A/N: Business AUs seem to be pretty popular in the fandom, so this was pretty much an obvious choice for a chapter in my opinion. Just gonna make the company they all work for Capsule Corp, because it's already an established business in the DB Universe.

That's about it.

Chapter 11: Confidence

"Good mornin' Chichi!" A short accountant in a navy suit greeted the receptionist as he exited the elevator, and entered the floor that was the domain of his career.

"Hey Krillin! Goku told me it's a big day for you." She responded to his hello.

She was right. Today was massively important for the man at Capsule Corp

Ever since he got hired, the firm was very kind to him. The paycheck was nice, he's made some great friends, he actually got to put his college degree to use, and there were opportunities to climb the management chain of the company.

That last reason was especially apparent.

He was a top accountant in his position, one of three, and a promotion was up for grabs. Today was the day they were deciding who was going to receive it.

"Yep, they're going to announce which accountant is advancing in the company. Either me, Tien, or Yamcha will become a lead accountant." Krillin said with enthusiasm. "Heh, and if I get it maybe Goku will stop teasing me about how he is higher on the ladder than I am. We would be equals finally!"

"Are you sure you'll get it?" Chichi asked her friend.

"I know I will. My numbers and ratings are higher than both of theirs. They are both my friends but I deserve this more." He said proudly.

"Awesome! What time you gonna find out?"

"Uh, I think she is gonna let us know a little before lunch."

"She? Is...Lazuli going to deliver the news." The raven haired girl assumed with a funny tone.

"Uh yeah, why did you sound like that?"

"You know Goku can't keep a secret. He may have 'accidently' told me you like La-"

"SHHHH!" He didn't let her finish her sentence. "I don't want anyone else to know! We are only good friends. And besides, she is my boss. It's never gonna happen."

"Well if you get the promotion she won't be your boss anymore."

"Yeah that's true, we would be equals in that sense." He reached and started scratching the back of his head, a sort of nervous tick.

"Your secret is safe with me, unlike my husband. But you never know, maybe you should ask her out just to see what she says."

"Maybe I will, if I earn this promotion that is!" That's never gonna happen, she is way outta my league. Krillin said that second part in his head. "Alright, I gotta go start on last month's balance sheet before the mid morning meeting Chichi."

"Ok. And if you do get it maybe a few of us can go out for drinks tonight?"

"I like the way you think Cheech, talk to you later."

Around 15 minutes after Krillin and Chichi's conversation, the woman they had previously mentioned took her turn entering the floor. A blonde woman of authority sporting an open green pant suit came up to Chichi's desk to address her.

"Morning Chichi, how's it going?" She asked.

"Good!" Chichi said with a smile, remembering Krillin's secret.

"What's with that look?"

"Uh, nothing. OH! Bulma has requested a video call with you as soon as you got in today."

"Hmm, better not keep the C.E.O. waiting, catch ya later."

Chichi silently waved as the corn silk haired woman briskly strolled to her office to call the head honcho.

She has a feeling she knows what it's about.

Stepping in and shutting the door behind her, Lazuli got comfortable at her desk.

Wasting no time, she booted up her work computer and webcam so she could call the blue haired genius.

After a few seconds her request to visually and audibly communicate was answered.

"Good morning Lazuli, how are you feeling this morning?" A joyous Einstein acknowledged her worker through the monitor.

"Hi Bulma. I'm fine." Lazuli responded.

"So…" Bulma paused to take a sip of coffee. "Just wanted to see if we would agree on who was getting the promotion between the accountants. Satan City branch is one of the most successful, and my personal favorite, so I just want to see where your head's at."

"Well, I think it's pretty obvious. The numbers speak for themselves. Krillin has a faster production quota, a better satisfaction rating, his financial statements are the most in depth, need I go on?"

"No need. I reviewed the three of their files last night, and while Krillin's were the most impressive, Tien and Yamcha could meet his level with some more training. Don't you think?"

"Yeah but-"

"We aren't just looking for numbers, we need someone to fill a bigger role. How does Krillin do under pressure?"

"Uh, I'm not sure. I'd have to guess probably not that well…"

"How would he do in leading a select team? Something I'm sure he would have to do down the road."

"He probably...probably wouldn't be the best at a leadership role."

Lazuli felt foolish. She usually noticed stuff like that...perhaps she was biased.

