Song: "Where Angels Fear to Tread" by Bryan Adams



Vegeta's eyes swept over the unconscious figure, bringing a hand up to softly push ebony strands from the soft, gentle face; A look of concern crossed his features as he checked the clock on the wall. Goku had been unconscious for over four hours now, and though Vegeta hated to admit it, he was beginning to worry. After the man had fallen, Vegeta had carried him back to his own apartments inside of Capsule Corp., and had been watching over him ever since, using the quiet time to sort through his strewn thoughts and emotions.

Emotions…how he hated them. They were such complex things, an ocean of complexity that he hadn't liked to tread upon much for fear of drowning. Now, he had ventured too deeply, and was doing just that; drowning. Not that it was an unpleasant feeling, but it was alien to him, this raw emotion that pulsed through his veins, clouding his mind and making his heart feel as if it were three times too big for his body to encase.

He lifted the covers that lay softly across Goku's naked form and slipped under them, pressing his body tightly against the other man's, his eyes closing briefly as he inhaled the scent that he had recently become addicted to; Goku slumbered on, oblivious.

"Kakarott…" Vegeta said softly, his left hand stroking Goku's cheek. "This time it will be I who saves you; and I do swear on my honor, I will save you from this darkness." He leaned over, brushing his lips across the other saiyan's tenderly. "This darkness simply does not suit you." Vegeta smiled, knowing this day would change his life forever; earlier that day, when Goku had snapped out of his maddened daze, Vegeta had subconsciously made a decision; a decision that went against what he believed, against his better judgments. He would not suppress his feelings any longer; he would not deny himself or the other man the happiness they both craved so deeply. He no longer cared that this was the man he had sworn to conquer, the man that had drove him crazy for the last two decades, the man he…loved. Love. What a concept. The saiyan prince snorted softly.

Vegeta sneered despite himself at the thought of love. He still didn't see why two strong warriors…the greatest warriors in the galaxy, needed such a trivial thing. Maybe, the prince mused, it wasn't so trivial. It had already proved to be too complex for him to battle, and in the end, he had given in, totally and completely. He was now a prisoner to his own emotions, one in particular. His eyes strayed to Goku's face, following the lines of the man's profile lazily with deep appreciation for the man's beauty. "In the end…neither of us came out the winner, Kakarott. We have both been conquered; You were forced to cross over into darkness, and I into the light." He leaned forward again, draping one arm protectively over Goku's chest, his chin resting lightly above Goku's brow. Vegeta was too deep in his reflection, he didn't notice when Goku's eyes fluttered open softly.

Vegeta sighed, staring across the room and out the window. "Yes, Kakarott…I would do anything for you; I just hope you realize that you're stuck with me forever." He muttered quietly.

well i'm wrapped around your finger
i'm never letting go
you know i'm happy just to linger
and let the feeling flow

Goku blinked a few times, trying to determine whether or not he was awake or still asleep. His eyes lifted, and he could see a portion of the lower half of Vegeta's face as it rested against him; he then felt the arm that held him snugly against the prince's warm muscled body. Memories flooded back to him almost painfully, and he couldn't stop the violent shudder that wracked his body, finally alerting the other man that he was indeed awake. Vegeta lifted himself up on one elbow quickly, his hand moving in soothing circles over Goku's stomach.

"Shh….before you even start your incessant blabbing." The prince said quickly, seeing the familiar panic, sadness and stark horror that he had seen in Goku's eyes shortly before the man had passed out. "Just calm down…all that is over now." He finished, though he WAS still rather peeved about the earlier situation, but only because his pride had taken yet another blow. But what else was new?

Goku seemed to not even hear him. "Oh Kami, Vegeta! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me, I'm not sure what happened, but I really didn't know what I was doing and it won't ever happen –" he was cut off and silenced by Vegeta's soft lips pressing against his. His eyes widened and a gasp was forced from his throat, giving the prince the advantage he needed to slip his tongue between Goku's parted lips.

Goku moaned as Vegeta's tongue slid against his, shivering as electrifying heat shot through his groin. He kissed his prince in return, slowly circling his tongue around the other man's, his arms lifting to slide around Vegeta's neck.

