Hiya all! As always, credit to Cobalt Blue for agreeing to Beta me, and for the great Billy/Jase scene in this chapter. As always, feedback keeps me going and inspires me!

Fair warning! Slash relationships abound in Bleu Soliloqui. Slightly A/U with alternate reality versions of some of the rangers.

Enjoy!

Alex stared at everyone before he spoke focusing his attention on Aisha especially. "We all need to talk about what's going on." He looked around and sighed, "You know, with Billy and Jason, Adam and myself and Aisha. Tommy, you---well you have your reasons for whatever you said to Kim earlier. Aisha, you haven't looked at me once in the last couple of days. I'm sorry that I remind you of Billy, but I'm not him."

Aisha glared at Alex then stood up as anger at Alex flashing in her eyes. "I know you're not him. If you were, I would have told you where to go already." Sarcasm dripped from her voice, "Forgive me if I'm not running to you with open arms," she snorted, "or lips like everyone else around here." Looking down, her voice softened, "I need time Alexander, and I need to have a word with Billy before I explode." Aisha was pulled back to her seat by Rocky who cursed himself mentally at how the situation had gotten out of hand.

Aisha pulled out of Rocky's grasp and continued to glare at Alex. Kim shot daggers at Tommy while she ate, and Adam kicked himself mentally for this whole mess. It wasn't anyone's fault in particular that they were all at wits end, but it made things very uncomfortable and tense.

Alex sighed as he picked up his books and made for a hasty exit. He was pissed off, there was no doubt about that, and he knew he needed to leave before he blew his stack at everyone. Adam glanced at him, asking him with his eyes if he wanted company, but Alex negated the offer with a small shake of his head.

"I'll catch up with you later Adam." Alex left without another word to anyone else. Adam shook his head at the mess their lives had become. Getting up he too left the others to their own devices. He didn't attempt to follow Alex; instead, he headed for the gym to work off his stress.

Unknowing of the Peyton Place building in Angel Grove among their friends, Billy and Jason were getting comfortable at his room at the cabin. Jason had wrapped himself around Billy and was nuzzling the blonde's neck while he enjoyed the freedom to explore his friend's body. He couldn't get over the idea of having the right to touch Billy like this. Billy lay back with a blissful expression on his face as Jason continued his explorations. Jason eventually gave up the spot at the juncture of Billy's neck and shoulder to work his way down to his chest. Jason gave a slight growl as he left a wet line with his tongue to a nipple where he bit down gently. Jason was rewarded with a shudder and low moan as Billy arched his back and bit his lip.

"Liked that did you?" Jason asked as he playfully nibbled his way across to the other nipple, and was almost knocked off the bed as Billy jumped up at Jason's teeth making contact with his skin. "I guess that answers my question, now sit up for me."

Billy sat up in a daze as Jason divested him of his shirt and pushed him back down on the bed. Jason straddled Billy and leaned in for a kiss, but wound up on his back instead when Billy flipped them. Billy looked down at Jason as if he were a prime rib and he a starving man.

Jason preened under Billy's visual inspection, and then he reached up to bring Billy back down for another kiss. Jason could taste the coffee Billy had had for lunch. He could learn to like coffee if it meant kissing Billy like this. Their lips met, and Jason could feel Billy groan into his mouth as Jason's tongue sought entrance.

Jason had no idea exactly what he wanted from Billy, what he had to offer his genius lover, but he knew he wanted it, and wanted to give it. He let his hands roam behind Billy cupping his derriere in both hands, marveling at the tight hardness of the muscle, their tongues dueled. He felt Billy reach down and pull Jase's own red tank over his head, and then run his hands gently along Jase's sides as he stretched out on top of the bigger teen.

Jason twisted over so that they were lying side by side facing each other, never breaking the kiss. Jason ran his hand down Billy's hip, and then between them. The lengthening hardness he felt there sent a shiver up his spine and elicited another moan of pleasure from the blond genius. He felt Billy's hand begin its own explorations, as he was gently squeezed along the length of his own manhood.

Pulling back from his face, Billy's deep blue green eyes asked for permission to go further. With a smile it was granted as both boys grinned playfully at each other started shucking their jeans and undergarments. Faster than it takes to tell they were once again stretched out against each other, skin touching skin, lips touching, hand's roaming.

Slowly Jason kissed his way down Billy's body, taking time to savor the scent of his skin, the texture of his body. He could smell Billy's cologne and under that, was the Billy's own scent. Permeating all that was another scent, a gamey scent. Looking down, he could see that it was coming from both of them as they leaked lubricant. Smiling to himself, Jason kissed his way on down to the length of hardened flesh awaiting him. Taking no time to consider what he was doing he swooped up the length with his tongue and then took it deep into his mouth- at least as much of it as he could manage without gagging. He was after all new at this, and had no idea whatsoever how Anna Myers had managed to take all of him at once.

