In which Sky feels funny...
[For
spd_red but anyone who wants to play with a loopy Sky is more then welcome. Also, feel free to change the setting if you like.]
Looking back on the fight, Sky didn't remember getting hit with anything. Sure, he got some of the alien's weird smelling smoke to the face but he thought his shields had blocked most of it to the point that he hadn't even worried.
And even later, he still didn't think anything was wrong. In fact...he felt pretty darn good. He felt loose and relaxed and he couldn't wipe the happy smile off his face.
That should have been anyone's first clue that something was wrong.
The second was the fact that he was sitting in the common room, attempting to have pleasant conversations with everyone in the room. At least those who would talk to the Blue Ranger who usually only talked to his teammates. And was still beaming.

[I'll pull away in a moment to investigate, but for now have a distracted:] Mm?

[so I can give you more attention-]
[whoa]
[swallows] I'm gonna have to move, Sky. Can't shove you up against the wall all day.
no subject
[It would have sounded like a small child's pout except for the fact Sky hadn't moved from pressing against Jack or speaking up close.]
no subject
[gentle] Because someone'll see.
[pulling back off you is about the hardest thing I've ever done]
And because you'll be really embarrassed later, if someone saw you like this with me.
no subject
Who cares if anyone sees? I don't.
[Later, he would refuse to even talk about this. But right now, Jack was getting a full pout as he pulled away. Thankfully, he felt too lucid to protest but he did keep hold of Jack's hand.]
Why would I be embarrassed to be seen with you? I like you Jack.
no subject
[a laugh, open and appreciative]
I like you, too, Sky. But you don't like me so much normally. And you're gonna be embarrassed enough about all this.
[I don't believe in the slightest that you actually LIKE like me in the normal way of things. I believe you like me as a friend, kinda. It has to be whatever's messing with you.]
no subject
[He really was out of it for that fact that he really didn't notice anything was wrong. And Jack would be surprise how honest Sky was being at this very moment..]
no subject
[imagine having to protect pissy you from the nice things you're saying right now]
[not that I don't like pissy you; in fact I like him a lot, and I wouldn't want you to never ever be your pissy self, but sheesh]
[yeah, I'd be very surprised to learn that you're being that honest, instead of it being "I suppose you're okay and sometimes I like you plus whee I'm basically drugged to the gills"]
That's good. C'mon, let's see the boys.
no subject
Since Dru left.
But now Sky just grinned, his attention on something else now.]
Yes! Let's go see Bridge and Boom. I want to see what they are working on. [Which usually only gets a polite interest. Now it's cool.]
no subject
[double take at that]
[amused] Okay. Just stay behind me in case there's another explosion, yeah?
[shall we timeskip?]
no subject
[The reply to Jack's protectiveness had just been a light roll of his eyes (the most Sky like thing he'd done in hours) and a tug on Jack's hand.
A little while, numerous tests and a trip to the infirmary later, it was determined that Sky was fine, just suffering from the effect of the smoke blown in his face, which besides making him basically high, had no real side effects. It would wear off in a little while on it's own.
Really, Sky didn't see what the big deal was. He felt great!]
You'll have dinner with me, right Jack?
[It was asked innocently and without thought as they walked away from the infirmary.]
no subject
It's a date.
[said with unthinking cheerfulness, followed by a blush and a half]
no subject
A date? [He liked this idea and beamed at Jack.] A date! Let's go on a date. I like this idea. [Pause] Why are you blushing?
no subject
[wry, self-deprecating, absolutely no blame attached to you whatsoever] Because I have some idea of how much you'd hate this normally. So let's eat in your room, okay? Or we can go to mine if you're worried about Bridge coming in smelling of smoke.
no subject
no subject
That's not a -- [misses a step, nearly walks into the wall]
Yeah, sure, you're right. The food slot in my room's been working okay lately, since Bridge had a go at it, though he did superpower it kinda. We can just get something once we get there.
no subject
[Doesn't think twice about taking Jack's hand again.] How's the pizza? I think I'm in the mood for pizza.
no subject
[squeezes back automatically, liking the warmth of your hand]
Pizza's not bad. If you don't mind picking marshmallows off it first.
no subject
Why would you pick them off? Marshmallows might taste great on pizza! I don't know, I've never tried it, have you?
no subject
[snorts] I could try it. Though if I blow up or something, I'm gonna tell Cruger to bill the carpet cleaning to you.
...you first.
no subject
We can try it after dinner! After we try this marshmallow pizza.
no subject
[laughing, opening the door to my room]
That's the spirit. If we're gonna end up with messy Jack-shaped chunks all over my room, we might as well enjoy ourselves first.
C'mon in.
no subject
[Walks in and takes an eager look around.] I've never been in your room. It's very homey. I like it.
no subject
...okay, I'll be positive.
[snorts, looking around; it's mostly fairly bare as I'm not used to having a lot of possessions. Bed's messy but clean. Couple shirts slung carelessly over the back of a chair. But I did spend a little money on getting a decent bed and a (small) decent table and chairs set]
