A/N:
This idea came to me after binge reading a lot of Megamind/Roxanne fanfictions on AO3, more specifically "and his skin is star silk" by megamegaturtle .
The writing style is inspired by setepenre-set's "Teeth" and "My Love Has Wings".
And We Are Renegade Rebels encouraged me to publish this prose.
So I want to thank all this wonderful people and all the ones who kept me sane during the flu.
The movie Megamind and it's characters are owned to DreamWorks.
Hungry for love
Roxanne is hungry.
She always is
And she had hoped she would have grown accustomed to it by now.
But she isn't.
It drives her insane.
She is horrified what she has to eat.
She eats love.
Love of other people.
She would call herself a vampire, but she hates it.
She also hates it if people call her kind succubi, incubi and demons.
Roxanne eats love.
And she hates herself for it.
Roxanne knows she has to be more feminine in order to survive.
But she doesn't feel like it.
She doesn't feel like eating.
But she does.
Because her mother told her.
She is still hungry.
"Are you watching your waistline, you barely eat."
Says one of her (few) human friends during lunch.
Roxanne thinks:
"You have no idea."
She tries to be more feminine
But
It is the wrong time for her.
It is the wrong time for her curvy hips and narrow chest
For her cocky smile and sway that kept her family alive for generations
Even sirens are in need nowadays.
Like the human race wants them to extinct.
Roxanne had grown out her hair to her hip
And she is still starving.
She cuts it out of frustration.
Roxanne becomes a reporter.
The people adore her.
This is a save kind of love.
It comes in small dosages.
There is still enough for everyone.
Enough to keep her alive
But she is still hungry
So hungry
She takes herself a human once in a while
When the hunger is to strong
But they never stay.
They are dry after she eats from them and tell her the spark is gone
They are dry
And it takes time for them to recover and love another human
She takes the love which is meant for other people
And she hates herself for that
Cause even humans can starve if they don't receive love
Roxanne knows that humans never stay
They don't even stay for their children
Would she always be that hungry
Until she has a child of her own?
The people adore her
And there is always Hal
But her mother told her to keep her distance
"Pure lust is dangerous, even for them." She told her.
Roxanne always asks
Why?
Why can I not be like them?
Why can I not be a human?
Why can I not be like my father?
"Their blood is too thin." Her mother tells her
While she plays with Roxanne's hair
Drying her tears.
"It is never strong enough to create someone who is more like them."
The first time Megamind kidnaps her she feels like drowning.
This person is overflowing.
He overflows with love.
Roxanne met children who spilled less over.
Roxanne eats.
She drinks
She sucks in
What seems to be all around her.
She is ashamed that she is so greedy
But she was hungry for so long.
She hates herself after the kidnapping
For being so greedy
But she isn't hungry for the rest of the day.
Roxanne still eats the adoration of the people
She still sips from Hal
But now it tastes foul.
He always tasted this way
But know she notices it
After knowing what Megamind's tastes like.
Roxanne doesn't take herself another human anymore
She always eats from Megamind
During the kidnappings, tied to a chair.
She is ashamed
That she takes so much from such a kind person
Such an interesting and enthusiastic one.
But he doesn't seem like he would mind.
Wouldn't mind when she takes a sip once in a while
Doesn't seem to notice when she eats to satisfy her need for the next few hours.
Twice the week she is sated.
Megamind calls her "Temptress."
Roxanne gives a cocky smile
Flirty eyes while drinking from him
And thinks:
"You have no idea."
Megamind threatens her
Leans forward while she is in tied up and tries to look scary
Tries
He isn't scary at all
Roxanne noticed it the first time she saw him
Tasted him.
He couldn't be frightening
Not to her.
And he is so close now.
She tastes him
And she is hungry
So hungry
He leans a bit forward,
Towards her face.
Roxanne mirrors.
He leans a bit backwards, but he is too close now.
Roxanne catches him.
Catches his lips in hers.
Roxanne eats.
She drinks
She sucks in
The love which is mend for her.
He presses his lips to hers now.
Grasps her hair, holds her closer to him.
He takes her mouth
Like he was the one starving.
A while Roxanne holds herself back.
A while of over a month.
But Megamind doesn't like to hold back anymore
And Roxanne is too hungry to object.
How is she supposed to say this?
How should she tell him?
They are in tight embrace
Mouth to mouth
She is hungrily
Sucking in
What he gives
"You seem to have gained some weight."
"I did?" she asks.
Her kind barely changes their shape
But to the keen eye
To her family
To Megamind
They notice she is thin.
"Yes." He answers.
His hands gliding over her hip
"And in all the right places, too."
Cups her bottom
Lightning through her spine
He gives a different taste of him
It isn't foul
It is fresh
Roxanne mirrors.
How should she tell him?
She is hungry
She can barely hold herself back
So hungry
She becomes greedy again
How should she tell him that this is dangerous?
He doesn't know it, doesn't notice
How to tell him
That it's dangerous
Dangerous to touch her
So, so hungry
He breaks the kiss
Smiles shyly
"You know, this is fascinating."
"What?" She asks
Breathless
Hungry
He breaks eye contact
Wet eyes looking at the floor
"You, here with me." He answers.
"I'm not even a human."
"Well," she says
Still hungry
But also relieved
"Me neither."
They are in each other arms
Looking in each other eyes
He is playing with her hair
She is playing with his beard
Tears already dry
"You know, I always thought this was a legend." She says.
She doesn't know it, yet
Doesn't know that his blood is thick
Doesn't know that her family doesn't have to starve anymore
"What is a legend?" he asks.
"A pure soul. An infinite source that doesn't dry out."
He laughs. "You of all people thought this was a legend?"
"What makes you say that?"
He leans down and kisses her finger
"Because you are one of the most caring persons I know."
"You really think so?"
He caresses her cheek. "I know it."
"I was actually talking about you, Megamind."
He laughs. "You're bias. How am I a pure soul?"
"You would have left me by now if you weren't"
He goes stiff
Shocked
"I could never leave you. I love you."
Her smile grows wider
Softer
"Yes,"
She caresses his cheeks
Leans in for a kiss
Satisfied
He giggles when she whispers:
"I know."
