A messy doodle of Cui shirtless, because I say so!
I got mad that my ink pen ran outta ink, crumpled up the drawing, located an actual working pen, then decided to just finish this mess. He's drying out his blow hole thingy, guess he just took a shower or finished training. I just wanted an excuse to draw Cui shirtless.
(re-uploaded due to me saying an unruly word that described his head shape. I think my post got censored or something 😅)
I’m glad to see you’re still active on your blog! If it’s okay may I request headcanons about what would a relationship be like with Cui and how did he confess to his crush?
Omg you just reminded me of my big ol crush when that man came on screen 💀. He may of died in the next few seconds but my love lasted at least until Zarbon appeared. Just because of this ask I’m adding Cui to the list 👌.
🌸But here you go! It’s been a long while since I’ve seen Cui and I don’t think there’s much on this dude but this is my take on his personality and how he would deal with having feelings for someone. Reader is gender neutral if that’s okay!🌸

Cui x GN! Reader
What Cui’s like(imo):
• I personally find him to be a bit on the hotheaded and overconfident side.
• I mean, he tried to face off Vegeta, let alone settle some score with him without a doubt that he could beat him.
• (it could be that he can just easily contest with Vegeta, but I like the idea that these are two ego powerhouses, that have had a history of clashing with one another.)
• And speaking of ego, his is HUGE.
• However, he’s definitely more bark than bite. The moment he saw how powerful Vegeta really was, he was reduced to cowardice and desperation.
• You probably have to be that way anyways on the Frieza Force or you won’t make it, so I don’t entirely blame him if the whole tough, egotistical guy is some façade.
When he realizes he’s got it bad:
• Oh he’s a mess.
• I mean, he can probably pull just about anyone he wants because it isn’t anything serious. He’s still riding that ego of his cause he’s more in love with that image of himself than something real.
• But here you are, something so real, and something he finds himself to be falling much harder for.
• He probably doesn’t handle it too well. If you were friends he might just avoid you for a bit until you confront him about it. But, even then he would deny anything being wrong.
• But you know for a fact something’s up when he starts being distant or even a bit cold as opposed to his usual self around you.
• You may have to beat it out of him honestly. It’ll be hard and he won’t admit anything for a while.
• If he didn’t know you, he would try to. He’d do his usual routine when pursuing someone he was interested in, but it would just fail horribly and he’d get embarrassed, and probably just make himself look worse and worse the more he tried to cover it up, or play it off.
• But you probably find it cute and dorky, or concerned and think he needs to see a doctor.
How’d he confess if you were friends:
• Oh he will be such a pain to finally be out with what he’s holding back, that big head of his can only hold so many repressed emotions, but they will come out eventually, but knowing his type it probably won’t come out in a healthy non-toxic way.
• He knows he’s being cold, so he tries to shake himself out of it and invites you to go to a party with him, just hang out like old times.
• He was almost afraid you’d refuse to go with how he’s been acting towards you lately, but so happy when you accept.
• When you get there, you start drinking, dancing, chatting, or just chilling in a quieter corner to talk.
• He’s like his old self again finally, but you know something’s still up. However, you don’t want to possibly ruin this night by bringing it back up. You’re just happy he’s back to normal.
• You talking about whatever, just enjoying hanging out. However, Cui’s eyes aren’t the only ones on you as you do end up dealing with one other guy intrigued by you.
• The guy might have been drunk, or just an idiot. Because despite you turning down his advances and just trying to get back to the conversation you were having with Cui, he wasn’t backing off.
• If anything the guy was getting more pushy, even annoyed that you were ignoring him.
• He wasn’t the only one as Cui’s hand was increasingly clenching more and more around his drink. You eyeballed him a bit and were about to ask him if you two could just move to another spot and lose this guy, but the idiot grabbed your arm.
• And that was it for him.
• Remember when I said Cui’s feelings would probably only surface in an unhealthy, non-toxic way? Yeah, it definitely surfaces here.
• Jealousy, and pure anger.
• How dare this guy just ruin your fun? Your smile? Ignore your obvious disinterest, let alone touch you?
• When he put his hands on you all Cui saw was red, and his arm moved before his mind could as he shoved his drink right into the face of the guy before tackling him to the floor.
• “They told you to back off loser! Can’t you hear?!”
• You tried to pull Cui off of him but his mind was in another plane of existence at the moment, and you could not reach it.
• Some other people had to pull him off of the guy before throwing Cui out because they were sure he’d kill him.
• Once outside, he was slowly coming down from high as you tried to talk to him.
• He was back to that cold attitude as he refused to answer any questions you may have had, but oh boy you weren’t letting him for the hook now.
• He tried to walk away but you just stood right in front of him and demanded that he told you what the hell was going on and why he was acting like such an asshole.
• Silence. He doesn’t answer for a moment, but you can see that coldness to him fade away until you see something almost alien to Cui.
• Fear, he’s afraid. But of what?
• “Cui? What’s wrong?” You’re much softer with him, a softness he’s not use to, but it’s one of the things he loves the most about you.
• “I can’t tell you.” Is what he responded with, but when he saw that you were about to go back to your angry tone, which you had a right to, he rephrased.
• “I- don’t know how to. I’m- afraid to.”
• Now you were just worried. Cui? Admitting he was afraid? Something must terribly be wrong.
• “Cui, you can tell me anything. I’m not going to judge you. Look, I’m here for you, for whatever you need of me. If you’re in trouble I can help you.”
