( go go, )

Trying my hand at some actions here! Let's have some tender moments, huh? Some of these could be construed as a little... risqué. Add reverse to flip sender and receiver!

[trail] for sender to run their fingertip along receiver's jaw.

[tilt] for sender to gently tilt receiver's chin up.

[tuck] for sender to tuck a strand of hair behind receiver's ear.

[cup] for sender to cup receiver's cheek.

[drift] for sender to let their hand trail from receiver's shoulder to their lower back.

[hold] for sender to slide their hand into receiver's.

[thumb] for sender to wipe away receiver's tear with their thumb.

[scratch] for sender to slowly run their fingernail down receiver's spine.

[trace] for sender to run their fingertips over the bones in receiver's hand.

[grip] for sender to wrap an arm around receiver's waist.

[nuzzle] for sender to tuck their face into the crook of receiver's neck.

[breathe] for sender to trail a thumb over receiver's lower lip.

[rest] for sender to trail a thumb over receiver's eyelids.

[whisper] for sender to trail a fingertip down over receiver's neck.

he blows his bangs out of his eyes.

a nervous tick, fiddling with the ends of his curls as he finally turns back around to face the black.

‘ilikeyou–alot–alotalot.’

dillon blinks , once — twice , taking a moment to not only decipher what ziggy said , but process it . dillon isn't the best with emotions , and he's certainly not someone he'd consider desirable , but —- a soft exhale , before his expression softens , a rarity that the shark is really the only one to have been witness to . ❝ me too . ❞ 

‘it’s different now, with everyone, but before i transferred to angel grove–i didn't have the best group of people around me.’

the memory stung.

‘they were barely inclusive, always felt like i was an afterthought. sometimes that doubt comes crawling back in. despite.’

rocky's expresssion is gentle as he listens to kelly explain why she feels the way she does , his head tipping to the side a little . ❝ if they couldn't see the amazing person and friend that you are , then that's on them, kel . because everyone here adores you —- you wouldn't be a ranger if you weren't a good person . no one can take your worth from you . ❞

‘i know,’ the bear agrees quietly. ‘trini wouldn't have passed on the power if she didn't feel i was a good match.’

‘helps that you and adam were there too. and believe me, i always try to squash that tiny bit of doubt–it’s not as easy as it seems.’

though the bear doesn't really mind. nor is she actually going to complain. kelly's eyes fall shut, savoring the moment.

a soft breath escapes.

a soft chuckle vibrates in tommy's chest , his arms sliding to settle around her waist and pull the bear closer . ❝ decisions , decisions . or . . . you could just kiss me again , ❞ tommy hums , a smile tugging at his lips —- browns warm with playful teasing . 

before she draws back just enough to look at him through long lashes. leaning into his arms.

‘that’s your suggestion, hm?’ not that she's entirely surprised by it. nor does she mind. ‘you could also kiss me, you know, since i'm in the lead.’

not when it could be turned right around on her if tommy was suddenly in the vicinity. it would be fair and unfair at the same time.

‘yeah, that look is awfully familiar.’ she mumbles though fondly.

kelly waves to zack.

zack–grinning–winks at kelsey before calling. ‘yo, kel, why don't you come on over and teach jase some moves?’

she blinks– ‘i’ll land flat on my face and you know it. can't teach jason anything, he schools everybody. except tommy.’

kelsey hides a smile behind the forkful of chili-cheese fries she'd honestly surprised zack hasn't tried to snag a few from yet , snorting softly at kelly's words . ❝ you say that like you haven't gotten better with tommy teaching you , kel . ❞

kelly isn't about to air that said training has a lot of coaxing on tommy's part–because she often feels like she's just not doing well at all.

she sometimes, though not all, feels she wasn't a good pick. but the reality is, zordon wouldn't have picked her otherwise.

the griffin shoots kelsey a daggered look.

‘zack. that reminds me. has kelsey asked you to teach her some moves yet?’

a little too easily, more often than not.

he knows he can be abrasive. but that is only two times. when he's angry or worried.

minkseok isn't phased by raleigh's short fuse , especially when the tyranno knows it doesn't come from a place of malice . ❝ we're talking about it because believe it or not , i do care , wonsung-i-ah . ❞

minkseok shouldn't. that's it. shouldn't care about him. there's no fanfare, no bravado.

his eyes fall shut. much as he wants to agree, to head out to the jeep and go talk a little more privately, he knows it won't do any good.

or that's what he feels. that it would be a waste of his ranger's time.

rocky can't say he's too surprised , even if it's not like raleigh to outright decline an offer . his arms fold across his chest , brows rising slightly . ❝ pequeño simio , you're not being a bother by having feelings — and i'm not doing anything right now . you're my soul zord , raleigh . i don't like seeing you feeling off . ❞

because no surprise–rocky is wearing him down. something that he's always had the ability to do without really trying.

it’s the bond. plain and simple.

even if he didn't really need it. there wasn't any trying to convince them otherwise.

he grins, just a little. ‘bien. así no tendré que amenazarte con delatarte al oso.’ like that wouldn't get him scolded too in the process.

❝ no estaría de más hacer algo , me vendría bien con toda honestidad . ❞ rocky gives a roll of his shoulders to make sure his back is feeling up to it . ❝ you sure you're up to it , viejo ? ❞

‘¿en serio? solo estaba viendo cómo estabas. siendo un buen amigo. ¿a quién llamas viejo?’

his fingers gently flex in rocky's hand. a combination of his words and the expression on his face was doing the frog in. though willingly.

and of course, that nickname–

pizza is happily abandoned on his plate after wiping fingers clean , in favor of wrapping his arms around the frog to pull him flush against him - cheeks lifting in an easy grin as he butts their foreheads together . ❝ jodo saranghaeyo , jageun gaeguriyo . ❞ 

having jason back was like getting back a part of himself that tommy hadn't even really realized was missing . especially after the letter kimberly had sent him - of which he still actually needs to bring up to jason . he's just . . . trying not to think about it because it still stings , for several reasons . ❝ missed you too , man . felt weird not having you here . ❞

jason won't bring it up, that’s for tommy to do. but he's aware. and he's thankful that the bear had.

‘felt weird not bein’ here.’ he agrees. ‘like a part of me was missin’, crazy as that sounds.’

minye tips his head back more without meaning to , can't help it when he's got a pretty crane littering him in kisses . ❝ it's starting to , ❞ he hums with a crooked grin .
