Another reaction could be that Bulma tries to communicate with Vegeta. She would sit him down and try to talk about how his actions are making her feel. However, if Vegeta is unresponsive or dismissive, it would only add to her heartbreak.
One possible scenario could be that Vegeta is too focused on his training and ignores Bulma's emotional needs. He might be constantly pushing himself to get stronger and in the process, not give Bulma the attention she desires. For example, he could skip out on family events or important dates just to train.
In such fanfiction, Vegeta might make Bulma happy by showing his softer side. Maybe he cooks a special meal for her. Vegeta is often portrayed as tough, but when he does something out of his usual character like cooking, it can be a sweet surprise for Bulma.
Bulma might be a bit skeptical at first. Given Vegeta's tough exterior and past behavior, she may wonder if he really means it. But as he continues to show his sincerity, she would gradually accept his love and reciprocate it wholeheartedly. She might also start planning their future together right away, thinking about things like family and a more stable relationship.
The relationship might develop gradually. Bulma could start by being attracted to Vegeta's power and mystery. As she gets closer to him, she discovers his more complex personality. Vegeta may initially resist her advances but eventually gives in to his own feelings.
In the fanfiction, their relationship could be explored by showing how they adapt to each other. Vegeta's feral side might require Bulma to be more patient and understanding. And Bulma's needs might force Vegeta to become more domesticated in some ways. For instance, he might have to learn to control his temper around her family and friends. It could also show how their relationship evolves over time, starting from initial attraction despite their differences to a deep, loving bond that endures through various challenges.
At first, it might be a relationship based on mutual need. Vegeta needs Bulma's resources and intelligence to get back on his feet, and Bulma is intrigued by this alien. As time passes, they start to understand each other better. For example, Vegeta may start to open up about his past and his Saiyan pride, and Bulma will share her dreams and ambitions with him.
Vegeta would likely still be his proud and strong - willed self, but with a newfound tenderness towards Bulma. He might be a bit more protective and less quick to anger. Bulma, on the other hand, would be her intelligent and sassy self, always ready to challenge Vegeta in a playful way.
Often, Vegeta becomes more in touch with his emotions. He starts to care about things other than just fighting, like his family with Bulma. He may show more love and protectiveness towards her and their child.
In the fanfiction, their relationship is full of passion. It's not just a physical passion but also an emotional one. Vegeta, who was once a cold - hearted Saiyan, has softened because of Bulma. He shows his love in his own way, like training hard to protect her. Bulma, in turn, is attracted to Vegeta's strength and his gradual transformation into a more caring person. They bicker sometimes, like any couple, but it's all part of their unique dynamic.
One possible story could be where Vegeta accidentally says something really hurtful during an argument about his training obsession, making Bulma feel neglected. Another could involve Vegeta's Saiyan pride causing him to make a decision that directly impacts Bulma negatively, like leaving for a dangerous mission without considering her feelings.
