8 Chap 8

(A/N: warning! not lewd but maybe a bit mushy between Raditz and Bulma. More to come. If not your thing maybe think about stopping here. Don't say I didn't warn you)

15 minutes and a short flight later I'm standing, nervously, in front of the main yellow domed building of Capsule Corp.

I take a deep breath before ringing the door bell beside the door. Shortly after the door opens and standing before me is a short grey headed man with a huge mustache, wearing glasses and a white lab coat.

"My you are a big one huh?" He says looking at me and my 6'2" height and long spiky hair. "You must be Goku's brother, Bulma said you may show up. Let me call her for you." He says headed to the intercom system on the wall.

"Thank you Mr. Briefs. It's truly an honor to meet the founder of Capsule Corp and the father of the genius Bulma."

"Hehe, think nothing of it my boy... Uh Bulma dear, your friend Radish is here!"

"Dad!! his name is Raditz! Ugh I'm on my way!" Bulma yells back over the intercom.

"Hehe, good we'll be waiting and chatting... Sorry about that, embarrassing your children is one of the greatest joys in life. That's a father's primary job in life after all, heeheehee." Mr. Briefs says laughing heartily.

"HAHAHA, I believe you sir, and thank you again for having me." I state laughing along with the silly old genius.

"Dad! Where is he?" Bulma rushes right past, not noticing me at all. 'Such a cute girl!'. "Raditz! What happened to your eyes?? They're golden! And your hair is standing on end. Did you get electrocuted?!" Bulma asks as she's checking on my health. 'Cant say I hate having her touch me, hehe.'

"Well its a long story, but I must apologize. Your bandanna came off during training and I couldn't do what you did to get it this mess back under control. I've taken care of the gift you gave me though I've been wearing it around my arm." I say as I point to the blue folded bandanna wrapped around my bicep.

"That's okay, I'm happy you like my that bandanna and I can always put it back up for you if you want Raditz." She says slightly blushing at the strange apology. To her it's just a bandanna but she finds Raditz's attitude and the way he talks to her very cute and charming.

"Oh that would be great!" I say as I sit down and let her start managing the mess that is "raditzhead" as I've taken to calling it.

"You kids can take it from here.. I'll be in my lab if you need me honey!" Mr. Briefs says before leaving the room. 'Oops I kinda forgot he was there while I just flirt with his precious daughter. Looking up at Bulma I can tell he slipped her mind as well. Maybe I've got a shot!'

While brushing my hair and trying to tame it.." Sorry if he said anything too embarrassing. The silly old man, he really needs a new project." Bulma said still slightly blushing hoping her father didn't say anything too embarrassing in front of the handsome saiyan.

"Ah, it's okay, your father is quite the character. And I think I can help with that." I say as she finishes up with my hair. I pull out a remote from my bag and press a button. "Lets step outside and you can see what I'm talking about."

When we get outside we're just in time to see my pod land a few feet away from us. " This is my space pod that I arrived here in. I'm planning to set out into space to obtain more strength and accomplish a few tasks. I was wondering if we could use this to create a new ship with some better capabilities and accommodations. And maybe we can upgrade my scouter while we're at it? I could teach you the universal language and this would be a joint project between you, your father and myself. What do you think Ms. Briefs?" I ask looking at the bewildered woman.

She just nods and starts looking at the ship drooling slightly with stars in her eyes.

....

3 months later:

We're almost done with the ship. We've could have had it done by now but I've insisted on taking a few breaks for Bulma and I to go visit Goku and his family for dinners and to check on progress. Piccolo while reluctant at first, did decide to train with Goku and Gohan. It was probably on account of Goku pulling ahead so far in terms of strength, Piccolo knew there was no other way to catch up to him so he just decided to make the best of it. 'Even though I have very roughly f*cked up this timeline it seems Gohan and Piccolo were meant to be the greatest of friends' I muse to myself thinking back on a few of our gatherings watching the 2 interact with each other. I often caught Piccolo looking at the boy proudly when he thought no one was looking.

Bulma and I have grown closer over the months as well. I've spent minimal time training and a lot of time chatting with the girl while we worked on the ship. I know I'm not the most saiyan like saiyan anymore because of the merger I've found myself speaking a lot of Raditz's inner emotions and thoughts. I think this is the reason Bulma and I hit it off so well.

"Raditz, I have a question." Bulma says, a hint of nervousness.

"Bulma, you don't have to be so proper about it, ask away!" I say still attaching a few of the exterior pieces of the ship.

"The ship is almost done, I was wondering... um. I know you'll be leaving soon..."

"Come on Bulma, what's got you so flustered? We've worked side by side for months on the ship and spent a bit of time together and you've never once been so unsure of yourself." I walk over and put my left hand on her shoulder and with my right index finger I hook her chin and make her look me in the eye.

*clears throat*

I can see her steeling her resolve. "Well what do you think about me Raditz?" She asks looking me in the eyes expectantly.

