A/N: Took me long enough to answer this one, lol, according to tumblr you sent it in 2021. But we're here now so here you go! Lol Also, I immediately thought of a lighter piece of this ages ago, but when writing it now a bit more of a somber yet peaceful note took it's place. So it's a bit unorthodox of the usual thought of "encouragement" is.

A/N: I also didn't tag anyone in this because I'm going to tag them when I reblog it from my PR tumblr account.

Avalon reached out and gently stroked her fingers across Billy’s cheek. Tender and affectionate. All the while she studied his relaxed face, relaxed after finally finally falling asleep. The worry had eased from between his eyebrows, the hashness of his jaw had lessened.

He breathed softly as he lay next to her, cheek pressed into the rolled back sleeve of his dress shirt. His tie had been discarded the moment he hit the front door after the service, immediately breaking away from his father’s grief to combat his own.

She’d simply followed Billy to his room, stretching out on the bed next to him, tucking her black dress around her knees. Briefly having the thought that it was strange to see herself and her brightly colored friends in the monochromatic dress code. As if Rita had finally found a way to pull the plug on their happiness and watch it swirl down the drain with glee.

Avalon tucked her body closer to Billy’s, watching as his eyelashes fluttered, eyes twitching beneath the lids. Something about REM sleep, Billy’d rattled off on a tangent about it once before, side-stepping their almost daily bickering of him drinking coffee as a breakfast and her staying up all night.

All at once, his eyes flew open and he sucked in a sharp breath, startling Avalon so badly in the moment that she nearly put her fist through his nose. Surprised to find her hand extended, Billy looked at her, working to take in deep, calming breaths.

Slowly, the blue ranger grasped her hand and pulled it forward, placing it against the fabric of his dress shirt, against his chest where his heart thudded; sprinting as fast as his wolf zord could pound the pavement.

Avalon looked at him expectantly, for once not having a smart thing to say to lighten the mood. Didn’t have a snarky remark that would make him roll his eyes and laugh. It wouldn’t have been the right time for it. Instead, she watched him, watched his dilated pupils shine with the tears that worked its way up as the seconds passed.

He pressed his larger hand over hers, holding it firmly against his chest.

She could feel him shaking.

He was scared, she realized.

The orange ranger moved closer to him, her breath over his face, his over hers. She leaned in. Her lips met his and his world was okay again, she could feel his heartbeat slow as his shoulders relaxed.

A set of questions from @oc-lub and it made sense, for me, to post it all here so that it didn’t clog up their discord server.

1. How did they meet? Was it cute or awkward? Did it start out as friendship?

Billy and Avalon first met in school. It was neither cute nor awkward as he didn’t want to approach her beacuse of her standoffish attitude (it wasn’t until Kim made her and her friends go over and introduce themselves to Av, who was the new kid at the time, that they first spoke) and Avalon shut them down. She didn’t want them around her at all.

2. What did they do for a first date? Who asked who out?

Their first date, sort of, was when they were watching the fireworks after taking down Ivan Ooze. Afterwards, it was Billy asking Av is she wanted to go to the planetarium. If I remember correctly, he asked her out.

3. What is their favourite trait in the other, physically and personality-wise?

Av loves Billy’s intelligence and want to learn the most of everything while Billy loves her passion. However, it is always a trait they dislike about each other as it does get the best of them at times. Physically, Av loves Billy’s eyes while Billy loves her hair.

4. What about their least favourite trait, physically and personality-wise?

Answered above.

5. What was their first or most memorable fight about? Do they get personal during arguments?

Their first fight was about Avalon’s being a member of the Vipers and how he doesn’t understand why she can’t just like and she can’t see that she’s only bringing more trouble to herself when she thinks they protect each other. They don’t get personal during arguments, they argue about the facts of what they’re arguing about.

6. Do they have a lot of hobbies in common? What about friends in common?

They both like to play chess, otherwise, they don’t have very many hobbies in common. The other rangers are their friends in common, otherwise, Avalon has friends before she moved to Angel Grove that she still has and Billy has the people in the science club?

7. How do they spend Valentine's day? Does one of them plan it, or do they plan together? Do they do gifts?

They don’t do too much for Valentine’s Day. They plant flowers in honor of Billy’s mother and they get each other gifts, but the only thing they really do is spend quiet time together...unless they’re all going out to celebrate Kim’s birthday since, of course, that was the day she was born, lol.