• “It’s not that- fuck… how do I say this?” Cui said getting frustrated with himself, why is it so hard to tell you? He finally just took a deep breath.
• “I like you.”
• He couldn’t meet you eyes when he said it, and when you didn’t immediately speak, he continued.
“I do. And- I know. I’ve been a real shithead to you lately, but that’s why. Because I- like you. You don’t have to say anything, you don’t even have to stick around. Especially with how I’ve been acting, I wouldn’t blame you. But- It’s out there. I’ve said it.”
• You went quiet for a few moment longer, which only made the heartbeat in his ears louder, but finally you spoke.
• “I like you too.”
• Now he was just staring at you. Shocked. That was the last thing he expected to hear from you.
• “You what?”
• “I like you, you dumbass. Was it not obvious?”
• It was, he’s just as you said, a dumbass.
• He just stared at you some more before you sighed.
• “I like you, yes. But I mean you, Cui. Not that stuck up asshole that beats drunks up on the floor for speaking to me. I can do that myself. But, if there’s something here for us, you’ll need to learn never to do something like that again. And anytime you need to talk, or you have something bothering you, talk to me. Please. Don’t just shut me out like you did, cause nothing could hurt more.”
• He’s hurt you? Shit… Shit-
• “I’m- so sorry. I never meant to hurt you- I swear, it won’t happen again. I don’t want to ever hurt you.”
• He can be real sweet with you really, but do make sure he cleans up his act a bit. Having violent, jealous outbursts in your name isn’t sexy and you deserve better love.
• Just get him some healthy therapeutic habits to deal with his emotions, and talk things out with him when he needs it.
What being in a relationship is like:
• I bet it’s quite lovely. He’s always trying to impress you, even if you’re in public.
• Oh- and he’s very open about your relationship. He makes sure people know you are together, he practically brags about it at times.
• He just really loves you and is happy he managed to pull you, also, doesn’t want a situation like at the party happening again. He wants to make sure people know you’re his and he is yours, and if they somehow miss that, he’ll let you handle it.
• Probably shows off in training matches when you’re around. Doing so much more uneeded flexing of his muscles or skills.
• I bet he wins most of his fight but if there’s times he really fumbles, he’s gonna be a bit grumbly for the rest of the day. Just try to give him some reassurance and he’ll be okay. Any bit of praise will get him back on track, and he absolutely lives for your praise.
• He’s probably not good at giving gifts.
• Like, he can get them if he see something that makes him really think of you, but he gets so flustered when he tries to give it to you.
• Probably just gives to you before trying to get away or leaves gifts when you’re not around. Just make sure to track him down and give him some smooches. He’s not getting away that easily.
• He can probably be a bit clingy.
• Not in an annoying or toxic way. He just loves being around you. Whether it’s just casually hanging out and chatting, doing nothing but enjoying one another’s presence, cuddling on the couch or in bed, or just walking around. He’s just glued to your side.
• Of course, if you need space he will give it to you for as long as you need, he understands boundaries.
• He’s probably a good kisser.
• There are a lot of times when he’s flustered around you, mainly when cutesy feelings or actions ate involved, but there are times when he can be quite bold.
• He’ll just pin you to a wall to kiss you and you’ll wonder what happened to the guy that was fumbling over his words just to give you a bouquet of flowers just minutes ago.
• VERY PROTECTIVE.
• Maybe even a bit possessive, but sometimes a little possessiveness is nice. Just make sure he doesn’t go crazy with it. As long as he isn’t glaring or trying to start something with any person that comes in close contact with you, it’s okay. Again babe, don’t settle for over-possessive and jealous men you deserve better. Get you a healthy partner.
• He won’t fight your battles for you, he learned his lesson on that. But, if you want a teammate, he’s your man. You can kick ass together.
• He loves taking you out to dinner or just to hang out. Whether it’s to go see a movie or at your favourite restaurant. He also just loves staying at home with you. However, I bet this man does NOT know how to cook.
• But I bet that doesn’t stop him from trying when you two are hanging out at either yours or his place.
• If you can cook, please take over for him before he burns the whole kitchen down. Or at least supervise him and teach him.
• If neither of you can cook honestly he’ll be happy and not as embarrassed when the food he was cooking had been reduced to a burning pile of coal. Safe to say you two may just have take-out most home date nights.
• Loves it when he gets to stay the night at your place or when you stay at his. He just loves getting to sleep with you in his arms and waking up with you there.
• Speaking up, he’s definitely the big spoon. But likes being the little spoon at times when you managed to somehow convince him. He just won’t admit it. Cheeky bastard.
• Might get up early some mornings to cook you breakfast but again- he can’t cook. You’ll probably awake with a heart attack thinking somethings on fire or you’re having a stroke, but no, Cui somehow managed to not only burn toast, but set the toaster on fire.
• “Uh- morning babe.”
• “Cui, how the fuck-”
• Overall I think a relationship with him will be surprisingly tender, when it’s just those sweet moments when you two are alone. Or the more “Cui please shut up-” moments when he’s showing you off like the greatest prize he’s ever won to everyone. If the opportunity arises I bet he’d even brag about it to Lord Frieza. In a subtle way at least, he doesn’t want to lose his head, and plus he doesn’t like the guy.
Another piece I let rot in my art folder for a while now of this odd couple and I was going to originally draw Vegeta but uh...he's short. Bonus points if anyone can translate what the shirt says.
I honestly want to draw more of these two together because of how ridiculous I have planned out their relationship together, and I especially want to add this scene in my fic whenever I finally get to that point.
