There is a present for everyone in here later to say sorry for not uploading for a few days! :) College is eating my soul- happily. Sorry also I tried to upload last night, but was having technical difficulties, I assume it was probably Megamind. He must've been speed reading, and having gotten caught by Roxanne was to flustered to let her know WHAT he was reading so he shut the system down. :) (Best explanation ever?)

Chapter 14: Sweet Things

He was running. Running as fast as he could go. The smell of pine exploded in his nostrils. He could barely see where he was running. There was dense foliage all around him, trees of many shapes and sizes. His custom boots were not meant for running in. But right now he didn't care.

Metro Man had taken her.

Stolen his Roxanne. But that was impossible wasn't it? Metro Man was dead. He'd killed him.

Roxanne screamed and Megamind pushed his legs to pump out faster than he thought was possible.

Barely dodging trees as he approached them, he wished that he had night vision. Curse his mortality. He had to get to her. He had to.

"Oh, Megamind! Where are you?" It was Metro Man, his voice coming from somewhere off in the distance.

"Here! Why don't you leave her alone? Whats going on?" He shouted into the darkness. He looked up to find the ocean. There was Metro Man holding Roxanne dangling by her foot high above the water, she was begging him to let her go.

"Metro Man what's gotten into you? Why are you doing this?" He heard her yell. That's good Roxanne keep him talking I'm almost there.

"What do you mean? You don't deserve this Roxanne? It was partly your fault that I died. Don't you think you should share in the punishment with Megamind?" his voice was off somehow. It was like it was Metro Man and it wasn't. What was it? He sounded strange to Megamind.

"I'm sorry, I thought together we could help him! I thought he could change for the better. You said that you would help me, I never wanted- never thought that you could ever die! I'm sorry!" she screamed to him.

What were they talking about? Help who? A citizen of Metrocity?

"Looks like he didn't want your help. You cant teach an old dog new tricks Roxanne. I cant believe I was stupid enough to help you in your girly fantasies. Just look at him, he'll never be one of us." Metro Man pointed to Megamind to emphasize his point.

What? What did that mean? Help him how?

The night sky was cloudy and now it was beginning to rain, lightning flashed in the distance as Megamind reached them. But how to get her down. They were up far too high. Megamind tried to calculate the distance from the sky to the ocean based off of the moons shadow being cast off of the cliffs and he was unhappy at the conclusion. If she were to fall it was unlikely she'd survive, even if she missed the rocks below.

"Let her go Metro Man. You want me. I destroyed you, not her. I was the one who planned and plotted. She was all apart of that. I manipulated her into helping me. It's what I do, sure it took some time. But the outcome was worth it." He spread his hands in a wide gesture gaining the attention of the hero that he sought.

Metro Man looked thoughtful for a moment. And Megamind was sure that he was going to release Roxanne, until she blurted, "NO! He did not trick me, I asked you of my own free will. I wanted your help. I thought that if anyone could be able to help me get through to him it would be you!"

Drat. Why'd she have to pull his attention back to her? "That's not true!" he feebly screamed up at them.

"Shut up Megamind! This is between me and Metro Man, just go away!" She screamed down to him.

"That's silly, Roxanne! You'd never hurt a fly and you know it!"

"Neither would you!" she screamed to him.

What the hell. "How dare you! I would too hurt a fly! I kill them all the time at Evil Lair so there!" now they were squabbling like children.

"ENOUGH!" Metro Man yelled interrupting them. "I aim to destroy both of you, but this will be much better- bye bye Roxanne."

"NO!" Megamind yelled as Metro Man let go of her foot. She screamed.

It was like slow motion. She was falling to her death, Megamind without a second thought jumped off of the cliff after her, he felt her body heat as he reached around her middle to grab her. He was going to try and shield her from the impact- she may have broken bones, but she'd live.

When Metro Man reached out and pulled him up, up, and away from her.

"NO! -NO! Roxanne! NO!" he struggled in the hero's grasp, pushing at him, hitting, kicking, and screaming- anything-everything.

"Megamind." it was but a whisper on the chill night air, and through all the rain and thunder, the clashing of the ocean against the cliff's surface, even with all his screaming he heard her.

