Ch.31

Shego spent the morning and early afternoon with Yori. They had sparing session in which they went at it seriously enough to appreciate each other's skill and spent the rest of the time bonding. Now that Ron should be on the way back Shego couldn't help thinking about the night before and falling asleep in Ron's embrace. And Shego had to admit she found the experience enjoyable. Just as she was about to delve deeper into that line of thought, Shego heard Ron announce he was back and a smile blossomed on her face. Shego knew Yori had a similar reaction.

"We're in the livingroom Ron." Shego announced hoping to see him a little bit faster.

After hearing her words, Ron entered the livingroom with his trademark grin and giving of a healthy dose of 'Ronshine'. "Hey ladies how was your day?"

Seeing Ron in a good mood, Shego attributed a majority of it to last night's events and blushed at the thought. Her smile widened knowing that she made his day.

"We had a great time, Ron-san." Yori answered for both herself and Shego before she asked. "What about your day? From the looks of it, it was to your liking."

"It's been great." Ron admits before continuing. "I even found out it won't take as long as I thought before I catch up in school. Add to that the projects we started and its a lot to look forward to."

"That's good." Shego adds before asking with a little dread, Zorpox still fresh in her memory. "What kind of projects are you doing?"

"Well to be honest it's a couple of ideas I had while I was evil." Ron admits and both he and Shego tremble at the mention of it.

~~~~~

Yori found it interesting that both Shego and Ron trembled at the mention of Ron's time being evil, reminding her that Ron's description had likely glossed over major details. Just as she was processing that, Shego asked a series of rapid fire questions.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Shego asks and continues. "Are they as dangerous as the quake machine and storm generating thing? When did he even have time to think of this? I mean he built two doomsday devices, a tracking program for princess device frequency and had time to figure out some of Dr. D's devices. Wait is it a world domination thing? What about-"

Seeing Shego out of sorts and Ron trying to be small enough to not freak her out, Yori decided she had to intervene. "Shego-san, one moment. Give Ron-san a chance to explain."

Taking a calming breath and seeing Ron shrunk in on himself, his previous good mood nowhere to be seen, Shego apologized. "Sorry about that Ron, still processing when it comes to Zorpox."

"I completely understand." Ron admitted before moving on to explain. "As for your questions, it's actually pretty cool things. One is a neuro-machine interface* that originally was designed to turn almost everyone into Naco making drones but with slight adjustments can help certain disabled people regain some autonomy or just improve people's daily lives. (AN: Okay so I had to put this in here. It's an Accel World reference and in time I will bring the Neuro-Linker in as well, though none of the character's so need to worry. They are my favorite anime and Light Novels if you want to give them a try. Anyways enjoy.)

By this point Yori could see the smile return to Ron's face and she couldn't help joining in. Looking to her side Yori noticed Shego was smiling as she looked at Ron's expression.

"Next was a new a compact battery that has enough power to keep the device running without compromising mobility and safety, which I'll need to talk to Wade about." Ron continued explaining already with his trademark grin. "I'm hoping for it to last forty eight hours and be cost effective. The rest are a couple of toys that are my own ideas."

Yori noticed Rufus start climbing towards Ron's shoulder as Shego comments. "Naco making drones, huh."

"Yeah." Ron admits while nervously scratching the back of his head.

"Still, to repurpose the device into one that could help people, that is admirable Ron-san." Yori compliments but before she could say more Rufus cuts in.

"Hungry." Rufus says to Ron.

"Got it buddy." Ron answers and asks. "So Shego, the rest of the day is yours to choose so what would you like to eat?"

Taking a moment to think Shego ponders her options before speaking. "How about a Chinese style meal and chocolate cake for desert?"

"That sounds like an interesting choice. What brought that on Shego-san?" Yori asks not seeing why she asked for chocolate cake instead of a chinese desert.

"Oh I've felt in the mood for chinese but I've been craving chocolate all day." Shego admits.

"I have something in mind but I'm missing some of the ingredients. If you can get them while I start on the prep work, I think you ladies will be satisfied."

