Rainy Day Love
By Lil' Slugger24
Chapter Five
Her lips remained locked in the passionate kiss for the longest time. Her true love pressing his mouth to hers, they were one at this moment in time. Shego kept her eyes closed as she kissed him, but she watched herself from afar. The man whom she shared this moment with was in shadow, she couldn't see his face.
Slowly, her ghost self approached the kissing couple. She walked toward the shadows, but never got any closer. The man remained frozen at a distance, but she gained no ground. Not even the Shego involved with the kiss got closer. However, Shego felt as though she knew the man who was kissing her, she just couldn't name him.
The woman in green awoke in her room. It was late at night, possibly even early the next morning, and the rain had still not ceased. It was all a dream, but the kiss felt so real. She even still had the feeling of love wrapped tightly on her hormones. She half expected for the man from her dream to be lying next to her.
But the second half of her large bed was vacant and looked as though it had been that way all night. She sighed and stood from her position, followed by strolling to her dresser to look at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were lit slightly thanks to the moon shining through the window. Her hair remained unmated despite her sleeping previously.
Something caught her eye in the reflection of her room. Next to her bed lay a tray of dishes with cold food and a now flat soda. She cocked her head as she turned around and looked down to it. A note was taped to its side and her name was written in large letters on the side.
She picked it up and opened it slowly, the handwriting was of her employers:
Shego,
I hope you feel better soon. The forecast tomorrow is sunny, I was wondering if maybe you'd like to do something together? Might as well use our vacation days while we still have them. We can talk about it in the morning. Good night.
Drakken
The girl in green began to breath heavily again. This was a little too much for her heart to take. It was bad enough what the doctor had spelled out during the board game, now he was asking her out on a date? She didn't want to date the doctor, she didn't want to date anyone, she wanted to be alone.
She threw the note to the floor and pulled a bag out from under her bed. She unzipped it and rushed back to her dresser to grab some clothes. She couldn't take living with the doctor anymore. She wanted him to love her, but she didn't want him to expect some love in return.
A few personal items were placed in with her articles of clothing and she zipped the bag again. She took out a scrap piece of paper and scribbled quickly on it:
I'm quitting. That's all there is too it. Don't look for me, don't alert anyone about it.
She didn't even sign the note. Instead she just picked up her bag and exited her room. She would put the letter on the refrigerator and leave the doctor's life for good. Sounded like an easy plan, but she felt as though something was pulling her back. There was nothing more she wanted than to be loved or noticed, the doctor had given her these things even before she accused him of loving her. It was hard to leave a friend.
The blue man was sleeping on the couch, cartoons played on the television quietly. Shego paused when she saw the man. The only reason he was out here instead of in his room was because he had given Shego his big bed. He hadn't been out recently and had just taken a liking to the loveseat sofa. The woman in green was beginning to feel frustration as she realized more sacrifices the doctor had made just for her.
If she didn't leave now, she never would. She stuck a magnet to the note and it stuck to the fridge. The final phase of leaving was ahead of her, all she had to do was grab he bag and leave the lair.
However, there was a new obstacle. The blue man now stood in the doorway, he was looking from Shego to the note on the fridge. His eyes held depression, but his mouth was curled into a smile. He had trouble keeping his back straight as he was extremely tired having just fallen asleep fifteen minutes ago.
"Hi, Shego…" he trailed groggily. The green woman only stared at him as usual as ever. The doctor took a step to one side so as to make room for his sidekick to pass him. "Would you like some help carrying your luggage?"
The girl in green widened her stare and looked with question to her friend. "What?" She was purely astounded, the doctor had often begged her, bargained her, even bribed with her to keep her from quitting. To comprehend what he had just said to her was like understanding an unfamiliar language for the first time.
The blue doctor smiled through glazed eyes. He pointed tiredly to the woman's bag. "That looks kind of heavy, I was wondering if you'd need some help carrying it…"
Shego shook her head and walked passed the man. He watched her lift her bag with ease and walk away. Shego couldn't look at the man anymore, it was too hard to walk away when she could see what she was walking away from. Drakken had lifted her from a low life and given her a purpose. He meant something special to her, she just didn't want him.
"Good luck, Shego…" the doctor trailed as he entered the kitchen and grabbed a coffee pot.
The green girl stopped and dropped her bag loudly on the floor. She twirled around and stared fire at the doctor. Fury grew inside of her heart. "What are you doing?!"
The blue man looked casually to the girl. "I haven't had the best of luck as far as sleeping is concerned the last few nights. So, I'm giving up… Might as well start re-routing my newest plan seeing as how a key point is about to walk out of that door…"
Shego stomped her foot. "You're just letting me leave?!" She found herself agitated that the doctor whom she figured loved her was just watching her walk out of his life. "Why?!"
