Chapter#6-Snuggle

The strange thing about being in a relationship when the two involved used to be best friends was that it was just so easy to transition from friend to lovers, at least that's how Trent saw it. Being with Conner as his lover was just like being with Conner as his best friend only now he didn't have to deal with all the pent up sexual tension he had caused with all his staring because now he was allowed to just reach over and kiss the other boy senseless is that's what he wanted to do.

Being with the red ranger was like a huge adventure, Conner was just so passionate: if the other boy wanted to kiss him just because he could then he would. Trent often found the other boy's arms wound around his waist while his chin rested on his shoulder and on the nights they spent together Trent found that Conner lost that kind and gentle but firey passion that he had shown during their first time together.

But the one thing Trent treasured above all the kissing and sex that he got to experience with the red ranger was the times when the two of them would just sit on the couch and the other would just hold him tightly. Those times seemed to becoming more and more frequent with all the times that Mesogog attacked them Trent could feel his moral and spirit slowly dying and when he wanted comfort his boyfriend was always there with open arms and a warm smile on his face.

When he told Kira about his favourite past time with the red ranger the girl had just smiled at him sweetly and called him a hopeless romantic in love, he had just blushed and brushed her off with a flippant comment. He still hadn't told anyone-least of all Conner-that he was in love with the other boy but sometimes he caught Dr O giving him a sympathetic glance that made him speculate that maybe his mentor did know about his true feelings.

He didn't know why he hadn't told anyone, it's not like he was ashamed of them if anything he was proud he could easily admit to himself that the red ranger was his whole world, but it was more the fact he felt very strongly about his feelings and wanted to keep them private and secret. Sometimes he thought that maybe Conner felt the same as him, the times when the other gave him the secret smiles that no one else got to see and the small intimate moments where Conner would just lay with them and play with his fingers talking about nothing made him think that maybe the red ranger might love him back.

But he wouldn't say anything, he was a coward he knew it but he couldn't say anything, he didn't want to lose him. He couldn't lose Conner, without him he felt empty he felt cold and more so he felt alone. Despite the fact they'd only been dating for a few weeks Trent had found out that the red ranger had become his whole world, looking back on the time when he was only friends with the other boy he found that his life before was so dull and grey, and now Conner made everything so bright and lively. The only thing the white ranger felt guilty about was the fact he had yet to stop lying to his team-his lover-about the fact Mesogog was his father's evil alter ego.

"Hey Trent...are you okay?" Conner asked and Trent swallowed sadly.

The two of them had gone to Trent's house to study but he had been finding it hard to focus as his thoughts kept going back to the fact he was lying to Conner every day. "I don't know" he whispered looking down at the text book on his lap.

The red ranger looked at his boyfriend in concern and put his palaeontology text book down and took Trent's hands in his own "come on Trent you can tell me anything" he said kissing their joined hands tenderly

Feeling the slight pressure of his lips against his skin Trent began to cry and threw himself into Conner's arms just wanting to be held. He was tired of it he couldn't keep it to himself anymore he just had to pray what he was about to tell the other wouldn't drive him away.

"Please open up Trent" Conner whispered running a hand through his hair.

The slight plea in the red ranger's voice was what broke Trent's will and so he nodded from the safety of Conner's arms. "Okay"

So he sat back and looked down at their entwined hands and told the other ranger everything, he told him about how he was taken in by Anton Mercer after his parents had been killed and how he became the white ranger. The he told him about how he found out about his father and Mesogog and how they were one and then same and how he promised the dino monster that he wouldn't tell anyone about whom he was. Conner sat silent the whole time just holding his hands in a tight grip, he didn't know if that was a good or bad thing but now that he had started he couldn't stop the words tumbling from his lips and when he finally finished he found he couldn't bring himself to look in the other ranger's eyes.

"Alright" Conner said and Trent winced at the plain voice "How are we gonna save him"

The white ranger's head shot up and saw his boyfriend's serious gaze and found the determination lying in them "what?"

His answer came in the form a warm smile and Conner kissing their hands once more "Trent your dad means a lot to you. So that means he's important to me as well. It's obvious that you can't tell Dr O about this but you did tell me"

"But you're the red ranger!" he gasped, Conner was Dr O's chosen he was his protégé, he told the black ranger everything, the two of them had no secrets between them.

Conner grinned and gave him a wink holding a finger to his lips "That's right and I'm leader" he said arrogantly "Which means...I deem this information is only to stay between the two of us" he said seriously "Mesogog won't think that you would tell me of all people and I think that between the two of us we can save your dad"

Not for the first time since they became friends Trent felt the same awe and hero worship he'd felt when he first met the red ranger. Even though he was a ranger as well he had never met anyone who was as kind and loyal than the ranger before him, "You are amazing" he whispered as tears started to well up in his eyes "I tell you I'm living with our enemy and you tell me your gonna help me get my dad back"

"That's just who I am...plus you're special" Conner said sincerely leaning forward to give him a sweet kiss.

Trent pulled Conner closer and rested his head on the other's chest "Can you just hold me tonight?" he asked, he love Conner and how close they got during the times they had been together but that night he just wanted to be held by the one he loved.

"Of course" Conner whispered pulling the white ranger onto of him and lying down on the floor staring up at the ceiling "I'd do anything for you" he added and Trent smiled happily snuggling into the warmth that Conner never seemed to lose.

"Thank you Conner" he mumbled as he felt himself falling asleep despite the fact it was only four in the afternoon and he still had his homework to finish.

The red ranger began to stoke his hair in a comforting gesture unknowingly making him feel even more tired before he replied "For what?"

"Being here" he mumbled his words slightly slurred as he drifted off.

The last thing he heard before he fell asleep was Conner's warm chuckle and the pressure of his lips to his forehead and the words "Always here for you Trent"
