oh. OH. that – okay, oh shit. wow. breath stops, time stops. entirely in the tracks of the sun. i love you. three words that mean so much to a point, & so much more at another. has said it, many times. in moments of silence. in the blades of lover’s shoulders as the ranger slept. but now it’s loud, it’s out loud, it’s here. it’s all over now, isn’t it my dear ? pause,tongue between lips. “ i love you too. “ honest, unresistant. weight off heart, off head, off shoulders. — “ think i have for awhile. “ has. for awhile. almost from the moment a crush planted itself within the amber set ranger’s heart. steal a kiss, steal a reply. hold, & inhale. groan into & melt against. falling, falling, falling & slam into the earth with you. wandering to hold closer hands find dirt upon skin, scars, scrapes. was in love with a warrior & is reminded then, a smile against mouth. “ i love you, babe. “ muffled, doesn’t matter. @rosyranger·
trini seems to always find the best ways to one-up her. nothing about them is a competition of course she just always says exactly the right things. it’s something kim has come to expect at this point, and she loves it. she loves that this person knows her so well and she loves that she can be vulnerable and exposed to her and that she’ll only ever protect her, never try and take advantage of her weak spots.
she knows. and she hates that she hasn’t been able to say it sooner. it’s a tricky thing, love. amazing to be in it but also horrifying. for no one has more capability to hurt her now than trini. no one has the ability to make her happier. it feels like a trap but she’s jumping in anyway, letting it clamp its steely teeth around her, letting herself bleed out.
the yellow ranger’s lips are against hers again and she feels butterflies explode inside of her chest, all fluttering out at once. she whimpers against her lips. ❛ i love you too. ❜ it’s muffled, barely audible, but it’s out there again. a confirmation of sorts. she can’t take it back now even if she wanted to, and she doesn’t. has no intentions of ever taking it back, of ever letting her go. she kisses her back with furious intensity, the kind of intensity she puts into her training sessions. she kisses her so hard it nearly hurts. ❛ so much. ❜
