The tone and body language were spot on for Warden, if it wasn’t for the gender everything would be right. His cell was definitely his, even with that stupid mural his last therapist had painted on it to supposedly cheer up the moody and troubled teen he’d been at the time.
Megamind scowled, Warden had a way of always making him feel like a naughty child again. He was just glad Warden was at least speaking to him. It was worse when their fights got so bad that Warden wouldn’t even look in on him. He hated the cell that separated them, that was the only way he could see Warden without risking their relationship becoming public. They’d never send him to a prison run by his own family.
Only… was this Warden… his Warden? It couldn’t be. A Warden, though after all, he wasn’t the only Megamind around anymore. Harrison had confused him for a different Megamind when he’d met the man. In the end, it didn’t really matter he supposed. The conversation was still horribly familiar as was the person before him.
“Warden Woodridge?”
Syx huffed out a breath and fidgeted in his chair, his act slipping as he rolled his eyes, “I might always come back but you’ll never keep me here long.”
Oh, if only I could – if only to shelter you from the outside world, she mused while keeping a hard glare and their usual appearances up. A few officers that had grown up with the little one from the day he had crash landed were retired or close to, and those that were still around had not been as involved with his development as the others.
If it were up to her, the entire world would have known of their relationship – but there had been many complications that kept them apart now. Her own stubborn nature? Having her own charge reject her as the parental figure despite talking to him in the past?
…He chose this life. All I can do now is keep protecting him – and keep waiting for him to change his mind and return to the sweet little boy he used to be.
“..You still never learn, do you?” she countered, back still stiff to appear as authoritative as possible. “You can go back out there all you like, try some new scheme to win over Metro Man, but in the end you will come back here.” I always make sure of it. “Why don’t you just stop trying?”
Her wording made Syx choke, “Win over Metro Man…” he assumed she meant beat him in battle, but considering he was now secretly dating the hero, his face broke into a bright rosy blush as he shifted in his spinning custom chair.
He struggled to try and reclaim his Megamind persona, “It’s my destiny to oppose the muscle-bound he-ro,” he waved dismissively, “Trial and error is all part of the scientific process Warden, and when the titan falls the world will shake,” he proclaimed, horribly mixing metaphors.
Syx scowled, “Wasn’t like I was even fighting him this time,” and he was going to miss their date.
