Well, hey y'all! I'm doing a traditional seasonal fic like I've done twice already, but this time it's an iPod shufflr challenge! Ya gotta try these, they're so fun! Just shuffle the music on your iPod, and whichever songs pop up you write a little story about. Cool, right? Since about HALF of my songs are about love, I thought this would be fitting instead of a oneshot, and besides I had no ideas for a oneshot anyhow XD
So, these drabbles are in order from post-movie, pre-movie, and then a concept from my ongoing novel, Bleu Leather. I NEED MORE READERS FOR THAT ONE PLEEEZ! Enjoy! :D
Song #1
Music Again by Adam Lambert
I want your body, mind, soul, et cetera
And one day you will see
You should give it to me
What exactly was that feeling? Had Megamind even felt it before? It was so… so… pleasing, but at the same time kind of unnerving.
See, that was his problem. He had never felt love before. This was more than just a crush, much much more. It was true love for the creature sitting right in front of him.
Roxanne! He loved saying that beautiful name alone, letting the r roll off his tongue and drawing out the anne. The double xs were the best part. They felt so right in his mouth, and paired along with the rest of the name made it even more beautiful. How could even her simple name make him feel this way? Was that normal?
And I don't want anyone instead of you
Oh babe, I'm going crazy
The blue man propped his chin up on his hand, and hoped she couldn't feel him boring holes into her head with his shocking neon green eyes. For some reason, his attention span was getting to that of a botfly, at least towards his blueprints. Strange, his attentions were never averted like this, and so quickly and simply, too.
No, no, he corrected himself. His attentions had never been averted from anything important until he started dating Roxanne.
But boy, did he enjoy it. Never in his wildest dreams (Ok, maybe in little lonely fantasies in his evil days) would he have thought that one day he'd be Roxanne Ritchi's boyfriend. He still couldn't quite believe it. Couldn't believe she was his!
And I ain't never met nobody better-er
You're someone else's baby
As he further stared at Roxanne, his attentions were completely diverted from his work, and fully concentrated on the most beautiful woman in the universe. Megamind was so glad that she was currently typing on her laptop with her back to him, because she probably would've been frightened by the look of Megamind's wide eyes. He was only opening them that wide to take in all her delicious beauty that he could never quite seem to absorb fully. And it set his heart throbbing, even from the back! The perfect lighting in the Lair seemed to only be shining on her and her mop of silky pixie-style hair that Megamind simply could never get enough of. Her shoulders looked so curvy and gentle, and Megamind's breath almost caught at the simple sight of her skin that was from her off-the-shoulder sleeves of one of his favorite dresses she wore.
His eyelids dropped, and he allowed himself just a small inaudible sigh. All his. It was almost surreal, but Megamind enjoyed every nanosecond of it.
I'm so sick of living for other people
Took meeting you to realize
I don't wanna lose you
I wanna keep you
Put your little hand in mine and look into my eyes baby, eyes
Pretend you don't feel the lasers in your skull, Roxanne chanted to herself in her head. She could not type one more word anymore. She could always feel people staring at her, folloiwng her; she just could always tell by the way her neck was prickling. It felt like she had just stuck a million little push-pins in there, and the feeling got worse, as she knew exactly who was staring at her.
Her boyfriend. Her gorgeous, heroic blue boyfriend she loved more than anyone. And she knew that he loved her right back equally; possbly even more now that they had solidly declared a releationship. How much exactly could he love her?
I love you more than any human would ever be capable of, Roxanne.
Oh, yes. She remembered those words. They had moved her so much! He had a higher capability of love than any person on Earth, and she had been the lucky one to receive it. What exactly were the chances, if any at all? They were probably a quadrillion to one!
Oh, you make me wanna listen to music again
Yeah, you make me wanna listen to music again
Megamind took advantage of this opening while he had it. He knew Roxanne could feel his staring intently into her. How could he have forgotten about that strange sense she had? She must've been distracting him from the obvious.
Silently, Megamind stood up from his workbench and paced over to his girlfriend, who automatically threw her head back over the sofa to look him in the eyes.
"Hi there, space man."
"Hello," Megamind greeted in a low voice.
"Were you thinking about me?" Roxanne teased.
"How did you know?"
Roxanne chuckled, and kissed Megamind on the lips softly. He sighed a little. Kisses from her always tended to put him under this sort of trance that left him speechless for just a second too long, and it was so endearing of him. Roxanne was kind of proud to be able to do that to him.
