Pink Roses
#17: Kiss her unexpectedly.
"I can't believe how stupid you are."
Mack hadn't been aware of the pink ranger's presence in his room until then. He opened his mouth, ready to give his ready-made answer of not being as important as the other rangers…as her. Before he could talk, however, Rose had started again.
"You're feeling sorry for yourself. That's not the Mack that I know and lo- respect. That's not who you are. Tell me, Mack, do you pull these crazy stunts for attention or something? A volcano. That's got to be the stupidest thing you've ever done. No one's ever implied that you weren't as important as the rest of us…no one except you."
"Rose…"
"I hate you!"
He stood up very slowly and moved to stand in front of his petite pink teammate, looking down at her. She met his gaze with her own unwavering brown one, glaring up at him.
He smashed his lips against hers.
Mack had memories of kissing a girl or two before, but they, along with everything else, were false. This was the first kiss he'd had since discovering the truth about himself, and he wondered how Rose would feel about having a robot kiss her. She seemed to respond warmly enough.
It lasted for sometime, until Rose had to pull away and catch her breath. "Still hate me?" Mack whispered, smirking slightly.
"Definitely," Rose whispered back, reaching up to kiss him again.
