Will You Settle?
by Bone Structure
It was difficult.
Shego could not go to dinner, or the movies, or even to Kim's house. She was a well known, wanted criminal and it simply was not practical to be out in the open often.
Kim could not go to Shego's safe places either. Shego was mostly confined to Drakken's lair and the nighttime darkness. But Kim was a high school student, who lived with her parents, and staying out for long was hardly an option.
They had almost no way of contacting each other. Shego did not have a phone and was hesitant to call Kim, as Wade could have been listening in whenever he wanted.
But they managed.
During missions they sometimes ran off together, while Ron and Drakken distracted each other with their buffoonery. In the night, Shego gently broke in to the Possible home and held her redheaded Princess for a few precious and quiet hours. On a lucky day, whenever all of Kim's family members were away, Shego and Kim curled up on the couch and watched movies until the time came for Shego to quietly sneak away again.
It was one of those lucky days. They laid on Kim's oversized couch, Kim slightly on top of the older woman.
"I wish we could do this more often," Kim lightly ran her lips over Shego's ears.
"We could run off together, change our names, dye our hair, get a nice little farm, and raise cattle. All while having incredibly hot sex every night, of course." Shego raised her eyebrows and her lips gave off a seductive smile.
"I'll think about it, " Kim laughed a little at Shego's silly suggestion, though it was a bit tempting.
A silent time passed, they felt each other's soft breaths and delicate pulses.
"I'm sorry, Princess." Shego nuzzled her face into Kim's neck. Before Kim could respond, the thief continued on, "Most of the time we spend together, we spend trying to kick each other's asses. I can't even call you..."
Kim's tongue was broken, she couldn't find a response. Shego had not once apologized before, as she had never had a major reason to, but there she was, apologizing for something out of her control.
"Kimmie?"
"Yes, Shego?"
Shego braced herself.
"I can't offer you much, but will you settle for love?"
End.