"I agree. I've met all three of them and I like them all. Krillin is great at the job we have him in but I don't see him taking the lead accountant role in his respective branch, at least for the time being. I think we should give it to Tien, he fits the fundamental aspects the best."

Lazuli was disturbed. Krillin was a really good work friend, someone she depended on. Not only was he great at his job and had been one of the most reliable employees she managed. He was also only one of two people to consistently make her laugh (the other one being her brother).

They had a mutual respect for each other, but with this opinion Bulma was sharing was making her second guess herself. She felt a tinge of anger. Nothing against Tien, but Krillin deserved it more. Even more importantly she WANTED him to have it...and it had more to do with than just respect. She had feelings for the financial worker and she was finally realizing it.

"But what about loyalty? Krillin has been here longer." The blonde brought up as an attempt to put his name back in the ballot.

"That's true. I would guess he gets along with everyone there while Tien can be a bit prickly." Bulma said, tapping her finger on her chin. "But I don't know if that's enough."

Lazuli wasn't going to let this slip past her fingers.

"I can teach Krillin, he just needs some more...confidence. That's all." A faint blush crept onto Lazuli's face.

Bulma didn't let it go unnoticed and started to giggle.

"Wuh...what's so funny?" Lazuli asked.

"Oh nothing. I think I know what's going on." Bulma paused to think of a proposition. "Give Krillin a task that represents and requires the qualities he will need as a lead accountant. Have it be a two week deadline. His results will be the answer to if he will be receiving the raise. I think that is fair. You're his supervisor and I respect your opinion so I hope you see where I am coming from."

"I understand ma'am. That sounds like an adequate offer." Lazuli said.

"So, why do you want him to earn it so badly?"

"Oh, see, we are friends and I uh, just think he warrants it more than anyone else."

"Nothing else?"

Lazuli's blush was intensifying. "No...Ok I have to go check on the marketing team's newest proposals. Bye!." Lazuli ended the meeting with a click of her mouse.

Although she did actually have to go check on the marketing department that could wait. She had to think about how to get her friend this job.

He did have some fantastic qualities as an accountant, but could he really handle such an essential role?

She thinks he can. His abilities didn't need any help, those were top notch. It was his personality that was going to need to be worked upon. Lazuli had the right idea when she told the C.E.O. he needed more confidence, but how was she supposed to deliver that?

She tapped her fingers ferociously on her oak desk as minutes passed by. Ideas constantly flowing through her brain but she couldn't decide on a plan of action, two weeks was not a long enough time to change someone's personality.

"I could do THAT, but I don't know if that would be such a good idea...heh..." The blonde talked to herself, luckily no one was around to see the deep crimson shade her face was wearing.

It was now 11:45, a quarter of an hour before the company's sanctioned lunch hour.

Since it was a Friday, a majority of the occupants left the vicinity of the premises to celebrate the end of a week with a more tantalizing lunch experience.

Krillin would normally join them, but today was different. He had something much more important than a nice lunch. The man was about to feast on success, not food.

He left his workstation to go meet Lazuli in her area of commission. The agreed upon time the meeting would take place was 11:50 but he couldn't wait.

On his way there he kept daydreaming about certain career scenarios. The increased paycheck, the extra vacation days, his OWN office. Needless to say it was going to be a lot to take in.

Nearing her door he took a moment to collect himself. He exhaled deeply, fixed his hair up nicely, and looked at his attire. He left his sports coat on his chair, it was a warm day, he thought about going back and getting it but it probably wouldn't be that big of a deal.

With one last reassuring fist clench, he knocked on the rectangular access of entry.

"Come in." A cold and feminine voice spoke.

Krillin came through the door and saw the woman he had a crush on, Ms. Gero.

"Krillin!" Lazuli said with maybe a little too much enthusiasm. "You're a little early. No biggie though."

"Sorry, I'm too excited." He replied.

"Take a seat, and do you mind locking the door?"

"Uh, sure, but what about Tien and Yamcha."

"I already emailed them, they won't be joining us."

That makes perfect sense! Why summon all three of us when only one of us is getting the prize! Krillin theorized in his head.

"Take a seat." She cut off his inner thoughts.

He listened, placing his body in the cushioned furniture in front of her desk.

"So...Should you just go ahead and tell me I'm the new-"

"You didn't get the promotion."

"...Huh?"

"We're giving it to Tien. Sorry."

"Oh...okay…"

"That's all."

"Alright, t-talk to you later."

