This wasn't ideal... I was only going to come here and call her out on her bullshit! Now I'm stuck, this beautiful woman clinging onto my aching body as if her life depends on it. Who knows, maybe a part of it does? No, her lips were on Stoppable, don't let her fool you! It's like my anger has it's own voice inside my head, and it sure can be quite fucking loud. "Five minutes, no more, no less. If you haven't gotten a good explanation by then, I'm leaving." She knows the end of that sentence is really, 'and you won't ever find me.' but I refuse to say it out loud, knowing deep down it would really upset her... not... that I care...
"The whole time was awkward... he didn't want to kiss me but he was so scared. While I never should have allowed it at all we both immediately regretted it, and agreed to pretend it never happened. We are just friends and we only did it, to reiterate, because we were scared, the pressure is on, everyone thinks we should be together, but we never talked to each other so we both thought maybe the other wanted more and it's all just so confusing..." She pauses a moment, catching her breath, "The gist of it is, we didn't want to lose each other as friends, so it happened, we didn't enjoy a single second of it, and we are still friends." Her words still come so fast, even after the breather, I have a hard time sorting the mass of information out, her doe eyes staring up at me expectantly. Noticing she hasn't let go of me I slowly begin the process of extrication. It proves to only to make her grip what's left of my suit tighter, "Easy..." I whisper, her fingers loosening the slightest bit, enough to let me take a step back. She babbles on still, finding the most random excuses to attach, thinking I'm still not buying it, "I also wanted to see, to make sure that I'm attracted to...girls... well specifically you." Her head hangs but her eyes continue to watch me move further into her room, a few inaudible words kept to herself as she follows closely, "I finally got a chance, it's taken this long for me to even realize I liked you, then the kiss... those kisses... I-I just finally got the chance and now it's totally blown, I almost... I almost killed you Shego..." I shrug a little, thunder and lightning still bellow and light the room, I see the tears in her eyes. I'll admit, that sight was awful, almost as bad as that puppy dog pout she uses, "All I wanted to do all night is come find you..." Her voice stays soft, the tears drip down her cheeks, "but there was always someone watching, always someone butting in." Hands lifting to her face she tentatively wipes away what doesn't belong, careful not to get her make-up in her eyes. "Time's up." I breathe, making those eyes widen, "So I need a change of clothes, and a bath, then we can talk about bandages, since you owe me." I let a soft smirk pull at my lips, her relief unending as she near jumps at me, wrapping me up in another hug, "Easy!" I hiss again, though the pain is my own doing, old habits of tensing around her hard to ignore. After a heartbeat she dashes into her wardrobe, head popping out a moment later, "Please... don't leave while I'm in here, or the bathroom getting your bath ready." It's vulnerable, and I choose not to take advantage of it, giving a small nod I drive my point home and cross my legs, sitting slowly in the middle of her floor.
"After the bath I'm so out of here, by that time my glow will have healed me enough that I can be..." My words falter as she walks back in, her prom dress traded for a revealing pair of shorts along with a comfy looking tank top, leaving very little to the imagination. The look I have on my face must give me away, because now she's smirking, "You can't leave after the bath, I need to bandage you and look after you to make sure that insane amount of electricity hasn't done any lasting damage. Honestly I'm surprised you're not..." Her breath hitches as she catches herself, and before anything else can happen I swiftly move to her, gentle figers catching the tear that dares to attempt taint her cheek once again, "Hey... hush now, I'm right here, don't think those things." My body aches, head swims, and hands shake from the rapid ascent, but I keep it together long enough for the tension to abate from her shoulders. "Bath time?" She merely nods, probably not trusting her voice yet, heading in we stand there... and stand there... the awkwardness beginning to rise, "Uh... Princess? Get out." To my complete horror she shakes her head, settling atop the toilet, "My parents might come up, and I can't be in my bedroom if this door is locked." From the beginning of the sentence to the end her face colors and gets darker with every single syllable. Oh Kimmie, you are too cute.
