Chapter 2 Stoppables a wizard?
Day 2
Spearmint POV
Wow…. I have to hand it to Drew whatever bed he got me needs to go into my contract as the only one that will be given to me. The best sleep I've had in my entire life. I'm not tired at all but two or three more hours sounds pleasant. As I snuggled into the toned and muscled pillow my brain which despite being rested just woke up processed that no pillow is muscular and the predicament I found myself in. Cuddling the buffoon while trapped underground. Oh well I don't care, I'm far too comfortable to fry him right now. Speaking of frying, some fried chicken would be amazing right now. Me and Drew would have a long talk about why starting his plan at 6am is a very dangerous game. My power demands a healthy balance of tons of calories. What the… I realize I'm hungry but why do I smell chicken? There's no way a… I can't help but take another sniff which alerted my pillow and showed me he's awake as well… My thoughts got interrupted when I felt his fingers gently invade my hair rubbing me. Does he think I'm crying or something? If this doesn't feel so good I'd hit him…. Damn him and that stupid rule. Of Course I can tell he's playing my competitive side but it was well played and made the game more exciting. Why would I ruin the little source of entertainment I can…. Ok that's it I shoot up staring daggers around me trying to find the culprit for the drool I just left on the buffoon's chest. I look all around the dark room before looking over to him. I can barely notice it but right next to him is a whole chicken cooked and missing a breast.
"Woah it's OK Shego it's ok no need to go ballistic on anything". I could smell the fear in his voice but I didn't care before he could realize I was after the chicken. I was already tearing it apart by the time the buffoon noticed Manners can go die in a hole not like I care if I have ever seemed unladylike. I'm half way through the chicken with the buffoon eyes staring at me when it clicks. How the hell did the buffoon have a delicious seasoned roasted chicken in this hole. I look up, catching the still staring boy who I can see vaguely blushing and turning away. He only made it in with his now dead communication device and as much of a shock as it was his pants.
"Buffoon, where did you pull out a chicken from". Even mid bite of the succulent chicken I must satisfy my curiosity. I can't help but roll my eyes as his face lights up and his smile shows itself. "My Fair mint flavored queen, how could I allow thoust to go hungry even if I must hide my wizardry in front of mortals surely I can expose my kitchen magic to a goddess". If my mouth wasn't full of his kitchen magic I would have beaten him for that answer but how could I argue with the boy who can pull out cooked pan roasted chicken from thin air. "Well Mr. Wizard, this queen is demanding you give her another meal. Your goddess demands to be given a baked potato and well bless you handsomely". The lean in making my chest pop out to him thanks to the chest of my jumpsuit being in taters was all but too much for him. At least he's not like other guys, he's staring hard but there's none of that hard look in his eyes. That hungry look guys give is so annoying. How is a girl to have her fun teasing when the slightest hip motion would send men into desperation. Maybe it's just the guys I find myself attracting or playing with no way all guys lose out to a high schooler. A noticeable shredded high schooler how'd he snuck around having the entire world fooled that he was scrawny I have no idea, those extra loose jerseys couldn't hide all this could it? I know I am behind in the normal social department but if normal people saw those muscles as scrawny then they're crazier than the super villain crazies.
" Sorry your majesty if my service could be bought so easily I'm afraid everyone would know my secret sorcery. For me to do it again thou must close thine eyes and pucker thy lips something tasty and exciting while grace them". Oh the buffoon is definitely getting a round of ouch when the games are over but despite the innuendos what's they're for me to be scared of as soon as I hear a zipper go down or feel lips on mine I win and get to hurt him…. Well not the zipper part but it will be accidentally zipped back up too fast. I close my eyes and wait. I can vaguely feel him shifting on the bed and the faint smell of...chocolate? I snap my eyes open and in front of me in the dim light is a mug of hot steaming chocolate. I can vaguely see a print of steam on the cup. This was made already and he'd already sipped from it but from where. I looked across the entire room and he barely moved yet a magic cup of hot coco just appeared. My complete bamboozlement overpowered my need for calories as I stared at the faint face in front of me.