And then there was silence.

He looked below and wished that he hadn't. There lay Roxanne now so much meat. A circle of her own brain matter spattered around her head in a halo, an angel of blood. Her legs were nearly torn from her body, broken at impossible angles, her right arm slung across her stomach, and her left one lost. Crushed under her own body weight and the impact no doubt causing it to shatter.

His Roxanne. She was dead.

Megamind lifted his head to the heavens and screamed a feral and animalistic roar. He turned to the hero that held him and tried to gouge his eyes out, but was alarmed to find not Metro Man-

But Titan.

Roxanne was washing her face. For the fourth time that morning. She'd woken up at 4am. She didn't have to work today, but she probably would have called in. It was a rough night. She'd finally dreamed with him again. But it wasn't what she wanted. Not by half.

Wrapping a jacket around her, she grabbed her apartment keys and headed out for breakfast. She didn't feel like cooking much. And she knew that she'd regret it later -but what the hell? Ever since college she'd always tried to take at least one day out of the week where she would cook all three meals. Being a terrible cook she wanted to improve herself, hoping against hope that it would make her more 'feminine'.

There was hardly enough hours in the week for her to focus on herself. Oh she went shopping for new clothes and makeup, but she usually just picked out clothes that would look good on her for the camera. Not really for her. She'd only ever finally bought something for her when she was shopping to impress Megamind.

Megamind. The nightmare came back to her in a rush. He'd tried to save her by getting Metro Man's attention, but she wouldn't let him. She didn't want him to die, and when he'd reached out to save her- she was so scared for them. It was worse seeing his face as she smashed into the ground. She could remember the feeling, it was so real. She felt the impact as if it were full force. The only thing she could compare it too was when she was thirteen, her mother had taken her to relatives out of town, and she'd gone skiing for the first time.

And that was also her first trip to the hospital for more than one night. She'd collided with another skier, trying to maneuver around a tree and she ended up falling over the hang about fourteen feet. Her shoulder had taken most of the bruit force and her head had hit the ground at an angle. There was bruising on her brain.

The force had snapped her collarbone in two. Luckily, it was a clean break and it had mended nicely. But she'd never forget the feel. Praying for unconsciousness as she lay in the cold snow, with pain so intense she thought maybe she really was dying. She could remember not being able to cry. Each time she tried, the pressure from her head would stab into her like a thousand needles pricking a piece of fruit.

The healing process was worse, only because it was slow going. The therapy after was a pain. She hated being so weak. That was downright nullifying. Her shoulder was still sore from time to time, whenever the weather decided to act up. But a few over the counter pain pills and she was right as rain.

"Tall Skim mocha cappuccino- no make it chocolate." sighing Roxanne ordered her coffee.

"You know getting skim and chocolate together don't really have the desired effect you're probably looking for." a familiar voice said behind her.

"Bernard!" She turned and threw her arms around him. He stumbled slightly but caught himself and returned her embrace.

"Hey, It's only been a day. Miss me already? " he laughed. But the look on her face made his brow crease, "Hey, what's wrong?"

Megamind was so relieved he could barely contain himself, of course the dream-nightmare- was not real, but dammit for feeling as if those horrible things had happened. He'd decided to not use his sedative anymore. Assuming the nightmares were probably a side effect. He'd go a week or so and see what would happen.

"And then, I was dead." Roxanne had been relaying the dream to 'Bernard' for the past fifteen minutes or so and he looked concerned.

"So, I never knew the dreams you were talking about were nightmares."

"They weren't. It's only recently that this has been happening. I don't know why, and I tried to talk to Megs about it but... that didn't turn out too well." She looked down and Megamind new that she was remembering what had transpired between them a few days earlier.

"Well, you know he is a super-villain. Not exactly a normal piece of society." 'Bernard' shrugged.

Roxanne snorted. "Right. Megamind is more normal than he thinks, honestly."

"You'd be the first person to say so." He commented as he ripped off a piece of bagel and smothered it with cream cheese, then popping it into his mouth, he looked for his doughnuts.

