CHAPTER
FOUR

Something
was definitely up with Blake and Tori, Dustin decided as he idly chopped the
vegetables for the salad that would accompany the steaks and potato casserole
that the others were preparing. Granted, it was very possible that they were being
slow about confessing the long held attraction between them but for some
reason, his gut instinct was that he was that theory was wholly incorrect and
somewhere in the three minutes they had lagged behind Cam
and Hunter they had screwed up royally.

He
looked around and watched how everyone interacted with each other. Hunter, who
had always been moody and standoffish now acted like a five year old on Christmas
morning. Cam, who was always short tempered
with everyone was smiling indulgently up at the tall blond and allowing him to
feed him tiny nibblits of the cheese they were supposedly preparing for the
dinner. It was rather cute, he decided, that the two most anti-social of the
team had fallen so completely for each other and were now acting like a couple
of juiced up teeny boppers on a crack and kitten high.

He
carefully mixed the vegetables in the bowl as he stole a quick look over at
Shane who was masterfully soaking the meat in whiskey and preparing a dry rub
for the meat while the grill heated up. He was once again proud of himself for
the idea of growing his hair out as long as he had, for it not only looked
good, at least to him, but it also allowed him more coverage when he decided to
people watch.

If
he truly admitted it to himself, he watched Shane much more than he should. He
had been dating Marah ever since she had joined the wind ninja academy with her
sister Kapri after Lothor's defeat. He did like her a lot but lately she wasn't
the one he thought of constantly. When they first started dating he was once
again taken with her sweet face and similar personality, but when he was with
her he always felt like something was missing. He wondered idly if it was all
in his head and had forced himself to push any doubt back into the corners and
recesses of his mind.

Last
night had changed that however. He had come home and looked around his
apartment, only to find, much to his chagrin that he still hadn't unpacked more
than half of his belongings in the three years since he had moved in. Feeling
strangely motivated he had made quick progress with the things to display in
the rest of the house but when he got to his bedroom he only found three boxes
that needed to be unpacked. Starting on the first he found some personal
effects like pictures of himself, Tori and Shane when they were younger,
trophies and crafts made from the many summer camps he attended in his early
teen years. The second box had been full of significant items, most of them
fragile, if not physically then with special memories. The last box, and
smallest with no competition held six quite worn diaries. He had stared in
amused disbelief at the bound journals, and curious as he couldn't quite
remember what he had written when he was younger, started with the first and
began re-reading his entries.

Many
hours later he had sat in numbed tears as all of the frustration, anger and
pain were re-awakened with the resurfaced memories the reading had evoked. His
life had gone splendidly and his journals spoke of meeting Tori and later Shane.
Many of the entries were carefree and discombobulated of thought as he filled
the pages with his distinctive loopy handwriting about their adventures,
mishaps and close bonded friendship.

The
fourth journal, however, which held the entries of the only year he hadn't gone
to camp since he was seven, held the accounts of his first crush, and
subsequent rejection, and the pain he had gone through with learning for the
first time just how unfair and nasty the world and its opinions were.

He
had stayed at home for the summer while his mom had remarried and watched after
the family pets while she and her new husband had taken their two month trip to
Europe for their honeymoon. He had gotten a
part time job as a courier and had spent the time quite happily working the
short shifts of delivering the different envelopes between courts and law
offices and other places of important business.

Some
time in the third week, he had noticed a certain lawyer who received many of
the correspondences that Dustin carried for his work. He was instantly taken
with the older man's confidence and easy command of the room, the man, whose
name he learned later was Nathaniel, was quite striking in appearance and it
seemed completely natural to Dustin that he should gradually begin to appear in
fantasies and daydreams. Dustin, who had never encountered true prejudices or
bigotry, never really got how cruel people could be to those who were different
than what they considered the norm.

After
a few more weeks, Nathaniel almost exclusively used Dustin for his deliveries,
requesting him with Dustin's boss and had even gone to the point of paying
three times the rate to keep him on call for personal use whenever he needed a
package or letter expedited.

Dustin,
in his naivety, took this deference and the other hints off attention from the
older man as a subtle hint to returned affections and finally got up the
courage to bring a flower by to present to the older man two weeks before his
return to school and the subsequent end of his job.

Nathaniel,
to put it lightly, was extremely unamused with the gesture and had spent close
to a half hour screaming obscenities to Dustin who could find no alternative to
standing there taking the insults quietly.

Even
four years later, the memory still hurt. He had known, of course, that
Nathaniel's words were rubbish and that it wasn't unnatural to love someone of
the same gender. Even still, he had closed his heart down to the idea of ever
confessing such attractions again. Now, the thought of spending the rest of his
life with Marah just made his stomach ache.

