...
"Hey yo! [Y/n]!"
The familiar sounding voice made you turn, seeing Cheelai and Lemo at a nearby table as the green woman waved you over.
"Come and eat with us!" She cheered, obviously in a good mood since receiving her reward. You made your way over to them, grabbing a seat for yourself next to her as Lemo continued counting the strange pieces of currency.
"You're looking much better..." Cheelai commented, glancing at your new outfit as you actually took some time to observe the clothing yourself. You were wearing a uniform similar to hers, a flexible dark blue body suit with a smaller piece of white chest armor on top. Thankfully, Frieza's attendant had been able to alter the uniform slightly, making a spot for your tail to poke through comfortably...
"Thanks." You mumbled, glancing to the side briefly while seeing a few soldiers pointing your way.
"So where are your friends?"
"I'm not sure..." You admitted, truthfully feeling a bit lost without them. Despite his flaws, Paragus was like a father to you. Really the only role model either of you had since losing all contact with the rest of your race. And Broly...
It's so weird not having him right over my shoulder... You realized, placing your hands in your lap as the end of your tail started flipping around anxiously.
"Well, you can hang with us until they catch up..." Cheelai went on, smiling at you warmly as you began to relax. "Why don't you tell us a little about yourself while we wait?"
"Hmm, there's not much to tell..." You admitted, frowning slightly while trying to think of an appropriate way to answer her question. "I spent most of my life stranded on Vampa with Broly and Paragus... It's strange being without them."
"What about Broly?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you guys like, an item?" The green woman asked while wiggling her white eyebrows suggestively.
"An item?" You repeated in confusion, not understanding at all what the other woman was trying to ask you. You watched Cheelai shake her head before chuckling, about to explain it to you when a very tall, and clearly very drunk, man walked up to your table.
"Heyy... You must be new, aren'tcha?" He slurred, leaning down right next to your face as you could instantly smell the alcohol on his breath. You turned away in response, trying your best to ignore the man as Cheelai did the same.
"Tch, it can't be much fun hanging out with these puny losers. I'm the only warrior who's worth... This ship's worth spendin' time with..." He mumbled drunkenly, throwing his arm up and making a muscle as if to prove it. Some of the other soldiers in the cafeteria had started to watch the scene play out as the bigger man chuckled before moving a bit closer to you.
"Why don't you come sit with me sweet thing..." He purred, placing a hand on your shoulder as you jerked away.
"I'm not interested." You said firmly, glaring right at the man as the room became silent. You held your ground, remaining in your seat as you both gave each other death glares, waiting for whoever would back down first. Your tail was standing straight up behind you, the end of it fluffed out defensively as you watched the stranger make a sound of annoyance before turning towards Cheelai.
"How about you baby?" He tried, completely oblivious to the irritated glare the other woman was sending his way.
"Um, no."
"H-Heh, you heard 'em big guy..." Lemo chuckled nervously, getting up from his seat and walking towards the other soldier while trying to break up some of the tension. "How 'bout I buy ya a drink inste-"
"Stay outta this shorty!" The drunken man grumbled, shoving Lemo to the ground roughly as something inside of you clicked. Before you knew what was happening you were on top of the purple man, shoving him into the flooring as you landed a harsh punch to his jaw.
His eyes widened as he raised his arms to guard, bracing himself as another blow struck his chest, actually knocking the wind out of him temporarily as he wheezed.
"[Y/n]!" Cheelai's voice shouted, sounding far away as you were too high on adrenaline to properly observe your surroundings.
You screamed as a horrible pain surged through your body, rendering you completely helpless as the person gripping your tail yanked you upwards and off of your opponent. You kicked and fought desperately despite the pain, a few tears forming in your eyes as you nearly passed out while hanging there.
"You little bitch..." The man on the ground hissed, getting to his feet and glaring at you as Cheelai tried to come to your rescue.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" She shouted, banging her fist against the soldier restraining you as the doors to the mess hall suddenly opened.
Everyone in the room seemed to glance towards the newcomers as both men stopped, taking in the chaos in front of them with stunned expressions. Broly took one look at you dangling in some stranger's grasp before a look of pure rage crossed his features.
"[Y/N]!"
Quicker than you could blink you were on the floor, breathing heavily as you grabbed your tail and pulled it in front of yourself. Above you your attacker was choking as Broly had him by the throat, crushing the other fighter slowly as Paragus yelled.
"Broly! That's enough!"
"Rrgh... RAGHH!" Broly growled, his eyes flashing dangerously as you watched your friend slipping into one of his fits of rage.
"Broly! I-It's okay!" You tried, scrambling to your feet as the drunken man who'd initially started all this stepped back along with everyone else.
"Broly!"
