"With my freeze ray I am going to stop the world, along with your precious boyfriend, and take over the city." Megamind said with a conviction that even impressed himself. "Ney, with this power, the world will be at my mercy!"
Roxanne rolled her eyes and gave him an expression he had seen time and again. It told him she didn't believe him, but she was willing to play along with his enthusiasm. Megamind willed everything in himself not to blush. Whether it was from the embarrassment or the fact that Roxanne allowed herself to be such an active part in his plans to rule the city, he didn't know.
The tight feeling in his chest, however, brought a smile to his face, a little more genuine than he had initially intended. Roxanne sat, simply waiting for him to continue, always the cooperative damsel. Even when she complained and belittled him, she was playing along with the scene, with the way he planned everything.
Time and again, Megamind was convinced that Roxanne Ritchi would make the perfect Evil Queen, even if she simply were the brains behind the throne. The sharp line of her jaw and soft cut of her hair combated the ever present damsel caricature she had perfected over time.
Over everything, he wished he could simply be open with her, and let her know how incredibly lost he felt without her.
"I wanted to say, I-" Megamind choked, unable to get the words out. Instead, a tumbling of nonsense fell from his lips, and he immediately wanted to slap himself.
Clenching his fist, Megamind drew his Freeze Ray on Roxanne and shot once, instantly paralyzing her in suspended time.
With a deep breath and a shake of his head, Megamind looked away for a moment, composing himself. After a few seconds he turned to Roxanne with a smile.
"I wanted to say, I love your hair, Roxanne."
Quietly she sat, unable to see or hear his confession. Megamind swallowed thickly and walked towards his chair, sitting down with a bounce.
"I wish you could see what I see," he said, unable to stop himself now that he was free to let his heart speak for itself. "when my eyes meet yours."
Megamind pushed himself towards her on his chair, feeling a little giddy for admitting what his mind had been aching to say. His feet dangled over the edge of the arm rests as he looked at the freckles on her frozen expression.
"It's insane, the way you make me feel. I've never felt this before, this inherent reaction to be a fool when I'm around you."
Megamind swiveled around her, putting one foot on the ground. "What's the phrase for it?" He thought for a second, looking away briefly before turning back to her, an earnest longing in his eyes. "I'm sick, Roxanne. It's a sickness that even I can't find the cure to."
Pushing himself away, he stood quickly and made his way to the control panel. Minion would be getting worried, and he needed to get on with the evil plot if he were to make his original time frame. Metro Man, no doubt, would be waiting to hear from him when he realized Roxanne was gone.
Megamind sighed. If only the freeze ray could stop his aching heart.
Giving another glance at Roxanne, there was a physical pull towards her, one he couldn't stop.
"Roxanne," he said, a little loudly in the empty room. His voice echoed off the metal walls, making him feel small and alone.
"Don't you know how I feel?" He bent down, putting his arm around the back of the chair and gingerly laid his head on the cold metal. "You must. You're the most intelligent person I know. And I can't help but think that-" he stopped for a moment, unsure if he should continue, even in her frozen state, he was almost unwilling to voice something so personal.
"-think that you feel the same too. I know you're scared, you don't dare let yourself feel as freely as you could because of those around you. But with me, us as a team, we could bend the entire world to our will. We could make time stand still, just the two of us."
Lifting his head, Megamind brushed himself off, moving away so quickly he was unable to see Roxanne shaking her head, as if coming out of a long sleep.
Roxanne's eyes opened, and she breathed, taking in her surroundings and watched Megamind fiddle with the control panel in front of them.
"That's the plan," he said, still unaware of her conscious presence. "Rule the world. You and me."
Roxanne's eyes widened slightly.
Megamind smiled wistfully to himself at the idea of him and Roxanne ruling side by side. Turning, he said "I love your hair-"
Megamind stopped, his heart dropping as quickly as his expression. Roxanne was wide awake and very much fully aware of what he was saying. The effects of the freeze ray must have worn off in the time it took for him to pour his heart out to her. Megamind wanted to scream.
"What?" Roxanne said, a little hopefulness creeping into her voice.
"Uh, nothing. Nothin- I was just, uhm, saying I loved the air, in here." He laughed nervously, spinning around. His cheeks lit up in a blaze of heat as he tried hard to swallow.
Megamind cleared his throat. "With my freeze ray, I'm going to stop-"
"Wait," Roxanne said, making Megamind pause holding his gun in the air. "What did you say, before?"
There was blood pumping in his ears as he gently lowered his arm. "Before?"
"You said something about ruling the world?" Roxanne's voice was soft.
A blinding relief flooded through him, and he turned around fully to face her, forcing an evil smirk on his face. "Yes, Miss Ritchi. With this freeze ray I am going to rule all of-"
"No," she said, again interrupting him. "You said 'you and me'." There was a small smile on her face. "Is this another ploy to get me to be your Evil Queen?"
Megamind let out a blustering laugh, more out of nerves than anything.
"Oh ho, yes, Miss Ritchi. That position is always open!"
Roxanne gave him a cheeky grin that made his insides wriggle.
"If only you had the ability to freeze time!" Megamind said a little too loudly before shooting her with the ray again. If he were to get on with the evil plot, then she needed to remain frozen.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Megamind turned away again. He made a mental note to modify his ray for a longer lasting period. It was going to cause problems, considering his plan relied on the fact that she wouldn't be able to speak.
Megamind gave Roxanne one last longing look before turning away so fast, his cape swished around his ankles.
"On to ruling Metrocity!"
