Author's note(s);
Well, here I go again with another Roxanne and Megamind story. I set this one from their teen years/shool time- If you're Megamind. I chose to call him Blue because of one of my favorite songs from the movie- Mr. Blue Sky. Not for any other reason. I appreciated the reviews on all of my other stories and the critiques. I've even worked some of the advice I've gotten into this story. I tried to cut back on my "-ly," words! :D
Enough of me talking, please enjoy the chapter.

'He is such a...bad boy.'
She could pretty much hear her mother now- "Roxanne Ritchi, you need to stop day dreaming about such things. What would your father say?" And that just stung. Her father was a security guard and his sense of the law was sharp and blunt. If he knew what she thought when she saw the indigo boy act up he would ground her.
But she couldn't help herself! Being sixteen, despite being mature for her age, still entailed her being rebellious anyway. As she watched him from her locker she gave a slight smile. The blue "teen," was walking with his best friend, the fish in the gorilla/robot suit by the name of Minion. She continued watching him as she brushed her long brown hair out of her eyes, not needing the distraction from her soft mane of chestnut locks.
They were so cute in how protective they were of each other. 'Just like brothers,' she considered and then decided upon it with a nod. Her bright blue eyes examining him from behind her glasses. It had taken some getting used to, being attracted to a hoodlum, but she knew from day one about her feelings.
With a small sigh she retrieved her books and shut her locker, knowing she was going to be late to class, before turning and being run into by some jock that was chasing his friend. He shot her a look and a sorry but she just stood up, ever strong and unphased, with a shrug "It's no big deal." she said and waved him off before starting to get her books back up.
She watched as a blue hand reached out and picked up one of her notebooks and her textbook for Psychology. Her eyes slowly ventured up from his black and blue- that was his normal color scheme- stripped long sleeve shirt and into his bright green eyes. He stood up as she did and held them out to her. "I think you dropped these." The blue boy said.
Roxanne felt herself get uncharacteristically weak kneed and a small blush crept over her cheeks as she took the books. "Thanks Blue," She said, using the name all the teachers and students had given him, before giving Minion, who she shared fifth period with, a polite smile and wave which he returned- Ever a gentleman-fish.
"You're welcome Roxanne." He said and a very thin smile came to his lips as their fingers had brushed. She hadn't actually noticed it but he had- His hands fairly sensitive. It surprised him to feel how warm and soft her skin was, he didn't often have physical contact with a human after all.
"So how has your day been Blue? I'm fairly shocked, no trouble today. Given up on being bad?" She quipped and found the smirk he wore at her words oddly infectious, soon sporting one of her own as they walked down the hall. Minion walking to the left of Blue in polite silence.
"Hardly Roxanne. I wouldn't want to disappoint you. If I stopped being evvvv-il who would you interview for the shool paper? I know you adore asking me all of those questions and my headlines make you an alarmingly interesting, albeit nosy, reporter." He said and turned to look at her when she laughed, she'd grown pretty fond of him calling her a nosy reporter since she had joined the school newspaper the year before.
"I'm sorry to burst your ego, Blue, but Metro Guy brings in headlines too. From saving our school from your antics to saving the city from nefarious dangers, I can report on other things but you," She claimed and wished Minion a good day as he parted from the group to go to one of the rare classes he and his best friend didn't share- Only two on their schedule weren't together- before she focused back on Blue "Just so you know." she finished her sentence.
"And yet you CHOSE to report about me NUMEROUS times... Hmm, I can not help myself in wondering why that is?" He said and she watched as he stroked his chin in mock thoughtfulness only bringing Roxanne's attention to his recently grown goatee with a smirk. She assumed he chose to grow one because it made him seem more evil but, contrary to his belief, it only made him more dashingly handsome and...sexy.
She shook her head, needing to refocus on the intellectual banter at hand, and rolled her eyes with a smirk. "Oh as if, Blue. I simply go where the editor tells me to. Strangely enough, it's to you." She said, speaking her last sentence slowly and causing him to chew on his lip.
"Temptress! How many times have I told you? Your mind games won't work on someone with a mind as big as mine!" He scrambled for a deflector to her words and his smirk vanished as they neared, what she guessed, was his next class.
"You certainly have one mega sized mind. See you around Blue boy." She said, brushed her hair out of her view again, starting off but not before Blue got in one more line- "I think you should cut your hair." She heard him say and she stopped to look at him, seeing him get a little nervous. "And why do you think this?" Roxanne asked.
"I've noticed you always brush it out of your eyes and have it up during school anyway. Not that it doesn't look good but it seems unnecessary... And," He started with a small smirk "I think your fiery temptress ways call for a short cut that matches." he added before walking into his class.
Roxanne considered it and, that night as she walked out of the salon with short locks, decided that Blue was right. But now that she had the cut to "match her ways," she had to get the boy that fit her craving and, to do that, she had to tempt him.
