"I Didn't Know My Own Strength"
by: kmtdiccion
Part One
The quaint little suburb named Middleton is now at sleep. Lights emanated from street lamps and bulbs inside homes faintly glowed. Stars were scattered all over the vast sky, shining their brilliance back down. The serene moon seemed to be in peace, being in harmony to the canvas-worthy scene. Down below, branches from trees sway gracefully as the gentle night breeze swept across the land. The mountain range north of the town was calm. Owls hoot and wolves howl, signaling the start of night time.
And within Middleton, somewhere near the residence of the world-famous teen heroine, a certain blonde boy sat on a rocking chair, situated in their backyard. He's in his pajamas and slippers. His hair's unkempt, eye's puffing red, and his face's still etched by the remains of the river of tears he shed a while ago. He then took his glass of juice, and gulped all of it's contents to his throat. After all of it went inside, Ron sighed and returned to gaze the night sky.
"I hate this night. It's just too beautiful." Ron muttered to himself.
He stared on his now empty glass. Ron's mind started to visualize every bit of his nightmare-come-true events that shook, no, shattered, smashed, obliterated his world into oblivion. And as the picture of him and her sped up, a voice inside of him grew louder and louder. And like a broken record it taunted:
"Face it Stoppable! You're weak! You're a loser! No one will like you for what you are."
Shaken by anger, Ron reluctantly tossed the glass towards a tree, breaking the glassware into millions of pieces. The young man let a frustrated growl escaped his lips and sat right back to his chair. Anger was suddenly replaced by anguish as tears started flowing again. It seems that there was still hurt feelings left inside his badly beaten heart. And no beautiful scenery like this night can outweigh the ugliness of his battered soul. He's not only an emotional wreck, he's an emotional disaster.
He buried his face on his hands and wailed "WHY? I LOVED YOU! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?"
Good thing that his parents are away for the tour. He got the whole abode to himself. So, he can let all of his frustration inside out. His pet mole rat, by the way, was asleep. He didn't want to disturb his friend's sleep so he put him inside his soundproof room.
While venting out all his pain, he then felt something as if he's 'being watched'. And as he lift his face from the palms of his hands, he saw a shadowy figure sitting on a sturdy branch, staring at him. The figure suddenly jumped out of the tree and on mid air. Horrified, Ron screamed "AAAHH! Please don't kill me! Oh please please please please!"
The petrified sidekick scurried behind the chair as the dark figure landed. He closed his eyes, wishing his death will not be as painful as he thought. He was outright shivering from his supposed 'assassin'. He silently thought:
"Heh. I guess this is it. I may thank God for ending my misery early. I ma-"
A feminine voice broke from his train of thoughts "Stoppable-san!"
"W- Wait! T- That voice... That voice... I- It sounded like... Yori? YORI!" Ron's mind thought.
"Y- Yori?" Ron asked. He took a peek behind the chair and saw his friend in the Yamanouchi school not long ago. He then stood up and cheerily greeted "Yori!"
"Stoppable-san, I am sorry if I had startled you." She shyly said.
Ron nervously chuckled and replied "That? Psh... No. I- I was just practicing my... screams of courage."
Outside, he may be grinning, but inside, he was still sobbing from the emotional wounds he was been inflicted. And as ninja should learn about perception, Yori saw Ron's soul gaping with holes. And from the fact that she was there longer than he think she was, she knew he's in deep turmoil.
"Stoppable-san, I think something is bothering you." She commented.
Ron was taken aback from what he heard from her. He was trying to cover up the mess he is in now with some of my 'American-style' jokes. And yet, she knew what was he feeling inside. He pondered on the thought of Yori being super perceptive. There was no turning back now. He thought that she knew something's up. And, he had no other choice but to bare all of it to her.
He took a deep breath and said "Y- Yori... K- K- Kim a- a- and I... K... Kim and I a- a- are..."
His voice were trailing of as he was on a verge of bursting into tears again. And as he let his floodgates loose, he sobbed down and was about to fall. He then felt Yori embracing him. Her touch made him more comfortable and a bit fuzzy inside. And between those sobs, he croaked:
"K- Kim... K... Kim... and... I... are... not... together..."
