You're Fireproof, I Wish I Was That Way [closed]

It's been a few days since he destroyed her television. Which is fine. Whatever. She bought a new, got it installed, fine. She's gotten the hole in her wall fixed too. She even managed to get his precious Gravity Chamber fixed which means she can get him out of her hair for a little bit. Which is good. It gives her time to work on other projects in her labs. She does have a business to run, after all.

The problem is he keeps creeping into her thoughts when she doesn't want him to. How weirdly jealous he had behaved that night. Sorry. Not jealous, possessive. Whatever the hell that meant. Half the time it seemed like he couldn't even stand her but he thought he had some weird claim over her?

It's not that she's never entertained the idea before but it's a bad idea for a lot of reasons not least of all him having an ego that almost rivaled her own.

She decides it's time for a break, exiting her lab to go outside to smoke a cigarette. He always bitched too much when she smoked in the house. Something about the smell offending his sensitive Saiyan sense of smell.

She taps the cigarette to let some of the ash fall. Really, that was almost reason enough to do it, sometimes.

She's lucky enough to step out of the house about the time Vegeta's stepping out of the gravity chamber with her father's cat in hand, gently setting the little black thing on the grass a few yards away from the Gravity Room. It follows at his heels, bounding across the yard as it follows in Vegeta's wake on his way back. When he turns to glare down at it, it mewls up at him, tail swishing in a way that someone who once had a tail himself can easily read.

But he's having none of that. Vegeta launches himself into the air and flies the rest of the way. The cat runs after him, but isn't nearly as fast as a Saiyan, and by the time it reaches the door, Vegeta's already locked it up tight.

The cat yowls, pawing at the door in a futile attempt to open it.

Bulma's not the only one who's taken a shine to Capsule Corp's house guest.