8. If they broke up, how would they both cope? Would they be likely to get back together or move on?

They broke up for a long while and they don’t deal with it well. Avalon jumps into another relationship and Billy sticks to himself, even pulling away from thier friends. They are very likely to get back together once they’re older and able to see how they both were a catalyst in their breakup.

9. What is their opinion of each other's families? When did they first introduce each other?

Billy loves Bailey, but doesn’t get to see Ellie, Av’s and Bay’s mom, a lot since she lives so far away. But he enjoyed her company, she’s quiet like him. Captain Mitchell, he only has a working relationship with. The Olivers, on the other hand, are parents to him, though he doesn’t really know them as well either. And Av loves David and Lacey, growing very close to Lacey. They were introduced when just hanging around each other and their friends and through rangering.

10. Are they the type to get married? If so, how would it look? What about kids?

A/N: Just so everyone knows, for all of this, I’m too damn lazy to make edits for all of these, So I stuck in random gifs that make sense with the ship.

10. Who remembers what the other gets at a restaurant?

Billy. He remembers Av’s exact order because she’s a creature of habit and she doesn’t like to change very often in terms of what’s comfortable for her. You saw how she was with the rangers changing people so often, what makes you think she’ll want to change her order at all? Lol

16. Who wants to stay in bed a little bit longer?

Av. As early as she gets up, she enjoys staying cuddled up in bed as long as possible. It doesn’t even have to be a romantic thing, she likes cuddling wit her sister in bed as well.

18. Who leaves little notes in the other’s one lunch? (Bonus: what does it usually say?)

Av leaves them for Billy and they almost always say something along the lines of, “Coffee isn’t breakfast” and adds something else for him to eat that will take over what he would’ve had if he only drank coffee for breakfast.

26. What would be their theme song?

I have no idea. I really don’t think of songs/playlists to go along with ships. There are some that remind me of them, sure. But it’s not anything I’d immediately attribute to being their theme.

29. One headcanon about this OTP  that breaks your heart?

After Zeo, they don’t talk to each other for about ten years despite often thinking about each other.

30. one headcanon about this OTP that mends it?

I love them both

I love them.

I missed writing them.

I missed writing PR.

I have too many story ideas

Billy and Avalon have a pretty low-key wedding. All their ranger friends are there and of course the people that learn their secret over the years. They're not ones for the big lavish wedding, but I will say its a but interesting how their wedding comes about.

Also; *SPOILER* Av proposes to Billy

3. Who compliments the other in front of everyone?

Avilly - Very similar to Bailey, she complements Billy all the time. But Billy is so earnest with his complements that it makes Av’s heart melt every time.

Jayley - Bailey complements him all the time. But he doesn’t seem to notice it. They’re complements that she can easily play off as just being nice so it’s not so weird if he doesn’t reciprocate to her flirting with him through it.

Antonio/Lauren - Antonio flirts with and complements Lauren all the time and it makes Jayden a bit uncomfortable and overprotective.

5. When one of them has a bad day, what does the other do to help cheer them up? 

Avilly - Billy listens to her vent and that’s really all she needs, just for someone to listen to her. She always feels much better and cheerful afterwards. Billy, on the other hand, freezes people out when he has a bad day. And the only way that Av can break into his shell and cheer him up is when she makes dinner for him. He tends to forget to eat and it really shows she cares, especially when she (not the best cook) makes his favorite food for him.

Jayley - Simple; they just hug each other. No matter how long the hug needs to last. They hug and they feel better after.

Antonio/Lauren - Antonio rarely has a bad day, but when he does, Lauren goes and takes him fishing, looking up the newest and best places to go so he’ll be excited about them.

6. If they got to pick what one another wears for a day, what would one another wear?

Avilly - Avalon has Billy wearing what he wore in the MMPR movie more often. (Not just because I love that outfit). And Billy would have Av dress a bit more conservatively, not entirely liking how much skin she shoes.

Jayley - Nothing. Jayden likes the way Bailey dresses and Bailey likes the way Jayden dresses. The only thing is that she continuously hounds him to cut his hair throughout the samurai season.
