Okay, me back, and this is a possible conclusion but a possible almost ending chapter. I might go on with this but you'll have to read the note at the end. So…on we go. By the way, I don't own any of this.

Good or Bad?

"Morning." The brunette mumbled to the pro-racer. Hunter just shook his head at him, smirking as usual. Dustin wasn't sure if he could read anything from Blake's welcoming. Had Hunter told him? Had Blake figured it out? "So, what's happening?" Dustin asked, sitting down at the breakfast table. Hunter put the scrambled eggs in front of Dustin and the brunette dug in. Blake laughed.

"Nothing much. I'm meeting up with Tori later, you guys can have the place to yourselves." Blake said with a laugh and a nudge at Hunter. Dustin just watched as Hunter nudged Blake back, followed by the younger brother punching the elder on the arm which caused a full out brawl on the kitchen floor. Dustin shook his head, laughing while he ate. Seemed like Blake was okay with the situation. Dustin thought mildly about what the others would think. Cam wouldn't judge, Tori would probably be slightly upset, she was forever trying to set him up with her friends. Dustin didn't think Shane or Sensei would say anything. Marah had already guessed but promised to keep quiet, which wasn't too difficult since she and Kapri had given up on the ninja stuff and decided to become models; surprisingly good ones too. Dustin shrugged; things might actually be fine if they told the others. But were he and Hunter ready to tell the others?

Shane sat on the curb at the skate-park, he had spent the entire morning skating, it was his way of chilling out now. A strong hand clamped down on his shoulder and Shane almost flipped whoever it was that grabbed him.

"Whoa there bro, it's just me." Shane let go of Blake's wrist before he broke the slighter mans wrist. "Thanks. Remind me never to sneak up on you." Blake rubbed his wrist, laughing slightly. Tori came and sat beside Shane, Blake planting himself on Shane's other side.

"So, what's up?" Tori asked, looking at the former red ranger, her head resting on her knees.

"Nothing much. I was just thinking." Shane answered, looking at the skate ramp. "What are you guys doing here? Thought you had some big date." Tori smiled at him.

"Yeah, we do. We just wanted to stop by and tell you that Hunter's back." Shane was surprised.

"I thought he was teaching at the Thunder Academy." Tori shrugged but Blake smirked.

"Yeah, I figure he realised what he was missing." Both Tori and Shane looked at Blake, expecting him to continue, to elaborate on what he meant. "What?"

"Gonna explain that one to us, bro?" Shane asked, indicating to himself and Tori.

"Nah man, not my place." Blake said, picking up a few stones before juggling them for a moment. "Hey, you wanna come hang out before we head off? Maybe see if Cam wants to do something?" Blake asked, he and Tori weren't going on their date to the movies until later that night, so it only made sense that they hang out. Shane shrugged.

"Sure, why not? Maybe Tori and I can badger you enough to tell us what you meant about Hunter being back." Once more Blake just smirked, this could be fun. Depending on how long Hunter and Dustin kept their relationship quiet.

Cam just stared at Dustin; Hunter sat on the floor laughing quietly.

"Dustin, what you just said to me held no logic or sense in any form. I'm not sure even Hunter could understand that." Cam looked at the Crimson ranger, but Hunter was too busy laughing on the floor. Dustin looked at his blonde friend; the red bush on his cheeks turning from embarrassed to angry.

"Hunter, maybe you could help?" Dustin said, folding his arms over his chest. The blonde didn't stop laughing though, if anything he laughed harder. He was actually laughing so hard he was crying. Cam shook his head.

"Maybe if you say it slower?" Cam reasoned, hoping that maybe he could calm Dustin down before he did something to damage Hunter's health.

"No. It doesn't matter." Dustin sulked. Hunter sobered slightly.

"What Dustin was trying to say, in some jumbled code only he can understand, is that he and I are…sort of…kinda…going out." Hunter said, scratching the back of his head. Although he wasn't half as embarrassed as Dustin he still had the decency to seem slightly agitated. "We haven't told anyone, but Blake knows, and we were just thinking that you were the most open minded of the gang so we'd tell you and see what we had to expect from the others." Hunter said, a small almost innocent smile that just made the blonde look adorable, Cam shook his head. No wonder Dustin fell for this male.

"Well, if your looking for a negative reaction you can stop looking at me. I don't plan on doing anything." Cam said, turning back to his computer. Dustin looked at Hunter, the blonde still smiling.

"How do you do that?" Hunter frowned, patting the floor for Dustin to sit down beside him.

"Do what?"

