All the World

Drakken's first awareness was the too-loud harsh blaring of the alarm clock. Before he could open his eyes or reach to shut it off, it had been silenced with a small explosion that caused him to blink rapidly in confusion and fright. Those feelings calmed when a moment later he felt the weight of an arm across his torso and fingernails digging into his side.

He became aware of the thudding of his heart in his chest at the same time he felt Shego's warmth as she pressed securely into his side, pinning his arm. After a few moments, his heartbeat slowing to near normal, he cautiously tried to extract his arm. Shego shifted to oblige him, and then instantly returned to the fierce cuddle she'd locked him into. He set his arm around her and nestled his cheek against her hair where her head was rested on his shoulder.

One of her legs slid over his then, and he felt the brief grasping of her toes against the fabric before she pushed her foot under his knee between his legs. He recalled the feel of her bare leg, now indistinguishable to him as he was wearing his pajama pants again. She had stolen his pajama shirt too, and he frowned slightly at the loss of electric contact that was her skin against his. Though he did relish the way her palm felt against his side.

Drakken called to mind the many other touches from the night before and was content to doze off again to the pleasant memory, when to his dismay Shego shifted away from him and began to sit up. He held on to her arm in protest and grasped for her with his other hand to pull her back down, blinking at her through sleep-blurred vision.

"Mm-mm," she said to the negative, a smile on her face as she blinked down at him. In response to his tug she shifted and grasped his shoulders to pull him upward. He obliged eagerly, and in a moment they were a tangle of limbs in an embrace that Drakken hadn't realized until then he'd seemingly been yearning for his entire life.

When after what felt like several minutes of hands and arms caressing and learning every part of each other, he removed his face from where it was buried in her hair at the crook of her neck, and his lips sought hers. Her hands found his face and he mirrored the pose as they kissed deeply. But too soon she was pulling away, and he made an embarrassing whimper of a sound in protest.

"You have a big day today," Shego said softly, resting her head on his shoulder again as they fell back into their clinging hold on one another.

"You'll be there with me?" Drakken asked, suddenly anxious. He felt Shego's chuckle of response against his chest.

"Of course."

He had a myriad of complex feelings about what would happen that morning. Even the excitement he felt when mixed with the confusion and trepidation all compounded into an unease that swirled around in his stomach and sent his mind racing. But then as if sensing it, Shego placed a soft kiss on his jaw and leaned back to smile at him, and the confidence in her eyes melted his fears away.

'Confidence in me...'

"Don't worry, Dr. D. You deserve this," she said with a happy sigh, nuzzling into his neck again.

Drakken held her tight as warmth spread from his heart through his whole being, but then she was pulling away again and he dug his fingers into her back.

"We need to shower and have breakfast and get ready to leave. We have about an hour."

She continued pulling away, and Drakken let his fingers trail down her arms as they both held on as long as possible.

"Sh-Shower with me?" he suggested, not feeling nearly as bold once the words left his lips.

Shego chuckled. "Then we'll never get out of here."

He watched her gather her clothes from the various places they'd been scattered over the floor, tossing his onto the bed while she was at it. He blushed at the memory of the passionate night, but when she tapped her wrist to remind him of the time he blinked away the thoughts and tried to focus on the present.

That day, he would be honored at the United Nations for saving the world. It had even been suggested he would receive a medal. The very idea sent his mind and emotions reeling in every direction again. To be recognized for his genius at last, to finally receive his due... But what if the world hated him?

As he watched Shego pause at the door and smile at him over her shoulder, everything settled again. He'd already found all the world he ever needed.
