She'd always been there, whether it was when he ripped his pants at the school assembly or when his grandmother passed, Kim never let him go it alone. Not that he hadn't done the same after becoming practically inseparable after they met in preschool. Somehow it hadn't crossed his mind the possibility there could be more, even on New Year's Eve the boy hadn't thought any harm could come from a simple kiss but it hadn't left his mind since. Maybe it was under the surface all along, only needing a catalyst to awaken what might've been locked away. Sure, he hadn't felt outright jealousy for her boyfriends but never felt as though they were good enough for his Kimmy. Now he was laying awake at night to escape a dream where he was inches from another kiss with his lifelong friend, unsure how to run from his own imagination. Ron knew she hadn't felt it, looking at him as nothing more than her sidekick, but he couldn't shake the feeling.

Their living arrangement had turned a tad awkward as they both subtly avoided the other in the passing days. Ron was staring down at the refrigerator in his usual nightly routine, going to close the door and switch to the cabinet before nearly colliding with his roommate. Their glances were as quickly distinguished as they were established. "I was hoping inspiration would strike but I'm coming up empty," he said with a small shrug as he wandered over to the cabinet to loiter. "Are you uh, craving anything? I think there's a pizza in the freezer or I can probably whip up some nacos." At least if food was in his mouth he couldn't say anything stupid.

Ron and Kim had always been best friends, nothing changed that and Kim was certain that nothing would be able to change that. Their friendship had gone through a lot over their lifetime. She'd been there for him for every situation he was in, no matter how ridiculous it was and he did the same for her regardless of how dangerous it was. She felt like she could talk to him about everything, it hadn't ever really been a problem before. So why couldn't she bring up the fact that they'd kissed at New Year's Eve like any other conversation? Was there anything to discuss, Kim questioned that herself and it brought her down a spiral of other questions when all the answers kind of just led back to the facts that their friendship wasn't something she wanted to change.

Maybe it was as simple of a topic as their small and brief kiss was, barely anything to bring attention to when that wasn't necessary. Still, it passed through her mind on occasion and the only excuse she had for why was the fact that it wasn't something she expected to happen in the first place. It occupied her mind that much that she hadn't been too attentive in the apartment she was still getting used to sharing with the boy in question. Her reflexes were fast enough to avoid a collision in the kitchen thankfully but it didn't save them from the awkward eye contact before the apologies from both sides came rushing in. Kim buried her head in her phone to steer clear of another weird moment. "Are you gonna make dinner or do you wanna get take out maybe?"

Food filled a lot of voids in his life which included questions he didn't have the answers to. Kim had always been the one with a plan and he followed behind, it had been that way since preschool when they first met. She was the one who knew the trajectory of her life, who she wanted to be, what all she wanted to achieve, while the blonde boy simply went along the path she made. Now that they'd grown up he hadn't given it much thought since he knew no matter how hard he worked he'd never be able to do what Kim did. That's why she was Kim Possible after all and he was none other than Ron Stoppable, their futures written in the letters of their names. "I don't know Kim..." He didn't want to get into it while a perfectly good pile of nachos was going cold but he feared she wouldn't let him free of this interrogation. "I can't be some badass private investigator like you. You've always been the brains of the operation, and I don't know, what do I do?" He exhaled heavily, using the moment to take another chip from the stack and throw it into his mouth. "Do you think I could do that? Like be a detective and help people, like you."

Even though they'd been separated for a couple of years, Kim still knew her best friend like the back of her hand. She was acutely aware of the way he liked to hide his disappointment with a joke, even the way he laughed gave it away. "Ron," she reached for his hand before he could distract himself with another chip. "Stay for as long as you need, trust me it's no biggie." She could only hope the smile on her face was convincing enough but she figured some clarification into her inquiry wouldn't hurt. "I wanna know what the game plan is here now that you're back. You know, like, are you gonna get any side gigs or do you maybe wanna take a couple of classes?" She grabbed for her share of the nachos, letting him ruminate on her suggestions. "I love you but if I have to drag you off the couch to make sure you're keeping yourself busy, I definitely will and you know it."

