A Saiyan's Pride / Vegeta x Reader

Grocery Day

After the weird welcome with Vegeta, Chi-Chi offered to take me out to town while she got groceries for Goku's return. I didn't agree because I needed a distraction, but because she did. I knew Chi-Chi was going to miss Goku over the next 24 hours.

"Hmm... How do you decide what you need?" I asked curiously, picking up what looked to a large piece of broccoli. She chuckled and took it out of my hand before I was able to put it in my mouth, "Well, first of all you have to pay for this before eating it..."

She placed it in her basket before continuing, "You have to cut it up into smaller pieces and then cook it. I have these things you call recipes and they tell you how to make all sorts of yummy foods!"

"Hmm..." I picked up an egg, "Interesting... what do you do with this?" Chi-Chi grabbed a tray carrying 12 eggs, "That's actually used for a lot of diff- don't put it in your mouth, it's raw!" She swatted the egg from my hand and it broke on the floor, "Oh!"

"Seriously, what would you and Goku do without me?" She giggled. At least she found it endearing. "Starve, I suppose." I chuckled lightly. "Thank God you and Vegeta don't live together, I guess."

I furrowed my eyebrows and panicked a little inside, "Why would you say that?" The beautiful house wife continued walking down the isles with me, "Oh, come on! Don't think for a second I don't notice how you act whenever he's around... I'll tell you what, though- he sure doesn't like it when my Goku has his arm around you."

"Yeah, well... Vegeta pretty hard headed." I groaned. Chi-Chi offered me a smile, "So is Goku, but maybe in a different way... it's one of the many reasons I fell in love with him."

I sighed, "I don't think I could ever-"

"Oh, don't sell yourself short sweetie... If I know you and Vegeta- and I do- I'd say you Saiyans have a lot more heart than you like to admit." She told me, handing the basket of food to me to hold.

I hold it in one hand and let her sift through the onions to find the perfect ones, "I guess..." After finding the perfect bunch, she took the basket back from me, "Or maybe you need to find another man to see if you truly do have feelings for Vegeta."

Huh? Another man? ...I never really thought about that, honestly. All I've ever thought about was Vegeta for as long as I can remember.

"Sweetie, I hate to ask but could you grab me another dozen eggs; you remember where they are, don't you?" She asked. Uhhh.... No I do not. "Uh, yeah! Sure thing. Be right back..."

I wandered off in the direction we came to try finding the eggs. Eggs... eggs... eggs... oh! Maybe this is it?

I picked up a small white circle, I dunno... it's flakey. Oh- garlic? I set the garlic back down above it's price sign. Eggs.... hmm...

After adventuring to each station, I finally found the familiar cartons of white and brown eggs. Aha!

"Okay... a dozen eggs?" I muttered to myself. "Hey, I love your belt!" An elderly human told me. I looked down at my tail wrapped tightly around my waistline, "Thank you..." I responded. "Is it real fur?" she continued. "Uh, yep..."

I fixed my shirt back over my tail and awkwardly walked away from the conversation in my quest to find eggs. "This is hard- I miss planet Vegeta." I picked up a tray of eggs since that's what Chi-Chi had before. Maybe she wants two of these... a dozen is like- oh, I'll just grab a bunch.

I picked up three trays of eggs and balanced all 36 eggs in my arms.

Just as I whipped around to find Chi-Chi, the trays hit something hard and all go flying to the floor with most of them breaking, "Hey! Watch where the fuck you're walk-" Holy actual shit...

I stopped dead in my sentence to see the blue eyes staring back at me. "-ing..." The man smiled at me, which forced my cheeks to blush. "I'm sorry, miss..." He apologized in a steady tone. I found it curious that he had a sword slung around his back, but I supposed there were weirder things I had seen on this planet. Besides, I was more interested in the way his blue hair fell effortlessly over his face in strands. "Why were you carrying so many eggs, anyway?" He asked. I snapped out of my daydreaming, "Oh, I uh- I needed a dozen eggs for something."

He started to chuckle innocently, "A dozen is twelve..." My cheeks turned from pink to bright red out of embarrassment. Instead of making me feel worse, he grabbed a tray of eggs and offered it to me, "Here- this oughta do."

I reached both of my hands out and allowed him to place it gently into my hands, "Th-Thank you..." I quietly responded. "Hey... Does your jacket say Capsule Corp on it?"

"Huh?" He looked to his left shoulder at the patch, but doesn't respond with words. "Do you work there or something? I've never seen you there." I asked curiously. He took his hand and brushed his fingers through his blue hair, "Yeah... For a different location, though. I'm here on business. Do you work there?"

"Not particularly... I'm good friends with Bulma- her dad owns the company as I'm sure you know since you work there." I explained. "Wait, you know Bulma?" He asked, getting confused.

I go to explain, but I hear Chi-Chi's voice calling me faintly in the distance. "Yeah... Sorry, I have to go; it was amazing meeting you." I blushed, backing up towards Chi-Chi's voice. 'Hmm... That girl- why haven't I seen her before?' He wondered to himself. The handsome man raised two fingers as a goodbye and permitted a smirk to cross his face.

Who was he? Why didn't I ask for his name or something? God, he was so cute! He looked familiar for some reason, though...
