Just a quick note, I know I have been "building up" to the big heartache moment but it's going to be a little bit longer. The reason I really wanted to make a solid relationship between Kim and Ron that way when the "time" comes, it makes seeing the event that much more harder because of how strong you've seen Kim and Ron become. I also want to make mention that there's more song lyrics in here, and there will be more coming soon. I normally don't use this many songs in one fic but I felt it was necessary for this story, also, be warned there will be some sexual content in this chapter. Also note, I do not take ANY CREDIT for lyrics to Elvis Presley's "Can't help falling in love" song. Enjoy, bye for now!
No more waiting
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M FIRED?" the Red Dragon howled, flipping a table across the room and shattering it into a million pieces.
Drakken and Shego flinched at the samurai warrior's sudden outburst. The doctor had just terminated Red Dragon's contract on Kim Possible's life. Shego smirked as she watched the armored hit man grasp his black palm gloves in obvious anger over this recent development. Though a little nervous, Drakken approached Dragon and remained firm on his position.
Drakken nervously avoided eye contact with the assassin "Y-y-you heard me; you're fired, finite, finished, done, off the case and all that other jazz."
Red Dragon growled bitterly "Are you insane?! I didn't spend all my time tracking, observing, and plotting Kim Possible's glorious demise just for you to fire me when I am this close."
Drakken crossed his blue suit arms over his chest and simply turned his nose up to Dragon, his blue lips curved into a pout "Too bad. The only thing you did was waste my time; you didn't even give Kim Possible a paper cut for crying out loud. I hired you for one simple job: KILL her not watch her like a hawk and babble about some stupid poetic victory dance."
The samurai hissed in reply "Cease your pointless insults you fool, I do not question your so called methods, so who the hell are you to question mine?"
Drakken rolled his eyes and slapped his face with his black leather glove as he groaned "Oh give me a break. I've made up my mind and you're not getting as much as a nickel from me, I'm sick and tired of waiting for you to put her out of my misery because of some dramatic irony thing."
Red Dragon cackled behind his emotionless red mask "Killing Kim Possible out right in cold blood would be an insult to someone of my honor and reputation. Just walking up to her and cutting her throat would be disgraceful, it lacks poetry and style. Something neither of you idle brained nit wits would know anything about, especially that grass stain you call a henchwoman."
Shego's eyes and cheeks flared wide open at the sudden attack on her, she flared glowing green energy flares across her fists as she was just about to jump the red samurai and make him pay for that remark. Surprisingly though, Drakken walked right up to Red's face and grabbed his chest with his black gloved hands.
Dr. Drakken shouted angrily in Dragon's face "HEY, you can't talk to my sidekick that way, iron ass. She's gotten closer to killing Kim Possible then you ever did. At least she does what she's told…….well for the most part anyway she mouths off to me……but STILL she's worth every dollar I pay her which is more then I can say for you."
The black haired Shego was taken back, her talon like fingertips curiously scratching her raven colored hair locks at Drakken's words. Shego couldn't believe it but dumb old Dr. D was actually defending her. The ruthless girl almost couldn't believe she saw Drakken do that. A small smile like smirk formed on Shego's lips as she looked at the blue faced mad man.
Drakken continued to shout at the armored warrior "Now pack your bags, hit the road and get out of here so Shego and I can finish the job you couldn't finish."
Shego crossed her arms and grinned to her employer "Hey, thanks Dr. D, I didn't think you had the brains to be decent."
Drakken blinked curiously at Shego "Uh thank you……I think?"
Red Dragon growled as he suddenly reached out and crushed his metallic red knuckles across Drakken's blue throat, Shego gasped as Dr. Drakken was jerked off his feet into the air. The samurai frowned behind his emotionless, lifeless metal mask as he watched Drakken helplessly squirm and struggle for his life as Dragon choked him. Shego flared her fists back into fireball mode as she leapt at Red Dragon and aimed her hands at his face.
