~Quite Peculiar~ Piccolo x Reader

Lies and Misunderstandings

(Y/n)'s POV

It took all of the energy in my body not to slap the man practically pinning me to the wall.

"If you didn't come to apologize, get the hell out," I snapped, crossing my arms.

There's an obvious height difference, but I stood my ground, my anger not letting me waver.

He stayed silent, slanting his eyes at me.

"You don't run anything."

I scoffed, rolling my eyes.

"Well, you're in my house. Last time I checked, I ran this place, and you, as long as you're here."

Piccolo grunted, backing away from me.

"You know what? I'm done."

He turned around, heading toward the door.

"That's it?" I demanded, reaching out to grab him by his gi.

Piccolo whirled around, catching my hand.

"Do I need to repeat myself? I'm not going to keep putting up with you."

His words stung for some reason, making me tense.

"So that's what this entire friendship was? A charity event?"

Piccolo paused, a dry laugh forcing itself from his lips.

"I only hung out with you because of Gohan. No other reason."

I yanked my hand back, biting my lip.

'The cafe..all of that stargazing..was for nothing..?'

"Go!"

Piccolo glared at me, his ears making a sharp but slight movement.

"That's what I was trying to do in the first place."

I tightly crossed my arms.

"Good. That's what you're best at."

I've never seen him move as quickly as he did after those words slipped.

His face was dangerously close to mine in a second, the man flashing me a snarl.

"Repeat what you said."

I raised my eyebrows, blowing some hair out of my eyes.

"With hearing that good, I'm sure you heard me the first time."

"This is all of your fault," he grumbled.

"My fault?!"

"Yes! If you would've told me right after-"

I shook my head, roughly pushing him back with a hand to his chest.

"No! I tried to find you after I was brutally stood up!" I shrieked.

He didn't say anything.

"For days I was searching for you, but you were nowhere to be found! You were obviously avoiding me!"

"You..were getting a gift from your boy-"

'There he goes with that dumbass excuse.'

"I already told you I don't have one! (Plant Name) was for you! I waited hours for you Piccolo. Hours just to give that plant to you, only for you to go and destroy it!"

He opened his mouth to speak, and I cut him off.

"Instead of talking about what you saw with me, you went off and made your own assumptions, utterly ignoring me in the process. What the hell, Piccolo?"

Piccolo's POV

I stood there silently for a moment, trying to process what they said, but apparently that wasn't the best option.

"What are you doing?"

They pushed me out of the cabin, my body weight not making it easy.

You can stay quiet out there. Come back when you find your common sense," (Y/n) fussed, slamming the door in my face.

"So..that went well."

I sighed heavily, not happy to hear Gohan behind me.

"What'd you hear?"

"Literally everything. You two could be heard from a mile south."

"Great."
