Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters.
Warning: This is a fem slash story. It means that there is a girl… and she likes another girl… and they both like each other… (I'm simplifying this so that everyone can understand) If you haven't figured that out by now, well, hopefully you know it once you read this.
Requests: I would just like to request that you all don't kill me for posting this chapter when I didn't really think it was ready for public display.
ANYTHING'S "POSSIBLE"
Chapter Three
"Hey are you hungry?" Shego had walked in to find Kim sitting up in bed examining the bandages around her ribs.
"I'm starving." Kim pulled at one of the bandages, temporarily forgetting she was talking to Shego. It was really well done. Kim also noticed that she was still wearing the clothes from her mission even though the bandages wear around her bare skin. Shego had probably had to move Kim's shirt around to get the bandages on, or maybe even taken it off. Kim lightly blushed at that thought. "You do nice work. Where did you learn how to do all of this?"
"My mom worked at a hospital. When I wasn't at school or working for Team Go I would most likely be helping her out." She looked sad, but only for a second. Her face went back to its usual sarcastically blank expression. "So what do you want for dinner, not like I have much to offer but I thought I'd ask anyway."
"Dinner?" Kim looked up with a startled expression on her face. "I thought it was still morning."
"Nope, it's about 7:30 or so. We got here around two nights ago." Shego stared at Kim's open mouthed expression for a short while before she finally got bored. "So… should I go get food?"
Kim eyed Shego suspiciously. Shego, getting used to not being trusted, just sighed with frustration. "I'm not going to poison you. If I took the time to bandage your broken bones do you really think I'd poison you?"
She had a point. "Alright I believe you. Do you think I'd be able to eat outside of this room? It's kind of creepy being stuck in here all alone."
Shego looked skeptical. "I don't think you can even stand let alone walk." Kim sighed and her eyes turned dull. "But if you really don't like being here alone I could eat with you. That is, if you trust me not to pull a knife out and stab you in the ribs or something."
Kim's eyes popped open. "Whoa, Kim I was kidding."
"Oh, right. Yeah I'd like it if you ate with me." Did I just say that I'd like to eat with Shego?
Did she just say she'd like to eat with me? "I guess I'll go get food. Be right back."
Five minutes later Shego came in carrying a tray with cereal, toast and orange juice. "This was all I could get. I haven't been here for a while and I didn't exactly have time to run to the store." She sat down next to Kim who was giving her an odd look. "What?"
"Are you telling me that I've been here for about two days and you haven't eaten anything?"
"I wasn't exactly hungry. Plus, I had to make sure you wouldn't wake up and do something stupid." She sounded just like her usual, sarcastic self but she was now blushing faintly and looked slightly uncomfortable. Wait, was she blushing? It was too hard to tell. "But don't worry, I'll go raid a shopping center or something tomorrow and pick up real food. Well," she looked out of the small window that showed a heavy snow storm. "I'll go if the weather around here clears up a bit."
"And where exactly is "here"?" Kim took a massive bite out of her toast.
"We're in the mountains. My parents left this to me. It's kind of like a cave only nicer."
"Oh, so you live here?" Kim had thought of Shego living in an abandoned apartment in the city with the windows all boarded up and dust everywhere.
"Nah, I usually don't live anywhere but if I did have a home, I guess this would be it." She looked at Kim's face and smirked. "Oh don't be so surprised, Princess. Not all villains live in crappy places."
"I know that! I just always thought you lived with Draken or something because you two are…" Kim blushed when Shego's eyebrows shot up and wasn't sure if she should continue. "You know what I mean."
"Wait, you think… me and…?" She was on the verge of exploding into massive fits of hyena laughter howls but somehow managed to stifle them into nonstop chuckles.
"Well aren't you?" Kim looked confused when she had to wait for few moments for Shego to stop laughing.
"NO! He's way too old for me. Hell I'd rather be with y-"She stopped herself horrified of what she would have said. Kim was waiting for the rest of the sentence. "I'd rather be alone." Kim decided not to ask why she would rather be alone. Shego was looking kind of annoyed and Kim didn't want to piss her off.
"So… you said Draken is too old for you?" She said after sipping her orange juice for a bit.
"Yeah…?" Shego raised an eyebrow at the injured teen, picking up on Kim's curiosity.
"Well… how old… are you?"
"You honestly don't know how old I am?" Amusement spread across Shego's face and Kim could tell she was holding in laughter… again.
"What and I suppose you know how old I am?" Kim was getting a bit defensive so she glared. She didn't like getting laughed at.
"Yeah, you're about… oh, maybe 16-17? Somewhere around there?" Kim didn't like it when Shego was right, especially about something concerning her personal life. Well, alright, so it wasn't really that personal considering it was on her website but still… "Come on, Kimmie. Guess how old I am."
"Just cause you guessed doesn't mean I'm going to." Kim continued slowly sipping her juice, trying to remain dignified even though she felt grungy from not being able to take a shower for a good two/ three days.
"Just take a guess! I promise not to laugh." Shego sounded as honest as a supreme villain could sound.
Kim eyed Shego up and down, hardly believing her statement seeing how Shego was practically laughing right now. Plus, Shego was a villain, right? Did villains ever keep their promises?