"I'll never understand how you can eat all of that and never gain any weight. You always look the same. It's bee almost three months, and you eat such crazy sweets and high calorie foods. It drives me insane." She laughed sipping her skim-chocolate drink coffee.

"Oh, did you want some?" he offered her some of his bagel packed well over the brim with cream cheese. His face was so innocent, he didn't have a clue.

So Roxanne decided to help him along. She leaned over and saw his eyes widen as he quickly figured out what she was going to do, but seemed too afraid to stop her. Her mouth covered the bite of bagel and she sucked it from his fingers licking slightly at his finger tips to tease him as she pulled away smiling at his face frozen in awe.

"Y-Your welcome." he said shakily.

"Bernard are you blushing?" she teased, not really seeing any sign of a blush on the mans face but she was happy that he'd cheered her up.

"I guess so. Quite naughty for so early in the morning Mi-Roxanne." barely catching himself in calling her 'Miss Ritchi' again, Megamind chided himself silently.

"Are you free, would you like to spend the day with me?" She smiled watching him try to swallow half a doughnut so he could answer.

"S-sure. Sorry, heh- I just am oddly more hungry than usual. What would you like to do today?" He asked finishing off two more doughnuts, and gulping down some coffee. He'd need it if he were going to stay awake. After the nightmare from the previous evening he wasn't able to sleep.

Titan. Hal Stuart. The person he was training was the one who murdered Roxanne. She didn't see the last part, but he did. It was unsettling to say the least. He was suppose to go over to Hal's today for more training but after the dream he really just wanted to make sure Roxanne was okay. So he'd texted Hal earlier that he would have to take a rain check, there was a pressing matter in the galaxy he had to attend to.

And he'd headed straight to her apartment, but she wasn't home, so he was going to try and scour the streets for her when he remembered that she had the day off. So she was probably out to eat if not at home practicing her cooking.

He was so happy to see her standing in her street clothes he almost attacked her with a hug. Glad to remind himself that he was 'Bernard' and not 'Megamind' he settled for teasing her instead.

She'd pleasantly done the attacking for him.

"I was going to- well I wanted to get some new clothes." she looked sheepishly away from him.

"Hm? New clothes? Why I like what you wear now." he admitted, and he did. Her wardrobe had flattered her charm and sassy reporter qualities.

"Well, I just wanted to get some things for me. I don't really have much to wear out other than work clothes or well, this." she gestured to her jeans and jacket.

"Okay then. Shopping day, I'm not very good at this sort of thing, but I'm sure you'll help me?" He finished his breakfast and gave her his best charming smile.

Roxanne felt her knees quiver and was glad she was sitting down. She was falling for him. Bernard, of all people. Who would've thought?

"Yes I'll help you. Mostly though you'll probably be helping me, I'll need someone to tell me if I look okay or not."

"Oh, you look great in anything." he shrugged laughing when her face visibly colored.

They cleared their trash and walked out of the coffee shop deciding on the subway as faster to get to where they wanted to go they boarded and Roxanne tried not to laugh too loudly when an elderly woman fell asleep on Bernard's shoulder.

They spent the day relaxing and looking at different shops around town trying to find some interesting clothes for Roxanne.

Megamind was amused and confused as he observed the many apparel stores around the Metro City Mall. He'd always wanted to go 'shopping' but there usually wasn't any time. And 'ev-vil' masters of villainy don't go 'shopping'.

He'd seen several stores of interest while helping Roxanne procure some outfits, including a guitar store. There was one in particular that he had his eye on. A sea-foam green beautifly crafted instrument. Roxanne noticed where he was looking when he'd vanished from her side and she started talking to herself.

"Wow, it's beautiful. You play?" She asked coming up next to him linking an arm through one of his.

"What-Oh. No, I don't. I've thought about learning. I mean it wouldn't be too difficult. I know how to read sheet music. It's just a matter of where the 'thumbs' go." he smiled, but the guitar really was lovely. He'd have to remember it's location for if he decided to steal it later.

"C'mon, lets go see how much it is." before he could say no she dragged him inside. She walked right up to the counter where a teen boy was standing not facing them trying to fix something.

"Excuse me?" Roxanne asked.

