Chapter 21
" I love you, Piccolo" Gohan's voice lacked the warmness and adoration it always had whenever he speaks to his darling dearest it was instead laced with indignation
Piccolo felt a cold shiver ran up his spine and all over, the boy's breath was haggard something in him screamed to run away as fast as possible and as far away from the boy
The half Saiyan never acted like this before, the air between them felt eerie ghost hands brushing their skins slowly, the kid shuffled and moved himself to be able to meet his mentor eye to eye, he held the Namekian's face and caressed his cheeks, the atmosphere felt like they were deep underwater, impossible to breath in
"I won't leave you "
All the red flags was flailing, alarm bells savagely ringing, it's like Gohan was no longer there, there was only something, Primal
Gohan wrapped his arms around Piccolo's neck, then leaning in to whisper on his ears
" nothing in this world can take me away from you" he exhaled making the Namekian's ears twitch, then leaned back to face his tall friend
" Ok? "
All Piccolo can do was slowly nod
"Great!" the little boy, embraced him then planted a kiss on his cheek before getting off, the chilling overtone slowly dissipating
The green alien wanted to scamper but he held on, and dignifiedly increased his distance with the boy
"That, that was new" Piccolo said to himself thickly swallowing whatever that built up, he spent the night not being able to doze off
