Songs of Him

Why

Ron slept with his head on her bed. He hadn't left. Kim woke up with pain ripping through her shoulder. She grunted silently, not wanting to wake up Ron. She looked at her shoulder, which had been pierced not twenty-four hours earlier by a bullet. 'Stupid Drakken finally does something the easy way, and this is what happens,' she thought sourly.

She clearly remembered just before she had lost consciousness, Drakken and Shego had bolted the second after. They had been aiming at Ron. Just before her world faded to black, she remembered Ron asking why she had jumped in the way. he had asked her why she had risked her own life for his.

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love i found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through it all

The fact that he sat her beside her, even if he was drooling onto her bed sheets, made her feel good. Most people, when they learned what she did, and whom she did it with, asked her why. "Why Him?" mostly. And it was true, she probably could have found someone smarter, or stronger, or faster, or whatever… but they wouldn't have been Ron. Ron had been there for her all her life. In Pre-K, if you can believe it, Ron had been the one to protect Kim from bullies. She remembered one time when she had gotten a chemical splashed in her eyes on a mission, Ron had stayed by her side the whole time. He guided her with his words. Told her where everything was. He never tried to keep her down, but he made her feel like she was still seeing.

She remembered their early "missions" when they were six and seven to get cookies. It was stupid really. He would crouch down and she would climb up on his back and she could reach the cookie jar.

She remembered him convincing her to do the talent show, telling her how wonderful her voice was.

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Maybe some would describe it as codependence, but Kim needed Ron. When Ron was next to her, backing her up, Kim was never afraid. He was the one person who told her that she could do anything she wanted in life. When he was around anything was possible… some days, she could even fly if he was beside her.

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

She remembered times when kept her for doing things that they both knew she would regret, such as fighting Bonnie, going too far with Josh. Those were her dark times, but he shone like a beacon helping her find right and wrong again. He called her on her lies, and kept her honest. He was the best friend anyone can have… he chose to be hers.

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

Ron gave her everything on practically a daily basis. And he asked her why she would risk her life for him. Leaned down and kissed him on the forehead. The answer to her was simple. Without Ron, there was practically no Kim.

Dedicated to friends who stand beside each other, no matter the odds, no matter the consequences.
