It's A Twin Thing (Power Rangers AU)

Chapter Three - The Beach

The Saturday afternoon sun of Angel Grove was strong and hot, beaming down on the coast relentlessly, the beach was busy, littered with different colored parasols, families bunched together building sandcastle, sun worshippers laying in the rays coated in lotion, the smell of BBQ drifting on the wind and the sound of laughter and games being played in the air. You stepped onto the warm sand, bending down to slide off your sneakers and stepping carefully past the rows of loungers and scantily clad bathers soaking up the sun, you looked around through the lens of your blue-tinted sunglasses, trying to spot a familiar face among the crowd. When you were unsuccessful you walked closer towards the shore and found a small, spare spot and dropped your belongings down, you dug your parasol into the sand and tugged your beach towel out of the bag, laying it down, you quickly slipped off your shorts and pulled off your t-shirt to reveal your swimsuit underneath and sat down, stretching your legs out with a hum. You reached into your bag and took out your iPod, plugging one earphone in and rolling up your clothes to form a makeshift pillow, you pressed play and lay back, shifting on the ground to get comfortable and closing your eyes.

After a short while, you felt a soft thud in the sand and jolted at the sensation, looking around

"Look at you in your swimsuit" Billy grinned as he looked down at you, the sea water dripping from his curls, down his bare chest and onto his stomach, his surfboard laying in the sand just behind him

"And look at you in yours" you beamed back, peeking over the top of your glasses at him in his board shorts, damp and clinging to his tanned thighs

He chuckled and slumped down on the ground next to you, the sand sticking to his wet skin as he stretched out

"This beach bum look, I dig it" he said as his eyes ran up your body and he smiled

"Are people still saying dig?" you asked him sarcastically with a grin

"I do" he said as he ran his hand through his hair, pushing it from his face

You sat up slowly and grabbed your bag, dragging it over and you began rummaging around inside

"I brought you something" you sang as he raised his eyebrows

"Oh yeah?"

"Mhm" you nodded as you pulled out 2 bottles of Budweiser and grinned at him

"My savior, are they cold?" he cheered as he outstretched his hand towards you

"Cold-ish, I managed to swipe them from the fridge" you explained as you passed him one

You watched as he twisted the cap off with his teeth and spat the bottle lid into the sand before taking a drink

"Billy! You brute!" you complained with a sigh as you stood up, you walked over to the cap and bent over to pick it up, tsking at him as you walked back to your towel

"You shouldn't litter" you scalded with a smile

"If I get to see you bend over in that swimsuit again, I'd drop shit all over this beach" Billy charmed as he held the bottle lip near his mouth

"That's a terrible thing to say" you laughed as you opened your beer, taking a long drink before you pulled out a bottle of sunscreen, you squeezed some out into your palm and started smearing it on your legs, rubbing it into your thighs slowly.

You heard Billy grunt quietly and glanced up, he was watching your hands intently, his teeth digging into his bottom lip and a slow grin creeping across his cheeks, you cleared your throat in an obvious manner and he flicked his gaze to your face, sucking on his teeth and looking away, taking a sip of his drink. You watched behind your shades as he side glanced at you, studying the way you massaged the lotion into the skin of your inner thigh
