I want to own two chocolate bars, but I don't own any, sadly. Just like DBZ :(



The Namek and his attachments


The large green Namek and the little redhead sat peacefully by the fire. Except for the fact Piccolo was cursing at the fire, the weather and humans. Insulting humans was his favorite hobby. Needless to say, Nova felt attacked every time he brought up the subject. After 10 times of getting mad at Piccolo for telling her that she was a weak, stupid human, she just learned to ignore it. She occasionally scolded at him that he was grumpy and moody and then left it alone.


She was now a week in his presence. He could barely admit that he liked her in his part of the woods. She was tolerable and a little mysterious. She wouldn't tell him how she ended up wounded in that certain bush. She also wouldn't tell him what she was so afraid of. A couple times a day she scanned the area around her and reacted startled at unexpected sounds. Piccolo couldn't stand it that she was holding back information. And above all, he wasn't used to stupid weak humans who didn't obey his commends. She was a little too defying for his liking. The green Namek smirked inwardly. She was a challenge.


Nova winced while getting up and immediately sat down again.


'Humans and their weak body's' Piccolo snorted.


The redhead growled and rubbed her back where she had a large black bruise, that was beginning to turn yellow.


There was a long silence between the newly two friends.


'Where do you come from Piccolo?'


'None of your business'


Nova frowned again. 'Why won't you tell me?!'


'I already told you. It's none of your business!' Piccolo gritted his teeth. Why was she meddling in his affairs?


The redhead changed her tactic in an instant and looked at him with large brown eyes that silently begged her to give her what she wanted. Piccolo tried to avoid those brown beads, immediately feeling a touch of slight discomfort.


'What did I do that resulted in you not trusting me?'


'I never trusted you in the first place'


A little muscle twitched on her throat. He could see she was getting irritated, but that she was holding back her temper.


'Please Picci! I want to know something about my savior!' She had quickly shifted to a whiny tone.


Piccolo rolled his eyes. Why was she calling him 'Picci'? Was this the punishment for saving her? Was this his punishment for all those kills? Was she going to insist on staying with him longer? Why did she feel safe around him, while he was a Demon King? A monster? Was she the answer to his loneliness?


The confused Namek tried to shook off all these questions. He sighed.


I'm an incarnation of The Great Demon King on this earth. But originally I come from the planet Namek.'


'What does your planet look like?' Her eyes darted fascinated over his features.


'Green'.


'What does your species look like in general? Like you?'


'Yes'. He grunted. He didn't know why he was answering her questions.


'Also green?'


'Yes'.


'A lot of green then..'


Piccolo frowned his eyebrows in agitation. She was mocking him.


There was a small silence.


Nova pressed her hands against her mouth. She was clearly trying not to laugh. She was making fun of him. Piccolo looked at her in pure anger. If glares could kill, she would have been blown into hundreds of tiny pieces.. His energy was rising. The girl almost choked in her own suppressed snorts. She muttered her apology while hiding her remaining fun inwardly.


Piccolo stood up roughly and headed for his cave. He had enough of this. Nova walked shortly behind, franticly looking around. The green Namek turned around abruptly. While scanning the area around her, she suddenly slammed into a green brick wall. Two endless pitch black eyes stared down at her. Piccolo, with his highly developed sight noticed a faint shade of pink appearing on her cheekbones.


'Why are you always looking around?' The alien sternly demanded.


'I..I..can't tell you' She refused him to show the sad look on her face.


'Nonsense!'


'I..I'm just not ready to tell anyone yet!' She sighed heavily. Piccolo decided to leave it alone. He could tell by her body language that she was sad and that she was hiding her vulnerability by avoiding his eyes. He didn't know how to deal with that kind of emotion.


He turned around to settle in his cave. Nova tried to find a less painful position while she was attempting to fall asleep under a couple of blankets.


Piccolo couldn't sleep either. Two meters away a little girl was audibly shivering. When piccolo looked at her face in the dark he could slightly see that her lips had turned blue. She was suffering from hypothermia he concluded. The Namek mentally scolded himself for what he was about to say.


The green Namek sighed again. 'Come here'. He ordered with a semi soft voice.


Nova climbed instantly on top of him, welcoming the warmth. She positioned her head on his chest. The green alien was shocked. He hadn't expected her to be so eager. She felt as light as a feather on top of him. He flared his ki a little to rise the temperature around them. Piccolo remained still. After ten minutes an almost inaudible snoring emerged from the throat of the little human. The green Namek closed his eyes. He strangely felt content at this moment. 'What the fuck was going on?' He decided not to think about it as he was dozing off.

...


The next morning Piccolo woke up alone. He had slept extremely well last night. He strechted and flexed his muscles. He felt that the temperature was tolerable for humans again. This forest could have extremely cold night and hot days. It was nothing new to him. He looked around. Remains of food and empty packages were scattered around him. That damn girl was polluting his cave. He sat up and headed for the stream to drink his morning water and perhaps a jump into the waterfall. With his highly advanced hearing he picked up a humming sound and something that looked like splashing water. She was probably washing herself. That meant she was... naked. The green Namek froze. He hastily flew back to his cave. An early morning meditation would help him to clear his mind maybe...

