The Meaning of Pride

Card

Time
for the warnings portion:

A.
I own nothing but my own two hands.
All the characters portrayed here were kidnapped from their show DBZ and
forced to enact my wishes.

B.
Whilst mostly I strive to make this �in character� and not �AU� we must
all remember it is fanfiction. (I�m
getting a bit snotty here, aren�t I?)

C.
Smut. Vegeta POV. Slash.
(That�s two boys bumping uglies, by the way.)

D.
If you didn�t read the warnings, you are on your own I have no sympathy
for you.

And
lastly:

Got this idea off the DBZ Saiyan
Slash mailing list. Will probably be
posting it there and at AFF.net

~~***

Showering together was most practical. That was what Vegeta told himself. It conserved water, soap, allowed him time
to memorize every curve and plane of his new lover�s body without having to be
coy about it. Practical, that was what
it was. The most practical thing. Which was why the water was running cold and
he was kissing the big oaf again, sliding against him and shivering under the
cold water, but not really caring because there wasn�t an inch of Kakarot that
was blazing hot to the touch.

So practical, that neither one of them noticed when
the brats found their house, didn�t hear their sons as they came in and started
lunch, didn�t hear them bickering good-naturedly back and forth or feel their
ki until there was a knock at the door.

�Alright guys,� that was his son, �Break it up in
there, lunch is getting cold.�

Had to move away from Kakarot, licked his lips, and
turned the water off. Forgot to bring
towels in the bathroom so used his ki to dry off. Felt Kakarot doing the same and picked his clothes up out of the
sink where he had tossed them.
Regretted not having locked the doors and put a huge �GO AWAY� sign on
the front lawn. But, wanted to see his
son so he was willing to spend some time not in constant bodily contact with
Kakarot.

They finally emerged from the bathroom and found
their sons tapping their fingers on the table impatiently while they stared
longingly at the food they had made.
Once their fathers were in sight, however, all that impatience
disappeared and they wheapheaping plates full of the food and gobbling it down
without so much as a pause to say hello.
But then, they were teenagers, and they did not have time to say hello.

Kakarot sat down and did the same. (Albeit slightly slower given his lips were
still swollen from kissing.) And Vegeta
gave in, sat down and started to eat.
Enjoyed the serenity and the simplicity of being able to sit at a table
with absolutely no humans around and eat.
Gave him the false impression that something had gone right in his life
after all.

That impression did not survive past Goten saying:
�Hey, Dad, why is Gohan so pissed? He�s
been telling everyone that Vegeta is manipulating you into�� he paused there
for a second �Perversion I think he said.�

He didn�t even breathe as he waited to see what
Kakarot was going to do. Didn�t want to
be the one to remind everyone that what Gohan thought was about equal to the
shit that he scrapped off his shoes.
Couldn�t make that decision for Kakarot, but didn�t want to have to
listen to some stupid human answer coming from the Saiyan.

�Who�s everyone?� was what he said.

Goten shrugged.
�Krillin asked me about it. So,
probably everyone, everyone. Krillin
said that he and Piccolo were trying to figure out what Vegeta was after this
time.�

He wanted to smile, because the idiot little
human-ized freaks were getting everything all wrong like they always did. Assuming that he was after something as if
he wasn�t good enough for their precious savior of the world. But even more so than that, there was the
undercurrent of fear in their worry, because they thought that Vegeta could
honestly take something from them. But
the amusement was short-lived. Wanted
to find the baldy and the string-bean and beat the shit out of them. Because they could influence Kakarot in a
way that not even his son could.

�You�re not after something, are you?� Goten
asked. Looked mildly concerned�as
concerned as a preoccupied teenager could.
�I mean this isn�t some deranged scheme to take over the planet or be
immortal or anything is it?�

�No,� Kakarot said, �Its not.�

Trunks punched Kakarot�s brat and hissed: �I told you
so!� He smiled in pride, because that
was his son.