Flashback (Four days ago) :
"Ooh! Today's a big day Rufus! It's now exactly been three months since me and KP dated." Ron chirped as he took some clean clothes to wear. Ron walked towards the mirror to take a look at himself. His grin became wider as he squealed:
"Looks like the Ron man's got it going on!"
"Hnk! Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Good!" Rufus flashed a thumbs up.
"Well, wish me luck buddy. Sorry but I can't take you with me. Though, I'm leaving a plate of cheese if ever you went hungry."
"Yeah! Cheese."
"Well, Bye buddy."
Rufus waved his hand to his owner before closing the door. Ron's now ready to embark to their third monthsary date. He actually planned this one to be extra special. There would be no Bueno Nacho and movies. He went towards the kitchen and took the containers of his 'Risotto Kimberly'. He will set up their table on a beautiful spot in Mt. Middleton. Monique and Felix was helping for his plans. Felix's on keeping the food heated and Monique for the design of the table.
When he approached the said venue, he saw that everything was set. The two were just gazing through the mountain's scenic view. Ron went towards them and thanked "Felix! Monique! Thanks for helping me. I didn't know what will I do without you guys."
"As your girlfriend always says: It's no big!" Monique said.
"Yeah! Good luck with your date Ron! You're the man!... Well, except in Zombie Mayhem." Felix grinned.
"As if! I'm so gonna beat you if it wasn't for my date." The blond boy playfully punched on the boy in wheelchair's shoulder.
"Dream on my man!"
"Uh, Ron. I think you should be in Kim's house right now." Monique informed them.
Ron took a look on his watch and gasped "Oh my gosh! You're right. I must hurry. Thanks again guys." He then took his scooter and drove off the site. The two waved their farewell and wish him good luck. Felix turned to the dark beauty and asked "So... What should we do now?"
Monique smirked as she answered "Come on here, my baby zombie boy! I'll show you."
Ron arrived at the Possible's residence in a nick of time. He went towards the front door and rang the bell. He's happy on his expectations of the outcome of this date. He peacefully sighed as he thought of Kim cooing at his ears, with a bit of sultriness in her voice, saying thanks for a wonderful night and she wanted to repay all of his deeds to her. She went closer and closer until...
"WHOA!" Ron frantically shouted as he lost his balance, heading towards the door. He was trying to regain his composure but his luck was cut short. He landed on the carpet of the den. He noticed that the front door was left open. He looked around to see that there were no signs of the Dr.'s P squared, Jim, Tim and Kim. Standing up, he looked inside the kitchen but there were still no signs of the Possibles. He got back to the den, sat on a couch, and groaned "Where is she?"
After a few minutes, he heard some faint noise. It looks like someones upstairs. He silently climbed upstairs. While he was in the middle of the flight, he heard Kim's voice, moaning:
"Oh yes! Yes... Oh God! Yes..."
There were sounds that was like the bed springing up and down. And as he reached the door, he poke a hole and watch what was the commotion going on inside. The smell coming from inside was really weird for him. It made his head felt a bit dizzy. And when he regained his strength, he looked inside the room.
The blonde boy went into four shades of pale when he saw Kim, her Kim, nude with someone else. They were both lying on her bed, sweating. He connect all the pieces and what he found out made Ron totally speechless.
"T- The moans... the sound of bed... t- the s- s- smell... O- Oh My God! K- K- Kim's..." Ron thought.
He was cut off when she spoke "That was great, hon!"
The man she's with lightly grinned at her "Well, I really wanted to please you."
Kim shifted her body towards the man and purred "I think, you did more than pleasing me."
He laughed lightly and said "If that's the case then, I think you should break-up with that loser b-"
Kim instantly replied "Don't call him that! Though I just can't break up with him. I don't have the guts to say it to him as of this moment."
"Well, might as well say it to me now, Kimberly." Ron retorted. He went inside the room, seeing Kim and his 'new boy toy' in all their glory. The two shrieked as Kim tried to cover her body with blankets. She was supremely mortified since she was caught by her best friend/boyfriend red handed. Kim then said "Ron, how did you-"
The enraged blonde boy cut her off "Don't you 'Ron' me! I can't believe this. How could you Kim? I mean, if you don't want me to be your BF, then you should have dumped me since the beginning. You cheated on me. Why?"