"I think you're absolutely brilliant. You're mind and attitude, while intimidating to a lesser man, I believe would have made you an extremely formidable saiyan, hahaha. You're also an ungodly kinda beautiful, I've often found it very distracting and its made it difficult to concentrate in your presence. What's this about Bulma?" I ask her. As we've been spending so much time together I'm not nearly as nervous around her so I don't stumble through my words around her anymore.

"So..ahem..Take me with you!!" She says determined with a small blush.

"What to space?" I ask.

"No.. I mean yes, but.. Everywhere... I want to be with you Raditz. I want to be yours and only yours. I've spent years of my life around meatheads like Goku. I even wasted a chunk of my life on Yamcha who was always more into himself than me. You're different. You're strong yes, but you're also smart. I can have an intelligent conversation with you and you listen to me and understand what I'm talking about. You have no idea how refreshing that is. You've always treated me respectfully. Hell you even sat through a 2 hour movie you had no interest in just because I asked you to." She rants then pauses to catch her breath.

With the biggest, cheesiest grin on my face, I take her by the waist, lift her and spin her around. "I would be honored to take you as my mate. I will cherish you beyond your wildest dreams for as long as I live!" I tell her and place a kiss on her cheek.

"Wh- Really?!" She says blushing obviously not expecting my response despite all my shameless flirting that's happened over the months.

"Of course. I'm not my dunce brother, hehe. It would be my pleasure to have you by my side... I fear though, where I will go will be dangerous. The people I'm after would use you to get to me if they knew.." I tell her as I set her down to ponder on how to solve the predicament I've gotten my self into. 'I finally got her... But I'm not strong enough yet..UGHHHHH! By Kami I cannot let this woman slip through my fingers'

Bulma jumps back into my arms, nearly knocking me off balance, and places a long wet kiss on my lips. 'She tastes like strawberries! Delicious' When she pulls away she's all flushed but looks me right in the eye. "Silly man, you said we're going to Namek to use their dragon balls and they can grant more than one wish. Well if you'll allow me to use a single wish of the 3, I will show you how formidable I can be with some training and a bit of help from the dragon." She says with a fire in her eyes and a mischievous grin.

"What are you planning woman?" I ask with a hint of trepidation in my voice. 'I don't like that glint in her eye, she's scary when she's determined like that'

"I will with to become a saiyan like you and Goku. You said I'd make a great saiyan and I want to stand at your side so I've been thinking of a way for a while now. I thought this would be the best course of action if you said yes to having me be with you." She explains with a hopeful look.

"B-Bulma I would never ask you to change yourself for me. No that's not acceptable we'll find another way. Goku's friends are all strong and they're humans, we'll go that route there's no need to change anything about you." I say although I'm slightly interested if such a thing could be done. But I would never change her.

"And that my dear is why I will become a saiyan for you. You would never change me. And I appreciate that, I really do. But this is what I want. Yes Yamcha and the others are pretty strong as humans but I've studied you a bit and listened to what you've told me about your race over the months. To be with you at your side and be safe. That's what I want and you deserve someone like that. As long as I don't go all brainless meathead who just wants to battle I would very much enjoy understand you more. Please let me do this Raditz, for us??" She says confident in her decision and I can tell she's put a good deal of thought into all this.

"If this is what you want then I will support you. But please consider it fully before we get there. I wont be upset if you change your mind. Your happiness is priority." I tell her as I caress her cheek, while holding her to my chest.

She gives me another long wet kiss and slips her tongue into my mouth. 'I should pierce my tongue again. I will rock your world Bulma Briefs! Hehe what a random thought while kissing a beautiful woman. I guess not too random with how much she is turning me on.'

When she pushes away she looks up at me with a smile, probably feeling my desire.

"I have a gift for you. Put me down you big oaf, hehe." She says then goes to the corner of the room and retrieves a box bringing it too me. " I made this for you after studying the material your armor is made out of."

"Is that where it went a week ago? I've been looking all over for it!" I reply while sliding open the wooden box.

I look inside and my eyes widen. I pull out a new armor chest piece, wrist guards, loose orange pants like Goku's, boots that velcro, a skin tight fitted vest, and a wrap that's elastic but has the blue bandanna sewn into it. (see cover)

"Bulma... this is perfect.. I just thought you took your bandanna back, I never expected anything. I didn't get you anything though." I say, handing her the wrap so she can tie up my hair.

"Haha, you're taking me to space.. That's gift enough...There we go all tamed again. Now go change I wanna see you in your new gear!" she says slapping my *ss and trying to push me to go do as she said, but I catch her hands and pull her to me again and kiss her forehead.

I whisper into her ear.."I will spend my life protecting you, and making you the happiest woman alive. You can take that to the bank." I tell her as I place one soft kiss to her neck then release her to go change into the new armor.

(A/N:There will probably be more of this gushy mess between the MC and Bulma to come so if its not your cup of tea I understand. Please don't hate on it though I understand its not saiyan like but as I explained hes raditz and a human from our world that grew up a silly kid watching DBZ. Its different and its my story. I understand if you dont want to read anymore but again please no negativity. Plussss Bulma is f*cking hot so bite me!)
