Disclaimer: They are not mine! I promise! I am just borrowing them and I promise to put them back where I found them once I am done playing! No suing the completely broke author!

A/N: So I had posted this over four years ago and lost the original manuscripts for all of my stories. I decided randomly to look up my old account and found this story and realized how much I missed writing this. I HIGHLY encourage you to re-read chapters 1 and 2 if you've read this story before, I cut out all but the first verse of the song, but re-wrote a lot of the conversation and streamlined it so it's not so choppy. I'm looking for a beta so if anyone is interested sweet beans!

I am also posting the third chapter tonight which I think I promised like three times spanning 2 ½ years. I apologize for my horrid and disgusting lack of updatage.

Enjoy!

Feeling Way Too Damn Good

By Makia Durron

Cam pulled up to the end of the trail hidden deep in the mountains of California. Making sure he had everything he needed for his stay he got out of his car grabbing his backpack out of the back seat and locked his doors, turning to the barely visible entrance to the continuation of the trail. Setting out in a brisk pace he felt his worries and stress slowly ease away as he took in his peaceful surroundings. Coming into a clearing some time later he was not surprised to see someone waiting for him, but he was surprised to see who the welcoming party was.

Hunter was leaning against a tree next to the requisite waterfall, decked in semi-loose jeans and a tight Crimson shirt. Giving Cam a smile he jogged over to meet him and pulled him into a bear hug, one which the usually reserved Cam happily returned."Cam! Dude it is sooo good to see you! I've missed you man! How's life been treating you?"

Cam rolled his eyes, "You're the head teacher and you still talk like that? Will you ever grow up?" He asked as he took a step back and supplied his trademark smirk.

Hunter laughed a deep rich laugh, "Ah, there is the Cam I know and love. Besides, you like how I talk! Everyone does, it just adds to my charm."

Cam snickered, he couldn't help it; he had forgotten how egotistical Hunter could be, and how cute he looked when he was. "You just keep telling yourself that, Maybe one day someone will actually believe you." Laughing together they entered the portal entrance to the Academy.

Stopping just inside the academy entrance, Hunter paused to let Cam soak in the beauty of it. From where they stood they had a complete view of the academy grounds. The school, much like the one at the Wind Academy, was Black and towered over the training fields where many students in Crimson and Navy practiced their powers. "It's beautiful, Hunter." Noticing the clouds his face broke out into a smirk. "Is the weather always like this though?"

Rolling his eyes Hunter couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah well, what can I say? It must be because I am the Head Teacher." Cracking up the two former rangers made their way to the School.

"So what exactly did you need the scroll of dragons for?"

Hunter smirked, "I think Sensei Omino just got bored and decided that he needed something interesting to read."

Cam grinned, "Or is that you who is bored and needs something to read?"

Hunter stared at him in horror. "Me? READ? Shh, don't tell the students! I have a reputation to keep up!"

Rolling his eyes Cam followed Hunter into the Thunder's version of opts. It wasn't nearly as sophisticated as the Wind Academy's, but then again; they didn't have Cam there to make sense out of a super computer. Greeting Sensei Omino, Cam gave him the scroll of Dragons, and received the scroll on some ancient legend or another that his father had been wanting.

Hunter watched Cam the entire time; he looked really, really good in black jeans and black wife-beater with a green over-shirt unbuttoned on top. Watching his facial expressions, Hunter was amused to see the many different looks that Cam got just because of those twitchy eyebrows of his. Snickering to himself at the thought, he glanced at his watch, it was almost six. Hopefully he could get Cam to stay the night. He had been thinking of Cam a lot lately and decided that it was time to tell him the truth of his feelings.

Seeing that Cam was beginning to get uneasy, he spoke up, "Sensei, is it alright for Cam to stay at the Academy tonight? We haven't really had the chance to talk, besides, it's late and it is a long way back to Blue Bay."

Sensei Omino looked to him almost knowingly, which made Hunter very uneasy. "Of course, I will arrange for one of the guest rooms to be prepared for him."

Cam grinned wryly, "That's not necessary, I really need to get back to Blue Bay, the drive isn't that bad."

Hunter rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath that Cam couldn't quite make out. "Don't make me beg, Cam." Said Hunter, "I will, you know."

Cam raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "You don't want me to talk about you reading but you are willing to get down on your knees and beg me to stay?"

Hunter gave cam one of his trademark smirk/grins and replied haughtily, "I said I would beg, I said nothing about doing it on my knees!"

Smirking, Cam finally agreed. Saying goodbye to Sensei Omino, Hunter and Cam left opts to go to get some food.

"Hey Cam, do you wanna get out of here and go into town to get something? That was we could get some privacy to talk, besides I know this great Thai place that you will love."

