Ch. 3

\"Dammit, Kakarot!\" Vegeta hissed.

Goku flickered into view. A shriek escaped his lips as scorching water pelted his body. He found himself in the shower with Vegeta!

\"Oh, geez!\" Goku\'s face flushed. \"I\'m so sorry,\" he gushed as he tumbled out of the stall.

Vegeta grunted. \"You\'ve become very clumsy with your powers,\" he said as he stepped out of the shower.

Goku sat in a puddle. His t-shirt clung to his chest and his jeans hugged every curve and muscle on his hips and thighs. Eyes large and filled with embarrassment sank low as Vegeta stepped past him to grab a towel. His tail waved slightly as he wrapped the terry cloth around his waist.

\"Get up, Kakarot,\" he said harshly as he walked out of the bathroom. He poked his head back in and tossed something at Goku. \"Put this on!\"

Goku caught the garment just as the door slammed. He set it aside and peeled off his soaking clothes. He unraveled whatever it was Vegeta threw at him--a bathrobe. Since obviously there are differences in the saiyans\' statures, the robe fit around Goku\'s chest okay, but it stopped just above his knees. He guided his tail through the small hole in the back and proceeded to tie the strip of terry cloth that drew the robe closed.

His tail swished happily. \"Not bad!\"

He gathered his clothes and walked out into Vegeta\'s bedroom. Dark eyes stared up at him. The smaller saiyan was dressed in a pair of denim shorts and a black muscle shirt. His arms were crossed tightly across his chest.

\"Out with it! What happened?\" he asked as he reached for Goku\'s dripping clothes.

\"Grrr... Chi Chi. Man! She\'s a real bitch!\"

\"Everyone knew that,\" he snatched the clothes.

\"I thought that\'s what I loved about her. But, SHEESH! Lately she\'s been--I don\'t know.\"

\"Let\'s talk this over some breakfast. The woman is out with Trunks, so you\'ll have to suffer through my cooking,\" he chuckled.

Goku burst out laughing. \"You cook!?\"

\"Sometimes,\" Vegeta smirked. \"I\'ll go down to the basement and toss these in the dryer.\"

Goku grabbed Vegeta\'s wrist. \"Wait... Why are you being so nice to me?\"

\"Baka! Is being nice a sin!?\" Vegeta snapped. He yanked his wrist from Goku\'s grasp and proceeded to the basement. \"Stupid Kakarot! Can\'t be nice to the clown. Huh!\" he muttered along the way.

Goku followed him downstairs and stopped at the kitchen. He watched Vegeta walk down to the basement and listened to his string of swears.

Goku grinned. \"That\'s better!\"

When Vegeta returned, the dining room table was spread with an array of breakfast entrees. Angry eyes turned to shock.

\"Kakarot--\"

\"I got hungry!\" Goku whined.

Vegeta laughed. \"You work fast!\"

Goku grabbed his rumbling tummy. \"Yup! Let\'s eat!\"

Ch. 4

A buzz sounded from the lower level of the house.

\"Your clothes are dry,\" Vegeta mumbled as he stared blankly at the TV screen.

\"Uh-huh,\" Goku sighed while flipping through the channels.

The two saiyans sat on opposite ends of the couch in Vegeta\'s den. Goku\'s ears perked when he heard a low rumble coming from Vegeta.

\"Excuse me,\" Vegeta said absently.

\"That good, huh?\"

\"Huh?\" Vegeta perked up. \"Oh. Oh, yes. You cook great. Thank you, Kakarot.\"

\"Aww. It\'s the least I could do. I mean, after I bitched and moaned about Chi Chi all morning.\"

\"It\'s a wonder how I kept my breakfast down,\" Vegeta chuckled. \"But it\'s okay. If the woman agrees, you can stay here as long as you need to. And I suppose those brats of yours could visit if you don\'t want to bother with your woman.\"

\"Vegeta, I don\'t know--\"

Vegeta slammed his fist on the couch\'s arm. \"Well, where else are you going to stay!?\" he roared.

\"Alright, Vegeta.\"

He looked over at him. Vegeta\'s head hung low and his eyes were squeezed shut. He crawled over to him. Leather squeaked as he settled next to him.

\"Vegeta... hey.\"

He didn\'t move. \"What if--\" He paused.

\"\'What if\' what, Vegeta?\" he asked as he put an arm around Vegeta\'s shoulders. He pulled him close.

\"It\'s difficult to explain, Kakarot.\" He looked up into the larger saiyan\'s eyes.

Goku gazed back in silence.

\"Remember what we talked about last night--saiyan senses?\"

Goku nodded.

\"You questioned my hurting Bulma. It was unintentional--on a certain level. We saiyans--\" Vegeta paused looking for the right words to say. \"Usually we find companionship with other saiyans. And what an Earth woman may think of as painful, another saiyan would find it pleasurable.\"

\"But saiyan women were virtually non-existent, right?\"

\"Yes, Kakarot. And you must remember that you and I aren\'t human. Humans and saiyans are two different breeds.\"

\"I think I\'m understanding...\"

\"Do you?\" Vegeta looked away.

He returned his eyes to Goku\'s form and pulled himself onto his lap. Vegeta straddled the larger saiyan\'s thighs. His tail snaked under the hem of the bathrobe and brushed slightly against Goku\'s inner thighs.

\"What\'s say we do away with this?\" Vegeta rasped.

He untied the strip of terry cloth that held the robe closed. He slipped his hands under the fabric and teased each nipple to hardness.

Goku pressed his head against the back of the couch. \" I think I understand now.\" He let out a low moan. \"And you smell so--\"

The warm scent clouded Goku\'s mind. He gripped Vegeta\'s waist and pulled him close. He ground his now semi-hard arousal between Vegeta\'s thighs.

\"K-Kakarot...\"

When Vegeta said his name, Goku looked lovingly at him. As Vegeta opened his mouth to speak again, Goku startled at the sight of a pair of fangs.

\"Don\'t be afraid, Kakarot. It\'s only to mark what is ours.\" Vegeta lowered his head to the portion of Goku\'s body where shoulder meets neck. \"Say you\'ll be mine, Kakarot.\"

Goku shuddered at the heat that grazed his neck. \"Yes, my prince.\"

Vegeta extended his tongue to lap at the flesh. He grew dizzy as he took in the similar musk that emanated from Goku.

\"Kakarot. You know what this is, don\'t you?\"

\"I think--We\'re in rut.\"

\"I see you are in touch with your senses somewhat. You just need someone to help you regain them.\" He nipped Goku\'s flesh and ran his fingers through his unruly raven locks. \"Are you ready... my love?\"

Goku could only nod. Just when Vegeta was about to mark him, he heard a door slam. They both jumped. Vegeta dashed to another chair while Goku re-closed his robe.

\"Vegeta?\" Bulma poked her head into the den.

\"What is it, woman?\"

Bulma smiled. \"I just wanted to let you know that Trunks and I made it back safely. Oh, hi, Goku!\" She hugged them both then left.

\"Curse that woman!\" Vegeta crossed his arms and slouched in his seat.