A defeated man got up from his seat and headed for the exit, but before his attempt to leave finished Lazuli said something. "Wait! Sit back down."

He did what as he was told. His body language was a complete opposite from what it was a minute ago, the guy's ego had been shattered to pieces.

"Krillin, why didn't you say anything?"

"What do you mean…" He mumbled.

"Who has the fastest production rate out of any accountant in the firm?"

"M-me."

"Who has the greatest satisfaction rating?"

"Me."

"Who has been here the longest out of You, Tien, and Yamcha?"

"Me."

"Then why not bring any of that up when I told you the news?"

"I...I don't know."

"You can't give up so easily, if you want this position you gotta fight for it!"

Lazuli got up from her rolling chair and rounded her desk, leaning on the front of it while remaining in front of and facing Krillin. Much like him, she had ditched her sports coat earlier. The only visible thing on her torso was a button up blouse.

"You've got to stand up for yourself, you need more confidence if you want to keep getting better at your job."

"Okay...Can I go now?" He said, still defeated.

"The decision isn't final yet."

"What? What do you mean?"

"Bulma called me this morning, she wanted Tien to have it and I wanted you to have it. We settled on an agreement. I have a special accounting venture for you. One that highlights the certain criteria you are lacking, if you are able to perform well enough Bulma will concede the promotion over to you, Mr. Chestnut."

"Really?" His mood instantly improved.

"Yeah, but there is a problem. If you try this now you'll fail."

"What do you mean? I'm determined, I can do this!"

"Krillin...I like you, but you're not ready for this. You don't have leadership qualities and don't have nearly enough confidence in yourself. That's why when I told you didn't receive the offer you wanted to immediately surrender."

The onyx eyed man had to admit, the evidence was sorely stacked against him. He didn't like coming out of his comfort zone very much, something he was going to have to do a lot more if he wanted this.

"Don't be mistaken," The Capsule Corp. supervisor continued. "You're no coward, but you're definitely not ready to take the next step in the company."

"Okay, I get it...I think it stems from my insecurities. Growing up only being five feet tall for pretty much my whole life and not being that attractive, I've never been able to feel like I could take control of a situation. Let alone people. I was so caught up thinking about the numbers and job performance I forgot about the fundamentals. I don't know if I can do this…"

"Yes you can! And fret not, I'm going to help you!"

"No, Lazuli I have to do this on my own otherwise I'll just fail once I step up!"

"You will do it on your own, I'm just going to give you a confidence booster."

"How would you do that?"

"Sorry if this comes off as rude, but you don't have a lot of luck with women. You've never told me about anything about past relationships."

Krillin was caught off guard by the sudden change of conversation. "Uh, well you see, I've only been in one relationship before. It was...pretty toxic."

"I see. Well there is one sure fire way to boost any man's confidence, I think this is all you need."

"I don't...I'm confused."

Lazuli took her hands and started to unbutton her blouse.

"Uh, what the…Is this...are you..." Krillin very awkwardly stuttered as he watched Lazuli's hands slowly work through her shirt.

Once the last button ceased joining both parts of her shirt she pulled the fabric apart, showing Krillin her flat stomach, naval, and black bra.

"Why...What are you...Am I being pranked, this seems cruel." He was in disbelief of what was happening.

"It's real. I've always thought you were pretty cute. Not to mention I've always enjoyed your company over the past few years. I don't have a condom on me, do you?" The blouse was completely gone now as she threw it behind her shoulder.

"WE'RE GONNA HAVE SEX?!" He screamed.

"Shhhh! I know the floor is pretty much empty right now but you still shouldn't yell like that."

Krillin frantically started to pinch himself, he didn't want to wake up but he had a feeling it was going to end any second now anyways.

"You need to calm down, oh and tell me if you don't like this. I'll be sure to stop."

It was safe to say that the accountant was going to absolutely love anything his boss was going to do to him right now.

She took two steps forward, now standing directly in front of the smaller man. She removed off her heels and had them join the same spot her shirt was. Next, she got down to her knees to get a closer inspection of Krillin's groin.

"I've never done something like this. I'm doing it because I genuinely think this the best way to give you the confidence you need. I also think that you're a great guy."

This would have been the perfect time for Krillin to confess his love for the woman in front of him but he didn't want to spoil the moment, at least that's what he told himself. Truth be told he was still a little scared to do it.

