Rating: K-T
Genre: Various
Summary: Unprompted sentences showing snapshots of Megamind and Roxanne's relationship, in no particular order. Miiiight be added to later.
Warnings: References to psychological trauma and suicide.
Reccommended listening: Saliva - Always
It has becomes almost routine for them now: they take it in turns to seduce each other over dinner, make love with an ever-increasing understanding of what is most pleasurable for them and, in the darkest hours of the night, she soothes him to sleep when he awakes, terrified, from another nightmare.
*
It's a tatty old thing that has no place in his residence at all - much less his bedroom - yet beyond the expected initial grumbling, he doesn't object to the 'dreamcatcher' that she hangs above his bed.
*
She knows it can't be healthy, hating someone during the day and acting like their girlfriend when the sun sets, but her pleasures at this point are so few and far between that she ignores her common sense and makes her way to City Hall.
When she finds himn staring at a room of hanging papers, she closes her eyes to his plans and guides him as far back to sanity as he can ever reach.
He trembles in her arms, face buried in the hollow where her neck flows into her shoulder, and for a few minutes she forgets to feel anything but pity for him.
Neither of them are unintelligent and recognition of what their nightly trysts are becoming strikes relatively quickly, but love is a word that should never be spoken in haste and never between enemies.
The closest he ever comes to hurting her is when his teeth nip at the tender skin of her throat.
Sometimes she finds marks of their nights together in places where only another lover would see them.
When it occurs to him that Steel could be far away from Metrocity, he toys with the idea of asking her to run away with him.
As they lay curled up together in a tangle of sheets and limbs, she traces one of his scars and swallows down her curiosity about what caused it; she's not sure she can bear to listen to the answer.
She had promised on the first night they spent together that nobody would hurt him; it was a promise she held as dear as any of the rules.
The thought of promising to kill him makes her blood run cold, but it's the look of relief that spreads across his face that makes her determined to protect him.
Agents shouting for them to come quietly, the cold kiss of a gun against a fragile temple - then oblivion.