"Say it like it's no big deal." Dustin sighed, resting his head against Hunter's shoulder. Cam saw the display out of the corner of his eye, smiling at the Wind ninja and the Thunder ninja. The looked good together, very good together.
"Because I don't worry as much as you." Hunter replied, his hand tracing small circles on Dustin's back. "They'll have to live with our decision, if they don't get it at first then they'll just have to come around later." Hunter kissed the top of Dustin's head softly. "Don't stress babe, they'll be cool with it." Cam heard Dustin's sigh of contentment, smiling to himself he went back to working on his new project.

"No way, the Godfather trilogy is way better than the Terminator one." Blake's voice carried down the hall into the Ninja Ops main room. Tori laughter following it shortly.
"Come on, how can you say that?" Clearly Shane was opposed to the Godfather claiming the crown of all trilogies. "Terminator was the best, Arnie going back three times with that awesome leather jacket."

"Hey man, with me family matters. The Godfather kept it in the family." Blake countered.

"Tori, who do you thinks right?" The blond held her hands up.

"Oh no, I'm not getting involved. Shane, your one of my best friends, and Blake you're my boyfriend. No way am I being pulled into this." Cam turned as the trio entered.

"Could you guys keep it down?" Cam asked.

"Is sensei meditating?" Shane asked, but to answer his question sensei appeared from the kitchen, a glass of water in his hand.

"No, but now that they have finally fallen asleep, Cam and I would like it to stay that way." Sensei said, indicating to the small sofa at the far end of the room. Blake, Tori and Shane looked over, thinking they would find Marah and Kapri dozing but were shocked to see Hunter lying on the sofa with Dustin snuggled in on his chest. Blake just shook his head, wondering why he hadn't noticed the whole thing sooner than he had that morning. Tori and Shane however were speechless.

"Um, is there something we should know?" She asked, turning to face Cam and Sensei. It was Blake who spoke.

"I don't know if it my place, but Hunter and Dustin were planning on telling you guys anyway." Blake crossed his arms over his chest, a motion that everyone was used to by now. "Hunter and Dustin are with each other, like boyfriend and boyfriend." He shrugged. "As far as I can tell they have been for a while, although I only found out this morning." Cam stood behind Blake.

"They were waiting for you three to get here, but you took too long and…" his eyes drifted to the two sleeping forms on the sofa, "they just sparred themselves to exhaustion." Cam shrugged.

"So, Hunter and Dustin are…" Shane trailed off, causing Tori to frown.

"They're gay, Shane. That's the word you want. Gay." Shane nodded slowly.

"Sorry, it's just…never pegged them for swinging that way." Tori just shrugged with a smile.

"Hunter was never the most open person. And I suppose Dustin never really mentioned not being gay." Tori thought it over. "In fact, the only girl I've ever really seen him with was Marah." Shane pulled a face.

"If it's between Marah and Hunter, I'm glad it's Hunter." Shane held up his hands quickly to Cam. "No offence, but I don't think I could stand your cousins being around twenty-four seven." Cam shrugged.

"I can't stand them being around, why on earth would you?"

"Dudes, shut up. Sleeping here." Hunter's voice called quietly from the sofa.

"Sorry bro, were we loud?" Blake asked, looking back over at his brother and Dustin.

"Nah, I'm just a light sleeper." Hunter yawned before noticing that Dustin was lying on his chest, a happy little smile playing across his soft lips. "Oh, um…hey." Tori and Blake laughed while Cam shook his head. "So…did Cam tell you?" Hunter asked, a small nervous tone coming into his voice.

"Yeah, and don't worry. We're cool. Right Shane?" Tori said, elbowing the dark skinned male.

"Oh, yeah, totally. Why wouldn't we be?" Shane stammered. Hunter frowned but never said anything. He shrugged a little, but not enough to disturb the sleeping beauty in his arms.

"Thanks guys." Tori grinned at him.

"You two look cute." Blake raised his eyebrows at his girlfriend.

"You have a Yaio thing I should know about?" Tori blushed.

"NO! I just said, that Hunter and Dustin make a cute couple. It's not like I meant that…I was just…Blake!" The Navy Thunder ranger laughed, Tori hitting his shoulder playfully. Cam shook his head at the childishness of their actions before turning away. Hunter had long since tuned out from what was going on. Focusing his attention on Dustin, lying on his chest, his cheek pressed against the fabric of Hunter's crimson and grey t-shirt. Hunter linked his hands around Dustin's waist, closing his eyes and just enjoying the feeling of being there, with Dustin, not hiding things from the others.

But Hunter didn't see the strange look in Shane's eyes. The confusion that the red Wind ninja was going through. Or that flash of jealousy that washed over him when Hunter kissed Dustin's head softly.

AN: Okay. This is like the perfect place to leave this. Because…you decide whether or not I continue this. I've already got plans so it would be a hassle to go with it but I need your opinion on it. Is it worth it and if so, any ideas on why Shane's jealous?

I have a few but I want to know what you guys would prefer. Please review, cause that's like the whole point of this right?
