Mack and Tyzonn: Forbidden love?
Tyzonn was in the garden that belonged to the Hartford family, he seemed to find himself there a lot, he was once again thinking, the others were all inside. 'I am so dead if the others back on my home planet find out, I'm dead in a literal sense.' He groaned and ran a hand through his hair. Tyzonn was in love with Mack but being gay was shamed on his planet, the penalty was death by hanging. However gay children had been taught that when they have a 'gay thought' they could teach themselves to be straight or normal. They simply had to cut themselves on the wrist to cause pain and there mind would eventually learn that no 'gay thoughts' meant no pain and they would become normal. Tyzonn had also been taught this, and was having to do it more frequently when he was around Mack. 'I remember when I first saw Mack, he trusted me even though I didn't trust myself. I love him for that and he is so good looking, I'm surprised he's single. Oh shit bad thoughts bad mecurian, bad mecurian.' He got up and walked around the garden casually before reaching his destination of behind a bush where no one could see him. He sat down and pulled a knife out of his pocket, and took it in his right hand; he held his left wrist open to attack. Tyzonn brought the knife down and swiped across his wrist that then bled. Tyzonn did nothing to stem the flow of blood. As Tyzonn watched the blood circle his arm he heard someone coming and he quickly pulled his sleeve back down and put the knife back in his pocket when Dax found him. He hid his arm because even though the scars were hidden he hadn't cleaned up the blood and it was, most likely going to show through his sleeve.
"Hey Ty, what you doing?" Dax asked in his usual bubbly voice, "Nothing really just relaxing and learning a lesson." He glanced at his wrist, "Oh ok well we need you down at base." Dax got up and Tyzonn followed then Dax noticed the red sleeve, "What happened? You're bleeding." Tyzonn hid his arm, "Its nothing just pricked on a bush." They ran to the base where the others were waiting for them, "Sorry we're late guys." Ty said when they got there, as Ronnie filled them in Andrew looked at Tyzonn's red sleeve and said nothing for the time being, when Ronnie had finished explaining, Andrew said. "Go rangers and remember keep your attacks aerial when possible. Tyzonn can I talk to you for a minute." The others left and Tyzonn waited for Andrew to speak. "Spencer could you fetch me a sandwich?" Once Spencer had left Andrew began his real talk, "Tyzonn why are you doing this?" Tyzonn gave him a blank look, so Andrew pointed at his red sleeve, "Oh that, I cut myself on a thorn." Tyzonn replied lying through his teeth, "We both know that's not true." Tyzonn sighed he really didn't want to talk this over with him, "With all due respect Mr. Hartford my team needs me." and Tyzonn left without waiting for a reply.
When the team got back Tyzonn avoided Andrew and Mack as much as possible he really didn't want to cut again. Mack on the other hand loved Tyzonn back but he wasn't as afraid of it, he wasn't going to announce it but if he got the feeling Tyzonn liked him back he wouldn't be afraid to ask him out. After the fight Tyzonn pretty much fled and Mack followed he was determined to get to the bottom of the sexy assed rangers disappearances. Tyzonn stopped after about two minutes, "Mack could you please stop following me." Mack turned to him, "But Ty where are you going? I care about you, ya know." Tyzonn's eyes widened, "No you can't because then I will and then, but if that, I mean you can't, I mean I can't, I mean we can't, I mean grrrrr I don't know what I mean." Mack became concerned, "Ty take it easy, calm down." Mack walked up to Tyzonn and hugged him in reassurance, Tyzonn tensed up at the contact of another male but he couldn't help melting into it and hugging back.
Tyzonn forgot about his teachings for a minute and let himself be hugged by some one of the same sex, Mack pulled back slightly and kissed Tyzonn and Tyzonn closed his eyes kissing back, it was then that the teachings returned. Tyzonn pulled back. "Mack what are we doing? I can't believe we did that or I did that or oh I don't know. Oh my god I have to be punished." Tyzonn ran off dragging the knife out of his pocket as he went not caring if Mack saw, Mack was left standing there thinking 'What the fuck?' Mack ran after Tyzonn and saw him as he slipped behind the same bush as earlier, Tyzonn cut and cut leaving three more bands of pain and blood to circle his arm, but he didn't hear Mack coming.
Mack soundlessly went behind the bush. "Tyzonn what the hell?" Tyzonn who was sat down just stared and didn't answer, "Ty? Why did you do this?" Ty sighed, "Because it's the way we teach our minds." "Teach them what?" "I was wrong and out of line and I apologise for that, on my planet I would be dead by now. Being gay is the worst crime you can commit on my planet and as such if you are caught you are sentenced to death by hanging. However to give gay children a chance we were told that if we had a 'gay thought' or did something wrong, this is what we did then eventually it would imprint in our minds that gaypain." Mack sat down next to him, "No offence Ty but that's bullshit, if you're gay then you're gay there's nothing you can do about it." Ty reeled back "No I have to be normal." And Tyzonn ran.
