Summary: Ars Amatoria's Ranger Romance Theme challenge; 7. Smile.
Smile
A smile… It seems so unimportant. It's one of those things I've come to realise I've been taking for granted.
The ability to smile… I can't remember a day go by I didn't smile. Even when things were down and life threw me a curveball, I always found a smile and the strength to go on.
My whole world changed when I met him, Andros, red ranger of KO-35. He's seen so much in his life already, the kidnapping of his sister, his home being half destroyed, his teammates killed and his best friend comatosed. It's enough to depress even the greatest optimist to suicide attempts.
Andros never got that drastic, he's too strong for that, though I don't think he realizes it. Depression did get a hold of him and at some point I believe he even forgot how to smile.
I once caught a glimpse of his smile. It was haunted, yes, but it intrigued me and I was determined to see it more.
Now he smiles daily. Having his brother and sister back and his planet being safe sure helped with that.
It's hard to believe, but I've come addicted to his smile. He says he is to mine, that my optimism, happiness and carefree spirit saved him, but it's my smile that warmed his heart and freed it from it's icy prison.
I never knew such a simple thing as a smile could mean so much to people, let alone save lives, but I'm sure glad it can.
A/N: See, told you there'd be more. :P