He turned his attention away from the feuding
teenagers and looked at Kakarot was very quiet and did not look at all pleased
about this turn of events. Not that
Vegeta was surprist alt all that his �friends� were reacting this way, but then
Vegeta was pretty damn cynical. And
Kakarot seemed to be unfailingly optimistic.
�Clean up,� Vegeta said to his son.
Stood up and left the table, trusted the oversized one to follow him.

~~~***

It wasn�t so much he was surprised by his friends�
reaction to it as he was disappointed.
Terribly disappointed. Because
he had never once done something so basically mean to them and they seemed to
be convinced that they were perfectly in the right to criticize everything he
chose to do.

Followed Vegeta out of the house and stood outside
with him. Didn�t speak, wasn�t sure he
wanted to have to listen to Vegeta talk about how big of an idiot he was for
not having more pride in his heritage and telling his friends to go fuck
themselves. Wasn�t ready to have an
argument with him.

Was shocked
right out of lucidity when Vegeta looked at him and said: �What do you want to
do about them?�

Thought that he had reached his ability to be shocked out of his
mind when he had slept with him, and found that apparently the shocks were just
starting.

cla class=MsoBodyTextIndent style='text-indent:0in'> �They�re your friends, Kakarot. I do not care if they like me or not.� A wolfish grin. �I prefer it when they do not like me.�

Sighed.
Scratched that place on the back of his head that always tickled when he
got nervous. �I don�t know �Geta. Maybe they just need a couple of days to
calm down.� Knew that was not the best
course of action and besides it bugged him to let something just sit like this,
to let them sit around and talk about how Vegeta was using him or abusing him
or something. Bothered his to the very
core of his being and he let his arm drop, lowered his eyes, and said: �I think I should go talk to them.�

Vegeta stepped up into his line of sight, said:
�Don�t let them make you feel bad about who you are. You are a Saiyan.
Remember it.� Then he was
kissed, just a quick kiss, and Vegeta nodded, crossed his arms over his chest
and waited for Goku to leave.

Oh. He didn�t
want to go. Raised his fingers to his
forehead anyway, and with a sigh, instant transmissioned himself to where he
could feel Piccolo and Krillin were.
Found them on the flat, open part of the lookout and Krillin shrieked
(sort of like a girl) and said:

�Goku! I hate
it when you do that!�

Hn. So did
Chichi. But he actually cared about
what she had hated, and he was annoyed with Krillin, so he didn�t pull the old
�hey, I�m sorry routine� and skipped straight to �What are you guys
doing?�

�We�re uh��
Krillin looked nervous. Piccolo
didn�t look like he was going to jump in and save him anytime soon, so Krillin
gulped in a gulp of courage and said: �We were just talking about you
and�uh�Vegeta.�

�Oh?� he said�like a hapless fool��What about me and
Vegeta?�

�Well� You
see� Gohan sort of said that you and
Vegeta were. You know. Sleeping together. And I�er�we, all of us were worried.�

Worried that for once he might actually get to enjoy
himself instead of spending all of his time trying to live by the human rules
or dying only to be brought back by this group of people that liked him well
enough when he saved the planet but couldn�t stand him when he tried to be
himself. Bristled with annoyance, and
tried not to let that show, tried not to make them feel like he was angry at
them. �Why would you be worried?� He cocked his head to one side, played the
cheerful idiot one more time for the sake of humanity, �Does it matter?�

It didn�t really surprise him that much that Piccolo
would be on Gohan�s side. The two of
them had a sort of common blind spot when it came to their faults. He just shook his head and said: �He�s not using me. I�m not that dumb that I wouldn�t notice
someone trying to use me.�

�He�s tricky,� Krillin said, �And besides, how could
you�do that�with someone that tried to kill you? And your son? And your
pl?� Goku repressed the snort and the laughter that was in
his chest at the hypocrisy of that statement coming from the man who married
the former android. �Because he�s not
the same as he was then.� Didn�t like
having to say that. Felt as if he was
being made to justify himself and defend Vegeta and neither was necessary. He wasn�t doing anything wrong. If he had used the dragon balls to revive
Freiza, Kooler, Kid Buu and Cell so he could have a rousing game of tag than he
would feel as if he needed to take time out of his busy schedule of fighting to
explain to his friends that he was just bored stiff and needed the
entertainment. But he wasn�t
endangering the planet, he wasn�t hurting them and he didn�t really think it
was any of their damn business what he did with Vegeta. (Again, unless he and �Geta banded together
and decided to kill the planet for old times� sake.)

�Goku, how do you know he�s not the same?� Krillin
asked. Pleaded. Stared at him like that was somehow going to
change the truth.

�Because he�s not.�

�Yes he is,� that was a new voice, his son, and there
was an angry glare on his face, �He left Bulma pregnant� Or didn�t he tell you?�

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***

89
words shy of the desired word count, but alas, that is the end of this
chapter.

Gk: Ow.

Vegeta: Ow?

Gk: I just
got smacked upside thad wad with that flying plot twist.

Vegeta: I�m
just thankful I have yet to be hit with it.

Gk: Why did
I have to get hit first?

Vegeta: Because
it�s your asshole son that introduced the twist.

Gk: I better
get the best sex of the century for this.

Hectate 18:

Wowie! Two reviews in one day. Yeah!

Jaygoose:

Hmm. I like soda. Its fizzy.

Getarian:

No. Silly.
It�s not plagarism (unless you take this whole story and copy it and
just change the names.) But I
understand that worry, because if I read other folks stories while I�m writing
things will pop up that are similar.
(Which is why I generally don�t read while I write.)

Of
course there will still be interest in the fandom. I think I heard somewhere that DBZ fans are the second most loyal
(Trekkies being the first.) And you�re
going to let me know when you finish those ficcies right?

Mechanical Butterfly:

Sigh. I didn�t want the story to end. I love it too. So thanks for giving me an excuse to keep writing it.