She gasped when Megamind tried deepening the kiss, then abruptly pulled away, leaving her scoffing at him as he made his way all the way around the other side of the couch to get a better angle at her lips. Roxanne smirked, and moved her laptop off of her lap and on the coffee table in front of her just as Megamind snaked and arm around her and kissed her again.
Ok, so this was going to be a heck of another makeout session, but Roxanne was going to enjoy every nanosecond of it. It was with the blue alien she had fallen in love with—with one in a quadrillion chances of it happening.
D'AWW! That one was not the best, but still sweet. I wish I put more description in it, but I guess I wonked out or something I dunno XP
Next one is pre-movie, and I like the ending of it, even though it's short!
Song #2
Tell Me Something I Don't Know by Selena Gomez
Everybody tells me that it's so hard to make it, it's so hard to break it, and there's no way to fake it
Megamind was brooding in his evil chair again, at how miserably he had failed at that last evil plan before he was carted off to jail again by that pompus… sparkly… heroic Metro Man. He hated him! He hated him so much! Why couldn't he just be defeated, just like that? Why couldn't Megamind just rise up and beat him, and then take control of all Metro City?
And there was another problem, but even in his mind he wouldn't admit that it might've been bigger than Metro Man. It was blue-eyed like him of course, and had a pointy, cute little nose, wore pencil skirts every day, and had cinnamon-y short brown hair.
Roxanne. My god, Megamind thought, why couldn't he just stop thinking about her when he was broodinging about more important things, like not even being able to come close to defeating his nemisis? She had infected him with her beautiful, yet irritating essence!
Everybody tell me that it's wrong what I'm feeling, I shouldn't believe in the dreams that I'm dreamin'
He wasn't supposed to have a crush on his kidnapee. It simply did not happen! It didn't go like this! Maybe when he finally, finally defeated Metro Man, he could just make her his evil queen to reign Metro City with him, and breathe a sigh of relief at getting what he wanted.
I hear it every day
I hear it all the time
I'm never gonna amount to much, but they're never gonna change my mind, oh
Tell me, tell me, tell me something I don't know, something I don't know, something I don't know
What he… wanted? He thought what he wanted was to kill Metro Man once and for all. Wasn't that his destiny? His calling?
Oh, he had the stupid human emotions again. And by human emotions he meant romantic love towards Roxanne. Why did he love her? What did it have to do with anything? It was all so frustrating!
But then he had a thought. A thought he thought he had pushed way into the dusty corners of his mind to be forgotten, but it was far from it. With a head like that, how could he possibly forget anything?
Sure, the tabloids raved about her and Metro Man being a couple, but that mega mind of his had other theories. Through that gathered evidence of the past years, he had observed that Roxanne never really swooned over him, or talked about him much at all. He had wondered on various occasions, why does she seem so emotionless towards him?
And that wasn't all! Megamind had never once seen them kiss. In a newspaper, online, on T.V., after a rescue—anywhere! Why was that?
Now Megamind was more than a little suspicious. He hadn't given the topic much thought too often. Now, as he finally acknowledged the information, he scoffed at himself, shaking his head and letting his gloved hand flop back with a thump onto his desk. Paying attention to very measly, seemingly unimportant tings seemed to be one of his strong points. Impalpable things he shut out, but sometimes they weren't meant to be shut out, and were in fact meant to be acknowledged for the better of him, and then when he realized… it was so obvious. The fact that it was right in front of his freaking bright jade eyes for endless years didn't assist in relieving his annoyed feeling. Observing was one of his best skills, needed in all his projects, experiments, and engineering he did, yet that one little missed fact… How? Just… how?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, something I don't know, soemthing I don't know, something I don't know
Now upon Megamind's face was a pout so evil and so smoldering, he was disappointed no one was around to see it. It was just him at midnight, pondering in the wheely chair, Minion powered down silently somewhere, and the brainbots stored right where they were supposed to be. Everything was eerily quiet, just the way he loved it. Dead quiet to wallow in was his absolute favorite late-night pastime when he tossed and turned, sick with insomnia, or just didn't care much for sleeping at the moment.
Because with this topic on his mind, he would not be sleeping anytime soon.
"Roxanne will be mine…" he whispered breathliy into his upsweeping neck collar, leaning way back into his chair to settle into another long-awaited fantasy.
I magine WHATEVER ya want after that XD.
