Thanks so much for the reviews everyone. As I said before, this isn't very realistic because the first half is Rocky and Adam longing after each other. I have the first 10 stories completely written, I just need to polish them up. They will definitely be getting together; it'll just be a few more chapters and a few more years first. Please don't give up. Pureangel86, your review made me laugh, but I couldn't figure out if you meant my story is odd or your liking it is odd, so I'll take it as a compliment.

Obsessive

Rocky walked into the Juice Bar and then groaned softly.

Adam and Tanya were sitting in a corner booth, laughing together. Rocky walked to the counter, placing his order and sitting down on a stool.

Since Tanya had joined the team eight months ago, Adam had become more outgoing but Rocky had become more withdrawn.

First, he assumed he was upset about Aisha staying in Africa but the more time Adam and Tanya spent together, the more bothered he'd become.

Rocky huffed under his breath. I guess I was wrong when I said Adam should move on. He never realized he could be that selfish. He wasn't ready to be in a relationship that would have the intensity of his and Adam's but seeing him with Tanya was driving him crazy.

It was to the point where he was ready to step down as a Power Ranger. The level of his obsession with Adam was frightening.

He rubbed his face harshly not noticing the brown eyes that watched him closely.

"I don't know what's wrong with him, Tan. He acts like everything is fine, but he's avoiding us. He hasn't looked at us since he's come in."

Tanya's smile was indulgent. "Have you tried talking to him? Try asking him what's wrong."

"That's the problem. We talk as much as we always did, but it's nothing personal anymore. Sometimes I catch this look on his face and I think he hates me."

"He doesn't hate you, Adam," she spoke firmly.

"I know he doesn't really." He looked at Rocky again. "I just wish I knew what was wrong."

She debated telling him, but they had become close platonic friends in the last couple months.

"It's not you he's avoiding. It's us. He thinks we're dating, Adam."

Now it was his turn to rub his face. "He has no right to feel that way. Rocky said he may never be ready for me. That doesn't mean I have to sit around waiting for him to change his mind."

"Rocky doesn't expect that from you. That's why he doesn't say anything about it."

"How can you know all this stuff?"

"I'm new to the team. I didn't know anything about you guys when I showed up, so I can see things that you hide from the others."

He smiled. Tanya had no expectations about them as a whole, but when she implied that she knew his secret it had still shocked him. He hadn't hesitated in trusting her and it was the best decision he had made. Yes, they spent a lot of time together but as friends, nothing more. The small side of him was happy that it made Rocky jealous. It was one reason he hadn't told Rocky the truth.

"So, before we head out, what do you think of Rocky not wanting to be together?"

He shrugged. "Honestly, I never expected to have him return my feelings, but knowing that he isn't adverse to the idea gives me an extra awareness of him. But he's right." He sighed. "I've loved him, the idea of him since we were 12, but in the last few months we've both changed so much and still have so much changing to do. I know he's right even though it hurts. We're not ready. I just wish I knew if we'd be together someday."

Tanya weighed her options before reaching out her hand and covering Adam's.

"Tanya, you don't have to…"

He words trailed off as she raised her eyes to his.

"Because you would never ask, is the reason I'm doing it. My clairvoyant power is weak and never tells exactly what is going to happen, but sometimes you'll learn something."

She smiled. "Within ten years, you'll have a definite answer, whatever it may be."

He laughed softly before squeezing her hand. "Thanks." He paused. "How about a movie?"

Rocky watched them holding hands with a heavy heart. Unnoticed, he headed for the door feeling as if his heart was splitting in two.