Lazuli moved at a relaxed pace. She didn't plan to enjoy tormenting him this much, but the slower movements ramped up the tension of the scenario so much for her employee.

She grabbed the nose of the zipper to his blue slacks and jerked the contraption down. The last thing in the way of what she was looking for was his underwear, luckily for her he was wearing boxers. All she had to do was reach her hand into the dark hole and fish around for it...bingo!

Lazuli pulled out his cock so she could see it in all its glory. She was surprised to say the least.

"Damn Krillin, you are pretty big."

"R-really?"

"Yeah, I've met guys twice as tall as you who aren't even half your length."

"Rr…Really?" His courage was already building its foundation.

"Yes." She could have kept talking but her mouth had other objectives.

She took her pink lips and engulfed the head of his penis.

"~Ohhhhhh~" A moan escaped his mouth. "Lazuli, shouldn't we have kissed first or something?"

His boss removed his organ from her orifice to respond, "Mmm, if you want to."

The blonde got up from the floor and positioned herself on his lap. She moved her head forward and crashed her lips into his.

Krillin instantly felt entranced by her embrace. The soft two pillows she had on his mouth were a captivating feeling and his freed cock was growing stiffer every second they kept their mouths connected.

Lazuli also liked the feeling. His lips as well as his tongue tasted like an orange, perhaps the reminisce of a snack from earlier. Either way his mouth was tantalizing her taste buds and she was happy he let her continue.

He was becoming increasingly comfortable in this current situation, his arms went from resting on the side of the chair to feeling her raw back. They roamed the plains of her body, his cold hands quickly heated up as they touched her warm back.

Her lips were becoming more adventurous, they started to move spots. They went to his neck, his jawline, his throat, his cheek, anywhere she saw fit. The pink mounds wouldn't be absent from his for too long, she kept coming back just in time to get acquainted with his citrus infused palate.

She didn't want to stop, and he didn't want her to either.

The blue eyed woman of enforcement's prescription needed to keep moving forward though.

Still kissing and sucking on anything above his collar bone, she took her right hand and grabbed his dick with it. She started to jerk him off at a rate that somehow matched the same pace as her tongue.

A period of time passed and enough of oral exchanges had taken place, Lazuli lifted her head away from his. A long strand of saliva connected their lips until she got rid of it with her free hand.

"Still enjoying it?" She asked while picking up the speed of her handjob.

"Yeah...I...I'm still speechless." He answered. He still had a million questions, most of them concerned with what was going to happen after today. He really wanted this to blossom into them being boyfriend and girlfriend. But was going to have to wonder that later, Lazuli was on the move.

Finally pausing the shimmying of her palm, she reached her hands around her back. Her black lacy bra unclasped and out popped two lush breasts with rose tipped nipples.

Krillin was memorized by her bust. His mind slowly becoming a little more lust filled, he subconsciously reached for the mounds of fat on her chest and lightly squeezed them.

Unfortunately, lust was quickly replaced with embarrassment.

His cock spurted cum as he was playing with his superior's chest, something he couldn't believe he did. He stained both his collared shirt and the skin of her upper body. The last few strands didn't go anywhere, instead they oozed out and slid down his shaft and nestled at the base of his penis.

"Fuck...I'm so, so sorry! I just-" Krillin tried explaining himself but was set to silent once one of Lazuli's fingers was placed over his trap.

"It's ok, it's not that big of a deal. You probably haven't cum in a while and you were pent up right?"

He nodded.

"That's normal, no need to apologize. Want to keep going?" She did not want him to be discouraged at all, that is the complete opposite of what this exercise was supposed to do.

He nodded once again.

"Good. I'll let you get some payback, but first…" The blonde took her index finger and ran it over the jizz that was sliding down his shaft. She collected some of the liquid on said finger and stuck in her mouth to gage the taste. She had a feeling the taste wouldn't be half bad and she was right.

Krillin shuddered at the sight of her licking his seed.

"Ok, your turn." She said as she stood up to her feet and unbuttoned her second to last barrier. She pulled down her green trousers to reveal a thong, it was the same color as her bra.

Krillin didn't get to marvel in the look of it for long, because it was gone too. It joined the floor with the rest of her attire, instead of sporting her pant suit she was now wearing her birthday suit. Lastly before Krillin got his chance to impress her she faced her desk and bent over it. Her upper body rested on the furniture as her lower half was on full display to the man behind her.

