Thanks to EpicKiya for helping a lot with this! :D
It wasn't an easy decision to make. It never really is for anybody. To expose yourself, your privacy to someone, especially your family, is nerve-wrecking at the most. Jason was so unsure how his parents would react to his over-pondering reveal to come out to them as gay. Let alone his father. He wouldn't have decide to do it if it wasn't for the support of his friends. They were already in his corner, ready to help him out in any way if the end result was bad. That eased Jason, calming his struggling he
had some great friends, and an ever-loving boyfriend, motivated him more.
After a quick shower and a dress of clothes, dark jeans and a dark red shirt, Jason made his way downstairs. He peeked into the den, seeing that both his parents were relaxed. Great he needed that. He sighed, feeling his heart beating against his ribcage for the hundredth time that day. 'Jason, you got this. You're not the Red Ranger for nothing. You faced evil worse than this. The worst they could do is be disappointed and kick me out.'
But that was what he didn't want. He didn't want to disappoint his parents and he didn't want them to disown me. He doubted he could handle that. Yet he had to get this over with.
"Mom, Dad. I have something to tell you.", he announced, walking in and catching their attention. The two of them glanced up at their son before nodding him to continue. He sat down across from them, more nervous about being face to face with them. "For a while now, I've been debating on this and well... it's not easy for me to say this...", he started, surprised his voice wasn't shaky. He spotted the questioning within his mother's eyes and the anticipation in his father's. Both served as signs for him to just let it out.
'This would be easier if my friends were here. Damn... here goes nothing.'
"I'm... I'm gay."
Silence. Air piercing silence. It made the room feel oddly and uncomfortably stuffy, like choking Jason.
He watched as the shock filled his parents' faces. Not happy, yet undeciding angry.
"You're gay?", his mother questioned first softly, but it was clear that she wondered if her son was playing a joke.
Jason nodded. "I am."
His mother glanced at his father, who had yet to spoken to him and now wasn't even looking at him. Jason's chest ached a little, seeing that his father wasn't looking at him, as if he was a stranger. Or worse.
"Dad?"
"Jason, I think you should go stay at a friend's for a while. Give your father and I some time to... discuss this.", his mother suggested.
He just stood, somehow seeing this coming. And right now, he just needed his friends, more importantly, Billy.
"So they kicked you out?"
Jason took a slow sip of his soda, nodding. "Well... it was kind of unclear. My mom just told me to leave for a while. I don't know how long and at this point I don't care.", he answered nonchalantly to Zack's question.
He felt a hand going under his and a head resting on his shoulder. "You know you can stay over at my place, right? My mom will welcome you."
Jason smiled at his boyfriend's offer. It was true that Billy's mother would welcome him. She approved of him when she found out what Jason done for her son when the bully incident happened, though she didn't really condone violence like that. She treated Jason like family, probably more than his own parents when he thought about it. She was angel, and a true one when she found out about the boys' relationship. She witnessed their first kiss and sat them down for a talk. It went smoothly and she laid out some rules, but overall she was excited. Billy's mother was another reason Jason felt okay with his sexuality.
"Thank you, Billy."
"It's no problem."
Kimberly held back a coo from the quick kiss the two shared. She remembered how those two practically danced around each other, mostly from Jason's part. Billy was kind of oblivious, being possibly the most innocent of the bunch, but eventually he came to see he was clearly feeling Jason back.
It wasn't hard too, since Jason was indeed kind towards him, and very protective. Especially after the 'Billy Incident'. If someone even glanced Billy's way, Jason didn't restraint himself from growling at them.
Trini leaning forward, a fry sticking out her mouth. "So you'll be staying at your cinnamon roll of a boyfriend's house, hm? Any plans?", she teased, wiggling her brows. Jason's cheeks heated up at the things he wanted to do to Billy who buried himself into the crook of the slightly taller's neck. "We're not going anything like that.", Jason spoken back, holding Billy's other hand a little tighter. He liked the contrast of their skins as he did with their Ranger colors. Billy's was indeed a more collected person that Jason was.
Blue was just the right color for him.
"Sure you're not.", Zack laughed, adding onto the teasing. Jason reached over and punched him in the arm. "Ow!"
"Shut up, Zack."
"Jerk."
"But I'm Billy's jerk."
Billy had no words to reply to that when Jason planted another kiss on him.
Mrs. Cranston was informed of Jason's stay before the two made it back to the residence. She happily welcomed him, apologizing for the circumstances, but he brushed it off. She was just a sweet woman. No wonder Billy was the way he was.
"You know you can have the guest room or stay in Billy's room.", she offered, going into the kitchen to finish putting up groceries she recently brought. She knew the two would most likely end up cuddling in the same bed anyways. Again, she supported the two. Love was love and if Billy's father was alive he would have agreed.
