Chemicals React

Summary: Sometimes the darkest of monsters we face are the ones we create ourselves. And in this darkness we wonder, where did the light go? Am I blind or did it go out? Before we know it, we become this darkness. But the good thing about the darkness is that there is always room for light, for hope. In my darkness my light is you.

Author's note: I was drastically upset when Kimberly left MMPR. I have not watched an episode after Tommy got that god forsaken letter. In my universe the letter never happened. I haven't watched the series in a very long time, so forgive me if some things don't add up. I'll try to keep it as accurate as I can.

Author's note 2: A certain video on youtube inspired me to write this story. It made me really miss Tommy/Kim (the very first couple I fell in love with). I don't know if we are allowed to post links on here so I won't, but it was a very good one! Feedback is greatly appreciated. I am planning to do a fully developed story with a couple chapters, hope it works out. This is my first attempt at a fic so... (I hope it doesn't show lol)

Authors note 3: Thoughts are italized.

Timeline: This story takes place 2 months after "White Light", but for my AU they have the gadgets and dress like its 2010 lol (makes it all the more interesting, don't you think?). The rangers are all 17-18 years old.

Here goes..

"Tommy…."

Kimberly felt flames licking at her skin, inside her skin, and deep within her body. His mouth against her neck was sweet sweet torture, and she wanted so much more. Ever since he came back into her life, she vowed to herself to never let him slip away again. Nothing, not Zedd nor Rita nor any other force in this damn universe or the next would take him away from her again. He had been gone for too long. Needing to clear his head and deal with issues that came with loosing ones powers, fate had led him away from her, causing a brief pause in their blooming relationship. She felt so empty when he left. It was truly shocking to her how much she missed him, how important he had become to her in such a short period of time. They had only been dating a couple weeks before he went away, before he lost his powers. And yet, it felt like they had always known each other, like they've always been together. In those short weeks they barely spent any time away from each other. With Lord Zedd's attacks, school, gymnastics with him across the room teaching martial arts, and late night phone calls, the only time they spent apart was when they were sleeping. And even then….

"Hmmm Kim, I've waited so long to hold you like this, to touch you like this…"

Tommy retreat from her neck to fasten his mouth on hers. God she tasted so good. Every time he kissed her it felt like the first time; the rush through his body, his heart racing a mile a minute, the sweet sense of euphoria that washes over him. Her lips were heaven, and what she was doing with her tongue right now...

Oh have mercy…

He just hoped he could last long enough. He had wanted this moment with her for oh so long. The moment where he could mark her as his own yet again, the moment where he was standing between her parted legs, her skirt bunched high up to her waist, her hands roaming all over his body, and her making those sweet little noises only for him. Oh yes, this was the moment he had been waiting for. He didn't think he could make it through a whole day without his beautiful ever again. He had missed her to the point of insanity, but he couldn't come back. He couldn't face them without feeling powerless, without feeling like he had failed them, failed her. But all was right in the world now. He had gained new powers, he was back on the team, the woman he was madly in love with declared her love for him right after he was man enough to do so himself. They had taken the other step in their relationship on the night of their school's Winter Formal. It had been heaven, and every time after that never disappointed. And now here they were again, clinging desperately to each other as neither could get enough. Hell yes! All was right in the world.

Kimberly pulled away ever so slightly to stare into the eyes of the man she loved. What were they doing? They were both teenagers with so much more responsibilities than most adults, and here they were, in his mother's laundry room about to undress and finally share the intimacy they had both missed due their recently busy life (as if it wasn't already busy enough). Now she was really staring at him, she made a thorough once over to commit every detail of his face to memory: the furrow between his brow, the chiseled set of his jaw and God those luscious lips, which were now forming a slight smirk.

"Kim, you're making me blush…"

She was enchanted by him, "Its your own fault. Why do you have to be so damn sexy?"

He chuckled. "I bet you say that to all the boys."

She stared at his sexy mouth. "Just the ones I'm in love with." And with that, she pulled him down to her and they resumed their play.

Hands roamed, a pink blouse tossed here, and a white shirt tossed there, until…

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like its better than yours, damn right its better than yours…

Tommy let out a grunt in frustration and pulled away to rest his forehead against Kimberly's. "You know, I reaallllyyyy hate that ringtone."

"And that's the only reason I keep it," she said with a giggle.

That sweet little giggle of hers always made his cock jump. "Do you have to get that?" he whimpered, pressing his lips along her cheek. He was so at home right where he was, damn whoever was calling.

"Give me two secs to blow off who over it is k?"

"Fine…." Why did she have her phone in the laundry room anyway?

Kimberly jumped down from on top of the dryer where Tommy had her perched and rumbled through her pocket for her phone.

Great. Just what I needed. Kimberly wished she had left her phone in her purse.

"Hey mom"

"Kimberly, where are you?"

"I'm by the Olivers…" Kimberly tried to keep her voice at a neutral tone, as somebody was running their tongue from her shoulder up to her neck. "Is everything ok?"

"Umm…" Caroline knew how much her daughter adored Tommy, and she knew that Tommy felt the same for her. It was all over his face when he looked at her. Caroline sighed inwardly. She remembered the days when a man looked her like that, she remembered what it felt like to be loved. "I'm sorry darling, but do you think you could come home? I have something very important to talk to you about."

"Does it have to be now mom? " Tommy came around her from behind and looked at her with concern. She loved that about him. He was always concerned about her, always putting her first. "Everything's fine," she mouthed to him reassuringly. He smiled.

"I'm sorry hon, but yes. If its not too late, you can head back over there whenever we get done talking."

Knowing her mom, she knew she wouldn't be seeing Tommy until tomorrow. "Ok mom. I'm on my way."

"Thanks dear. See you soon."

"Lemme guess…" Tommy said while hugging her.

"I know. She said she needed to talk to me. I'm so sorry, I know how much you…."

"Hey, look at me," Tommy interrupted her and brought her head up so she could look at him. "I love you, and will wait forever for you if I have to. Don't apologize for it ok?"

"What did I do to deserve you?" she inquired with such love in her eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Tommy was amazed by the fact that someone so perfect could love him. His own parents gave him up at birth to grow up with a family they had no idea of whether they were capable of loving anyone. He lucked out on the couple who chose to adopt him, and he definitely lucked out on the girl who chose to love him. "I think I'm the one who should be asking that question," he said as he lowered his mouth to brush a short but sweet kiss over her lips. "Now run home before I change my mind and make you my prisoner for the rest of the weekend."

"I think I kinda want you to..." Kim trailed soft kisses on his neck. She heard a muffled roar inside him, and boy did it turn her on. She loved how she was the only one who made him lose his always present composure. Him being the leader and all, he was always so in control. Except when it came to her.

"You're playing with fire beautiful." He managed to get out.

"And that's a bad thing?"

"A very, very bad thing" he breathed…

"Well then," she kissed him once more on the neck, "since I'm being bad," she ground herself against him almost causing his knees to buckle, "I think you owe me a slight punishment," She stood on her toes and kissed his fore head, then stepped away from him, grabbed her shirt and was out the door, but not before turning around to blow him a kiss.

Tommy stood there staring at the spot at the door where she just disappeared, breathing hard with his body way too tight.

"I swear," He swallowed hard, "she's gonna kill me."

His mother would have to finish laundry when she came home from work.
