It was snowing again in the town of Middleton. Kim Possible held Shego tightly in her arms as the black-haired woman sobbed on her shoulder.
I'm so screwed up.
The words echoed in Kim's head. Shego couldn't feel worse about herself. She wanted to curl up in a ball and be left alone, but she wanted Kim's comforting arms around her as well. Kim rocked back and forth, hoping to calm and comfort Shego.
"It's OK, Shego." Kim stroked Shego's black hair, "It's OK." Both were lifelines to the other. Kim was Shego's lifeline, keeping her from a descent into depression and madness. Shego was Kim's, keeping the girl in peace by being the one person to love.
Shego sobbed until there were no more tears left to cry. She curled up and clung tightly to Kim, closing her eyes tightly in an attempt to not see the pain, pressing her face against Kim's stomach. Her body and soul were sore.
"Shego, do you want me to leave you alone so you can sleep?" Kim asked gently. Shego only tightened her grip until her hands shook, her knuckles white.
"I just want the pain to go away." Shego whispered, "I want it to stop hurting."
"Shego, I don't care!" Kim insisted, "You aren't bad! You aren't evil! I love you, and that's all that matters to me! And I don't care what other people say about you! I'll never believe anyone that says bad things about you! Not even you!"
Shego slowly looked up at Kim and opened her eyes. They were red from crying, but the green shone through.
"Kimmy…" Shego whispered, "God, I love you. You really are an angel."
"You are too." Kim smiled, "You just don't think it." Shego finally smiled.
----------
A tour of the Possible house was underway. Shego followed behind Kim as she explained the habits of her family, where to find things, etc. There was only one room in the entire house that didn't look like it had been personalized. That was because Shego hadn't done anything to it yet. It was a room close to the stairs up to Kim's room, painted in dark blue. It was a very normal looking room.
Shego smiled at it. It was homey.
They climbed the stairs up to Kim's room. There was silence as they stood at the top of the stairs, just looking around the room. It was the typical teenager. Pictures of friends, cheerleading competitions, and a few movie stars were up on the walls. Kim muttered something about taking down the movie stars whilst she blushed.
Red turned to crimson on Kim's face when Shego wrapped her arms around the girl, just beneath her breasts. Shego swayed from side to side, her cheek resting on Kim's red hair.
Kim heard a faint hum come from Shego. It was a peaceful tune, something that made the blush go away and Kim's hands go to Shego's. Shego stopped moving, just holding Kim.
"What to do now?" Shego murmured into Kim's ear. Kim flushed red again.
"Shego, you're hurt." Kim protested, "We shouldn't." Shego laughed aloud, nudging Kim's head.
"I didn't mean that." she laughed, "My, aren't you the horny one?" Kim turned around to lightly hit Shego, but Shego caught her hand in turn. They stared for a moment, and then leaned together to kiss.
"So what do you want to do?" Kim asked when they ended the kiss.
----------
It was a bit past midnight when Mr. and Dr. Possible entered their house, Jim and Tim asleep in their arms. They looked about for a bit and found Kim and Shego in the den.
The two had fallen asleep on the floor beneath a blanket, Kim using Shego as a pillow. A half-empty pizza box was sitting on the coffee table.
"Sweet young love." Mr. Possible remarked to his wife as they went to put their boys to bed.