"R- Ron" Kim could only manage to speak his name.
"I said, DON'T YOU 'RON ME! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?... Now, I will ask the question again: Why? WHY DID YOU DO THIS... THIS... I don't even know what to call this relationship!" Ron coldly asked, sprinkling it with venom.
"I- I" She stuttered.
"WHY?!"
"I- I..."
"... I thought so. You know what Kim, let me remind you something important: I love you. Get it? I EFFING LOVE YOU KIM! I gave in to your every whim. I've dropped everything whenever you call me. Heck, I'll be willing to give up my life so that you can be safe. Remember the orchid, Kim? THAT FREAKING RARE ORCHID I WORKED HARD TO SEARCH FOR IN THE FREAKING AMAZON KIM! That was the only mission I did without you. Can't you see? You were everything to me. And finding that you were... you were..." Ron ranted, but his voice trailed off by the end.
Ron's mind went overload. There was too much information that was needed to be digested in a short period of time. This caused his reasoning to dull greatly. The pain inflicted was tremendous for his mind and soul. His life unravel right in front of his eyes. He saw every day of his life with the red head. The poor boy can't see or even think clearly. Emotions triumphed in his body. He stood up and bid:
"Well... I g-guess t-t-this is it then... G-Goodbye Kim"
The heartbroken boy walked outside the room and out of her life. He didn't mind her calling him back. He's too hurt to even see her again. He quickly got out of the house and drove his scooter back towards his home. He called in Felix and Monique and told them the date's off. The two were shocked to find out what happened between the two. They were sympathetic to him, which made Ron feel a bit better. They said sorry and went to pack up all the stuff they've worked to set.
Ron, meanwhile, lie down on his bed and thought everything they went through starting from that fateful Prom night. He winced as he remembered their first kiss. That electrifying kiss they shared inside the gym hall. His fingers lightly touched his trembling lips. He then silently cried. His whole world was shattered, no, destroyed into oblivion. And after hours of crying, his tears already dried, he wearily turn his body around, facing a picture frame and whispered "K-Kim... Why?"
Ron closed his eyes and dove into his dreamless sleep.
"There there. Do not shame yourself Stoppable-san" Yori compassionately said as she rubbed his back.
"But I am Yori! I am a loser." Ron cried as he let go of the hug.
"I said do not shame yourself Stoppable-san! Where's that blonde boy I first saw in the airport?" Yori said. Frankly, she knew Ron is in a big turmoil. But, she believe that wallowing in one's hurt past will never make a person better. Instead, he drowns deeper in the sea of despair and helplessness.
"W-W-What?"
"The 'Stoppable-san' now is entirely different from the 'Stoppable-san' I knew back in Yamanouchi. Where's the guy that saved me from Monkey Fist and Fukushima?"
"Y-Y-You don't understand."
"Yes! I don't understand why you were still stuck with her. Stoppable-san, it's clearly that Possible-san doesn't want to be with you the way you wanted it."
"And that's why it hurts Yori. Kim's my world. And what she did to me that day was the most painful thing I ever felt. Heck, I would rather face Shego's plasma fists than her."
Ron sat back on his chair, sulking. Talking to Yori might have been a bit reliving, his pain was still greater. He buried his face in his hands and added:
"Y-You know what, Yori? I even thought of not being alive. I'm just a waste. I'm no good."
The dark-haired ninja was shocked to hear those words coming from him. She quickly replied "Stoppable-san! I cannot believe you are saying those shameful words to yourself."
"Huh?"
"Stoppable-san, you are no loser. You're the greatest boy I met. You're special."
"Special? Yeah right. Like w-"
"Stoppable-san! You are special. We regard you not only a student, but a hero. A true hero that saved the school from Monkey Fist. Sensei believes in you so much Stoppable-san."
"Me? A hero? Like that's true."
"Stoppable-"
"Yori, no one even likes me! See those people in my high school, they call me the biggest loser in the entire world. With Kim now gone, I'll be the biggest laughing stock at school."
"Stoppable-san, There are still people who likes you! Don't harsh yourself."
"Yeah? Well name one."
"I do! I like you Ron Stoppable."
A/N's: Oh my! The bombs were dropped. Yori revealed her kept secrets from Ron.
