She said nothing and Bulma did not urge her to break her silence, the girl had hardly spoken since she was here but Bulma was sure that she could speak her language. At least she understood everything that was said to her ... what had Vegeta said to her? Since then she's even paler ...
<br />
Paw's fingertips gently touched her neck ... why did this have to happen ??
<br />
Bulma covered the girl without noticing the change and left the room. She stepped outside and before she closed the door she peeked once more at the distraught girl.When she turned to go back to Vegeta in the kitchen, she was shocked.
<br />
"You shouldn't have done that," Vegeta said emotionlessly as he loosened his crossed arms. Bulma grabbed her wildly pounding heart with both hands, she could barely stifle an outcry. "Vegeta," she hissed, "what are you doing here? You should wait in the kitchen." He shook his head resolutely "I won't be more than 3 meters away from you as long as the brat is in this house !!" he explained with * a lot * of emphasis.
<br />
"That could get pretty boring ..." Bulma said with a sarcastic grin, but Vegeta didn't make a face. "This is not a joke, Bulma" gulp. 'Bulma ??? '(1) Panic broke out in her again ...' oh my god !! '
<br />
Vegeta pushed away from the wall and stood up in front of her again, he looked sternly into her eyes but at the same time there was something else in his eyes: concern.
<br />Bulma thought that this expression was new and that it actually suited the Saja-Jin quite well. She took a step forward, put both of her hands on his shoulders and then leaned her head against his chest, she felt very confused at the moment and didn't understand what was going on. She therefore wanted to seek consolation from the person with whom she could always feel safe.
<br />
For a couple who had been together for years, Bulma's gesture was extraordinarily neutral and Vegeta also behaved just as one would expect of him: He didn't take her in his arms, he didn't pat her back or kiss her head comfortingly . He didn't make a face, but he looked down for a brief moment and even though it was quiet, he knew she was crying. He could hear the drops as they fell quietly and stealthily onto his combat suit.
<br />
Vegeta also knew that Bulma wasn't just crying because this brat was here, she was crying because of HIM.He must have scared her to death without really wanting to. But she wouldn't understand ... someone like her couldn't understand that either. She was born here on earth and never had to look at what he had seen so often, yes what he had DONE so often himself. If she had known just a small part of what Vegeta knew, that brat would be dead by now ... she would be DEAD.
<br />
Bulma began to sob softly. He SHOULD fucking comfort her! It took a lot of control that she didn't completely fall around his neck, but that damn monkey should finally put his arms around her and tell her everything would be fine ... 'Damn it, Vegeta! Don't make me beg !! '
<br />
He tried to understand her pain but couldn't ... not quite. He felt his discomfort mounting and he couldn't stay here, NO MORE. He had to go. Vegeta didn't know if she would forgive him but she would have to.Slowly he pushed his left leg back and took a step back. This wasn't a game, he couldn't control this situation and he couldn't comfort her. NOT NOW. Slowly Vegeta turned his head away from her and turned away.
<br />
She looked at him incomprehensibly.
<br />
For a moment, Bulma kept her arms in the air as if he were still there. She felt like a pile of misery when Vegeta suddenly just left. He stood there and just looked at her, and suddenly she knew that everything was different now. When Vegeta turned away it was like the world stopped. What was going on here?
<br />
More tears, tears of desperation ran like waterfalls from her reddened eyes and she felt her knees slowly give way. Before they buckled completely under her, Vegeta was there. He caught her, picked her up and carried her to her bed. Just because he couldn't comfort her didn't mean he couldn't be there for her.Still, he couldn't stay, how could he comfort her when he himself was completely suspended?
<br />
You have to rest a little, he would explain it to her later. But now he had to go looking for Kakarott, Kakarott or an entire army.
<br />
The proud prince of the Saja-Jin didn’t like to ask for help, and certainly not Kakarott, but there was no other way.
<br />
In all this time he had spent on earth, he had found something that sometimes meant more to him than his pride ... a family.
<br />
<br />
(1) I don't know exactly how it is now, but here the "Bulma ??" as much as that he never calls her by her real name, so if Vegeta really does it, then it's really bad. Sure, how I mean! ??
