Hi I'm not sure if your requests are still open or not, but if they are I was wondering if I could request Piccolo seeing his s/o who knows how to defend themselves, getting injured during a fight.

Piccolo's just got you back, he's not gonna let you get hurt again.
✨✨✨✨
"Whoa!"
Piccolo's hand is in front of your face, catching the ball in an instant.
"Goten. Trunks. Be more careful," he glared at the boys.
"Yes, sir! Sorry, [Name]!" they hurried away with the ball.
You raised a brow, "Lo...I could've caught it myself. It's just a plastic ball, it's not a big deal even if it did hit me."
All he did was look you over before sitting back in his chair.
You found this behavior strange, he's been like that for a while.
You tripped the other day, and in an instant, he'd caught you, righting you.
Last week, Goku had wanted to do a friendly spar and the whole time, Piccolo was scolding him not to hurt you.
And during the thing with Beerus, despite it being rational to fight with them, he told you to stay back--to not engage.
You frowned, "Alright. What's going on, you've been acting strange lately."
"No, I haven't."
"Yeah, you have. You've been super overprotective like I'm weak or something. I'm stronger than you--I know you care about me, but I can handle myself, you should know that by now," you crossed your arms.
"It's not about that."
"Then what is it about? You've been acting like this ever since I got back after Buu--" you sighed, "Okay, I see. Look, Piccolo, I'm back, you don't have to watch my every move, I'll be fine--"
His sharp gaze turned to you, "You don't get to tell me that. You don't get to tell me not to be cautious. Considering, the last time you said the words, 'I'll be fine', they were the last words I heard from you before you died."
You placed your hand on his, "I'm sorry..."
"You said you'd be fine, and I believed you would be, because you always were...but then..." his gaze turned to his lap.
"Then I wasn't...So now, you feel like it's your job to make sure I am. Because you feel like you failed to..."
