That's my second fanfic in English. I had so much fun writing that romantic story! I asked a friend to help me a bit to make sure my English was good enough to publish.
I don't own the charaters or anything from Dreamworks.
The third day, after making different plans with Minion, he decided to drug her to make sure she would sleep all night long. Then, he would stay there to check on her. Minion said more that once that it was a bad idea, but as usual, Megamind didn't listen to his wise fish friend.
That evening, Megamind and Roxanne decided to watch a movie together. Megamind put the sleeping potion in her drink, but she didn't touch it. He was getting nervous at the fact that she wasn't drinking it, when, out of the blue, Roxanne just laid her head down on his shoulder. Mesmerized the situation, he put his arm around her shoulder, his heart pounding.
''I feel safe when you are here. I have to admit that sometimes it's weird to think that I feel so well with the man who kidnapped me and tried to kill me so many times,'' said Roxanne.
''Oh... yes. I did that... often. I'm… I'm sorry about that,'' said Megamind. Roxanne smiled. It was rare to hear him apologize.
''It's ok. I understand that it was a good way to attract Metroman's attention. After all, everyone, including you, thought that I was going out with him.'' She straightened up and took a sip of her drink. ''It feels so good to know that I can trust you.''
He felt suddently really bad, knowing the content of the glass. He wanted to stop her, but it was too late. She had emptied the glass. She put her head on Megamind chest, a hand resting on his shoulder, and looked back at the movie with a satisfy sigh.
''I'm sorry, Roxanne,'' whispered Megamind, looking at the empty glass. It was all he could say. He kissed her forehead, smelling her shampoo. He caressed her hair with his gloved hand, suddently forgetting about the drug, hypnotized by this strange thing his bald-head was lacking. She purred on his chest, getting closer to him. He felt like his heart skipped a beat and continue to play with her hair, then on her back and on her arm, enjoying the moment, forgetting the movie, the time and the world.
He felt her relaxing more and more until he could clearly see that she was asleep.
''Roxanne?'', whispered Megamind. She didn't reply.
He took her in his thin arms and brought her to her bedroom. He put her gently in her bed, and pulled the covers over her. Taking a chair, he sat in a corner of the room, observing her sleep. He put his lasergun on his lap, just in case that the knight-mare might come in a shape rather than in her mind. He was looking at her, lovestruck, when Roxanne began to move in her sleep. She was making plaintive noises and her eyes were moving quickly behind her eyelids. Her expression was clearly showing great fear. Suddenly, she screamed and didn't stop.
''Roxanne!'' shouted Megamind, worried. He wasn't sure what to do against the invisible nightmare. He shook her gently to wake her, but it didn't work at all. ''Something is wrong. The drug must be too strong for her. She's stuck in her knight-mare. Oh no...What have I done?''
He tried shake her harder, but she fought back, hitting him really hard, as if her life was in danger.
''Arg! Roxanne, stop it! It hurts!'', exclaimed the blue alien.
''No! Hal, stop it! Don't touch me! Megamind! Megamind! Please, help me!'' cried out his girlfriend.
Hearing his name, worry left his heart, leaving only the profond will to help her.
He locked her wrists together with his hands and climb on her to pin her on her bed.
''Roxanne! Roxanne, it's me Megamind, Ouch!'' She kicked his back with her knees and he fell on her, almost knocking their heads together. She was totaly panicked. Being close to her hear, he hurriedly said: ''Stop kicking me. I'm here!'' She gave him a headkick. ''Ouch! My big blue head!'' Enduring the blows, he added: ''I won't leave you! Roxanne! Wake up! Please wake up!''
Megamind suddenly heard a strange sound. The sound of a bottle rolling on the bed. He struggled to look at it and saw a small spray bottle with a note from Minion: « In case Miss Richi doesn't wake up ». With one hand, he grabbed it quickly, still holding her hands out of the way with the other one. He pressed the button and sprayed her face with the gaz.
''Roxanne! Please wake up! Wake up now!'' Megamind's voice was trembling.
All of a sudden, her eyes opened. She stopped screaming, but continued to shake.
''Me... Megamind?'' inquired his girlfriend.
''Roxanne! Yes! You are awake! Minion is a genius!'', he said, with a sigh of relief. ''The knight-mare is gone!'' he added, letting go of her wrists, touching carefully her face with his hands. She looked at him, sitting astride on her, his expressive green eyes looking at her.
''Megamind!'' She sat straight up, took his small chest in her arms and cried all the tears of her body. He gently closed his arms around her, stoking her hair and her back, troubled. His shirt was getting wet, but he didn't care. It was a lot more easier to fight Metroman than to know what to do or say when the woman you love is crying.
''I was so scared...'', cried Roxanne.
''Yes. I saw that. What happenend?'', asked Megamind, wanting to know the whole truth.
''It was Hal... Titan.'' she explained. ''I was really afraid of him. Something in him was so disgusting and frightening. I hated the way he touched me or even looked at me. When... when he tried to kill me, I was truly scared''.
''But... weren't you afraid of me all those times I kidnapped you?'' asked the blue alien.
She hesitated a bit before answering. Looking at his face with her swollen blue eyes, she answered.
''At first, yes. But I quickly saw the pattern of your games and it never kept me from sleeping well.'' She suddenly look elsewhere, ashamed. ''You were so... predictable, that I wasn't afraid anymore after the forth or fifth kidnapping. It was even funny to see you try to scare me and fail inevitably.''
''Was I that predictable and boring as a super-villain?'', asked Megamind, visibly hurt to learn that.
''Predictable, yes. Boring, never,'' said Roxanne, looking back at him. ''And now... you surprise me each and everyday'', she added sincerly with a sweet smile.
''I do?'' He looked puzzled by this information. ''I really do?''
She giggled.
''Yes. And thank you. You saved me from my nightmare.''
He smiled back, glad that he had been useful to her.
''I... I will go fetch you a glass of water'', said Megamind, blushing while getting up.
''Ah!. Yes, please. It's a good idea.'' She blew her nose and dried her tears, as he hurried toward the kitchen.