The boy turned around to reveal several facial piercings along his nose, ears, lip and eyebrow. "Yes mam, what can I do for you?" he asked politely.

"May we see the guitar over there?" She pointed to the sea-foam green one.

"Oh, sure thing. But it's being repaired so I can't sell it until it's complete." he jogged to the location of said guitar and gingerly lifted it off of it's holding rack. He walked back around the counter and handed it to her, she held it out to Bernard/Megamind.

He lifted it from her small hands and held it's smooth surface in his owns, it really was a masterfully crafted piece. He turned it around and saw a nasty crack on the back surface of the Guitar, reaching up almost the complete length of the instrument...like a lightning bolt. It was as if the universe were trying to give him a sign.

Roxanne watched Bernard's face as he examined the guitar. She smiled and couldn't help herself turning around to the boy and handing him her debit card she asked, "May I purchase it today and then he can come back to pick it up later with the receipt to pick it up when it's repaired?"

"Sure thing miss." he kindly took her card and rounded the counter and began to ring her up.

"No, Roxanne. That's not necessary, I can pay for it." He reached into a back pocket to find his wallet.

"No, Bernard. Please let me? As a thank you for today?" she asked, and leaning over she kissed him so he couldn't tell her no again.

Megamind/Bernard leaned in to the kiss wanting to put the guitar down and pull her to him, but he knew that if he did he may not let her go, and that would be embarrassing for the people around them, so sadly he backed up, and she turned around to get her card and the receipt back from the young cashier.

"Thank you, you didn't have to really." he said as they walked out of the store hand in hand and she gave him the receipt.

"It's perfect for you. Really it was just screaming 'I rock'. And I wanted to say thanks for coming with me today. I'm sure you had better plans than shopping with your girlfriend."

Megamind/Bernard almost stopped walking, she'd said girlfriend, that meant that they were a couple. Officially. His heart soared and he tried to control his feelings, but he was exploding with happiness. She was his. HIS.

Well Bernard's, but he was 'Bernard' so she really was his.

Then he heard her gasp and he had to calm his beating heart as he glanced at where she was looking. In the store that they had wandered into, Francisca's was an all woman's clothing store complete with accessories.

He saw the particular dress she was eying, it was a stylish blue silk dress, cut to fit a woman with curves, which Roxanne had plenty of. It was sleeveless, with a unique bunching of silk around the neck area, it would look very flattering on her he decided instantly.

He saw her glance at it then quickly walk to another similar dress in purple. She seemed satisfied with it more so then the blue one. Picking out her size she headed to the dressing room, calling to him that she would be right back.

He shifted the bags he was carrying to the other hand, and lifted up the price tag on the blue dress for a better inspection.

The price tag read '$2,547.89'

Yaow-za! No wonder she walked by it. It was almost twice the price of his guitar! He knew that she wasn't rich, but considering how her career had advanced he was sure she would be able to get the blue dress if she wanted. But probably didn't want to get it because to spend that much on one outfit alone, well he could see where she would be able to buy many full outfits with the money.

Figuring she'd decided to spend wisely he plucked the dress from it's happy spot on the manikin. After checking to make sure the size was right he headed quickly to the register, pulling out his wallet. He wasn't under his usual persona today so cash would have to do. He only hoped the cashier wouldn't suspect why someone like him was walking around with five figures in his wallet.

"Would you like this gift wrapped sir?" The petite blonde asked whispering. He figured the thought it was a present for the girl who just walked into the dressing room, and she'd be right.

"Yes, thank you." he slid the bills to her, which she promptly counted and marked then placed in the register, quickly and efficiently folding and wrapping up the dress in a lovely dress box complete with tissue paper, she placed the box inside of a bag, and handed it to him with his change and receipt.

He hurriedly shifted the other bags around so that the new one would be cleverly hidden between them, and he hoped Roxanne wouldn't notice. She was coming out of the dressing room just as he finished up. The purple dress in one hand.

"Found a winner?" he asked smiling.

"Yes. I love it." She headed to the cashier who smiled innocently and cashed her out.

