Chapter Text
Yamcha stared out the window of the ship, fiddling with his thumbs mindlessly. he had try to fall asleep on multiple occasions throughout the night..(or whatever is considered night in space) But he had found himself unable to drift into a very much needed lack of consciousness. So, not wanting to disturb his companion, who was a very light sleeper by tossing and turning, he decided to take a small walk around the spaceship to clear his mind. And now that he was here, staring into the void of space, he couldn't help but remind himself of all the events that lead him there, in this place, in this moment.
Yamcha chuckled a bit, of course he was the first one surprised when one of the strongest and most dangerous tyrant started to court him. Obviously everyone was more than uncomfortable and worried that Freeza was now regularly frequenting the Earth to speak and follow Yamcha around. Scaring the shit out of said yamcha everytime. The ex fighter was reasonably quite nervous, because he didn't really get what the emperor wanted out of him. .but after a while Yamcha found that he quite enjoyed the attention that Freeza was showing him. he didn't realize how lonely he felt before the space lizard showed up..
And soooo, he threw caution to the wind and started responding back to the tyrant flirting. He felt like he was about to jump off a cliff every time he did, but it was exhilarating!
The feeling of cold fingers caressing his jawline made him shiver, and the small smirk that freeza gave the ex fighter made his heart thumped in his chest. It was a thin line between excitement and nervousness, and he loved every minute of it. And so, when the empror requested that Yamcha followed him in space to jouin him, he didn't even hesitate.
He asked Puar to hold the fort for him while he was gone, promissing to sent him news regularly. Yamcha did not tell anyone else. He knew how they would react, and he did not want them trying to stop him. Vegeta would have probably tried to rip his head off
enyway.
He did feel homesick the first month in space, but it was quickly put to the back of his mind since Freeza was all over him. It was kind of hard to think of something else when you were staring in those hypnotic red eyes.
Yamcha did feel a bit embarrassed in the beginning, because the emperor kept showering him with extravagant gifts, that he felt, were to fancy for him. he was a simple man after all. Freeza seemed to get the hint and changed the gifts for things that would suit Yamcha taste a bit better.
The ex fighter saw so many different beautiful worlds, he was in awe at all the places his new lover took him to. The Earth was now far from his mind.
He knew after a year of this that he never wanted it to end. He never wanted to leave his lover side. This is what he had been waiting for all those years without knowing it himself. And so, he decided to ask Freeza's hand in marriage..he was an old fashioned guy..And, he knew his lover had a father in space..And a brother..he thinks..But he didn't really know how to actually contact the lizard family or if he even could.. So! he would propose to Freeza and if he didn't get rejected and sent back home..He would bring up his desire to have his family blessing by meeting them. Brilliant. And so ,after a few months, he gathered up the courage to actually get down on one knee in front of Freeza With a golden ring he had managed to buy with the little cash he had brought with him to space. He was nervous that the emperor would think the ring was to plain or cheap..But to his surprise it was quite the opposite. he still remembers how pleased Freeza looked while gazing at his finger, letting the ring shine in the light. There was so much fondness in his eyes when he looked back at Yamcha that it actually stun the ex fighter. It was a new feeling..and it felt..Warm. Not thrilling like before but comforting. It was nice.. Of course Freeza wanted to immediately give him one of the most expensive ring he could find. But Yamcha reminded him that he was not a extravagant man. So after a small negotiation Yamcha ended up with a chic but simple silver ring ( it probably was something more expensive than silver but he didn't know what it could be and didn't care really.) He was just so happy. So happy in fact, that it took him two whole days to remember to tell freeza about his plan to meet his family.
As soon as the subject was brought up, his fiancé made a face and mumbled that maybe it wasn't the best idea..But Yamcha was persistant and kept asking, convinved that it was an excellent idea! It took him a week to finally get Freeza to reluctantly agree.
He was victorious! The human was quite literally jumping with excitement when they got on board the ship. Freeza not so much. But he was to lost in his thoughts to notice it that much. It's only after a few days that he started getting nervous..
Why was his fiancé so apprehensive about introducing him to his family? Would they hate him? what would he do if it was the case? What should he even say to them?
He started to have some second thoughts..Knowing that Freeza is quite literally a sadistic tyran..what would his family be like..? He shivered. No, he was able to handle Freeza, he would be able to handle them..yea..
Yamcha bit his bottom lip nervously, still staring intensely at the stars.
'' Yamcha''
the ex fighter jumped, startled out of his flashback. He didn't hear Freeza enter the room. He was standing right next to him for god knows how long, looking a bit worried or perplexed, Yamcha wasn't really sure.
'' are you all right? It's been almost an hour since you left the bed..''
the emperor placed his hand on Yamcha shoulder, turning him slightly so they were facing one another. the human looked away and shruged.
'' Well, kinda..I am probably just a bit nervous that's all.''
Freeza frowned. '' listen, if you are having second thoughts about..''meeting'' my family..we can always turn back.''
There was a hint of hopefulness in his voice. Yam smiled a little, regaining a bit of confidence.
'' no, i want to do this. I want to make sure that I am in good terms with the family of my future husband.''
The emperor squeezed his lips shut, nooding slowly.
'' As you wish..''
He turned to leave but stopped to ask.
'' Do you want to come back to bed at least? I am awfully lonely back there''
Yamcha smiled a little.
'' Sure, give me a minute love.''
And with that he kissed his soon to be husband on the hand wearing the shiny golden ring. freeza gave a small smirk and stroked the human legs with his tail before leaving the room. alone again, the ex fighter went back to the window, taking a long breath before deciding that, perhaps it would do him some good to speak to his old friend back home.