Nodding at Hunter, Cam agreed. Making their way back to the portal they walked a slow leisurely walk back to Cam's car. Looking at the car Hunter started to grin. "What?" asked Cam, confused at his unexplained smile.

"You accused us of being color crazy." He replied with a raised eyebrow to the electric green Vibe. Treating Hunter to one of his cheeky grins, he unlocked the car and climbed into the driver's seat.

"Where to, Sensei?"

Rolling his eyes, Hunter responded. "Well first lets get out of the woods.

"Aye-aye Captain." He replied sarcastically.

Hunter lifted an eyebrow and fought a smirk. "You've been watching Star Trek reruns again, haven't you?"

Cam gave Hunter a disgusted look.

"Eww, Star Trek is sooo fake. I am not a Trekkie! I like Star Wars, thank you very much."

Hunter grinned, "And that is so much more realistic." Nodding gravely, Cam started down the old logging trail into town.

They drove the short length into the nearest town, its attractions and hang outs very similar to Blue Bay Harbor though with more emphasis on biking then surfing. They spent the drive either in amicable silence or in playfully heated debates over a variety of topics through out the evening. Cam did indeed enjoy the Thai food and on the way back they decided to stop at the local baskin robin's for a treat.

CPOV

'He is so cute!' I Thought to myself again as I watched Hunter attack his ice cream. After the Thai and walking along the beach the treat seemed well deserved as we continued talking about the rest of the gang and their new responsibilities. I confessed that I had not had this much fun in a while and admitted, to myself, that at times it almost felt like a date. I tried not to choke as I berate myself again for the stray thought. 'He is not gay! He couldn't be gay, there are way too many hot girls throwing themselves at his feet for him to be gay, and even if he was he wouldn't like me.' Trying to distract myself I took another bite of my ice cream and tried not to whine as I got tooth freeze. In my attempt to sooth the sharp pain I completely missed Hunter calling me until he snapped his fingers in front of my face.

"Dude! Are you in there?" He asked.

I snapped back into focus, my head coming up as I locked gazes with Hunter, the confusion, embarrassment, and fear of discovery written all over my face.

HPOV

This ice cream rocked. So did the company. 'God, I can't believe how hot he is, I've missed him so much and now that he is here. I have to tell him tonight. Glancing over at Cam I noticed that he had ice cream on his cheek and that he was drifting off. "Hey man, are you in there? You got ice cream on your face." Seeing that he didn't reply I spoke a little louder. "Dude, are you in there?" Cam snapped back into focus and the look he sent me made me almost lose it. He was looking at me like a deer in the headlights. He looked scared to death. I decided to ignore the look, and grinned at Cam while reaching across the table. Cam just barely kept back a flinch as my fingers grazed his cheek.

"You want to tell me what you were thinking about there? You were drifting out all over the place." I asked softly, trying to hide the hurt I felt as he flinched from my hand.

Cam gulped and quickly got up and left the table. Frowning after his very uncharaisticly anxious demeanor, I followed him. Catching up with him I grabbed his shoulder and was surprised to feel Cam shaking.

"Cam what is going on, what's wrong?"

Cam took a deep breath and forced himself to stop shaking, turning around he faced me again and saw genuine concern in my eyes. "It's nothing, don't worry about it." he assured me shakily.

Regular POV

Hunter shook his head and waited for Cam to tell him.

Sighing Cam looked at his feet. Looking up he muttered something that Hunter couldn't quite make out.

"What?" He responded only to hear Cam sigh and repeat himself.

"I…" he stopped and looked around shaking his head and taking off, glancing back to make sure Hunter followed him, "Look this isn't easy to admit and I realize I'm probably fucking up everything we've been through and our friendship by opening my mouth and telling you this but I can't stand it anymore, I have to be honest for my own sanity. I love you, Hunter. I never could admit it before but I love you. I think I always have." Glancing back up to Hunter's eyes he was amazed to see love, hope and joy beaming back at him in full force.

Grinning Hunter pulled him closer and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips. Pulling back he smirked at the dazed expression that Cam was wearing.

"Uh Hunter, what was that?" he asked as he blinked and tried to focus.

Rolling his eyes he fought a grin as he led Cam back to the Vibe. "That is what is commonly known as a kiss, Cam. It usually happens when two people like each other and want to show each other just how much they do care."

Growling at him, Cam pushed Hunter against the car and kissed him with a bit more force than before; after parting, and noticing the stares from some of the people in the vicinity.