"Thanks for stopping by Francisca's, Come again soon!" The blonde called as they left the store. Roxanne asked if he wanted her to carry some of their bags, but he insisted on carrying them all.

"Are you sure? There's a lot there Bernard." She felt bad for having him hold onto everything.

"No, no, it's fine. No problem. Want to get some lunch? My treat." He offered to change her trail of thought.

"Okay, I'm feeling like pasta." Roxanne stopped walking suddenly and Megamind/Bernard almost bumped into her. "Actually," she turned to face him, "Want me to cook for you?"

"Cook for me? Really? Sure, I'd love it." He was surprised. She was going to cook for him. He'd finally get the meal that she had promised to him on their 'day'.

After stopping at the local grocery store they headed to Roxanne's apartment. Carlos waved as she passed smiling at the two of them wishing a good day.

Roxanne placed the bags of food on the counter before excusing herself to use the restroom.

Megamind/Bernard took this time to quickly dispose of the other Francisca bag and took the white gift box placing it far off to the side of her apartment near the balcony doors, and he scrawled a note to her in pen on a card that was attached to the box.

To Roxanne, thanks for being special to me.

-B

He thought that maybe he could come up with something witty but in the end the note was nakedly was putting the pen back when she walked into the kitchen and began to take things out of bags.

"Any thing I can do to help?" He offered coming to stand next to her.

"No, I want to make this for you, you can watch TV, or a movie if you want?" She smiled to him as she prepared pans and a pot.

"Oh, okay." He walked to her living area and looked around at her small selection of DVD's. Surprised to see one of his favorites he selected it and popped it into the DVD player.

Roxanne turned around at having heard the familiar intro she turned around as he asked, "I never knew you liked sci-fi."

"Hm? Oh yes. I like a lot of different genres. The Fifth Element is one of my favorites. Chris Tucker is hilarious." she laughed remembering the scene that would come later where he screamed like a girl, this made her think of Megamind's familiar scream and she laughed out loud.

"The alien who sings was always a favorite of mine. Even though she's blue." he added.

"The best things often are." Roxanne added smiling towards him.

Megamind felt a blush rise to his face, and he quickly turned to the movie, even though she couldn't really see it, she was far too observant and he didn't want to risk anything. Especially after her catching his embarrassment this morning.

'I could name a dozen beloved characters from all kinds of movies, not just sci-fi that are blue.' Roxanne thought to herself. Why was that? She ignored her trail of thought and focused on the chicken and pasta in front of her.

Megamind/Bernard was getting hungry from the mouth-watering smells Roxanne's cooking was producing. Finally the movie was approaching it's climax when she announced that dinner was ready.

Megamind/Bernard paused the DVD and turned off the TV. He approached the table and was surprised to see a lovely display of food and wine.

It was thick pasta with alfredo sauce, and a generous chicken breast lay on top. There was corn off to one side of his plate in a separate little bowl and garlic bread separated their plates in the middle of the table.

"This is amazing. Really, I could never do something like this. Thank you." He sat down as she did and they began to eat talking on all subject matters when soon the topic turned to sci-fi.

"I'm a big fan of Firefly, the movie made me sad though." Roxanne's nose crinkled to emphasis her displeasure.

"Yeah, it's too bad that it had to be rushed. People just didn't find out about it until it was too late. Hey did you ever see Mirror Mask?" Megamind/Bernard asked her sipping his wine. He'd have to be careful with it, wine tended to go to his head if he had more then a glass.

"Yes I have a copy I think, but is that sci-fi or fantasy?" Roxanne wondered as she ate a fork full of pasta and chicken.

"I think fantasy, but it sure was a refreshing film. The effects were a bit obvious in parts but the over all result was charming."

"Yeah, I liked the idea of masks in the alternate world, but her 'mother' never had a mask on did she?"

"I'm not sure, we should watch to check. I cant believe I cant remember." He looked thoughtful and they finished up the dinner deciding to watch Mirror Mask after the ending of Fifth Element.

During the movie Roxanne snuggled in close to him, feeling more happy and safe than she and for a while.

She couldn't resist kissing him, and he couldn't resist encouraging her. It didn't take long for her panties to be on the ground and his hand to find the opening between her thighs.

