Love Is A Battleground

Comfort
He wasn't sure if it was his Saiyan strength or if it was his wife's medical prowess that helped him get through the illness; but one thing was for sure- he was comforted by the fact that you can only catch the chicken pox one time in your life.

Kiss
The road to becoming the Super Saiyan all-in-all was really nothing compared to the road to actually gathering the courage to kiss her the first time around.

Soft
Who would've known that such a hard-muscled man could give the softest of kisses?

Pain
Mirai no Trunks wasn't sure what was worse: having to listen to his parents fight, or knowing that if no one succeeded against Cell, there wouldn't be anyone for his mother to fight with anyway.

Potatoes
In response to his usual food-related question, Bulma angrily picked up the first available food item and chucked it straight at Vegeta's unknowing face.

Rain
She said that it was just a few raindrops on her face, when in reality, it was warm and sunny outside.

Chocolate
Bulma pouted when he handed her the box, "It's supposed to be filled with thirty pieces of chocolate, not five!"

Happiness
He smiled and looked at his little girl- immortality never could have brought him this much happiness.

Telephone
Bulma reached for the ringing phone, knowing that it would be Yamcha, ready to apologize for cheating on her again, when to her surprise, Vegeta picked it up first and calmly said, "Fuck off".

Ears
He blushed and she giggled- it wasn't his fault if big ears were just another Saiyan trait!

Name
Vegeta thought that The Mighty Thunderer and Wielder of Mjöllnir Thor would have made a much better name, rather than silly old Trunks (but he didn't dare tell Bulma that).

Sensual
He would never admit it, but the little lavender scented candles she lit up on those hot summer nights while he trained made all the difference in the world.

Death
And although she wasn't a Z Senshi, she could still feel his ki burn completely away.

Sex
He caught her staring at him with total lust in her eyes- or was it the other way around?

Touch
He recoiled at her touch- not because the thought of a human touching him was vile, but because she was something so pure, while he was not.

Weakness
"What's your weakness?" "You."

Tears
He had cried only three times in his life- at birth; at his first death at the hands of Freiza; and now, at the final passing of his wife.

Speed
Upon remembering their "wedding" anniversary, Vegeta ran as fast as he could to the nearest shopping mall to find a gift.

Wind
The passing wind let him know that a certain onna ningen was wearing the scent of roses and sakura blossoms- his favorite- as was coming towards him as well.

Freedom
"Oh puh-leeze, Vegeta, do you honestly expect me, the free man, to be jealous of you, the ball-and-chain-married-to-Bulma-man?" "Yes."

Life
Mirai no Trunks has no idea whether his father was there for his birth or not, but he hated thinking about the fact that he might be there for his death.

Jealousy
"Don't be jealous that I'm spending more time with the baby than with you", Bulma sarcastically told her suddenly lazy husband.

Hands
It's a cold day, but his hands are there to help warm her up in a variety of ways...

Taste
"Just because you Saiyans have a never-ending appetite does not mean that it grants you the right to cook! Ugh!"

Devotion
Bulma blinks and wonders how her husband, a once feared villian of the universe, can be so devoted to her, a mere human.

Forever
He scoffs at the term "divorce"; humans may claim to be more compassionate and loving than that of his Saiyan race, but at least when the Saiyans mated, they did so for life, no if, ands, or buts about it.

Blood
It's Vegeta's first time using a bathroom in the Brief's house, and as he curiously looks into the garbage can, he sees something with a load of blood on it, and wonders what could have died and why was it left to be buried in the bathroom?

Sickness
She sneezes, he grunts; he sneezes, she laughs hysterically.

Melody
He curses loudly- Bulma was singing "Umbrella" all day long, and now he's singing it too.

Star
She points out the constellations and what they mean- he feels more and more homesick.

Home
A ten year old inventor sits at her window and dreams of exploring the cosmos; at the same time, millions upon millions of lightyears away, there is a young prince sitting on a simple cot and is dreaming of going back to his now non-existant home planet.

Confusion
He stares at his wife and daughter as they argue and thinks: listening to one woman is confusing enough, but two?!

Fear
If it's one thing that Vegeta has learned, it is that the only thing more frightening that Frieza in his perfect form, is Bulma's temper.

Lightning/Thunder
He hates the wet rain, but loves how the thunderous noise scares her straight into his arms.

Bonds
He touches the fresh bite mark and says softly, "That's it onna, we're bonded for-", but before he can finish she flashes a smile, and he decides to shut up and relish the moment.

market
"Vegeta, if you're so damn hungry, go out and buy your own dinner, like a grown-ass man ought to!"

technology
Vegeta spied Radditz's once-broken scouter on her dresser and couldn't help but smirk at the genius that his little human wife was.

gift
She gasped at the little black velvet box- how did he know that it was really what she wanted?

smile
And then, suddenly both Vegeta and Bulma burst out laughing at the ridiculousness of their argument.

innocence
"A blowjob? Ohhh, what's that Vegeta?" (The mischieviousness in her voice damn nearly killed him!)

completion
There were seldom times in Vegeta's life, where, unless he was blowing something up, he felt complete; kissing Bulma seemed to be the penultimate cure for that.

clouds
"Take me flying, Daddy, I want to touch the clouds!"

sky
"On Vegeta-sei, the sky remains the same color, you know... not like here on Earth, where the sky can't seem to make up it's mind on what color it would like to be."

heaven
"Death's not so bad Vegeta, as long as you know where you're going."

hell
Sometimes, he still had dreams (nightmares) that she was gone, like everyone else he had ever loved.

sun
"Dammit woman, Saiyans are tropical creatures- I do not wish to participate in this 'snowball war' you keep insisting upon!"

moon
It was almost terrifying- looking at the full moon, and nothing happening to him.

waves
It was a rather peculiar situation he had found himself in; being in love with a woman like the ocean.

hair
"This atrocity simply cannot be my son- his hair is purple!"

super-nova
"I don't believe you" she barely breathed out, but there he was- her Saiyan Prince- no, her Super Saiyan Prince.
