Chapter 15
"You were singing, but your mouth wasn't moving and you were making " Piccolo gestured with his ears twitching "all those instrumental noises"
Gohan thought for a moment "me, singing?"
Piccolo nodded
Gohan contemplated on what to say, he did remember singing but that was just him reminiscing what his Dad was playing on their radio, his father said it was a mix tape from his friend Bulma, something about it being a memento
"Mysteries abound made of a deep energy~ " Gohan sang the lyrics
"That's it, that was it, but your voice sounded different" Piccolo although his face was impassive and tone composed grew more wary
The young half Saiyan felt anger building up, he wanted to strangle anything that was making his Piccolo this agitated, he collected himself, as he needed to know more on what happened
The little one shared with his friend what he was doing awhile back, his scribbles and what he was reminiscing about, The Namekian listened intently, nodding every once in a while and sharing his piece too
"it's as if you were in my head " the kid looked up at the cave's roof with his thumb under his chin pointing finger bent and under his lip
"it's like we were linked" both said exactly at the same time looking at each other not missing any beats, but neither of them spoke the words
Gohan was surprise their unison circulated clear as a virgin spring but he didn't have time to act shocked, he sprung, climbed and hug Piccolo by the neck, he perceived it, his darling best buddy losing his cool
With his small hands he cupped his friend's face as best as he could and tenderly rubbed his cheeks against Piccolo's squishing them together, wanting to distract the Namekian from his growing distress, the half Saiyan desired for Piccolo to know that, whatever this thing was, he wasn't going to go through it alone, they will figure it out together like a team!
Ma junior snorted understanding the sentiment, cooling himself, not bothering to shove the boy off him nor give anymore comments, he closed his eyes and continue meditating, ending the discussion then and there
The half Saiyan was cognizant that Piccolo will probably think about this for days before bringing it up again, Gohan realize he was on his friend's lap and the taller one didn't push him off, since Piccolo seem to be open to touch right now, he nestled in between his friend's crossed legs
The boy had one of the best sleep he ever experience in his young life