Vegeta nearly lost his breath as he relished the feel of Goku's tongue against his, combined with the sweet and spicy taste and scent of the other warrior; yes, indeed, he was drowning into oblivion, and he didn't even care.

this must be an illusion
i know this can't be real
but right here and right now
this is paradise i feel

Goku suddenly frowned into the kiss, and pulled away, his eyes shifting to look into obsidian orbs that somehow seemed softer, more affectionate. The taller saiyan was wary…scared, almost. He licked his lips, savoring the taste of Vegeta's saliva before speaking.

"Vegeta…I…I don't want you to think you have to do this because of me." He paused, shaking his head. That didn't come out the way he wanted it to. "Please…please don't continue if you're going to push me away again." He whispered, tears rising in his eyes. He was unashamed of those tears as they spilled down his cheeks to drip onto the soft black bed sheets below him.

Vegeta lowered his head slightly, a flush spreading across his cheeks; this was all new to him, and even now, he wanted to scoff at the man. But watching the strong warrior's tears fall, he was once again amazed by Goku's beauty, both inner and outer. He had come to truly appreciate the human-raised saiyan and his strange ways, his un-saiyan attitudes and beliefs that had accosted his own and changed him forever. What would he be without Goku? Nothing. He'd most likely be dead, and rotting in hell. He had not only saved his life, but saved him from himself.

Once again, the sadness and anger rose inside him, an inner voice telling him that he was not good enough for this man, prince or not. He had hurt him so much…caused him so much pain; and not only him, but countless other innocents, whom had been terrorized and/ or killed on his account, if not by his own hand. He choked on a strangled sob, his head dropping as large bitter tears spilled down his cheeks. The grip Goku had around his neck tightened, and he lifted his head, taking a deep breath.

"Kakarott…" He began, sniffing and absently wiping his cheek. "Are…are you sure…that you want me? I have wronged so many…hurt so many…hurt…you…" The saiyan prince's strong, proud countenance cracked and shattered, his head bowing as he was wracked by violent sobs.

Goku's mouth opened in surprise, his eyes softening. His own tears began once again as he pulled Vegeta tightly against his chest, stroking a large hand through the prince's upswept hair in attempt to comfort him. He pressed his face into the lightly fragrant hair, then pulled away slightly with a small laugh. Vegeta kept his face pressed against Goku's chest, his sobs slowing somewhat, but not losing their ferocity.

"Silly Vegeta!" Goku chortled softly, still hugging the man tightly to him. "How many times have you helped me save the earth? How many people have you saved from death and destruction? How many good deeds have you done? Do those not mean anything to you?"

Vegeta hissed softly, his head coming up from Goku's chest. "Kakarott…it's true, I did save many people…but…it was for my own benefit, not theirs."

Goku smiled softly. "So you say, but I don't believe that. I know you, Vegeta. Better than anyone else in this world…possibly even better than yourself! You DID have your own reasons, true…but under it all, you were doing the right thing simply because it was right. You have changed so much, Vegeta! You have made a difference in so many lives…most of all, mine."

"Despite all the times you hurt me…physically or…otherwise…I don't look back with anything but appreciation." Goku's smile widened as Vegeta's sobs finally stopped, his face a mask of confusion and awe. "Vegeta…if none of that had happened, we probably would never have met, and I never…I never would have fallen in love with the proud, cranky saiyan warrior, that I am proud…" Goku paused, swallowing a sob. "to call my prince."

Vegeta was speechless. He simply stared at Goku as if he had just sprouted antlers. He blinked, his tears dried, though the ache inside his chest told him his mind still wished to cry like an infant. He lifted his hand and brushed his thumb across Goku's trembling lower lip, his own lips turning up into a triumphant smile. He then spoke, his voice husky, thick with emotion. "Then so be it." He said, capturing the other man's mouth into another searing kiss, one hand moving down to remove his clothing.

i never thought i'd find someone to move me
someone who could see right thru me
you found your way into my head
where even angels fear to tread

Smooth hands held his above his head, pressing them lightly into the mattress below him. Vegeta's mouth moved across the soft skin on his neck, gently teasing the scar made months before when they had marked each other; Goku gasped, spreading his legs as the smaller saiyan climbed on top of him, fitting himself between Goku's thighs tightly before continuing down to Goku's chest. Vegeta swirled his tongue along Goku's muscles, his hips slowly pumping against the other man, their lengths rubbing together deliciously, their sweat intermingling as their slick bodies moved together.