It
wasn't anything against her or females in general, he did love Marah, but he
still felt like he was missing something vital in his life. Shaking his head in
obstinacy. He quickly renewed his efforts of dicing the vegetables for the
salad, determined to keep all such thinking out of his mind. He was content
with his life, there was no reason that he could possibly come up with to ruin
his happiness.

~*~*~

Tori
was carefully layering the casserole dishes with the different layers of
potatoes and flavorings such as sour cream and cheese to make the wonderful
hash-brown casserole dish that the boys loved so much. She was trying so hard
not to fall to pieces after having Blake all but slap her in the face with his
dismissal of her feelings towards him. Part of her wondered how the
conversation would have ended if he had confessed similar feelings to her that
she felt for him.

Cam and the boys had assured her that Blake was just as crazy about
her as she was, but they couldn't always be right. They were bound to be off
the mark about something. Gritting her teeth against the overwhelming urge to
cry she carefully took a breath and calmed herself down as she glanced over to
where Blake was tending the grill.

She
wanted so bad to go up to him and ease the tense look in his face, the
tightened set of his shoulders but she was afraid that if she approached him
she would blurt out her feelings for him anyways. Something, she was sure, that
he had no desire to hear.

Turning
resolutely back to the casserole she sighed and finished it, wrapping it in
foil and putting it in the oven before turning to get the settings for the
table.

~*~*~
Blake
was not amused. In fact, he was down right pissed. He stoked the coal grill
that Shane had in his backyard and tried desperately not to run over to Tori
and beg on his knees for her to give him a chance. He knew coming back was a
stupid idea, but he had to see if she might in any way return his feelings. �Well, I guess I know that answer.� He
mused silently as he stole a look over at the girl he loved.

Sighing
heavily he stoked the grill again and accepted the steaks and burgers as Shane
brought them out, trying as hard as he could to put Tori in the back of his
mind.

~*~*~

Shane
was so over this. He�d watched Tori
and Blake mope in opposite corners of the room, for over an hour and by the
looks of it, he wasn�t the only one wanting to strangle them both. Cam was watching them with barely concealed disgust and
Hunter just seemed annoyed in general. Dustin was peeking out at them from
underneath his bangs and the two in question were trying hard not to get caught
staring at each other. Shane tried to concentrate on the meal but after
spotting another longing look at Blake from Tori he threw down his fork in
disgust. �Dude, this shit is annoying! Tori, Blake�s been head over heels for
you since he first saw you and Dude, she�s wanted you seriously bad for just as
long. Would you PLEASE put us all out of your
misery and just fuck or something?� He exclaimed in annoyance before getting up
to get a drink.

Tori
and Blake stared after Shane, their faces slack jawed in amazement at his
display of temper. Tori shook her head as if clearing it before something he said
clicked. Snapping her head around to Blake she gave him a wary look, �You like
me?� She demanded, hoping dearly that Shane was right.

Blake
bit his lip and nodded slowly, hoping he wasn�t going to have to duck for
having his feelings exposed by Shane.

Tori
stared for a moment before giving a tiny squeal and launching herself over the
table and into him, tipping the chair backwards in her exuberance as she landed
on him and immediately kissed him, her arms around his neck.

Blake
was stunned and slightly frightened by the Tori attack, his back feeling about
like the legs of his chair, which had just snapped. Nevertheless he was kissing
her back with equal enthusiasm, desperately trying to block out his brothers
laughter.

Tori,
it seemed, was unable to do so either. Slowly halting the kisses she glared up
at the blonde former ranger and stuck her tongue out, earning a new round of
laughter before grinning and curling up with Blake on the floor.

She
could get used to this.

A/N:
Ok so I know it�s a bit shorter than the rest but it�s more of a transition
chapter. I think the next Chapter will be a bit more detailed and lengthy.
There should be some drunken humor in it and I think Dustin might have a
confession or two while they play I�ve Never. Stay Tuned for more of the good
stuff!! But Here�s the deal, I didn�t want to pull this card but I�m DYING for
feedback here! I need everyone to leave me a review with hints and suggestions
for the story. I don�t care if its as little as suggesting a question for I�ve
Never but I need some serious info. I know its my story and I�m the one writing
it but I would love to get suggestions and ideas on how to shake it up a bit! I
really need your help so I can make it a truly awesome story! REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!! I won�t threaten
to withhold chapters this time but if I still don�t get any response by the
time the next chapter is up I might change my mind!