Krillin was in awe, he didn't even care that he ruined his shirt for the day.

"I...I uh, you...you know how to torture a man. You've ne-never done this before?" He asked her.

She twisted her head around to respond coldly. "I'm not a slut Krillin, I'm just a top. You're the only man who will get to do anything like this so you better make good use of it! So, show me what you got little man."

Krillin didn't know what a top meant, hopefully he would get to find out down the road, but Lazuli was right. If she trusted him with her body like this he needed to show her how much he appreciated it.

He copied her earlier actions and got on his knees.

Quickly, he sank the front of his head into the wet slit in front of him.

"~Ahhh!~" Lazuli whimpered. She didn't think he would go tongue deep so fast and she was promptly caught off guard. Even though it was unexpected it certainly wasn't unwanted.

"You, ah fuck, know what you're doing!" She squealed.

He heard her lovely voice and what she said but decided to ignore it. Telling her that he grew up with someone with a porn addiction and still trying to convince her that he was a good man would most likely ruin the mood. He just kept wiggling his tongue inside of her while taking a firm hold of both of her sensuous ass cheeks. Curving his wet organ until he found what he was searching for, he stretched it as far as he could when he finally felt it. He ravished it the best he could, and Lazuli's body was heating up because of it.

"YES! YES! YES!" She encouraged him to go on.

Krillin certainly wanted to keep prodding her g-spot but the way he had to extend his tongue was becoming uncomfortable. It didn't matter though, he would just move from one pearl to the next. Retracting his tongue from her moist opening displeased the bent over blonde, but the moment wouldn't last long as his mouth transitioned over to her clit.

He engulfed the entirety of her sensitive bean into his mouth and started to suckle on it with enthusiasm.

Lazuli expected him to build up some leverage before he got to that spot but she wasn't complaining and her body certainly wasn't either. Her vagina was producing liquids that were spilling out of her and covering her friend's face.

"Keep going! ~Ohhhh~"

Krillin's response was muffled as he kept himself glued to her nether lips, savoring the flavor of her wetness. The taste was initially bitter, but the aftertaste had an addicting sweetness that made him not want to stop.

Lazuli was about to force him to stop to both of their dismays.

Her encouraging moans never halted but Krillin's constant tender sucking had gone on long enough.

"Krillin! I'm, I'm…~EEEEAAA~!" She whined as she climaxed.

A gush of liquid sprayed out of her cave as her thighs shook rapidly.

The force of her squirting was enough to push Krillin's head back away from her. His mug wasn't the only thing that got covered with her cum, his shirt was now soiled with two different people's bodily fluids. It was a small price to pay for what he was getting though.

Krillin stayed kneeling as he waited for Lazuli to calm down after her orgasm, keeping his patience as she gave the ok to go to the next step.

Lazuli got up from the top of her desk, signaling to Krillin that she had fully recovered.

"Ready to keep going?" She kindly asked.

"Yes...I think this is the greatest day of my life." He joked back at her.

"Well, I'd say it's about to get even better. What position do you want?"

"Uh, Lead Managerial Accountant."

The woman face palmed herself. "I meant sex positions."

"Oops, sorry. Uh...I don't uh, really care."

"Then I might as well pick." Lazuli said. She moved to the chair Krillin had been seated earlier and took her turn using it. She spread her legs, moving both over the respected arm rest and draping them there. This gave Krillin the best view he had ever seen.

"Will this work?" She said seducing him further.

"Yeah." Is all he could say as he gulped loudly.

She took her index and middle finger and she spread her crevice open for him. "Ready when you are. And Krillin, don't cum inside of me please."

Krillin approached her causality after nodding to her demand.

He admired this so much that he didn't want it to end. He didn't even think about taking off any of his clothes, the thought didn't dare cross his mind and try to distract him from what was facing him.

Now close to who was unquestionably the love of his life, he grabbed his manhood that was protruding from his open zipper and brought it to her pink hole.

Lazuli read his face and knew he wanted to take his time, she patiently waited for him to insert himself. She hoped he would go gentle, she wasn't used to such a big size.

Krillin placed his tip into her waiting sex.

"Ahhhh, Oh God." He groaned as her walls surrounded the first part of his dick.

He wasn't going to finish prematurely this time, or at least he was going to try his hardest not to.

Slowly his manhood pushed deeper and deeper, inch by inch into Lazuli's pussy. Her womanhood had never been stretched or filled this hard.

