Yeah...i wasn't really going to ad to this in the start but from the reaction I got to the first part i knew i just couldn't leave the story there so i decided to make it a three part fic- the end will be coming soon i promise-so i wanna thank all my lovely readers who decided to give Blake/Dustina go because this really wouldn't be getting written if it weren't for you.
Blake was sure he was dreaming, and had been for several months now, why: that's simple, because his life shouldn't have gone from miserable and downright painful to go through each day, to one that was so full of laughter and satisfaction in just a few months. But the thing was that since that faithful night with Dustin in that hotel bar in Italy where the two of them had ended up tangled up in his bed and having the best sex Blake could ever remember having. The thing that had made that day so perfect was that when the two of them had woken up the next day and Blake had been scared that Dustin would regret everything because he was the wrong brother the brunette had surprised him by sitting up and stoking his hair before muttering something about room service and breakfast.
After that day the two of them had decided to start a 'friends with benefits' relationship that allowed them to keep their great friendship with one another in tact while at the same time the two of them got to have that release they always needed even if it wasn't from their significant others-and f the sex just so happened to be absolutely amazing then that was just for the better-for the first month everything had been perfect the two of them living it up in Italy ignoring their old lives in California and spending a lot of time together both outside the hotel room and a hell of a lot inside either one of their rooms.
But then things got problematic: Dustin was forced to go to Greece while he moved onto Germany which meant their little passion filled 'relationship' if you could call it that, the two hadn't thought anything of it at first Dustin had let him drive him to the airport and after making him promise to take care of his bike left his with a smouldering kiss-that had made a lot of the Italian girls swoon and take snaps on their fancy camera phones before fanning themselves-and a wink he bounced onto his flight and was gone. Then of course he and Factory Blue had headed to Germany-and if his other teammates had noticed he was a little more upset and moody then he'd been in the past month then they had the tact not to say anything.
The first week was the hardest, Blake hadn't known that it would only take a month to get used to always waking up to the one person but the first week after Dustin was in Greece found Blake waking up feeling more depressed then when he went to sleep. But then of course Dustin in a spark of pure genius had skyped him on his laptop-when the hell he'd gotten Skype he would never know but all her knew was that it was allowing him to actually see Dustin so it was awesome. After that he found that waking up alone and going to bed without a partner wasn't too bad considering he still got to talk to his best friend every day now and see how he was doing.
The Germany trip lasted three weeks and then he was headed off to Spain while Dustin was going to Russia the one place he knew Dustin had been dying to see-something he hadn't even told his brother and Dustin had old Hunter a hell of a lot about himself in the attempt to show the crimson ranger how much he trusted him. It was a little disappointing he wasn't going to see Dustin again; he knew it sounded like a jerk thing to say but he needed him…sexually. When he had told Dustin this the yellow ranger and nodded and then given him a heavy look and promise to let him fuck him until the headboard broke the next time they were in the same city and that was more than enough for the navy ranger.
Because of the amount of time he had off Blake hadn't really had time for video calls with Dustin and instead they had decided to stay in contact with the normal phone call which while not as cool as video chat was good enough to keep the loneliness that had swallowed Blake before Italy at bay. So after hearing about all the cool photographs Dustin got to take in Russia and Greece-because for some reason during the Greece trip all Blake had talked about were the competition he was winning so now he repaying his friend back by letting him go on and on about how he had taken some breath taking shots on his days off when he wasn't required to shoot pictures of the riders that the magazine wanted for the next issue-Blake finally realised that a whole month had passed since they had really seen one another and that he still felt closer to Dustin then he did with Hunter at the moment.
Two days alter Dustin had called him happily revealing that he would be in Huston for the finals of the X-Games, the very same Games he'd be competing in, and just like that everything seemed to become clearer to Blake and he began riding with more focus and lustre-something that actually made his bosses more than happy with him. But then of course Cam had somehow gotten news of his return to the states and informed his brother who then called him up and told him straight out that the old team would be going to watch him ride so long as he was able to get in contact with Dustin and drag him back considering that no one had really talked to the travelling photographer in three months.
It was in that moment that Blake suddenly realized that he and Dustin had never told the others about their time together in Italy, in fact neither one of them had told them that they were in constant communication and that Blake probably knew more about the earth ninja than anyone else at that moment-and no that wasn't his ego talking-and yet when he was on the phone to his brother the one person he should be able to trust more than anyone else in his world he found that he couldn't tell him, couldn't tell his fellow thunder that he knew for a fact that Dustin would be in Huston for the event and that he and Dustin had gotten more than a little personal under the sheets.
Maybe it was stupid but when Dustin called him that night he hadn't mentioned a thing about the others coming to Huston: coming into their little world that they had created with just one another. Blake knew this was going to come back and kick him in the face once he was in Huston but when he heard Dustin talk about just how excited he was to be back in the states and hanging out with him again the navy ranger had found in impossible to tell him what he thought was bad news.
