Disclaimer: I do not own the Mighty Ducks.

Summary: I know this has been done a million times, but I got inspired by the RPG I'm a part of (edenhall on LJ) and decided to write my take on the Bash Brothers' relationship. It's my first Mighty Ducks fic, so please let me know what you think (even if you think it sucks)!

A/N: Thank you to anyone who reviewed! Just a couple of little notes:

Meme: Don't worry, I won' t make you cry, lol! Portman isn't going to fall in love with Kenny. Thank you:)

Penman Specialist: The RP is on Livejournal. Thank you:)

Thank you also to zshp1411 & urbanCOWGiRLiEE for reviewing. I hope you like this next chapter too.

Chapter 2

'Where are you going?' Portman asked.

Turning slowly, Fulton answered, 'Anywhere on the other side of this thing,' as he gestured to the door.

'You can't just kiss me then leave you know. Its not fair.' Portman retorted, rolling his eyes.

Looking away, Fulton started to respond, 'Look, I just don't want to get my ass kicked, that's…' he paused 'not fair?' He questioned, looking at Portman again.

'Yeah. Not fair.' Portman replied, stepping closer to Fulton and kissing him hard on the lips. He broke away, slightly breathless. 'Still think I'm gonna kick your ass?'

Fulton looked slightly shocked, then a slow grin formed across his lips. 'I hope not.'

'I'm definitely not gonna.' Portman grinned too.

'So…what are we gonna do?' Fulton asked almost nervously.

'About what?' Portman replied, a little confused.

'Well…about us, I mean, is there even going to be an 'us' to do something about?' Fulton answered, looking at Portman hopefully.

'Do you want there to be an 'us'?' asked Portman

'Of course I do,' Fulton answered, smiling as he cautiously took Portman's hand.

'Then I guess there's going to be an 'us'' Portman replied, kissing Fulton softly. This time Fulton kissed back and they shared their first proper kiss.

Breaking away, Fulton looked worriedly at Portman, 'What do we tell the others?'

'How about we don't tell them anything for a little while? I don't know about you, but I'd kinda like to get my head around this before we go public', Portman replied as he gently pulled Fulton away from the door to sit down on the closest bed.

Nodding, Fulton agreed as he was pulled down onto the bed. 'Yeah, I think you might be right. I'm kind of in shock actually', he grinned sheepishly. 'I didn't think you'd talk to me again, let alone kiss me back.'

'I never thought you'd kiss me at all! I always thought you were into girls.' Portman replied, smiling. 'When did you, um, when did you know you liked me?'

'I've had a crush on you since I first met you. I think that was rather a big sign.' Fulton answered, laughing.

'Hm, yeah, I'd say so!' Portman laughed too.

'So how about you? When did you know you liked me?' Fulton asked, as he stopped laughing.

'Well, uh, I guess since the end of the Goodwill Games. The thought of possibly never seeing you again was horrible. At first, I thought it was just because we'd become such good friends in the short time we'd been together and I was going to miss having someone to cause trouble with, but then something clicked and I realized that it was because I liked you. I realized that every time I was around you, I was so happy I felt like…like I was gonna burst or something. You didn't need to say anything, just you being near me was enough.' Portman answered, scratching his head as he remembered how he'd felt when the team had been sat around the campfire after the gold medal game.

'Why didn't you say something?' asked Fulton

'Like I said, I thought you were into girls. That night we broke curfew, you were looking at all these girls and yeah, I was too, but only because you seemed so into them. I remembered that night and figured that it wasn't meant to be.' Portman replied, shrugging as he laid back against the pillows.

'You're kidding? I was only looking at those girls because I thought you were! I was never interested in them.' Fulton exclaimed, lowering himself onto his side next to Portman, propping himself up on one elbow.

'Man, how clueless were we?' laughed Portman, wrapping one arm round Fulton and pulling him close.

'Very! But, I guess it's a good thing we got to see each other again, huh?' Fulton laughed, moving closer.

'It definitely is.' Portman smiled, tilting his head upwards and kissing Fulton deeply.
