SUMMARY: Yamcha catches Bulma and Vegeta together. This is Yamcha's hope that Vegeta will dump Bulma and she'll come running back to him.


How can you say:  "You torture me." , when
you're already thinking about someone else?
 
    He’d waited for far too long to apologize apparently.  She had already moved on.  He had come to see her and had accidentally spied her and Vegeta about to fuck on the kitchen table.  His eyes had snapped shut of their own accord and he had blindly spun away and stumbled towards his car.  He knew this would happen   He had always suspected something was going on between the two of them.  
    They were always arguing, but neither of them seemed to dislike the fights, if anything they seemed to get off on them in some fucked-up way.  He had witnessed several, and during almost every occasion Vegeta had called her some really nasty names.  Had it been anyone else, Yamcha would have flattened them.  Instead he watched in slack-jawed amazement as Bulma dished out her own vulgarities.  The more creative insults actually made the damn Saiyan smile          
    And Yamcha began to suspect.  He saw those heated glares they shot each other.  He nearly tore his car door off in his haste.  How could he have seen all that and not put two and two together?    

When he comes home you'll be in his arms and I’ll be gone.
But I know my day will come,
I know someday I’ll be the only one.

    And how the fuck could Bulma be so stupid ? Honestly, what was she thinking? It’s one thing to start seeing someone else, that’s just peachy fuckin’ keen.  But Vegeta- mass-murdering, killed-more-people than Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini- put together?.  Why him? He’s the whole reason she had to go to Namek, and go through all that shit that she was crying to me about.  How she was alone all the time and almost killed by stray ki blasts and at the very end, earth quakes that were ripping the ground underneath her apart...
    I just don’t get it  It-it has to be a fling.  I can accept that.  I felt a need to get out and “see the sights” if you know what I mean- after I got wished back.  I can understand that completely.  But not with Vegeta.  
    I know it wasn’t one-sided either.  And thank Kami it wasn’t.  I’m very glad he’s not just in there raping her.  
    So fine, she’ll realize what a shithead he is soon enough and come back to me.

So now you wait for a spark, you know it will turn you on.
He's gonna make you feel the way you want to feel.
When he starts to lie, when he makes you cry you'll know I'll be there.
My day will come , I know someday I’ll be the only one.

    He sped off the compound in record time and drove haphazardly down the road, his mind whirling in fury and disgust, but also fragile hope.  
    Vegeta of all people could never treat Bulma the way she wanted to be treated.  Even if he wanted to.  In all likelihood he saw Bulma as a piece of ass and nothing more.  But on the very very teeny tiny slim chance that he actually did give a shit about her (Yamcha snorted bitterly as he nearly side-swiped another vehicle) - the guy had a heart made of ice.  He never showed any emotion other than hate- his mind threw an image of them together on the table at him- (he didn’t look so cold and unfeeling then-) Yamcha shook his head with a grimace at the intruding and definitely unwelcome thought.
“Damnit  I do not want to think of that ” he snapped.  
    He had never cheated on Bulma.  He had always told her he planned on seeing other people all those times they had broken up.  But he had never fucked anyone behind her back.  
    And she had never called him to tell him they were through.  Maybe she had just assumed they were.  But it would be alright.  Vegeta would never love her and that was what Bulma desperately wanted.  He loved her, not that psychopath  She would realize it soon enough and then he would have her all to himself.

Call me selfish, call me what you like I think it's right.
To want someone for all your own and not to share their love.
But I’ll have my way. You don't stand a chance anyway.
Cause I got to you, you don't stand a chance.

    He just had to be patient.  And when she did come back he could not, under any circumstance, gloat.  That would most likely send her away.  He had to be compassionate and understanding and all that other crap that she was always bitching at him to be.  He would listen to her sob story about how Vegeta had been so wonderful (while he wanted to get her in the sack) and how he had turned into a heartless prick (right after sex).  
    He chuckled a little, but sobered quickly.  It wasn’t funny.  When it actually happened it wouldn’t be a laughing matter at all.  And as much as he would revel in it, he had no chance of beating the little jerk into the ground like he deserved.  All he could do was be there for Bulma when the brat prince threw her out like trash.

So now you wait for his cock, you know it will turn you on.
He's gonna make you feel the way you want to feel.
When he starts to lie, when he makes you cry
you know I'll be there. My day will come ,
I know someday I'll be the only one.
My day will come , I know someday I'll be the only one.

    He just prayed Vegeta wouldn’t do anything worse than break her heart.  If he really did do something as foolish and cowardly as lay a hand on her, then Yamcha knew he would die trying to make that little shit pay.  
    Or better yet, if he even suspected the Saiyan of hurting her, he could just tell Goku and have him go kick Vegeta’s ass.  He grinned evilly at the thought.  Seeing that would definitely be sweet   But the thought that he couldn’t do it unless he hurt Bulma calmed his amusement.  
     He was going to have to warn her if nothing else.  He didn’t want her to be hurt.  He knew she wouldn’t listen to him, she rarely did when it mattered.  But when she finally realized what an asshole Vegeta was, and that he didn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself, she would also realize that Yamcha had known all along and had tried to warn her.
    He didn’t want her to feel guilt at the realization (well, maybe just a little stabbing pang) he wanted her to realize he had said what he planned to say to her out of love for her and care and concern.  
    It would work out.  And in the mean time he could call a few girls he hadn’t seen in quite awhile..  It might not be such a bad thing after all.  He pulled into his apartment’s parking lot and grabbed his cell phone.  He would have some fun tonight, and tomorrow he would call Bulma and meet her somewhere.  He would have a serious discussion about them and about the Saiyan.  

You say you want perfection, I see your self destruction.
You don't know what you want, it's gonna take a year to find out.
I’m  not givin’ up.
And when you've had enough, you’ll take your bruised little head and you'll come running back to me.
I know that I will be the only one.

    
    And if she didn’t listen to him, part of her would remember his warning regardless.  And when the spiteful little midget dumped her, he would be waiting with open arms.  
    It was perfect.  He might actually have to thank the little bastard if it all worked out.  He snorted in grim amusement.
    “Yeah, I’ll do that the day I feel like dying.”  He scrolled through his saved numbers and dialed.
    “Moshi, moshi?”
    “Hey, Keika, it’s me, Yamcha..”
