Chapter 1: A day in the Life

A/N: A lot of people enjoyed the coffee shop A/U I did for Gochi week so I figured I'd make a mini series out of it. Or more (Who knows, it mostly depends on you guys not me, no matter what you believe) So just something i've been working on in my free time, tell me what you think.

Always hard at work, showing the most vested interest in the most basic of tasks. It's where he stuck out sometimes. But either than that he was nothing but a small blip on the radar, an afterthought to the regular person.

He worked like everyone else, showed up in the same clothes as everyone else, lived in a house, ate, slept, brushed his teeth, showered, hell he even brushed his hair to remove all the unruly knots in it. He had to hide himself away, he had learned that. People didn't like things that were different, they couldn't understand, were faster, stronger, and a threat to them.

It's why he faded into obscurity, to protect himself.

Beep! Beep! Beep! The grating sound of his alarm drew him from his slumber as a large defined muscular arm shot out from beneath the blanket and hit it to silence it. A shallow groan escaped his lips as they had to get ready to start the day. Throwing off his blanket from his only Futon and got himself onto both feet before heading towards the bathroom.

His vision was still perfect in the near dark, examining the way he looked at himself in the mirror he was thankful today he wouldn't have to clean his hair, the mess of black spikes were all over pointing one direction to the next… "Well it's time to shower up Goku, then off to work."

That morning routine, he had done it for several years without failure. The idea of working was foreign but he caught on to it. Though he had not gone to school like others did, he had natural talent in other areas.

Taking his time to fix his white button up shirt, though it felt stuffy on him he knew this is what people liked to see where he worked. They wanted him wearing sharp clothing, though it was constricting as his biceps often ripped the long sleeves he was allowed to wear the short sleeves as the exception for his job. Otherwise he was required to wear the standard outfit like everyone else.

Affixing his clip on tie, Goku then slipped into a pair of solid black polyester pants and dress socks. Before walking out the door he slipped on his black boots, the thick leather and nice soles were comforting for his heavy steps.

Stepping out into the hallway Goku turned and locked the door to his small apartment and then made his way from his room.

Most people paid him no mind as he walked down the steps and made his way outside, going out the back entrance to save himself time. Checking his watch briefly before quickly looking around to see if anyone was watching him. Taking a full breath Goku leapt into the air his entire body clearing the several stories before sailing upwards, his body vanishing into the low clouds of the morning.

It was true, he could fly, he could do all sorts of amazing things that most people around him couldn't.

'Another deranged man was scene today accosting people at a local… Police were called in and forced to kill the man when he charged at them armed with…'

'A local mother is in the hospital after suffering a mental breakdown, she was transported to an urgent care facility so that she won't be a threat to her family or other.'

'The next war against…'

'Shot dead in the streets'

'Found dead a man was torn apart by what appears to be local wildlife, local game wardens are hunting down potential problems to make sure this situation never happens again''

People all around him were violent, afraid of others and if they couldn't remove it, they would kill it. Even other people around the world, there were no shortage of fighting. Though he wouldn't deny it, he really loved fighting, so much so. On his days off he 'used' too be able to go and fight at local venues and make some side money. But so fearsome was his reputation and a record of 87 knockouts, zero defeats and 2 fatalities. No one was crazy enough to fight him, and he couldn't go 'pro' people like that got tested, examined, scanned and screened. He couldn't have that…

But who would care about a man making ends meet as a security officer? No one, that's the truth isn't it. Who would care if he had super senses if he never applied them or attempted to utilize them. A simple naive man it was the perfect camouflage and no one would know that he was anything but. It would appear like dumb luck, because no one asked how he got to work so long as he showed up everyday at the same time.

But… and there was always a but, he had his own problems…

One of them being a very, attractive female. Long slender legs that came up to her hips with a toned firmness that came from years or gymnastics and calisthenics. Rising upwards towards her very large breasts of which he could only sneak glances at, imagining just how beautiful they would be without the expensive business suits covering them. Then rising up to her ivory soft skin that was exposed from her collar into a pinned artform that was her midnight colored hair.

She was so tempting, but far beyond his reach… I can only dream though. Goku admitted sadly in his thoughts often lost when he thought about her. It was a strange attraction, she was bossy almost tyrannical when it came to her job and duties, yet when talking with clients and in the public eye she was soft spoken and gentle. She could put on a face that hid the real her so well. Though she treated him with just as much disdain as the rest of those who worked around her. It was the way things just worked, she was the president's daughter. A spoiled to the core princess, but one well versed in law, ethics, morality, and civil legality.

