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.
(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:
Slash mailing list. Will probably be
posting it there and at AFF.net

The
over-sized idiot disappeared into the house, contemplating his ‘strange’
arousal during the fight and his ‘odd’ method of killing the boar.

point.
Half
of the talk he’d had with Bulma that very morning had consisted of her gawking
at him blankly when he said that he had finally killed Tien.
Goku? Was Goku there?
gawking and into thoughtful silence.
When she emerged from that silence (it lasted but mere seconds) she
informed him that he must really be rubbing off on the idiot.
considering their most recent fight was (mostly) a POINTLESS and CHILDISH
temper-tantrum on Kakarot’s part, he was going to refer to his lover as ‘the
idiot’ for a little while.) And then
she pointed out that it was about damn time, because Kakarot had been ‘rubbing off’
on him for just about long enough.
Strange
woman. She just quietly told him that
Kakarot was probably going to fight against his Saiyan nature as hard as he
possibly could because he was really lighthearted and gentle.
and somewhat violent. (Where she got
these assumptions, he did not know.)
And he stood there with the roasting boar and thought about it.
they were fighting. But much like
usual, it occurred to him afterward.
Which,
of course, left him in a dilemma, because if there was anyone alive that could
help Kakarot figure out his ‘Saiyan’ side, it was certainly him.
his idiot with the intention to coax out that side of him, he would beat them
to bloody little pieces.) But, at the
same time, bringing out more of that natural instinct could very well cause
problems. Despite the fact that he was
technically ‘more powerful’ Kakarot was the passive personality in their
match.
What
to do?
(This
thought process would take him a while, considering that part of coaxing out
the Saiyan would include violent fighting, angry sex and fighting for
‘dominance.’) (Whom was he kidding?
been trapped up in a box of nice behavior for too long and had just been
offered a new playmate.)
“Hey,
‘Geta,” there was his idiot, re-emerging from the shower dressed in only
pants. He was scrubbing at his hair
with a towel and looking perplexed.
“You never told me why I got aroused.”
Because,
he thought to himself, you wanted to strip me naked and fuck me until I was
screaming your name. Of course he
didn’t impart this to him, just gave him a dead-stare until Kakarot squirmed
and gave up. (For now.)
“Lunch
ready?”
“Should
be.” And after Kakarot spent a good
thirteen minutes BLOWING the fire out, they stood around and ate the poor dead
boar (which had really been standing out there too long with no blood to be any
good anymore, and Vegeta growled in annoyance at himself when he realized that
the idiot could have made it taste good.
Stupid idiots with their stupid ability to cook.)
“Will
you tell me now?” Kakarot asked again once all the food was gone, the bones
disposed off and the fire-pit recovered with dirt. He looked a bit silly with the begging look on his face and the
chest full of muscles just out in the open for anyone to come by and see.
He
sighed heavily. (Not out loud, but
mentally, he heaved quite an impressive sigh.)
“Why does this bother you so much, Kakarot?”
“Well…because
it never happened before. And I want to
know. Is it a Saiyan thing?”
like he wasn’t sure if he wanted it to be a Saiyan thing or not.
Vegeta. After all, the big idiot was a
Saiyan why be upset when he started to act like one. (Because all his former friends went nuts and told him he was wrong
and evil because of it. You said it
yourself, Vegeta, as long as they can make him feel like an idiot everything is
fine.)
“Yes,
Kakarot, it is a Saiyan thing.”
“Oh,”
for a few brief seconds, Vegeta thought the conversation had met its end, but
those foolish hopes were helplessly dashed when Kakarot said: “So, why do
Saiyans get ‘aroused’ when they fight?”
It’s
your fault, his mind informed him, you wanted him to act more like a
Saiyan. So teach him how.
With
an extreme amount of patience (considering he still sort of wanted to kick his lover
in the gut and finish that fight he started) he said: “Because, in most cases,
fighting is a form of foreplay.”
“Oh.
Where
was a brick wall when you needed one?
Why couldn’t he be bashing his head in somewhere?
TEACH HIM ANYTHING? Or that old
perverted bastard, Master Roshi or whatever, why didn’t he sit Kakarot down and
tell him all these little details that would make Vegeta’s life easier.
have sex.”
“Oh,”
Kakarot said again—he swore to Kami if one more question came out of him he
would beat Kakarot straight into the ground and CACKLE while he tried to dig
his way back out.