I guess it's pretty obvious I like Selena Gomez LOL. Here's one from the universe of Bleu Leather, and a pairing I have of two of my OCs in it, Megan and Aidan. Megan is twelve, and Aidan is thirteen, and since the story takes place in a fantasy world, Megan is a fairy with Invader Zim-esque eyes and wings that have been mutilated. Aidan's a fireboy.I invented his race! I'm most proud of this drabble!
Round And Round by Selena Gomez
You see me standing there and act like you don't know me
But last night you were calling me saying you want me
Oh why you always make me feel like I'm the one that's crazy
You got my heart racing, my my heart racing…
"No!" Megan cried firmly to Adian, her fire-headed counterpart. She watched as his hair was set alight once again at her protest, but he said nothing. He didn't know what the silence was for, exactly, but he did have a lot to say to her.
So why wasn't he just saying it?
He did want to start swimming back to shore, but Megan was intent on staying in the water until the raging storm passed . Not moving would make them a little more oblivious to the mermaids lurking below, and they couldn't just dive back in and zip back to safetey, because the plants that had turned them into water-breathing animals had worn off.
What neither of them knew was that they were both making up fake reasons to stay like this, in the water during the pattering rain. And both of them knew the choice was stupid, even if their minds said otherwise. Megan and Aidan had perfect examples of uselessly combatting and quarreling consciences and minds that constantly bickered and outdid each other. And even if their consciences knew the better; were much more reasonable and deserved to be more powerful, the mind challenged it relentlessly, sending both of them into a mental helter-skelter of unlikely and unfamiliar emotions. And they both hated it.
But not each other, no, that was far from the truth.
Boy, I need you here with me
We can't go on this way
I'm falling hard for you
All I can say
It was this feeling that got in the way of everything: admiration. Yes, that little emotion was so unecessary to their situation in the moment, but it was present nonetheless. And unbeknownst to each other, the feeling was mutual, but they were just too afriad to admit it.
They were not afraid of snakes. They were not afraid of sharks. They were not afraid of dragons; not even the Onyx Dragon.
Yet they feared telling each other how they felt deep inside.
We're going round and round
We're never gonna stop going
Round and round
We'll never get where we're going
Round and round
Well, you're gonna miss me cuz I'm getting dizzy going round and round and round
The feelings were greatly admonished, but there. They wouldn't budge, and the only way to be rid of them was to admit them outright to each other, but it was feared.
They feared each other, and they both realized it at the same time.
Megan groaned, the sound inaudible against the raging pounding of the rain on the tide. The only thing she could hold onto; the only thing keeping them warm was the person she feared. And said person, Aidan, feared her yet was still clutching her to him because he didn't want to let her go. Not just because she was needed in Narcissa's defeat. Not just because he didn't want to witness a death by carnivorous mermaids,watching water turn pink with swirls of her blood that signified she was no more.
The feeling set inside him prevented it, and in fact… he wanted her.
The emotion he had denied for so long since he first discovered his feelings for her were starting to want to push out and show itself to the world, proud and glorified. Aidan didn't do fear, and neither did Megan, so why did they even try to fumble with excuses and cover-ups? It was becoming more and more useless the more and more they pondered, and now it felt as if a little ray of insight was finally inching out and materializing.
"Megan, I uh…," Aidan started. He wanted to know for sure. Megan had her wondering face on, and he just wanted to know.
"Are you thinking the same thing I'm thinking right now?"
Megan knew this was not a time for yet another one of her wisecracks, though a comeback had lingered on the tip of her tongue. That had been one of her cover-ups; the most reliable one because they drove people away from wanting to be sentimental, and just brought a little good-hearted eye-rolling instead.
No eye-rolling or dry laughs this time. No fear either. She wanted to start saying it directly, but still stalled herself.
"Probably", she sad in a voice as surprisingly caring as his had been. Her head dropped, neck exhausted from holding it up all this time, and rested near his chest where she could hear and feel the steady beat of his golden heart that had only speeded a little at her gesture. It caused him to ignite the flame on his head even more to keep her warmer, and safe. It crackled and snapped amid the ravenous storm going on outside, and inside both of them, making one solitary orange glow in the middle of the Narcissa Sea where they were stuck. In mermaid territory with no sign of escape anytime soon, except if Aidan's fire ignited even more; energy of which he was low on at the moment.
But they had each other. They people they feared, yet cared for, and wanted to admit, but still they waffled, now for a more unknown reason than before. They were fast running out of excuses, and something else was trying madly to tear down the fear embedded within. Something wanted the truth to come out from where it was hidden, to get the revolving feeling out of the way at long last.