Shego quickly shouted "Hey put him down, right NOW tin man."
The armored assassin didn't reply he simply glared his purple eyes more intensely as Drakken struggled to breathe while the armored digits crushed even tighter. Shego grappled the warrior's crushing arm and started to yank and pull on him.
Shego growled as her fiery fists grew brighter, "I'm not going to tell you twice asshole."
Red Dragon launched out a second hand and suddenly grabbed Shego's throat, she gagged and wheezed as she too was now having the air literally crushed out of her body. Drakken and Shego weakly looked to each other, seeing their helpless eyes widen with fear as the merciless Red Dragon snarled at their faces behind the mask. Both villains were completely helpless to stop this maniac and there was nothing either one of them could do about it.
Dragon angrily sneered at both of the terrified villains faces "Just who the hell do you think you're talking to you morons? Do you think I'm one of your brain dead, boot licking flunkies' doctor? You have no idea of who or what I am and I'm not going to sit by and let your idiotic impulsiveness rob me of my moment of glory. Keep your stinking money, I don't need it. This was never about the money; this was always about Kim Possible and taking her out of the picture once and for all in a spectacular and incredible defeat that will make me a true living legend.
Now, I'm going to take her out at my own pace and on my own terms, and if either of you ignorant peons dare to try and interfere with that, I swear that you will both know the taste of my blade when I drive it through your chests, good day."
Red Dragon dropped both Shego and Drakken and turned around, leaving the two villains gasping for air as he exited the lair and slammed the door shut behind him. Shego groaned as she rubbed her neck around her black and green collar.
Drakken groaned in annoyance "Well this is just dandy, now we got a samurai nut job to deal with and Kim Possible. I swear the minute I call his agency he is SO getting negative feedback."
Shego rolled her eyes and crossed her black/green suited arms over her breasts as she said "You know this is the kind of situations I told you so's were invented for. Yeah, I think it is, because something about this set up just screams I told you so. Wouldn't you agree doctor DUMB ASS?"
Drakken angrily replied "All right fine, you've made your point, so let's skip the replay and fast forward to the task at hand. We've got to take care of Kim Possible before that loose cannon dragon does."
Shego hummed as she scratched her chin "Not that I'm complaining but, wouldn't it be smarter to just sit back and let him kill her? I mean this way it doesn't cost you a dime."
Drakken shook his head bitterly "No way, he had plenty of chances to whack her and he blew it. He doesn't deserve any favors and besides, this is your one chance to settle your score with Kim Possible and beat Dragon breath to the punch."
Shego smiled brightly at this idea, idly rubbing her chin with her gloved hands. For once, the dark doctor was making sense. Shego did want to get back at Red Dragon for showing off her underwear to Drakken, and making her look like a total fool. In addition, by taking Kim Possible out before Red Dragon does, she can prove she's the best and steal the "ultimate victory" Dragon was looking for in the first place.
Shego grinned at the idea and eagerly punched her palm. "Oh yeah, sounds like a plan to me, never thought I'd actually say this Dr. D but that's pretty smart thinking."
The black haired girl suddenly realized she was talking to herself, she grumbled to herself. Shego looked around and found Drakken's blue butt sticking out as he was fishing through a pile of machines and tossing things over his shoulder.
Shego called "Hey blue butt, what exactly are you looking for anyway?"
Drakken snickered as he rummaged through his machine pile "Why it's simple Shego, I am looking for the one device that will allow me to lure Kim Possible into a trap and ensure her demise 100 guaranteed."
Shego just rolled her jade eyes and nodded "Uh yeah, and what makes you think anything in that junk pile of colossal failures is going to work any better than last time?"
The doctor laughed as he finally found what he was looking for, Shego looked up as Drakken proudly held out a small yellow device, with a half mangled speaker on it.
Dr. Drakken cackled wickedly "Because Shego, a good evil device is like making a painting, all it needs is the right touch and the right mind to turn it into a masterpiece and that's exactly what I plan to do."
