LOVE HIM – Ken96
The silence hung over their hideout like a heavy blanket, occasionally broken by the sharp 'pop' of Ken's bubble gum snapping. Chrome sat quietly, her fingers gripping the trident, worrying away at the metal. She wished Chikusa was there, too. It would make things feel a lot less awkward.
Chrome glanced up, her eye locking onto the profile of Ken's face. His wild blonde hair and its numerous clips. His eyes, the scar crossing the bridge of his nose, and his mouth that kept moving, sharp teeth that chewed and chewed the bubble gum before pursing outwards to blow a bubble. The pink rubbery, substance then exploded with a 'pop', splashing onto Ken's nose and chin. His mouth moved again, tongue sticking out to wrap around the gum and pull it back into his mouth.
His eyes jolted around then, the feeling of being watched growing big enough to garner his attention. He saw Chrome and scowled at her, shoulder shifting upwards protectively.
"What?" He asked rudely. Chrome gave a small smile and shook her head, lowering it until she was staring at her lap.
"Nothing…" She murmured, and Ken gave a snort before resuming his attentive chewing of his bubble gum. Chrome smiled lightly again, her gaze flicking upwards for a moment, noticing the slight tint on Ken's cheeks. He knew what 'nothing' really was.
Chrome just smiled to herself, and let her fingers continue worrying away at the metal. There was time now, and there was time for the future. She loved him, and she could wait.