The moment had finally come: a pile of nachos sat before him after all these months apart, along with his best friend who he'd missed even more. He gave a content hum as the scent of warm cheese and a hint of jalapeno hit his nostrils while he thought about how good it felt to be home. Ron had been so invested in his half of the food that he hadn't been adding much conversationally. A breath was taken from his devouring to reply, having enjoyed just listening to her talk after not hearing her voice for so long. Not that it wasn't nice being at his parents' house but being away from the Isle was about more than missing his bed. "Hey, there's a lot more going on in a locker. Books, lunch, my homeroom snack, Rufus' lounge, you know, the necessities." It had been much easier to maintain a clean room compared to the metal confines of the locker in question; that and the fact that growing up had done wonders for his cleanliness. Before he was able to go deeper into his explanation her big question hit like a brick, realizing while he was happy to be back Ron might've been overstaying his welcome. "Oh, right, for sure for sure." The blonde nodded even though he'd only glanced at the website. "I'll be out before Christmas so my present can be no more of my presence," he laughed trying to act as though he hadn't taken it to heart. "Then i don't need to buy you anything either since I've been unemployed." Not only was she his best friend but his boss which meant he hadn't been getting a paycheck recently, Ron had been doing what he could with his savings that was about run dry.

"I didn't think it was possible but you're turning out to be a decent roommate." Kim took a chip off of their shared plate of nachos before realizing she might have to clarify before Ron got too offended. "Like on the whole cleanliness front, you've been neater than I expected. Y'know, considering your locker in school wasn't always in the greatest condition." She took a bite of the high in sodium and highly processed food she'd began to miss without her friend on the island. "Have you, maybe, looked into getting your own place, though?" She did her best to toss out that question as casually as she could, even checking her phone notifications to show a semblance to show she didn't really care. And it's not that she even really did care for his answer, she just wanted a way in to Ron's mind and his plans now that he was back on the island. But if she knew anything about her best friend it's that he could get comfortable, possibly too comfortable and she just wanted to keep him on track for his future, as she often had to do.

He was a professional at being a nobody. From the very beginning he was deemed a loser by society, not that he minded all that much. There was always at least one person who liked him and she was the only one who actually mattered: Kim Possible. Preschool had been boring until the infamous naptime when they met and the rest was history. After that, they did everything together, wherever Kim went it was sure that Ron wasn't far behind. Regardless of what other kids at school had to say he never let it get to him, being more concerned about what his best friend thought than anyone else. Middle school was where he would say his life got interesting and it was all because of the redhead. While she'd always been a badass, he didn't have the same skill set but used whatever he had to assist her.

That was the thing about Ron Stoppable, he would give everything to the people he cared about even if it wasn't all that much. He fumbled and bumbled around most of their missions but it always ended up working out. Somehow she even gave him a job working with her as a private detective, which worked out for him since his resume wasn't exactly stacked with experience. As it turns out, Ron was quite good at his job, talking to customers, problem-solving when something went wrong, and doing his best to make sure Kim gets to focus on what matters. He holds down the fort as best he can which includes making sure his best friend is safe too or at least that was the plan until the borders closed. It was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. While off the Isle visiting his parent's new place on Echo Ron ended up getting trapped with no way to get back to Kim or the job he left with her. As much as he tried to stay in contact it was difficult, everything about their situation keeping them apart but now that they're open he's going to make sure it doesn't happen again. He doesn't know how exactly but that's never stopped him before.

His best friend (besides Kim) is his hairless mole rat Rufus. They go everywhere together, whether pets are allowed or not. His best Pal can almost always be found in one of his pockets, and he has been known to help out on a mission or two.

While most of the time Ron is a natural with animals there is one in particular that he's never gotten along with: birds. He's never understood why they hated him and never took to any of his usual tricks. Of course, what Ron doesn't realize is that it's actually his molerat that they are after.

He's had a crush on Kim for as long as he can remember but has never acted on it. Regardless of what he wanted, Ron couldn't imagine a girl like her ever going for a guy like him. That's why he'll happily be her best friend until the end of time.

Ron wants to be something bigger, to be a real hero. Maybe it's stupid but it's all he's ever wanted was to do something meaningful with his life. He knows he isn't the smartest but hopes he finds a way to do that somehow.

There is one thing he's wildly intelligent when it comes to and that is marijuana. Not only does he partake but he understands the science behind cannabinoids, different strains, and has even been known to grow his own greens before.