The next day……
Kim and Ron sat in a private booth at Nacho Bueno, their rosy smiles and sparkling eyes never leaving each other's dreamy like gaze. Ever since that wonderful date yesterday at the beach, every little thing they did just seemed so much more wonderful to experience. Rufus squealed with joy as he stuffed his face with nacho cheese as he gulped down chunks of Taco down his pink gullet.
Kim smirked "You know Ron; I think I'm finally starting to see the charm in this place."
Ron smiled as he felt Kim's hand gently wrap around his across the table, the blond boy blushed lightly and replied "Never thought I'd have a girlfriend who accepted me hanging out here, or accepted me in general."
The cheerleader smiled, leaned in, and kissed Ron's lips with a sweet smack of her soft pink tongue. Ron returned the kiss, chuckled as he saw Kim's lips curve at the tasting of some cheese on Ron's lips, and freckled face. Ron laughed and wiped his mouth clean with a napkin.
"Oh gag me with a barf bag, I thought there were laws against indecent exposure" a nagging voice from behind said.
Ron and Kim turned to see Bonnie standing across from them with a food tray in her hand, the girl had her prissy, expensive lipstick coated lips curled into her usual scowling frown. Kim giggled a little seeing a rather large black spot on Bonnie's eye.
"It's bad enough you two have hooked up, the last thing Middleton needs is to see you make puppy eyes and kissy noises at each other in public" Bonnie snapped.
"Gee Bonnie, nice eye makeup. Tell me what shade of Mascara is that, fresh bruise?" Kim said, with a sly, foxy smirk.
Bonnie just rolled her eyes but groaned as her black eye caused her to flinch in slight pain. The snobby cheerleader walked off, not giving the young lovebirds another moment or instance of gratitude from her misery. Both Kim and Ron burst into laughter as soon as Bonnie walked away.
Ron smiled cheerfully to Kim "I just can't believe it took us so long to see this between us. I mean, it all just feels so natural, and just so cool."
Kim nodded in reply, burying her cheeks into her hands "I know it's an amazing feeling. I was always so scared and nervous about stuff like this, I always worried I wouldn't know what to do or how to handle this whole dating thing."
Ron half smiled at that remark grinning "Oh come on Kim, did you forget what your last name is all of the sudden?"
Kim casually shook her head "Easier said than done Ron. Saving the world always came first and everything else in my life came second, it comes with the hero territory. The trouble is that it makes it harder for anything else to exist like work, free time, or a social life. I guess maybe that's why dating never bothered me as much as it should have."
Ron curiously asked, crossing his arms over his chest "What do you mean KP?"
Kim replied, "Fighting bad guys is always going to be a part of my life, it's something that is always going to be with me even after graduation and getting my career. To expect a person to understand that kind of commitment and be affectionate and around to be a good girlfriend, it's almost impossible. A Possible may not have limits but other people do, and to be honest, I don't blame them."
Ron rubbed his eyes and groaned "KP come on you know that's a bogus load and don't try to tell me it's not. Lots of people have jobs that keep them busy from their spouses and lovers, and they still get along just fine."
Kim regretfully replied, "Yeah but lots of people don't have to save the world from crazy super villains and natural disasters. It's a whole other ballpark Ron."
The blond boy simply shook his hand at Kim's face and shrugged "Meh, same book different chapter. My point is you shouldn't let your world saving biz stop you from accepting a little happiness in your life, or more importantly, from letting you have future happiness. Not every guy in the world is going to bail on you just because of your hero life."
The red headed girl persisted "But its okay if they do Ron THAT is my point. You see, I'm trying to say that I don't expect you or any other guy to stick with me until the very end because I know what a problem this life can become. You've done so much for me and I love you more then you'll ever know for it, but this is a life not everyone can handle and I have to accept that. I want to be happy but I need to be responsible and it's understandable that people couldn't love me because of it. I mean, what good is a girlfriend to have if she's not even around?"
