Ron squirmed as a gentle nuzzling woke him. “Mmmmm…?”
“Ron…you got to get up…you’re sleeping on my arm,” It was Josh, who whispered in his ear.
“Not sleeping on your arm…it’s sleeping under me…” Ron said it with a sleepy grin.
“Sweetie, seriously...I need my arm…” Josh nuzzled some more.
Ron obliged with a groan half rolling so that the other boy could free his arm.
“Thank-you sweetie.” Josh climbed out of the bed, and began a search for his pants. He knew they were there somewhere.
“Leaving already?” Ron stretched and rolled onto his side, “It’s only….wait what time is it?”
Josh looked up at the clock for a moment before returning to his search for his pants, “Almost eight. If I don’t find my pants I’m going to be late for work.”
Ron smiled softly, “On top of the computer, your shirt is at the foot of the bed.”
Josh slipped the clothing on as he found it, “How is it you can do that, but you can’t seem to keep track of your own stuff?”
Ron had a mysterious twinkle in his eye, “Because I have dumb skills. Though considering how you were biting the pillow last night I might just have mad skills.”
Josh shook his head, “You’re crazy you know that?”
“And that’s why you like me so much.”
Josh leaned over Ron, “No…not like, love.” And he kissed him gently before leaving, “I promise to call right after work, okay?”
“Bye sweetie.”
“Bye Mad Skills Boy.”
“Yes…my super power is making Josh bite pillows with amazing accuracy!”
Josh shook his head and left.
Ron lay on the bed for a while before getting up. Saving the world made finding a normal job hard, if not impossible. As a result his summer days weren’t as nearly as busy as Josh’s, except when a mission came up.
Which despite the occasional action, his summer had been a bust.
Except for the time with Josh. Those moments had been literally some of the happiest moments in his life. He had a few others, but his top ten list was easily filled with Josh.
The boy’s mind, his soul, his very nature had Ron begging for more. Not to mention the boy loved to take turns, which meant no one had to worry about getting tired of the same old thing.
Ron smiled a bit before crawling out of bed. He wasn’t in any particular hurry right then. Kim had Shego now, which meant that his presence wasn’t nearly as needed in her life. Once when it was him and Kim they had been each others entire lives, but with Kim and Shego together, things had changed.
He hadn’t minded the change; it gave him more time to do his own thing.
This unfortunately had turned into him and Josh, or him doing nothing.
Only half of that was really a problem for him. He enjoyed the time with Josh. But he didn’t enjoy the time spent staring at the ceiling.
Even Everlot didn’t seem appealing anymore.
Ron shuffled downstairs and regarded the thought of food. It just didn’t seem necessary.
Then again after his near complete unlocking of his abilities he had barely eaten, only slept after his more intimate time with Josh, and was rarely tired.
It was a blessing and a curse. It was good to know that he had his mastery of the art, but it drove him nuts to just sit around.
That meant a lot of meditating and meaningless cable.
Mostly meditating.
He sighed and settled down in his favorite spot on the couch and relaxed. He shut his eyes and connected to the universe.
Kim woke up without opening her eyes and stretched, wrapping her arms around the sleeping woman next to her. The woman grunted and squirmed a little, but settled back down with a sigh.
“Shego…I think we need to start getting up.”
“I no want to.”
Kim nuzzled the woman, “What if I told you that I would like it a lot if you got up?”
“Pumpkin, no….Want sleep.”
“Fine. We apparently can’t stay up late having sex ever again.”
Shego grumpily pouted as she started to get up, “Not fair…”
Kim sighed, “I know….but three in the afternoon is too late for us to keep sleeping too.”
“Is it three now?”
Kim looked at the clock, “Worse…seven thirty.”
Shego tried to look at the girl next to her, but it was difficult to do without opening her eyes. “Probably a good thing we decided to get a place…huh?”
Kim snickered, “Four hours is a little much…”
Shego stretched as she got out of the bed, “Only half is that my fault. You’re like a horny little bunny sometimes.”
Kim snickered as she made the bed, “Like you don’t enjoy it.”
“Not the point. I happen to enjoy it very much. But half that time was you.”
“Well we could have had our romantic evening sooner, but there was another incident. Tokyo this time. Someone keeps stealing monkey artifacts.”
Shego turned, “Mystical monkey artifacts?”
Kim shook her head, “Exactly my thought. Especially since Monkey Fist is in jail right now.”
“You sure he shouldn’t be in a zoo?”
Kim shrugged, “Personally I would have to agree with the idea…but he’d probably start a monkey revolution.”
Shego nodded and managed to open her eyes, “So what’s the plan?”
“Movie night?”
Shego grinned, “Action or slasher?”
“Uh…..I’d have to say action…something dark for a change.”
Shego blinked, “I’m a little surprised Kimmie…you watch something were the hero dies?”
“Hey, even I need a nice slap of cold water to remind me of what can happen if I’m not careful.”
“Now if I remember Pumpkin, sometimes the hero doesn’t make any wrong moves, they just get stuck in an impossible to escape situation.”
Kim nodded grimly, “I know.”
Author’s Notes: And thus the ball has begun rolling! Chapter length isn’t set, so don’t expect FTE’s eight pages, or even these four page bits. Every chapter is going to be as long as it needs to be for the part of the plot that it’s covering.