Nova came back with wet hair and a cup of fresh water from the stream. She rudely interrupted his meditation by screaming his name.


'Piccolooooo! I've brought something for you! You missed your morning drink!'


The green Namek muttered something incoherently while snatching the cup from her hands.


'Go clean the cave and free it of your disgusting pollution'.


To his surprise Nova didn't fight it over with him.


'Yeah, I guess it's a little messy in there' She blushed and turned around to tidy 'their' cave.


Piccolo was lost for words. He drank his water in one gulp and tried to decipher the unpredictable behavior of the human female during his meditation. Needless to day, he failed this mission impossible.


That night Nova climbed on top of him again. Piccolo didn't say anything, nor did he move. Her cold cheek touched his warmth radiating chest. She almost immediately fell asleep. His eyes widened when the little girl snaked her arms around his torso and she mumbled his name softly. He could feel her small slender body pressed into him. It made him feel strange. He couldn't place it. Al these foreign feelings an behaviors confused himself to no end. He decided to give in to it for once. And soon the Namekian warrior fell into a steady slumber.

...


A couple of days later, two beings from two different worlds were staring into orange licking flames. It was getting late in the evening and the fire wasn´t radiating enough heat to warm the human body. Nova was shivering a meter away from Piccolo. In an impulse, piccolo grabbed her by the waste and placed her on his lap. Nova pressed her back into his chest thankfully. Her reaction relieved him. He was afraid he had done something idiotic. The green warrior did not dare to snake his ams around her. But he wanted to. A little. He flared his ki a little to increase the temperature around his body. The redhead looked amazed at the faint flames that were licking the air around them.


He was growing fond of Nova and he knew it in the back of his head. He also knew deep down he wasn´t ready to fully admit it to himself yet. And above all, to her. First of all he had to accept his feelings towards her. It had been hard admitting the friendship between him and Gohan too. He remembered the first time he had acknowledged that he had grown soft just like Vegeta over the years.


Flashback

Piccolo was standing in a crater looking for Vegeta´s remains after he had scarified himself. He then spotted a very scattered Buu. The force of Vegeta´s final blast had blown him into little pink pieces. A train of thoughts flowed into his brain after he had found what appeared to be the last smudges of Buu.

´There's Buu. Or what's left of him. He has been blown into a thousand peaces. Now I understand. Buu would simply regenerate if he would be damaged in the normal way. So you had to make an attack powerful enough to blow him to bits. Well you did it Vegeta. It worked. Your sacrifice wasn´t in vain. I walked through that door before. I know it´s not easy. Especially for a selfish guy like you. I was just like you once. Until Gohan´s love changed me. I know you were changed too. I know what courage it took to do what you did. Good bey my friend.´


End of Flashback


He remembered what Gohan´s love had caused. When Nappa was firing a beam at the little demi saiyin, he had thrown himself in front of Gohan. Having attachments weren´t very beneficial during battles he noted. But what his former pupil had done to him was worth the struggle. He was less bittered than he´d used to be. He found more peace with himself. He also lost the urge to kill. Yes. It was a change.


Piccolo sighed. Attachments and the emotions flowing out of those bonds were complicated for the alien warrior. What he felt for Nova was different from what he felt for his pupil. He couldn´t place it. He liked having body contact with her. He felt drawn to her. He also thought she was a beautiful creature. He continued to analyze the feelings he had for his only two friends.


He looked down at the little human on his lap. He could see the long red strings of hair sprout from her small head. Her slender figure was leaning into him in a relaxed manner. Her body structure was getting more appealing to him everyday. If he recalled his ´anatomy examination´ he could feel a strange feeling in his loins. He didn´t know what exactly this feeling was.


She tilted her head to look at the admiring Namek with her big brown sparkling eyes. He especially liked those brown depths. He could read a lot of emotions in those windows to the soul, while her face remained unchanged. He could blatantly stare in them, longer than necessary. He gave her a sly smile. It took a couple of seconds before she gently smiled back and turned her head to stare into the fire again.


Piccolo´s doubts surfaced in his mind again. Why was she so relaxed while sitting on the lap of a monster? A taker from many lives. In soul and body a stranger and a deviated creature compared to human beings. He couldn't believe she returned all those foreign feelings he had towards her, except a little friendship maybe. He just couldn´t comprehend it all.


'I want it to be like this forever. I've never felt safer in my entire life'. She sighed and closed her eyes. 'I'm having some wonderful and careless times with you Piccolo'. She squeezed his knee softly.


All the self conscious thoughts fled from his mind when Nova spoke those significant words to him.


It was the perfect moment. The green warrior closed his eyes to enjoy it. He reluctantly placed his large rough hand over her small and pink hand. He mentally noted to find a way to gather information about human attachments tomorrow.


A/N: Well, what do you think of it so far? It was hard to write this chapter. Next chapter there will be lime and lemon action!
