Chapter 6 - Chapter five: afterthought

The three team headed to Bueno Nacho, with an added member. "Oh, hey Monique!" Kim said waving her hands motioning to come over here, Monique joined the table to eat with the gang.

"So you must be the newbie, hi, I'm Monique, Kim and Ron's best friend." She said, extending her hand in a greeting gesture.

"Oh! You're her? Kim's told me a lot about you." Lunna said, returning the shake, letting Monique sit close. The others catch up on each other's lives, as Lunna sits there quickly listening to each conversation. That wasn't good as it brought her back to the mission where she saved Shego.

"-girl you alright? you look blue all the sudden," Monique said, snapping the girl out of her trance, "huh? Ye-yeah I'm fine."

Monique and Kim looked at each other and Kim spoke up, "mission, she saved Shego, try to help her, but Shego being Shego was stubborn enough to just leave."

A sips from Kim later, she continues. "Oh and did I mention that Shego's gender was changed and this lil rookie couldn't stop drooling over her."

"No-"

"I WAS NOT DROOLING!" 

"Tea?" Monique questioned.

"Tea." Kim replied.

As Kim smiles retelling the story of their last mission. Lunna's try to interject and change the topic, but the redness in her face told a whole different story. Kim and Monique looked at each other smiling and back at Lunna.

"So, Shego huh, I mean I know the girl's got everything but I didn't know swaying was in Shego's dictionary." Monique said, taunting Lunna.

"It's not, Shego is just frustrating."

"Frustratingly hot?"

"Yes! N-NO! NO NOT THAT."

"Ah-huh, is that so? Then why are you so red?"

"Allergies!"

"Denial huh."

"Deee-nial" Kim interjected.

Ron was looking at how the conversation is going down, sipping his cop he looks down at Rufus, and smiles as this feels home all over again.

As the group headed their separate ways, Lunna in her apartment door, she open the door, feeling the tension of uneasiness. In her cautious posture, she slowly walks inside, the door closes, hearing the ruffle and rambling of somebody inside. Making her way closer to the sound, she entered in a fighting stance. Nobody was there.

But then a flash of green caught her attention, pinning Lunna to the wall, trying to scream, but her mouth was covered, looking down she sees a black and green pair of gloves, and as her eyes moved up, she saw a familiar face as those green eyes looked back at her.

"Quite, I don't want them to hear you."

Them? WHO'S THEM? Lunna mentally said.

As they looked at the window a rooming vehicle came in, flashing lights around the window like it's some helicopter. The moment Lunna can question she was pulled into her closet room.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT." Lunna said finally having time to speak, but in a quiet tone.

"I should ask the question myself, but I have no idea. Also, what are you doing here."

Lunna looked at Shego in very close range, but in a moment of frustration she said, "this is my house you nitwit, I live here."

"Oh well excuse me, kitten, didn't mean to intrude on your domain." Shego said with a taunting smile.

Lunna gave off a glare as she looked at the closet door. "Are they gone?"

Shego looked out as well, seeing if the close was clear, "seems like it."

As the two sighed, they looked at each other. Feeling so close from how tight the closet is, they try to wiggle their way out. As the door opens. Once again feeling the need to push out, that causes them to stumble and fall with Lunna yelp trying to grab Shego seeing if he can help but no, they both fell.

Shego was the first to got up slightly, but stop as he looked down at Lunna on the floor, Lunna looks back at Shego, red as a tomato from how stupidly close they are.

"You know, you really need to stop letting people fall for you like that." Shego said with a smirk.

"You think I needed this? It's hard enough to get you out of my-"

"Your… what?" Ebony eyebrows raised in suspicion.

"Nothing, forget I said anything," Lunna said, avoiding eye contact.

"No, not nothing." Shego said, leaning in closer. "Have I been on your mind lately?"

"And so if it was!" Lunna said furiously.

A soft smile crept onto Shego's lips before forcely removing it. "Th-then I say keep dreaming. It'll never happen." That last bit was bitter on his part.

"Good… I'm glad.. we agreed on.. something." Lunna said sounding slightly hollow.

Shego gaze back a Lunna's blushing face after getting up. "alright, I'll take my leave, who knows, I might stop by since I know where you live." Before leaving, he felt a small hand holding his. Looking down he sees Lunna still on the floor yet not letting go of Shego.

"Lunnie, please, let go. I have to get back to my place." Shego interjected but was interrupted.

"Stay"

"What?"

"Stay, or do you want the people or things chasing you until you can't run anymore."

"I don't run."

"Well it seems like it to me!" She said getting up off the floor still glaring at Shego's emerald eyes.

Shego looked outside and back at Lunna, trying to say something sarcastic or spiteful but was stopped by Lunna's chocolate eyes. "Fine, fine I'll stay. But just for today. But I'll be calling dibs on the bed."

"So I'll be on the couch then. That's understandable." Lunna said with a sigh, smiling thinking that she won.

"You can say that."

"Okay, well. Make yourself comfortable. I'll be in the living room if you need me." She said, heading to her closet door picking layers of blanket to keep her warm for tonight.

Lunna then looked at Shego and softly smiled as one of her clothes wouldn't fit him. "Hey, Shego, see if you could fit these when heading out to the shower."

Lunna continues, "I'll go first. In my room though, so get ready."

"Yeah yeah, whatever."

