Chapter 3: Ken
Akihiko paced back and forth trying to figure out a way to get Theodore to break up with Minako.
"Uh Sanada, not to be rude but I really don't think Theodore would ever break up with Minako."
Akihiko stopped pacing and turned to Ken.
"Hmm, you know what. I think your right. I mean what guy would ever wanna break up with a girl like her."
He plopped down on the couch next to Ken.
"So now what, am I supposed to just give up on her?"
"Yes." thought Ken because he of course wanted Minako to himself. But he wouldn't dare mention this to Akihiko for fear of being kicked out or worse he could be assaulted by the boxing champ and then kicked out.
The two had been living in an apartment together ever since Akihiko graduated from high school and went off to college. Akihiko didn't want Ken to end up alone so decided to take him in.
"If I can't get Theodore to break up with her then she'll have to break up with him. He wasn't all that impressive anyway. I mean not to sound full of myself but I am the best boxer at my college and just like in high school I've still got a fan club. Any girl would be more than happy to have me. Even Minako..."
Ken rolled his eyes then got up.
"I have something to do so if you don't mind I'll be going."
Akihiko grabbed Ken by the collar. Ken flinched.
"Your not going to see Minako are you?"
"Uh...well...N-no. I was just going to the shrine."
Akihiko was still very suspicious of Ken but let him go.
"Don't stay out too late."
"Yes Sanada." said Ken before running out the door.
"Phew...now to meet up with Minako." he thought.
All along Ken had planned to meet up with Minako. Even though Minako had a boyfriend she assured Ken that they were still friends and could hang out whenever. Ken of course took full advantage of the offer. After all he was just a kid, a lonely kid that wanted a family. A lonely kid that wanted a family and was more than willing to bring up that sad topic to get what he wanted and what he wanted was Minako.
"I hate having to play the lonely kid card since I don't want Minako to think of me as a kid but if I want to get closer to Minako than the others can I'll have to use my age to my advantage rather than see it as a disadvantage." thought Ken who was currently standing outside of the shrine waiting for Minako.
"Hi Ken!" shouted Minako running up to Ken and pulling him into a big hug.
"H-hi Minako." said Ken blushing like crazy.
Minako released Ken.
"You know Ken I was really worried that me and you were growing further apart but now I see that we're not. That really makes me relieved and happy."
"You and me could never grow apart. Even if Theodore or Akihiko tried to take you away from me I'd kick them in the shins."
Minako laughed not noticing the evil look on Ken's face.
"Hey Minako what do you see in Theodore anyway?"
"Huh?"
"What do you see in him? Why are you two going out?"
"Well he's cute and nice and a good guy."
"Oh...Well Minako do you think I'm nice?"
"Of course."
"And I'm a good guy too right?"
"You wouldn't hurt a fly."
"Wha-what about cute?"
"Absolutely adorable."
Minako ruffled Ken's hair.
"Soo I'm practically the same as your boyfriend in a way."
"In a way yeah."
"Soo..."
Ken's whole mood changed as he backed Minako into a wall.
"Uh Ken?" nervously said Minako trying to get away.
Ken immediately slammed his hand against the wall blocking her way. She looked for another way out but Ken merely just slammed his other hand against the wall.
"Uh...sooo is this some kind of game...Cuz I don't think I like it very much. Hey I know how about we go down the slide and-"
Ken started crying.
"Why Minako?"
"Huh?"
"Why aren't I good enough for you? Is it because I'm just a kid?"
"Ken no, your plenty good. And your not just a kid. Please don't cry." said Minako trying to wipe his tears away.
Ken dropped both of his hands to his sides. "Don't lie to me, please don't lie to me. You just see me as a kid."
"Ken your not just a kid. Your a strong, kind, caring slowly but surely developing man."
Minako pulled Ken in for a hug.
"A man?"
"Yeah a man."
Minako kissed Ken on the forehead.
Ken blushed.
Minako then started to release Ken but stopped when she realized Ken wasn't ready to let go.
"Just a little longer. Can we stay like this for just a little longer?"
"Of course, we can stay here all night if you want."
The moon shined bright and cold air filled the night.
"Uh...Ken it's getting kinda late and I'm cold."
"Just a little longer."
"Uh...okay."
Author's note: Ken's crying was supposed to be fake but I couldn't find a part in the story to tell you that his crying was fake so I'll put it this way. Whether or not his crying was fake is up to you. By the way just so you know I am a fan of Minako/Ken. It's cute. And his scenes are just too adorable. I mean you got this little kid trying to be man for the sake of his crush. Too cute. And sorry for the short chapters but shorter chapters makes for a easier to update story and I'm trying to type up a bunch of chapters before I upload them cuz then I can update quicker and keep on top of this story. Cuz I have a bad habit of quitting fan fics. Haha...
