A/N: A few people wanted a Part 2 to this story, so here it is! A little bit extra for Krillin and our sweet reader... Hope you guys like it^^

...

You clipped one of your favorite pins into your hair while glancing at the mirror in front of you, silently observing yourself while hoping you looked extra special today. I hope Krillin likes it... Your inner voice spoke, blushing slightly while thinking about said fighter. Ah! I better hurry though! I don't want to keep him waiting...

After your initial encounter with Krillin, the man had walked to you to and from class everyday, making your bullies back off instantly. That didn't stop them from shooting you jealous glances here and there however, or from spreading nasty rumors now that they couldn't hurt you physically.

At least I've been lucky enough to make a true friend... You thought to yourself, truly thankful for his kindess. You stepped through the shelters doorway, instantly greeted with a soft breeze and a few gentle rays of sunlight once outside. It was almost as if the storm you'd been experiencing internally was finally starting to fade, finally starting to let up and allow room for new growth now that the sun had it's chance to shine...

"Hey, [Y/N]!" A familiar voice called, getting your attention quickly as you noticed Krillin waiting on a large rock nearby. He sent you a little wave before jumping up excitedly, heading your way while grinning. "You look really nice today!" The man admitted, taking in your adorable appearance while the tiniest blush began to form on his cheeks.

"Thank you, so do you..." You replied shyly, fighting with the butterflies in your chest while attempting to maintain a normal conversation. "I'm glad I don't have any classes today..." You went on, already getting overwhelmed with tests and final projects now that the semester was close to ending. "It's nice to finally get a little break."

"Well, you definitely deserve one," Krillin's unique voice said, glancing your way for a second as the two of you began to walk. "You've had to deal with a lot more stress than the average person, but you didn't let it stop you from accomplishing your goal... Honestly, I-I'm really impressed [Y/N]." He finished quickly, focusing intently on the path ahead while deliberately trying to avoid your gaze...

The smile on your face was one of genuine happiness as you walked next to the fighter, floating along happily as his words replayed themselves in your mind. You were definitely proud of yourself for your accomplishments, but hearing Krillin praise you for your efforts was wonderful in its own way. He's an actual hero... I can't believe he thinks anything I'm doing is impressive... You thought, willing your mind back to reality as you glanced his way.

"Thank you Krillin, I- Oh!" You gasped as your hand bumped into Krillin's, the sensation startling you for a moment as realized you'd apparently gotten a little too close while walking. "S-Sorry about that!" You giggled, moving your hand back slightly before a larger one stopped you.

"H-Heh, don't worry about it," Krillin answered while covering your smaller hand with his own, glancing over at you with a nervous smile while you blushed back. "You don't wanna get lost like last time, right? Just a precaution..." He teased, attempting to play it cool as both of you headed closer the woods where you'd first met.

You nodded in response, your heart beating like crazy as his warm hand held onto yours gently, your own fingers squeezing his back as you walked in silence. A few birds in the distance began to tweet their songs as leaves fell, scattering and being swept up randomly, but in an almost magical way. Maybe it was just how you were seeing things lately, now that your eyes could view the world through a more optimistic lense...

Thank you Krillin... You thought while smiling, hoping that one day he'd know how truly grateful you were. Thank you for seeing the real me...
