5 Years Without you

As everyone celebrated the victory inside, I sat behind the house. I was such disbelief. The strongest kid in the world was on his way to getting married. I'm happy for him, but it still makes me sad. He's younger than me, but he's so lucky. It's not fair. I felt wetness trying to make itself known.

I should be beyond happy for Goku, but it still hurt. It hurts so bad. Goku is going to be so happy. Chichi better take good care of him, and he better do the same.

"Yamcha?" Uh? I looked up and saw it was Tien. He then sat next to me. "What's the matter?" Should I tell him? I bet he won't even understand. I gave up the idea and told him to leave me alone. "Yamcha!" He sounded serious, and I quickly looked back at him. He looked mad. Was he angry at me? Oh no! I messed up again.

I was bracing for the scolding, but it never came. Instead, I felt Tien petting my head. I open my eyes again, and he still looked angry. "Why aren't you yelling at me?"

He suddenly pulled his hand away and looked confused. I was tempted to pull his hand back but resisted. "Why would I yell at you? You haven't done anything wrong." I couldn't help stare in amazement. This was surreal. "Aren't you going to tell me what's wrong?"

Now I was confused. Maybe I should tell him. What harm is there in telling someone? I just hope he won't make fun of me, just like everyone else. "I always wanted to get married." He had a raised eyebrow and said what. "Yeah. I dreamed of setting down and having a happy family. Especially a happier one than where I came from." I looked away and hugged myself. "You probably think I'm pathetic for having such a dream."

"Why would I think that?" I looked at him, and he was smiling. "Everyone has a dream, and if that's yours, I can't say anything." I couldn't help smile and punched his shoulder. "I hope your dream comes true." With that, he left.

That was nearly a month ago before he went off training and I went to the city with Bulma. It hasn't been a year until we had an argument about how I did absolutely nothing. How I was a complete failure as a man. The altercation escalated that not only did she started throwing punches but also kicked me out.

I was in my old bandit hideout, thinking over what I was going to do. My bandit days are long behind me. I had thoughts about what it would be like if I was gone until I looked at my oldest friend. I should find a way to be able to support Puar and myself. So, I went back to West City.

I couldn't believe my luck. Some of the guys I met during my training helped me land my first job in a warehouse. It was an excellent start for me. I was even able to afford an apartment and new clothes. I worked my butt off and even was able to have a list of ready temp jobs.

For a good year of doing temp work, I was even able to have a savings account. Not to mention a few little luxuries, like having a nice book collection and a TV. But pretty soon, Bulma showed up again. With her around it was hard to relax. She wanted to spend all my off days together. Since I have money now, maybe I could finally impress her.

I would try to take her out on all types of dates, but she would always bail on me last minute. It's even worse when I go through a lot of trouble planning or getting something that wasn't easy. But when we do get through a date, we always ended up at my place. This where things get ugly.

She would want to have endless makeout sessions and even walk around my apartment naked. Not to mention the mess she leaves around. Takes me forever to clean up, and she hogs the bathroom when I have to get ready for work. It stresses me out. She also gets angry about my particular problem.

I really don't know what's wrong with me. It already takes me forever to get a boner. But Bulma stressing me out makes it worse. One day I just had it and went to the batting cages in hopes of calming down. But I was never expecting to land a contract.

…

So, Yamcha wants to get married and settled down. Funny enough, that sounds just like him. Wouldn't that be nice? I don't know about the family part, but it would be amazing to wake up to him every day. That's when I began to frown. I doubt he would ever want that with me.

After leaving Roshi's island, I couldn't help noticing I was being followed. Turns out, it was Launch no less. This sure to be trouble. Thankfully she was able to take care of herself, but I wouldn't eat her cooking. For a good reason, too.

When she had blue hair, it was peaceful. She kept to herself while I trained. But at night, it was a different story. Thanks to her, I was able to take warm baths instead of cleaning in the river. But the downside, she would sometimes walk in on me.

At first, she claimed it was an accident. If this wasn't her home, I would argue with that. Then one night, she entered but blonde. This isn't good. I was expecting bullets but got a huge surprise.

She started to get undress. I quickly covered my eyes. "What are you doing!"

"Joining you." I didn't get a chance to react when I felt her enter the tub. Panic shot through me as I felt her body on top of mine. She was even trying to pull my hands away from my face. "Come on. Am I not good enough?"

"What is wrong with you!" I try my best not to hurt her as I left the restroom. I quickly got dressed and left with Chiaotzu. I needed to get as far away from her. That was almost 6 months ago, and I thought I was done with her. How wrong was I.

She apologized, and she promised to not step over my boundaries. I sure hope so. After a long day, I stood outside, watching the stars. Tonight it was tranquil. Well, it was until I heard wolves off in the distance. "Yamcha. I wonder what you

're up to."

I couldn't help frown as I thought about him. I wonder when I'll see him once more. We don't even know if there will be another tournament. How will I be able to see him again? Would he even want to see me? Maybe he doesn't.

