Confusion
Things were getting out of hand some times. The looks, the touches, the smiles. It was all getting too much for the young brunette. Dustin Brooks had slowly been noticing things, things that he shouldn't be noticing. And it was all getting out of hand. Dustin was supposed to be in a nice happy almost relationship with Marah, Cam's strange alien cousin. But he was plagued with dreams of someone else, a stunning athletic blond, one that he just couldn't get out of his head.
Hunter Bradley had been training with the others at the Wind Academy again, the Thunder Academy being redone up. Ever since Hunter's reappearance Dustin had been having troubles, trouble sleeping, trouble concentrating, trouble teaching, trouble working. Yes, things were definitely out of hand. So the brunette decided to do something about it. The only problem with that was finding the courage and whether or not Hunter would allow it.
Dustin was finishing his shift at the Storm Chargers, thinking about what he was going to say to Hunter, trouble was Dustin wasn't good with words, his goofy nature caused everyone to see him as that, a goof and sometimes it was true. He could take on the bad asses of the universe, teach people how to fight like real ninja's, but when it came to telling someone how he felt; Dustin turned into a stuttering, nervous wreck.
"Okay, I'm locking up now Dustin, you heading home?" Dustin smiled at Kelly, nodding his head. He picked up his backpack and his jacket, heading to the door as Kelly waited for him.
"Thanks Kel, see ya tomorrow." Dustin kissed Kelly's cheek before running down the street towards his apartment, where Hunter was staying during his visit. Dustin ran almost the whole way there, running over everything in his head, making sure he knew what he was doing. He had to get this right, if he didn't, it might mean losing Hunter as a friend and teammate. Dustin opened the door to his apartment, being greeted by the smell of something nice.
"Man, what's that smell?" Dustin asked, dropping his bag and removing his jacket. Hunter came out of the kitchen a bowl in his arms.
"I'm making dinner." He stated simply. But Dustin wasn't too bothered about that; he was too focused on what Hunter was wearing. His black shirt with two crimson stripes was open, showing Dustin his perfectly toned chest. "You up for some pasta?" Dustin couldn't form any words, so he just nodded. "Cool, it'll be ready in ten." With that Hunter went back into the kitchen and Dustin headed to his room, intent on changing his clothes.

Dustin had no idea that Hunter was such a good cook, but he was struggling to enjoy his meal when Hunter just sat opposite him, eating and talking like there was nothing else to do. Dustin couldn't stop thinking about what he wanted to do to Hunter, especially since he saw Hunter with his shirt open.
"Hey man, what's up? You've been really quiet." Dustin looked up at Hunter when he said this, Dustin's brown eyes meeting blue ones.
"It's nothing," Dustin said with a shrug, "I've just been thinking about things." Hunter nodded once, standing and heading over to the sink.
"What things?" The blond asked, putting his stuff in the sink before turning back towards Dustin. The brunette looked at the other male, instantly regretting it. Hunter's shirt had been buttoned in the middle, but that still left the bottom and top open. With the low slung pants clinging to his hips and the shirt open at the bottom Dustin wasn't sure he'd be able to control his imagination.
"Well it's nothing just…well…" Dustin blushed, knowing he was turning into a jibbering wreck. Hunter just laughed a little.
"Come on bro, you can tell me." The smirk on the blondes face did it for Dustin, unable to stop himself the brunette left his chair and crossed over to where Hunter stood. Without a second thought Dustin took Hunter's face in his hands and kissed the blond firmly. Hunter went slack in shock and Dustin pulled away quickly.
"Shit…dude, I'm sorry I…just…I don't know what…" Dustin's stuttering stopped when Hunter pushed off the counter he was leaning on and walked towards a backing away Dustin, the younger male thinking he was about to be beaten to a pulp. "Hunter, I'm sorry look I just…"
Hunter was the one who shocked Dustin this time, grabbing the back of Dustin's head Hunter pulled him closer and sealed Dustin's lips with his own. It took a few seconds for the slighter male to comprehend what was happening, but soon Dustin was returning Hunter's kiss with passion. Dustin let his hands roam over the body of the Thunder ninja, enjoying the feel of the muscles under his touch, Hunter moaned in his mouth as Dustin became slightly more adventurous with his hands, slowly inching lower. Dustin broke off the kiss hesitantly, locking eyes with Hunter.
"That's what's been on your mind?" Hunter asked, slightly out of breath.
"Yeah, been driving me crazy." Dustin said, his forehead resting against Hunter's. "I just…I can't stop thinking about you and…this." Hunter groaned when Dustin's fingers skimmed over his chest, the feather soft touches leaving a trail of goosebumps.
"You want it?" Hunter asked, his mouth going to Dustin's neck, nipping lightly at the skin before going to his ear. "You want me?" Hunter whispered seductively in Dustin's ear, sending shivers of anticipation down his spine. Dustin arched his back as Hunter licked at his earlobe, playing with the skin between his teeth.
"Oh, god yeah." Dustin answered, his breathing becoming hitched and ragged. This time it was Hunter's hands that did the exploring, running down Dustin's sides, along his hips and round to his back.
"Then I think we need to take this somewhere else." Hunter mumbled before taking Dustin's mouth in another searing kiss. Before Dustin could really react the blond had moved them, walking Dustin through to his room before kicking the door shut behind him.

As the morning light shone through the window of Dustin's room. The brunette woke slowly, relishing the feel of the body beside him. Dustin smiled as he snuggled slightly into Hunter's chest, remembering the events of the previous night. As it turned out he didn't need to worry too much about Hunter's reaction; it was quite favourable in fact. Hunter's hand started to move, tracing small patterns on Dustin's back absentmindedly. Dustin smiled into Hunter's tanned skin, loving the feel even more.
"Morning." Hunter said groggily. Dustin mumbled his greeting into Hunter's chest, causing the other male to laugh at the tickling on his skin. "I take it you slept well?" Dustin nodded, causing more laughter from Hunter. "Come on you, we need to get up." Hunter said, trying to dislodge Dustin. But the brunette was not ready for this moment to end, grabbing Hunter's wrist as he left the bed, pulling the blond back to the bed before straddling him.
"Don't want to." Dustin said with a pout. Hunter ran a hand through the brunette's soft hair bringing him down for a soft kiss. Dustin moaned as Hunter's tongue skittered across Dustin's lips. Hunter pulled away reluctantly, smiling up at Dustin. "Hunter, do I need to talk to Marah?" Dustin asked, trying to take a more subtle approach.
"About what?" Hunter asked, his hands moving to tease Dustin.
"About me and her. I've sort of almost been dating her." The younger male said nervously.
"Do you want to continue this?" Hunter asked, now kissing and licking Dustin's chest.
"Yes."
"Do you want to finish things with her?" Hunter asked, but Dustin didn't understand what he meant, pulling Hunter's head back Dustin frowned at him. "I can handle you being with her and me. I don't mind." Hunter said with a shrug. "It's up to you." Dustin smiled a little.
"I don't want you to be some 'affair'." Dustin said, adding in the little air quotes with his hands. Hunter chuckled.
"Good, cause I would rather you were just mine." Hunter told Dustin, capturing his lips in a firm and possessive kiss.
"Then I'll just be yours." Dustin said with a smile, glad that things ended up the way they did.
THE END.
