Author's Note: Well, I'm just throwing this out there real quick. Sorry for any mistakes. I hope ya'll like it. I can't leave a long note since class is almost over and I have to log out. Well, enjoy!
EDIT: Alright, this is another chapter I've edited (Ch. 24 was also edited) It has to do with Shego and Jean and Shego and Daniel's relationships and the timing of them. I'll fully explain in the edit in chapter 27
Kim entered her shared room with Shego and took a seat on the bed, pulling out her Kimmunicator and checking her messages. Nothing from Wade, so far everything was good. She slowly looked up as Shego entered, walking over to the dresser.
"So," the redhead started, "you were going to tell me about you and the asshole earlier…"
"Yeah."
Kim looked at her enemy and cocked an eyebrow, "So? What happened?"
"Oh? You wanted me to tell you now?" Shego asked, smirking. She pulled out a pair of sweats and a t-shirt and headed for the bathroom. "I'll tell you in a minute. I'm going to get comfy first."
The redhead groaned, "Ugh, fine…" She allowed herself to fall back onto the bed as the green skinned woman left.
As soon as the door closed she shut her eyes and muttered, "You're such an idiot. Why did you kiss her?!" She rubbed her temples for a few seconds until she heard the door creaking open.
She popped her eyes open and watched as Shego walked in and plopped down beside her on the bed.
"Now then, I will say that Daniel wasn't always an asshole," Shego started.
"That's hard to believe."
"Yeah, yeah, I know. I can't even believe it sometimes." She let out a small sigh before continuing. "I met him on this beach. He didn't have a night club or anything yet, he was just another awkward guy. I ran into him, literally. I was still normal at the time; I hadn't been hit by the meteor – so the summer before I was a junior in high school. He was a gentleman, even if he fumbled some. I think I was the first girl he ever actually dated."
"Was he the first person you dated?"
"Nah, I'd dated a few girls before. I'd been in relationships. This was obviously a first for me though. I'd never thought I'd date a guy. My dad was actually proud of me for once in his life. While Daniel wasn't exactly the manliest guy in the world, he was still a guy, and he didn't quite have a stick up his ass." She closed her eyes and sighed. "He used to be quite the romantic. When I first met him I didn't fall for him first thing. He was just an insignificant bug that wouldn't leave me alone."
"What changed?"
"Well, the fireworks used to be once a month then, and it was coming up. Since I was single at the time and hadn't picked up a girl to go with yet, I agreed to go with him. At the party we danced, got drunk, partied. You know, the usual stuff that non-goody goodies would do. I must say, I loved partying too. Well, during the fireworks display he kissed me. I was too drunk to care and went with it. Before I knew what was happening, he and I were back at my place in bed. Surprisingly, I woke up the next morning and he was still there. I guess I wasn't exactly expecting him to be. I mean, I figured he'd only wanted to fuck me to begin with, so when I woke up and he was smiling at me, I realized it was different. I hadn't quite fallen for him yet, but we did decide to go out a few more times."
"How would that make the twins melt down?"
"That wouldn't."
"Huh?"
"I haven't gotten to the part they don't know about. They know all this."
"You told your younger brothers about you having sex with a guy?"
The green skinned woman shrugged, "It didn't really matter. They knew I'd had sex with women before. Hell, they walked in on us one time."
Kim shot up, "They walked in on you?! Oh my gawd… I can't even imagine what that would be like with my brothers!" Her face was burning red.
Shego chuckled, "They didn't see anything Cupcake. We were under the covers. They immediately ran though, I think they were shocked. Relax, it really isn't that big of a deal."
The redhead just shook her head slightly, "I just… woah."
Emerald eyes rolled as the villain said, "Anyways, moving on with the story…"
Kim laid back down on the bed and turned her attention back to her enemy.
"Well, he and I started dating. We didn't sleep together for a while after that, deciding to take it slow. Then…." Shego frowned slightly.
Kim raised an eyebrow as the older woman trailed off.
"A couple weeks after we started dating… we found out I was pregnant."
The redhead shot up with so much force she almost threw herself off the bed. "You were pregnant?!" she hissed, still trying to stay quiet enough that nobody would hear.
"Yeah…"
"What happened?!"
"Look Kimmie, what I'm about to tell you is a secret between me, my mother, Jean, and Daniel. You're about to be the first to hear this story in a long time. Can you not tell anybody this?"
The redhead slowly nodded.
With a deep sigh the woman continued, "I… decided on an abortion. Daniel actually wanted to keep the child. He is a few years older than me, so he was already more mature than I, but I wouldn't have been able to handle it. He said he'd stick with me though, even if I didn't want his child. So, I told my mother and Jean and they joined me and Daniel when I went to get an abortion. That's when things slowly started to go downhill."
Kim swallowed.
"He was still nice to me, but there was always an awkward tension. We'd only had sex that one time, and now I was even less willing to have it again. He always wanted to and I always refused. I was worried that if I wanted to stop he wouldn't. Then, at one point I was hit by the meteor. He said he didn't care that I had turned green, he said it was actually cool."
"So things were looking up?"
"Not… quite."
"What do you mean?"
She sighed, "Look, when I turned green I was uneasy. I told you how I was tormented in high school for my skin color. People don't take that sort of change easily. I mean, I finally knew I had the strength to fight him off if I had to, so I agreed to have sex with him. I hadn't slept with anyone because he and I were dating, and I wanted to stay loyal."
"He hadn't though?"
"He hadn't. I was heading over to his place to tell him that I was finally ready and I walked in on him with another girl. Well, another TWO girls. Apparently dating me had given him some confidence."
"Oh my god… what did you do?"
"First, I set his bed on fire and cursed him out, and then I ran to Jean. She'd been my friend before I was hit by the meteor. We lost contact for a bit when I was hit by the meteor since I was scared to talk to people. Then we met again at the gala and I'd been flirting with girls as per usual. I wasn't actually trying to date any of the girls I flirted with since I was with Daniel… but I still wanted to piss off my father. So I ran to her. She was my support for the longest time. Then after a year… she and I decided to date. Things were rocky because of what happened, but she always stuck by me."
Kim winced, "Oh geez. I'm so sorry…"
Shego shrugged, "It doesn't bother me as much anymore. It was a long time ago."
"Still, that's so horrible!" Kim replied, pain and concern written all over her face.
"Don't worry about it Cupcake, that was so long ago. I'm fine now." Shego then slid under the covers and said, "Anyways, let's get some rest. Tomorrow is going to be exhausting. Those competitions can really take it out of you."
"O-Ok…"
"Turn out the lights," Shego mumbled, rolling onto her side and facing the other direction.
Kim did as she was told and then slid back into bed.
Time ticked away but Kim was still awake. "Say… Shego…"
She got no reply.
"I'm really, really sorry, about everything. All the shit you had to deal with, whether it came from someone else or from me. I'm sorry." She wriggled over to her enemy and slowly wrapped her arms around her. "I'm so sorry."
Shego kept her breathing and heart calm, staring at the wall. She stayed silent but mouthed the words, "I know."
