"Dude! What about us?"

The not so original but always needed DISCLAIMER

I don't own any of the characters here presented and/or any of the Power Rangers Ninja Storm stuff, that is property of SABAN and DISNEY, not mine (I wish they were, but...)

Also, If you don't like male/male relationship don't even go further because that's all you're gonna find. One more thing, the sexuality of any of the actors here implied is not of my concern and this is just a FICTION product.

Chapter 15

Together

In the past night, Evan was attacked by his friend, the yellow ranger. They all returned to home and left a calmed Dustin in the hospital. At 9 o'clock, Cam called all the rangers to meet at the Lobby of the Hospital. He had the cure for the poison of Dustin, so he decided to bring it to all of them. Since Shane was helping him over, there was no problem at all. He did contact with Hunter, Blake and Tori were next in the line.

At 10 they all were there, in the lobby, but not Evan and Hunter. Blake thought that his brother was there, because Tori lied to him saying that. The real truth was that Evan and Hunter were in his place, having some sweet dreams. Blake was beginning to freak out once that Tori told him that Evan stayed with him, but then controlled once he knew how Evan handled the things last night in his home.

So, at least, all of them were having some peace. And the only subjects left for the dose were Dustin's parents, Evan, and Hunter.

The Brooks had no problem to be found, since Shane called them spreading the news about Dustin and his recovery. They came like two or three hours late. And once they did, it was easy for the rangers to make them had the dose, in a simply bottle of water.

Hunter in the other hand was taking a shower, and Evan was awake. Remembering how were the things in his first time. Evan also remembered how many times Dustin begged him to take this a little far, since they were now something more than friends.

At the same time, Shane, the red one, was talking with Dustin, now awake and fully aware of what he did.

"I'm sorry" apologized Dustin "For all what I did last night"

"It's ok bro" said Shane to him

"It's just... I can't believe he shot me. I can't believe he cheated on me, after all we had..."

"I know, relax a little!"

"I can't man! Imagine that a girl that you love so much is cheating on you and then backstab you!"

Dustin lied to him. He knew that Shane was having something with Cam, but right now, he wasn't in the topic.

"Easy, easy, I'm sure there is a reason for what he did, if he really did..."

"Wha... what you're saying?"

"That maybe he wasn't the one who cheated on you, or the one who shot ya"

"That's nonsense!" Said Dustin, waving his arms around, and with a frown in his face "I saw everything!"

"Yep, I did too, bro. But as far as I know he has a twin, right?"

"How'd you know that?"

"A little crimson bird told us..."

"Did he?... Man! I told him that"

"He did because he saw you in danger" He interrupted him

"What? Danger?"

"Yes Dustin! Danger" yell his friend "What you've been doing all along it's to screw him, come on! He's a good guy! I dunno why you act that way last night, but believe me, he doesn't deserve it"

"What you want me to do? Huh?"

"I dunno, but yelling is not the solution"

"Either shooting at your boyfriend!"

"C'mon! How'd you know he was the one who shot ya?"

"Because I saw his face aiming me with a freaking gun!"

"Man! Maybe it was his twin... did you hear him talk?"

"Nope, but that doesn't mean..."

Shane interrupted him "C'mon! We all know that his twin barely talks English! If you didn't heard him maybe it was him"

"Yeah, but why if he wants us to believe that?"

"Ow.... Man! Why you keep doing that!"

"Keep doin' what?"

"That! I tell you a reason and you blow it, tell you another and blow it!..." Shane stopped, and then turned to the door, which was right to the bed "Then fine Dustin! If you keep doin' that, fine! But if that's what you believe then, I can't help you, in fact, no one can! No matter how good are their points, if you believe that he shot you, no matter what we said, nothing is going to make you think the contrary!"

And Shane was just ready to leave, when Dustin muttered something

"I want to... really. I want to believe in him, but it's so difficult. Man! They tricked me once, remember? With Marah?"

Shane then turned to his friend. He sat in the edge of his bed.

"I know it's difficult, but you haven't heard his story, do you?"

"Nope... He might be with that guy who kissed him in front of me"

"Or maybe he's here"

When Shane said that, both guys turned to see the doorstep. It was Evan, and Shane noticed of it.

"I leave you two to fix your problems... And Dustin, don't try to kill my buddy here. Ok?" Said Shane trying to leave the place.

When he was just crossing, he patted Evan in the back. It was a confidence sign.

"Dustin... Can I talk with you?"

"You can talk but I maybe I won't hear whatever you have to say"

"Then, I just spill it... don't care if you hear me or not"

Evan took a long breath and began with his speech.

"I'm sorry for what I did. In fact, I'm here just to tell you that it wasn't my fault. I didn't kiss that dude; he was the one who kissed me"

"Yeah, yeah..."

"Dustin, please... I'm telling you the truth" said Evan, with a low voice and with his heart in his hands "He was the one who started everything"

"But you didn't seem to stop him"

"You might not remember, but I beat him when he did that. You saw it"

"Yes I did..."

"So... why didn't you trust me?"

"I trust you. In fact, I couldn't stop trusting you"

"Then why you blamed me of shooting ya?"

"Dude! I saw you! I saw you wielding that shotgun at me! I saw you pointing me!"

"I wasn't even near! When you yell at me in the street, after the kiss... I ran away"

"Then who was?"

"I have this weird theory that I'm sure you won't believe..."

"Twins, right?"

"How...?"

"Shane told me the same just a minute ago. And I think the same, because, last night I was here, trying to sleep and I saw a shadow, in fact a silhouette, of you"

"But...?"

"But I'm sure it wasn't yours. I mean, it had your height and I could see that it might be you, but it wasn't! It was somebody else... and besides, before the others leave me, Hunter told me he will take you home"

"So..."

Dustin just watched his friend. He was wearing the same clothes that wore yesterday, when he saw him, and the same clothes he was wearing when some other guy stepped in Storm Chargers and started teasing him. This other guy told him that if he didn't came with him to a date, he would be spiting out all what he knew of Evan. Of course, Evan had no other choice, and he said to wait him at the exit. Once there, the other guy took him and kissed him. All the others saw it, Dustin included, and he... he just ran.

The reaction of Evan was to hit him, but what Dustin did was to yell him in the middle of the street. They were like fighting, but then Evan just ran away. The yellow one couldn't stop calling him cheater, and he was mad. Evan preferred to walk off instead of hearing him.

Then it all happened.

Dustin, this one, the one laying in the bed, called him. He placed his hand in the bed, and then, he just made circles in it. He was calling him to come with him, and Evan didn't hesitate.

Once that Evan approached, Dustin embraced him. He was holding him, again, Evan's head rested in his lover chest and his hair touched Dustin's chin. He was embracing Dustin and the same happened with him.

"Remember when we used to be like this? It feels like yesterday!" Said Dustin

"Dude, it was yesterday, well, the night before yesterday"

"Sorry for all the fuzz and the noise. I didn't mean to hurt you, I was just... I felt so much pain and it all sudden came up as rage"

Evan then kissed him. Softly and carefully.

"I took the dose before, so don't worry for the poison"

"What poison?"

"Oh really! You didn't know the story... ok, this is the zillionth time I tell it"
