(Two Boys Kissing) PiccoNail, gimme more MEAN AND GREEN 😳
Piccolo glared up at Nail from his position on the floor. “Shut it.”
Nail knelt next to him, eyes twinkling. “Deny it all you want, this is still the most precious thing I’ve ever seen.” Piccolo growled under his breath and Nail chuckled, leaning forward to put a hand on Piccolo’s cheek. “She looks comfortable.”
Sighing, Piccolo leaned into Nail’s touch and closed his eyes. “It took two hours to get her to sleep.” His hand ran absently through Pan’s hair as the toddler slept curled up in Piccolo’s lap. “She wanted to stay up late because her parents are out for the night.”
“Kids,” Nail chuckled, inching closer. “Want to put her to bed? Gohan and Videl will be home soon, and I’m sure they’d appreciate their daughter being asleep where she’s supposed to be when they get here.”
Piccolo shrugged. “I guess. I’m afraid I’ll wake her up if I move her.” Nail reached for her, gently lifting her from Piccolo’s lap. Piccolo opened his eyes and watched Nail hold his honourary granddaughter like she was made of glass. “Here.” He stood up and held out his hands. “Let me do it.”
Nail shook his head. “No, I’m fine. I just always forget how small and helpless human children are, that’s all.” He smiled at Piccolo and brushed their shoulders together as he walked by. “Be right back.”
Piccolo watched Nail leave, then stood in the middle of the room awkwardly. He glanced towards the long-discarded weighted training gear in a corner of the room and debated putting it back on. He’d taken it off so he didn’t accidentally hurt Pan with it when he was playing with her, but now that she was going to bed maybe he should put them back on.
Arms wrapped around his chest from behind and he shook his head. Or maybe he shouldn’t bother. “She’s still asleep?” he asked.
“Mm.” Nail rested his chin on Piccolo’s shoulder. “Out like a light. So, got a thank-you for your co-babysitter?”
Piccolo twisted to shoot Nail an incredulous look. “Asleep or no, Pan’s still in the other room. And Gohan and Videl will be home any minute. You can’t wait until we get back to the Lookout?”
“I never asked for anything big.” Nail grinned and slipped around to Piccolo’s front. “Come on, love. Give us a kiss.”
He knew Piccolo liked being called ‘love’ and he was using it to his advantage, and Piccolo knew it. Sighing, he leaned forward and wrapped their antennae together. Fuck you, he told him.
Mm, Nail said, squeezing tighter, now that can wait until we’re back at the Lookout.
The door opened and Piccolo’s eyes snapped open, stumbling back from Nail. Videl stood wide-eyed in the doorway, a hand over her mouth, Gohan behind her and looking vaguely embarrassed. “H-hey,” Gohan said. He licked his lips and looked away. “Where’s Pan?”
“Sleeping,” Nail assured him. “How was your date night?”
“Fine,” Videl said distantly, still staring at the two of them. She shook it off and smiled at them. “Thanks for looking after her.”
Piccolo shrugged, looking at the ground. He was embarrassed. He hated having people see him showing Nail physical affection, even if it was something as simple as kissing. It wasn’t like Gohan and Videl cared that they were in a relationship--both of them had bigger problems than two masculine aliens kissing. It was more that he wasn’t used to displaying affection yet, so having anyone else see it was weird and uncomfortable.
“Anytime,” Nail assured them, grabbing Piccolo’s hand and squeezing it. “Well, we’ll get going, then. Have a good night.” He tugged Piccolo out the door and into the sky.
“Slow down,” Piccolo said, tugging his hand away and flying up beside Nail. “The night’s not going anywhere.”
Nail zipped in front of him and stopped, Piccolo stopping just before he’d crash into him. Nail’s arms went around Piccolo’s neck and his antennae wrapped around Piccolo’s again. Come on, love, he said, give us a kiss.
