Disclaimer: I do not own 'Megamind' although it would be nice if I owned him... ;] (Who wouldn't want that, face my Death Ray!)

He felt like he was floating. As if the night had became a day, the birds were singing and world was beautiful. Despite of Minion leaving him… And she had kissed him! Boy, that was… he could not find the words to describe that. But it made him feel happy, sweet, warm and fuzzy feelings and a bit dizzy. Now they were at her apartment doors. Roxanne invited him over, so she could show him her discovery…and maybe for some more kisses… hmm… he felt a goofy smile appeared on his face.

"Why so deep in thoughts?" the brunette asked him with an impish smile. God, she was so gorgeous…

"I'm thinking that you're beautiful." He blurted, realizing, a second too late what he was saying.

She blushed a little and chuckled. They entered her home. Roxanne dropped her keys on a nearby table and led him to the hanging cards.

"We need to stand on balcony to see it fully." She said going to the balcony doors.

"Right." Oh, how smart she was, wasn't she? Figuring his plan like this… Hmm, smart, beautiful and strong… His brain was in a complete love haze, his eyes sparkling with happiness.

She couldn't help but smile a bit shy at him. She really liked this way I which he looked at her. She opened the doors and took one step on the balcony.

Then he looked to the left and saw a mirror. There he was. 'Bernard' and Roxanne. Somehow this image stung him straight into the heart. I may not know much, but the bad guy doesn't get the girl! Minion's voice echoed in his head. He gulped. He would never be with her if not this whole 'Bernard accident'. All of his previous happiness escaped from him like an air from the balloon. Damn you Minion! You're not right… I hope… When he looked at her he had made a decision. Either way he would achieve what he had planed anyway.

"Bernard, what's wrong?" he flinched when she called him that name. He took a deep breath, caught her wrist and pulled her back into the apartment, closing the balcony doors.

Roxanne observed him, he suddenly became so tense, like there was something bothering him. She wanted to know what it was and help him.

"Iloveyou." He blurted out and she needed a second to understand what he had said, but before she could somehow answer to that he continued. "I…" Deep breath. "I. Would. Do. Anything. For you." He said each word as if it was a horrible effort to speak them. "I realized it a few minutes before. I want to be who you want me to be. I care about you more than you can imagine, but…"

He stopped trying not to freak out. What done is done, he made a decision and even if his going to lose this fight, at least he had some memories to hold on to. He would go to find Minion made an attempt to apologize and then continue with being the villain.

"But?" she waited for him to go on. He was trying to say something important, and somehow this was starting to scare her. What if he already had a girlfriend or worse, a wife? Had a mortal disease and had few months of life, or simply did not wanted to continue their relationship because of her crazy lifestyle? She swore to God if it was the last one, she would personally go and kick Megamind's ass for ruining this…

"But I can continue this.." oh, God no, nononono. "by lying to you, anymore."

Please God, let it be a girlfriend, he could simply broke up with her, or the disease. I can handle that! Her mind went into frenzy as she watched him taking few steps back raising his right hand.

"Please" he said. "All I did during those few weeks I did for you…"

Few weeks? Yes, he was a great help and wonderful company but what… Oh, holy shit!

She covered her mouth and stepped away from him, her back hit the glass door. Dear God…

Roxanne couldn't move, she was in total shock. Taken completely off guard, by surprise. She could not expect…

"Megamind…?" she whispered, her voice shaking. Instead of Bernard she saw the blue alien, who also looked… scared? Of what? Her self defense kicked in and her eyes started to look after something she could hit him with. "What's going on? Bernard…"

"I was Bernard all this time" the villain tried to reach her but she avoided his hand.

"Don't…" there was a warning in her voice. "You lied to me!" How could he! The nerve! She felt rage building in, she felt betrayed, hurt. What was he thinking?

"I'm… sorry..." Megamind dropped his head. So this is it… he felt like something heavy had been placed in his chest and throat. He needed to leave. Oh, how stupid he was… Minion, yet again you were right… The blue man turned to leave, but she grabbed his arm, stopping him.

Roxanne was not sure of what to think now, taking into consideration what he had just said, and the fact of those few weeks… She remembered what she had said this afternoon. Apparently she was the one to 'tame this monster', who came to be not as monstrous as she thought, to tell the truth she felt safe with him… even now. Still, it was him who killed Metro Man and terrorized the city. He's a villain for crying out loud!

"Wait." He did not turn to face her. "Why? Why did you do this? What you wanted to gain with this? And why did you revealed yourself now?"

This made Megamind look into her eyes, oh how beautiful eyes she had… He tried to answer, but his voice could not come out. But she understood anyway. His own, green eyes were like an opened book to her.

"Oh… I can't believe this… Did you think that I would ever be with you?" she said it like it was a normal question, not an impossibility, but something that surprised her. Still it hurt pretty badly. Megamind dropped his eyes looking away from her.

"No."

This surprised her even more. Did the flamboyant, vain and cocky villain say what he just said? He continued to meet her even if he knew this had no chances of surviving? That she would reject him, anyway…

"Then why?"

