I have written one for every ranger, but Dustin. I will try to write one
if anyone requests.
Chapter 7: Uncertainty & Affirmations
Hunter parked his truck in the driveway of the house that he and Blake shared. He unlocked the door and as he entered the kitchen to grab a quick drink of water he noticed a figure laying on the couch in the living room. "Hey, you're still up bro?"
Blake was staring at the TV, but wasn't really paying attention to the show that was on. "Oh hey Hunter, yeah, I'm still up. Where have you been?"
Hunter went to grab his water and sat next to Blake on the couch. "I was over at Dustin and Shane's place, then I went riding for a bit. So, what's keeping you up?"
"I don't know man, nerves maybe. I'm leaving tomorrow (AN: remember it's like 1:00 am) and I am totally psyched about riding, but I guess I'm also going to miss it here."
Hunter placed an arm around Blake's shoulder and told him, "Bro, just enjoy this opportunity that you have been given and everything else will fall into place."
Blake looked up at his brother and agreed. "I guess I am little worried about Dustin and Tori too."
Hunter had to stifle a chuckle since he promised Tori that he wouldn't say anything to his brother. "Blake, you have nothing to worry about. They're like brother and sister. They have known each other since they were like four."
"I guess, you're right bro. I'm just being stupid. Well, I'm going to bed. I am taking Tori out for a picnic dinner at the beach tomorrow after she's done with teaching her class at the academy. Night Hunter."
"Night, Blake." Hunter then got up and placed his water bottle in the trash and headed for bed also.
~*~*Later that evening~*~*
Everyone was in Ninja Ops as usual. It was Friday night and everyone was talking about what they were doing for the evening. Dustin, Shane and Hunter were going to have a movie night at Dustin and Shane's place. Blake and Tori had a romantic evening planned and Cam claimed that he had to meet someone again in a chat room.
"So, who's this mysterious chat room buddy?" Shane asked Cam.
"Nobody you know." Cam stated. It wasn't a complete lie. They have seen Leann, but they didn't really know her.
"Whatever, let's go dudes," Shane retorted. Then Shane, Dustin and Hunter left. Tori patted Cam on the back then her and Blake left as well. Blake and Tori were at the beach again, but this time they were having a picnic dinner this evening. Tori had packed some chicken alfedo, double layer chocolate cake and some cans of sodas. The two sat and ate in a comfortable silence. They were both content to just be in each other's company. After they finished eating the two set out for a little stroll near the water. Tori removed her sandals and Blake removed his shoes and rolled up his pants a little. There was a light breeze and the stars shone bright.
"It's a beautiful tonight, isn't it?" Tori asked Blake, breaking him out of his thoughts.
"Yes, it is, but you are the most beautiful thing out here tonight." He responded as he blushed a little from trying to smooth talk her.
"Oh, Blake you are too sweet," she said as she stopped and stared straight into his deep chocolate brown eyes. Something about them were hypnotic. The two leaned in closer until their lips met.
"Wow," was all the two could get out before they settled down on the sand for a very heated make out session.
Sometime later, the two decided to pack up their stuff and get ready to go. Blake's flight was leaving early the next morning. As Tori pulled into the driveway of Blake's house an idea struck him, "Tori, why don't you come in for a minute?"
"Are you sure Blake, isn't Hunter home?" Tori asked.
"No, his truck is not in the driveway."
"Okay, but I am not staying long."
The two went in. Blake led her to his room. Tori had been there before, but she never had been upstairs. 'I wonder what is so interesting upstairs?' She thought to herself.
"This is my room", Blake said breaking her from her thoughts.
The room was rather large with a queen size bed adorned in blue sheets and comforter. There was a desk with a computer on it, a TV on a stand complete with a DVD/VCR combo and a Playstation 2. Then there was bookcase complete with trophies, certificates and pictures. Blake shut the door and on the back of it was his ninja uniform. Tori walked over to it and ran her hand over the blue lines on it. She really was going to miss him.
"So, who will be your sparring partner now?" He asked Tori to break the silence.
"Well, there's always Cam, Dustin and Shane. If I really want a challenge, I guess there is always Hunter. After all, you two are Thunder Ninjas and you both fight similarly.
"Yeah, that's true. I guess I'll have to spar with my shadow in between practices and races for now." He chuckled at the idea. It was going to be weird to not have anyone around to spar with for a while. "Hey Tor, I have something that I want you to hold onto while I am gone." He went towards his closet and pulled out a thin black bag. In it contained his Thunder Blade. He walked over to Tori and handed it to her.
"What? Why are you giving this to me? Shouldn't you leave it with Hunter?" She replied with shock apparent in her eyes.
"I guess, but I want you to hold on to it because ever since that day you saw me with Leann, I saw how much you really cared about me. You were also the only one who never doubted my abilities to do anything. I love you Tori and because of you I know that I can do anything."
Tori thought she was about to cry. "I love you too!" She replied in return. She placed the blade down on the desk beside her and went over to his awaiting arms.
"Stay here tonight Tor." Blake begged with his pleading brown eyes.
Tori couldn't resist him and the two shared a passionate kiss. The kiss was different this time, it sparked something in them that they had not felt with anyone else before. Blake started to kiss her neck making her moan with pleasure. Tori's hands roamed around his back. Blake led her to his bed and the two continued to explore each other until the need for more became too much. "Tor, do you want me to stop?" He asked he, silently praying that she would not say, "Yes."
"No, Blake. I think I want this as much as you do." She whispered in his ears, which caused him to shiver.
The two continued and then they both shed off their clothing--
Tonight they gave into their most wanted desires, as they were each other's firsts. After several love making sessions, the two finally gave in and fell asleep in each other's arms. This more than anything reaffirmed that they would try their best to make their soon to be long distance relationship work, for their love seemed to run deep.
