Ron's Worst Nightmares
Midnight Confessions
By Pat Squared
Yori could not believe that the blond-haired, freckled face creature before her was her friend Ron Stoppable.
The happy-go-lucky, resilient personality was replaced by something that she would forever remember with great sadness. It was as if someone sucked out Ron's spirit.
The soft brown eyes she remembered were marred by guilt and self-loathing.
It's true that no one can punish you as hard as yourself.
Yori hated this new enemy.
If the enemy was flesh and blood, Stoppable-san was skilled enough to defeat it, even if he freaked out and ran around wailing with arms failing. Yori would have sliced it to shreds with her iron bladed fan. However, the enemy lived inside her friend's mind. It would hurt him in a way that not even the he loved ever could.
Yori looked into her father's eyes. Master Sensei returned the look and performed the slightest of nods.
Ron grew up and lost his child-like innocence. The world has truly lost something precious.
Yori knew that she would have only one chance at getting to the truth.
She had to get Ron to open up, share his burden.
Yoriwas not a head shrink. She did not have the type of personality that people turned to. However, Ron needed someone to understand, to teach him that he was not alone, that there was always forgiveness.
Therefore Yori had to use one of the ancient of interrogation techniques - Sake.
It took a lot of sake before Ron would speak of his shame. He gave his heart to that redheaded bitch and the bitch destroyed him.
Ron loved someone who did not return his love. All his life, he was torn apart from those he loved.
That night Yori was exposed to secrets Ron would never share with another soul.
Ron's real name was Vasilii Boiarskii. The name changed occured when he was adopted.
He was an outcast, a bastard child of an ethnic German family living in Estonia. His family was lower than the sewer workers, for they were employable by the state.
His first memory was his mother being executed by a big man in a uniform because his father was some kind of American spy. His grandmother was sent to the gulag. He and his sister lost their status as children became property.
He was smuggled out of the Soviet Union and rejected by his father's politically connected family.
He was forced to become a replacement child for the Stoppable family whose real son Ron died in a pool accident.
He was selected, save from a slow death by neglect and physical about, because he looked like their dead son.
His younger sister ... Anastasia ... was not selected. A few years ago, he found out she died not long after he was selected from being beaten and starved by the orphanage staff.
Roncould not protect his sister as he promised her.
Every female he loved was taken away.
His mother, his sister ... Kim ... Kim was his only chance at salvation and she discarded him like a john discards a used condom.
He was routinely beaten because he was not really the Ron Stoppable that Mrs. Stoppable gave birth to twenty years ago. Mrs. Stoppable would tell him that she hated him because he was not her real son.
Not even when he risked his life or even when he paid off the Stoppable family's mortgage and debts with the Naco royalties, did the Stoppable family appreciate Ron.
No one did. Outcast was Ron's middle name. He was cursed by fate to be unwanted, rejected every time he tried to claim the love that he deserved as a member of the human race.
Yori loved a man whose heart was torn by rejection and guilt.
Yori cursed the gods of fate and love.
Yori loved Ron.
She yerned to be Ron's wife, his life partner ... However to do so would be an injustice. He did not love her that way.To force him to love herwould destroy him until he would no longer be the Ron she loved. He would grow to resent her and Yori could not live with herself if that ever happened.
Ron loved Kim. Kim had to be a bitch. Kim could not even appreciate the fact that she had a friend who would catch a bullet for her.
Yori did not plan for the talk to become something more than an outpouring of the soul. However, her anger at the red head bitch pushed her to do something she did not plan to do. She surrendered her virtue to a man who was crumbling inside.
Despite the drink, Ron was gentle. Ron bring forth the thunder and the rain. Ron share with her a moment that she knew would never be repeated. When Ron share his essence with her, Yori did not care about the consequences. Even if he gave her a child, Yori would still love Ron. There would alway be a place in her heart and her bed for Ron.
Afterwards Yori looked on as Ron as he whimpered in his sleep... begging for forgiveness. He was haunted by all his failures ...
It was not his fault. Kim destroyed him in little bits everyday.
Kim Possible, the oh so perfect teen superhero, was so busy saving the world that she let her comrade damn himself to a lifetime of pain. Ron surrendered everything and how did queen bitch repay him...
Ron was kind, caring, gentle, loyal ... everything a woman could desire. Everything that he shared with Yori for that one night, the queen bitch had it all on a golden platter and threw it all away. The bitch threw away everything for which Yori would sell her soul.
Yori had Ron for one night.
Sadden by the fact that she could not be his salvation, Yori slipped away before Ron would awake. She would tell him that it all was a dream. She would keep tonight's event a secret even from him.
Yori wept as she snuck back to her quarters. The only sounds that registered in her mind were her sobs and the chirping of the crickets. She wanted to keep Ron, but Ron had to be let free to seek the happiness that eluded him.
