"Could we can go to a place with a little more privacy " Piccolo asked.
You both glanced over and noticed Vegetta storming passed the window.
"That would probably be for the best" you nod at him.
You walked in silence side by side further away from the house until you were on the outskirts of town.
Feeling winded from training with Vegetta and still not having got any rest or food in your stomach, you bent over with your hands on your knees and breathed heavily.
"Ah! Are you okay!" Piccolo reached out his hand towards you concerned.
huff* "I'm... im fine" *huff* you replied waving his hand away.
"Uh right." He straightened himself upright and cleared his throat.
You gathered yourself and turned to him with a brave face. "So what is there to continue? I'm surprised you even came to talk to me. You made it pretty clear how you felt."
"Nothing about what I feel for you is clear!" Piccolo rose his voice. His eyebrows furled with aggravation.
His tone startled you, but not as much as his words. You blushed internally not fully aware of the meaning of them. "What I feel for you". So did that mean Piccolo HAS feelings for you? You noticed a light shade of pink in his cheeks.
"What you feel for me?" You repeated his words in question.
"Huh?" He hadn't realized his own words.
You stepped towards him until you were less than an arms length away from him. "So,... what is it you feel for me then?"
"Uh uh..." Piccolo lost his words from your closeness. His cheeks grew more rosey and he fumbled around with what to say. "Uh,.. well you see... what I really meant was..."
His awkwardness warmed you. Your anger around the situation vanished. You mustered up your remaining energy and lifted your feet from the ground. You swiftly silenced his stumbling lips with your own.
A few seconds of anxiety lingered with uncertainty of how Piccolo would react. His body immediately had tensed up once your lips collided. Your heart beat rapidly. The anxiety built and you were about to pull away when you felt his body relax. His hand was in your hair now as he pulled you closer. He tightened his lips into yours closing any gaps. His other hand wrapped around your waist steadying your flight. A mixture of feelings surged through you.
Finally you pulled away breathing heavily for air. You placed your forhead against his taking in the moment. You went to speak his name, to say anything, but your mind went blank and Everything faded black.
Piccolo flew with haste towards Gokus house. He carried your unconscious body is his arms. Stopping right at the door he hesitated before knocking but overcame it and banged firmly.
The door swung open to a smiling Goku. "Hiya Pico...lo?" Goku noticed you in Piccolos arms. "Uh,.. hey.. I know your not very good with emotions BUT DID YOU HAVE TO KNOCK HER OUT?" Goku cried.
"HEY! WHATS ALL THE COMMOTION OVER THERE WE HAVE A BABY TRYING TO SLEEP! HONESTLY GOKU WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH..." Chichis words fell flat. Her hand halted just as she was about to smack Goku with her shoe. "Good heavens, what happened?!"
Piccolo groaned. "She just needs rest is all. Do you think you have a spare bed she could use?"
"Yknow between Gotens room and the nursery for pan, there's not much room." She crosses her arms.
Piccolo frowned.
"But we do have a spare bed in the nursery she can use. Come along." Chichi turned and ushered him to follow.
"This way" Chichi opened the door to the nursery and pointed to the bed on the right side of the room.
"Thanks" Piccolo entered the room only to have two pairs of wide eyes staring at him. "Great.." he mumbled.
Videls and Gohan stood by the crib that pan was resting in. Videls eyes flashed from you to Chichi rapidly. Chichi just shrugged in response.
Piccolo laid you down gently on the bed and propped your head up on the pillow. He nodded, then turned and left; walking silently passed Gohan and Videl. Everyone followed him back into the main entrance of the house.
"Uh... so are you going to explain what happened?" Gohan asked confused.
"No" he replied flatly.
"Wait a minute.. piccolo did something happen between you too?" Videl half cracked a smile.
Piccolos body quivered at the question and he quickly turned away. "No"
"Ooooooh something totally happened" Videl squealed. Chichi slid up to her shoulder with her hands to her mouth hiding a huge grin. The two started whispering to each other.
"What do you think it was?" Chichi asked.
"I don't know? A confession maybe?" Videl replied.
"You don't think..." Chichi paused
"No way!.." Videl giggled.. "maybe they did!"
Piccolo fake coughed. "My hearing is very sensitive you know."
The both snorted and pulled away from each other.
Gohan butted into the conversation. "Say Piccolo. Why didn't you just take her to your house?"
Piccolo flushed red. His house only had one bed and the thought of you in it made him blush.
"See I knew something happened between you too!" Videl chimed in matter of factly.
"NOTHING HAPPENED!" Piccolo fumed.
waaaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaah* Pan began crying in the other room.
"Uh oh" Videl fussed. "Gohan?" She looked at him expectantly.
"Aw but Videl, I got her last time" Gohan whined.
"I'll take this one" Piccolo pushes past Videl and chichi and headed towards the nursery. "If it'll get me away from the barrage of accusations" he stomped away.
"Something definitely happened" Videl lastly leaned over to Chichi chuckling. She nodded in agreement.
Piccolo entered the nursery and walked over to Pans crib. He picked her up gently and hushed her. Pan immediately stopped crying and smiled up at the Namekian. "That's a good girl" he cooed in his deep voice.
"Piccolo?"
Startled, he swung around. You had woken up. His heart thumped.
