Kim crawled out of bed and pulled on her pajama pants and top. She glanced over at her sleeping boyfriend and sighed. They'd been dating for three years now, but something just kept nagging at the back of her mind, telling her that Ron just wasn't the one.
It was nights like these that she would slip onto her computer and go to her website, answering questions and possibly even chatting with a person or two. She just wanted to clear her mind.
It was 3 am and there were four people online. She'd labeled two of them as obsessed fans and knew to show herself as offline whenever they were on, and the other two she hadn't ever talked to.
She shrugged and went to the forums. She only ever answered simple questions and ones that weren't of perverse nature. She often had Wade scan through the forums and delete inappropriate things. She didn't need people asking what her sizes were, or asking if she liked bondage or sex toys. That was creepy.
After a few minutes of answering questions she looked back at how many people were online. She was happy to see that three of the people online had logged off, and that in those three were her two obsessed fans.
As soon as she marked herself as online she got a message.
SG: So, what's the great Kim Possible doing up at 3 am in the morning?
KimPossible: … I could be asking you the same thing.
SG: Oh yes, of course. Well, it happens to only be 1 am here.
KimPossible: Couldn't sleep.
SG: That makes two of us.
Kim sighed as she read this. She didn't know why she decided to actually respond to this person, but she wanted to talk to someone.
KimPossible: Why can't you sleep?
SG: Cramps.
The red-head had to suppress her laughter to keep Ron from waking up.
KimPossible: You're straight-forward and to the point now aren't you?
SG: Well, I could leave it at that… or tell you the whole truth.
That had Kim surprised. The whole truth could be the details of a period… but that didn't seem to be the case.
KimPossible: … Well… I guess I wouldn't mind the truth.
SG: I do have cramps… but it hasn't actually started yet. I'm just not as exhausted as my girlfriend who is sleeping away. I think she was a little bit too tipsy.
KimPossible: You're a lesbian?
SG: Probably not. I sleep with guys, I sleep with girls. Currently I just happen to be with a girl.
KimPossible: Oh.
SG: So, why are you up?
The hero scratched her cheek. She wasn't sure if she really wanted to say anything, but she did want to get it off her chest.
KimPossible: I'm confused and unsure about some things.
SG: Relationship problems?
KimPossible: To put it simply… yes.
SG: You want to talk about it?
KimPossible: It… couldn't hurt.
SG: I'm all ears.
KimPossible: I just don't know if he's the one. I often find myself questioning it.
SG: Why not take a break?
KimPossible: What do you mean?
SG: Just ask for a break in the relationship. Say you're not breaking it off, and you're not planning to date anyone, you just need a breather. Use school as an excuse or something. That used to work for me all the time.
KimPossible: You had the same problem?
SG: Of course not. I mean, I used it as an excuse, but that was to get out of family functions. If I wanted a break I'd say it bluntly. Beating around the bush needed too much effort, so I found it easier to just say I wanted a break, or to break up. I always did the breaking up, and most people came crawling back. I still don't get why either. I'm not exactly the best person to date.
KimPossible: So you've always been popular?
There was a long pause of silence and Kim was worried. Did the person she was talking to just up and leave the conversation?
KimPossible: Hello?
SG: Oh… sorry… I sort of started to think back and I forgot I was talking with you.
KimPossible: O-Oh.
SG: In high school I was never popular. In fact, I was one of the people who were picked on the most.
KimPossible: Why?
SG: Let's call it… special circumstances. Three of my brothers got off easy, but me and my other brother were pretty low on the food chain, and we were often picked on. I was a good kid then and just took the scorn, but it only got worse.
KimPossible: What happened?
SG: Let's just say… I eventually snapped and scared everyone shitless. So they backed off the two of us, but the brother I was helping protect got scared of me too. From then on I was somewhat estranged from my brothers. My father already was upset with me because I was interested in women, so that only made him like me less.
KimPossible: And your mom?
SG: Oh her? She loves me the same. That hasn't changed. But damn can that woman get on my nerves! Anyways, back to what I was saying before. Back then nobody wanted to be with me, but as soon as I became more assertive and such, for some reason people practically begged to date me. Maybe it was also because I started filling out around that time, but I think you get it.
KimPossible: So you've always been the one to dump?
SG: Yeah. I don't typically let any relationship go on for too long. I worry that something is going to get in the way.
KimPossible: And what about your girlfriend?
SG: I don't know. We've only been dating a month. She seems like the nicest girl I've met so far, but the nice ones are typically crazy. Believe me, I've dated one of those before. Scary as hell.
Kim was about to reply when a voice called from the bed, "KP? What's up?"
"Oh, sorry Ron, I couldn't sleep so I decided to check the site," she smiled sweetly.
He grinned and said, "Come on back to bed. I'll help you sleep."
The redhead quickly replied.
KimPossible: Sorry, I have to go. My boyfriend woke up.
SG: Night Kimmie.
KimPossible: Goodnight… umm…
SG: Selene.
KimPossible: Gnight Selene.
She hurriedly logged off and turned off her computer, shedding her clothes and crawling back in bed. It was obvious what Ron had planned, as he was already pulling out a rubber.
As the two physically connected in bed, like many nights before this one, she faked pleasure as her boyfriend slumped on top of her, breathing heavily.
She gingerly rolled him off of her and looked up at the ceiling, sighing.
