A Saiyan's Pride / Vegeta x Reader

Under Pressure

Chi-Chi and I were both strung around Goku's arms where we were standing in the kitchen- me on his right and her on his left.

Trunks and Goten were harassing Krillin in the most hilarious and creative ways the young half-Saiyans could think of. Honestly, what better therapy than laughter to bring me back from whatever the hell Vegeta did to me?

Vegeta walked into the room to investigate the laughter, though no one hardly noticed his entrance. His eyes darted straight to his rival laughing to the point of tears while holding me and Chi-Chi, who both were also losing our minds in laughter.

I know it sounded crazy, but Chi-Chi honestly didn't mind if Goku was all over me. She understood that, first of all, he hardly knows what a female is! But more seriously, she knows that Goku sees me as nothing short of a blood-related sister. It took a long time for her to see that me and Goku were just in tune with one another and that I wasn't a threat to her family, but me and her were able to get so much closer once she figured it out.

You know who didn't feel comfortable with it, though?

Vegeta.

Vegeta didn't know that Goku and I would never consider for even a moment that me and him could be something more. If he was being honest with himself, he was quite jealous to see me hanging off of the Saiyan like an ornament.

'Not that I care about this woman at all, but I'll be damned if Kakarot thinks that HE can have her!' Vegeta came up from behind the three of us and physically nuzzled his way between Goku and me. "It's time for your training." He barked at me.

That was strange of him... Today isn't even a training day...

Goku laughed wholeheartedly and pat Vegeta on his shoulder, "Lighten up, pal! She already trained with me today."

I heard Vegeta mumbling something under his breath on his way towards Trunks. Vegeta had found a new tactic to cease the laughter that pushed me and Goku closer together; he picked up Trunks with one hand, "Leave the bald man alone! Doesn't he have a pathetic enough life without the two of you reminding him?"

He placed Trunks down, of whom immediately ran off with Goten to play somewhere else. Vegeta crossed his arms and exited the room while still mumbling.

"That man sure does know how to kill a party, huh?" Bulma sighed. She started to continue her cooking. "Yeah... But I do want to train some more tonight, so I'm going to see if I can't find him." I announced.

The training room was empty when I arrived, but I didn't feel the need to find Vegeta before I could start training. Hmm... let's take this to 200x gravity today- I'm feeling pretty good today.

I clicked the buttons on the machine and watched as the room turned red and buzzed to life. The feint humming noise and mood lighting weren't exactly necessary to tell me that it was on since my body could absolutely feel it.

Wow, this is intense! I've never done 200x before!

I warmed up by doing 1,000 pushups, then I moved on to do 1,000 sit ups. One day, I'll be able to do 100,000 like Goku in this gravity!

"Nine hundred sixty four!" I muttered, doing another sit up. Just then, my body felt as though gravity had doubled down on my body and I was pinning against the floor under the weight, "Ah!" I screamed.