"Stoppable how"? He just ignores my question and expands his annoying smile. "Spearmint my beloved you can't just stop using my pet name so suddenly". He reaches over to me and I'm so annoyed at his antics punching him straight in his infectious smile would be satisfying but if I retaliate I'm gonna lose the game and that can't happen. He touches my face and strokes my cheek gently and even while fighting myself from fighting him and the urge to gulp down this coco while it was still steaming I let out a growl. He doesn't back off and makes eye contact with me. He's scared I can tell from his eyes and the slight shake is good to see. "H-how am I to feel your undyi…. Ok yea the stutter didn't help that one". Ugh I wasn't ready for him to just stop damn the buffoon. His stupid addictive smile is back and I can't help but hate myself when my mouth betrayed me and went from a smirk from his studder to a smile.
"Hey Shego huh could we go back to hugging". I can vaguely make out him shivering and his hand which is cold to the touch is now on my back. As if he'd get that cold from a few minutes apart, did he hold his hand to the wall? I grab his hand, surprising him and bring it to my chest as I down the calories my body demands. The little gasp and shirl squeaking sound that comes from him is well worth it and a good distraction from the not so hot chocolate getting cooked down. Guess the cup would be steaming at room temperature in this cold. A quick spark up fixed the cold chocolate problem and scared the hell out of the buffoon. Timing is key and sparking up while he has his hand full on me was more than enough to scare him witless. As if I'd let this moment go. Before he has a chance to pull back I grab his hand, shocking him and making him even more scared.
"You're really testing my patience buffoon". A quick sip to finish off the dramatic effect... check. "I give you a golden opportunity guys would die for yet here I am wanting your touch with nothing to show for it. Just seeing his panicked face is almost enough for me to break my pout. It had the desired effect as the buffoon started his mumbling and was short-lived as he shook his head and pulled me over into a shoulder to shoulder hug. "Shego as much as I love drooling over your body I'd much rather hold you. I see you liked your magical gift sadly I can't use any fire. You know something like yesterday if I'm gonna die from falling ice it's only gonna be after I unwrapped my gum". "Once this game of ours is over buffoon I'll get it into your brain that calling me mint anything is very bad for your health". The venom in my voice was a little too heavy in my opinion seeing as it's one of the nicer things to be called associated with my skin color. My most hated was definitely Kermit. Calling me a fat green frog to my face was a lot of the time a good way to the nearest hospital except for the princess. She's very very lucky that all my employers pay a couple hundred thousands more for protection against her. I have the whole world fooled thinking she is on my level or better or that I'm just a hot head that loves to fight. While I do love a good fight, princess is anything but that. I used to be a cheerleader as well and despite my assets getting in the way of some tricker moves I can move better than her. The best healing factor on the planet means painful moves at the moment will heal better than when I did the trick in the first place. Catching her would be too easy a task compared to punching holes in concrete.
"Hey Shego". I'm snapped out of my thoughts by the buffoon's hand waving in front of my face. "ShegoSheeeego hey Shego you there? Oh there you are, I was worried for a second. He leans closer to me and in my thoughts I didn't notice he'd shifted us around. I'm now in between his legs with him leaning on my back one arm around my stomach and the other still annoyingly in my face. "You blanked on me thought the cold got you sooner than expected". His arm tightens around that tiny bit…. Is he actually worried about me?