Krillin finally ran out of shaft to insert and he was all the way in her. He looked directly into her eyes and started slowly thrusting in and out.

"~Ahh~"

"~Krillin~"

"~Fuck~"

"~Oh Yes~"

"~Shit~"

And "~Lazuli~" were some of the many moaned words the two of them produced as they gently made love.

Krillin wanted even more of her embrace and, sloppily, set his lips on hers again.

The two of them were now devouring each other's voices, leaving the main sound heard in the room the soft slapping of their groins.

The black haired employee started going faster, not on purpose, his hips just started to increase their speed on their own.

Krillin pulled his face away from hers, he didn't necessarily want to, but he had to. If he was going to be fucking faster he needed be able to breathe through is mouth. It wasn't all bad, he got to hear Lazuli's usually icy voice become high pitched and adorable again.

Another thing that caught his attention were her breasts. Those beautiful orbs that humiliated him were now putting him in a trance. They bounced and swayed as her body and the chair jerked.

His hips started to go even faster, no doubt his brain telling him to do it so he can see her tits move even more frantically. It felt amazing, but could his stamina keep up?

Lazuli didn't know why he was going faster and she didn't have to. The fact of the matter is that her body was being pleasured beyond belief. Each thrust was like a battering ram to her womb. All parts of her felt on fire as Krillin continued his plunges.

Liquids kept coating him so he could go even faster, walls slowly compacting in on his rod, and her voice was reduced to silent screams.

The two of them didn't know how close the other were to a mind numbing climax.

Krillin impressed himself with how well he was doing, at least he thought he was doing well. The accountant was inexperienced when it came to sex so it amazed him that Lazuli seemed to enjoy it; It made him very proud. There was also an unspoken element that Krillin was in love with. This was his boss he was having sex with, so many men dream of doing things like this to women who have power over them and apparently he was one of them.

Things had reached the max now, Krillin was pounding into her with everything. Sweat was beading all over her body, and while you couldn't see Krililn's due to his clothes he was just as sweaty as her. He was going to tap out any thrust now, he felt his second load radiating to the tip of his penis but still held out because he didn't want to finish yet.

It was all over for him now. Lazuli reached for his arms, one was on her knee and the other was holding the chair still, and placed them on her breasts.

"Lazuli, I don't thi-"

"~KRILLIN!~" Lazuli cut him off with a roar.

Her walls squeezed his pillar and convulsed around him. A jet of liquid streamed out of her sex, this luckily propelled Krillin's cock out of her. If that hadn't have happened he would have cum in her tunnel for sure.

But he didn't.

Instead as soon as he was forced to exit her warm canal he came with her.

Big ropes of white batter shot out of him and onto Lazuli's stomach. The first couple of strands fired out by themselves, after they landed he started to touch himself so all of it could be flushed out of his body.

Her thin waist and smooth belly was drenched with her subordinate's seed.

Lazuli wasn't surprised with how much he had cum, it made sense considering the situation.

"I take it...you enjoyed it?" She said, panting.

Krillin didn't answer, instead he took the hand on his cock and started to jerk off again. His hand moved fast as he remembered what he did to this blonde beautiful Goddess.

The way she looked while they were in the act, the way she said his name, the view of his cum over her stomach, he didn't forget any of it. Recent memory's all ambushed him at once, "LAZULI!" He screamed as another, much smaller, rush of cum unloaded out of his cock and joined the puddle on her body.

Now exhausted Krillin fell to the floor, landing on his butt.

The room was silent as they collected themselves.

Even though the two of them just had an incredible experience they had big problems ahead of them. Lazuli checked the time and it was 12:30, only half an hour before everyone came back from lunch. She had to clean up and get everything in order...maybe after a couple of minutes of rest.

Krillin was rather mellow right now. "So...what do you have planned for the rest of the day? I mean like, you know, work wise."

She chuckled. He was such a dork, but that is something she adored about him. "I was going to go over each department's progress reports, but I might go and give myself the rest of the day off."

"Yeah sorry, I uh…" He stopped talking and started unbuttoning his shirt then handed it to her. "Here you can wipe that off with this, it's dirty anyways."

"Thank you," She started to dab the white blots on her person. "How are you gonna work for the rest of the day without a shirt?"

"I have an extra one in my car. I always keep a spare with me ever since I spilt that coffee on me the first month I was here."