Ron raised his hands and slammed them onto the table as he screamed "OH COME ON."
The sudden scene caused people to turn and look towards Kim and Ron, the girl sheepishly blushed and tried to calm down Ron. Kim reached out and tried to pull Ron down but he slammed the table again as he looked Kim right in the eye.
Ron stood up tall, "No way, I'm not keeping quiet about this. I'm sorry KP but what you just said is total bull crap. I don't want to ever hear that kind of garbage out of your mouth again, you hear me? You are the most wonderful girl in the whole wide world and you deserve happiness more than anyone else does. You bust your balls to save other people's necks and you're telling me your okay with guys dumping you because of that? That's crap! Any guy who doesn't have the heart to stay by your side and support you in your job isn't worth dealing with.
So don't give me this you accept people not loving you, because I don't buy it. You're everything a man could want in a woman and…and…I refuse to let you think of yourself as anything but."
The people continued to stare and continued to gawk at the increasingly public scene that had only escalated with Ron's little outburst. Ron gulped as he suddenly realized he had only made things worse, he nervously scratched his hair.
"Kim I" Ron started to say, until he saw Kim stand up and leave.
The cheerleader exited the restaurant's doors without saying a word or giving the slightest trace of any kind of reaction. Ron frantically followed Kim, he called out her name, yelling and shouting to her but Kim refused to respond. Kim occasionally looked behind her but she didn't frown, smile, scowl, or even make any dagger eyes at him. Ron was beginning to get really, really worried. The pair walked to Kim's house, Kim remained silent as a grave. As the two approached Kim's front door, the red head looked behind to see Ron pleading to her.
"Please Kim, I am so, so, so sorry. Forgive me?" Ron wept to her.
Kim closed the door and said nothing, leaving Ron heartbroken and devastated. The blond boy turned his back to the door and slung his head against the door. Ron held his hands up to his face and nervously tried to stop crying.
"WHOA" Ron gasped suddenly.
The door behind him opened up and Kim's arm dragged Ron into the house. Ron turned around to find Kim near the door, her green eyes sparkling and shining as if she had solar systems in her beautiful irises. Ron didn't know what was going on. One minute Kim was giving him the silent treatment, now she is STILL giving him the silent treatment but looking at him like a baby dove.
"Look Kim, about what I said. I didn't uh I didn't mean to embarrass you like that, I just" Ron started to say.
"Did you mean what you said Ron? Please tell me, I have to know, did you honestly and truly mean what you said at Bueno Nacho Ron?" Kim asked, as if begging Ron to tell her with those pleading green eyes of hers.
The confusion of Kim's innocent yet hurtful sounding reaction left Ron speechless so he simply nodded to her. Kim's face turned bright pink and her eyes sparkled like twinkling diamonds in the midnight sky, the girl lurched forward and passionately kissed Ron with all her heart and soul. Ron gasped as his cheeks blushed flaming hot red as Kim stared dreamily at him.
"That was the single most beautiful gift you have ever given me……you really are my one true love Ronnie……I'm so blessed" Kim whispered affectionately.
"No……we both are" Ron said with a loving grin.
Kim and Ron continued to stare endlessly into each other's loving eyes before once again locking lips, and embracing a deep, powerful, and dream like kiss that set both their hearts ablaze. Kim and Ron held their hands, crooning at the warm touch and gentle feeling of their fingers skin tingling against each other. Most of the house was dark since Kim's parents were still on vacation, and the Dweebs wouldn't be back from their slumber party for another 3 hours. The young teens continued to kiss and hold each other, making it up to Kim's bedroom.
No sooner did the lovers reach the room, Ron blinked in confusion as he saw the drapes were closed, the lights were partially on, and there was a radio nearby. Ron wasn't sure what was going on until he heard a zipper sound, the boy's face turned bright red as he gulped a hard swallow. Ron nervously turned around as he saw Kim standing there, without a shirt on!