"Oh, no you don't," Billy said twisting his body around. "I'm not going to lie here and not participate." With a grin he twisted around so that their bodies were like the two famous inverted numbers and said, "I want my new toy!" Jason smiled to himself as he felt his own manhood suddenly engulfed in a hot warm suction.

The room was filled with the gentle sounds of their bodies rocking back and forth against each other. Each boy groaning slightly around their oral pleasures until their passions began to rise. Suddenly Jason realized how close he was getting, he feverishly tapped Billy on the shoulder trying to warn him of impending completion, but the Blue Ranger was having nothing of it. As the universe shattered around him, he arched his back as Billy slipped from his mouth. He felt something hot and wet splash against his cheek, his neck, and his chest as he slowly came down from where Billy had sent him.

Looking down his body he saw Billy smiling up at him, with a very self satisfied look on his face he said, "That was...was…uh...Morphinomenal!" Billy grinned at Jason as he pulled himself level with Jason's face.

He smiled at Jason as he leaned in for a kiss, feeling the cooling liquid against his skin as he claimed Jason's mouth. Jason pulled away only because he needed to breathe, and wrapped himself around Billy sated, and pleased as hell with him self.

"Can we do this again?" Jason asked while he nuzzled at Billy's neck enjoying just being with Billy.

Billy smiled dreamily and gave Jason a soft "as often as we can" before he yawned and snuggled closer to Jason. He was exhausted, but it was a good feeling, he was safe and warm with his lover--- lover, hmmm I like the sound of that. Billy thought as he started to drift off.

Jason lay there, as he caressed Billy's face just watching him sleep peacefully. Jason soon joined Billy in slumber as he drifted off entwined with his friend and lover. While they enjoyed a nap, the other members of their group weren't so lucky as to enjoy a moment's peace.

Alex had found Adam after school sitting at the usual spot in front of school. He approached carefully, since he didn't know what kind of a mood Adam might be in. Adam noticed Alex and smiled at him in welcome.

"No need to sneak up on me, I'm in a better mood now. I worked off most of my stress earlier." Adam scooted over to give Alex some room as he looked off in the distance. Alex sat there, enjoying the silence for a moment before he spoke up. "I'm sorry I blew up at everyone earlier. I just couldn't stand the tension any more. I feel like they are so concerned for Billy's emotions, and I'm not suffering at all. Hell, I'm miserable too."

Adam let an arm snake around Alex's waist as Alex scowled at the ground and went silent. He didn't mean to whine or sound like he was complaining, but the fact that everyone seemed so overly concerned with how Billy was taking the drastic changes to their lives was rubbing him the wrong way.

Alex gave Adam a feeble grin as he realized that Adam was taking a chance by publicly comforting him at school. "Thanks Adam. I didn't mean to unload on you. I suppose I should find my brother and talk with him. I'm concerned about him, so is father. Any clue as to where he could be?"

Adam shrugged, as he honestly didn't have a clue where Billy could be holed up. He had thought about Jason's but didn't know if just calling or showing up would be a good idea. "Maybe he's still at Jason's. Think we should try there?"

"Sure why not? Hopefully Mrs. Scott will tell us where his is if they aren't there. Shall we?" Alex hopped up and waited for Adam to join him. Adam stood, and they headed towards the Scott residence. While they went in search of Billy and Jason, Tommy was attempting to pull his foot out of his mouth.

Kim was standing in front of him with the same fiery look in her eyes that hadn't died down since the morning. Every time she let what Tommy had said about Billy and Jason cross her mind she became livid all over again. Tommy had failed at every attempt to get her to calm down and listen to him.

"Thomas Oliver, give me one reason why I should ever listen to anything you have to say ever again? Who do you think you are to put down my two best friends, Jason and Billy are like brothers to me! How dare you even think let alone speak of them so poorly? They welcomed you to the team, to our circle of friends after all you did, and this is how you repay them?"

Tommy stood there, unable to come back with any kind of defense for Kim's tirade. She was right and he knew it. He hung his head and waited for her to run out of steam, and maybe he could try to apologize for his erroneous words earlier in the day.

"Well, Oliver? Do you have anything to say for yourself or should I let you think about how you have deeply offended me and my friends?" Kim was so angry she was getting flushed in the face, and unshed tears were standing in her eyes.

"Kim, there is nothing I can say in my defense. You're right in every sense of the word. I let my tiredness and stress speak for me instead of common sense. I'm frustrated by this whole thing, how everyone seems to be at the breaking point, myself at the head of the line."

Kim looked at Tommy for long moments before she spoke again. "So what is stressing you out about Billy and Jase? If Billy needs support from his best friend, who's been there for every bad thing Billy has gone through who the hell are you to judge? If Billy actually reached out to Jason, then he's at least trying to heal. Now if you can get over what ever trip you're on, I'll be at home trying to catch up on school work. You can call me later, and I'll decide if I want to talk to you. Bye Tommy."

