Shego had had enough of Frugal Lucre. At first, it was fun to watch Lucre annoy the shit out of Drakken (of course, she gave him some helpful tips), but now, she was pissed. Not only did Frugal and Drakken bond, but they were ignoring her. She was even made to be the distraction in their plan, and she was so over it. (She briefly considered leaving Drakken for a while to spend some quality time with Martin Smarty, but she was in no way dealing with his kid.) So now she was back to square one, watching Drakken and Lucre bond and plot and completely dismiss her. Seeing Drakken plot with someone else made her blood boil (not with jealousy- no no, she was not jealous. She was- okay she was jealous). Drakken was hers, dammit, and she was sick of other people trying to waltz in and take him (first DNAmy, then Warmonga, and now this loser). If Drakken wanted to get distracted that easily, then fine, but she wasn't going down without a fight. It was time for her to play hard ball.
She put on that blouse- that green blouse that he couldn't help but stare at everytime she wore it, and she put on a short, black skirt. She smirked as she looked at herself in the mirror. He may be ignoring her now, but he won't be for long. She walked down the hall and entered the open area of the lair, where Drakken and Lucre were plotting their next idea. She rolled her eyes at Lucre's words that were completely insane, but Drakken was eating it right up. One idiot wannabe and one gullible genius. What could possibly go wrong?
She whistled as she sat in her chair, waiting for him to look at her. She whistled louder, trying to grab his attention. She groaned to herself when he didn't turn around. This is how it's going to be, huh? She sighed as she got up and walked toward the two boys, who were both sitting by the big screen, looking through photos of what they wanted to steal next. Shego snaked her arm around Drakken and leaned down so that her face was closer to him. "Whatcha doing there, Doc?"
Drakken didn't look at her, but he at least acknowledged her presence. "We're trying to decide our next move, Shego." Lucre, who had noticed her, got bug eyed at what she was wearing. Wrong guy . Lucre's attention just made her sick. She sighed as she let her fingers trail Drakken's arms. What the hell was his problem? This should not be this hard. Drakken looked at her fingers, confused at what she was doing, and when he finally turned to face her, he gasped. "Shego!" He stood up almost immediately, causing him to leave her touch.
She smirked as he eyed her. "Yes?"
Drakken looked back at Lucre for a moment, who was eyeing Shego himself. That alone irritated Drakken enough for him to grab her by the arm and drag her into the hallway. "What are you doing?"
She smiled innocently. "What do you mean?"
He tried to keep his eyes focused on her face as much as possible, but sweet Jesus, it was impossible not to look. "What are you doing wearing that?" he gestured to her clothing.
She shrugged. "Does it bother you? I can take it off."
She smirked as she reached for the bottom of her shirt, ready to lift it above her head when his hands on hers forced her to stop. "Uh, Shego. I uh-" he blushed as his hands gripped hers tighter. "Why are you doing this?"
She stood on her tiptoes, bringing her face closer to his. "Because I'm getting real tired of being ignored, Dr. D." She kissed him angrily, and she got more aggressive as she pushed him up against the wall and kissed him harder.
Out of weakness, he kissed her back for a moment, but he eventually pulled away from her. "I, uh, but you-" he couldn't formulate his words. All he could do was look at her. His eyes flickered from her eyes to her lips to her chest to her legs and back to her lips before finally meeting her eyes once again. "I thought we decided not to do this anymore."
She ran her hand down his chest and shrugged. "Maybe I changed my mind."
His mouth fell open. He had missed her touch with every fiber of his being, but this was toxic. She only wanted him because she was bored, and it frustrated him to no end that he wanted to give in knowing very well what she was doing. "Shego, this isn't a good idea."
She frowned. There was absolutely no way he was rejecting her. Not after everything they'd been through. Not after she put on this skimpy outfit. Not after everything she felt for him. He noticed her change in demeanor and sighed. "It's not that I don't want to, it's just-" ugh, he hated himself right now. There were no words to make this better.
She pushed him away from her and tried to collect herself. "How long do you plan on keeping this silly charade up?"
He raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
She rolled her eyes. "Just forget it. Go back to Lucre." She turned away from him and walked off, leaving him confused. She smirked to herself as she left him in the hallway. Oh, this was far from over.
