Private Property

Vegeta woke up hours later. The sun was setting and Goku was no longer in bed with him. Stretching and sighing he got up. He expected to see the younger man sitting on the couch or in the kitchen, but upon further investigation the man was gone.

At this Vegeta frowned. Where was the younger sayian? Walking into the kitchen he spotted a note on the counter. He smirked. It was addressed to him.

Vegeta,

I woke up and you were still out cold. I knew that you needed your sleep so I just left. I'm dancing until midnight tonight, so if you want to stay, please do. I feel we need to talk. There is tons of food in the fridge so if you want something to eat, go for it.

If you're feeling up to it, you can come meet me after the show. Flare your ki so I know you're looking. I'll flare mine and you can find me. You were pretty gone last night so I don't know if you remember where the club is.
Feel better,

Kakarot

Vegeta frowned. Kakarot. He had signed it Kakarot. Why had the other man done this? Vegeta shook his head. The younger sayian was so odd sometimes. He would never understand.

He read over the note one more time. He didn't feel up to meeting Kakarot, but yes they needed to talk. He would stay.

--

Midnight rolled around and Vegeta heard a popping noise in the kitchen. Kakarot was home.

"Hello? Vegeta?' his timid voice called out.

"In here." He grunted. Vegeta inwardly sighed. He would have to have a serious conversation with the other man. He wasn't sure what was going on himself. It was going to be tough, and he was dreading it. He was never good with such trivial things as emotions.

Watching Goku come around the corner Vegeta's eyes nearly bugged out of his head. Kakarot was in his laced up leather pants and shirtless. Blushing Vegeta turned away. Thankfully Goku didn't notice.

Goku headed towards his room. "I'll be right back Vegeta, I need to change." Vegeta nodded dumbly.
Coming back out in a pair of gym shorts and a baggy t-shit the taller sayian flopped down on the couch next to Vegeta. He smiled. "Thanks for staying."

Vegeta nodded. "It was important."

Goku cleared his throat. He didn't know where to start. "So um…"

Vegeta sighed. "About this morning Kakarot…" Goku nodded for the shorter man to continue. "I don't…it was…fuck." He fisted his hand into his hair frustrated. He was a jumbled mess. What did this morning mean? Clearly he had feelings for the other sayian, but that in its self was confusing. He went from hating the other man to constantly waiting for him, to screwing him in less than a year. What did it mean? "Kakarot, I don't know what's going on. I have always felt… passionately for you. I always just assumed that it happened to be hate. Clearly it isn't that anymore, if it was that ever." He paused and took a long breath. This was so hard. "Kakarot, after thinking about it all day, I have come to the conclusion that I have …fe-feelings for you." He turned his eyes to the floor.

Goku laughed. He laughed hard.

Grimacing at this Vegeta stood up. "Very well." He snapped. "I can see I have wasted my time." He growled and started to walk towards the door.

"Vegeta! Wait! Don't go." Goku said smiling and grabbing his arm. Vegeta turned back towards him and punched him in the face.

"Fuck you clown!" he roared.

Goku rubbed his jaw. "That wasn't very nice Vegeta. I wasn't laughing in a mean way. I just thought that it was funny that you spent hours thinking and that you only came up with that "you have feelings for me." It just really struck me as funny. Of course you have feelings for me. Why would you have looked for so long otherwise?"

"Hn." Vegeta replied. He didn't walk any farther though. "So what does this mean Kakarot?"

Goku rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't know Vegeta. I mean what do you want it to mean?"

Vegeta knew exactly what he wanted it to mean, but he wasn't sure about telling the taller man yet.

The shorter man sighed and started pacing. "I am unsure as well. This changes everything I felt I had figured out. Things have been so confusing for me since Bulma and I parted that sometimes I'm not even sure why I am still on this planet."

"Hold on. You and Bulma split up? When?"

Vegeta waved his hand at this. "It is unimportant. We both felt that we no longer fit well together but have remained… friends." He frowned at this.

Goku nodded. "That's better than Chichi and I at least. I haven't talked to her in months. Not since I got a message that she was sending divorce papers over."

Vegeta nodded at this, unsure what to say.

Walking over to him Goku took his hand. "Come and sit with me. We'll watch TV and think about this later. We don't have to decide right now do we?"

Yes, yes they did have to decide right now. Vegeta dropped Goku's hand and clenched his fits. He had, had enough of beating around the bush. "Kakarot, you are to become my mate. Understand?"

Goku blinked at him. "Yo-your what?"

"My mate Kakarot." Vegeta said in a frustrated tone. "In traditional Sayian culture we did not marry, or "date" as you call it. When we saw someone we wanted we merely took them."

"You wa-want me?" Goku sputtered his eyes bugging out of his head, "I mean I knew that you were interested in my body, but you want a relationship?"

Vegeta turned a slight scarlet color and didn't meet Goku's eyes. "Are you saying that you do not wish to be in a relationship with me Kakarot?"

Goku scratched the back of his head and looked at the floor. "Gee Vegeta, I can't say that I ever really thought about it like that. I thought that this was all physical."

Vegeta nodded, crestfallen. "I understand Kakarot. If that is all you wish for this to be, I suppose…"

"That's not what I necessarily want." Goku interrupted. "Honestly Vegeta, I don't know what I want at this point. I think… that's just it. I need to think."

Vegeta smirked slightly to himself. It was just like Kakarot to not be willingly taken. This was just another battle between the two of them. This time however Vegeta wasn't going to lose. Goku was to be his and that was that.

"So be it Kakarot. If you need your thinking time, I suppose I shall leave you to it."

Walking towards the door once again he heard Goku intake a breath. Pausing just slightly he waited.

"Wait, Vegeta. You don't have to leave you know. I mean you can stay."

Vegeta grinned. Score one for him; but the battle was far from over. He turned his head back towards
Goku composing himself first.

"As you wish Kakarot, I shall stay."

Goku smiled. "Great! Let's just relax okay? I'm beat from dancing. I did it all night tonight you know. I don't think I left the stage once!"

A spike of jealously shot through Vegeta's body and he suppressed a growl. He didn't like to think of others eyeing Kakarot. His Kakarot; or at least soon to be.

"Hn." He grunted out. "What is it you wanted to do? Watch that ridiculous box? I have better things to do with my time then watch pathetic humans fawn all over each other you know."

Goku frowned slightly, "Oh well I…"

Grabbing Goku's wrist and going over to the couch Vegeta pulled the taller man down next to him. "Turn it on Kakarot, if that's what you want."

Goku grinned and grabbed the remote. Flipping on the TV he sighed and relaxed. He wasn't much for "TV" in general but he had "Die Hard" in the DvD player and knew that might interest Vegeta.

Sure enough later…

Vegeta laughed, "Yippie-ki-yay, motherfucker. I must say that this human is quite clever Kakarot. What did you say this movie was again?"

"Die Hard. There are 3 more of these movies you know."

Quirking an eyebrow Vegeta didn't say anything, but Goku knew that he was interested. He smiled to himself and slid down the couch. He leaned back and rested on Vegeta's lap much like it was a pillow.

"Wake me when it's over." Goku said yawning and closing his eyes.

"I will." Vegeta replied as he ran his fingers through Goku's soft spikes. He smirked and thought to himself, "Score two" and returned his attention back to the movie.
