All the giggling had Megamind rather worried, swallowing his voice dropped lower, “Your… have you… been drinking, Miss Ritchi?”
He didn’t let go of her hand, but it was the only thing he could think of. It was far more common to see her snarking at him and alternating between coyly complimenting his genius and verbally assaulting him for his ‘idiot schemes’ then it was to see this softer side. It made him wonder which was the real her. Though the answer was likely all of them together… and maybe more he hadn’t even seen yet. He swallowed again, he did want to know her more… but… if she was drunk, what happened if she regretted him in the morning. Letting him see her like this. His being in her apartment.
His hesitation warred through him as he stood frozen in place.
“Why, of course I haven’t been drinking well I have but not enough to get myself drunk” Roxanne denied with a very soft and sweet smile and before she could do anything about it she could feel her cheeks flush at the very idea of her being drunk with her kidnapper inside her apartment with her. She no longer cared about the crimson blush in her cheeks that he would most likely be able to see very well.
“Wow..okay did it suddenly just get really hot out here or was that just me? Why don’t we head inside?” she released a nervous laugh and she quickly released his hand and walked back inside her apartment mentally wanting to slap her own forehead.
With all the strange changes happening around the city recently, Megamind could only wonder is this was one of them. Roxanne being so much more relaxed. But then he wasn’t actually kidnapping her right now, that was bound to help improve someone’s mood, drinking or not.
“Oh… sure, yes, right,” following after her, the villain slid the patio door shut after them, leaning on the glass. He suddenly felt almost as if he was the one getting kidnapped this time. Mentally he kicked himself. It was just a house and it was hardly like she could make him do anything he didn’t want to… he swallowed. He was far too weak to those blue eyes.
Frozen on her balcony, Megamind sputtered, they’d had cocoa and tea together before but only in his lair. Usually, after a plot went wrong and the game got cancelled for the day. Or the time she was sick and Minion made a care package. Or the one birthday kidnapping, but he was still swearing up and down that it hadn’t been planned for the sole purpose to give her a gift and cake. It had been a true kidnapping. Definitely.
He let out a nervous laugh, “Are you sure I didn’t hit you with the knockout spray too hard last time?” he wanted to take up her offer, his feet already moving him toward the door, “It would be… horribly against kidnapper/kidnappee decorum, Miss Ritchi,” …it would also be lovely…
At the mention of the knockout spray, Roxanne slightly grimaced but then gave out a small giggle he sure knew the best way to make her smile and laugh that was for one thing very certain. She couldn’t even remember the last time she ever had a joyful type of laugh or even a little giggle before she met Megamind that very first time he kidnapped her and took her to his lair for another one of his evil schemes that never seemed to work out the way planned inside she always felt that she’s so happy and glad that that first kidnapping had happened.
“Oh, Megamind! No you didn’t hit me hard with the knockout spray last time” She said with a series of little giggles floating out passed her already parted lips. Before she could even think about what she was doing, she took his gloved hand in her own and she gave it a very small squeeze of kindness and trust. “We’ve done it before, but of course that was at your lair. It’s not like anyone would know. We can just keep this between us” she continued, giving him a reassuring smile.
All the giggling had Megamind rather worried, swallowing his voice dropped lower, “Your… have you… been drinking, Miss Ritchi?”

His hesitation warred through him as he stood frozen in place.
Megamind bit his lip at the sight of her nightgown, oops… was it really that late?
Trying to brush off his mistake, he chuckled, “I’m a super villain, Miss Ritchi, your comfort and schedule are hardly my concerns.”
Honestly, he wasn’t even sure why he was here. His excuse was mostly that he was in the area and gearing up for a new fight with Metro Man soon… but he really had no good reason to be on her balcony.
Roxanne took a small breath before she looked back up at him before she could stop it she could feel her lips twitch upwards into a grin while at the same time she swept a small strand of her hair behind her ear it must have come down upon her eyes when she was dancing around the room. She found herself hesitating but it only lasted for a short moment.
“Well then, being as you are already here would you Mr.Super Villain like to stay for a while? I can make us a warm cup of coffee or tea if you’re interested?” she asked with a much brighter tone of voice than before.
She didn’t exactly know why she was suggesting this being he is the super villain of the city and most likely under the impression that her and his nemesis Metro Man are a couple which they are so not and would never be.

Having just dropped down to the balcony, Megamind froze. He knew Roxanne could sing, but hadn’t ever really heard her before. Not like this. Pulling his cape around him, the villain crept closer to the wall until he was leaning on the frame of the patio door, just listening.
‘Love’… he wondered who she was singing about, or maybe she just loved that movie. He had to admit Hercules was a very well build cartoon character, but then again Syx did seem to have a type when it came to men… But he couldn’t resist pretending, just for a moment as he listened.
God, he was being a creep. This was borderline stalker behavior and Miss Ritchi would definitely throw things at him for that. Sucking in a deep breath, Syx put on his game face and shook himself into character.
“Why Miss Ritchi!” Megamind spun out into view with a flutter of cap and a wide grin as he clapped his hands together, “I must say your performance is quite splendid, bravo.”
His voice impossible to miss in the wake of the song she was singing quite happily, made Roxanne drop the beautiful red rose and about-face so quickly that she nearly lost her balance, Her blue eyes went wide at the sight of him and she froze with the corner of her blue night gown and her robe caught around one of her legs.
She didn’t really expect him to come for her tonight realising she was twisted the edges of her robe nervously she stopped then she straightened her spine, put her hands upon her hips and looked at the handsome blue man before her.
A single brow arched up faintly before she offered him a weak laugh, an uncertain but still lightly thankful smile coming upon her lips. “Uh, I didn’t realise you were even here. But I must thank you for the compliments Megamind..What are you doing here anyway at this time of the night?”
Megamind bit his lip at the sight of her nightgown, oops… was it really that late?

Honestly, he wasn’t even sure why he was here. His excuse was mostly that he was in the area and gearing up for a new fight with Metro Man soon… but he really had no good reason to be on her balcony.
A laugh escaped past her lips as she danced gracefully around her apartment room a mixture between a sigh and a gentle laugh left her lips as she picked up a rose from the vase on top of the table which is not to far from her red sofa and just held it gently in between three of her fingers while at the same time moving towards the balcony unaware that a certain ‘master of all villainy’ was standing right outside at that very same moment the very same master of all villainy that she was singing and thinking about. “No chance, no way I won’t say it no, no. I won’t say I’m in love! You’re way off base I won’t say it! Get off my case I won’t say it.. At least out loud I won’t say.. I’m in love”
