CHAPTER TWO!

I'm pretty sure that the phrasing I've used the most is 'Roxanne sighed' 'she sighed' 'Megamind sighed' 'he sighed' XD

Roxanne growled. Her back was pressed hard towards the cement wall behind her, her head leaned against it as well. Of what she could see, the blue villain, Megamind, sat same way.

They had been sitting here for hours now, barely speaking. She started to feel her stomach complain about not eating much. How long could she go without food? She knew it was maybe two and a half week.

For humans, at least.

Her head snapped down, staring at Megamind's thin frame.

«What?» he sighed. She could just barely make out his body shape in the dark. Mostly, she didn't care to even open her eyes. It was the same dark anyways.

She furrowed her brows, even if he couldn't see her. «How… how long can you go without food…?» she asked curious. He kept his mouth shut for so long that Roxanne thought that he hadn't heard her. Maybe he fell asleep? Then his neck and back would hurt when he woke up again. And Roxanne didn't wanna be alone. Not now.

So she kicked his leg. «Hey, don't fall asleep on me!» she said, rolling her eyes.

«I waschent fallhing aschleep» he said. Roxanne blinked. That did certainly not sound like as if he just woke up… no, it sounded more like…

«Are you drunk?» she blurted out with.

No, Roxanne, get your shit together. Like, where could be get alchohol from?

He sighed. «Yesch»

«WHAT?!» Roxanne screamed. Megamind flinched. «How the heck is that possible?!»

«Alien» he sighed again, suddenly sober, as if that explained everything. «I'm not sure why or how, but current tests shows that I can get the effects of drunkness if I want to. Apparently, it has something to do about my blood having some of the same effects as alchohol, but I'm not sure.»

Roxanne crossed her arms over her chest. «Now, you are not to do that anymore» she pouted and shot him a stare, even in the dark. «It's very unfair. If I'm gonna suffer, you're too.»

He gaped at her. How could she- she just-what?

He just told her that he could get drunk on purpose and she was like ''Yeah, okay, but don't do it again 'cause I can't do it''. But he got his senses back shortly after. «My, Miss Ritchi, I do believe that you are jealous?» he smirked.

She just huffed.

A silent stretched between them, until Megamind couldn't take it anymore.

«Seven weeks» he whispered.

«What?» Roxanne answered.

«I can go about seven weeks without food before I die out of hunger. Though, I get hungry at the same speed as humans» he told her.

«How do you know that it's seven weeks?» Roxanne asked.

«The world is not easy towards a blue alien freak at age fifteen» he snarled. «Growing up on the street makes you know things you thought you'd never know» he sighed and dropped his hand into his lap.

«The street?» Roxanne gasped. He raised an eyebrow.

«Yes, Miss Ritchi, the street. You know, these filthy, ice cold, lonely roads made of cement where hundreds of people die every. Day.» he said. Not. Amused.

She sighed. «Yeah, I guess that… it's just… I don't know» she ended. He looked confused at her for maybe 30 seconds before he understood that she had ended the conversation.

Well then.

Fun.

Hours came and went. Roxanne grew more and more hungry, and she supposed Megamind did too. They did become thirsty also, but the hunger drowned it.

«Do you think we're gonna get food?» she asked. Megaminds head flew up to look in her direction.

«Are you hungry?» he asked back. Again, with the concern, that was basically dripping of his words. Why does it matter to him?

«Well, yes. We've been here, I don't know, eight hours?» Roxanne sighed and drew a hand through her hair.

«Oh» he said, emotionless. Then he stood up and started yelling again. «HEY! ANYONE OUT THERE! WE HAVE A HUNGRY WOMAN HERE! WHAT KIND OF GENTLEMAN ARE YOU, LEAVING HER TO STARVE LIKE THIS?! SHE'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND FOR GODS SAKE!»

Roxanne stared at him. Then she snickered. That was a sight she would never forget, a blue alien villain, stuck in a closet, screaming for food because she had said she was hungry.

The concern, again. What was up with that?! She didn't even care to correct him about the girlfriend part.

«What about toilet?» he asked, not even looking at her. «Do you have to use the bathroom?»

Roxanne blinked a little more, and decided that fuck it. «Yeah» she said careless.

«AND SHE ALSO HAS TO USE THE FUCKING BATHROOM! YOU CAN WELL AT LEAST LET HER DO THAT!» he yelled, kicking the wall at 'that'.

