SJS Drabble 9- Caviar
Word Count - 444
Summary - light hearted Vegeta and Goku fic... sorry NO sex
Glancing into the room, Vegeta could not help but be impressed. Not that he would ever admit it to the Woman, of course.
During his years under Bulma's tutelage, Vegeta had been introduced to the culinary delicacies that this world had to offer. It began with his wandering through Bulma's formal parties to raid the appetizers and annoy the hell out of her. Later, he had accompanied her to events and functions that were befitting of his royal heritage. If things had been different - if he had lived the life normally destined for a Saiyajin Crown Prince - he would no doubt have come to know the taste treasures of many worlds.
Enough 'ifs'. This was the here and now. Vegeta looked around the room again. This celebration was in his honor, his and Kakarott's. Today marked their fifth year as life mates, and he intended to enjoy himself.
Drawing his larger mate toward the appetizer tables, Vegeta watched the other's eyes grow round in awe. The table was covered with an array of small dishes and bowls surrounding the delicately carved fruits and vegetables that were both centerpiece and snack item.
Vegeta picked up a light wafer and placed a precise portion of shimmering black beads at its end. Closing his eyes he placed the wafer on his tongue to appreciate the blend of flavors as the wafer melted, then finally allowed himself to fully savor his treat.
"Vegeta?"
Vegeta snapped his eyes open to see his mate looking at him curiously.
"Have you ever had caviar, Kakarott?" Vegeta asked, preparing a generous portion with a mischievous grin.
"No, what is it?" He mumbled around a suddenly full mouth. "Is it some kind of sea food? It tastes a little fishy."
"It's the roe of specific fish, usually harvested by gutting the creature and extracting the unfertilized eggs from it reproductive organs. Some cultures prefer to harvest them differently - after they've been fertilized, but I believe Bulma always did prefer her eggs unfertilized."
At just that moment, Bulma arrived to welcome her guests of honor, only to be faced with a distressed Goku.
"Bulma?" Goku asked tremulously, "Are those really baby fishies?"
"Well, I suppose you could say that, but -" She began before Goku dashed away with his hand over his mouth.
Vegeta tried not to laugh out loud at the mighty warrior's rapid retreat and looked at his next favorite appetizer taste treat; goose pâté.
"Hn.. I wonder what he would think of -"
"Vegeta! Don't you dare tell him about how pâté is made!"
"I wouldn't dream of it," he smirked. "What did you say was the main course? Veal?"
"VEGETA!!"
