Y/n's Pov
I couldn't believe how fast this was all happening.  My life was changing so much in so little time.  I never even thought I would ever meet Megamind, but now I was working for him-with him-for him, oh I didn't know, it didn't matter.  All that mattered was helping a man who needed me, and if he happened to be a bald blue hottie with a body, who was I to complain, right?  Megamind stood up from the table and approached me.
"Well, y/n, it's getting a little late, do you think we should get to bed?"
Was he inviting me into his bed?
"Um, s-sure."
"Great, I'll show you to the spare room."
Oh.
That's fine.
Not like I wanted to sleep in his bed, and have to share the blanket, and only have one side of the bed.  Not like I even wanted to cuddle up next to his shiny blue forehead and feel his huge muscly arms around me as I slept.  Yeah... Not at all.  I shook my head, trying to get rid of the image.
"Lead the way," I said with a fake smile.
And away we went, through the lair down a dimly lit hallway, lined with framed photos of all the people I had idolized...and despised, Megamind and Minion, Roxanne, Metroman, even Titan.  I looked away, and Megamind also seemed to be avoiding looking at the old pictures.  I felt so bad, I just wished there was something I could do. 
We reached the end of the hallway. There were two doors on opposite sides of the hall.  Megamind opened the door to the right and flipped a light switch.  The room was illuminated by a faint yellow light.  I could see a bed covered by an old quilt and a bedside table with a lamp on it. 
Megamind turned away.  I reached to put my hand on his shoulder, but pulled away.
"What's wrong, Megamind?"
"I'm sorry, it's just this was Minion's room, this is the first time I've opened the door since his ship went down, it's just a lot.  I'm sorry you had to see this."
"Don't be.  I understand."
Megamind looked up at me with sadness in his eyes.  In a moment of stupidity, I reached for his hand, but he pulled away.  I started damage control right away.
"I-I'm sorry. I just-I don't know what I was doing. I'm... uh-goodnight."
I rushed into the room and slammed the door behind me.  
Ugh what am I doing, I thought, I can't be around him, he's such a beefcake, and I'm such a geek.  I sat down on the bed and put my head in my hands. 
"I just don't know if this is gonna work out," I said aloud. 
I laid down on the bed, still in my work clothes, but too tired to think about it any longer.  I'd figure this out in the morning.  Until then, I needed a good night's sleep.  I snuggled my head into the pillow and didn't even bother to cover up or turn off the light.  I just needed to rest.  As I sunk into the bed, the image of Megamind's sad eyes was burned into my brain, and I thought of him, as I drifted off to sleep.
