A day later, Hunter had to go to see Jesse for a check-up.

" That looks good but no fighting. You already fought once. If I hear you do it again, I make Dustin tie you up to the bed." Jesse warned.

" I'd love to see that." Hunter grinned.

" I didn't mean it like that." Jesse said, blushing a bit.

" I know. But about that no fighting, the others need me in battle."

" There are five of them, they'll be fine and they can handle it." Jesse replied. Hunter sighed.

" Can I at least go back to work?" he whined. Jesse rolled his eyes.

" That you may but no hard work." he warned.

" Okay, thanks Jesse."

" Aah, finally you're using my name." Jesse said. Hunter laughed.

" See you around." he replied, leaving. Hunter drove back to his and Blake's apartment. Hunter walked inside and walked to the living room.

" Hey bro, Tor." he greeted.

" Hey, aren't you going over to Dustin's?" Blake asked.

" Nah, Shane's gonna teach Dustin some skateboarding. I can feel it, he's gonna get hurt." Hunter said, sitting down. Dustin was clumsy, to clumsy sometimes which worried him. Even in battle, Dustin couldn't seem to handle it sometimes.

" Don't worry. Shane's there if something happens and Cam probably went with them." Tori soothed.

" I give it an hour."

" Bro, have a little faith." Blake said. That was one of the things that bothered him about Hunter. He knew Hunter loved Dustin but he didn't have much faith in Dustin although Dustin was capable of handling things just fine. Okay, Dustin had his periods where he managed to trash everything he held or just hurt himself but Dustin was a good fighter. That couldn't be denied. Hunter just didn't see that. He was to overprotective in battle.

" You know Dustin. I wonder how he manages to keep his balance on a bike." Hunter shot back.

" He's a good racer. Don't underestimate him." Blake reasoned.

" You're gonna see, an hour." Hunter said again, crossing his arms. Tori rolled her eyes.

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang and Blake went to answer it. A second later, Dustin limped in, supported by Shane.

" Told you so." Hunter muttered, standing up so Dustin could sit down.

" What happened?" Hunter asked.

" A trick went wrong, I twisted my ankle." Dustin replied.

" And before that he tried to skate up a ramp but that didn't work out like planned and he fell hard which explains the hole in his jeans and the blood on his knee." Shane added.

" Don't forget when he fell on his butt because he couldn't keep his balance." Cam finished. Hunter shook his head and walked to the kitchen to get an ice bag for his ankle, a bowl of water to clean out the wound and a bandage to wrap around it. He kneeled down in front of Dustin.

" Take of your pants." Hunter ordered.

" With everyone here? Now way, man!" Dustin said.

" Dustin!" Hunter snapped. He knew this was gonna happen, lucky it wasn't as bad as he thought. Dustin stood up and reluctantly removed his pants before sitting back down. There was an icy silence between the two as Hunter cleaned up the wound. Then he wrapped the bandage around his knee and pushed the ice bag on his ankle.

" Don't move." He ordered. The others exchanged a look at the silence. Dustin was glaring at Hunter who was just glaring back. Blake knew Hunter made a stupid move now so he grabbed Hunter's arm and pulled him to the kitchen.

" What tell where you thinking?" Blake spat out.

" What do you mean?" Hunter asked.

" Why are you being so rude to him?"

" Am not." Hunter denied.

" You ordered him to take off his pants in front of us while he didn't want to." Blake exclaimed.

" Okay, I might've been a little rude." Hunter gave in, crossing his arms.

" A little?" Blake shot back. Hunter glared.

" Don't push it." He said. " it's just I could've seen this coming." He added frustrated.

" Yeah but supporting him a bit doesn't hurt." Blake told. Hunter though about it. Blake was right of course. He should support Dustin. If Dustin wanted to skateboard that was his choice and besides Dustin always supported him no matter what stupid idea he had this time.

" Yeah, you're right." Hunter said.

" Good, now go make up before he hates you completely." Blake told, pushing him back in the living room. Blake walked over to the others with a smile, letting them know he got through to his stubborn and sometimes idiotic brother. They started a chat so that it wouldn't seem they were spying on Hunter and Dustin which was of course what they were doing.

Hunter sat on the couch next to Dustin and laid his arm around Dustin's shoulder. Dustin pretty much ignored him and Hunter couldn't blame him.

" Do you wanna borrow one of my pants?" Hunter asked. Now Dustin looked at him, eyes harsh but Hunter also could detect the hurt he caused.

" Sure." Hunter ran off to his room to search a pants that would fit Dustin. Now he realised he really hurt Dustin by his actions. Of all times, this definitely wasn't the time to act like this. Next time, he better think twice before he does or say something. Finally he found a pants, after throwing whole his closet onto the bed, and returned to the living room, handing Dustin the pants. Dustin grabbed the pants and stood up, attempting to pull it on but from the moment he put pressure on his injured foot, pain shot through his body. Hunter helped him. Dustin sat back down and put the ice on his foot. Hunter shot a desperate look at Blake who shrugged. Shane motioned him to come over.

