Ch. 16
Just after Ron and Yori left for school, Shego found herself in a predicament. She wanted to find out more about Ron and was presented the perfect opportunity to do so, but felt like if she did, she would cross a line with him that would strain their relationship. 'What was their relationship? They barely knew each other and although she wouldn't admit, the closest thing she's had to a friend is Drakken. Wait...are we friends? Can we even be friends?' Shego wondered to herself, lost in her thoughts. She was sitting on the couch, wearing one of his jerseys over her underwear and flipping through the channels.
After the morning run and her shower, Shego found herself in her underwear, with the clothes she originally planned to wear thrown onto Ron's bed and looking into his closet. She didn't know what got into her, she never had the compulsion to wear someone else's clothes, not even previous partners, yet here she was. She just felt certain that wearing the jersey was going to feel really comfortable and after debating for a while, Shego threw caution to the wind and put it on. It felt awkward at first, but after a while it was like something clicked.
When she went downstairs with Yori, Shego was delighted to see his expression. Ron looked from one to the other with an innocent attraction. She could almost see the question in his eyes, wondering if there was anything underneath. But unlike most men that looked at her, he pushed it aside looking at her, not as a score or someone to bed, just her. She wouldn't say it aloud, but Shego was enjoying herself. It was different than her usual interaction with people and that was at the center of her predicament.
Shego didn't know how long she was lost in her thoughts. She only realized the time when her phone went off, the only indication, the vibration between her breast. As she looked, she noticed it was a text from the new contact, Ron. 'Knew he kept the number.' She smirks before reading the text. After a moment of thought, she sent him what she felt in the mood for, it unknowingly being his regular order.
~~~~~
While walking home, Ron and Yori discussed the plans for his training session that night. Yori had decided that she would be sparing with him and Ron's mind kept going elsewhere as he thought about it. Although, he barely remembered the run that morning, he would be lying if he said he forgot her in training gear. What could he say, he was a young man and Yori a very attractive young woman. He was in the middle of recalling Yori in her training gear, when she called his name to get his attention. "...Ron-san."
"Huh?" Ron stopped looking behind him. "Sorry, Yori, can you repeat that?" Ron said trying to shake her image away, but to little success. "I was thinking of something." He adds hoping he isn't blushing. From Yori's small smile, he knows he's as red as a street light.
"You just walked past your house, Ron-san." Yori repeats.
"Oh right!" Ron realizes looking around. Walking back towards his driveway, Ron joins Yori, walking to the door. "Oh, that reminds me, we should get you a key." He states, unlocking the door and stepping out of the way so she could walk in. "I completely spaced out today. I was so fo-"
The rest of his words were lost even to him, as he caught sight of what was in front of him. He did not even realized he dropped the bag of food he was holding, replaying the image of the last few seconds, sure that he was dreaming. Just after he turned around after closing the door, he sees Shego, still wearing his jersey. She was reaching into a cabinet in the kitchen, exposing what he thought to be a perfect round ass, accentuated by black lace underwear.
~~~~~
Yori snapped out of it almost as soon as she saw Shego. Even to a woman with various forms of training, the sight of Shego in the kitchen stunned her for a moment. Luckily, she grabbed the bag of food before it hit the floor. Turning she saw Ron with a dazed expression, causing her to sigh for a moment.
"I was wondering when you guys were gonna return, am starving." Shego says from the kitchen, still unaware of the effect she had on both teens. "What's up with Ron?" She asks turning.
"That, Shego-san, I believe was because of you." Yori states, looking at Ron's dazed expression. In a corner of her mind she wonders if she would have the same impact on the young man.
"Me?" Shego wonders for a moment, before putting two and two together. "Oh!" She says feeling exhilarated and moving past them, before either teen noticed the slight blush on her cheeks.
Yori watched Ron a couple more seconds, unaware of Shego's thoughts before calling out to him. "Ron-san, Ron-san." When she got no response, she tried something he mentioned. "Ron-san, your pants are down."
~~~~~
"W-what! Oh man!" Ron responds reaching for his pants. "Huh?" It took a moment before it all came to him. Once it did, Ron looked up to Yori's slightly sad look. He recognized the expression instantly and the realization brought vile climbing up his throat. It was the same look he practiced to conceal before a mirror. The same look he hoped, yet dreaded Kim finding on his face, but his fears of the consequences pushed him to conceal it.