Roxanne was dizzy, was it the wine? Perhaps she'd had too much... but the feeling he was stroking from her made her mind go numb.

Megamind/Bernard ravaged her mouth as his fingers slid along her clit. She was wet and breathy. He pulled away from her momentarily an idea forming in his mind. There were a number of things he had read while in prison a while back that he wanted to try on her and what better way than tonight?

Roxanne was dazed for a moment when 'Bernard' lowered himself to sit between her legs. She reddened at the thought of what he intended to do and she closed her legs quickly and shyly.

He looked up at her his eyes sparkling with laughter, he said nothing as he reached out and slowly slid her knees apart. Lifting her shirt further from her body so he could get a good look. There was a small patch of dark brown hair between her legs and slightly lower was his destination, it was wet.

He leaned in and flicked his tongue out quickly, pulling a moan from her. He smiled and kissed her opening, then slowly he began to lick around her folds, using long strokes flicking his tongue once he reached the top where that little nub was beginning to swell.

Roxanne arched her back reaching down to where his head was between her legs, she wanted to hold him there, but he pulled her hands away before she could touch him, and instead he held them to either side of her body. She tried to pull away but he wouldn't let her go, so she wrapped her legs around him instead.

Megamind/Bernard smiled into her body and then he slid his tongue into the small opening her sudden gasp let him know he was on track to his goal. He began to thrust into her, his mouth sucking her juices until he was sure he'd go mad from her passion. He nipped lightly at the swollen bud at the top of her folds and her breathing quickened, her legs tightened around his head and he could feel her trying not to buck into his mouth, he was afraid if he let her hands go she'd touch his 'hair' and the illusion of 'Bernard' would only hide so much. His disguise couldn't hold up to her touching his head, and so he had to keep her hands at bay.

Roxanne felt close, she struggled to keep control of herself. She was so close, and then he stopped. She looked down flushed and he was licking his lips, he stood up and lifted her as if she weighed nothing, he gently turned her over, her hands free she grabbed the back of the couch surprise on her face, he was between her legs again, spreading them open wider, and she felt his tongue lick at her again, but this time there was a finger inserted inside.

She tried and failed to stifle her scream of agreement. As he pulled one finger out of her and replaced it with two, shoving quickly in and pulling out, his tongue lapping up her stray cum like a starving kitten with milk. She was cumming and shouted almost without thought;

"Megamind!"

And could have happily died right there. Her seducer didn't seem to notice or if he did, didn't care. She was grateful for that until he lifted his head to reply.

"You flatter me, Roxanne." His voice was amused, and playful as he started to drill into her body again, driving a second orgasm from her. This time she screamed for him.

Megamind/Bernard was startled and probably too pleased with himself that she'd called out his name when she came. He teased her remembering that he was 'Bernard' and let the slip from her lips go. After a third time making her cum he slowed his ministrations, shifting awkwardly as he felt the ever pressing bulge in his pants. He tried to calm himself, and it was hard.

"Your turn." Roxanne turned around to reach for him and he grabbed her hand before she could.

"Ah, ah ah. Not tonight. This is for you, Roxanne. You've been stressed out and worried all day." He said scooting away from her and sliding his fingers out of her body. She made a cute noise that he promised to log away in his mind.

He couldn't resist another teasing remark and said, "I forgot to tell you, I like sweet things." and promptly began to lick his fingers clean of her, while he watched her face getting redder than normal.

He disappeared for a moment and returned with a clean moist wash cloth he leaned down in front of her and began to clean her.

"Y-you don't have to do that..." She was embarrassed again. And tried to grab the cloth away from him.

"Please? I really want to." He continued to lightly clean her body.

He was about to tease her again when 'Bernard's' phone rang making them both jump then laugh, he stood up and walked over to where he'd set his phone down, the number was unavailable which made him think of Minion instantly.

He picked up the phone.

"Yes?" he asked trying not to sound too odd.

"Sir?" a whispered Minion's voice met his ears.

"Go on." he replied, so as not to alarm Roxanne.

"There's a problem with Hal. He's trying to punch himself in the- well- you know? I can't stop him." Minion sounded desperate.