Goku moaned softly when Vegeta released his arms to run his hands lightly down Goku's sides to his hips, raising himself back to Goku's face where he pressed soft kisses along Goku's jaw. Their tongues met to dance outside of their mouths, entwining and devouring each other blissfully. Goku's lower lip was taken captive, Vegeta's teeth raking across the delicate inner skin to nip lightly on it's plumpness, drawing a thin line of crimson which the prince lapped at with delight. The taller man's scent drove him mad, the taste of his mouth was ambrosia on his tongue, but the taste of his blood…his blood, he craved like a drug. He simply could not get enough.

His stiff manhood throbbed as he sucked the small wound dry of it's scarlet liquid, small sounds of arousal coming from the man beneath him. Vegeta's mouth released the plump lip, his head falling back as he moved, pressing his arousal against Goku's tight entrance.

"Ahnnn..!" Goku gasped, his back arching off of the bed as Vegeta pressed himself forward, the tight unprepared entrance stretching painfully around his thickness. Both men gasped and panted over the next few minutes as Vegeta took his time, letting his own secretions lubricate the tight slot. After having pressed himself most of the way in, Vegeta pulled back out and thrust forward lightly, repeating the move a few times before they began a synchronization, Vegeta thrusting forward, Goku raising his hips to meet each thrust.

"Vegeta…." Goku panted, his eyes half-closed but stationary on the prince's dark orbs. Vegeta looked into his lover's eyes and thrust hard, making the taller man cry out. He watched as his thrusts pleasured Goku, each thrust growing harder and faster as the other man writhed beneath him. He moaned as he watched through narrowed slits, waves of pleasure making their way through his body.

A low growl tore through Vegeta's throat as his pleasure grew and Goku blinked as the weight that bore down upon him and had filled him deliciously, was suddenly gone. He was grabbed by the shoulders, pulled off of he bed and turned around, then roughly shoved forward so that he bent over across the edge of the bed, his face pressed into the soft mattress by a strong arm across the back of his neck. He hissed as he was entered swiftly from behind, his hands balling tightly in the midnight sheets.

"Ohhh Kami!" Vegeta yelled as he reentered the taller man, his hips slamming against Goku's ass, knocking the other saiyan's face harder into the mattress; the pace was quickened, his thrusts hard and rough, their bodies slapping against each other loudly. Goku thrust back against him, his face rising from the bed to whimper something that sounded like Vegeta's name.

Vegeta ran his tongue along Goku's backbone as he pounded into him, gritting his teeth when he reached around to stroke Goku's massive erection. Memories of being taken by Goku flooded his mind, a blaze of white-hot pleasure bursting from deep inside him, waves of pleasure washing over him relentlessly.

"Kakarottttttttttttt!" He screamed, his eyes closing tightly, head falling back as he thrust frantically, one hand pumping Goku's arousal. Goku shuddered as his name was screamed from the man behind him, the stimulation from front and back sending him into Elysium- like ecstasy.

"Grrrrrr VEGETAAA!" He growled and screamed as his seed spurted into the prince's hand. Vegeta lifted his hand quickly and began to lap at the spilt seed upon his hand, licking the luscious creaminess eagerly as his own need exploded, his last thrust taking him deeply into his lover, his ejaculate filling the man until overflowing. Rivulets of creamy liquid ran down the backs of Goku's thighs as both men collapsed upon the bed, arms and legs entwined around each other as they fell into an exhausted sleep.

the way we fit together
it's like we're meant to be
and right here and right now
this is paradise to me

A week later…

Ring ring!

"Hello, Trunks here." Trunks answered as he picked the receiver up.

"Hey, it's Goten." The young man on the other end replied. "Have they come out yet?"

Trunks snorted. "No, not yet. They sure do make a lot of noise though. I've had to move out of my rooms and sleep in one of the guest rooms downstairs. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I hadn't!" He huffed.

"That bad, huh? Well. It's been a week, maybe they'll come out soon?" Goten asked hopefully.

Trunks sighed. "Yea, hopefully."


The End
