I've decided to make probably the world's very first Goku x Krillin story. If this isn't, I'd be VERY surprised. I can't find any. Then again, Krillin isn't someone who's shipped with many people so of course it's gonna be rare. Hell even his own wife is rarely paired with him (I'm sure there's more Cell x 18 and some random guy x 18). I mean come on! Even fucking FRIEZA is shipped with with more people than him. -_- FRIEZA! Cell I can see. I mean have you heard his voice? In the english version anyways. If I remember correctly his japanese voice is high pitched as fuck and not sexy. Some people might find it sexy. Anyways, on to the story. Also this was inspired by cheshire-writer's Forbearance. Go give it a read. It hasn't been updated in years, but it's still a good read. It's also based off of a fanfic I wrote as a crossover between Galaxy Angel and DBZ. Nobody reads crossovers or even more so knows what Galaxy Angel is, so it's probably never being uploaded.

Krillin placed down his suit case in his hotel room after coming off of the plane. The former monk had been traveling the world after an incident with his best friend a couple of years back. Well actually that was a lie in itself. It had been more than just a few years and he wasn't even sure he could call his best friend. Things between them hadn't gone so well the last time they saw each other and he left on bad terms. Back then, Krillin used to be Goku's, as he liked to say, "dirty little secret". They had been secret lovers for years, managing to avoid any attention. Goku would often wonder why they kept their relationship quiet, but Krillin would never say. Maybe by making it public, that woman wouldn't have stolen him away from him.

He remembered that day when Chichi showed up at the World Tournament. It was one of the most painful memories in his mind. He remembered how she had just come out of nowhere and reminded the man of his. Krillin had been shocked and horrified at him promising to marry some girl he'd only known for a few moments. To make everything worse, the man actually kept his promise and married her. He could remember it just like yesterday. He had broken an ankle while sparing with the younger male and couldn't go. He had been watching tv when he heard the phone ringing.

He answered the cell phone and it was Roshi. The old man was so talking excitedly that he was unable to comprehend what the man was talking about. Chuckling, he asked the old man to slow down. Then he felt his heart drop when he heard Roshi say that Goku was being married. He had yelled to who angrily and aggressively. Roshi was surprised at Krillin's outburst, but he just brushed it off with a laugh and asked if he was jealous. Krillin calmed himself as best he could and asked what had happened. When Roshi told him, he wanted to head right over and kick both Goku and that Chichi woman's asses. If Goku would rather be with that bitch than him, fine! It didn't bother him. Well that's how it was on the outside anyways. On the inside he was upset and torn up inside.

To top it all off, when he confronted him about it Goku admitted he had thought that he could have both. Then again this was the same guy that thought marriage was a food. When asked if he was still going to marry the young woman, he responded with yes because he had to keep a promise. As much as Krillin respected his choices to keep promises, why was it this promise he had to keep that he didn't have to? She had tricked him for Pete's sake. Plus it wasn't like they signed a contact saying that he had to marry the girl or else he'd suffer sort of punishment.

Goku had tried to say that he'd still love him, but he didn't want to hear it. Krillin, unable to bear being anywhere near the younger man, left to travel around the world to keep his mind off of the younger man. He knew people would wonder where he was and why he hadn't shown up, but he didn't care. He needed to get away from him. Now years later, although that anger was still there, he decided to come back. The former monk didn't know why he was drawn back to where those painful memories were. Maybe he just wanted to see how Goku had adjusted to life without him and how everything fared with him gone. It couldn't hurt to check on old friends.

The first place he headed to was his former master's house. The old man still lived on the island. He knocked on the door and Roshi opened up the door. "Krillin! Long time no see! Come on in!"

Krillin flopped on the couch while Roshi went and grabbed a couple of beers from the fridge. He handed one to the younger man. "So, what have you been up to?"

"Just traveling the word, trying to find some inner piece and what not." said Krillin shrugging. "I just wanted to take a break from fighting you know."

"Well it's probably a good thing you left." said Roshi drinking his beer. "We've been having a lot of fighting going on here. Like for instance..."

Roshi then poured into the various villains Goku and the others had fought. Krillin listened with interest and wished he had been there to witness it. "Sounds like I missed a lot around here."

"Yep. So met anyone special?" asked Roshi wiggling his eyebrows. "Got any pictures?"

"Nobody special, but I did meet a lot of hot women." he said grinning. "By the way, I got you something."

Krillin handed over Roshi something he knew he'd like: a collection of porno magazines. "WOOHOO, BOY! You've hit the jackpot, my boy! These are the rarest and the best kind of porn! How did you...?"

"I took up a few jobs catching bad guys for rewards." said Krillin.

"With my training of course." said the old man proudly as he flipped through the books.

"Yeah. So what's happened with the rest of the gang?"

"Bulma got married to that psychopath Vegeta I told you about earlier." said Roshi. "She's got a little brat with now. Tien and Chiaotzu are doing alright, although I don't know why he won't go after Lunch. I mean even if her blonde half is crazy, she's still got a great body. Ungrateful lucky bastard he is...anyways, Piccolo's a good guy now though I still have my doubts and that he might be luring us into a false sense of security. Oh and Goku's got two kids now. Strong just like their father..."

After that, Krillin stopped listening. Goku had two kids with her. Just great he thought bitterly. He went and fucked her an had two brats with her. No, that was both unfair and mean. He couldn't call them brats just because they were the product of a union he hated. He wondered what they were anything like their father besides their strength. It made him even jealous and furious about the whole thing. Why hadn't Goku broken his promise just that once?

"You planning on visiting on him?"

"Well I don't know. I um...I don't know if he'd want to see me." He said truthfully. Would he want to see him? After their fight, he didn't know if Goku would want to see him.

"Of course he would!" said Roshi. "He does miss you, ya know. He's always mentioning wanting you around again and he was really worried when you didn't show for his wedding. Why didn't you show up?"

"We had a fight that I don't want to talk about"

"He mentioned that. Must have been pretty bad to separate you two."

"Yeah it was." said Krillin. "I think I'm going to go see him."

"Good to see you again. Also, do you have anywhere to stay now that you're back?"

"Not really."

"As soon as you get back, move yourself here. I could use the company and you could use a place to stay."

"Thanks Roshi. I'll see you later."

As he flew off for Goku's house, he wondered what he should say to him. There was no chance of rekindling their romance with Chichi around. All he had to do was to start a normal conversation. It sounded simple, but it was anything but that. He had plenty of time until he got to his destination, so he'd better start talking of something to say.