Before you could attempt to calm him down, Paragus acted, pressing the large button on the remote as a lightning bolt of electricity shot through both fighters. Both men were knocked apart by the shock as Paragus held the button down, watching with emotionless eyes while his son was being tortured.
"RrraAGHHH!" Broly screamed, pulling at the shock collar uselessly as you watched in horror, unable to do anything to help.
It had always been this way while you were growing up on Vampa... Always wanting to say something about the cruel ways you were both trained and raised, but never being able to express those feelings since Paragus was the adult and you were the child. The older Saiyan had helped you both survive, yes... But his methods left much to be desired.
Paragus finally lifted his finger from the device as Broly collapsed, gasping and panting on the ground as you rushed to his side.
"Are you okay?" You asked, dropping to your knees before placing a hand on his shoulder.
He looked over at you instantly, the emotion behind his dark eyes hard to read as you both exchanged something wordless. Just knowing that you were both okay for the moment and back together again made you feel at ease as your tail moved automatically, making you wince as Broly seemed to notice. Before he could get too upset again, you scooted next to him, throwing an arm around his back and rubbing it lightly.
"[Y/n]! We're gone for minutes and you're already causing trouble!" Paragus grumbled, glaring down at you as you looked away, not happy yourself that you were the cause of Broly getting punished...
"You!" Cheelai growled, walking in front of you and marching right up to the older Saiyan before saying exactly what was on her mind. "Broly's your son! How could you do that to him?!"
"If I hadn't stopped him, he might have killed that buffoon." Paragus said, trying his best to keep his cool in the face of this infuriating woman.
"That's your fault! You're the one who raised him to be this way... And [Y/n] didn't do anything wrong!"
"Hmpf... We may be in your debt, but you don't know anything about us!" Paragus growled, crossing his arms as he glared towards you and Broly. "From now on, you don't come near my son... Or [Y/n]! I don't need you corrupting them..." He said angrily, not even noticing the gloved hand that had slipped in and out of his side pocket during his threats.
"Tch, fine." Cheelai hissed, turning away from the other man as the crowd that had been watching began to dissipate now that the drama was over...
"Excuse me, Paragus..." Berryblue spoke from the doorway, getting your attention as she glanced towards the Saiyan. "Lord Frieza would like an audience."
"It would be an honor. We'll go to him right away..." Paragus replied, nodding his head respectfully before turning towards the two of you.
"Broly, [Y/n]! Let's-"
"I'm afraid he only wishes to speak to you." Berryblue explained, cutting him off while enjoying the look of surprise on his face.
"O-Of course, yes... If that's what he wants." Paragus sighed, giving you and Broly a serious look before leaving. "I'll be right back so stay here and shut up." He ordered, making you frown as Cheelai growled.
"What a dick..."
"Used to think my old man was a jerk, but this guy's even worse!" Lemo added, shaking his head as his partner started laughing. "What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing, just... This!" Cheelai giggled, flashing you and Broly a bright smile while holding up the silver remote. You both looked at the stolen device in shock, not believing what you were seeing as Lemo chuckled, actually sounding a bit proud of her.
"You little thief!"
"You... Cheelai..." You mumbled, looking up at the other woman gratefully while vowing to find some way to pay her back. "Thank you..."
"Here's what I think about shock treatments..." She said with a grin, dropping the remote on the ground in front of you both before stomping it to pieces. "Now, who wants some treats?"
The green woman's eyes widened as you nearly tackled her, throwing your arms around her tiny frame while hugging her tightly. Just the thought of Broly being free of that collar was enough to make you jump for joy and you had your new friend to thank for it.
"Aw, [Y/n]... It's nothing..." Cheelai sighed, fighting back a few tears herself while imaging what a rough life the two of you must have had. She glanced over your shoulder at Broly who was quietly observing you both, his attention mostly on you she noticed as she immediately realized why.
"Come on," She said with a smirk, getting a devious idea while pulling back from the hug and throwing her arm around you. "I want to talk to you alone for a second [Y/n]..."
...
Somewhere else on the ship...
...
Cheelai and Lemo had taken you both to the soldier's quarters, all of you heading to Cheelai's bunk as she busted out her secret stash of ration bars. Broly made himself busy tossing said bars into his mouth one by one, making Lemo and you laugh as he went to grab the man a container of water.
"[Y/n]..." Cheelai whispered, putting her arm around your shoulders again and steering you towards the hallway. Thankfully, you had already assured Broly that you weren't going far, the man obviously concerned about you leaving again after what had just happened. Once outside her room, she turned to you, looking into your eyes seriously before speaking.
"You know Broly is in love with you, right?"
"In... Love?" You repeated the foreign words carefully, making the white haired soldier rolled her eyes at your confused expression.
"Yeah, I thought you might say that..." She sighed, shaking her head as you looked at her curiously. "I can't believe I have to explain this to you, but... Well..."
