Terms of Agreement
Goku reappears on the dark rocky plains directly behind Vegeta and is greeted by a sudden unfriendly round kick to the side of the head he barely has enough time to register and block it.
"FUCK! Kakarot! I hate when you do that!" Vegeta relaxes a little when he realizes who has snuck up on him. "Idiot!" He wipes his hand across his face then turns back around running his hands through his hair with obvious distress. "Go away. I don't want to spar."
Goku doesn't move, trying to think of the best way to ask what's wrong. The way that won't get him immediately slammed into the dirt with a cracked rib. The way that won't result in a spar he didn't come here for. ...Why did I come here?
"I said GO! AWAY!" Vegeta whips around with frightening intensity and hurls a small ball of ki at Goku's face. Goku deflects it and readies his own but pauses when the light from the ki reveals an expression on Vegeta’s face Goku hadn't seen since the other Saiyan was dying in front of him on Namek.
Vegeta turns his head away and tries to produce a his usual grumpy scowl, but Goku has already caught the wet streaks and quaking mouth. The ki in his hand fizzles out.
"Vegeta..." he reaches towards the other's shoulder but it never makes contact.
"Leave me alone." Vegeta has already walked off and sat on the edge of a cliff where he lets a long heavy silence hang between them.
"I shattered her. I fucking... shattered her." When he finally speaks it is a barely audible whisper and Goku raises his brow in confusion. "I thought” Vegeta pauses to breathe, to keep himself composed, “I killed her." He presses his face into his hands inhaling sharply as he tries to stifle a choked sob, "I almost did. Fuck."
"Bulma?"
"Yes, Bulma! You idiot! Who else?!" he turns an agitated glare towards Goku, "because of that damn stupid fruit... I couldn't- It was already hard enough! So fucking hard." and then she had to go and do that thing she loves. She knows I lose it when she does that, she knows... "I didn't mean to lose control like that." he murmurs to himself. “It was just a momentary lapse…” He can still hear her agonizing screams in his head and tries to drown it out with a deep sharp anguished one of his own. He charges up a blast and fires it off into the distances. The crack and crumbling of the rock fills the dead quiet of the canyon.
Goku takes a step back prepared to have to fight the unstable Saiyan. "Is... Is she ok?"
"Yes! Yes she's fine! Senzu can heal any wound, right? She's fan-fucking-tastic after almost dying in our bed, Kakarot! NO! SHE’S NOT OK! SHE CAN’T EVEN FUCKING LOOK AT ME! And I-" I ruined our goddamn marriage by fucking her instead of you! "Tch. Ironic."
"What's ironic?"
"Shut up. I know what you're thinking. ….We should have- ...should have just stayed on that stupid planet and-" He scoffs at the thought and fires another blast at the same crumbling mountain in the distance while Goku suddenly feels the dangerous urge to say ‘I-told-you-so’ creep in and he can't resist.
"Must hurt to admit that the-third-class-idiot was right about somethin’."
His offhanded remark left him wholly unprepared for Vegeta's fist which was now smashing into his cheek bone, "YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! IT HURTS TO ADMIT I'M A DANGER TO MY WIFE! I almost killed her! How dare-" His jaw clenches trying to hold back more but fails, "And it's your fault! It's your fault we went to that stupid fucking planet and- and your fault you eat everything you fucking see! It’s your fault it’s worse than ever and your fault I-" He breaks to slam his fist back into Goku’s face.
"How is it my fault?! How is ANY of this my fault?!" Goku stutters out between the ensuing exchange of blows, "You went with me! You ate it too! You-" He manages to catch a right straight and gain the upper hand, "Don’t try and blame me just because- because you're a coward who can’t-"
"Coward?! A COWARD?!” He shoves Goku, “I’m not afraid of you Kakarot! I’m not afraid of anything! I was trying to protect my wife! And now-"
“Protect?” Goku scoffs and pushes him back harder, "That excuse is weaker than you, Vegeta! It was not about ‘protecting’ her and it was not my fault! You are afraid! Afraid that you-”
"Do you have no respect for the traditions of this culture?! Do you really not fucking care?!” Vegeta exclaims.
“What? I- Of course I- …. Since when do you care about anything other than Saiyan pride!?"
"We have families! Kakarot! I care about Bulma! And my son!" He pauses and looks at Goku's indecipherable expression. “What the fuck did you think was going to come of this?!”
