Chapter 14
"Ken...?"
"Yeah Yolei...?"
Yolei shifted in her spot on the blanket. She and Ken were currently up on top of Ken's building, watching the stars. Both laid across the blue blanket next to each other.
"Ken...I think we need to move our relation up a notch" she said softly. Ken turned his head to look at her wide eyed.
'What?' thought Ken. 'Isn't our relationship moving fast enough?'
"What do you mean?" asked Ken uncertainly.
"I mean...Okay. See...Kari and I went to see a movie yesterday...it was a romantic movie about two people in love. And I saw the way their relationship was going and I thought to myself while I was watching it...I want that..." Yolei explained.
"Want what?" ventured Ken.
"Movie Love" was the reply.
"Movie Love?" Ken repeated.
"Yeah. See, the couple is always kissing and hugging and being real lovey dovey and stuff and Ken...I want you to do that with me. is that okay? Or are you not ready?"
"I...I'll have to think about that Yolei..."
"She wants me to be more 'lovey dovey'!" cried Ken as he put his head in his hands. "She wants our relationship to be more 'Movie Love' like!"
TK clucked his tongue as he shook his head. "Oh...I've been there. Kari wanted the exact same thing a while back. She got over it though."
The guys, Davis, TK, and Ken, were currently hanging out at Davis'.
Ken looked up at TK desperately. "Yeah...so what'd you do about it?"
TK shrugged. "Gave her what she wanted" he replied. he looked to see Ken's confused face and decided to explain himself a little more. "Listen, if you want a girl to stay with you, you've gotta give her what she wants. Girls are strange. They're picky. Never happy with what they've got. So, you gotta make them believe in you, make them think that you're willing to go the distance for her." Ken nodded. "Are you willing to go the distance for her? Is Yolei really that special to you? Is she worth it?"
ken leaned back in his chair and thought for several minutes. He then looked up at TK and answered, "Yeah. She is worth it. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me."
"Then give her what she wants! Give her 'Movie Love'. Be more romantic, give her kisses and roses. Do it for her" said TK.
"Are you guys done talking about all that love crap?" Davis' voice butted in. TK and Ken looked over to see Davis kicking a soccer ball on his knee with Patamon, Wormmon, and Veemon watching happily.
Ken smiled. He would do it for her.
Yolei turned the page to her book and was just about to start reading when someone kissed her.
She yelped.
Ken pulled back just in time to miss getting slapped in the face.
"H-Hi Yolei" greeted Ken nervously.
Yolei looked up and saw that it was only Ken.
"Oh Ken! Geez! Talk about giving a girl a heart attack!" she cried.
Ken bowed his head in shame. "I'm sorry Yolei, I was only trying to be more romantic, like Movie Love, or that stuff you were talking about the other day" Ken said.
"Oh..." Yolei blushed. "Sorry, I just wasn't used to that was all."
"Well, I won't do it anymore if you're going to act like that. I just wanted to show you that I loved you."
"Ken...That's so sweet...Say, we're in the park...let's go for a walk..."
"Okay..." replied ken, and with that they began to walk.
"So...you really were just trying to be more romantic?" inquired Yolei after several minutes of walking and holding hands.
Ken shrugged. "Well...yeah...even the idiot Kaiser has a heart enough to do that."
"Wow...Did you just make fun of your past?" marveled Yolei.
"I think I did just that" chuckled Ken. His chuckle was cut short though, for his lungs suddenly lost all air. Ken grabbed his chest, taking deep longs breaths, his eyes wide with fright and shock. Pain filled his chest.
"Ken? Ken? Are you okay?" cried Yolei, kneeling next Ken as he fell to the ground.
"Pain..." moaned Ken, his eyes closing shut.
"Ken! Ken! Please Ken! Get up! We have to get you to the hospital!"
Yolei stood and whipped out her D-3. She turned it on, praying someone was on. Someone was. Joe!
Joe,
Come quick! Ken's having problems breathing! We're in the park! Hurry!
Yolei
Yolei sent it, praying Joe wasn't in school taking a test somewhere or was busy. Ken was still trying to catch his breath when she was done, and before she could kneel down beside him again, he fainted.
"Yolei..." he sighed.
Ken woke up, not for the first time, in a white room. White walls, ceiling, pillows, blankets. he hated that there was no color to be seen.
"Ken! My baby!" he heard his mother cry.
Ken sat up, rubbing his eyes. he moaned as his chest ached. Bandages were covered all over his torso.
"Hello Ken. Just relax, you'll be fine, said Joe as he came into view.
His blue hair in his face. "You're lucky today was my off day at school. Yolei e-mailed me and as soon as I got the message, I came straight away. I called your parents after were put a breathing tube in you. You weren't breathing on your own, but your fine now, so we took it out. You starting breathing again about three hours ago."
Ken nodded, making the room dizzy. He froze and raised a hand up to his head, to feel nothing but a head full of long blue hair. He sighed with relief. He didn't want to have to go through that again.
Joe laughed, seeing what Ken had done. "No Ken, it didn't fall out."
Ken closed his eyes and leaned back as his mother ran her hand through his hair. His father sat on the other side of the bed, holding his hand.
He smiled, and before he went back to sleep he whispered, "Thanks Joe."
