Dragon Ball Z Oneshots!

Piccolo X (Human!) Reader

This day had been a normal one for you, so far. Between waking up, eating what you can for breakfast, and now sitting at Capsule Corp, today fits into what you had been doing for the past few days. You did a little bit of weight work, trying to prepare yourself for the day ahead of you, before finding your way back to where you thought your friend Bulma would be.

You never really minded the fact that you only ate a few times a day, but it helped keep fit. Plus, in the life you live, you never really had an appetite throughout most of the day. But, occasionally, you would grab a bite to eat with some of the guys. Ever since you ran into Goku as a child, getting along with the girls has always been an issue. Your 'BFF promise' with Bulma was sort of broken awhile ago. Only because all you talked about was the guys, and she didn't really enjoy you praising their muscles and bodies and not her new outfit, hairstyle, or creation. One day, you decided to speak out to your long-lost best-friend-forever about a special someone that has been your mind for a long time, since the first time you met him.

"Hey Bulma?" You ask her as you hop up, sitting on the counter top of the lab she was working in. Your pants cause you to slightly slide as you lightly kick your feet.

"Yes, what is it (F/n)?" She asks in reply, though seemed focused on something else. Before her lay parts of the dragon ball radar. Bits of plastic and glass lay on a tray in front of her concentrated stare, almost as if she was looking for where to even start.

"Piccolo asked me to train with him yesterday." You lean back, resting back on your hands just inches before the counter meets a wall. "I've thought about it a lot, and, well, I don't know if I should say yes or no." Once again, your body slouches forward. Your hands find their way to your lap as your thumbs roll over each other almost comically. "He told me that he isn't an easy teacher, so what if I can't handle it? What if his training is too much for me and it puts me out of commission?"

"Hmm," Bulma tapped a pen on her chin while turning away from the small green-screened device. "I've never trained, not a day in my life in my life, so I don't really know what you want me to say." She pauses, turning to you with a stern expression on her face. "Actually, you should go and ask Goku. He's trained with him a dozen times before, and I've seen them two fight. Piccolo will be a strong and intense trainer, like he said, too. Did you know he trained Gohan when he was six? Right after we met that creep, Raditz." She says matter-of-factly. You nod in reply.

"Alright, if you say so." You push off the counter, your backside sliding off the smooth surface as your feet once again make contact with the floor. "Well, talk to you later, Bulma. I have to go find that husband of yours. I want to test myself, I've been meaning to for like a week now." You smile, sharing a quick laugh with the blue haired woman before she turns back to the small device in front of her, a small smile lingering on her face.

Once you leave her laboratory, you begin to ponder about Piccolo. What if he is really too much, or what if he is way too intense? This question begins to linger at the front of your mind while in search for the Saiyan Prince. Though, while wandering the halls in hopes of running into Vegeta, your aimless search brings you to Goku, instead. His figure leans in a doorway that leads to an infirmary. He turns and smiles his Goku-ish smile, and you return it, though with much less enthusiasm.

"Whatcha up to, (F/n)?" The tall Saiyan asks you childishly. Slightly, your smile falters for a second, before returning quickly.

"Looking for Vegeta, what about you?" Goku looks to you before sighing, then looking into the infirmary with a long look on his normally lit up face.

"Well, I don't think the guy is up for sparring right now." A small laugh escapes your mouth as your head tilts curiously.

"What do you mean?" Your voice says, sounding mildly concerned. A pained cry then comes from the infirmary door Goku was leaning in. He jumps, running into the room.