Alright,
so Goku was going to ask another question, but Vegeta had that ‘my hands can
not possibly be curled into tighter fists at this point’
Which meant that Goku probably needed to find something else to do
besides ask a dozen silly questions.
(Even though he did have more questions.) So he stood there for a moment, tried to think of what they would
be doing if they hadn’t fought. (Found
that would probably be sparring right now.)
And then sighed.
He
had spent his shower thinking about this whole ‘aroused by fighting’ problem
and how there for a few seconds he had wanted to hold Vegeta down and have sex
with him. Found that to be a strange
thought because he didn’t really like the idea of holding someone down, but at
the same time at least part of him had to find this idea appealing because his
faded arousal returned to him. Flooded
his mind with a bunch of sweaty images of the Prince under him, wriggling for
his freedom and that was a very satisfying image indeed.
he would let him go and he wasn’t forcing him to do anything, just holding him
down.)
But
then the smell of food had interrupted those thoughts.
wasn’t very good.) And here he stood,
sighing. Shifting back and forth and
wondering what he was supposed to do or say now that he had started a fight,
asked a bunch of inane questions and made Vegeta annoyed.
Silence
stretched over them until Goku thought he was going to go nuts just standing
here, and then Vegeta cleared his throat and said—so patiently that he must be
contemplating how best to murder Goku—“Kakarot, I think we should work on your
Saiyan instincts.”
Wow.
said that to him. Of course,
considering he had told his so very nice and homicidal older brother that he
was “Goku” and not Kakarot and that he was from Earth not Vegeta-sei, and the
sheer fact that he didn’t really want to be a ‘Saiyan’y Saiyan was probably the
reason nobody offered to help him hone his overly violent heritage.
believed that the earth way was the best way and that all his friends were good
people that would stand next to him and he hadn’t known (then obviously) that
he was one day going to end up with Vegeta.
(Which was good, because if someone had told him while he was being
squeezed to death by a giant monkey that he was going to end up sleeping with
his attempted murderer he would had just died from disbelief.)
had no idea why he had twisted off the boar’s head or had nice flashes of
sweaty Vegeta trapped under him. But he
chalked it all up to that ‘Saiyan’ part of him that he had stuffed into a
bottle for so long.
“Kakarot?”
Vegeta said again—reminded him that he was supposed to be answering a question.
“Uh…like
what, Vegeta?”
“Everything.
today are going appeappen.”
He
smiled. ‘episodes’
be the root of his problem. It
certainly made sense, because thanks to Chichi dying and him getting with
Vegeta he didn’t really belong to ‘earth’ anymore. (Especially since all his loving friends told him that he was
wrong and being used.) So, it only made
sense that he was fighting his natural Saiyan instincts to become more Saiyan
like and Vegeta was definitely the only one that could tell him what was
‘right’ and ‘wrong’ when it came to their kind.
And
then, when he did things like twisting off a boar’s head he would better
equipped to figure out if it was ‘wrong’ or ‘okay.’ (Not that he wanted to twist off boar heads.)
dropped his gaze from Goku’s eyes, down his chest to his ‘personal areaspanspan

Smirked.
Kakarot?”
Evil,
evil Prince. Just that stare and the
smirk made all those beautiful images return to him, and the way his voice was
scratchy from the recent abuse to his throat, and Goku shivered without meaning
to. Felt all his blood informing him
just where it would like to start, and since he was very curious about this
Saiyan reaction, he figured hell, why not?
“Well, I do want to know why Saiyans get aroused by fighting…”
Vegeta
looked back up at his faspanspan style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Indeed.”

