Chapter 7

Kaitlin yawned and blinked sleepily, sitting up. She looked around, confused for a moment, than last nights memories came flooding back to her. She smiled, than yawned again.

Megamind stirred beside her, rolling away from the sunlight streaming through the window. Kaitlin grinned, and her heart started to race again at the sight of Megamind curled up next to her.

Head spinning, she felt like she was going to explode from excitement. Megamind had admitted to liking her more than just a friend.

"Megamind, incredibly handsome criminal genius and master of all villainy and Kaitlin Merando…supervillain's assistant, have recognized their feelings and admitted to falling in luh-uve." She said to herself, managing to make love two words as she closed her eyes and grinned madly.

"Oh, have they?" A familiar voice asked from beside her.

Kaitlin jumped and spun to look at him, blushing furiously. "I mean…if that's okay…with you, heh…"

Megamind smirked and replied, "Sure it is."

Her eyes sparkled and she leaned closer, rocking back and forth on her knees as he propped himself up on his elbow. "It is?" She asked.

"Of course. But, let's keep it between me and you…and Minion for now, okay?"

She smiled. "Okay."

Then, Megamind stood up and took her hand. "Let us go eat brake-fast." He said, smiling back at his girlfriend and gently kissing the back of her hand.

"Minion, there's been something I've-we, really have been meaning to tell you." Megamind said over his waffle, peanut butter covered.

"Yes?" Minion replied, smiling.

"I…well, Kaitlin and I have decided that we would like to have a…" Megamind struggled for the right words.

Minion's face paled and his breath caught. "A what? A contest? A party? A baby? Oh no! Sir, how-why? Why didn't you tell me?" The fish went into a state of frenzied panic, dropping the carton of milk onto the counter.

"What?" Megamind yelped, eyes wide. "No!"

Minion obviously looked relieved at his statement. "Good. Geez, you guys worried me there."

"Well, we would like to change our relationship into…" Again Megamind struggled for words.

"We want to start dating." Kaitlin supplied.

"What?" Minion shrieked.

The pair cringed. "Well…yeah, what she said…" Megamind muttered.

"How? Sir, why don't you ever tell me when things like these happen?" Minion demanded.

"I'm sorry! It's just- oh, I don't know…" Megamind groaned, rubbing his temples.

"Why? Why do you-? You can't go out with someone! You're a bad guy!" Minion went into a panic, clawing at his fishbowl and doing flips inside it.

Megamind jumped up and grabbed his robotic shoulders. "Minion! Calm down!" He shouted, shaking him.

Minion hesitated, calming down a little. "When did you decide this?" He asked, narrowing his eyes and scrutinizing them.

"Uh…last night?" Megamind tried, releasing him.

"Oh, when you were going to 'carry her up to the futon'. I see, sir." Minion frowned at them. "You just wanted to get alone so you could tell her, right?"

"Um…yeasss…no? Kind of?" Megamind groaned again and slumped back down into his chair.

"Now what? What are we going to tell the public? It will get out sooner or later, you know." Minion fretted.

"I don't know." Kaitlin said. "Maybe we could…oh, who knows."

Megamind flopped forwards and put his elbows on the table. "Why can't I still be bad and have a girlfriend at the same time?" He muttered to his waffle.

"You can." Both Minion and Megamind turned to look at Kaitlin. "We just have to keep it a secret."

They considered this for a moment, than agreed.

Kaitlin smiled up at him as he walked into the living room. "Hey." She greeted, trying to act nonchalant.

"Ollo, love." He replied, returning the smile as he approached her.

Kaitlin stood and closed the gap between them by walking over to him. "What do you want to do later?" She asked.

He shrugged. "Anything, I guess…"

She waited for him to initiate some physical contact. This far into their relationship, as early as it was, he should've at least hugged her. But, then again, this was the first affection he'd ever gotten, so Kaitlin went easy on him.

Before she responded, she threw herself into his arms and nuzzled into his chest. He stiffened in surprise, going ridged against her as she held him tightly.

Trembling slightly, he slowly wrapped his arms around her, one at her waist and one on her shoulders. He relaxed, and the trembling seeped out of his limbs. She felt, rather then heard him sigh in pleasure as she leaned more of her weight against him.

