“Not a word. I‘m done laying around.“
“Then sit.”
Ezra/Avery 🥰
These two have an incredibly interesting dynamic. I think it's because they've been together for so long? Grew up together and all that, y'know?
Ezra Tennet is my character, he is the son of Doctor K from RPM, and he is the Cinema Action Copper Western Ranger.
Avery Grover is Estel's, the daughter to Dillon and Ziggy Grover. She is the Cinema Action Rangers' tech.

Ezra is a biologist. His course load and part-time job take up a lot of his time. And like his mother, Ezra finds it difficult to take breaks without being told or made to. Usually, it's not a problem. As a teen, it was easier to work through without them. His mother took on more work as he got older and, since she wasn't in the polycule with the rest of the RPM Rangers, Ezra didn't have three other parental figures to answer to.
Now that he's in college and has a polycule of his own, however, Ezra has three people who want him to take care of himself. And that's not an easy ask when the course work isn't getting lighter and the fate of the world is at stake.
Avery Grover, one of Ezra's longest held lovers, is a total sweetheart. She's sweet, kind, and always happy to lend a hand when Ezra needs a second pair. While it takes her longer to work through her own emotions, that doesn't make them any less capable of expressing said emotions.
Currently, Ezra's getting the full force of a less-than-thrilled expression because Ezra was told to take a break an hour ago, and he'd said he would, then didn't.
Thing is, Ezra had been sick the past week, and he's so tired of sitting around and doing nothing. Ezra looks up at his tech and shifts, watching her watch him. "Ezra," Avery says softly. "Come take a break," she asks again.
Ezra decides to try for playful and see if that gets him off the hook. "Oh, not a word," he teases, knowing he's had to come get his Wires more than once when she worked through her own break times. "I'm through layin' around."
Avery doesn't hear the teasing bit at first, which is fine by Ezra. He doesn't mind. "Then sit," she offers instead. "You don't have to lay down to relax with me."
Well, who is Ezra to turn down such a sweetly given offer? "Alright, alright," he says, climbing off his ladder. "I'm coming, wires."
Avery smiles, a small thing, and nods.