Hunter gave them a saucy smirk and waved sarcastically as he opened the door for Cam. "Here get in, I'll drive." Raising an eyebrow, he nevertheless got into the passenger seat. Hunter opened the door and slid into the driver's seat... or at least, he tried too. "Damn Cam, how freaking close do you have to be to the wheel to drive?" He asked with a wince as he pushed the seat back.

Cam smirked but did not comment. Hunter started the car and was about to pull out when Cam's hand stopped him,

"Seatbelt" he reminded as Hunter looked over to him.

Rolling his eyes, Hunter snapped the restraint and gave Cam's smirking lips a quick kiss before pulling out of the lot.

Pulling back out onto the highway going towards the academy, Hunter smiled as Cam laced his left hand with Hunter's right. He began to chuckle and at Cam's questioning look Hunter smirked and brought his hand up to kiss, "You're so cute when you cuss." He teased Cam as he recalled the other's elegant yet crass confession. Unlacing hands long enough to switch on the radio; he immediately grabbed Cam's hand again. They sat there, knowing that nothing more needed to be said, they belonged to each other and always would. No matter who opposed them.

Hunter ignored the commercials and instead focused his attentions on Cam and driving, until he heard a band name and familiar chords starting to play. Grinning he pulled over to the side of the road and placed the car in park. Turning as fully as he could towards Cam he smiled at his confused expression "Just listen." He said as he started to sing.

I missed you so much that

I begged here to fly here and see me

You must've broke down

Cause you finally said that you would

But now that you're here I just feel like

I'm constantly dreaming

But something's gotta go wrong

Cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good

Cam blushed and smiled shyly up to the blond as he continued singing the song to him, hitting the notes with a near perfect pitch and tone but with the most adorable blush gracing his features while he crooned. Cam made sure to listen closely to the words and by the time the song ended he had tears in his eyes threatening to fall.

Hunter slapped the radio off as another song came on. Smiling softly, he wiped the tears off of Cam's cheeks as they finally fell. "Why are you crying love?"

Cam sniffed slightly, "Is this really how you feel?" He asked. Hunter looked at him and nodded slightly as he shuddered. "My entire life I have been afraid to love. Because every time I fall in love, whether it was love for my parents, or Blake...I...I lost them, they always left, in some way or another they left, I don't want to lose you too."

Cam's heart melted as Hunter revealed his fears. "Hunter, I can't promise that out relationship won't be difficult at times but I want us to last, forever, I will never leave you. You mean too much to me to just let you go. I won't let us be torn apart. Not by anyone or anything. I. LOVE. YOU... and I always will." Hunter let out a tiny sob and clutched Cam to him. Holding him, Cam saw that he was no longer capable of driving. After a few more minutes, he unbuckled both of their seatbelts and got out of the car. Coming around to the driver's side he opened the door and pulled his boyfriend out. Kissing him he led him around to the other side and made him get in. Returning to the driver's side he slid in and realized that his seat was pushed back as far as possible. Growling in mock irritation he pulled the seat forward receiving a playful smirk from Hunter.

"You do realize that we will never be able to disclose to anyone how we told each other how we felt right?" Snickering at the thought of Blake, Shane, and Dustin's face, he agreed. "Yes, we can probably tell Tori, but even she would tease a little." Hunter nodded, then grinned, "Well we can always say that we got into a snit and you jumped me."

Cam sputtered in disbelieve. "I jumped you? Last time I checked you were the one to initiate the kiss."

Hunter laughed, "Yes, but their expressions will be sooo much better on film if we say you did it."

Cam smirked at the idea of their hairbrained friends' reactions to the news. "So does this mean you're my boyfriend?" He asked, batting his eyelashes at Hunter and trying hard not to grin.

Hunter snickered and rolled his eyes. "Um, a little junior high, but yes." He said teasingly as he entwined his fingers with Cam's once more.

Cam sighed and slowly began to drive again, reveling in the quite peacefulness of their silence as he caught the turnoff and began to drive back up the logging road. Pulling back into the same trail end as before, they parked and got out of the car making sure to lock it as they made their way through the pitch black woods back to the Academy. Reaching the portal they walked leisurely towards the room set up for Cam. Reaching his door Hunter pulled Cam closer to him and gave him a sweet, lingering kiss; full of love. Smiling at his boyfriend 'I just can't seem to stop calling him that!' Cam gave Hunter one last kiss before biting his lip as he he looked around the halls for monitors or students.

"Goodnight, Hunter." He said softly.

Hunter gave him that sexy smirk of his, "Goodnight gorgeous, sleep tight."

Blushing and laughing quietly, Cam finally closed the door.

Hunter stood there for a second before turning away with a huge grin on his face.

Smiling faintly to himself, Sensei Omino stepped out of the shadows as Hunter left. 'Take care of him, Cameron, as I know he will take care of you'