When Kaitlin finally pulled away, she smiled again and sat on the edge of the futon. Megamind followed her and sat at her side, carefully putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Man, I love you." Kaitlin said, not even thinking about the words as they came out.

Megamind's breath hitched. "What?"

"Huh?" She asked, glancing at him.

"Nothing…I uh…Minion said it's almost time for dinner."

"Oh." There was a brief pause before she said, "He still doesn't like me very much, does he?"

"No. He thinks I can only be the bad guy and I can't have a girlfriend."

"Too bad for him." Kaitlin growled, impatiently kissing him on the cheek.

Megamind kicked off the dashboard and slowly spun in a circle in his leather executive chair. He twirled his pencil in his fingers and started humming Teenage Dream to himself.

The familiar creak of the door reached his ears and he stopped himself spinning. Kaitlin walked in, and he grinned.

"Miss Merando, we meet again." He said maliciously.

She smirked as he swiveled around to face her. "Watcha' doing?" She inquired.

"Oh, nothing…just planning something." He said, avoiding the answer.

"Really?" She asked, grinning and strolling closer. "Then what's this?" She demanded, launching herself towards him and snatching the piece of paper out of his hands before he could react.

"Ack!" He shrieked, jumping to his feet as she nimbly dodged him. "Give that back!"

Kaitlin giggled and spun away from him, un-folding it. "Never! Let's see…it says…"

She skidded away from him and darted to the other side of the room. "Ha! It says…hey!" She shouted indignantly. "This is mine!"

"Is not!" He retorted. "It's about me, so it's mine!"

"But I wrote it, and it's about me, too!" As she responded, he managed to tackle her to the floor.

"Give it back, it's mine!" He yelled as they wrestled.

"No!" She squirmed out of his grip and jumped into his chair.

He followed her and grabbed the armrests on either side of her; too late she realized her mistake. Kaitlin glared up at him, panting. Megamind sneered and offered his hand.

In response, she stuck her tongue out and pressed harder against the chair to get away from him as they were enveloped in the folds of his cape. He sighed and said, "Give it back, Kaiti."

She hesitated. "You remembered?" She asked, surprised.

"Of course I remember!" He scoffed sulkily.

"But I only mentioned it once, weeks ago!" She exclaimed, not able to prevent a smile from spreading across her face.

"I remember everything about you." He answered.

"Oh, yeah? What's my girl cousin's name?" She asked smugly.

"Abigail." He responded immediately.

Kaitlin's jaw dropped. "How did you know that? I never told you!" She demanded.

"Yes you did. You mentioned it once when we were watching CSI." He said, smirking.

"Wow, Smurf Boy, you have a really good memory." Her smile widened and shook her head.

"I only remember things worth remembering." He grinned back.

Her smile widened. "Ooh, witty catch-line!" She giggled and leaned forward.

Megamind backed away slightly, still not used to the prospect of being so close to someone under normal circumstances. Kaitlin reached up and grabbed the clasps of his cape, pulling him back towards her. His eyes widened.

"Where'd you learn that one?" She growled, narrowing her eyes.

"Uh…" He struggled to come up with an answer.

Kaitlin suddenly let go and un-crumpled the piece of paper. "You see this?" She demanded, shoving it close to his face.

"Yes." He immediately replied, the familiar hearts and names clicking in his head.

"This means I love you." She murmured softly, changing her tone of voice completely. He gulped, jade eyes catching the lights of the Lair and shining intensely as he tried to comprehend what she'd said.

It was the first time anyone had ever told him that. Not even Minion had actually said it. Megamind hesitated, unsure what to say.

"And since you love me too… right?" She prompted, dropping the piece of paper on the floor.

He nodded, out of breath, the soft fabric of his cape brushing against their arms.

"Well, since we're in love, that gives us permission to kiss." She announced, grinning deviously.

Megamind's breath caught and he backed away as she stood up, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. She moved closer, and he nervously licked his lips.

Her expression softened as the folds of his cape enveloped them and she closed her eyes. She tilted her head back and leaned closer, their noses brushing. Slowly, he complied and shut his eyes as he pressed his lips against hers.

