Shego woke with a mild inhale when she felt Drakken's fingers move through her hair, she was still curled into his side a bit sweaty but comfortable nonetheless. Drakken touched her not really in a sexual way but more in the manner of a man who denied himself the basic of human pleasures let alone sex; a child like exploration his fingers drifted through her hair down the small of her back then over her ribs, breasts, and came to rest on her shoulders, Shego closed her eyes and inhaled at his touch, this level of intimacy was unfamiliar to her. Drakken pulled her closer and kissed her forehead and left a lingering kiss on her lips. He loved her intoxicating warmth her body was always two to four degrees higher than a normal human being due to her powers, and he liked that, no, he loved it. The sunrise was only an hour away and Drakken was glad to have opted for his mother's home in NYC in Flushing, Queens. He sat up slowly taking stock of all the clothing strewn across the floor, bits and pieces of last night flooded his mind and he found himself to be mildly ashamed of his actions.
Shego stroked his back and sat up next to him, they were both nude but felt no awkwardness between them, far from it. They spoke in mostly gestures a caress here, a soul searing look there. They lay together in their own cocoon of contentment, trust and love, where only they existed. Drakken wrapped a light sheet around her body and picked her up off the bed. Drakken gave a glancing kiss to her forehead and carried her out onto the balcony and sat down on the deck chair.
She gave him a puzzled look; he simply motioned his head to the horizon, he guesstimated that the sun was about a minute or two from rising. Sure he knew the scientific aspect of it but he never really watched the sun rise ever. He devoted his life to science and pretty much spend most of his adult life in villainy. He cradled Shego tighter with the sunrise; he wasted so much time not living. With the rise of the sun he made a decision that he thought he would never have the chance to make.
"Shego, marry me?"
She nodded and shifted herself over straddling him and kissing him in a slow haze of love making. They would have each other until his end.
