Us Against the World (Vegeta X Reader)

I sat in bed thinking. How much longer is it going to go on like this? I missed the way it used to be, but I know we can never go back to that. Bulma is gone. And I mean gone gone.

Other than her, I only have Vegeta. He's changed just as drastically as I have since the incident with Yamcha. I don't know if our relationship will ever return to what it was... We're like two different people now. It's almost gotten to the point that I want him to go off to whatever he was doing before. I just want him to be happy... At the same time, I feel like what he was going off to do had nothing to do with him being happy.

I've been in bed long enough, I should probably go do something. I opened the bedroom door to see the lights out and candles everywhere. "V-Vegeta?" I said. He came around the corner, actually dressed nice. "Did you do all of this?"

"I figured you needed to smile again," he said. I noticed right then that I was actually smiling.

But as happy as I was, I knew he didn't actually want to make me happy, he just wanted to get out faster. "Vegeta, you didn't have to do this," I said, "you only have to put up with me."

"Maybe I want to see you happy," he said.

"Maybe you just want to get out of here faster," I said.

"Maybe I've changed my mind," he said.

"Yeah? And why would I believe that?" I said.

"Because I love you, dumbass," he said.

As much as I wanted to believe him, I couldn't. I shook my head and turned around. "Nice try, Vegeta," I said. I locked myself back in the bedroom.
