Ron knew a fight was going to happen as soon as he saw Shego in his home. He let out a grunt when his body hit the fridge, raising both of his hands he cupped them together and slammed them onto Shego's back. She stumbled low and Ron raised his knee into her chin forcing her to move back granting him much needed space.
Shego grinned feral as she wiped her chin as she felt a little blood trickle out. "You're going to pay for that," she shouted as she shot a burst of plasma at Ron who grabbed a pan to block with, melting the metal.
Ron pitched the ruined pan towards Shego and charged, he knew he had to get out of the kitchen, it was too confining to fight in. Shego batted the metal pan away and braced herself as Ron collided with her, sending them both over the counter and back into the larger room. She rolled to make sure she wasn't pinned down by the teen and exploded a chair that he had quickly swung at her. "Fighting on your home turf is giving you an advantage," Shego taunted as she knew that fighting Stoppable in his own house would be a bit of a hindrance for her.
That only made the fight more exciting in her eyes.
Ron leaped at Shego aiming a kick at her head, he knew he had to keep close because giving her distance would allow her to fling plasma and that could push him further away from her putting him on the defensive and that was going to result in him getting seriously hurt.
However being the better fighter, Shego knew that Ron would do this. 'He's a good fighter, but I have experience he doesn't,' Shego thought to herself as she was a step ahead of the teen. 'Give him time and he'll be one of the best fighters on the planet,' She could see his potential, it excited her further. "Give me what Princess can't," she declared as she latched onto Ron's leg and swung him up and over, smashing his body down onto the coffee table.
The wood broke underneath him and he could feel splinters dig into his back, fighting through the pain he kicked out his legs and felt them plant into Shego's gut sending her tumbling over his couch. Jumping back to his feet Ron vaulted over the couch to try and land on the raven haired villain but she had expected that and shot him with a burst of plasma that knocked him off trajectory and further into his home.
Ron felt his chest burning from the heat of Shego's powers. She wasn't playing around, so neither could he. Bursting forward, he had to close the gap and kept trying to get in hits on Shego's body. A tactic that was working, but it was also getting him hurt as well while they traded equal blows.
"Oh Stoppable," Shego let out a purr. "You know just how to get me going, harder Stoppable, hit me harder!" She shouted as she swept her leg to kick Ron's feet out from under him. She jumped down after him to pin Ron to the floor.
"I'm… getting the feeling… you're an… adrenaline junkie," Ron panted as he struggled to roll and get on top of the pile, being under Shego was not a safe place to be. But he also knew he couldn't keep her down for very long so instead of wasting all his energy wrestling with her, he needed to get back on his feet.
Shego let out a laugh as she felt Ron push her away and she used the momentum to roll back up to her feet. She barely had a moment to brace herself before Ron did to her what she did to start the fight. Ron lifted her up and slammed her into the wall with enough force that it cracked the drywall.
Ron could feel himself getting tired, he'd had an active morning and he hadn't had a chance to rest up before being dragged into an intense fight. 'I don't know how much longer I can keep this up,' he thought, exhausted even after only a few minutes with Shego.
"Keep it coming Stoppable," Shego urged as she wanted the fight to keep going.
Pulling back his fists again he exchanged strikes with Shego and could tell he was taking more damage than her. But another part of him was getting excited too. Something about the sound of his blood rushing in his head, the numbness and pain in his body was thrilling. 'Is this what she gets out of fighting?' Ron wondered as the pain was starting to melt away and it was slowly beginning to feel good. Ron increased the speed and power of his punches as he powered through the pain.
"Yes more!" Shego demanded as she felt bruises forming under her suit where Ron's fists landed. "More, faster," she ordered as Ron had her backed up against a wall again.
Ron didn't even care that Shego stopped attacking and was just dodging his swings, or that his fists were putting holes in the wall, he didn't want to stop. He made a misstep with his all out attack strategy and that was he wasn't focused on defending in the slightest and that resulted in him on his back again and Shego pinning him to the floor. "You wanted more, so you-" His taunt cut off as Shego planted her lips on his.
