Welcome to Boxer & Rice

Headcanon; nudity is a very, VERY common thing on Vegetasei, given that Saiyans don’t have the nudity/sex stigma that humans have, and Vegetasei is very, VERY hot. There’s nothing sexual about nudity among Saiyans. If a Saiyan wants to be sexual, nude or clothed, he’ll have his tail raised up in a specific way, like straight up in the air in a nice arch, exposing his tail gland. Or if he’s in heat, out and about, spreading his hormones everywhere, or even pregnant, THAT is considered sexual. But nudity all by itself? Nah. Wearing clothes is actually the weird thing. Or a status thing. Like royals always wear their armor.

What’s going on.

Let’s start with Bardock. He’s carrying Kakarot (for those of you not familiar with my hc’s, Bardock is the carrier for all his three cubs. Toma is the source of Cumber and Raditz, and Gine is Kakarot’s source), and he’s getting ogled at by two Saiyans sitting at a table. Pregnant Saiyans are extremely attractive because of all the hormones they are producing. Another hc of mine; Saiyans are VERY scent oriented, even more than visual.

Gine is growling at the ogling Saiyans, his puffed out and angrily waving tail means Gine is about to tear them a new one for daring to stare at his mate while said mate is carrying Gine’s cub. Saiyans are extremely protective of their pregnant mates, especially when they’re pregnant with their own ‘flesh and blood’ cub.

Toma is chasing a young Raditz (in Earth years, Raditz would be 15 years old), trying to stop the playful cub from causing mayhem.

Raditz is chasing a bachi.

Bachis are companions (’pets’ in human terms), and very expensive. When mature, they produce a sweet nectar during the end of the rain seasons when flowers blossom. Wild bachis live in colonies and have giant hives where they collect nectar. Saiyans, especially poor families, risk stealing their nectar and get stung for it. The sting causes extreme swelling of the affected area, pain, and reddening. It's treated by healing tanks, antidotes, or by itself, lasting a couple of cycles.
Bachis are very intelligent. They understand the basic concepts of trading and errands, making them reliable companions for shopping sprees, and carrying out chores.

This bachi happens to be Prince Vegeta’s companion.

That day, Nappa had taken a young Prince Vegeta (4-5 years old in human terms, and very mature for his age) to the Marketplace to do some errands and whatnot. Vegeta decided to take his companion with him, and now his companion is fleeing for its life.

What happens next?

Raditz manages to capture the poor insect-like creature and tears its head off with his teeth. Vegeta runs to his fallen companion and is left in awe at the savagery of this third class cub. He is so struck by Raditz’s display that Vegeta becomes obsessed with him.

Raditz sees the young Prince and offers him a piece of the bachi for Vegeta to eat, not knowing that this is a Prince nor that he just killed his companion. Raditz is a bit slow in the head ^^

Toma finally catches up to his cub and gasps when he sees Raditz being so casual with a royal.

Nappa is furious about the whole ordeal, and Toma starts apologizing profusely for his cub’s behavior, while Gine and Bardock approach them to see what’s going on.

That’s the scene I’ve had in my mind for 3 years and I finally was able to put it into words XD Vegeta and Raditz’s first encounter
