Jealous Piccolo x Reader

A/n- cynthia_guevarra8 let me know what you think! Wasn't 100% sure what you wanted plot but I thought of something cute and thought I'd give it a go! I can always switch it up so let me know! 

Being a teacher at Pan's school was a rewarding experience for you. Not only did you get to help shape young minds, but it also allowed you to become acquainted with some of the remarkable people in Pan's life. One of those people was Piccolo. The Namekian warrior often picked up Pan from school. Your initial curiosity about him evolved into a deep respect, and eventually, a budding relationship.

Piccolo had taken a special interest in Pan's education, often stopping by the school to check on her progress. Over time, his visits became more frequent, and you found yourself looking forward to his quiet, steady presence. There was something comforting about his stoicism, a contrast to the chaos of a classroom.

Your relationship with Piccolo was unique. While he often maintained his stoic demeanor, there were moments of vulnerability and tenderness that he reserved just for you. His protective nature was one of the things you loved most about him, but it also meant he had a tendency to get jealous.

One afternoon, after school had let out and most of the children had been picked up, you found yourself in conversation with another parent. Mr. Takeda was a friendly, jovial man whose daughter was in the same class as Pan. As you discussed the upcoming school event, he cracked a joke that had you laughing heartily.

Unbeknownst to you, Piccolo had arrived and was standing a few feet away, watching the interaction. His eyes narrowed as he took in the scene, his usual calm demeanor replaced with a surge of unfamiliar emotions. The sound of your laughter, normally a melody to his ears, now grated on him as he saw you enjoying someone else's company.

His eyes narrowed as he watched you laugh at something the other man said. A tight knot of jealousy began to form in his chest, and he found himself walking over before he even realized what he was doing.

When you turned and saw Piccolo, you waved at him with a smile. "Piccolo! You're here early."

Piccolo approached, his expression unreadable. "I finished my training early today."

"That's great! I was just talking to Mr. Tanaka here about the upcoming parent-teacher conference," you explained, sensing a slight tension in the air.

Mr. Tanaka, oblivious to the undercurrent of jealousy, extended his hand to Piccolo. "Nice to meet you. Your daughter is quite the student."

Piccolo shook his hand briefly, his grip a bit firmer than necessary. 

Mr. Takeda seemed oblivious to Piccolo's hostility. "Y/N is such a great teacher. Miko has been improving so much since the beginning of the school year."

"She is a great teacher," Piccolo agreed, his tone making it clear that he thought highly of you. "And she's very busy, so I'm sure she has other things to attend to."

"Ah, I see," Mr. Tanaka said, a bit taken aback. "Well, it was nice talking to you, Ms. Y/N. I'll see you at the conference."

As Mr. Tanaka walked away, you turned to Piccolo, noticing the slight furrow in his brow. 

Once he was gone, you turned to Piccolo with a raised eyebrow. "Was that really necessary?"

Piccolo crossed his arms over his chest, his expression stony. "I didn't like the way he was looking at you."

"Is everything okay?"

Piccolo glanced at you, his eyes softening slightly. "Everything's fine."

You raised an eyebrow, a small smile playing on your lips.

 "Piccolo, are you jealous?"

He crossed his arms, looking slightly uncomfortable. "I'm not jealous," he replied quickly, but the slight flush on his cheeks betrayed him. "I just don't trust him."

You smiled softly, stepping closer to him. "You have nothing to worry about. I'm with you, and I wouldn't want it any other way."

Piccolo's expression softened slightly at your words. "I know," he said quietly. "I just... I don't want anyone thinking they can take you away from me."

You stood on your tiptoes and pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek. "No one could ever take me away from you, Piccolo. You mean too much to me."

Piccolo's shoulders relaxed, and he let out a small sigh. "I'm sorry," he said, his voice softer now. "I just... I care about you a lot."

You smiled, wrapping your arms around his waist. "And I care about you too. But you don't have to be so protective. I can handle myself, you know."

He chuckled softly, a rare sound that always made your heart skip a beat. "I know you can. But that doesn't mean I'll stop being protective."

You shook your head fondly. "I wouldn't want you to stop. Just... maybe dial it back a bit when it comes to parents?"

Piccolo nodded, a small smile tugging at his lips. "I'll try," he promised.

You stood together in the schoolyard for a moment longer, just enjoying each other's company. Piccolo's jealousy had always been a sign of how much he cared, but it was moments like these that reminded you of the depth of his feelings. And in those moments, you knew that no one could ever come between you and the Namekian who had stolen your heart.