You try to pull me close and whisper in my ear
You've always told me lies, I've cried out all my tears
I push my feelings to the side but then you bring 'em back
B-bring 'em back
Now you got me singing:-
Aidan and Megan both started to consider their words carefully. They both knew now what either of them were going to admit; their curious minds had been working at maximum speed this whole time, and deduced that they had a mutual feeling. The realization brought more fuel to Aidan's fire both on his head and churning inside him and his mind. He was at the ripening age. He didn't have to hold back a confession like this, even though he knew what the answer would be.
"I know for sure we're thinking the same thing," Megan squeaked into Aidan's soaked magenta shirt as his hands tightened around her even more, keeping her close and safe from everything.
"Who goes first?" Aidan wondered out loud.
"Same time?" Megan suggested, and the Infernoi boy was surprised to find that he noticed for the first time Megan's glowing tears trickling down her face and stark against the battering raindrops incessantly falling from the sky. She was staring deep into the abyss of his luminescent topazes with her own sapphires.
"Wait, I take it back, I have a lot more to explain…"
And with that Megan spilled. Spilled everything she had to say to him; spilled how the force of her emotions was a burden because of the fear it brought to hers and his declaration of that one niggling feeling that got in the way of seemingly everything. And by that she meant probably every situation in the world anyone could get into. Love was a strong emotion.
"I feel so stupid!" she keened desperately, more of her glowing tears falling from her face and into the water, making a swirling whirlpool of soft blue tinged with green that surrounded the both of them. He head pounded once again at Aidan's chest were it rested for good, her breath causing a pleasant feeling on his neck.
Aidan had never witnessed a side of her with this much sentimrnt, but it wasn't laughable in the least. He was at the ripening age where he was supposed to be mature about everything. His days of horsing around and wisecracking were over, and now was a sure landmark as his official turning point: understanding deep feelings of a girl who normally hated to show corny sentiment and pretended it never existed inside of her.
Aidan knew it existed in everyone from Eboni, to Narcissa, as morbidly impossible as it seemed. But he remembered Megamind's words, and the storied from his past.
He was in fact hard at work unraveling the mystery of Narcissa's evildoing, as it interested him wildly and wanted desperately to know her secret. His progress was astounding, even for a very philosophical boy like him. Megamind had to be one of the very few people who strongly believed that Narcissa was hiding a secret so deep in her being, and so filled with feeling, that she was humiliated by her very existence. Too many people thought she was plain insane; that of which was only true with her sidekick Andromeda the Voodoo Doctress.
Megamind's determination had sparked Aidan's insight, and now he was not afraid to get sentimental either. He wanted nothing more than to be happy with Megan and save the world unbothered by the burden of his little walking reed-haired question mark.
He spilled every last thing as well, not even bothering to cover up his own few white-hot tears that emerged. He apologized for his insensitivity and ignorance that was not normal for ripening age. He was mature and ready for whatever came next if he didn't die while stopping Narcissa. If they didn't die.
After explaining thoroughly, the two tweens just stared at each other deeply, remnants of anguished tears ebbing away slowly down their pale cheekbones. They confessed, and they found that the weight on both their shoulders that had been held for nearly three years slowly lifted until they both felt like flying. The burden was gone.
Finally Aidan broke out into a seldom smile that showed his pearly white perfect teeth while the fire on his head intensified even more, warming up the two and possibly even showing through the thick fog to alert the Rebels of their location. He was overjoyed, and now he haad the courage to do what he had always wanted.
He brought his forehead down and held it against Megan's lovingly.
The sincerity and care in his act caused Megan's heart to melt for the first time in her cold-hearted life. She was not afraid of this one moment they had to themselves until the rain stopped. She was at peace at last in her hectic life that never ended with tragedies, dramas, and annoyances and arguments. She had one moment where the only thing that existed was Aidan.
They were together.
Taking one last soulful look into their eyes that silently screamed out with admiration, Megan's mind was finally made up.
Without the slightest trace of fright, her lips found his and gave hime a gentle peck for good measure.
They came apart and sighed, their foreheads glued together. No more fear.
Ever.
AWESHUM. I loved this one! Now, I wanted to have this up before V-Day, but that does not mean it's the end of the shuffling. A little more time and I'll probably post another chapter of drabbles, since I'm planning another one already. You can suggest songs if you like! Remember, this is love-themed!
GAWD I luv Megamind drabbles :3 happy Valentines!
