Sleepless Nights
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
All of Space Patrol Delta was asleep in their beds; all save a certain blue ranger. Bridge was trying to get some sleep. However, it seemed tonight, that sleep wasn't coming. He sighed and turned over. Bridge shuffled uncomfortably in his bed. It felt weird not sharing a room.
Shortly after Gruum's defeat on Earth, Sky and Bridge were promoted to Red and Blue Rangers. Sky took the room that came with being the Red Ranger. Truth be told, he missed rooming with Sky. He missed the discussions they sometimes had at night to distract Bridge from the nightmares he woke up from and the fact that Sky was just there.
Bridge sighed again and got up. He walked out of his room and headed for the Rec Room. No one was there, so he thought about eating something and trying to go back to sleep. For awhile, sat in a chair eating a sandwich he made for himself and stared out the window revealing the dark landscape of the sky.
Bridge was so relaxed he didn't sense or feel anyone come in to the Rec Room. Softly making his way, Schuyler "Sky" Tate tiptoed up to his former roommate. "So, what're you doing so late at night?" Sky asked. Bridge nearly fell out of his seat. His heart beating faster than a ship could travel, he looked around and his eyes fell on Sky. "Couldn't sleep," was the reply. Bridge hoped he didn't sound too frightened.
Sky took a seat and sat next to Bridge. They both stared at each other for a few seconds and then away, intent on anything but each other. After a few minutes of silence, Sky was the first one to speak.
"So…"
"Yeah…"
"Um, so… were you having nightmares again?"
"No, I just couldn't sleep tonight."
"Why?"
Bridge shrugged. "Dunno…" He wasn't TOTALLY lying. It was true. He DIDN'T know why he wasn't sleeping. For a few days now, Bridge began to feel uncomfortable around Sky. For that last few days, he spent all his time thinking about his mixed up feelings. He spent endless nights thinking about how Sky made him feel uncomfortable but also happy at the same time… However, despite his efforts, he couldn't figure out what he was feeling.
Sky sighed. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Err; I think I'll go back to bed…" Bridge nodded. After looking at Bridge for a few more seconds, Sky left. Bridge watched Sky as he left. He sighed. Would he ever figure out what he was feeling?
