Bound to you.

Guilt

Goku awoke so suddenly, his eyes snapped wide open as memories of his past projected itself in his thoughts. He moved his head to the side, watching Vegeta in such a peaceful state. Vegeta's chest raised and fell with sedative qualities of a lullaby, warming Goku's face with a smile as he could hear each peaceful breath from his boyfriend. He leaned in planting a tender kiss on Vegeta's cheek, he smiled widely seeing Vegeta's nose wrinkle up at the touch ,and turned to his side wrapping himself up in the duvet. He wiped a tear that was forming in the corners of his eyes, as he kept watch of his boyfriend who's back was now facing him. Flashbacks of seeing Vegeta in a coma hit his mind leaving that guilt feeling to flood in. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed, and quietly left the room putting on his bathrobe. His hands trembled slightly as memories of his previous relationship flowed between the flashbacks of Vegeta in a coma. His heart racing at the memory of such horrific time, he stepped outside the balcony, looking over at the peaceful sleeping city. Leaning against the railings as he hung his head down allowing the cold breeze to quilt him in hope to clear his thoughts. He heard a sharp cough from behind him, he glanced over his shoulder putting on a smile. "Hey, what you doing up?"

"I could ask you the same question?" Vegeta furrowed his brows, his face in a half asleep state as he was stood wrapped in a blanket.

Goku bit his lip, he slowly spun to face his boyfriend who kept staring at him with concern. "Vegeta, I haven't been honest with you about my relationship with Broly."

"Oh?"

"It started out great you know, we were young,living in an apartment not far from the city, he was the reason I moved here initially."

Flashback.

Goku laid on his side, with just a thin blanket covering both him and Broly. He smiled feeling firm kisses travelling down the side of his neck, such a sensitive area to be kissed on, and he loved the tingling feeling it would leave, even after the kisses had stopped. Morning radio softly playing in the background, soft satin sheet ruffled from their love making, their slick bodies pressed together, two young lovers with their future already mentally mapped out in front of them.

"We should really think about getting out of bed." Broly suggested and started to trail his tongue sensually up Goku's neck causing Goku to writhe.

"Just few more minutes." He grinned, enjoying the warming embrace. They not long started dating, and met through a friend at a party. Not wanting to live far apart, Goku agreed to move in with him just shy of four weeks into their relationship.

The flashback moves onto them walking hand in hand through the city, Goku had bumped into middle aged man that he had worked with before.

"Hey, hows things?" Goku smiled unaware Broly was glaring at the pair.

"Not too bad, how have you been? Feels like forever." The man smiled at Goku before checking his watch.

"Yeah I know, been pretty busy." Goku laughed slightly, he hadn't really left anywhere on his own without Broly lingering by his side, Broly even waited for him outside his work. At first he found it rather cute, but then he started seeing it as creepy, however he was still so besotted on him he just let it carry on.

"I'll catch you around, I'm gonna be late for work." The man tapped Goku's shoulder and jogged past them mingling into the crowd of other commuters.

"Who is he?" Broly frowned as they continued to walk through the crowd of people.

"Someone I used to work with." Goku shrugged keeping his eyes on the walkway ahead.

Broly pulled Goku into a corner of an alleyway, leaning into his face with a stern look. "You didn't tell me about him."

"Sorry, I didn't see it as something-" his breath hitched feeling firm hand dig into his cheeks, as he was pinned against the cold brick wall behind him. His eyes shot wide seeing the anger on Broly's face, not something he'd seen before and it startled him.

"You're suppose to tell me everything, how am I suppose to trust you?" He saw the panic on Goku's face and quickly let go, his face softened as he pulled Goku in for a hug."babe, I'm sorry, you okay?"

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." He lied fighting back his tears, he scrunched his brows at how quick Broly's behaviour had changed, like a flick of a switch.

-

"So, he was jealous even in the relationship?" Vegeta quirked a brow as he was now leaning his head against Goku's arm, overlooking the city below them.

"I guess so, it went down hill from there and pretty fast." He sighed wrapping his arm lovingly around Vegeta.

Flashback

Goku was at a party with some friends, he wasn't aware his phone had switched off as he had forgotten to charge it. The night drew to a close and he stumbled back to the apartment, he flinched as he saw Broly sat on the armchair with his arms folded glaring over at him.

"You were suppose to be home an hour ago!" Broly snapped.

"Lost track of time."

"Who is it?!" He lunged off the chair and gripped hold of Goku's jacket.

"Hey, I've told you before, there's no one else." Goku held his hands up his body trembling with uncertainty.

"Don't lie to me." Broly slapped Goku across the face, he stepped back watching Goku now holding his cheek and glancing back at him in shock. "babe, I'm so sorry I'm so so sorry, come here." He pulled Goku in for a hug, stroking the back of Goku's head. "you know how scared I get, just the thought of losing you."
-
Time skip.
Broly had caught Goku talking to someone, he grabbed Goku by the back of his collar and dragged him back to the apartment. They had been dating for six months and already Goku was starting to see more of a different person. Broly shoved Goku to the floor of the apartment glaring down at him.

Goku turned to face his boyfriend, he shuffled backwards as Broly slowly walked towards him with clenched fists. "Broly...please It's just a friend..."

"No! You been talking behind my back to these people!" He pulled Goku up by his shirt and started to lay in punches. After ten agonising minutes of such attack, Broly went back to being caring, as if nothing had happened. Goku awaited for Broly to fall asleep and quickly packed his bag and left over night.

"I left London for a while stayed with my parents, I started training in martial arts for self defence and returned here to open up the dojo. I hadn't heard from him, knew he was around entering tournaments. I kept myself to myself, I didn't go into full details why I left him to not worry my family. I feel so guilty for what happened to you." Goku wiped away his stray tears that were starting to fall.

"Kakarot, I dont blame you. What happened wasn't your fault." Vegeta soothed, he wrapped his arms around Goku's arm coaxing him to walk back into the warmth.

"He could of killed you." Goku blurted.

"He didn't."

"That night, I honestly thought I had lost you and it scared me so much. Spending every waking moment by your side in hospital, waiting for you to wake up. I blamed myself, my past found its way to hurt you too and I can't forgive myself for that." Goku placed his hand on side of Vegeta's face, his thumb stroking Vegeta's soft cheek. Their eyes connect, sharing such deep connection for each other.

"Look how close we are now, none of what happened was your fault. He hasn't won." Vegeta slowly sat down on the sofa with Goku.

"When you got attacked again-"

"Again, not your fault. I love you, and I know you wouldn't do anything to cause any harm to me, what happened was out of our control. Now, that's the past let's move forward together." Vegeta leaned in planting soft delicate kiss on Goku's lips. Goku wrapped his arms lovingly around Vegeta pulling him in for a deeper kiss, wrapped up in their warmth, hearts beating, with the feeling of security wrapped between them.
