So I finally decided to attempt the Ars Amatoria's Ranger Romance Themes Challenge. I will attempt 60 drabbles! Go me xD.
Disclaimer: I do not own this pairing in any way except the idea. This idea is mine and mine alone.
Summary: Andros finally realizes just what home is...
Pairing: Andros / Ashley
Point in time: I don't know, probably somewhere in the beginning near middle.

Home, a single word that describes where an individual or a group of individuals reside.
They say that home is where the heart belongs.
That's what people claim but I wouldn't know...
Back then, I was angry at a lot of things…
Angry at them for attacking my planet…
Angry at my parents for blaming me…
Angry at myself for letting it happen…
But I'm not anymore.
As I traveled across galaxies upon galaxies searching for it, hoping to find it but instead, found something even better.
I found her. I finally found the one thing that truly matters in my life.
Ashley Hammond, the former Yellow Turbo Ranger now turned Yellow Astro Ranger.
During the lonely nights, I would sometimes see her standing by a window, staring off into space with a saddened expression but she wouldn't be sad for long. She would cheer up in a minute, smiling to herself.
Later on, she would see me standing alone at another window and somehow, we always end up standing close to one another, staring off into the vastness of space. She would ask me a few questions about my home planet and I would answer her questions with a few short simple words.
I was trying to be rude to her, forcing her to leave me alone but she would always break through the façade that I have.
She would be able to see past my cold exterior and into my soul, knowing that all I ever wanted from someone was acceptance.
Aside from her questions, it still feels kind of nice, having her there at my side. For as long as I can remember, it has always been me and DECA but now, I have a team and I have her. We're like a small family here on this spaceship…
The countless nights that we spent together, the hours wasted just standing there, it was for one thing and one thing only.
Realization.
The longer I stand here with her, the more I realize that she was the very thing that I'm missing in my life.
As I stand here, I realize more and more that she is the very thing that would make my life complete.
And as I stand here, I realize that no matter where I go, no matter whom I'm with... my heart would always belong to her and that's where my home will always be.
With her.
So what did you all think? I liked it. Short and Sweet.