…
Drakken returned to his seat next to Lucre with his lips swollen and his mind going haywire. "What was that about?" Lucre asked.
Drakken blushed automatically. "Nothing. She just- she's going out later is all."
Lucre rested his elbow on the desk. "Man, your sidekick is smoking hot."
Drakken groaned. "Nygh! Just shut up, Lucre!"
"And that green plasma is awesome!" he continued, ignoring Drakken's last comment. "I mean, holy shit, she's hot and a total badass," he paused for a moment until the lightbulb in his brain finally went off. "Wait, smoking hot sidekick. Lives with you. Fire comes out of her hands. Dude, is that what the scars on your back are from? Did you bang your sidekick?"
Drakken gritted his teeth. Out of all the things he could have remembered from their time sharing a prison cell, he just had to remember those damn scars on his back (they were mostly healed and faded now, but that didn't matter because Lucre had seen them and absolutely knew they were there). "I said shut up, Lucre."
Lucre chuckled. "Oh my God. I cannot believe you were able to score with her. No offense. You're great and all, but she is so out of your league, man."
Drakken took a breath in and let it out slowly in an attempt to calm himself. "Lucre?"
He grinned. "Yes?"
"Shut up."
….
Shego kept the skimpy outfit on. Mark her words, by the end of the day, Lucre would be gone, and Drakken would be in her bed. He wanted to play hard to get, but he was weak. She knew he would fold; she just needed to give him a little push.
She rejoined Drakken and Lucre in the open area in the lab, where both of them stopped talking and stared at her. She smirked. She could go without Lucre looking at her like that, but she had Drakken right where she wanted him just by entering the room in this outfit. "Is there anything I can help with?" she asked sweetly.
Drakken raised an eyebrow. "Since when do you want to be helpful with anything?"
She forced herself to keep her smile. He was right. Just asking the question made her want to gag, but if he was going to be difficult, she needed to change her attitude. She shrugged. "I am in the mood for stealing." She walked over to him, and rather than sit in the empty chair next to him, she sat on his lap. Lucre's eyes grew wide, and Drakken's cheeks immediately grew hot. She faced the big screen, completely ignoring the shocked reactions from both men. She grabbed the mouse and flipped the screen. "Ohh, what about that one, Doc?" She leaned back so that her back was against him.
Drakken's mind was spiraling. What the hell was she doing? And why was she doing it in front of Lucre? Even when they were hooking up, they never did shit like this when other people were around, so what was she thinking? "Uh, Shego," he whispered in her ear so that Lucre couldn't hear. " What are you doing?"
She turned her head so that she could look at him. "I don't know what you mean," she whispered back innocently.
The lightbulb went off in his own brain as he finally understood why she was doing what she was doing. He grinned, fighting the urge to laugh. "You're jealous, so you're trying to get attention, but it won't work."
She smirked and leaned further back into him so that she could whisper into his ear. "It's pretty clear that it's already working, Doc." He raised an eyebrow in confusion, but his face grew red once again when he realized what she was talking about. He had hardened, and that had not gone unnoticed by her.
Lucre cleared his throat. "Should I leave you two alone?"
"Yes," Shego said while Drakken simultaneously gulped a nervous "No."
Shego shot Drakken a glare, but he shook his head. It doesn't matter what she does. Her plan will not work. She doesn't just get to decide to sleep with him because she's bored and feeling insecure. "Shego was just leaving," Drakken finally said as he practically shoved her off of him and crossed one leg over the other in an attempt to hide his excitement.
She brushed herself off and held back the urge to ignite her hands. Instead, she grinned at him. "Yes, I was just leaving. But don't worry, Doc. I'll be back."
When she left the room, Lucre gripped Drakken's arm. "Dude! She was so coming onto you."
Drakken shook his head. "No. She just likes to be a tease." He sighed. "Let's just move on, Lucre." And so they did.
….
Shego was in the kitchen, putting groceries away. (She should have changed back into her jumpsuit before she went to the store, but she hadn't, and the amount of men she had to put in their place was unsettling). It was fate that Drakken and Lucre had walked in, talking about their plans while deciding what to eat for dinner. She grinned. She had not planned on this encounter, but hey, she can improvise.