Which was the reason why he was a nervous wreck while on the plane headed to good old Texas where he would be riding in a competition that could be monumental if he won, then of course there was the whole fact that he was heading towards a group of people who didn't know that he and one their-and his-closest friends were doing the horizontal tango just for fun because their real love interests were either happily married or in a serious relationship with another-yeah not fun for the nerves in any way you put it.
Getting off the plane and into the hot Texas heat was like coming home to Blake who quickly took a deep breath of the air that had him smiling: he loved traveling probably always would, it was amazing to go to different places and hearing the languages that he had no hope in learning-while Dustin could!-but there was nothing like coming back home to the states where everything was the same and he didn't need a translator by his side almost 24/7. Jogging to the luggage compartment the young ex-ranger quickly counted his suitcases to make sure he had everything when he heard the voice he had been dying to hear in person since it had left him in Italy.
"Well hello there Blake" the amused and yet laid back voice said from behind him making him spin around and then laugh when he saw the handsome Brunette who had become his closest friend over the last few months.
Laughing the motocross rider pulled his friend into a tight hug which the other return just as happily patting his back fondly before he stepped back and Blake was able to see just how well Russia had treated his photographer friend. He had filled out more and put on more muscle making him look even more mature than he had in Italy, his skin was clean and had a freshness to it that spoke of cold days filled with snow and laughter but when he spotted what Dustin had down to his hair he couldn't help but laugh at the blonde streaked through the oily black locks spiked atop his head, on anyone else it would look stupid and an attempt to try and be a teenager again but on Dustin it actually made him look hot and made his amber eyes sparkle with a life that otherwise wouldn't be there.
"What!" Dustin laughed running a hand through his hair and giving him a wink "You don't like it?"
From anyone else that comment probably would have sounded like flirting or an opening for something more but Blake knew that despite all the action and games the two of them had gotten up to in the bedroom during their Italy trip that Dustin really was just asking about his opinion. So that was why he laughed and clapped Dustin on the shoulder and then nodded "Yeah buddy" he said happily "It looks great"
This earned him a bright smile that had his own smile getting bigger because when Dustin smiled at you like that there was just no way anyone could not smile right back along with him: it just wasn't possible. The two of the strode out of the airport gaining some longing gazes from both guys and girls alike making Blake smirk happily: he knew he was hot t wasn't just his ego talking it was true but when he was walking with Dustin who was gorgeous all by himself the two of them turned heads like nobody could-not even his brother who he had once been so jealous of because of his blue eyes and blonde hair that had captured the hearts of so many over the years.
Dustin had noticed the attention as well and had stopped waving over a pair of girls who suddenly light up like New York on new year's eve making Blake chuckle low and quiet so nobody could hear him, because it was just so funny how he like everyone else just got happy by being noticed by the cute brunette next to him. "Hiya girls what's on your mind" Dustin asked giving them both wide happy smiles that had Blake shaking his head at the earth ninja's friendliness.
The girl with black hair with white streaked through it looked at her blonde friend who was blushing madly and then turned back to Dustin keeping her eyes low in either embarrassment or shyness "Well we know this is gonna sound weird but can we take a picture with you?" she asked making Blake have to hold back a laugh.
As a star motocross rider he had been forced to take a lot of photos with fans in his time but never before had he ever been asked to take a picture with someone because of the way he looked, although when he stole a glance at Dustin he saw that he seemed casual about the whole thing almost as if he was used to being asked to take pictures with random strangers. "Sure got a camera" he said beaming making the blonde gape openly at him almost as if she was ready for their request to be ignored.
The black and white haired girl produced a nice and expensive looking one and gave Dustin a hesitant smile which he just replied with his one much more confident one and stepped up and pulled her closer while he moved over to the blonde and pulled her closer to the other girl so they could get into the photo as well. Dustin held the camera up so they were all in the image and then clicked the button swamping them in light for a split second before they were stepping away from one another and Dustin hands the camera back to the girl who was beaming giddily when he showed her the image.
"Have a good day" Dustin said happily making the girl focus her attention back on the real life version of the boy who had just willingly take the photo she now had on her camera.
"Thank you so much" she said happily before pulling her still slightly dazed friend towards the check in desk while Blake and Dustin watched in amusement before picking up their own bags and heading towards the exit.
As they walked into the hot Texas air Blake watched as Dustin hailed a taxi like a pro which leads Blake into thinking about all the different things that his friend had learnt while he was in the cold European country that he had been set on seeing since he was six and his mom had taken him to see the Russian Ballet preform the nutcracker which just so happened to be a month before she died suddenly because of an illness his father and the rest of the family had been keeping from him. He wondered what Greece had taught him, if he had learned all the traditional things he had been gushing about in Italy and did him meet and befriends a how village full of locals.