As Lunna grabbed all the essentials that she needed to head to the restroom she smiled to herself, stepping into the bathroom door and locking it. Reading herself as the water starts to run she gets in the shower washing up every tension she has dealing with everything. Soaping and scrubbing every inch of her body. Thinking that she could've stayed for longer. But reminded herself that she now has company.

Finishing up she turns off the shower, towel drying herself, and putting on her night clothes on, walking out she sees Shego in her bedroom waiting patiently. 

As Shego got up after Lunna was ready and out of the bathroom, he looked at how droopy her hair was and how it looks on her, he then looked at her face and a smile was there in her face, making Shego feeling uneasy about this.

"Alright, I guess it's my turn." He said as he grabbed the clothes he was given when he needed a refresher in the shower.

Minutes later, the moss-hued man walked out wearing Lunna's clothes. He spot Lunna in the bed getting everything ready for the male company. And looks back at who was walking out of the bathroom. "Wow" is all she can mutter.

Seeing Shego's shedded yet slender body hugging all of Shego's body as her clothes somehow fit. "Ah, yeah. Here, get comfortable if you like." She said try her best to look away.

"Sure why not." Shego said, sighing. He really wants to get back to his apartment.

"You, get back home by tomorrow morning. I promise." Lunna vowed.

"I know, just. This feels allot." Shego admitted. 

"I get it. Just don't think too much about it." Lunna reassures him.

The pale green man nodded in response as he laid down in Lunna's bed.

As she slowly walked out after seeing Shego getting comfortable. She walks to the living room, laying on the couch after laying the blanket down and grabbing a couch pillow for headrest. She slowly sleeps just to wait for tomorrow.

The night is still here as Shego looks around Lunna's room to get a better understanding of the girl. She seems to have a collection of action figures, comics, novels, anime movies, games, and others, like this plushie of a famous character that Shego has no idea of the appeal. He sighs, placing the toy on the desk, letting it lay there. He went back to bed and adjusted himself comfortably, trying to drift off to sleep. No matter how many times he fights the battle he can't sleep.

Groaning, he got up and walked to the living room, spotting Lunna already fast asleep.

"Just one night, just one.. night." He said, looking up at the ceiling and looking back at Lunna, easily scoping her up to his arms, she sighed, feeling Shego's warm body as she snuggled closer. Carefully laying her down, Shego looked at Lunna's peaceful sleepy face. Letting out another sigh, he placed Lunna in her bed along with him.

He leans in closer, looking at Lunna one last time before easily falling back to sleep.

Next morning came as Lunna slowly woke up feeling a warm pressure on her body. Thinking it was a blanket she thought nothing of it, but as she got up she heard a groaning noise coming in close. Slowly, she turn her head as a hint of red rise up on her face, seeing Shego sleeping like that made something inside her flutter but on the other hand, the only reaction she released was a soft shift until stumbling down, her arms caught in the crossfire of her dresser, she scratched herself on the edge, leaving a small cut on her visible arm while her head was knock on the floor allowing the hard thud sound to awaken someone.

"Wha- what happened. Are you okay?" Shego said in a worried yet dazed tone.

"Ow, yeah I'm fine." She said scratching the back of her head trying to ease the pain. That's gonna need a lot of aspirin.

Shego got up slowly. Walking up to Lunna and kneeling down trying to see where it hurts. "Where."

"What?"

"Where, where does it hurt?"

Shego looked at Lunna's head, rubbing it softly, looking down at Lunna's blushing face, seeing how cute this girl is and easy to fluster. He got up and looked around, "I'll go see if there's any ice, and first aid."

"Y-you don't have to- okay you're doing it." Lunna said as she was pulled in Shego arms and was laid down on the couch as Shego looks for any metrical aid in the kitchen.

Finding one he walks back, looking at Lunna's head, giving anti spray around the hurt area, wrapping it with bandages. When finishing that he looked down at the red liquid and looked at her cut arm. Fixing that as well he looked at Lunna's face, seeing how red it gotten, he got up and asked. "You want breakfast? I can cook up some eggs if you want."

"Yeah I would love that. But I would love some waffles for breakfast."

"Are you saying that because I offered to cook?"

"Are you?"

"Yes."

"Then yes."

A light chuckle escaped from Shego's mouth, as he went back to the kitchen, he cooked up a Bach of morning breakfast. As he announced that food was ready, Lunna walked up to the dining table and saw how delicious the meal looked. Thanking the green chef, she took a bite and smiled at how tasty it was.

Shego looking at the view, also enjoyed the food, maybe it was company, the warm feeling of someone enjoy breakfast. Or anything else. But he just continued to eat until they both had enough.

"So, you're heading back?"

"Hm?"

"To your place, are you heading back?"

"Oh, yeah. I am."

He said getting up and ready. Slowly taking off the shirt and handing it back to Lunna.

"Oh no k-keep it."

The pale green older man looked at the female in confusion, the brunette looking away and not at Shego's bare chest. "Ju-just get ready and keep the close will yah."

"I mean, if that's what you want, I mean I was gonna put on my jumpsuit and leave."

"I know, but think of it as a token of appreciation."

"Heh, is that what you see it?"

A nod is was Shego reserved. That let  the moss-green man's mouth to form a smile on his face.

"Alright, well I guess I'll be on my-" as the pale green man could finished the sentence a door opened, letting Kim, Ron, and Monique see the whole display in front of the.

"ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK!" the two said in unison.