Ron didn't know what to do, Shego was kissing him. 'We were just fighting and now she's kissing me, what the hell is going on?!' Ron screamed in his head as he felt his arms wrap around Shego and pull her closer to him. 'And why do I like it so much?' he pondered on this revelation as he deepened the kiss.
However the sound of the door opening caused Ron to look to the side and see Betty standing in his doorway a mixture of shock and hurt on her face. Pushing Shego away who chuckled as she stopped straddling her opponent. "I'll see you again Lover Boy," She teased as she sprinted across the room and jumped out a window shattering the glass and disappearing into her hovercraft that was waiting on the lawn.
Ron didn't know what to do when Shego got off him, sitting up on his elbows he winced as he could feel the pain starting to return now that his own adrenaline had worn off. He heard Betty hurrying over to his side as he slowly started to get up off of his floor. "Hey," he weakly said.
"Hey?" Betty said trying to restrain her anger and frustration. "That's the best you can do? After everything you've been through today, a hey is all I get!" Betty snarled as she led Ron over to his couch.
"Well, I'm not really sure what just happened to be honest," Ron admitted as he was still coming to grips with the fact that his first kiss was with Shego, he initially wanted to say she stole it. But he felt it was more like she had won it. As once he thought on it even a little, he didn't dislike it, he even pressed her against himself for more.
"Why was Shego in your home?" Betty demanded to know.
Ron shrugged. "I think it's because I promised her another round," He said as he recalled what set off the fight. "On Monday, I guess because I didn't stay down she wanted to continue the fight. So she came to me to collect on it."
"This is ridiculous, you aren't safe here, not if she can just enter your home and attack you," Betty looked around at the destruction in the home. On a grander scale it wasn't so bad, scorch marks on the walls a few destroyed pieces of furniture and holes in the walls. There was no structural damage that she could see so it was mostly cosmetic damage, but it worried her more that this had even happened. "They are getting bolder if they are coming out to attack directly instead of scheming."
Ron nodded as that made sense. "Maybe Shego was just getting antsy without anything to do and she's the one picking fights?" Ron guessed as he wasn't entirely sure what had gotten into Shego lately.
"Speaking of picking fights," Betty glared at Ron. She decided that she didn't have enough information to go off of in regards to Shego, but once she got her hands on her. 'I'll lock her up to keep her away from my Ron,' she possessively promised, as she was a smart enough woman to recognize that it was jealousy that was making her so angry. She was mad that the villainess was free to make her moves so openly without repercussions, that she was young enough to do so without the ever hanging fear of rejection.
"You uh, saw that?" Ron nervously rubbed his arm as she had pulled out her own phone to show the shaky video. "How'd you find out about that so soon?" He wondered as he hadn't expected this to be important enough to be noticed by GJ.
"It's getting shared all across the country," Betty smirked. "Didn't even have to do any digging if it's one of the first videos that pop up on popular tags."
"Oh," Ron blushed.
Betty gently wrapped an arm around Ron, emboldened by her need to start making moves or else she worried that she would get left out if Shego was forgoing all decorum and just taking what she wanted. "So do you feel up to telling me what that was about?" Wanting to hear his side of the story since she knew that Ron was not one to instigate a fight against civilians.
"I can do that," Ron nodded. "Do you want me to make some dinner first?" he started to get up before Betty pulled him back down.
"You need to rest, I'll order some food, then you can tell me what is going on in that school while I check your injuries," Betty stated, broaching no argument from Ron who knew it would be useless. After setting down her phone she motioned for Ron to start stripping.
"You know yesterday you were worried about me doing unscrupulous things to your body and here you have me half naked," Ron teased as Betty started to give him a check up.
"I'm not above hitting my own patients Stoppable," Betty warned the young man who was treading dangerous waters with her. "Now let's start at the beginning, what caused this fight?" She asked as she worked her way down his body. Ron had a cut on the side of his head that she was a little worried about, but if he kept talking it must not be so bad that she couldn't use that time to go over the rest of him first.