The other woman leaned towards your ear, whispering some information you'd never heard before as you listened. Your dark eyes got larger and larger as she continued, your mind absorbing everything she was saying as Lemo and Broly had their own meaningful conversation...
"I think that's the most innocent story I've heard around here in a long time..." Lemo sighed, smiling at Broly's explanation of all your years spent together. The older man couldn't help but smile at the gentle giant, happy he was getting a chance to see a less violent side of him.
"You can't seriously be that pure and naive though..." He chuckled, unable to believe that during all that time the man in front of him had never even thought of pursuing you in any way.
"[Y/n] is my friend... My good friend..." Broly continued, the corner of his mouth turning up at the thought of you.
"I promised a long time ago to keep her safe."
"I see." Lemo said, smirking to himself as he watched Broly down the entire thermos of water in a few gulps. Whether the man knew it or not, the older alien was sure his commitment to you went beyond a simple promise...
"So what will you guys do now?"
Broly stopped for a moment, never really thinking about his own desires since that was never an option. He remembered the hurt expression on your face when he'd walked in on that other soldier grabbing you, growing serious before looking down and staring at his lap while thinking of his answer.
Whatever happens... I'll make sure no one gets close enough to hurt [Y/n] again...
"..."
"Well don't worry about it too much..." Lemo said quickly, not wanting to stress the man out more than necessary. "You've got plenty of time to decide... Oh! There you are Cheelai!" The soldier rushed, spotting the two of you coming back into the room before glancing at the time on his scouter.
"You know we were supposed to be at our posts ten minutes ago!"
"Yeah, yeah..." Cheelai responded, not seeming worried at all as she grabbed her gun and placed it in the holster on her waist. "You guys can chill here for a little if you want..." She offered, winking at you and smiling at the blush still lingering on your cheeks. "We've got patrol duty... Come on Lemo."
"That's what I've been saying... Tch..."
Both soldiers stepped through the doorway, continuing to bicker with each other while leaving you and Broly truly alone. You took a seat on Cheelai's bed next to the Saiyan, deep in thought as you recalled what you'd both talked about just a few minutes ago.
I... I love Broly... You said to yourself, feeling a burst of excitement in your chest as you finally had words to match the way you'd felt all these years. I just hope he feels the same way...
"[Y/n]...?"
A familiar face was right in front of you, snapping you out of your trance as the dark pair of eyes within it seemed to stare directly into your soul. You jumped slightly as Broly's fingers brushed your tail, handling the bandaged area carefully while letting out a deep breath.
"I am sorry."
"Hmm? Why?" You asked, feeling the redness on your face getting worse as the closeness that used to be so routine for you both was suddenly very awkward.
"I wasn't there and you got hurt." Broly answered, becoming upset while just saying the words as he pulled you close before giving you a gentle hug. "It won't happen again." He promised, leaning into your dark locks while inhaling your wonderful scent.
"It's okay..." You whispered, hugging him back while making your own silent vow. Despite how content you were in this moment you pulled away, another relentless question tugging at your mind as you couldn't help yourself from asking it.
"Broly... Now what?"
"We wait for my dad to get back."
"I mean after that..." You pressed, hoping the man in front of you had some plans beyond always doing what his father asked of him. "I don't want to fight anymore."
"You don't have to... I said I would-"
"I don't want you to have to fight either!" You interrupted, feeling yourself getting frustrated as you tried to think of the best way to explain these new emotions. What you were about to say went against everything you knew, everything you were ever brought up to believe... You grew a bit of courage as you figured it was now or never, looking straight at the other Saiyan before speaking your mind.
"I... I want to be able to live in peace Broly. I want to be able to live that way... With you."
Before either of you could say another word, you took your new friends advice, doing exactly what she'd told you to do as you smashed your lips against Broly's, seeing his dark eyes widen in response for a fraction of a second before you let your own eyelids flutter shut. The kiss was a bit awkward as both of you seemed frozen to that spot, not sure of where to take things from here.
You pulled away finally, opening your eyes and seeing Broly still staring down at you but with a noticeable blush quickly becoming more and more apparent across his face. You leaned back, knowing all of this was probably a lot to take in at one time as you looked away, fighting the blush on your own cheeks while attempting to make the situation less embarrassing.
"S-Sorry... I just... Cheelai told me to-"
It was your turn to be surprised it seemed as Broly interrupted you, mimicking the interesting gesture he'd just learned as he pressed his lips against yours lightly. His muscular arms wrapped themselves around you instinctively as he pulled you closer, enjoying this new feeling as the two of you relaxed, relishing in the tranquility of the moment while you had the chance.
Little did either of you know, both of your lives were about to change forever...
...
A/N: As usual, this chapter got out of control so I had to break it into two parts...
