The attention span of the average teenager is 13-14 minutes. For Hunter, it was about 3 minutes. The way he got bored so easily amazed Cam sometimes, but right now… it was annoying the hell out of him.
"Boooooooring."
Cam rolled his eyes and ignored the Crimson Ranger, his fingers hastily typing on the keyboard, a small trace of irritation in his eyes.
"Boooooooring!"
"Will you shut up?"
"Awe, come on Cam! It's our day off and we're supposed to be having fun, and I meant my kind of fun, like go out and play arcade games, not stay in and code."
"These upgrades need to get done."
"Those upgrades always need to get done." Hunter moved to stand behind Cam, "it's not healthy to stay indoors all the time."
Cam rubbed his forehead and turned in his chair, "you know, there is an advantage to staying in…"
Hunter's lips quirked into a grin, "oh?"
"…But you'll have to wait," Cam spun his chair back towards the computer.
Hunter groaned, "I hate you at times."
Biting back a sarcastic comment, Cam shrugged his shoulders and resumed his work on the computer. The room slipped into silence whilst Hunter took to pacing back and forth behind Cam, his footsteps filling the room.
"Will you stop doin' that?"
Hunter grinned and carried on pacing, "nope, not until we do something fun!"
"Your fun, or my fun?"
"You've never told me your definition of fun…"
"Well, it doesn't involve going out and playing arcade games, that's for sure."
Hunter leant down, his arms slipping around the Samurai's chest, "well? What does it involve…?"
Cam shivered at the feel of Hunter's breath on his neck, trying desperately to keep his focus on the screen ahead of him. "Hunter," he warned, "I'm trying to do this…"
"Tell me, what was CyberCam made for?"
"To let me live a social life…" Cam said, and then shut his mouth quickly; he'd just fallen into Hunter's trap.
"Then let's go!" Hunter said, pulling away. He grinned and grabbed Cam's hand, pulling him off the chair.

Cam glanced at his watch, he'd left Ops exactly three hours and twenty-three minutes ago. He looked around the arcade; it was full with spotty teenagers and loud noise. Rubbing the bridge of his nose, he watched Hunter bounce around the arcade like a three year old at Christmas.
"Cam!"
Cam jumped and spun on his heel, Hunter was standing right behind him, grinning. "What?" He asked. "Hunter, can we go now?"
"Nope, not until you go on something."
"How about the car home?"
"Ok, that's not funny." Hunter grabbed his hand, and for the second time that day, he dragged the Samurai away.
Hunter skidded to a halt, Cam managed to side step him before he bashed into his back. "Hunter?"
"That!" Hunter smirked, "we'll go home.. once you've been on that."
Cam raised an eyebrow and tilted his head to where Hunter was pointed, then groaned. "No."
But Hunter had already made the decision for him; he bounded over to the dance machine, currently unoccupied. He got on one of the platforms and motioned Cam over to the second.
"I'm going to regret this, I can tell." Cam muttered and he walked towards the machine, purposely taking his time with it.
Hunter rolled his eyes, and grabbed his arm, hauling him onto the next platform he started the machine up. "Come on Cam, lighten up!" He complained. As the music started, Cam watched the arrows as they appeared, sliding up the screen.
"Here goes nothing," Cam said dryly as he allowed himself to get into the beat.
Hunter watched him out the corner of his eye, knowing the whole routine off by heart anyway, it gave the Thunder Ninja the advantage. Allowing him to watch the Samurai carefully as he also perfected each move.
"Lucky go," Hunter muttered as Cam was announced the winner. His face darkened for a moment then smirked, "best two out of three?"
"Nice try," Cam hopped off the machine and pulled out the car keys.
"Please?"
"No," Cam replied and headed out the busy arcade.
"Boring," Hunter muttered and followed him anyway, not wanting to be stuck alone.

"Ya know, you never told me your idea of fun." Hunter pointed out simply as he followed Cam back into Ninja Ops.
"So?"
"So.. It's only right that you tell me."
Cam walked over to the computer, tapping a command in quickly, he allowed a grin to spread onto his lips. "Well.. Let's just say it's something better shown."
"Ok, now I'm curious."
Cam glanced back at Hunter, his eyes slightly darker, "it's a far cry from arcade games.."
"How far?"
"Just down the hall, into the room with the green door."
Hunter smirked, getting the message loud and clear, "what about the rules?"
"Dad isn't here, the other Rangers are off doing whatever it is they do. We're alone.."
"Now this sounds fun," Hunter replied.
"You have no idea," Cam replied lightly, turning he walked away.
Hunter watched him in admiration for a moment before grinning and jogging after him.
