Today was a neutral day, sure, he was completely ignored for about 99.9% of
the time but he was used to that. Ken sighed. He almost preferred the
0.1% that he was being yelled at, of course, that was practically the only
attention he got. Back when it was only his group, Weiss, working at their
flower shop, and night missions, it had been a better. Why he occasionally
got a glance or a glare! Or even a few comments! But now, things had
changed. About a year ago, Kricketer (the organization he and the others
had worked for) had been disbanded, releasing them all to the winds, but
the boys had stuck together. It had gone on for a few months like this,
when the got a nasty shock. Their archrivals, called Shwarz, had come out
of the woodworks instead of being dead like they were supposed to be.
The four former Este members had come with an odd proposal, a merger of the two groups. Well, needless to say this idea had met with some stiff resistance. Mainly form Youji, Ran and himself. Omi had been curiously less vocal about the issue. However, an insane rogue agent who was hunting them down did inadvertently prove to the 3 reluctant assassins that the two groups come work together. Quite well infact. That had all ended 2 months ago, and now they were all living together.
The brunette leaned back on the headboard on his bed. All those memories were making it hard to keep up his happy façade. Time for some entertainment. Ken got up and walked over to a chair beside the window. Behind it was a cardboard box. He smiled one of those unconsciously innocent childlike smiles that made him seem younger then Omi. He moved the box onto the bed, picking up one of the precious objects it contained. It was an Omi plushy, complete with shorts and a mini bow and arrow.
He had made plushies of his friends back in the flower shop, and when he had gotten used to having Shwarz around, he made some of them too. Ken quickly grabbed the Nagi plushy and put it by the Omi one. They got depressed if you separated them for too long. Much like the real boys actually. This made him pause in happy/envious thought. You see, this was why the smaller blonde was more agreeable to the merger then the others. He and Nagi had accidentally met on their off time and connected, though, neither would explain what exactly had happened. He sighed. "Lucky…" He'd been watching them today. At first, he'd been a bit apprehensive, I mean, sleeping with the enemy? However, if you just watched them, they were really rather cute.
Anyway, Omi had been hyper affectionate today, always glomping onto this darker companion, much to the poor boys embarrassment. Ken had a feeling the telekinetic didn't really mind that much though. So, that's how he arranged the two plushies. He had made the hands have Velcro stitched on them, so it made it quiet easy to fasten and make stay. He paused to inspect his handy work and then turned to the rest of the pluishies.
The Farfie one was almost as easy as the Nagi and Omi plushies. He was content to just sit near the others, with in flopping distance of course. Now for the last four. The hardest of the lot to arrange just fight for the day. This was so, because the "alliances" between Ran, Youji, Crawford and Schuldrich were always changing. Today for example, it had ended up as Crawford comforting Schu after he and Ran had gotten into a fight. This being so, Ken carefully aligned the plushies with the red heads on either end, with the other two between them. He chuckled and poked the tiny Aya- chan doll the Ran plushy always carried.
"I guess its true about what they say about red hair and massive tempers. Boy did sparks fly…" He sighed, "What do you think they were arguing about?" he asked all his plushies. The soccer player sat quietly for a moment (which you would think unusual if you knew him, for he was almost constantly moving around) as if listening to an answer, and then continued. "Maybe you're right, it's not that important."
Ken was starting to feel his previous funk mood going away now that he was talking to people that he didn't have to constantly work to keep their attention on him once in a while. He sniffed the air and visibly brightened even more.
"Hey! Someone's cooking, I'm gonna go see if I can score some chow. See you guys later!" he cried as he rushed out of the room, leaving the carefully arranged dolls to their own devices.