Without a word he pulled Yori into his arms, ignoring her surprise. He could feel her uncertainty and thinking for a moment, he began speaking to her in Japanese, barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry, I know the pain you're feeling and I never thought to cause it in another. Much less someone who means so much to me." At his words, he could feel Yori tremble in his arms before slowly returning the hug. In a moment of courage, he decides to speak his mind. "Don't say anything and listen." Ron begins, feeling a tremor run through Yori before her grip tightens and she nods slowly. "You're an extremely attractive woman that few can compare to and in my eyes that number decreases even more. I know I count myself lucky to have you in my life. I ask that you give me sometime to think, but know that I see your feelings. Although, I don't know what you see in me, having enough fears to paralyze an army but I'll give you an answer. I don't know what it'll be but I promise to be as sincere as I am now, even if it costs me my life." Ron vows, feeling his words cause a tremor once again go through Yori. Once he feels her nod, Ron puts a little more strength into his hug.
Just as softly her hears Yori whisper to him in Japanese. "I understand, but Ron-san, when did you learn Japanese?"
At her words, Ron realizes that he blew a secret no one besides Rufus knew. 'What could he say? That after meeting her in Japan he found himself thinking of once in a while and decided to pick up a new language! Nope, the young man decided that conversation was for another day, if ever. He could feel his heartbeat speeding and was sure she could hear it as his thoughts raced, looking for an appropriate answer.
Luckily for Ron his parents timing never failed to surprise him. As the phone went off he nearly jumped. Before Yori could even react, Ron was out of the jersey and next to the phone, his back to both Yori and Shego who had an almost longing look in her eyes, before it disappeared as she resumed eating and he sighed into the phone. "Stoppable Residence."
~~~~~
Shego was lost in the moment, enjoying Yori's words. She did not realize at first the things going on between the teens, until she turned to thank them for the food. Her arm lifted slightly towards the two, before reaching for her food. Shego squashed whatever started going through her as she watched the two. The moment ended quickly as the phone rings. Ron's movements escaping even her as he leaves his jersey in Yori's arms and moves to the phone, his back to them.
"Stoppable Residence." She hears looking back to Yori, who while blushing hugs the jersey a moment before looking up. Their eyes meeting a moment, Shego tries to stay casual but sees a slightly complicated look come across Yori's face.
"I can confirm that its really comfortable." She teases, choosing not to linger on the moment any longer and from Yori's returning blush, she knows the young woman is probably gonna start thinking how to confirm her words and keep the jersey.
~~~~~
"I understand dad, rerouted vacation to Rome, best time of the year...yeah, have fun. Tell mom I lo-" Ron stopped speaking as the line went dead. To think it'd happen again, a seventh consecutive year. Sighing a moment, Ron puts on the practiced facade for times like this, before turning to speak.
"Shego, apologies for bringing the food late. Had to take care of my future tutoring." Said Ron getting Shego's and Yori's attention back on him. "Yori, I'll be going upstairs to change for our practice session, be back in fifteen." Saying till here, Ron headed for the stair before either had a chance to respond.
~~~~~
"Did he sound odd to you as well, Yori?" Shego asked as Ron headed up the stairs.
"Yes, Shego-san." Replied Yori.
Wondering what the phone call could have been about, Shego walked up to the phone and checked who was the last call from. Upon confirming that it was from Ron's parents, she tilted her head.
Yori had a similar thought and asked from behind. "Who was the caller, Shego-san?"
"His parents." Replying Shego moved to finish her food, deciding she would ask about it later.
"I should get changed as well." Yori stated, heading towards the stairs.
Around fifteen minutes later, Ron came downstairs, his previous odd mood nowhere to be seen. "Hey, am going to go out back and begin stretching."
"We'll go with you." Shego said for both her and Yori, looking to Yori for confirmation.
"Yes." Yori states joining them on their way out and looking at Shego. "What do you have in mind, Shego-san?" Yori whispers.
"Am thinking of cheering him up!" Shego whispers back, winking at Yori.