'Chi-Chi Mao… oh how you make me think far too much about you. But it's just how things are. I try and ask you out and you all but spit in my face in the politest way. I suppose it's fun though.'

Strolling into his job like usual, Goku offered a friendly wave and hello to the receptionist. "How's my Son Kun?" The female twittered, her green eyes flashing him a brilliant smile, framed perfectly with her red hair.

"Just fine Suno, how are you doing today?" Goku replied as she got up to offer him a big hug as was standard. She was very friendly, with him mostly. He'd helped her several times with her work and just being a guy who looked out for her.

Suno had no secret about having a thing for the muscular security guard, Goku and Suno having participated on a few dates together. Mostly him being her double date for other friends, he was the nice guy after all. Kind of like her big brother, except without any of the shameless tact of him actually being that.

"Me and a couple girls are going to hit up the Lilly after work, would you like to come along as our safety?" She purred wrapping both arms around his and pushing his hands between her sweater and squarely between two soft mounds of flesh. Suno loved to tease him, and he liked to play along.

Afterall what healthy man would turn down her offer? A normal person wouldn't, so how could he?

"Sure Suno, I'll be sure to take care of you girls." He smiled as she bounced up and down happily.

"You're the best Son Kun!" She chirped happily pecking his cheek with a large splotch of red lipstick. "I can't wait to tell the girls it's going to be so much fun-!" Practically singing with joy as she bounded out of her little kiosk to go find the other girls she'd be taking after hours.

Goku along with several other males in the area watching as her heavy assets bounced up and down. It's what men do. Or at least that's what the others did.

Though once Suno disappeared Goku cleaned up his cheek and went to his position in the main lobby. Several kiosks were set up in areas to allow for access to information, the reception wing, the human resource wing and security wing were all placed on the first floor.

"This gentleman is our primary area here." Goku said as he introduced two new young recruits to their duties. "Mostly we just handle disturbances and unrulies in the lobby, most people don't like lawyers to begin with, and those that are good always attract the wrong crowds. People who aren't happy, or don't like who the other party has hired. But remember were not police, but we can demand people leave our premises if they cause a disruption call the police and then escort them out. As always though, if anyone becomes violent you can protect yourselves and the people who work here. Anyway let's continue our tour and introductions." Goku motioned as the two men wearing their similar white collared button shirt with black ties followed behind.

Demonstrating the keycard access for the higher floor elevators, "Second floor are all our municipal court cases, basic cases. Most traffic ends up here and it's not often to see people refer to this as the muni area."

"Third floor is civil disputes, tenants, neighbors, businesses the whole kit and kaboodle, another important area. The fourth floor is reserved for personal space and offices, meeting rooms, and interviews. The fifth floor is reserved for felony cases, and elite clientele."

Continuing further Goku walked them around the sixth floor and towards a simple enjoyment. "This floor is reserved exclusively for Miss Mao and her father, several colleagues have offices up here but this is their floor, please be quiet and discreet when up here." Gesturing to the side as one could see her now.

Wearing her light gray business suit, the top of her white collar exposed just enough to show off that rich ivory skin around her neck. A laptop in front of her along with an array of awards, titles, cases, photos, and all manner of things that showed off her successes.

She didn't look up, just continued to type and work away. Just like always, Goku didn't say anything about it. Miss Mao didn't have any interest in him for the moment. He could always keep trying.

"Would you like to grab a coffee with me Miss Mao?"

"No Mr. Son, I do not have the time." "I'm far too busy." "No thank you." "I told you before no." "What are you not getting? I don't want to be with you?" "Just get out…"

It didn't matter though how many times she rejected him, he would always keep asking, she might think him weird but that would be all. It was routine and if he didn't do that then he wouldn't be able to see her. Speak with her, no matter how briefly.

Many times his co-workers asked him if he had a 'thing' for their boss. He would always laugh and say no, that he was being nice. He didn't want to treat her differently than other people, or have her feel that she had to be above them or something like that.

But that was partially a lie, he had a strange attraction to her. She was strong willed, powerful physically -though lacking when compared to him-, that unwavering determination and drive. It wasn't just one thing, that and she looked so damn gorgeous. The few glimpses he had caught of her on the security cameras were stunning.

