Vegeta woke up with the smell of delicious food in the kitchen. Bulma really knows how to serve a prince. He was about to get up when he saw his wife who is still sleeping. Who the fuck is preparing the breakfast?

"Bulma, who's in the kitchen?"

Bulma opened her eyes and kissed his husband.

"Good morning, hun."

"Hn. Who's in the kitchen?"

"Huh?" Bulma looked at his husband, then that's when she smell the delicious food outside the room. "Oh! I think its Tights!" Bulma immediately left the room to check the kitchen. She saw Tights preparing their breakfast. Piccolo is with her, he is drinking orange juice with strawberry crepes.

"Good morning, Sis" Tights greeted without even looking at Bulma. She is frying eggs and bacon for breakfast. "How about eggs and bacon for breakfast? I also made some crepes. I prepared Trunks lunch, you can call Vegeta. Let's eat breakfast together."

Bulma is somehow suprised with her sisters sudden change of mood. Last month she's suicidal and depressed but today, she looks like nothing happened. Wait, did Piccolo slept here last night?

"Good...morning sis." Vegeta and Trunks entered the kitchen and they all eat breakfast. Bulma is still puzzled on why Tights is acting like nothing is wrong. Well, basically there is nothing wrong, but what she's wondering is what did Piccolo say...or do that changed her mood.

"Did you sleep here last night?" Vegeta asked the namekian. He's obviously teasing Piccolo.

"Yeah, he did." Tights said answering the question for Piccolo. "Piccolo, why don't you try this tuna grilled? It's delicious."

Tights put the tuna in Piccolo's plate. Vegeta asked for his part.

"I'm sorry Vegeta, I've only grilled one tuna belly. I can make another one for you."

Vegeta glared at the blonde taking all the bacon left and put it all in his mouth. Piccolo can't help but laughed at Vegeta's reaction.

"I promise, I'll cook one for you" after their breakfast Vegeta went to the gravity room with Piccolo. Trunks stay in his room to play video games.

"So, what happened?" Bulma asked Tights while they are drinking tea on the garden of the Brief's mansion. "You and Piccolo, huh."

"Yeah."

"So...you're together now?"

"Actually no, we're just friends. He just made me realize last night that I deserve to be happy after what James did to me. He's a very good friend you know. Thank you for introducing him to me."

"No worries, Tights. Piccolo is a good man, a good friend and a protector. But serioulsy, no romance going on? I think you and Piccolo look good together, Sis." Bulma said teasing her sister.

"Piccolo deserved more than that."

"I don't get it. Why do you say so?"

"I'm still broken, Bulma. Its 10 years of my life that was lost, taken from me. I don't even know if I can love again. If I'm going to start a relationship with Piccolo, I have to be whole again. He don't deserve someone who is still broken in pieces."

That night, Piccolo stayed in the brief's mansion for dinner. As promised, Tights grilled tuna belly for Vegeta. After their peaceful and delicious dinner, Piccolo said his goodbyes.

"I'll go now, thank you for the food." Tights accompany him to the gates.

"Are you sure, you don't want to stay for the night? We have the guest room available for you. I know that you're staying in the forest because Gohan is sharing the bedroom with Goten now. You can always stay with us."

"I'm okay. Don't think about me."

Piccolo walked away and Tights finally closed the gates. Its already 10:00 in the evening, Tights woke up with a sound of thunder and lightning. She looked outside her windows, looks like it is going to rain. Piccolo, she thought. If its going to rain, where is he going to stay? Tights put in her robe, she will go to the forest to get Piccolo before the heavy rain pour. She got in her car and drove to the forest. Its actually very dark and she feels nervous about going inside the forest. Sound of owls and crickets welcome her inside. When she got out of her car, two men welcomes her.

"So miss, what are you doing here? On the outskirts of the forest? Are you a goddess or something?" obviously they are drunk, Tights can smell the alcohol.

Tights ignore them and continue her way towards the forest.

"We're talking to you, miss!" The man grabbed her arms. "Are you deaf?"

"Fuck you." Tights said, trying to push the man away. The other one touch her legs, moving his hand slowly until it reach her inner tighs. "Stop it! You jerks! Piccolo! Piccolo!" Tights shouted, nervousness eating her up. Please Piccolo, help me. The man who is holding her arms asked her to shut up.

"Who's Piccolo? Your boyfriend?! Haha, I'm your boyfriend tonight, miss. So, shut up!"

"You're the one who needs to shut up." a familiar voice said, in just a minute the rapists were gone. Piccolo hang them on the trees, he could've killed them but he just choose to hang them on the tallest tree in the forest, he does not want to mark his hand dirty with the blood of those monsters.

Tights hugged him tight, sobbing and saying her thank you's.

"What are you doing here? Its already midnight Tights?! What are you thinking? They could've...what if I'm not here? Huh? Tell me!"

"I'm sorry, its just that its going to rain, I don't want you to stay on the forest while its raining. I'm sorry, Piccolo."

"I told you not to think about me. I'm okay. Now, stop crying. I hate it when you cry."

Piccolo volunteered to drive. When they arrived, the mansion is still quiet, Bulma and her family is still asleep. Piccolo walked with Tights towards her room. They havent uttered a single word from the forest until they are inside the mansion. Piccolo is still upset, Tights on the other hand is still scared.

"Stay with me." Tights said, the rain is still pouring accompanied by lightning and thunder. "Its raining, and...I'm scared...Its the first time that ive experienced that...they touch my body, everywhere...I'm so scared." she whispered, tears are forming in her eyes.

"Do you trust me?"

"What?" Tights is somehow suprised with his question.

"Of course, I do. Why are you asking me that? I trust you. I really do, that's why I'm asking you to stay with me. What's with the ques-"

Before Tights can continue, Piccolo kissed her lips. Tights pulled him closer, both lost in the lips of one another. She opened the door and Piccolo closed it without removing his lips. How he did that? She dont have any idea.