"Where to boys" the cabbie asked glancing back at the two guys that had bundled themselves onto his backseat.
Dustin looked up and smiled happily "Hilton Hotel please" he said with excitement brimming in his tone that had the elderly cab driver chuckling at the infectious good mood the young black hair boy seemed to be exerting throughout the car and infecting him with his joy.
Turning to face Dustin more face on Blake couldn't stop the smile from spreading across his face like an infection "So...how was Russia" he asked his excitement clear in his voice which told him how eager he was to know how much his best friend had loved the chilly country.
But Dustin just smirked and tapped his lips shaking his head "Tell ya when we get to the hotel kay" he said with such an innocence that Blake had to do a double take and make sure this wasn't the Dustin he had fought side by side next to when they were still teenagers and still a little naive and instead was the hot sexy photographer who had seduced him in an Italian bar only to make him forget all his problems in love for a whole month.
"Fine but you better tell me everything" Blake said laughing before launching into a spiel about a race he knew Dustin hadn't heard about yet-his final qualifier for the finals that were in two days.
The earth ninja listened with rapt attention that reminded Blake that the other man was just as much in love with motocross as he was and while he had decided not to take his own skill up as a career which Blake knew that Dustin could have done with no problem at all considering that Free-Air had tried to sign him many times the year after he had helped destroy Lothor and send him into the Abyss of Evil. Instead Dustin had taken up a skill that he hadn't told anyone he was truly passionate about and had become successful all on his own which allowed him to travel the world and enjoy life in a way he hadn't been able to when he was a sensei at the Wind Academy.
"Here you go" The cab driver announced as he pulled up into the parking lot of a flashy hotel that was just as expensive as it looked maybe more. Dustin quickly threw a fifty dollar bill at him and the wink at him before telling him to keep the change-something that shocked the driver but made him extremely happy. "Thanks kid"
Dustin nodded and then helped Blake with the bags as they moved inside to check in at the counter to the rooms that both their companies had pre booked for them before they had arrived. The receptionist had stared at Dustin for a good five minutes before he shook his head and realized that he had a job to do and shyly gave them their key cards before wishing them a good stay which in return got him a kind beaming smile from Dustin which had him turning bright red from his hairline down.
Slinging his arm around Blake's shoulder Dustin lead the two of them towards the elevator all the while laughing at how cute the nineteen year old at the front desk had been and that he really didn't understand what all the fuss was about, that was until Blake told him he looked like he belonged to a boy band with his hair. "Really" Dustin said blinking owlishly and then turned to stare at his reflection in the reflective metal of the elevator they were standing in "I never thought of that: the guys in Russia thought I looked cool so I just kept it" he said shrugging before lounging against the hand rail.
Blake noted the subtle shift in body language and let his smile turn slightly heated as his gaze turn heavy as he looked the other up and down taking in all the minor changes Dustin had under gone in the time that they had been apart. One of the best things about his little thing he had going with Dustin was that the two of them flicked on their interest literally like it was a switch, there was no build-up of tension or anything of the like it was just the two of them talking and then the next moment one of them would give the other a heated look and then they would be wrapped up with the other.
"Come here" Blake commanded softly making Dustin smirk in a way that had the elder ninja's knees shaking slightly at the passion that flowed through his body making his breath turn slightly heavy.
The earth ninja crossed the small space they were enclosed in and pressed him right against the metal of the elevator and leant down and pressed a white hot kiss against his throat making a small moan break out of his lips. It had been so long: he hadn't had a release since Italy and that was just going to make this all the sweeter in his opinion. Snarling low in his throat the navy ranger pulled Dustin up by his now blonde strains of hair and crashed their lips together kissing the other ranger passionately trying to convey just how much he needed the other boy.
Dustin seemed to get the message because he returned the kiss just as hungrily twisting a hand into the hair at the back of his head and pressing against him fully, his body scorching and hot against Blake in way that reminded the other ninja just what he had been missing for the last few months. The other boys touch set him on fire and Blake was so lost in his haze of passion and heat that he didn't hear the ding of the elevator doors opening or the gasp that broke through the on lookers mouth: what he did hear though was his name being called by a very familiar female voice.
"Blake!" Tori screamed making Blake tear his lips away from Dustin's and turn his gaze to the left where Tori, Cam, Hunter and Shane were standing and gazing at him in shock.
Hunter turned to the guy that had been wrapped around his brother and gasped himself when he found himself gazing into two very familiar amber eyes that were darkened with lust: "Dustin!"
The earth ninja cleared his throat nervously and took a step away from his casual lover and then waved weakly "Ah…hi guys"