There is a long pause as Goku hesitates in his stance. He looks away from Vegeta as he says it, “...I thought… maybe we were gonna… do it… again…”
Vegeta narrows his eyes at him in cynical disbelief, “And why on Earth would you think that?”
“Because it… felt good.”
“Because.” Vegeta repeats slowly as he crosses his arms. “It felt good.”
“Yeah.”
It is quiet for several moments but then Vegeta starts laughing. And laughing and laughing and Goku’s blush turns to crimson anger as he throws a hard powerful punch.
---
The first light of the morning is just beginning to peak over the mountains in the distance when Vegeta, who is exhausted, bloodied and broken finally concedes and Goku who looks about the same, lets him go.
They collapse to the ground completely winded, taking care not to lay on any cracked or fractured bones. Goku is watching the sun come up when the silence is finally broken by something other than their labored breathing.
"Not here."
"What?"
Vegeta breathes for a few moments before reiterating, "My conditions, idiot."
"Your..."
"Yes. I have conditions."
"For...?"
"For you! Don't make me spell it out! Not that you can read, anyway."
"For-" Goku can't hide his surprise. His eyes widen and the ghost of a smile traces his face despite the insult. "Me?"
"Yes. This can't… it won’t work unless there are..." he sits up, “restraints.” It's only getting worse... harder to control the stronger I get... and then being with you, his eyes flit back to Goku haunted with shame and desire, didn't help. Made me remember what it feels like not to hold back. Made me remember a lot of things. "Kakarot, I don't..."
"What are your conditions?" he doesn't mean to sound rude, rushing him through whatever thoughts he was working on, but he knows Vegeta could take all day and still never give a satisfying reason for why he changed his mind.
Vegeta tenses before responding, "Not here. Not on Earth. Our Kis can be too easily sensed by others."
Goku hums in agreement. “Ok.”
"I think… this goes without saying but… for the love of whatever Gods there are, never tell our wives."
"You don't think Bulma wou-"
"No. She would be devastated." Vegeta says quietly, regretfully. Goku stares at him with those big dark Saiyan eyes that were just so damn impossible to ignore and suddenly it’s so hard to hold on to the layers of tumultuous anxiety regarding his poor adjustments to his life on Earth always churning inside him around that face. Around another Saiyan. Maybe Goku was right. This is… different. He bites his lip and continues,
“The influence of… foreign substances hinders our... self control and opens us up to unnecessary risk. I know it will be difficult for your manner less appetite, but….." He scowls at Goku who has taken a sudden interest in the rocks around his hands in order to avoid meeting his glare. “We can’t make another mistake like we did on that planet.”
Goku begins to mutter out a response, “I didn’t make any mista-” until Vegeta shuts him up with a smack to the back of the head.
“Idiot! ….We will also never..." He trails off with embarrassment.
"Never what?"
"Never kiss." He admits reluctantly.
"What? Why not? It's-"
"Because it's just sex, Kakarot! Nothing else! And it makes us vulnerable." he snaps.
"To who? Who's going to sneak up on us when we're-"
"TO EACH OTHER YOU DUNCE! and last! …I'm always going to top.”
“What? Why? What if I wanna-”
“Because if you want me to fuck you, then I’m always going to fuck you.”
“But-”
“Oh, so… you don’t want me to fuck you?” He remarks snidely.
Goku’s face turns hot at both the language and the image. “That’s not… what I was gonna say...”
Vegeta lets out a tired sigh at Goku’s suddenly down trodden look, “Don’t take it personally, Kakarot. You just, really don't know what you're doing. And besides,” he smirks, “you seemed happy enough about it last time."
Goku pouts over the last two conditions and opens his mouth to counter but Vegeta speaks first.
"Either you agree now or I retract my offer completely."
Goku takes a moment and pretends to think about it. He knows Vegeta is not going to retract any offer. Not now. He's fairly confident he could convince him to drop one of the conditions, Maybe I should argue the kissing one? But he's exhausted. He's already argued with Vegeta enough for one day. He decides to leave those disagreements for future Goku. "Ok. I agree."
Vegeta nods and walks toward the edge of the cliff. Goku gets up and follows him then tries to ask as casually as possible where he should take them. Vegeta shrugs the other’s hand off his shoulder as he turns to face him.
“No, I am going home. I should be getting back to her after… what I did.” So he takes off leaving Goku alone with his thoughts.
