Frieza x Reader Pt. 20 'Queen Mother'

Author's Note: Spot the Mel Brooks reference. I was feeling goofy.

You slept in Frieza's quarters on the ship, of course, and when you woke the next morning found him already awake and watching you.

"Good morning."

"Have you been watching me sleep?"

Frieza chuckled as he stroked your face, "What if I have?"

"Some women might consider that creepy."

"Some women are into that sort of thing."

You couldn't help but smile. It felt more real now--waking up here, with him. It cemented that you weren't going back to that planet, that you were staying.

You headed into the bathroom to shower, and as you were brushing out your hair (and swearing that you would start using a relaxant if it didn't start behaving) you noticed something that had you wondering how you'd missed it during the shower, and lowered your arm to look at it better.

An ivory bracelet?

You turned your arm a bit to look at the stone and were immediately stunned by it. That it was some kind of diamond you knew, but you'd never even heard of them coming in purple. What was this? Was it a welcome-home present or something?

"Stunning, isn't it?"

Frieza had snuck up behind you and you jolted only slightly in place before asking, "Well, of course it is, but...what is it?"

"I'm not the kind of person to admit when I don't do well at something, (y/n)" he said suddenly, and you turned to face him, "...but when it comes to things that I've worked hard for, and have come close to losing several times..."

You didn't say anything.

"...I tend to want to be sure that I will not lose them again."

"And that..."

Frieza went on as if he hadn't even heard you. "You are mine, and it's going to stay that way."

"Then...what..."

He lifted your left hand, the one to which the bracelet was attached, to eye level. "Do you know what it means?"

"No. It's...beautiful, that's all I know about it."

"It's how the Arcosians propose marriage."

You lowered your head.

"You aren't going to be foolish and say no, are you? You've already wedded me by your customs...it would be rather pointless."

"Of course my answer's yes, but..."

"But what?"

"Your father can't be the only one who opposed this, who had the ability and inclination to do something about it."

"Let me worry about that."

"I can't. If this is going to happen, I can't just sit by while you do it all. That's what marriage is supposed to be about, right?" You'd come this far, and there was no turning back. The past would have to stay in the past--you couldn't just fly off the handle, not now, not after all that had happened. If he was giving you a place at his side there was no other course of action but to accept it.

"If you're so concerned about it, then I can always indulge you in a training regimen." He smirked.

"For which you will naturally make demands of your own."
