Of Anime, Poetry and Falling in Love: Mack and Rose

Disclaimer: This is getting quite boring…

Challenge: Worst Case Scenario

Timeframe: Post Heart of Blue

Summary: In which Mack thinks about Will and Rose's relationship.

He sat in his room, taking out his fury on the pillow. He glared at the red walls and the anime posters decorating them, as if it were their fault he was so furious. He punched the pillow in its red case for the fiftieth time, his bright blue eyes still narrowed.

Will was trying to steal Rose right out from under his nose. The hands on her shoulders, all possessively, if you asked Mack, the smug smile on the black ranger's face as Rose didn't pull away…all of it added up to one horrible scenario: Will and Rose had something going on.

Mack hated it. He wanted to be the one who had a secret relationship with Rose; he wanted to be the one who held her. He wanted to be the one she leaned on, and in return he wanted to be able to lean on her. He wanted Rose Ortiz, end of story.

But if Will was the one who made Rose happy…he wanted Rose to be happy…

He still couldn't help but think he'd never hated a situation more than this one.
