Arranged (Vegeta X Reader)
Chapter Three // Overprotective
Vegeta awaited you in the training room. You had been slightly later than usual and he was beginning to worry.
He began pacing back and forth, mind wondering where you could be.
Well, until he heard the door swish open.
His eyes went wide once he saw you in your attire.
You had on shorts and a sports bra, ready to sweat and begin your day of group training.
Vegeta ran over to you, arms flailing.
"For heaven's sake, woman! What the hell do you think you're wearing!?"
"These men have no self control and they'll be trying to grab you and touch you!"
Vegeta pulled you away from everyone and began to take off his own gray shirt.
"Please! Cover yourself!" He insisted, huddling over you to make sure no one saw you.
You put his shirt on and scowled at him.
"Vegeta, how am I ever supposed to settle down with anyone if you won't let me?" You spat at him.
His eyes went even wider and his eyebrows furrowed.
He crossed his arms and got in your face.
"None of these low level, pathetic pieces of trash deserve you. If they did, I would have allowed it by now."
"Who are you to say who I get to date Vegeta!? Please, enlighten me almighty Prince!" You screamed at him, now getting everyone else's attention.
"You don't own me, Vegeta! I'm not your fucking pet!"
You stormed out of the training room.
You hated him for doing this to you.
All your life you haven't even had a chance to get over him because of him being "protective". You could make your own decisions now. You weren't a child.
You went to your room where you laid on your bed and sobbed.
You were so tired of liking him. Sitting back and waiting for him to make a move, and it never happening.
Now, he will be in an arranged marriage, and he's still acting like he owns you and like he's your significant other.
Your attention was brought to reality when your door opened and in walked a shirtless Vegeta.
His head went down as soon as he saw you in the state you were in.
"Y/N..." He softly sighed your name.
His lips pressed together as he approached you, regret plastered on his face.
Everything he did always sent shivers down your spine.
"I am sorry." He placed his strong hands on your shoulders, gently rubbing as he continued to speak. "I have been so stressed as of late. I am..."
A chuckle escaped his lips as he nodded.
You knew him all too well.
Vegeta could only admit something like this to you. And he could barely do that. He had apologized twice in the past two days, something completely out of character for him.
You hummed before turning to see his face directly in front of yours.
His eyes searched yours for answers. Answers to his problems.
You couldn't help but feel a little flustered as he stared intensely into your eyes.
Your eyes explored every feature of his face, taking in how truly handsome he was. Then they traveled down to his beautiful bare chest. Any girl on planet Vegeta would be more than happy to be with the Prince.
You wished you could be with him.
You looked down at the floor, face as red as a tomato.
That was until you felt his hand touch your chin and lift it up to look at him.
"Why has your face gone red, woman?" His bottom lip found its way into his mouth. His eyes scanned your face.
"Well- I- I-" You stuttered and took a deep breath before speaking once again. "You just caught me at a bad time."
He frowned a little before letting go of your chin and crossing his arms.
"We have a fitting tonight. Be there at 4:45. We wouldn't want the maids waiting on you now, would we?"
And just like that the old Vegeta was back. He turned around and started to walk to the door.
You almost called for him to stay, but decided against it.
You buried your face into his shirt that still clung to your body, breathing in his scent. It made you feel safe.
You decided it probably would be best to take a nap, so that is exactly what you did.
When you woke up, you decided to head to Vegeta's room a little earlier than you were supposed to.
You knocked and entered to again, find Vegeta no where.
You checked the shower, no sign of him.
You sat on Vegeta's bed and waited patiently for the Prince to arrive.
You heard the door knob turn and in walked a very distraught looking Vegeta.
He looked so upset and exhausted, his face completely red and he was extremely flustered.
"Those pathetic bastards!" He screamed as he walked towards you.
He kicked his bedside table over as he threw himself on to the bed.
His hands covered his face as he mumbled. "They found her."
Your heart sank. You didn't want to ask about it. This was already way too touchy of a subject for him.
"Next week I meet my..." He shuttered as he spoke. "...soon to be wife!" He spat, obviously disgusted.
You could tell this just tore him apart. You didn't know what to say to comfort him.
You just fell next to him and grabbed his hands and pulled them from his face. You held them in your own as you looked into his sad and angry eyes.
"Vegeta, it will be okay."
His eyes searched your face and finally, they landed on your lips. He couldn't help but want to feel them on his own.
His cheeks reddened at the thought of gently kissing you, feeling you succumb under him as he held you.
He felt so dizzy and dazed.
The way you made him feel was so addictive and he always wanted more.
He freed one of his hands and rested it on your hip, a chill making its way through you. Head to toe.
His eyes focused now on your own. He lifted an eyebrow, almost in a suggestive way.
You bit your lip as you felt his hand gently run up and down your curves. You couldn't help but whisper out his name.
"Hello my Prince! Are you ready for your fitting!?"
The maid had interrupted the moment you and Vegeta were sharing.
"I suppose so." He replied in a snark manner. "Do tell me...have you forgotten how to knock!?"
You chuckled at the Prince's saltiness before standing up and stretching.
"I'm ready!" You giggled.
"Oh! I'm sorry, dear. We only had the Prince on the schedule for a fitting today..." The maid told you.
"You will find room for her! Understood?" Vegeta yelled and the maid jumped at the sound of his loud, booming voice.
"Uh-uh- yes my Prince!" The maid scurried around the room in a tizzy and told you both to strip to your undergarments.
Whilst undressing, you noticed Vegeta's eyes on you.
His face turned quite red and his palms began to sweat at the sight of you in just panties and an undershirt.
The maid called down the hall for assistance and quickly the measuring commenced.
You both were fitted in no time, Vegeta insisting that the two of you have coordinating training gear.
You laughed at your Prince as the maids left.
"Vegeta, I hate to say it...but, don't you think your wife will be a little jealous when you go to train with your female friend who has matching gear??"
Vegeta scoffed. "I don't care what she thinks. You'll mean more to me anyway."
He immediately grabbed his mouth, knowing he didn't mean for that to slip out.
"What does that mean?" You teased, poking Vegeta in his side.
"Stop that!" He scurried over to his bed and sat with his arms crossed.
"Someone is a little grumpy!" You giggled as you plopped next to him, grabbing his hand in the process. "I'm just teasing Vegeta."
He grumbled loudly before turning himself away from you and pulling his hand back.
"Don't forget..." You smiled at him. "tomorrow is your 18th birthday, my Prince." You poked at his cheek, a soft smile appearing across his face.
You couldn't help but to feel completely overwhelmed by Vegeta smiling genuinely.
He was usually so emotionless. Or at least he liked to act as if he was.
Vegeta knew you would have something special planned for tomorrow. You always went all out for his birthday.
He wouldn't admit it, but he was actually very excited to see what you had in store. Your presents were always his favorite.
Vegeta glanced at the clock in the corner of the room, realizing it was nearly time for dinner.
"Well...it is almost time for dinner. You better go get dressed, as will I."
You nodded as you stood up and stretched.
"I'll be back in a minute and we'll walk to the dining hall together." You mumbled, making your way towards his door.
After dinner, you went to your room to go to sleep.
Tomorrow was going to take a lot of energy.
