<br />
<br />
"So. What do we do now?" asked Brad. <br />
<br />
"T.C.! Come back immediately!" hissed Goku. <br />
<br />
"I'll get it, dude!" He called over his shoulder. <br />
<br />
Vegeta disappeared behind a group of trees. <br />
<br />
"Hey guys! I found a cave!" came a Vegeta's voice. <br />
<br />
Everyone rushed to a small cave and threw their pits into it. <br />
<br />
"Pretty tiny, but better than nothing!" said J.D. as he looked around inside. <br />
<br />
"You are right." Vegeta agreed. <br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
Vegeta and J.D. came out of the cave. <br />
<br />
"I'm hungry! What about you guys?" asked T.C. <br />
<br />
Goku looked at him and his stomach growled as if in confirmation. <br />
<br />
All eyes focused on him and he blushed. <br />
<br />
"Uh ... well ..." he stammered, embarrassed.<br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
“Jay and Brad are looking for a river or something like that.” Vegeta paused. <br />
<br />
"BB and J.D. you go looking for firewood." <br />
<br />
"And what are you doing, T.C.?" Goku asked him. <br />
<br />
Vegeta gave him a condescending look. <br />
<br />
“Catch dinner.” He turned to the others. "Any special requests?" <br />
<br />
Everyone shook their heads. <br />
<br />
"Well, then there will be wild boar on a spit today." <br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
The meat was tender and melted on the tongue. <br />
<br />
Sighing pleasantly, He licked his fingers. <br />
<br />
"I haven't eaten that good in a long time." said Goku, leaning against the stump behind him. <br />
<br />
"I have to agree with him, T.C .. That tasted really good." <br />
<br />
Vegeta shrugged my shoulders and stuffed the last piece of meat into his mouth. <br />
<br />Goku looked up at the stars. <br />
<br />
They glittered. <br />
<br />
And the night was as black as Vegeta's eyes. <br />
<br />
A shiver ran through his body as he thought of the day Vegeta was stabbed. <br />
<br />
Oh God, how afraid He was for him. <br />
<br />
But it all turned out well. <br />
<br />
Goku frowned. <br />
<br />
But what about the conversation Vegeta had had with his in-laws before they were called. <br />
<br />
Mrs. Briefs had said his case was being reopened, Vegeta winced. <br />
<br />
Just why? <br />
<br />
What was He hiding from him? <br />
<br />
It definitely had something to do with the murder Vegeta had committed. <br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
Goku had been staring at the stars for 10 full minutes. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile the others had gone into the cave and gone to sleep. <br /><br />
Vegeta put out the fire and stood in front of him. <br />
<br />
The moonlight illuminated one side of Goku's face, but the other remained shrouded in shadow. <br />
<br />
What was he thinking of? <br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
Darkness suddenly enveloped him. <br />
<br />
A thick cloud had drawn in front of the moon. <br />
<br />
A figure stood before him. <br />
<br />
Vegeta ... <br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
Goku looked up at him. <br />
<br />
He couldn't see his eyes. <br />
<br />
But then he raised his arms and pulled him down to him. <br />
<br />
Lips went to his. <br />
<br />
The fire was burning. <br />
<br />
Suddenly Goku broke the kiss. <br />
"What is?" Vegeta asked and sat on his lap. <br />
<br />
The cloud passed. <br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
"Why don't you want your case to be reopened, Vegeta?" Goku asked directly. <br />
<br />
He noticed Vegeta freeze.<br />
<br />
Why was this subject so uncomfortable? <br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
How did He come up with it now? <br />
<br />
And why did it have to be this question? <br />
<br />
The ones He didn't want to answer? <br />
<br />
He got up abruptly and leaned against a tree. <br />
<br />
Arms crossed. <br />
<br />
"Why do you want to know that?" he asked viciously. <br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
Goku noticed how Vegeta was moving away from him. <br />
<br />
Physically as well as emotionally. <br />
<br />
"I can tell you why, Vegeta. I know you better than anyone. I know how you think, I know what you feel. But I also sense if someone has secrets from me. And you Vegeta ... you have a big one Secret from me for more than 2 years. "<br />
<br />
Vegeta hissed. <br />
<br />
"The others are still awake and hear every word." He said softly. <br />
<br />
"So what? Should you hear it.But God grace them if you keep telling them. But if you do, I'll make hell of you the rest of the time until you get to death row, ”he said. <br />
<br />
"If you really want to talk to, all right - but not here." replied Vegeta and stepped away from the cave. <br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
He let Goku`s said go through his mind again while you went to another place. <br />
<br />
Did He really know how He was thinking and what He was feeling. <br />
<br />
If that was true, then He had underestimated him. <br />
<br />
Actually, He, Vegeta, had thought nobody could empathize with what He was feeling. <br />
<br />
But again He was wrong. <br />
<br />
Well one could ... Goku. <br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
They stopped at a small lake that Brad and Jay had discovered. <br />
<br />
Goku sat down on a stone. <br />
<br />
He looked over at Vegeta. <br />
<br />He stood by the water and looked at the clear sky. <br />
<br />
"I killed you ..." a voice whispered. <br />
<br />
Vegeta turned to him. <br />
<br />
"I killed Bulma." he said again. <br />
<br />
Goku looked at him. He didn't quite understand. <br />
<br />
Why would Vegeta kill his wife when he'd loved her. <br />
<br />
"When we first slept together, I had a nightmare, remember?" yes of course He still knew that. You never forgot something like that. <br />
<br />
"In this nightmare, I saw how I followed her. She ran away from me. She was always looking around to see if she could hide. But there was nothing in this alley. She looked at me in panic when she noticed It was a dead end. For a moment my eyes went black. Then ... she was lying in front of me ... on the floor ... She whispered something ... ... a word that haunts me in my dreams to this day ... "< br />
<br />Goku stared at him. Was it really all true? <br />
<br />
••• <br />
<br />
Vegeta started to tremble. <br />
<br />
He sank to his knees and held his head. <br />
<br />
Tears ran down his cheeks. <br />
<br />
"I ... I ... killed you ... just for cheating on you," he sobbed. <br />
<br />
Suddenly two strong arms wrapped around him and held him tight. <br />
<br />
He leaned on Goku's shoulder. <br />
<br />
After a few minutes, He raised his head. <br />
<br />
"Why are you still holding on to me? My God, I killed 2 people, how can you still hug me?" he asked, looking deep into his eyes. <br />
<br />
"Because I love you ..." he said and kissed the surprised Vegeta on the mouth <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Isn't that sad? <br />