"Jealous ex boyfriends, apparently the girls stepped up to stop them from bullying me yesterday," Ron sighed as he felt Betty's hands drift over his body. He had to stop himself from shivering when she rested them on his bare chest. "I…" he gasped suddenly when she squeezed his ribs.
"You are not doing that bruised rib any favors with your constant fights Ron," Betty shook her head as she continued further down to his stomach, wanting to make sure he hadn't ruptured any of his organs.
"They really helped me out and I had hoped that the bullying would stop there," Ron said as he continued his tale.
"You have bullies?" Betty said in shock as she didn't know of Middleton High School's social structure but to hear that this sweet young man was being bullied was not what she expected to hear.
"Yeah, I'm not exactly popular." Ron admitted.
"How?" Betty questioned even if it was rude to do so. "Ron, you are a great guy, you save the world, and if what my agents have managed to pull up, you are wealthy beyond reason."
"It's only a few hundred million dollars," Ron scoffed. "Plus I've had money before and I turned into a huge jerk. So I try to ignore that I have all that sitting in a bank, works out better for me to not be tempted."
Betty was impressed by his maturity, most people would be flaunting that they had any kind of money and he was one of the richest people in the country and he just didn't do anything with it. She was listening to him talk so much that she didn't realize that her hands had wandered lower than was appropriate and she was resting her palms just above his pelvis.
"Uh, Betty?" Ron gulped as he looked at how dangerously close her hands were to his crotch. "You uh…" Unsure how to bring up that detail. Because the feeling of her hands on him was not unwelcome.
Betty's eyes widened as she quickly pulled her hands back. "I'm so sorry Ron." She said horrified that she had done that.
"No uh, no harm done," Ron nodded as he couldn't look at Betty. 'She was just distracted Ron, keep it together, you are just all messed up from Shego's kiss, not every girl you find hot wants you that way, hell none of them do.' Ron chastised himself as he sat up with a grunt.
Deciding it was time to end her examination before she lost herself again, Betty sat next to Ron on the couch. "I meant what I said though, you are a great guy. I don't get how you are the targets of bullies," Betty picked the conversation back up before she almost got fresh with her patient.
Shrugging Ron leaned back and relaxed. "I dunno, I just assume it's because of my promise to never be normal. I just don't fit in."
"I like that about you Ron," Betty said. "I think that the world would be a much better place if more people stopped trying to be normal and accepted who they were."
Ron chuckled at the well meaning words and closed his eyes. "I think the world would be a much better place with more people like you in it too."
A few minutes passed in silence as Betty leaned against Ron, content with the others presence as they didn't need to say any words. Unfortunately the sound of the doorbell ringing brought them back to reality and Betty got off the couch to get the delivery. "Woah," the delivery driver said as they looked into the home and saw the destruction.
"Yeah yeah," Betty waved off as she shoved some cash in the drivers hand and shut the door. Bringing the food over to the couch, Ron opened one eye and smiled at her.
"I missed you," he said teasingly as Betty sat back down and handed him a styrofoam container of food.
Betty started to dig into her own meal. "Now don't you start getting the hopes of women like me up Ronald." She warned.
"I think I'm just getting my own hopes up," Ron replied. "I don't know if I'll be up to dancing with you again tonight though."
Betty smiled as she nudged Ron. "We'll dance at my place next time," she said.
"It's a date," Ron happily stated, deciding to take his shot. To his delight Betty had agreed to having Ron come by her place. She stated it was because his home needed some repairs and he could make use of her kitchen in the meantime.
"You'd be the first too," Betty joked as she never had time to do more than heat up a frozen meal in it.
To their dismay it started to get late and Betty knew she couldn't stay another night. She told herself it was because he didn't need a minder, but she also knew that the more she stayed the less likely she would be to leave.
Ron was feeling much the same way. After waving to Betty as she drove off, he shut the front door and trudged through his home upstairs to his room, another night alone.
