Roles To Play

“Wally wants to show me what ‘really good TV’ is,” M’gann says. “But even if Hello, Megan! is his idea of really bad, that show meant a lot to me. It still does.”

Conner nods. “I’m getting that.”

“Are you sure you’re not mad at me? For not showing you what I...” She flicks her gaze downward. “Really look like?”

“If I was, I’m pretty much over it,” he promises. “You created the person that you wanted to be, just like I had to.”

“Thanks.” She reaches for his hand. “You’re the best, Conner.”

“Is that a line from the show?” Conner tries to joke.

“It’s still true,” she whispers.

Conner kisses her, lets her lean against his shoulder, and thinks about how eager she was to be a cheerleader, go to dances, and grumble about her history homework. He loves that M’gann takes so much joy in her life on Earth. He doesn’t mind that her joy has its origins in a TV fantasy of what she thought life on Earth should be like.

He almost doesn’t care that he’s somehow part of it.

This is quite a sweet drabble. I don't ship people most of the time, but Connor and Season 1 M'gann were pretty awesome. :)

There are quite a few issues with trust and secrets in their relationship, but I agree that they are very very cute.

This was my first YJ fic, so I'm really glad that you liked it. Thanks for reading!