With that Kim flounced away towards home. Tommy stood there for a moment, not sure if he was forgiven or not, and then decided he would call Kim later and hope she would speak with him. He headed toward the youth center, hoping that he could find Jason and Billy to talk about what was going on. He had done them wrong in thought and felt the need to correct his error.

Alex and Adam arrived at the Scott residence, and were greeted by a sleepy Helen Scott who wasn't sure what the boys could want. "Hi boys, what can I do for you?"

Adam shuffled from one foot to the other for a bit. "We're sorry that we woke you Mrs. Scott. We were hoping that Billy or Jason were here."

Helen blinked sleepily as she tried to recall where Jason said they were going. She looked at Alex for a second, before she realized that Billy wasn't standing in front of her. "They went to see Billy's uncle in Forest Creek. They'll probably be there for the rest of the weekend. Don't worry they'll be back in school on Monday. Do you want me to call them for you?'

Alex nodded "no" while Adam thought about Mrs. Scott's offer. "No thanks, if you talk to them can you ask them to call us. We're worried about them ma'am."

Helen nodded; she got the gist of things even though she wasn't running at full speed yet. "Ok boys, if I talk to Jason I'll let him know you came by. They'll be back on Sunday if you want to drop by."

Alex smiled at Helen, he felt bad about waking her but they had no idea she had worked a late night at the hospital. "Thank you again, Mrs. Scott, we're sorry for waking you up. I'll try to catch him on Sunday when he gets back. Thank you." Alex stepped off the porch as Helen waved bye to them and went back inside. Once they were on their way, Adam asked Alex what his plan was for the rest of the evening.

"So got anything planned for the evening?"

Alex shrugged as they approached his house, his expression becoming more somber. "Nothing really, I don't feel like being bothered with him or his wife. Shanna is out for the evening and I'm not in the mood for a lot of company. You?"

Adam shrugged. He didn't have a plan per se; he just wanted to spend time with Alex. "Nothing really, dinner with the folks then I have no idea. Would you like to come over for dinner or we could do something afterwards if you want." Alex smiled a real smile that time at Adam's offer of respite in his storm of troubles. "Why meeting the family so soon? Why not, I mean it's not like I'll be missed here. Will your mom be ok with you bringing me over?"

"I'd like to call first if we could. If not, we can ask when we get there." Adam gave Alex a long look, as he tried to gauge his mood.

Alex sighed and started toward the door, a wicked smile came to him as he thought of something mean to do to his father.

"Sure, let's go in. If I act odd, I'll explain later. Just play along with me ok?" Alex grinned at Adam with a glint in his eyes that spoke volumes about his plan. Adam nodded his agreement and entered with Alex leading the way.

Seeing no one home, Alex sighed. "Oh well, it would have been funny to do that to him. Here's the phone. I'll be right down I want to drop off my bag." Alex dashed upstairs and dropped off his back pack whilst Adam called home to see if his mom would be ok with a guest for dinner.

"Hey mom, can a friend come over for dinner? Oh Billy's brother. Yeah, well it's a long story that I'd prefer to leave to them to tell. Ok, I'll be home soon, thanks mom, love you too."

Adam hung up and turned around to see Alex standing in the doorway with a warm smile that reached his eyes and lit his soul. Alex left a note for his family and then embraced Adam possessively, like he was the only thing keeping Alex afloat in the rolling sea of his life. Adam returned the embrace, glad they were together, and that Alex was allowing him to get close to his heart. After a short time Alex let go, with a kiss that seared Adam to the core.

"Keep that up and we'll never make dinner." Adam teased as he wandered to the door with his hand on his lips, still feeling the kiss from Alex.

"Who knows, that might not be a bad idea. However, I wouldn't want your mom to think ill of me before I've even met her. If she'll be so kind as to let us be after dinner I'd love to play around with you some more." Alex joined Adam so they could set off for dinner.

Meanwhile, Billy and Jason had come back to the land of the living after a blissful slumber and shower together. Billy was sitting in the window watching Jason, he enjoyed the fact he could observe without reproach and touch Jason with the feeling being reciprocated.

Jason caught his gaze and smiled lazily. "Hey your gonna make me blush watching me like I'm the only thing on the earth to look at."

"That's because you are to me." Billy said simply as he got up, nabbing his shoes on the way. His attempt at putting them on was interrupted by a crushing embrace from Jason and a kiss that stole the air from his lungs. "What did I do to deserve that?" Billy queried once he could breathe again.

Jason caressed his face gently while he let go. "You just are; that's what. Now come on you make a boy hungry." Jason tugged Billy along as they headed to the car with dinner on their minds, love pulling a close second.

Anyone else who would have occupied their time and minds was irrelevant at the moment. Once they had taken in their fill of food and each other, they could pay attention to the woes of their world. For now it was them and only them that they could see or acknowledge.

A/N: Ok, I know I left it in an awkward place, but there's more to come. Heart to hearts all around! (Thanks for sticking around for this chapter, and here's to more!
