WARNING: This story contains GohanxVegeta shounen-ai, meaning boys being romantic with other boys.

        There he is; the epitome of all my dreams and fantasies put together. He�s just sitting there, leaning against a tree. I feel my heart start to speed up. How does he do this to me? Make me feel so vulnerable, scared and happy at the same time by his mere presence? I continue to stare at him, just drinking in his beauty with my eyes.

        Beautiful. Yes, that�s what he is. Sure, he�s also temperamental, rude, and arrogant, but he still is the most beautiful person I�ve ever seen. I never knew that someone sitting could be such a turn on. Maybe it�s only just him. Hell, he could even make clipping his toe nails look sexy.

        Oh no, is he looking at me? He-he couldn�t know, could he? I look around and to my relief and disappointment I see Bulma and Trunks behind me. My shoulders slump just a little. So that�s what he was looking at: his family.

        �My glasses slip and a push it farther up my nose. Of course he was looking at them. Why would he want me: a book-nerd and a MAN nonetheless. Not to mention the fact that I�m his rival�s son.

        I give a sigh and look over at my teenaged daughter, Pan, and my ex-wife, Videl. Videl catches me looking at her and she gives a slight smile. I smile back at her and I feel worse than crap for what I did to her. She�s proof that I�d tried to get over Vegeta. And maybe, for a brief moment, I thought I did. I tried to love her, really I did, but I couldn�t. It was all an illusion. Having Pan only strengthened the illusion, and for a fleeting moment, I thought I could do it. I thought I could love Videl and our family would be happy together. But no matter how many times I tried to make the illusion real, I couldn�t. I was just fooling myself. I will never get over Vegeta. I know that, now.

        That�s because I love him.

        Yes, after years of denail, I finally admit that I love Vegeta. I am a man who has made many mistakes and hurt people that I cared about just because I couldn�t admit that simple fact. That Vegeta is the one for me. I have been fighting with myself ever since I became aware of these feelings, but I give up now. I can�t deny what I truly feel is right. I won�t deny it.

        I walk toward him, determined to see this through. This is what twenty years of pent-up emotion has lead up to. Yes, this is the time. The time to stop lying.

        �Vegeta, can I talk to you for a second?�
