Answers to the reviewers!
Bill Gopher: Kim is her canon age. I believe that's 16.
Anon: There is some weird thing that happens when I transfer the chapter into fanfiction, causing some words to be missing and to be misspelled. But I will try to make sure it goes more smoothly.
A/N: I do need a Beta Reader!

Just the Surface
Kim sat on her bed, staring at the digital clock on her night stand. It read 11:45 PM. The teen hero had gotten home from Wisconsin at 5PM, just in time for dinner. She had been waiting almost seven hours for Shego to come through her window. The redhead knew that the villainess wouldn't allow herself to be caught by the authorities. Kim huffed and put her face in her pillow. She was on the verge of screaming over how frustrated she was for having to wait so long for Shego to get to her.
Outside of Kim's window, sitting on the tree branch, Shego was trying to stifle her laughter. She had been watching the girl for at least an hour. She narrowly escaped the authorities and went back to Drakken's lair. The villainess had reeked of cheddar and she peeled her jacket and catsuit off her body. A few pieces of cheese tumbled around her feet. She had almost thrown up at the sight of it. After thoroughly cleaning herself, Shego had thrown on a pair of black skinny jeans and a green t-shirt. Then she had headed to Kim's.
Kim's ears perked up at the soft sound of laughter coming from outside her window. She frowned and stalked towards the glass and pushed it open harshly. "It's not nice to keep a girl waiting, Shego," she spat out at the raven haired woman, who was now laughing audibly.
"Sorry, Princees," Shego chuckled as she hopped through the window and glided past the redhead. "Too good of an opportunity to pass up."
Kim huffed as she watched Shego sit on her bed. The teen took up a spot in her computer chair. The tension in the air was intense. Both Shego and Kim weren't sure what to do in that moment. They normally fought or had flirtatious banter. But kissing had been added to that list and it was confusing the hell out of them. Kim was the first to speak up.
"What is this?" she mumbled and weakly motioned between her and Shego. The villainess glowered at the teen. How the hell was she supposed to know? Shego couldn't figure anything out in the two month period that they had not seen each other, so why would she now.
"There is no this," Shego hissed. Her heart dropped to her stomach. Stop being mean to the fucking girl, her heart screamed at her. The villainess winced slightly, causing Kim to inch a little closer.
"Well obviously there is, Shego. I mean it is so the drama because I'm good and you're bad." Kim fidgeted in her chair. Honestly, to the redhead it didn't really matter if they were enemies or on opposite sides. She knew deep in her heart that they should pursue whatever this was. Shego rolled her eyes at the teen's term for the situation.
"Well as you say, if this is so the drama, what do you suppose we do about it, Pumpkin?" The pale woman had a point. What were they supposed to do about this?
Maybe I should let her know how she makes me feel…and about when I was younger, Kim pondered. Her chest clenched at the thought of letting Shego know about her youth, without full trusting the woman. Shego groaned and flopped backwards on Kim's bed. The springs squeaked under the weight. This pulled Kim out of her thoughts and she looked at the villainess. "Shego…" she mumbled and got out of her chair.
"Yes," came the sarcastic reply. Kim gulped; her mind was racing with what to do. Shego looked relaxed, yet tense, lying on her bed. The redhead couldn't decide whether to straddle and kiss the pale woman or just sit beside her and tell her what she was thinking. The teen went with the safer of the two options and sat beside Shego on her bed. The mattress creaked under the new weight, and Kim hoped that her parents couldn't hear that there were two sets of feet wandering her room.
Shego flinched away at the close proximity of Kim. Her emerald eyes raked the girl beside her. She hadn't noticed before, but the redhead was in a pair of short cotton shorts and a pink tank top that showed off her midriff. The villainess licked her lips subconsciously.
Goddamn she looks hot… even for being sixteen. Fuck, I'm such a pervert, Shego thought trying to tear her eyes away from the redhead's body.
This is NOT just for your sexual needs! Her head and heart screamed, causing Shego to finally look into the confused olive eyes that had been watching her. Kim was blushing slightly and dove under her duvet to hide her appearance from the raven haired woman's eyes. This caused Shego to laugh.
"What's so funny!?" Kim growled.
"Your reaction to being checked out was far different earlier today," the pale woman chuckled.
"That's because I was in my mission gear and not my pjs. And you ran into a bunch of crates staring at me, so it was funny." Kim was starting to blush more and Shego found it humorous to watch the confident teen get flustered. "Anyways, we were trying to figure whatever this is between us."
Shego frowned; she had hoped to avoid having a conversation with the redhead. She lowered her head, causing her black hair to hide her face. Kim huffed and decided that the safer option to talk to Shego wasn't working. She wiggled her feet closer to the villainess and kicked her in the ass. Shego yelped and bounced off the bed, and into a fighting position. Kim started snickering and got out of her bed. She walked towards the villainess and grabbed her by the wrists. Shego tensed up at the touch, her head pounded against her ribs.
Kim looked Shego right in the eyes and maneuvered the pale woman so that her back was towards the bed. "If you aren't going to talk to me, then I'll just have to try something else." The redhead pushed Shego onto the bed. The moment Shego's wrists were no longer in her hands; Kim felt the intensity of the throbbing in her chest as it hit her like a truck. Her knees buckled and she almost lost her balance. The pain in her chest was unbearable.
The redhead keeled forward, on the edge of unconsciousness, as Shego moved fast and caught the girl in her arms. She had felt the sudden surge of pain, but with her comet powers, she didn't lose all her energy like Kim had. "Why does this keep happening?" The villainess grumbled as she lifted Kim back onto the bed. Kim's eyes fluttered open and she mumbled something. "What was that?"
"S'ad, it hurts when I'm not near you. Hurts to look at you. But feels right to kiss you," Kim slurred, the pain in her chest still unbearable, but fading. Shego looked at the girl blankly and sighed. She brought Kim close to her and allowed the teen to rest her head on her shoulder. This caused Kim to melt into her and close her eyes.
"I know how you feel there, Kimmie," Shego commented, causing Kim's eyes to flash open. She couldn't believe that the pale woman holding her could actually admit her feelings. Shego gave off a very guarded front and yet she told Kim something that the redhead only assumed was very hard to get out of her mouth. The villainess's eyes were no longer hardened emerald orbs, but were softer as she gazed down at the teen.
"Did you just have some sort of emotion, Shego?" Kim giggled as Shego's face contorted in fear at realizing what she had said. The raven haired woman flinched and moved to go towards the window, but was stopped by Kim putting her full weight on her side. "Shego… you can't just bail every time you say something meaningful!" Her olive eyes watered as she felt the villainess try to jerk away from her.
"I'm not going to play girlfriends with some brat four years younger than me!" Shego snapped and jerked her arm away from the redhead. The next moment, Kim was in tears and Shego crumpled to the floor, her breaths coming out staggered. She had been hit with the must unbearable pain she had ever experienced. The teary eyed redhead's tears subsided as she looked at her enemy lying on the ground in a heap panting.
"Shego?" Kim whimpered and sat beside the pale woman on the floor. She placed her hand on the older woman's shoulder. Shego shuddered and flinched slightly at the girl's touch. They sat there for a moment. Shego was regaining from what had happened. She didn't hear that Kim had called her name because her mind was going a million miles a minute.
Can I feel her emotions? She started crying and I was filled with that intense pain. What the fuck is going on?! Did I mean to snap on her? I was so kind moments before… fuck my chest kills… is she touching my shoulder? Wait… did Kimmie call my name?
"Shego?" This time Kim nudged the pale woman a little. Shego snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the redhead. The teen's eyes were filled with sorrow and what one would assume to be physical pain. They didn't hold any of the bright youth and spunk that the villainess knew that Kim had. There was nothing but agony being held in her eyes. This caused a lump in Shego's throat. She didn't know what to do, and her steely stubborn exterior was getting in the way of the villainess doing what she actually wanted to do to comfort the redhead.
Kim was about to call the villainess's name again, but as she opened her mouth Shego closed the short distance between them and slipped her tongue roughly into the redhead's mouth. The pale woman wasn't going off of emotions-it was too soon for that-but on instinct. She knew that both she and Kim needed the physical contact of a kiss to make the pain they both felt go away, so she went for it.
Kim went into shock momentarily. The warmth of Shego's tongue slipping into her mouth and running softly inside her mouth had stunned her. She was trying to figure out what range of emotion the villainess was putting into this kiss, but as soon as Kim felt Shego's hand in her crimson locks, she melted into the black lips against hers.
When their tongues met in a dance, Kim groaned into the kiss. Shego stiffened at the noise and broke the kiss. The redhead whimpered quietly, her lip quivering. "What do you want this to be, Cupcake?" Shego said, her tone becoming serious. She was at her wits end by the end of the kiss, willing to give into whatever the teen hero wanted.
Kim stared blankly at the comet powered beauty. Her eyes got wide at the question. What did she want this to be? I've essentially been in love with this woman since I was twelve, Kim processed, maybe we should just be…
"Together," Kim blurted out.
Shego raised an eyebrow at the girl. "More of an explanation would be nice, Princess."
Kim blushed, "I know we kind of only really met a while ago, but I think we show like, be together. Ya know? Or pursue being together. I mean… when I'm not around you, there is this dull throbbing in my chest that doesn't go away until I see you again. It's like my heart breaks when I'm away from you." Shego watched Kim as she continued. "I…uhm… I don't know how you feel… but you collapsed on the floor when I started crying…maybe we're connected or something." The redhead mumbled the last bit, looking down sheepishly.
Shego stayed quiet for a few moments, processing what Kim had just said. There were many factors that were against them if they decided to pursue this 'relationship'. She wasn't sure what to call it and if anything, it might become just that. Shego let out a frustrated groan and looked at Kim, making eye contact.
"We're like separate entities when it comes to us working," Shego grumbled, "I mean doing the villain/hero thing. If we start this thing… being together… you can't get hurt by the things that happen while I am working for Dr.D." Kim nodded slowly, a smiling starting to grow. "And no holding back when we fight; we both know that we can handle the blows, and honestly, it helps me relax." As she finished, Shego smiled softly. Although very out of character for her to do so, she felt like she needed to show the teenager that she was genuine in trying this out.
Kim's whole body was buzzing with excitement. She was fighting every muscle in her body to tackle the pale woman in front of her. She moved slowly and got under the duvet, wiggling to the side enough and motioning for Shego to join her. This caused the villainess to crack a smile and she clambered to her feet, removing her shoes. Shego slide in beside Kim and pulled the redhead close to her. The teen snuggled into her arms, but not before looking into the burning emerald eyes of her enemy.
"So what exactly do we call what we are?" The redhead blushed at having to ask an obvious question. Shego chuckled and kissed Kim.
"I believe we are called a couple, Kimmie," the villainess muttered into the kiss. Kim smiled and nestled closer to the pale woman. The warmth radiating off of Shego didn't bother the girl as she dozed off to sleep. Shego was not far behind the girl in falling to sleep. But she was determined to find out about the 'connection' they shared, and why it affected her so.
A/N: The next chapter might be short like this on because I want to steer away from the episodes for at least one more chapter to give a bit more to the plot and build Kim and Shego's relationship in between the episodes.
A/N #2: Thinking of making a fanfic for Harry Potter. Torn between shipping Hermione/Narcissa or Hermione/Bellatrix (it might be a quickie). Or writing a more supernatural Kim Possible with werewolves and vamps.
