Chapter 12: Goku

"Are you ready?" asked Piccolo. Goku came out of the bathroom running his hand through his hair. Piccolo smiled at his lover and kissed his cheek.

"Oh," said Goku wrapping his arms around Piccolo's neck. "Is that all I get?"

"Maybe," teased the Namek. He pressed his mouth over the Saiyan's several times. Finally, he let Goku have the deep passionate kiss he had asked for. Goku melted into Piccolo's arms but his lover pulled him up. "Not now," he whispered. "You have a tournament to win and I have work."

"Tonight then?" asked Goku.

Piccolo kissed the boy's lips. "Tonight, I promise. All you want."

"Alright." They pulled apart and held each other's hand as they left for their destinations.

"I'm dropping you off first, right?" Piccolo said as they climbed into the car.

"Guess so."

"And what time do you want me to pick you up?" asked Piccolo.

"As soon as you can." Goku leaned in the driver's window and kissed Piccolo one last time before they parted. As the car pulled away he felt his heart long for the comfort of Piccolo's, but he reassured it that the Namek would return in a few hours.

"So was that the boy?"

Goku turned around there was Vegeta leaning against the side of the building; obviously he had been watching. "Hey, I didn't see you there Vegeta," said Goku. "How've you been?"

"I asked if that was the boy that hurt you Goku," replied Vegeta. He wore one of his hard, cold glares that Goku was never really sure how to respond to.

"Yes, it was," he said. "Why did you want to know?"

Vegeta cracked his knuckles. "Cuz I'm gonna beat the crap outta him for making you cry like that!"

"No don't!" Goku cried, now very worried. It was a misunderstanding! He didn't mean to, really he didn't! Oh, don't concern yourself with it Vegeta, you don't need to."

"You love him?"

"Yes. Very, very much."

"He love you back?"

"I'm confidant that he does."

"He treats you nice; you're not unhappy or anything? He satisfies everything you need?"

Goku blushed a deep red but replied with, "yes he does. I'm very happy."

"Alright," Vegeta said slowly after looking him up and down. "We're matched up in the fifth round this time. I'll see you in the ring. And Goku?" Vegeta pulled himself off the wall to go inside. He gave Goku a stern glare. "If you really love you little boyfriend, bring it on." With that, Vegeta stalked off to the inside of the club.

"Hey, what was all that about Kid?" asked the DJ coming up behind Goku. It was the same DJ Goku had become so familiar with in all these tournaments; the same one who had saved his skin so many times.

"I-I don't know," stuttered Goku. "I thought we worked things out. I'm not so sure now."

"What did he tell you?"

"Huh?"

"What did he tell you? I wanna know, I'll kick his ass right here and now."

"Why are you so worried about me? What's it to you what happens between he and him, huh?"

The DJ grabbed Goku and pulled him around to the back of the building. He cornered Goku against the wall and said, "I have every right to know what happens between you and him cuz I don't trust him like you do. How can I protect you from him when you don't see the danger you're in?"

"I'm not in any danger!" Goku cried "And even if I was, it's not your job to go around rescuing me!"

The DJ pulled Goku's mouth to his and proceeded to tenderly kiss the youth. Goku fell into shock. He let the DJ do as he pleased and when he finished, asked, "Piccolo....is that you?" The DJ pulled off his shades and baseball cap to revile Goku's sweet lover. "What are you doing here?"

"The same thing I've been doing for the past 2 years; my job," Piccolo replied.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You never asked." Piccolo kissed Goku's cheek gently.

"You weren't gonna keep this a secret for long, were you?"

"I wanted to surprise you after you won the tournament. Guess that kinda died, huh?" They both laughed a little and embraced in a hug. "So, what did Vegeta say?"

Goku nuzzled Piccolo's chest. "It doesn't matter now. I know what I gotta do."

"And what's that?"

"Just trust me, okay?"

Piccolo thought it over and finally put his mouth to Goku's and whispered, "alright I trust you," before kissing him deeply.

"Call," said Piccolo, now dressed as the DJ again.

"Heads," said Vegeta as the coin flipped in the air. The DJ grabbed it and slapped it on his hand then reviled what it had landed on: Heads, just as Vegeta had called.

Goku felt faint as he remembered his last experience at one of these tournaments. That sick feeling in his stomach was coming back but Goku just told himself to calm down. He closed his eyes and took deep breaths, thinking of Piccolo and their plans for later that night. He listened to the beats of the music which became familiar to him and he smiled knowing that Piccolo was doing that purposefully to comfort him.

"Hey Kid, you're up!"

Goku opened his eyes to find the ring ready for him and the music he usually danced to was playing. He started out with a basic step, as the beat wasn't one to pull out the prettier moves just yet.

Then the music broke out into a complicated tune and at the exact same moment Goku flowed into the more difficult moves with it. Down, around, jump back up, step one, two, step one, two all in perfect unison. Slowly Piccolo took away Goku's practice music and mixed in something else, but it was like Goku could read it and knew it like an old friend already. The crowed clapped and cheered him on, but Goku was deft to everything that wasn't the music; he was blind to all the distractions. He put his faith in his body and it did the rest for him.

Then his turn ended and he handed the ring back over to Vegeta. The prince stood there frozen in place. There was no way he could top what Goku had put out, no way anyone could top what Goku put out, and he choked. Finally he shook his head and ran out of the club. Goku had finally won his war.

The night club broke out into a roar of cheers. But above them all, Goku could hear his friends the loudest.

"WAY TO GO G! YOU TOOK HIM DOWN HARD!" screamed Krillin jumping on Goku's back. "YOU SEE?! YOU SEE NOW?! WHAT WE TOLD YOU WAS TRUE WASN'T IT?!"

"IT SURE WAS," Goku called back. He smiled at Piccolo who flashed him a toothy grin and mouthed "I love you."

"Well, now I feel threatened," said Emily, pushing her way around the crowd of people. Sammy and Chichi followed behind her and not long after was Tien and Yamcha. "I was planning on entering one of these tournaments too, but how am I going to compete with you?"

Goku laughed as he lead them away so the next round could start. "I'd be happy to teach you some steps," Goku offered and Emily looked delighted.

"We'll talk about it," she said.

"Hey Goku, win the tournament and we'll all go out for ice cream, okay?" said Krillin sliding off Goku's back.

"Alright," said the Saiyan as he found a table for them to sit down and socilize at.

"Oh! See? We TOLD you so! Didn't we Krillin? We told you so," said Tien enjoying rubbing in the fact that Goku was the new Prince of Street Steps. "So, where's Piccolo anyways? He disappeared into the crowd somewhere..."

"How'd you know Piccolo was here?" asked Goku stopping in his tracks.

"Cuz Piccolo's the DJ," Tien replied. "I could tell from his voice the first time we met. And of course Yamcha confirmed that."

"Alright you've had him for long enough! I'm stealing my lover away now!"

"Piccolo!" Goku cried happily and bounded over to the car. He leaned in the window and kissed Piccolo quickly. "Hey Krillin, if I'm not mistaken, you promised us ice cream if I won right?"

"Who said I was paying?" Krillin replied. "With all that prize money you could buy the whole ice cream shop!"

"We'll meet you there," Goku said as he climbed inside the car that Piccolo was driving. They both waved good bye and drove off down the street.

"So, how does it feel?" asked Piccolo.

"Not as good as being with you," the boy replied.

"Really?"

"Truly."