"Oh worried about me buffoon don't worry I was just thinking about beating your precious princess to the dirt before I claim this large thing that's abusing my back". "W-wait what im so sorry shego w-wait b-but I'm not ha… oh haha you got me". I can't help but let out a chuckle at his buffoonery. I give him the full go ahead to touch my chest and he ignores it with slight panic. Giving the slightest hint he's excited starts freaking out and apologizing… It's kind of cute. "Aww and I thought you put me like this to have a little fun. What's the point of putting me in this position otherwise". I scoot back towards him and he copies my movement and I can hear the slight sound of his back connect against the ice wall. "So buffoon I have a question for you". This snaps him out of whatever was going on in his head dodging me of all people from sitting on his lap. "Huh y-yeah Spearmint what's your question"? "You had me on top of you all night holding me so close to you and you didn't freak out once but as soon as I gave you the go at my butt you freak out hard". I can see he's connected where this is going when I turn my head to look at him. He's spooked and trying his hardest to not look down but I can see his eyes flicker while we make eye contact. He knows I caught him. I swear I can hear his heartbeat echoing off the walls a mile a minute. He's so shook I almost laugh from his deer in the headlights stare. I'll wait a bit to drive that nail in the coffin. He looks so helpless and terrified it's kinda cute and fits him well.
"Are you gay buffoon"? The shock on his face is priceless…. Wait. This time I didn't even try to hold back and I'm very glad his tight grip on my stomach was still there or I'd probably have fallen off the bed.
By the time my laugh wears off and my gut stops killing me it feels like hours of torture. It's definitely 1:1. He may have had me hiccuping but I made him pass out from the stress of him preferring the back door.
Ugh now there's nothing to keep me entertained. I looked around the room with limited vision and still couldn't find where he got such luxury items. Theirs nothing like that in all the bases Dr. D has let alone the one in the arctic. I move us around laying him on his back away from freezing on that wall. No way I was gonna take an extra charge for a buffoon popsicle just because he passed out on a wall. That annoying feeling is coming back. If this food magic is real or not, something I can't deny is an issue. He can't hold me like that again if he's passed out. Whoever caught him would be lucky. His snuggling is definitely magical for the first time since it happened that being cold doesn't give me those nightmares. I can't help but shudder a little… what? Did… huh…. He's definitely still passed out. Did he just wrap his arms around me because I shuddered. How's that even possible? No reason to question it. I got what I wanted. Maybe the buf… Stoppable is magic. I mean I'm green and throw plasma. Who's to say he can't magic up food… Wait, maybe pyrokinesis? How'd he heat up food down here? The only heat source is in the kitchen… and me.
Dammit why do I overthink so much how I wouldn't notice if slimy chicken juice was on my body. Matter of fact I don't smell any coffee beans. Is it pre-made? He just summons stuff he's touched or set up before that would make a lot of sense on how easily he escapes traps and when we check for the rodent he's gone. He can just leave the rodent at home til he needs it… I'm gonna have to talk with Drakken about this… It's far-fetched but so I'd a rodent just not existing one second and there the next. We've had heat sensors be completely useless against it and even the cats we hired couldn't find him yet he was able to crawl his way into a high-tech computer being monitored inside and out. Wait could Stoppable choose where he wants things to go. How would anyone defend against that? It has to have a range or something, maybe only to where he can see? He wouldn't want to teleport his rodent into something. Ugh too much thinking I'll just let doc know.
I crawl back into bed and my problems back. My jumping out the bed didn't wake him up and now I'm back in the same situation except his arms are taking up my space now. Time to wake Stoppable… Wait, hmm. Why am I even trying this? That worked again? How's this kid so considerate? It's just built into him to hug cold people?
Oh my… his chest definitely is magical. I can definitely get used to this. Definitely need to upgrade the guards Stoppables filled out… Wait… Where… His heart… Where's his heart beat.

Thump
Did it? Was that it? It's so faint. I can see it on his face. Is he having a nightmare? My nightmares aren't even that bad. How long did I wait for his heartbeat? It kept his heart not beating for that long. Was I scared just now? Nah his heartbeats what helped me out yesterday and now it's back but too slow. I light up my hands in front of him for a little while. Might as well pay you back for the good cuddles. His face isn't in pain anymore and my lullaby is back. Thank you super strength or having my hands under him would suck. Yeah I could definitely get used to this. No nightmares here I come. Who knew the secret to no nightmares is...