" What?" he asked.

" I'll talk to him. See what's bothering him." Shane offered. " You stay here." Hunter nodded. Shane sat down on the couch next to Dustin.

" Are you mad at Hunter?" he asked.

" Yeah, he had no right to order me to take my pants off. Not after everything that has happened." Dustin replied, shooting a glare in Hunter's direction.

" True, but he had to take care of your wound." Shane replied, trying to get a good reaction from Dustin.

" Yeah… well, he could've taken me to the bathroom… or something." Dustin shot back.

" Do you have a problem with us seeing you in your boxers? Come one, I've seen you naked before." Shane tried.

" I was like 14 then and that was after a training. Besides a lot has changed since then." Dustin said, realising a bit to late how that sounded. Shane laughed. " Shane, I didn't mean it like that."

" I know you didn't. What about last year? You were taking a shower after one of your races and I came in." Shane replied.

" Yes but I pretty much ignored you for a week after that." Dustin said. Shane nodded. Dustin had ignored him after yelling something that sounded like privacy.

" Look, Hunter was just worried." Shane said.

" Nice way to show it." Dustin said, voice dripping with sarcasm. Shane sighed. Just as he was about to say something, his morpher beeped.

" Yeah?"

" Ugly-faced monster on the beach along with some of his playmates." Cyber-Cam replied.

" On it." Shane said.

" Dustin, you're not going anywhere with that twisted ankle." Cam said as Dustin made a move to get up. Dustin nodded and sank back in the couch. " Hunter, you're staying, too. You know what the doctor said, no fighting."

" Bro, apologise to him." Blake suggested before streaking off with the others to stop the monster and kelzacks. Hunter sat back down next to Dustin who was ignoring him again.

" I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have done that." Hunter said.

" You know what your problem is? You never support me." Dustin said.

" What? I support you." Hunter replied, not liking where this was heading.

" No, you don't. This morning you said skateboarding wasn't a good idea because I would get hurt. A while ago, you said I shouldn't do motor-cross because I would get hurt."

" You got hurt." Hunter exclaimed.

" Yeah… but that's not the point. You could've supported e a little. Wish me good luck!" Dustin yelled, pretty much losing his temper. It had bugged him for a while but he never brought it up, afraid of Hunter's reaction but now it was getting to much for him and yelling at Hunter was helping.

" I do support you and I said that because I was worried." Hunter said as calm as possible, knowing yelling back would likely make things worse then they already were.

" Worried? God damnit, it doesn't mean that I get hurt once in a while that I can't do anything!" Dustin snapped.

" I didn't say that." Hunter defended himself.

" But you mean it. Even when we're fighting you constantly take over my kelzacks while I'm perfectly capable of handling them alone!" Dustin said, crossing his arms and glaring at Hunter.

" I don't want you to get hurt!" Hunter yelled, coming to the conclusion calm wasn't working.

" That's the problem! Try trusting and supporting me!" Cam Dustin's angry response.

" I do and I though you knew me better then that." Hunter said once again calm but sounding hurt. He walked out and firmly slammed the door shut. Dustin sighed and closed his eyes. A couple of minutes later, the others returned.

" Where's Hunter?" Blake asked.

" We had a fight., he ran out. He always does that! Instead of staying, he makes things worse." Dustin said frustrated.

" That's my bro. He's never been good at talking about his feelings." Blake said shaking his head. Dustin stood up forgetting about his foot.

" Well, I don't need him or his stupid pants." Dustin angry said, stripping of the pants. "I'm going home." He announced when calmed down a bit.

" In your boxers?" Shane asked. Dustin looked down.

" Right. Blake?" he asked pleading. Dustin laughed.

" I'll be right back." Blake returned with a pants which Dustin put on and ,after saying goodbye, left.

" I'm going." Cam said.

" Me too. Keep us informed on this development." Shane added. Blake and Tori nodded. Half an hour later, Hunter re-entered.

" Where's Dustin? I need to talk to him." Hunter said.

" He left." Blake replied.

" In his boxers?" Hunter asked, noticing his pants on the couch. Blake smiled.

" No, he borrowed one of mine."

" Okay, well I'm going to his place. Me and my big mouth." Hunter mumbled, storming out.

" At least, he knows he's been stupid." Blake rolled his eyes.

" Yeah. And they'll figure it out… they always do." Tori grinned and leaned forward to kiss Blake who hoped Hunter was gonna stay at Dustin's or else…

Okay, this chapter was completely useless. I still have to figure out what exactly the connection is between this and my story. –frowns- anyway, one more chapter to come after this.
