made which the doctors were happy to discharge him. Goku knew how determined Vegeta was, so knew not to intervene when he was trying to do things by himself. He judged it when he could step in and help, simply by reading Vegeta's body language when fatigue hit and his body looked close to giving up.

Vegeta glanced over at Goku from the corner of his eye, he felt contentment knowing Goku hadn't left his side. He scrunched his eyebrows up studying Goku's warming smile, a smile he was very familiar with, that smile that triggered a flash back.

flashback

Vegeta was given a bicycle for his fifth birthday, his father promised to take him out; but would keep prioritising his work than spend time with his son. His mother chose to take him instead, she had given his father plenty of chances to take him out before doing it herself. Her hand was rested so gently behind Vegeta's back, which encouraged him to keep peddling. He was so excited he didn't notice his mother's hand was no longer on his back, he panicked slightly looking behind seeing his mother stood in the distance with a warming smile.

"That's it sweetie, keep going. Just take your time." she smiled encouraging him to keep going.

end flashback

Vegeta's heart fluttered relaying that flashback in his mind, he looked back at Goku. Same comforting smile, so inviting, and warmth feeling just by the smile alone. He kept his eyes locked onto Goku as he allowed Goku to help guide him into the bath. Goku started to lather his body with soap, his arm rested behind him so he could lean back. At first he'd object to such help, he felt so embarrassed by it, he grew fond of it in the end as it he opened up his more vulnerable state to his boyfriend. Goku planted a delicate kiss on his forehead that triggered another flashback.

Flashback

Vegeta trudged back home covered head to toe in dirt, his father grumbled looking at newspaper calling out for his mother to see to him. His mother simply smiled guiding him into the bathroom. She overfilled the bath with bubbles, making it more fun for Vegeta, smiles and laughter's echoed through the family home as he'd throw bubbles up in the air, covering the bathroom floor with the soapy mess. His mother giggled alongside him planting a kiss on his forehead.

end flashback

Vegeta leaned back, allowing Goku to lather his body, he kept his eyes locked on Goku's face, his hear would beat harder whenever their eyes connected.

"Its not too warm or anything?" he asked Vegeta as he seen Vegeta look so deep in thought.

"No." Vegeta smiled up at him, reassuring him he was comfortable.

Goku smiled planting another kiss on Vegeta's forehead. "Good. I love you." He Poured a jug of water to rinse off the soap. "I'm wondering. During your recovery you'll be staying with me,how would you like to move in permanently?"

Vegeta raised a brow. "If that's what you want." he smirked remembering that's what Goku had responded to him, when he had asked if they were dating.

Goku chuckled as he rested his hand under Vegeta's chin,he leaned in so their lips were just centimetres apart. "I wouldn't of asked, if it wasn't what I wanted."lips crashed against the other into a fiery passionate kiss, as if to steal each others breaths; lips only parted slightly to allow their tongues to roam inside their mouths. Vegeta started to feel a chill in the air as the bathwater was now lukewarm, Goku broke their kiss seeing Vegeta starting to shiver slightly. He guided Vegeta out the bath and wrapped a towel around him. Vegeta tried to dress himself whilst Goku packed his stuff, Goku glanced over seeing Vegeta getting flustered as he was trying to do the buttons up on his shirt. "Here I'll help." Goku stopped what he was doing and approached Vegeta, he started to button up Vegeta's shirt whilst planting sweet sensual kiss on his lips.

Flashback:

"Where are you going?" His mother studied him up and down.

"Outside." Vegeta shrugged, he was ready to go outside and play with his friends, he whined as she pulled him back.

"You have to close your jacket honey." She zipped his coat up and playfully taps his nose,kissing his forehead. She leaned against the doorway as she watches Vegeta run outside to play, he glanced over his shoulder to give her a smile before catching up with his friends.

Vegeta had tears form in his eye watching as Goku was buttoning his shirt. realisation hit him, if he didn't make the decision to move, he wouldn't be here now looking at the man who he felt complete with. He smiled tears still in his eyes as Goku finished buttoning up his shirt and was now looking back at Vegeta with such love and care. He felt fluttering in the pit of his stomach, as if he was reliving that moment he first set eyes on him.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Goku asked with concern as he gently wiped the tears away from Vegeta's face.

"Thank you for everything." Vegeta pulled Goku in for a kiss. "you make my life complete." He pulled Goku in for a deeper kiss, as happy tears streamed down his cheeks.

Goku broke the kiss wiping away Vegeta's tears again. "Come on, let's go home." He helped Vegeta onto his feet.

Vegeta paused staring back at the now empty hospital bed, the room looked empty, and very dull looking. He followed Goku through those doors that were once a barrier between them, their fingers entwined not breaking that bond between them.
