Chapter Two: Jealousy Strikes

If someone looked up the term ‘jealous’ they probably would have found Billy Cranston’s picture next to the definition. He was not jealous person at all; unfortunately, his heart and his mind were thinking two different things. He didn’t have feelings for the newly released from evil Green Ranger, nor did he ever think of that fateful afternoon in the janitor’s closet. Never.

He was happy that Tommy and Kim were seeing each other.

Really.

Late at night, he wondered how many of the lies he told himself he actually believed. Which sadly were none of them.

Subconsciously, Billy distanced himself from not only Tommy but the others as well, not that they seemed to notice. Tommy and Kim were too wrapped up in dancing and flirting around each other, Jason kept attempting to ask Trini out on a date, and Zack trying to keep up a social life with Angela. Aside from fighting against Rita’s monsters and attempting to master the martial arts better, Billy managed to bury himself in school assignments and gadgets in his lab.

It had worked, until Tommy cornered him in his lab one Saturday afternoon. “Why are you avoiding us?”

Billy evaded Tommy inquiring brown eyes and focused on adjusting the controls for the handheld remote for the Rad Bug. “I don’t know what you mean.” He managed to lie, turning away from those haunting eyes.

He felt Tommy’s hand grasp his bicep and whirl him around before invading his personal space for the second time. “You do know what I mean Billy,” his voice was low, dangerous, and silky. Stop, stop, Stop!

“Maybe I do and I do not wish to acknowledge it, just as you have.” Billy said as he pulled his arm out of Tommy’s grasp. “You’re with Kimberly now, and I do not wish to get in the way of your relationship, nor do I have any business to.”

“Maybe I want it to be your business.”

Billy felt his heart give a tiny lunge of hope, but managed to squash it down, keeping his face and tone neutral. “I have no right, you were obviously were not thinking clearly enough that day… at school,” Billy said casually, turning away from hurt chocolate brown eyes, looking at the floor. “Why don’t we agree that what happened was a result of a chemical imbalance to the evil Green Ranger powers and you were not thinking logically?”

“…”

Billy turned back around, keeping his eyes on the floor. “Tommy?”

“You may be the only who chooses to think with logic Billy,” Tommy said in a very quiet, hurt voice. “But I choose to follow what’s in my heart, and not in my head.” He sighed. “Kim’s beautiful, funny, smart…”

“The greatest,” the Blue Ranger agreed softly.

“Yeah, but she’s not the one who keeps haunting my dreams, who I want to kiss every time I see her, and I definitely don’t want to shove her up against the lockers and-”

“I get the picture Tommy,” Billy said hastily, a deep blush spreading across his face.

Tommy smiled. “It’s cute when you blush.”

Billy tried to glare at him but failed horribly. “Is Kimberly aware of how you feel about me?”

“Yes, and surprisingly, she’s okay with it.”

An eyebrow rose. “Really?” He couldn’t keep the curiosity out of his voice.

“Absolutely.”

That tiny part of hope swelled and Billy found himself saying: “Well, what are you waiting for?”

Tommy grinned and closed the already small gap between them, capturing his lips with Billy’s, causing him to groan softly. He couldn’t help but run his fingers though Tommy’s soft hair, something he’d been longing to do since that day in the closet. He felt his backside bump into the lab table and though he was vaguely aware of how they ended up there, he just didn’t really care right now. He deepened the kiss and heard a deep groan vibrate from Tommy as he was pushed onto the table, haphazardly knocking random items off. As long as nothing exploded, Billy could care less at the moment.

Reacting on instinct, Billy slowly unbuttoned Tommy’s bright green shirt, pushing it off his shoulders and ran a hand over his smooth, well muscled chest, causing him to moan and break their kiss. Billy could see the passion and the nervousness in Tommy’s eyes and hoped he could see the same in his own eyes.

“We should stop,” he murmured huskily.

“Yeah, too bad we don’t know how to,” Tommy quipped with a grin.

Billy grinned back and kissed Tommy, becoming a little bolder this time. He felt Tommy fumbling with the straps on his overalls, unclipped them one at a time. He then began to slowly tug Billy’s shirt up when he thought he heard the door open.

“Hey Billy—omigosh!” Kim squealed in embarrassment, causing the Blue and Green Rangers to break apart.

“Kim? What’s wrong?” Trini asked as she walked in, bumping into the petite Pink Ranger. Her gaze fell on the half-naked teens, trying to put themselves back together. “Oh…”

She tried to keep the amusement off her face as she pulled Kim out. “We’ll come back later.”

As the door closed, they could hear Kim sigh, “Is that the hottest thing you’ve ever seen Trine?”

“Definitely hot,” Trini agreed as their voices faded away.

Billy met Tommy’s gaze and they both couldn’t help but laugh loudly.

Sobering a moment later, as Tommy pulled on his shirt, he met Billy’s gaze. “Will you have lunch with me tomorrow?”

Billy blinked, taken off guard. “As in a… a date?”

“Yeah, a date.”

“I um, I… yes.” Billy managed to say, a bit flustered.

Tommy smiled. “Great. Meet me at the Juice Bar at one?”

“Okay, it’s date.”