"I remember that!" She said while laughing hysterically.

"Yeah, yeah, just throw that shirt away if you don't mind." Krillin stood from the floor to properly thank Lazuli. "Listen Lazuli, I just want to say I app-"

"No, don't say thank you until you get that promotion. Speaking of which…" The still naked woman got up from the chair and walked over to a shelf on the wall labeled 'Outgoing' and pulled out a manilla folder, then promptly delivered it to the kind man. "This is the project Bulma wants you to do, use your new found sense of self to achieve this. Now hurry up and go to your car before anyone sees you. I'm gonna leave early today."

Krillin received the documents then got one more look at the outstanding woman in front of him. She was right, he CAN do this!

Before he turned around to walk out of her office she leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Good luck."

He acknowledged her then started to reach for the door until she interrupted him again. "And Krillin...your penis is still out."

Looking down, he noticed that his member was indeed still showing through the hole his zipper made. "Oh…" He blushed. "Right, thank you."

Stepping out of the room he was relieved to see no one was around. He b-lined for his office so he could at least cover himself up with his sports coat, after that he was off to his car to retrieve the rest of his outfit.

His mission was successful! Some people did spot him, but they were too far away to notice he was shirtless under his coat.

He walked through the elevator onto the floor for the second time today, much like the first instance Chichi stopped him to converse.

"Oh, hey Krillin." Goku's wife said.

"Hey Chichi, people started to get back from lunch?"

"Sorta, you know how they are on Fridays. Early to leave but late to get back."

"That's the truth." He chuckled at her quip.

"Goku was on a sales lunch so he couldn't eat with me today."

"Oh, is that so."

"So I was the only one here today from 12 to about 12:45."

"Okay...where are you going with this?"

"The two of you were very loud you know."

Krillin felt all the color leave his face. "I-uh, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Surrrreeee, don't worry I won't tell anyone. You or Lazuli can give me the details later if you want. I guess this means you got the promotion huh?"

"...Kinda...I'll tell you about it later..."

*TWO WEEKS LATER*

"Let's go Krillin!" His best friend Goku said with enthusiasm as he patted his back. "I knew you had it in you!"

Yep, Krillin got the promotion today. Bulma actually had to come over to their building and while she was here she personally reviewed his results with the assignment she had bestowed upon him. She was impressed and kept her end of the bargain.

Goku and Chichi came over to his workstation to congratulate him. He was in the middle of packing things up to move into his new office.

"Are Tien and Yamcha mad at you?" Goku asked.

"Yamcha no, I don't think he even wanted the job. Tien...well you know how he is, I don't think anyone really knows what he is thinking."

"Ain't that the truth." Chichi piped in. "Are we going out for drinks finally? To celebrate?"

"Ooh, good idea Cheech. Can we go to the one with the nacho bar?" He asked his wife.

"Sure honey, but please don't over do it this time. I'm gonna ask everyone around to see if they want to go."

"Good!" Krillin told her. "But I'm gonna ask someone in particular if you don't mind...Actually I'm gonna go do that now. I'll catch up with you guys at 5:00."

He gave Goku a reassuring fist bump and waved to the husband and wife as he darted through the floor to his destination. He got there in record time.

*Knock Knock Knock*

"Is it important?" A voice called.

"Yes!" He said.

"It's open."

The door got pushed by the now lead accountant and gave him access to what was behind.

There were two blondes, Lazuli and Launch.

"Am I interrupting something?"

"Kinda…" Lazuli retorted.

"Sorry, it'll be just two seconds. A bunch of us are going out, probably to a bar, after work today. We won't be the only ones there but you wanna make it a first date?"

"Oh…" Lazuli was caught off guard.

There was an alluring amount of silence.

"Ahem!" Launch was the one to break the silence.

"Huh? Right sorry." She collected herself. "Yes, I would like that very much."

"Awesome! Launch we'd love for you to come too! Alright, I'll leave you guys alone now."

He fulfilled his promise and closed the door. He took a victory lap back to his desk. He didn't care how smug of a look he had on his face, all he cared about was fantastic his life was right now.

And he had Lazuli to thank for that. Because of her, he had something he didn't know he needed.

Confidence.

A/N: That's it.

Cheesy last line? I think so, but I also find it charming lol.

Doing a commission next, and if you have an idea for a commission LMK.

Warning, the next one will have smut. Too much smut.

And Please Review!
