Summary
Drakken's mind wouldn't let him sleep, even though he told himself it was illogical to wait up when she clearly wasn't going to answer her phone. He'd gone from calling every few minutes in the PM hours to calling every thirty when he realized Shego was likely doing something stealthy or was too busy to answer. And if there was a terrible reason for it, being well-rested would mean he would be in better shape to help her out the next day.
He groaned and closed his cell phone when it went to her voicemail again, staring in anger at the device. If she was letting it ring out, then why wouldn't she—
The front door of their condo slammed open, and then closed again. He was out of the bed and running even before he heard her voice.
"Drakken!" she shouted frantically.

Summary
"But you're not okay..." he whispered. "You're not getting better. You can't even sleep..."
Fear of losing her suddenly assaulted him like an enveloping darkness. He sank down to sit on his heels next to the bed, closing his eyes against the dreadful sensation. Every moment of every day, she seemed to be slipping away from him. And he didn't know how to bring her back.
He carelessly brought her held hand to his lips and kissed her fingers as his mind continued to race. She was his entire world... He could have only her and nothing else, and he would still feel he had everything... And he was losing her.
"Do that again?"
He opened his eyes to the sound of her quiet voice and looked at her in question.
"Kiss me."
He brought her fingers to his lips and kissed them long and slow, feeling the strength in her bones while his eyes never left hers. A yearning and a desperation was building behind her dark gaze, and a moment later her hand was behind his neck, gently pulling him to her.