That thought hurt, and I sat up. I don't want to believe it. We'll meet again, and he'll be happy to see me. Maybe when that day comes, I could tell him. Even if he rejects me, I just hope we'll still be friends.

It's been 2 and a half years since that night. I just came in from training, and Launch was watching TV. I was about to pass her until something caught my attention. "… rookie Yamcha is rising to the top with how he been saving the Titans in his first year."

I can't believe it. Yamcha is on tv, and he's playing baseball. Glad to see he's doing good. Plus, he's as hot as I remember. But that uniform sure adds to it. After watching the game with Launch, I slept outside. I wanted to be alone in my thoughts.

Yamcha still had long hair. The uniform he wore really suits him. Seeing him triggered a few memories of what I know lies underneath. He's the perfect eye candy. Not to mention that perfect sneak peek of what he has. That thought alone was getting me hard.

Times like these, I'm glad to be alone. It's the only time I can be diluted in the fantasy of the what if's. What if Yamcha was here, and he returned my feelings? I put a hand in my pants and began to stroke myself. What if it was Yamcha stroking me? What if I was sucking him?

I stuffed two fingers in my mouth to muffle the moans that wanted to escape. What if I was sucking him? I almost came at that thought. To hear Yamcha's sound of pleasure as I fucked him. At that, I couldn't control my release. "Damn it!" I need to have better control.

…

After getting that contract, it has been nothing but up-hill for me. Well, sort of. Me and Bulma were still having our ups and downs. But at least baseball filled my time nicely and put food on the table, even more with sponsorships.

I was just done changing when a few teammates wanted to chat. I asked them what was up. "You have a girlfriend and like girls, right?"

"Right. What's your point?" They looked at each other before looking back at me.

"It's really none of our business, and we completely understand." Victor cleared his throat. "We have noticed that you sometimes behave 'interesting'." I asked what he meant. "Is there a good reason why you wait till everyone leaves to use the locker showers?"

I felt my face heating up, and I nervously fidget with my fingers. I felt sweat starting to build and slide down my back. "Is it that noticeable?" Everyone nodded their heads. What could I possibly say to these guys? They all seem to be waiting for an answer. "Can't a guy have a moment to himself?"

They didn't seem to believe me. Everyone, but Victor, left. "Look, bro. When you're ready, you can tell us. We wouldn't think anything different of you. We're like a family here, and honesty is important. But if you're not ready, just take your time." He was starting to walk away until he looked over his shoulder at me. "By the way, my husband says you're cute. And thanks for the ramen recipe. We really loved it." What just happened?

After that, everything went back to normal, but it did get me wondering. What were the guys trying to say? What did they mean by "interesting"? a few months later Bulma came to visit during practice. There she was meeting the team.

The moment she hugged me, I could smell the alcohol on her breath. Which means trouble was going to happen. Not an hour later she was flirting with one of the shortstops. Victor asked if I was going to do anything. I looked at him before turning my attention back at Bulma's direction. "Are you crazy?" He asked what I meant. I felt a heavyweight on my shoulders as I spoke my next words. "I prefer to keep my relationship issues private."

The rest of the day was practice and Bulma flirting with almost the whole team. I try to focus and get pointers from the coach and Victor, our co-coach. Afterward, it was a struggle to get Bulma to leave with me. Especially with her fighting me the whole time.

I drove her to her home because no way is she sleeping over again. The moment I got her to her room, the yelling began. "Why can't you ever be a man! Why won't you fuck me! Am I not fuckable! You should be having your way with me since I'm your fucking girlfriend!" She then came close to me and brought my face down for a kiss. "Come on, Yamcha! We've been together like forever. Don't you love me?" She then slapped me. "You're seeing someone else!" I tried to speak, but she punched my gut before taking a swing for my face. "JUST LEAVE!"

That fight was over a year ago, and I'm still waiting for Bulma to call. Sometimes it takes a year or two before she apologizes and asks to get back together. During those off times, I try to focus on myself.

I was getting ready to step up to the plate when a fight broke out. This was the second-best part of playing baseball. These little fights always brought me a little TOO excited. So much that I practically skipped into the mix.

After the game, I was surprised to see Bulma AND Krillin. I was super happy to see one of my martial arts buddies again. I was even hoping Tien and Chiaotzu were here too. Sadly they weren't, but after Bulma filled me in on the news, my excitement came back. "Just let me speak to coach."

After telling the coach I was taking a break for some time, I excitedly joined my friends. I was practically jumping in my skin as Bulma flew us to find Tien. My excitement didn't even go down when Bulma questioned why I never got this excited when it came to her.

She really can't blame me. Doing part-time training wasn't fun these past 5 years. I have been craving a challenge. Even thought about seeking Tien to be my training partner again. Tien. For some reason thinking about him made me nervous. I hope I look ok. Don't want to seem that I slacked off.