Billy led Jason up the stairs, the latter already knowing his way around. Jason had made sure the two ended up in Billy's room, not really caring for the guest room. Right now, he wanted... no needed closeness with the Blue Ranger of the team.
The second the two entered the bedroom, Jason climbed in the bed, shoes and socks coming off quickly while pulling Billy with him. Billy doesn't argue, letting strong arms secured themselves around his waist while Jason's front was pressed against his back. He let a small smile find its way onto his lips, Jason's leaving light touches against his neck.
The light caresses of his lips made Billy giggle lightly, wiggling a bit in Jason's embrace. "What is with you and spooning?"
"I only enjoy doing it when it comes to you.", Jason muttered, his eyes closed. He really didn't need to see since he knew where Billy's neck was to lightly lick it. The other held back a small moan, reaching for one of his nearby comics to distract him. He opened to the first page, trying to read the first words, but it was hard to when the kisses got even more intense.
"Jason. Can I read?"
"I was aware of the fact you could, babe."
"No. I mean my comic. Can I read it? You can still cuddle against me."
"I'm doing that. What are you reading anyways?"
Billy shifted a little, showing his boyfriend the comic he was holding. Jason read the title of the comics and nodded, impressed. "The Young Avengers, huh? Who knew my Billy had good taste in comics?"
"I grew up with them. Honestly, I always wanted a relationship that Wiccan and Hulkling had, you know? They're willing to risk everything for each other. It's a beautiful relationship really."
Jason smiled, knowing where Billy was getting at. He knew about those comics and he knew about the relationship between Wiccan, who shared the name 'Billy' and Hulkling. He agreed with his own Billy, the relationship was sweet enough to give you cavities. And he truly wanted his relationship like that with the Blue Ranger. He promised that much.
He imagined the scenario if Billy and him were the known couple of the Young Avengers. Billy would definitely have the magic Wiccan possessed. A blue glow would look ravishingly picturesque around Billy's form. Hulkling's powers would definitely fit Jason's persona.
"Hey, babe. Billy."
"Hm?", the other answered, engaged in hs comic. Jason peeked over and saw he was on a page with Wiccan and Hulkling conversing with each other. Even on pages, Jason could practically feel the love they had for each other.
Yup. It perfectly mirrored how he felt for his Billy.
Thinking about it, his reveal to his parents was long forgotten. If they didn't welcome him back, he knew he would be needed somewhere else. Here, right here will Billy.
Someone who needed him as much as he needed Billy back. The dude was his soulmate. It made him smirk, thankful he decided to confront that bully. If he didn't, this sunshine would never have heen able to shine in his life. It warmed his mornings.
"Jay, did you want anything?", Billy questioned, turning more onto his back to give Jason the innocent gaze he never could get rid of. It was a weakness that Jason gladly gave into. He was surprised no one has yet to try to give Billy the world, because he sure in the hell would.
'Is it too early to ask for his hand and marriage and adopt? How did I get so lucky?', Jason thought breathlessly, unable to form coherent words out of his lips
"Jason? Are you okay?"
"Damn it. You. Are. Beautiful.", Jason growled, pressing their lips together. Billy was taken by surprise, his cheeks starting to heat by Jason's sudden move. He felt hands wander to his waist as he was firmly, yet comfortably pressed against the pillows. His grip on the comic was long gone, fallen to the floor and temporarily forgotten. Jason broken the kiss, diving into the crook of Billy's warm neck, nuzzling it. "You... I love you." And he meant it. Something about Billy, it drove him nuts enough to want to give him everything. His heart, his soul... everything.
"Jason... what brought this on?"
"Just you. Just... can I be your husband right now? Have kids with you?"
Billy ducked his embarrassed face within Jason's shirt, his laugh muffled by the material. He muttered something, but Jason couldn't hear it. He shifted their positions a little more, Jason between Billy's legs while he held his wrists down. He sat up just enough to look down at his boyfriend, feeling grateful he got a glimpse of those twinkling eyes. "What did you say?" Billy turned his head, avoiding eye contact. Jason leaned down, kissing the side of his lips sweetly. "What did you say?"
"I love you, too.", Billy admitted, well aware Jason had other methods to get it out of him. Yet unaware that Jason officially placed Billy even deeper into his heart and locking it.
"You know no one else could make me happier than you can right?"
"Really?"
"Most definitely. You're perfect for me."
No he wasn't.
Oh... but he was.
Jason let go of Billy's wrists, bringing both his hands up to kiss his knuckles. Each and every single one at a slow pace. Billy felt flustered, watching him. What did he do in the past, hell in history in one of his past lives, to earn this one? He gasped when a hand snaked under his shirt, finding its place on the small of his back, an ultimate weak spot. The lust craved gaze Jason shot him was a clear signal that he was in for it.