"You… made me feel happy… But this doesn't matter now, I should leave…"

But she did not let go of his arm. There was a storm in both her mind and heart. She knew this alien for what? Ten years? Megamind started kidnapping her in college, he was the villain. More and more predictable with time, yes. But still a bad guy, the one who ended up in jail after another lost battle with Metro Man. He was so stubborn, he seemed to never learn his lesson and everything happened again. Kidnap Roxanne, call Metro Man, fight, loose and get dragged to jail. She never really bothered to get to know him better. And now, those dates with 'Bernard'… she had tons of questions with no answers.

"I'm… confused…" she finally said. "I need to sit down…" she had freed his arm and sat on the couch. The reporter dropped her head holding it in her hands, trying to fight upcoming headache.

That made also Megamind confused. Should he leave now? He shifted nervously and watched her, expecting her to give him the answer.

"How long?" she asked him

"Since the museum, when you were chasing me, I bumped into the real Bernard and to avoid you to find me out I dehydrated him and took his place…" He would not tell her it was because of the pajama, he was wearing at that time. "Then you found my lair, we infused Hal with Metro Mans powers and then… you hugged me, called me your partner…" he slowly was falling into the rant mode, but fortunately Roxanne asked next question.

"Where's Bernard now?"

"… My pocket…?"

She rolled her eyes, but decided to ignore that for now.

"Why did you created Tighten?"

"It's Titan. Apparently I'm not the only one with pronunciation problem…" the alien snorted, at least he did not have a problem with pronouncing his own name, unlike that dork. Then Megamind saw Roxanne's unimpressed look and explained. "After… what happened to Metro Man I realized I have no purpose in my life. What's the point of being evil if there's no good to challenge you? I was lost and bored out of my mind. Or as you have put it, I missed my ass being kicked…" he sighed. "Look, I admit I wanted to win. But not like this. I never expected myself to win. I always planned ahead, preparing myself for the defeat. One time success? Sure, why not! But then everything would return to normal. I would lose ant all this game would return to normal… I knew him for 30 years, Roxanne. In some kind of a twisted sense, he was close to a friend, shortly behind Minion. Then the Death Ray… I've lost my purpose. And then you came with that line. Hero's aren't born they are made. So I've found a DNA samples on Metro Man's cape. We infused Hal. So I've followed him, told him I was his 'Space Dad' and trained him to be the hero. So everything would be like before…" he finished feeling really tired.

"What about me?"

He raised his brows surprised. "I… I don't know… I did not plan to… fell for you… It was an accident. But I would probably come with some good cover to explain…"

Megamind looked defenseless. She sighed, yep the headache was there. It was a lot of information to proceed. She needed to think, but before that… one more thing.

"Sit here." Roxanne placed her had next to her waiting.

The blue man gulped again. What did she wanted from him? Why she hadn't thrown him out of her apartment? But he obeyed and sat next to her.

"Could you take off you gloves?"

"What for?"

"You owe me, Megamind." She reminded him and he had no choice but to do this. When the gloves were gone she took his hands into her own, surprising him, yet again.

His skin felt different. Was smoother than human's. But pleasant in touch. Long fingers, with white fingernails, his hands looked delicate but definitely had certain strength in them. Just by touching those hands she felt more content, safer. She looked into his eyes, she thought belonged to someone else.

What he told her, what had happened now made sense. Next question.

"During our dates. The stories you told me, about yourself…" she didn't need to finish, he understood.

"They were all true." He admitted.

Megamind watched her, she was not repulsed by his touch, holding her hands like that made his heart jump with joy. Was he getting a second chance?

Roxanne knew she should be angry. Furious even. But couldn't. Part of her refused to stay angry at him. He said he can change. He was the person she fell for. Still she did not wanted to be a fool. A lot of men across the world told things like that to women, some were serious, some just lied. But if he was saying the truth… Was she in love with him? Heck, the death of Metro Man was not something she could easily over look, but he told her the truth… On the other hand, sooner or later, all this 'hero versus villain' thing would end up with one of them dead… But it wasn't an excuse… Oh, she should have visit Wayne's hideout… maybe there she could finally think thing through without Megamind invading her mind and life. The last question… She should have done that long time ago, but was to preoccupied with 'Bernard' and figuring out Megamind's plans… She would do this tomorrow

"Roxanne?" her touch was pleasant but couldn't she let go of his hands? The alien was not used to such a long skin contact with a human.

"Sorry" she came back to reality, but not letting go of his hands. "I have one more thing to ask you."

"Yes? What is it?"

"Could you… Kiss me, like in the restaurant?"

His jaw dropped heart skipped a bit and his brain shut down. Did she just ask him, what he thought she asked him?

"Okay…" Megamind touched her cheek with finally free right hand. Her skin was so soft… He lost the track of what was going on. Nervous, like never before he leaned closer to her and got a glance of the look in her eyes. He was doomed. Forget Metro Man or any other nemesis he would meet in the future. He knew that Roxanne was going to be the death of his… He looked at her lips and placed one delicate kiss on them. Then he decided he wanted a bit more, so kissed her again. Longer.

It was Roxanne's brain turn to shut down. Her heart danced a cancan. And a swarm of butterflies took a flight in her stomach. Toes curled, and this was only a small, innocent kiss. Time stopped for the both of them. And when they parted she had her answer…

"I love you too…" she whispered into his ear. "But you need to take care of Hal anyway, you hear me?"

He smiled with his goofy smile.

"Anything for you…" he whispered back.
