When
Disclaimer: I own nothing. If anything I should give GdT and his magic movie making team the rights to my firstborn for the amazing gift they have given this world.
Author's note: Saw the movie for the fifth time this afternoon and as I drove home from the theater my imagination conjured this little scene and it refused to leave me alone. I haven't written any fanfic in a long while so apologies if I'm a bit rusty. Hope you enjoy!
When Chuck moved towards him Raleigh almost reacted by shoving him away, but Chuck's body language wasn't saying he wanted to fight again so Raleigh let him approach, even though his muscles were tensed and ready to react the entire time.
When Chuck's hands fisted in Raleigh's sweater, yanking the older man forward hard enough to force Chuck back a step, Raleigh instinctively grabbed Chuck's shoulders to keep his footing.
When Chuck said nothing before his lips crashed against Raleigh's hard enough to knock their teeth together, Raleigh didn't get a chance to even consider shoving the other Ranger away. Chuck held on tight and kissed him like it was his job.
When reality kicked back in as Chuck growled against him, no doubt frustrated at Raleigh's lack of response, Raleigh did what felt right at the time which was tighten his hands on Chuck's t-shirt to pull him closer, kissing him back hard enough to hopefully show that he was all in.
When he felt Chuck relax against him and breathe his name just a second before his hands were in Raleigh's hair and his tongue was in Raleigh's mouth, the blonde Ranger thought it was the best feeling he'd felt in a long long time, aside from when he was piloting Gipsy of course. Raleigh wasn't ashamed of admitting that either. He was sure Chuck would understand.
When they ended up in Raleigh's room, tugging off clothes and making out like a pair of horny teenagers, Raleigh had to pull back for a second to catch his breath. It was so so good and even though sometimes their hands and bodies were unsure of the other it was mostly absolutely perfect.
When Raleigh woke the next morning he couldn't help but smile because even though he knew there was no way he could keep any of what had happened from Mako it didn't seem to matter. The next time they drifted she had one hell of a surprise coming. Even knowing that Raleigh couldn't help but think that while it had felt really good to put a beating on Chuck Hansen, it had felt so much better to wake up next to him.