~~~~~

Ron had not exaggerated, Shego thought as she looked around realizing that there was no more food to eat. Seeing Yori blushing while licking her lips, Shego knew she wasn't the only one who looked for more. Ron had already gotten up to put some plates away as he got desert and from his blushing, Shego knew that their satisfied eating sound gave him a hard time walking right now. A few minutes later, Ron brought over the cake.

"I call it, Seven Layers of Heaven!" Ron announced unveiling a seven layer chocolate cake, divided by what seemed to be melted chocolate, with whip and strawberries on top.

"Wow, this looks amazing Ron." Shego complimented meaning every word and looking forward to trying it.

"That it does Shego-san." Yori admitted.

"Hnk pass!" Rufus throws in his opinion after taking a deep breath.

"Thanks but trust me it won't disappoint." Ron said as he began cutting out some slices.

Shego did not remember finishing the slice. All that went through her mind was tasting a delicious chocolate cloud and being caressed by Ron's bigger hands. When she came to her senses Ron's gaze on her body felt like a lover's caress and Shego had a hard time restraining herself.

"Mmnn!" Yori's moan brought both the attention of Shego and Ron, who gulped, his blush turning a shade redder.

"That was divine, Ron." Shego admitted and began to tease him. "Anymore and I won't be able to live without you."

Shego expected Ron to stammer or something but he instead seemed to challenge as he spoke. "Seconds?"

Licking her lips and speaking in a tone she was sure got her commitment across Shego accepted. "Yes!"

~~~~~

Ron had no idea why he challenged Shego but at the moment her words made something inside him want to have her by his side for a long time and he acted on them. Just as Ron didn't expect to challenger her, he wasn't expecting Shego to accept. So when she did in a tone that left no room for doubt he wondered if they were thinking the same thing or if Shego misunderstood him. Still, he gave her a slightly bigger slice, making sure to look into her eyes when he did.

A while later, Ron gave Yori and Rufus seconds as he enjoyed another slice himself. After eating Ron put away the food and moved onto the dishes. "Ladies I'll meet you in the livingroom after I finish here."

"Actually I need to grab a shower and get ready for the drive back so I'll meet you there in a while." Shego excused herself making her way upstairs.

"I will keep you company, Ron-san." Yori commented and Ron thinking that sending her alone to the livingroom would be pointless and a bit cruel he accepted.

"Okay." Ron said.

Ron and Yori finished the dishes fairly quick and made their way to the livingroom where they continued to chat. They had gone over various topics such as; Is she enjoying Middleton? Which Yori replied a little but she mostly enjoyed her time with Ron. Did she want to be with Ron for tomorrow's tutoring or did she have other plans? No plans so Yori would be with him for tutoring. Like this they spent the time till Shego came back downstairs, her suitcase in tow.

~~~~~

Shego made her way downstairs already disguised and having tucked away two of Ron's jerseys into her suitcase leaving a surprise for him under his pillow in exchange. Once down, she saw both Yori and Ron with a relaxing atmosphere around them as they were talking. When they looked her way and noticed the already disguised Shego both their expressions dimmed slightly, for which Shego was secretly happy for.

"Its almost time that I go." Shego stated knowing they both knew the same thing.

Sighing, Ron spoke. "You're right Shego. It's been fun at least. Maybe we should do it again."

"It's been a pleasure to meet you Shego-san." Yori says with a slight bow.

"A pleasure to meet you too, Yori. You have my number so keep in touch." Shego looks from Yori to Ron. "And Ron, you're right. Maybe my place next time. Call me and we'll coordinate."

"I promise." Yori/Ron replied in unison.

"Okay, now walk me to my car." Shego commanded.

After putting her suitcase in the backseat since the trunk was full with all the shopping she'd done, Shego turned and surprised both Ron and Yori by bringing them into a hug.

"I'm willing to try and make whatever it is we have going work!" Shego told the two and kissed each before turning and getting into the driver's seat.

Ron seemed to think a moment before he spoke. "You know I feel the same way. Let's no let our job's get in the way."

"Let's give it our best Shego-san." Yori added.

"Okay, I'm heading out now." Shego waves from behind the wheel and turns the BMW on.

"Drive safe." Ron stated before adding. "Give me a call when you get in to be sure."
