Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers, if i did there would be a lot more slash to entertain us.

Chapter #1-Cold

Trent shivered and hugged his chest that little bit tighter, taking a shuddering breath the white ranger glanced up at his leader and Red ranger Conner McKnight who was sitting against the cave wall staring out at the night sky blandly. The two of them had been called out together by Dr O to fight a monster, something about getting the red and white ranger teamwork up to par.

It really was a stupid move by their mentor; Trent couldn't help but think irritably, he and Conner were amicable at best, and with his resent go at being the evil white ranger things between the red ranger and himself were frosty. The two of them could hardly stand to be in the same room together but it didn't affect them on the battle field which made the black ranger's request just that little bit unusual.

Although if there was a repeat of what happen today in an actual battle he wouldn't surprised if the black ranger tied the two of them together and forced them into a closet to work out their problems. Trent grinned at the idea but stopped when another cold breeze blew through the cave making him shive uncontrollably again.

Letting out a small sigh Trent leant back and replayed what had happened that day through his head, the battle had started out in the favour with the two of them attacking the monster by themselves making sure not to get in each other's ways, but then the monster had caught onto their tactics and began to attack them as a unit making it impossible for either one of them to hit him. It wasn't until Conner had purposely taken the full hit from a blast to shield him that the two for them made a shaky partnership.

In the end they had taken out the monster, but by the end he had a big gash and it was beginning to fall to night with the sky slowly darkening. The red ranger had acted immediately once he had seen the gash on his side and had pulled them into the cave before he used his sweater to make bandages which he carefully tied around the wound.

"How's the wound?"

Trent started his gaze becoming wild when Conner suddenly spoke not turning his gaze away from the forest just outside of the cave mouth. It had been so silent before the red ranger spoke and it had startled him out of his thoughts. Swallowing back the shock Trent replied to the question.

"Ah...it's a little sore" he mumbled trying not to admit to his leader that he was in a world of pain "I don't think the temperature is helping" he said letting out a tired sigh and winced when he breath turned into a fog.

Everything was silent for a moment and Trent tried not to shift because of his wound despite the fact that Conner was now staring at him in concern. "Trent are you cold?" he asked the concern shinning through his kind tone.

The white ranger just nodded closing his eyes tiredly, he was still a little surprised at how good his fellow ranger had been at patching him up, that is until Conner had told him that he had been patching himself up for years and thanks to years of soccer games and now rangering he had learnt how to take care of most injuries.

"I'd offer you my sweater but it's not very useful anymore" the red ranger said as he gave him a small smile making one grace his own features.

Trent looked down at his shirt that was concealing the ripped red material that was being used as a makeshift bandage "I think that it's doing a good job" he said chuckling a little dryly.

The red ranger nodded and then moved over to him until their sides were pressing together and Trent could feel the comforting warmth that the red ranger was emitting. "Hey don't worry Dr O'll come get us soon I swear" Conner said trying to keep the conversation going.

Sighing as he rambled off into a speech about how reliable their mentor was Trent took this time to really look at his leader. The cheerleaders really weren't lying when they said he was cute he had decided, with his beautiful chocolate locks that in the slightest light had a red sheen to it, his expressional brown eyes that a person could get lost in, couple that with his wicked smile and great personality Conner McKnight was the perfect guy.

"Why are we always fighting" he said softly looking at his hands that had the slightest traces of his blood on them.

Conner sighed and shrugged "I think that's my fault" he said letting out a laugh "I felt betrayed by you and I didn't want to trust you again despite Dr O and Kira telling me you were good" he said in an ashamed voice.

Trent stared at the red leader in total awe; this was the most he had gotten out of the soccer player since he had joined the Dino-Thunder team a few weeks earlier. "What?" he said: wincing at the unintelligent word that had fallen from his lips before he could stop it.

The red ranger smiled at him and Trent would blame his stomach flipping on the fact that he had a wound seeping blood and not on the charming smile his leader just gave him. "Trent do you remember why you tricked us into thinking you were good that first time?" he asked softly. Trent winced at the memory but nodded spurring the red ranger on with his explanation "Well remember that I was the first one to trust you. When I found out that you were faking it the whole time I felt betrayed"

The white ranger looked down sadly and nodded, he hadn't even thought about what he had done to Conner in that time but now that he thought about it the red ranger was more welcoming than Kira had been at that time. "I put all my trust into you that time and you threw it back in my face. Now I know it was the gem but when you came back to us saying you were all better I couldn't bring myself to trust you again because I didn't want to risk getting hurt"

Conner turned and gave him a weak smile and put his arm around his side pulling him closer making sure not to jostle his wound. "I'm sorry for that" he said giving him a one armed hug.

Trent gasped as he felt another shiver run through his body only this time it had nothing to do with the temperature outside but instead on the person beside him and the arm around his shoulders that were sending tingles all through his body. Thinking he was still cold Conner pulled Trent closer to him so that his head was resting on his chest making Trent's eyes fly wide in shock.

"C-Conner what are you doing?" he stammered out in shock, but not moving away: the boy was like a damn heat generator and he was cold can you blame him.

A dry chuckle was his answer and Conner running a hand through his inky black locks making him relax even further into the strange embrace the red ranger was giving him. "Just relax Trent. I'll take care of you I promise" he whispered in his ear.

At that moment Trent looked up and when he looked into Conner's kind eyes he didn't know if it was because Conner had saved his life first in the battle earlier that day, or the way he was being held and comforted in that moment but Trent could have honestly said that he had never before felt as loved as he did in that moment. It was because of that feeling that Trent surged forward and kissed the red ranger with all he had.

As he did Trent was shocked and a little envious to find out that Conner was a great kisser, he wasn't to strong and pushy but he had just the right amount of passion behind it to make it feel less awkward then a first kiss should be. Suddenly everything came back to him as he ran through his thoughts once more: he was kissing Conner and he was kissing right back!

He was just about to pull back and ask what was going on when he felt the red ranger's tongue swipe at his lip and without a second thought he opened his mouth for his leader and welcomed his tongue like an old friend letting out a quiet moan at the shocking pleasure it brought with it. Trent didn't know if he was going to die because of his wound he didn't know what would happen when they were found but he couldn't bring himself to care in the slightest, because all he wanted to do in the moment was kiss Conner and have the loyal ranger keep kissing him, and if he need an excuse later he could always use the temperature.