It was a game to him and it amused him and perhaps she got some relief out of it as well. Though just one day he would like to actually sit down and spend more than ten seconds talking with her.

He could dwell about his minor misfortune later, "Follow me, we have a few more things to cover…"

[***]

Goku was walking around the floors, doing his usual routine of checking the afternoon hours. Making sure that the doors were secure and all of the offices were locked. Though he could feel the entire floor and know that no one was around, he had to at least go through the motions of checking.

He clicked the deadbolt for the corner offices when he heard the elevator ding at his floor. "Hey, Goku where are you? I forgot my keys again."

Holding back his grin he shook his head. "Coming Miss Mao." He announced turning around and making his way back towards the elevators. Rounding the corner he saw her, hair undone, her thin glasses on, jacket covering her shoulders. "You need to stop forgetting your keys so much mam." He offered her a smile though she huffed at him.

"Well excuse me, I have hundreds of things to do. I can't help I lose track of my car keys." She retorted her hands on her hips as she moved back into the elevator as Goku did.

"I'm aware and you do work very hard, I just feel this is a problem you should fix. We have this happen once or twice a month." Pushing the up button to her office floor. He rested his back against the wall as it slowly rose upwards.

"A minor inconvenience," She adjusted her long black hair so that it wasn't caught up in her jacket.

'Ever the perfectionist.' Goku thought watching as she did before the elevator dinged and he stepped off. Walking ahead of her he went to her office and unlocked her door. Chi-Chi not having direct access to her office once he had locked it up manually, as the secondary was the electronic system.

She strolled inside going to her desk and digging out from her small basket a small jingle of car keys. She returned the basket to its proper spot before turning back around and towards the elevator not offering Goku a courtesy thank you or anything.

Goku followed her back towards the elevator, his hands settling back in his pockets as he followed her down. Watching as she deliberately paid him no mind, no words, thoughts, or signs of emotion. She locked him out completely.

"My offer always stands you know," Goku said not looking at her.

Releasing only a small snort of indifference. She wasn't going to even acknowledge him.

Goku chuckled, "Is the idea of coffee with me that revolting? No one would assume anything about it."

Rolling her brown eyes toward him and his smile. "I do not date below my level, you are not worthy of my time."

"Date? I just wanted to have coffee have a friendly chat. At least try and talk with you outside of work." The door to the elevator dinged and opened up but neither made a move for the door.

"You are no scholar, no doctor, and unworthy of taking up my time. I have my priorities and time is a rare commodity, I do not have time prance about and waste with so much to be done." She looked to her watch, "As such you have taken enough of my time already, I have a date with a local professor of West Cities Bar association tonight."

Goku kept smiling, "Well I hope it goes well, you work really hard Miss Mao." Goku walked out first with Chi-Chi following behind him but made an abrupt turn towards the door.

Goku would've turned to watch her leave but heard the girlish cries coming towards him. "Son KUN-!" A voice cried as Goku turned to catch Suno who launched herself into his arms.

"Hey there Suno!" Goku replied cheerfully as she hugged him, her attire having changed as she was wearing a bright red dress and heels, a perfect match to her hair. "You look amazing." Compliments rolled out quickly making her blush.

"Aw you're the best Goku! Come on, me and the girls are ready to go!"

He smiled nodding, "Sure just give me five minutes I'll put away the keys and and lock up the lobby."

"Okay be quick!" Suno said shooing him in the direction he needed to go.

…

Goku came back out to a happy crowd of girls, though his eyes looked towards the door realizing that Chi-Chi had just left which was slightly odd considering her rush to get on to her date. "Suno, Jezza, and Tiffany all set?" He called out as he walked out, his black tie gone and the tops of his shirt unbuttoned.

"Oh you know it Goku!" Tiffany chided, a shorter blonde about a hundred and twenty pounds, not a curvy girl but not displeasing to look at. She was a nice person, honest and humble.

Jezza was taller, a mess of wild curly black hair and a darker tan on her skin. She smiled and looked to Suno who was calling the cab.

It was going to be a fun night, because that's what people did. They went out on their fridays and partied, lived life to the fullest and the Lily was a common nightclub frequented by the trio he often went out with.

The three girls danced and drank, not too much in excess. Goku however never partook in the drinking, he needed a sound mind to think and act. Though he might look like he was having a drink or two, he never really did.