Just moments later he sat at the floor, in front of her again. In front of her it was placed a plate, filled with chicken and rice. She blinked twice at it, then she looked at the other stuff that suddenly was inside of the closet.

Two botles filled with clear water, two pair of chopsticks and… a light. It was an alive, burning candle. It wasn't much left though. But it sendt light through the closet, and surprised she looked up at Megamind.

He looked up at her at the same time. She couldn't breathe for a moment, because…

His face.

His face.

It looked so surprised, so full of joy, hope, and… oh, for the love of god stop it stop it stop it- was that love? She'd never seen love in someones face before.

She was very sure the love was meant for the food, though.

She was very very sure about that.

Shit.

The blue colour… she was surprised that she had actually missed it. And his eyes, they looked bigger, clearer then before, in daylight. And his cheekbones, they cast shadows down his neck and throat, and-

Roxanne closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

No.

No.

Just no.

And then she looked at the food again, that was placed in front of her. Megamind had said that he could go seven weeks without food… but he also said that he would get hungry at the same rate as humans… that meant that he would get hungrier and hungrier as the time went on, and he would be in much more pain then she would.

«You take it» she said as she looked at him again. This time nothing happened.

«You take it» he said at the same time.

«No, you take it» they said together. Roxanne gave a small but irritated smile.

«It's on your part of the closet!» Megamind exclaimed and pushed himself backwards.

«My part of the closet? Megamind, now you're just being childish.» she sighed, resisting the urge to roll her eyes. «Seriously»

«But I'm not hungry!» he cried.

«Hell yes, you are!» she snapped back. «Now, look, we can share it, okay?»

He froze. And blinked at her, three times. «Sh-share?» he asked, voice low. «You're willing to share your food with me?»

This time it was Roxanne who blinked. «Yeah, sure! Look, it's even two pair of chopsticks and two bottles! He wants us to share!» she said and waved a hand towards the food. The candle were smaller now.

«Why chopsticks?» Megamind asked, brows furrowed.

«He doesn't want us to hurt each other» she realized. They looked each other in the eyes for a few moments.

Megamind gulped and looked away, down at the food. At the same time, they reached after the chopsticks.

Their fingers brushed as they took a pair each. Roxanne cast a glance towards the villain. His cheecks had gotten a fine purple colour.

Is he… blushing? she thought, too late realizing that she was blushing, too.

They ate the chicken in silence. Well, ate was maybe wrong word. Metro Man had chopped it up for them, so they basically attacked the food and swallowed it without chewing. It tasted deliecous.

When they were done, they drank both bottles without hesitating.

And then Roxanne saw it. A piece of paper, placed under the candle that soon would burn out.

«Hey, look!» she said and pointed towards said candle. Megamind had taken the piece of paper before she reached, and read it loud.

«AFTER YOU HAVE EATEN I WILL BRING THE TWO OF YOU TO THE BATHROOM, MEGAMIND FIRST AND THEN ROXIE. HOPE THE FOOD IS TASTING.

WAYNE.»

Roxanne looked at him again, noticing how his brows was furrowed, how be bit his lip so carefully when he tried to focus.

She shook her head.

Focus, Roxanne. Bathroom soon!

«Oh, wait, there's something on the back too» Megamind said. «PS. I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO WASH YOURSELF. JUST GO TO THE BATHROOM AND DO YOUR STUFF.»

Roxanne cursed. Megamind rose again. «WELL THEN! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!» he yelled. The next moment he was gone.

She blinked. O-kay… so Metro Man had brought him to the bathroom. Great. That gave her some time to… to…

Nothing.

Urgh!

She sighed and leaned her head towards the cement wall again.

She couldn't believe this. Why had he locked her up here, together with Megamind? Of course, they both knew that he would never hurt her, but still. Why would he lock her up?

Her rational mind couldn't find any other reason than… Metro Man was going insane.

But no, he couldn't. What was all that speaking about 'when you see what I see'? What was he talking about?

And what the fuck did that have with Megamind to do!?

Jeezez, she was confused. Was she just gonna go along? Or what?

In the end, she decided that she had to talk to Megamind about this.

He was a part of it, after all.

Speaking of the devil, soon after Megamind was again inside the closet. They didn't have time to speak before Roxanne were taken away from him and found herself in a bathroom.

She sighed.

They were going to get out of here, one way or another.

They had no choice.