"Alright, I'll be there in a few." He said and hung up the phone sighing deeply and rubbing his forehead. He turned back to Roxanne who'd changed into pajama bottoms and cleaned up the couch. "I'm sorry Roxanne, there's an emergency with my Brother. I have to leave right away." He walked over to her and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"Oh, that's okay. I hope he's alright." she added.

"Me too, I don't mean to eat and run- oh my god that sounded terrible, I didn't mean it like that!" He seemed flustered and she giggled at him.

Megamind/Bernard turned to leave when he remembered something, "Oh, there's a little something for you by the windows, have a goodnight Roxanne." He motioned towards her balcony then waved goodbye and left.

Roxanne watched him quickly exit and then she walked over to the windows. Thinking that he wasn't angry at her for screaming out Megamind's name while he was making her cum...she glanced down and found there was a white box with a small card on the top of it, she opened the card and read. Then she lifted the lid off of the box, and felt herself fall in love completely.

Megamind leaned against the wall to his room in Evil Lair, it had been a trying day. He'd enjoyed his time with Roxanne, but was this really the best thing for both of them? He couldn't keep pretending to be Bernard. He wanted to be with her as himself, he wanted to touch her and love her body as Megamind, not 'Bernard'.

He smiled briefly as he remembered her screaming his name and not Bernard's as she came. She was driving him mad. How was he suppose to focus on his villainous work with nothing but thoughts of her running circles through his mind day and night?

And that Hal Stuart. The imbecile. He'd had to rush off to take care of that idiot. But he supposed he owed him a thank-you, how else was he going to get out of that odd moment with Roxanne? Honestly, though- who would try to hurt themselves on purpose? He must be tapped in the head. For this reason alone Megamind figured that the nightmare he and Roxanne had shared the previous eventing must have a different meaning.

He sighed and pulled off his clothes opting for just boxers to sleep in tonight and he fell into his bed pulling his pillows into his face comfortably, he sought sleep.

He lay there waiting for the darkness to wash over him and he remembered when he got this bed. After living for so long without one, learning to sleep in one was difficult at first. He was only sleeping on the couch in Evil Lair and that suited him just fine, but after kidnapping Roxanne multiple times and seeing that she looked so happy when asleep, he'd decided to see what all the hype was.

He'd researched several types of beds, hard, soft, double padding, thin padding, no box spring, futons...but he finally just decided to get the full size soft bed. It sounded comfortable, and at first it was. Until he tried to do more than sit on it.

Sleeping was hard on the soft cushy bed, he was used to the familiar crick in his neck from the chair in the room that was his at the prison. He'd slept in a bed when he was a child but it was so long ago it was obvious his body didn't remember how it felt even if his brain did.

He still wanted to sleep in a bed, to be normal. So he forced himself every night to lay there and try to sleep, until finally he'd done it. One morning he woke up refreshed and fully rested. Fearing that he may not be able to achieve the happiness again he continually slept each night until he was sure his body was used to it.

Now he couldn't imagine sleeping in that dumb hard chair ever again. And when he did, he'd come home more sore then when Metro Man had put him in it.

Metro Man, doesn't matter, the city is his now. Roxanne is his, if only for a short time. The voice came back to him his conscious trying to tell him that he would never be satisfied with just a short time. He wasn't human, and found that he couldn't just mate and then forget about her.

Quite the opposite, now that he'd been allowed to love Roxanne, he wasn't sure if he could survive being apart from her forever.

He prayed that he'd never have to find out.

Hello! Was going to have a bit more of the movie parts in here but I got carried away with myself as usual so the 'movie' bits will pick up in the next chapter. :) I hope you enjoyed your present of smut! Do let me know with comments on how you've enjoyed the story so far, what you feel is bad/good and anything else, they make me happy and I can continue to write!

I'd like to thank EVERYONE who's totally awesome for reading this story! It's come a long way from just a floating idea, I never thought I could flesh it out so much! So thanks everyone for reading!

UP NEXT: movie continuing -but wait there's more! The infamous 'rain scene' is still to come, how will Roxanne take it finding out that the new love of her life is our precious 'blue hero?'