"K-K-K-K-K-KK-KP?" Ron nervously stuttered.
"Now Ron, I want to give you the single most beautiful gift too," Kim said with a seductive sigh.
Kim was standing there in her bra, her bare skin glistening smoothly in the small rays of golden sunlight partially bleeding from the closed blinds. Her breasts seemed to hypnotize Ron's eyes as his freckled cheeks turned crimson red. Kim's arms were slender and gorgeous, like the rest of her body; Ron couldn't stop freaking out as Kim wrapped her smooth, snake like arms around his neck to cradle him for another deep kiss. Ron could already hear Kim kicking her shoes and socks off. One of the shoes was kicked in the path of the radio, hitting it and turning it on.
"You know, uh Beuno Nacho bucks would be a great gift too" Ron said nervously.
"I want you to know……I have been……saving myself for the right guy…… I have been saving myself for you Ronnie, you're the right guy" Kim said, a little nervously.
Kim's words suddenly melted away all the tension and anxiety in Ron's mind; he couldn't believe what Kim was saying. Ron eased off his nerves and kissed Kim's neck tenderly, gently tingling her soft, strawberry scented skin and hair while he slowly removed his pants and footwear. Kim's pants also fell, baring her perfect, well-muscled legs that curled so affectionately around Ron's as the lovely music started to play.
Wise men say only fools rush in……
"Kim, I want this with you, I really do but, I'm just wondering do you think were rushing this?" Ron compellingly asked.
"Ever since our first mission together, I knew in my heart that I could trust my very soul with you. I was just too young to know it back then. I'm doing this because I want to, I want to do it with you most of all. Not to impress anyone, not to get anyone's approval, but for my own heart's sake. I love you Ron Stoppable and for all that you have given me, I want to give you something back, me" Kim said softly.
But I can't help falling in love with you……
"You didn't really answer my question" Ron said with a blushing laugh, appreciating her words nonetheless.
Kim giggled, looking to the ground briefly "I guess you're right. No, I don't think were rushing on it. We are together and we are in love, I trust you and you trust me, and there's no one else in this world that I would want to share my body with more then with you."
Shall I stay, would it be a sin……
If I can't help falling in love with you……
Ron and Kim smiled lovingly as they laid down upon Kim's bed, and kissed passionately to the poetic lyrics of Elvis Presley, singing over their loving touches. Kim's hands gently removed Ron's shirt while she felt Ron's massaging hands tenderly rub her leg muscles. Kim's toes curled as she felt that wonderful tingling sensation again that Ron did to her body so well. Ron and Kim laid back on the pillows and closed their eyes, kissing and feeling their hearts and lips intertwining.
Like a river flows surely to the sea……
Darling so it goes……
Some things are meant to be……
Kim and Ron's cheeks flustered with warm blushes as the panties Kim wore smoothly rubbed against Ron's chest near his waist. The boy couldn't stop thinking how wonderful Kim felt, how her body was as beautiful and smooth as he had always dreamt it to be. Kim couldn't stop smiling or sighing contently, just feeling Ron's arms around her made her feel like a baby, cuddled and warm in a loving embrace she never wanted to leave.
Take my hand, take my whole life too……
For I can't help falling in love with you……
Ron felt something in his hands, it was his wallet, a nervous gulp and blush painted his face as he removed something from it. Kim blushed as well knowing full well what it was and though feeling a bit surprised Ron had such a thing, she was glad he had it but even more glad he was using it with her.
"Do you think were ready for this?" Ron softly asked.
"I don't think so" Kim honestly said.
"Do you feel were ready for this?" Ron asked again.
"Yes……yes" Kim said happily.
The two lovers kissed, held each other close, and embraced the beautiful gift of love that they knew neither one was ready for, but wanted it more than life itself.
Like a river flows surely to the sea……
Darling so it goes……
Some things are meant to be……
Take my hand, take my whole life too……
For I can't help falling in love with you,
for I can't help falling in love with you.
To be continued……
