Of Anime, Poetry and Falling in Love: Mack and Rose
Disclaimer: Nope, sorry.
Challenge: Confidence
Timeframe: Post Weather or Not
Summary: In which Rose thinks about Mack's lack of confidence in himself.
She hated that he had doubted himself. Rose was of the opinion that Andrew, while meaning well and good intentioned, had sheltered Mack for far too long as it was, and due to this protection, Mack had never had the opportunity to build up a lot of confidence in himself anyway.
Being a ranger had changed that. Rose knew it. She'd seen Mack's belief in himself grow as the rangers managed to keep Moltor and Flurious from stealing the jewels of the Corona Aurora. And Mack, as their leader, was proud of his team and of himself.
The near death of the delivery man had changed that drastically. Mack's confidence had dwindled drastically, and it almost pained Rose to watch her friend like this. But she knew he would save them, and save her. She believed in him and his abilities, which was why she'd spoke up about not worrying and that Mack would find a way to save them.
And then, like Rose knew he would, Mack came to the rescue, her knight in shining red armor, though she'd never admit that to the others. His belief in himself returned and it was stronger than ever. Rose decided that the confident Mack was the one she needed to keep her sane.
The moping one would have to be kept at bay, she thought as she watched him read his book, the usual grin on his face. Because now that he'd truly proven himself, he had something to be confident about.