"Hey-! The goods are off limits!" Suno barked.

Goku's head snapped upwards as he felt the shift in the aura around his co-worker.

"Aw come on babe I wasn't trying-" Another man was looking innocent but was still wearing a drunk grin on his lips.

'You got caught but you're trying to play it off as if its nothing. Normal men are so strange sometimes, I can't imagine most people don't look at me in similar ways.' Releasing a sigh and pushing himself from his vantage point he made his way through all of the dancing patrons towards Suno.

"You alright Suno? I heard you yelling."

A light red blush was across her face as she pouted her lips and pointed at the man. "He grouped me Son Kun!" She whined quickly retreating to the safety of Goku's chest, once tucked against his warm body she shot out her tongue at the man like a five year old.

It took a quick glance of the poor sod to realize the difference in size that he faced, but alcohol had a tendency to overestimate one's abilities and undervalue their opponent. "I didn't do nothing that the woman was offering, wearing a dress like that she was askin for it."

"So a woman is your object due to the types of clothes she wears, interesting philosophy."

The man cocked a grin. "Hey yeah you get it, its like-"

"Too bad I don't agree." Stepping forwards Goku's hand grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him closer. He could smell the thickness of the booze and it made him want to cough with the sheer scent.

"Lay off man! Can't a guy have some fun, besides it's not like you wouldn't!" He hastily defended.

"He doesn't have to, because I always treat my Son Kun right-! He knows how to treat a lady unlike you." Suno retorted angrily stomping her feet.

"Quiet you slut!" The man forgetting that he was currently held by a much larger man. His free hand drew back but never even came close to swinging at the red head.

Fingers caught his wrist and twisted his arm to the side, a pair of coal black eyes looked into his own. There wasn't a second chance until the man's world went black…

A man should protect his friends, make sure they never come to harm and a friend never turns his back on them.

Goku eventually leading all three girls into the back of the cab, doing his due diligence to make sure each one made it home safe and sound.

Except… Suno was holding onto Goku's neck as he carried her up the stairs to his apartment. The redhead contently purring against his neck as she smoothed her hands over his skin. Her lips kissing at his neck. "You're such a sexy man Son Kun." She whispered lightly nipping at his ear.

"I'm just a typical guy Suno." He chuckled as he unlocked the door and carried her inside.

Suno's tongue licked at the sides of his face, "Oh you are definitely not, it's why you're the only one who gets the full package."

Goku carried her into his small area where his futon was still laid out and set he down gently. His eyes looked to hers and how intently she was watching him, it was like the first time all over again. He pulled out off his belt. Letting it clatter to the ground until he took off his shirt and dropped it in a heap.

"You're such sexy shit Goku." Suno purred as she grabbed at the top of the dress and pulled it down from her shoulders and exposed herself to him. "Come on don't make me wait…"

"Of course not." He disrobed before kneeling down between her legs and then slowly he covered her body with his own.

Suno clutched at his body, her limbs twisting and locking to gain a hold as she embraced her lover. Her voice mewling and crying out in protest as Goku rocked his own hips against hers.

The night would fade into the morning with Suno sprawled out overtop a healthy male body with him still lying there, his hands folded behind his head. The moment was peaceful but unfulfilled, it wasn't hard to know why.

Because it wasn't someone else… There's spirit but no strength or challenge. His eyes flicked down towards Suno who slept with a smile, his eyes looked towards his wastebasket and all of the wasted condoms he had to go through the night before. This was a relief to his urges, like many times before it. Suno was a lover but presently nothing more, she liked him but he didn't have those same feelings about her. Her attraction was to his personality and looks, but he doubted if she could handle the truth about 'what' he was, rather than who he was.

Someone who had the fortitude to handle his secrets, knowing the truth about him and how he was adapting to the world around him. Trying to stay hidden from the world of man so that he might not become like a cigarette extinguished on the bottom of a shoe or crushed like a bug.

A sigh escaped his lips as he just stared up at the ceiling, "A few more days till the full moon, guess I'll have to call in sick on thursday." He admitted reluctantly, but what could he do. He couldn't work that night someone could discover him. "Oh well."

Adapting even after so long was still a hard thing to do.

A/N: Before yall get crazy it is G/CC, he's just having a relationship with Suno because of availability. We might be able to get into why they hooked up in the first place later, but I assure you Goku and Chi-Chi will begin having their moment.
