Out of the Frypan
Summary:
After Master Roshi... *ahem* saved Mt. Frypan, young Goku and Chichi have a moment together.
"You know Goku, you freed my father from this place."
"Freed? I didn't see any chains or walls holding him in."
"No, but he wouldn't allow us to leave while his home was still there. I don't even remember living in the mountain palace."
"Oh." Goku didn't quite understand how you can be attached to a place. His grandpa's hut was far in the distance now, but there wasn't anything left there. Or maybe that's why the Ox King wouldn't leave, there was something important left there like his little orange grandpa. Goku nodded, starting to get it.
"But you freed my father and that makes you a hero. And do you what the rule is for heroes?"
Goku has so far been unimpressed with all of society's rules. "There's a rule?"
Chichi blushed. "You, um, get something from the king's daughter."
Getting things is always nice, it could be food! "What is it?"
"Well, um", she fidgeted then quickly stepped over, put her hand on his cheek, and his lips to hers.
Her face was so very close, but the warmth of her hand and softness of her lips was distracting. Goku had never been this close to another person's face; to his sensitive nose, her scent was everywhere, blocking out the choking dust of the fallen mountain. It combined with the surprising sensation of her lips and a warmth in the pit of his stomach to go beyond distracting, and created a simply overwhelming experience.
After only a second, Chichi stepped back, her face bright red. "Heroes get a kiss from the princess, it's the rule~" She giggled self-consciously at Goku's expression. "So, um, bye!" She scampered off.
As reality reasserts itself, Goku's brain is going through some restructuring. The hamster wheel changing gears.
The amorphous blob of thought termed [desires] or [life goals] generally consisted of two main concepts: [combat] and [food]. Now however, a third tinier concept is burgeoning, one tentatively called [Chichi].
As his life continues, this concept waxes and wanes, but never does it disappear.