"Might as well get used to seeing me naked now, if you're actually going to bandage me you're going to have to look anyway." Her teasing has been relentless, and she is finally ready to get out and cover herself. "Pumpkin..." I turn to the side, only to find her smirking at me, "You didn't bring me clothes." My eyes widen, and I practically fall out of the bathroom in my scramble to get away. Instead of waiting she follows, her towel audibly hitting the ground as I shut the door. If she wants to play that way, fine... I hesitate, then I turn, ready to look at her in all of her glory. That sneaky little... she has a pair of black lace underwear and a matching bra on. I deflate right in front of her, and all she can do is laugh, a real unabashed laugh, it's music to my ears. Before I can lose myself...again... I grab up the salve created specifically by GJ for me. Marching towards her I dollop my finger into it and plop a large bit right on her forehead. She gasps, "Kimmie!" Her hand lifts to swipe it away, "Buzz off, I'm putting it on, not you." Trying to snatch the jar it would seem she is still a bit slow, I easily evade her, "Ah ah ah! Stop moving so I can get it done and you can get some clother on." I set her with a stare like daggers, "You couldn't twist to do any of the wounds on the back anyway, so just hush and turn around." Thankfully she doesn't argue, the rest of the 'helping' goes without incident, only a lingering hand here and there... What?! Her skin is so soft... Anyway...
Lifting the clothes I've chosen she shakes her head, "Oh no, I'm not wearing pajamas, no cute little sleepovers, Kimmie, I need street clothes. You know the ones I'm talking about, ones I can actually get home in." I can't help my bottom lip from bumping out, my hands clasping gently in front of me, and my eyes going wide, "Shego... you can't go home, you're still hurt and it's all my fault, just stay one night, I promise I will ask no more than that." I know I've won when she can't take her eyes off me, "Stop with that awful look, it's like you're a puppy and I've kicked you or something, and I might be evil, but I would never EVER kick a puppy." She crosses her arms with a huff, and I feel my smile return full force, "Go on and get in bed, no funny business!" My finger points towards my own bed of it's own volition, cheeks already feiry for the snarky remark I know is coming from he-..." I don't put out on the first date, Princess, not that we even got to the date part." I stick my tongue out at her, "Move it!" The words come out stronger than I meant them, but it does the trick, "Sheesh! Fine! And you don't have to worry about hands, I will stay on my side of the bed, I respect you more than to try and mess around with you." Her smirk is matched with mine, and with the pajamas firmly on her body she crawls into bed slow, minding the limits of her body. "Spankin'!" I say right as she bends to get under the covers...and the color is right back to my cheeks...
Nothing happened, surprisingly enough Shego kept to her words and kept her hands off, I'm more than elated for it. My mind however, is less than pleased, keeping all of the thoughts of what we COULD be doing firmly at the front until I could will myself to sleep. What? I'm a human, a female to be more exact, and a healthy one with healthy... you know what, I don't know why I have to explain myself, hmph. Now here I am, having gravitated to her warmth, with my arms tucked in front of me, our legs intertwined, and my face nuzzled gently into her neck. "Sleep well?" Is whispered against my ear, goosebumps erupting down my neck, "I did, now get off me so I can check those wounds before you come to your senses and take off." Regret is the first feeling as my warmth is taken, a moment later I hear her on the phone, "What do you mean, why? Just get your ass here in the next fifteen minutes." Her tone leaves no room for argument, snapping the phone shut without another word. Just before I'm going to open my eyes and look towards her I hear her clothes hit the floor, and my eyes squeeze shut again, "Hey, come on pumpkin, you made me get out of bed and now you're not getting up? I guess I will just not let you check these wounds and put my suit ba-" Before she can even finish I am up and grabbing the jar again as I walk over and start unbandaging the beautiful skin, "Wow, that glow really works wonders huh?" With a nod she smiles, emerald eyes trained on me, it makes mine a little more sheepish, but it's a smile nonetheless, "It's not completely better, but it is significant." Hands already working the salve and fresh wraps into place I cautiously pat her shoulder when I'm done, "What, no kiss better this time?" Hiding my smirk I lean over and kiss where my hand had just been, I swear I see her shiver. Shego pulls her tattered suit on, "Thanks for the help, Princess." With a wink and a small wave, she is out the window before I have any time to respond. Her hand is wrapped around a ladder attached to seemingly nothing, but I know better, watching until she has flown out of sight.