Immediately she kissed him back, and the sensation he had gotten when he'd run into her for the second time was magnified a million times over. Megamind squeezed his eyes shut and threw himself into it, winding his arms tightly around her waist.

Kaitlin let her eyes flicker open for a second, the feeling of Megamind holding her close giving her goosebumps. They were still connected at the lips, and it didn't seem like he wanted to let go anytime soon.

It almost looked like he was in pain, the anguish of so many years having only one friend and being hated by everyone else coming out in that one movement. He throwing himself out into the open, in a position that he could so easily be hurt in. He was taking a huge chance by letting her in.

Megamind wasn't able to stop himself, and Kaitlin didn't want him to. She slowly took control and broke away, giving him a last short little kiss by gently brushing her lips against his.

Megamind looked at her, panting for breath, not only from lack of air, but to force his racing heart to slow down. His jade green eyes were wide, meeting with her sea-blue eyes. Kaitlin took a deep breath and smiled, touching their noses together gently.

Her arms loosened around his neck, and she slowly un-tangled her self. Megamind reluctantly let go of her waist, as if he wasn't sure if she was going to outright reject him right there.

Kaitlin didn't back away as soon as he let go, but instead gently reached down and interlaced their fingers. He glanced down, trembling slightly, his breath short as he struggled to remain in control. He squeezed his eyes shut again; resisting the urge to ask her if she hated him.

"Megamind…" She whispered.

He opened his eyes and looked down at her hopefully, begging her to keep him.

"You're a really good kisser." She announced, grinning and resting her head against his chest.

He didn't realize he had been holding his breath until it came rushing out of his lungs in a heavy sigh of relief.

He closed his eyes briefly before replying hesitantly, "That was…" His trembling increased velocity as he struggled for words and breath.

Kaitlin looked up at him through her eyelashes, smiling. "Great?" She supplied.

He nodded, returning the smile and opening his eyes. Then, he freed his hand and pulled her to him, ignoring the throbbing pain in his chest. It was beating so hard and fast, it felt like it was going to pound out of his chest. Kaitlin let her eyes drift shut as he steered her to his chair.

He sat down and pulled her into his lap, trying to gauge her reaction. She snuggled into his chest and hooked her legs over the armrest, loosely resting her hands on his shoulders.

Megamind closed his eyes and gently traced her jawline, obsessing over how beautiful she seemed to him. Kaitlin was to busy accustoming herself to the soft, worn leather against her cheek to notice the miserable, wounded way he was looking at her.

He sighed heavily and she glanced up at him. "You okay?" She inquired, resting one of her hands on his angular cheek.

She hooked her thumb under his curved jaw and absentmindly stroked his slender goatee. Megamind sighed again and said softly, "You don't know how hard this is for me."

"Why is it hard?" She asked, her eyes suddenly searching his.

"Because I'm the bad guy. I don't save the day, I don't fly off into the sunset, and I most definitely don't get the girl." His brow came down, dark above his eyes as he attempted to figure out why his emotions were churning so quickly.

"Well…maybe you aren't so bad after all." She replied.

He groaned. "So much has changed…nothing I've ever known has ever made me feel this way!" He exclaimed, frustrated for reasons she couldn't comprehend. "I never thought I'd be here. How can I explain it when I don't know what to say?"

Kaitlin leaned up and gently pressed her lips to his. She kept it short and sweet, just to remind him of the way she felt about him. She broke away quickly and murmured, "You don't need to explain anything."

He moaned softly, the trembling returning as he let his hands drop to the armrest behind her on his left and her knees on his right. Kaitlin leaned against him, the solid warmth of her head on his chest offering up some comfort for the blue-skinned villain.

"Why do you like me?" He asked suddenly, curiosity proving the better of him.

Kaitlin paused. She didn't know why she liked Megamind; she just knew that she did like him. It was just some connection they'd met when they first met.

"Love at first sight, I guess." She said.

Megamind's eyes widened. "Yeah…"

He sighed. "Kaitlin I love you." He declared.

She smiled. "And I love you, Megamind."
