Piccolo awoke with a start. He found himself lying on his white cape, blood caked on his hands and wrists. Pain shot throughout his body as he sat up. Piccolo cursed and cried out as memories of the night before flooded his mind.

"Son of a bitch" Piccolo said as he pulled himself shakily to his feet.

Piccolo flew in the direction of Kami's Lookout praying to every God he had heard about that Nail would still be their waiting.

*#*#*#*

Nail had been awake for about 3 hours pacing around the room dispute the residual pains from the birth of the egg. If memory served him correctly the egg would have lived within for 6 months and live 3-4 months in the egg outside of his body. Nail tried so hard to think about the baby or something as stupid as the weather outside the window but his thoughts came back to Piccolo.

"I need him" Nail muttered.

Nail ran outside not caring about his pain, he quickly dropped off their egg with Dende and left to find Piccolo. Just as Nail was about to leave the Lookout he saw a white cap. Nail knew that was Piccolo's white cape!

Piccolo approached him, his head hung and his eyes glued to the ground. Nail ran forward throwing his arms around the taller man. Nail kissed the top of Piccolo's head and held him at arm's length. Nail smiled and kissed Piccolo again, this time harder, more passionately. Their lips clashed as dozens upon dozens of sparks flying all around him.

"I love you" he said.

A very rare smile touched Piccolo's lips as he reached out his battered hand to Nail.

"I love you too" Piccolo said pulling Nail close to his body.

Nail smiled against Piccolo's shoulder and kissed him once more before looking to his lover's hands.

""Piccolo what the fuck happened to your hands?!"

"Got pissed at myself..." Piccolo muttered.

*#*#*#*

Nail took Piccolo's hand in his own and began slowly cleaning away the blood caked on his hands. Nail's hands were nimble and very gentle, quickly dabbing drops of wound cleaning cream upon his lover's wound. Nail could feel Piccolo was hurting but Piccolo refused to show any sighs of discomfort on his face. Nail gently kissed Piccolo's cheek and stroked his hands where he had just wrapped the bandages around.

"Where is the egg?" Piccolo questioned as Nail pulled him to the bed.

"Tenshen", Nail corrected before answering.

A light smile lit Piccolo's features as he fulled Nail close to his chest.

"Dende is watching him"

Piccolo caressed his lover's cheek with his freshly bandaged hand.

"You know I didn't mean to yell at you right?"

"Of course", Nail sighed before continuing "It's just that we don't know each other well enough to know when to back off, you know?"

"Of course I know" Piccolo said holding Nail's head, gently pressing his lips against Nail's forehead.

"I love you so much" Piccolo whispered as his arms wrapped tightly around Nail's slender waist.