"I said I'm not-"
"So you're scarred that you'll be wrong. I understand completely now. You probably just don't want to lose to me again." Shego had a therapist tone to her voice.
"I'm not scarred!" The last part of what Shego had said took a second to register in Kim's brain. "And you hardly ever win!"
Shego patted Kim's shoulder in false sympathy. "It's ok, Kimmie. There's no shame in being scarred of-"
"I think you're about 19 or 20! There are you happy? Maybe you're 21?!" Kim gruffly crossed her arms and glared at her foe. "And I don't like reverse psychology!!!"
Shego grinned and raised an eyebrow. "But it worked, didn't it?"
Deepening her glare, Kim replied, "Now will you answer my question? How old are you?"
"You almost guessed it. I'm 18. Now how old are you?"
"I'm seventeen but my birthday is coming up."
"I already had mine this year."
"When's yours?" They both asked at the same time. Shego went first.
"January 12. I think that's why I'm so cold hearted." She smirked. She had always loved being able to blame winter for how she turned out.
"You're not that cold hearted." Kim's eyes widened as she realized what she had said. What did I just say? This is a definite sign of my craziness.
What did she just say? Shego looked just as uncomfortable as Kim did. "Uhm, so when's your birthday?"
"March 11."
"That's in two days!"
"Thank you Miss Points-Out-The-Obvious."
"I'm just shocked that your parents wouldn't be home with you to celebrate! I mean, the Buffoon should have at least taken you out to dinner or something. That's what boyfriends are supposed to do, right?"
"Me and Ron… girlfriend and boyfriend?" Kim placed her hands on her hips. "You don't honestly believe I'd go for a guy like Ron, do you?" She gave a semi laugh as she smiled and added, "I don't even like g-"What the hell was that?!?!?! I so did not just admit that… that I don't like… oh crapp. Did I even say it out loud? Please tell me I didn't. Shego would probably blackmail me or something.
"You don't even like what?" Was she just going to say that she doesn't even like guys? I never thought she'd swing that way. I mean, I always hoped she didn't like them… wait, what? Wow I have some serious thoughts to work out because this is just wrong. Not only is she my enemy but she wouldn't even like me… not that I want her to like me… cause I don't. God, I need to smash something.
"I… I was just saying how I don't even like… going to the movies with Ron. Sorry, my head is just hurting a lot so it's kind of hard to think straight." Ha, Kim thought, think "straight". That's something I should probably be doing.
Shego started to stand up, gathering the tray with dishes on them. "Well if you're not feeling well I should let you sleep some more." She started to walk out of the door.
"Wait don't go just yet!" What am I doing? Stop being crazy!
"Oh, do you need something?" Maybe you need… me? Why did I just think that? Ah! Get out of my head you stupid thoughts!!!
"I was just wondering…" Don't tell her what you feel. Don't tell her what you feel. You hit your head so you're delusional. Don't tell her what you feel.
"Wondering…?" Shego's eyes were covered in mixed feelings of want, wonder, uncertanty and… is that lust? Nah, it couldn't be… could it?
"Wondering if you have any books I can read. You know, in case I can't sleep." Kim sighed inwardly and thanked herself for not saying what she was thinking.
"Uh, yeah I'll see what I can find."
When Shego came in with an armload full of books Kim was in a deep sleep, breathing heavily but not quite snoring. Shego put the books down and walked up to Kim. She pulled the covers up so that Kim would stay warm. With any luck Kim should be healed in a week granted she would still have a limp and most likely need to bandage her ribs but other than that she would be fine.
Shego left and went upstairs into her own room. After getting ready for bed (making sure to open all of the windows in her room) she slid on top of the cozy covers, sighing with relief and hoping she would be able to sleep. She hadn't been able to sleep for about three days now (not the longest time she's ever gone without sleep but still, three days can be pretty rough).
Come on, Shego thought to herself, just close your eyes and tune out all thoughts. Just focus on nothing. But once she closed her eyes all she could think about was Kim and how lucky Shego was to have been there at the right time, before anyone died. But why did I go there? Why did I make sure I know where she lives? I had no reason to save her life. No reason at all but I did. And when we were fighting, I tried to warn her but she wouldn't listen. Well, she did have good reasons not to trust me and I did get to pin her against the wall. Whispering in her ear felt so good, so right. I wish I had kissed her but instead, as usual, I tried to punch her. But why? Why do I always hide my feelings? Cause I'll get hurt. I have to hide them, lie about them even to myself. I just need to go on pretending I don't love her. Well, not pretending because I really don't love her. I don't love her. I don't love her… I don't… love her….
Shego finally fell asleep but even though she told herself she didn't love Kim, her dreams told her the truth. She had always loved Kim Possible and little did she know, Kim had always loved her in return, she just wasn't willing to admit it to herself yet.
Author's Note:
I'd like to mention the fact that I know this isn't that good of a chapter. If you only want to review to say "Gee that sucked" then by all means, do so. Just know that I already know that. Also, does anyone out there want to be a beta for me? Anyone at all? Please?
(Oh, I also know that I randomly started italicing... heh heh... oops..)
