Summary: Ars Amatoria's Ranger Romance Theme challenge; 40. Home.
Home
Home… I always thought it was a place. I thought mine was gone, abandoned. Evil forced us to leave the place we called home behind, making us hide in fear of our lives.
Reluctantly I called a spaceship my home for two lonely years, my only company a frozen comatose best fried and an obnoxious AI.
Then they joined. Four annoyingly cheerful rangers form the meaningless planet called Earth. I never fully got to understand why I turned around and gave them those morphers, but I'm sure glad I did.
At first I hated them, loathed their presence around me, but gradually I found myself drawn to them and started to consider them my friends. I even started to realize I had fallen and I had fallen hard.
How she managed to capture my heart, I don't know and I don't think I'll ever find out, but I'm sure glad she did.
I almost lost her thinking home is a place.
Evil was defeated and my people returned to my planet, I thought I had my home back. When she asked me to come back to Earth with her, I told her I was home. I could see her heart breaking in her eyes, but I couldn't back down.
It wasn't until she closed the hatch it drew on me. The emptiness hit fast and hard. I had to go after her.
When she was back in my arms again, I told her my home was with them; the team. It was a lie. I can live without the team, I can't live without her.
As I stare at her now, sleeping in my arms, I know I did the right thing.
Home is not a place, home is a person or a group of people.
My home is Ashley Hammond, my heart, my soul, my life, she just doesn't know it yet.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it. I did and I'm sure a lot of these will follow. Please review.
