7. superstar


Her husband was the strongest man in the world.

Funny how that fact took so long to sink in. She had been there when he won. She had watched the terrible fight for the championship title as it played out in front of her very eyes. Everything had seemed so surreal by the end.

Life seemed so surreal.

Here she stood, married to the man she had pined after as a child. Living in a small country house. A typical housewife. Cooking, cleaning, and enjoying plenty of fun with her husband in those moments of downtime. And now, pregnant, too.

Chi-Chi rubbed her stomach, smiling even if the bump wasn't visible yet. The little boy, or girl, inside her was slowly growing with each passing day and she couldn't wait to see the child. Goku couldn't wait, either. Ever since she had told him the news, he'd been asking if it was time yet. He clearly had no idea how pregnancy worked, though she couldn't really blame him considering how he had grown up.

Still, as happy as it made her, going out into the world with Goku beside her, introducing herself as his wife… it all seemed so strange.

They had come to collect Goku's winnings from the tournament, and she stood in the background as he discussed payment options with the man at the desk. Chi-Chi wasn't sure what help she could offer, so she stood back and observed the area… and the people around them.

Turning her eyes from the tournament poster that had plastered Goku's picture into their hall of fame list, Chi-Chi found that quite a few people were doing double-takes as they glanced to the poster then to Goku himself. He didn't seem to notice at all. Dressed in his signature gi, which he rarely changed out of, and with that wild of hair of his poking out in every direction, he already pulled the attention of the regular passerby. But when people were able to so quickly connect him to being the strongest man in the world, the winner of the World's Martial Arts Tournament, the Strongest Under the Heavens… their awe became incredibly obvious.

With a slight twitch of her lips, Chi-Chi stepped closer to Goku, grabbing his arm in hers. Much like she had after he had proposed to her on the tournament stage. His body was warm, always warmer than hers, and standing in his presence was like huddling under a comfort blanket.

Though his voice was cute in his slight confusion. "Huh? Something wrong, Chi-Chi?"

She hummed. "No. Not really."

"Okay, then, why are you grabbing me?"

She almost laughed. Even after being so close to him at home, there were some things he still didn't understand. Lifting up on her toes, Chi-Chi answered him with action as she landed a kiss to his cheek, mimicking what she had done before, hoping to jog the memory of all the people staring at Goku, especially the nearby women who had that longing look in their eyes. Because this man, this martial arts superstar, was her husband.

And she had no problem letting the whole world know.