Drakken stopped when he saw her, and Lucre moved his eyes back and forth, watching the two of them. Shego grinned. "I bought cupcakes if you want some."
Lucre shrugged. "I could go for a cupcake right now." The three sat down at the table, and she pushed the cupcake container over to them, but not before stealing one for herself. She ran her finger through some of the icing and licked it seductively, not breaking eye contact with Drakken.
Drakken squirmed in his seat at the table, doing everything in his power not to crack. Lucre was going on and on about something, oblivious to Shego's tactics, but Drakken couldn't concentrate when all he could do was look at her.
She smirked at him as her foot met his under the table, and she continued with the cupcake. "How's the plan coming, Doc?" she asked innocently, holding back a giggle at his clear discomfort. She let her foot rub up and down his leg, and he swallowed. Dear God, why?
He cleared his throat. "It's uh, it's coming along," he finally got out. Her foot did not stop roaming his leg, and he stood up abruptly, trying to collect himself. "We should just call a pizza, Lucre, and get back to work."
Shego frowned. He thinks he's so tough, but he's about to crack. She can see it in his eyes. Before she really knew what she was doing, she threw a cupcake at him, the icing landing right on his cheek. "Shego! What the hell are you-"
He stopped when she came over to him and licked the icing off of him. "You know, Doc," she whispered. "This icing could be useful in the bedroom." Lucre's mouth dropped as he watched the two go back and forth.
Drakken tensed, but he quickly recovered as he took the icing off of another cupcake and rubbed it on her face. "How do you like it?" he growled. She smirked as she reached for another cupcake, and before they knew it, they were in a cupcake war. Shego laughed as a cupcake hit her chest, the icing sticking to her shirt. She wiped her hand across her chest so that she could smear icing all over Drakken's lab coat. Drakken gasped. "Do you know how hard it is to clean this coat?"
She shrugged, which frustrated him. He walked into her bubble, attempting to rub the icing on her, but she grabbed him by the coat, pulling him into her as she kissed him. He tasted like vanilla frosting, which made her smile into the kiss. When they pulled apart, Drakken cleared his throat and turned his attention to Lucre, who was doing everything he could to not get messy. "Uh, Lucre, I think it's time for you to leave." Shego smirked at his words. Finally.
Lucre, still shocked from what he just witnessed, tried to compromise. "But Dr. Drakken, we have so many plans. Are we just going to forget about-"
He didn't get to finish before Shego blasted him. "He said leave!" Lucre nodded as he backed away from the two villains and left the lair in a hurry.
Drakken turned his attention back to Shego. "You have been torturing me all day," he said as he moved some strands of hair from her face that were sticky from the frosting.
She giggled. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
He smirked. "Oh, yes you do."
He lifted her up on the counter, and she responded by wrapping her legs around his waist. "I don't like being ignored, Dr. D."
Drakken kissed her hungrily. "Well, you definitely have my attention now."
She smiled as she brought his face back down to hers. "Good." His lips found their way to her neck, and she let out a soft moan. She began unbuttoning his lab coat, and he helped her take it off.
Drakken let his mouth drop from her neck down to her chest, where he licked some of the frosting off of her. He smiled when she tangled her fingers in his hair. "I've missed you," he whispered. He didn't really mean to say it, but it came out nevertheless.
Her breathing picked up as the tingles from his touch and his words shot through her body. "We should- go- bed." She tried to say in between her heavy breaths.
He lifted her off the counter, and they kissed as they exited the kitchen and entered the hallway. Hank had turned the corner, and his jaw dropped when he saw his two boss' frenching as they kept moving, paying no mind to him as Drakken picked Shego up once again and carried her to his bedroom.
…
Shego's head rested on Drakken's chest as they both caught their breath. He stroked her hair gently, and she snuggled deeper into him. "Shego?"
"Hmmm?"
"You didn't burn me."
She stayed silent. She hadn't burned him. What was it that Hego said? Control your emotions to control your powers. As it turned out, Shego didn't have to tell Drakken how she felt to control her powers. She just had to admit it to herself. She kissed his chest as she turned her face into him. Accept it. Embrace it. The powers will take care of itself. She lifted her head and kissed him softly. "I guess the problem fixed itself, didn't it?" He smiled at her, and she kissed him one more time before letting her head drop back down to his chest as she closed her eyes.