Wonder what they’ll be DOING next chapter. Don’t you?
Vegeta:
crocheting.
Gk: Oh, no I
think I’d like to knit.
Vegeta: Show
off.
Gk: What do
you mean?
Vegeta: you
only want to knit because it looks more complicated than crocheting.
Gk: No,
that’s not it!
Vegeta:
Wha>Whatever. Go then.
*huffs and storms away. *
Getarian:
Hn.
Saiyan? I think this is but the first of
their battles. But hopefully they’ll
end amicably.
Ah.
hentai mind work. *Notices MB popping
up from nowhere: Hentai?
scene for a nice steamy lemon at that point.
(wouldn’t have been realistic, but it would have been satisfying.)
Sadly,
the only one that knows what the ‘green smirk’ means is the ‘Green smirker’
himself.
See?
Vegeta asked Goku ‘can you handle me’ and now it was Vegeta’s turn to figure
out if he could handle Goku two chapters ago when I was biting my tongue.
(Of course if I keep coming up with these sorts of questions this story
will never ever end.)
Lol.
joke. I often tell people that they
argue like a ‘woman.’ (Never mind I too
am one.) But as my brother once told me
Women tend to argue the ‘what ifs.’
Poor Prince-y poo.
Lol.
was saying about the different POVs. It
makes the story that much more interesting.
That’s why I almost always write in multiple POVs.
Ah,
about that ‘You’re a Saiyan’ thing. If
you go back to Goku’s POV right after he killed the boar he says that he wanted
Vegeta to show up and tell him he didn’t do a bad thing.
‘become one’ with his Saiyan side. (Obviously
it comes out when he fights, but now that he has real angst and anger, its
going to come out a lot more.) So I
think Goku is looking for someone to tell him that he is *right * either as a
‘earthling’ or a ‘Saiyan’ and Vegeta is
the man to go to if you want to be ‘Saiyan.’
(Can you tell I have theories abounding about Goku’s thought processes?)
Don’t
be sorry. I was just like -.- when I
woke up the this morning. Or o.O?
on the page, started to write responses and there was a brand new one.
new baby reviews be born.)
Saiyajin Neko
Yeah.
Webtester 01:
Yeah.
eventually. Goku has problems.
Jaygoose:
I
had that very similar thought! Except
not ‘anger management’ but ‘Saiyan enlightenment.’
I
want 5000 hits on this story. (Am like
400 away or something now.) Then I can
die happy. (well, 5000 hits, all my
originals published and a happy life where I can write stories and not have to
GO TO WORK. Erg.)
Angry Monkey:
Piccolo…
… … o.O? *falls off chair and
dies laughing * Oh, but what would he
do with them?! *imagines Piccolo
working in Hooters. * Oh…need…air…can’t…brea…
Hectate18:
First
off: Ow. Coat hanger in your mouth?
*wince *
Yeah,
Vegeta is so cute. *grabs him and tries
to hug him, ends up crispened by ki-blasts *
*cough * Okay, that wasn’t a
great idea.
Macha:
*falls
out of chair giggling * Oh, yeah, I
could see a cheerleading squad behind Vegeta while he’s trying to explain
an-ian-instincts to Goku. Riiiiiight.
I
love side notes. Hmm.
These lemons that will soon be visiting us are going to be ‘different’
than the other ones we have seen thus far.
And I’m liking the way that Goku is going to learn about being a
Saiyan. I think its high time he
stopped running from his heritage. *straps
Goku down to a chair. Realizes this interferes
with future lemons and has to release him.*
Mechanical Butterfly:
Huh.
that nobody has ever really seen ‘all of him’
So there is that ‘you have no idea what you’ll get’ factor.
Well, I know what Vegeta’s going to get. *smirk * But nobody else
does.
Lol.
woman-logic. *pats the Prince *
YES!
I LOVE YOU GUYS!
*hugs them * *think I need
longer arms for this to work properly *