Drakken closed a cupboard and ran some hot water from the faucet into his coffee maker. He gazed to the woman and his eyes half closed as they glazed over again. "There's no use in arguing about it this time, Shego… You've made your choice, and I'm letting you proceed without objection…" He went right back to preparing his drink.
Shego flared her hands and flexed her muscles. Rage was evident in her gestures, she was desperately trying to keep from crying. "But, I thought you loved me…" She had said the word so casually even though she couldn't say it earlier.
The blue man watched as his coffee began to create itself. He glanced slowly back to the woman. "I do, but you know how the saying goes…" He went back to watching his coffee as it filled the pot drop by drop.
The girl in green growled angrily. "What saying is that?!"
The doctor didn't turn to see her this time. Instead he just spoke deeply and smoothly. "If you truly love someone, you must let them go…"
Shego put her hands out and relaxed her tense body. She did recall that saying, her brothers had used it to calm her anger when her first and only boyfriend dumped her. They told her she should just let him go, at that moment it was impossible. Come to think of it, it still was. She was so frightened of having that same feeling that she even turned down her close friend.
The doctor waited patiently to hear the woman speak again. However, his ears only heard the opening and closing of the door. He knelt down to one knee suddenly and inhaled sharply. He had been holding his tears for the longest time. This whole conversation was killing him slowly, and now it was complete. His only friend, only love, was gone.
"Stand up, Drakken…" a voice said behind him. "You look pathetic…"
The doctor stood and was met by Shego. She was standing in the doorway of the kitchen, much like he had just a few minutes earlier. Her eyes were shining with the same glaze as his had only moments ago. She didn't look at the doctor, she barely even saw his frame from his stare. She didn't want to see the man, but she didn't want to leave anymore.
"Shego?" the doctor asked. "Why haven't you left?"
The girl in green kept her glance off centered of his position as she spoke. "There is a second part of that saying… If the person you let go comes back, maybe it was meant to be…"
Drakken looked at Shego. She looked to the floor, trying to keep her focus off of the blue doctor. "Shego…"
"Don't think we are a couple yet, but I'm willing to give it a chance…" the green woman stated. "Let's go out on a date or something, see how it goes…"
Drakken remained speechless. His mouth was slightly open as he was about to say something else just as he was interrupted by the woman. "Shego, I think it would be better if you did leave…"
The girl stared with shock to the doctor, a tear broke free, but she didn't notice. "What?" she asked in the same tone as before. "But, why?"
The blue man looked deep into her eyes. "You deserve better than I can give you… Tomorrow, if you had or if you hadn't decided on doing something with me, I was going to fire you so that you'd be free from the contract we established…"
The girl stared back into Drakken's eyes. "Dr. D, all I want is to be needed… And you've already given me that… I don't want to leave… I just want to give us a chance… Please…"
Drakken couldn't say anything to her. He only turned around and watched his coffee again. Shego had thought he had just silently dismissed her until he spoke. "Alright, Shego… We'll give it a shot…"
Her heart lifted her entire body as she smiled and looked happily to the doctor. He grinned to her and then looked back to his coffee. "Thank you, Drakken…"
The doctor nodded just once and then smiled. "You should get some sleep… It's late and you were sick as a dog only a few hours ago…"
The green woman took a step toward the doctor. "Actually, if it's okay, I'd like to stay up for a while with you…"
The blue man smiled to her and nodded. She smiled back and stood next to him for a moment. "I'd like that a lot, Shego…"
The green woman waited with the doctor until her poured his drink. She denied the cup he offered her. Instead, she just stood next to him as if expecting something. She blushed and asked, "Well?"
The doctor looked to his partner. "What is it, Shego?"
The green girl blushed and pushed her hair out of her face. She closed her eyes and bowed to head to the floor. "Aren't you going to kiss me?"
The doctor dropped his cup and Shego giggled at the sight of the embarrassed man. "I suppose… Do you want me to kiss you?" The woman in green nodded her head and waited for a moment.
The blue man took his hand and touched Shego's chin, lifting her lips to his as he made his move. The pair of villains met lips and the world disappeared. Shego finally got her first kiss and Drakken finally got his first love. Both were things that either could obtain so easily but waited so long for.
They broke apart and stared at one another. They could only smile as they walked side by side into the living area. Drakken turned the television off and sat on the couch, offering Shego a seat which she took sweetly. The new couple fell asleep sometime in the next hour, never saying a word, just holding hands.
Tomorrow was a new day. As rare as Drakken's vacation offerings were, the next day called for celebration. Evil could wait for love any day, any time of forever.
THE END
