When Ken awakened and found himself on an unfamiliar couch, he panicked. Then he heard a sweet voice calling to him and remembered the night before.
"Morning, Jun," he yawned, stretching and smoothing the wrinkles out of his shirt. "Thanks for letting me stay here. You sure Jinpei won't-"
"Jinpei won't what?"
"Oh, no!" Jun groaned as she ran into the sitting room of the apartment. "He wasn't supposed to be awake for another hour."
"So what's this I hear about you staying on our couch, big brother?" Jinpei asked. "I mean, I know you two had a thing for each other, but-"
"Nothing happened!" Ken and Jun shouted in unison.
"Well, we kissed." Jun crossed her arms over her chest. "Ken came over last night, confessed his love to me, and we kissed."
"Right." Ken stood up and wrapped an arm around her. "Now, Jinpei, I know the relationship between your sister and I is hardly a secret among the team."
"Boy, you've got that right," Jinpei laughed.
"But Ken and I want to decide when we'll tell everyone we're...well, official," Jun said. "So if I hear you've been blabbing about us to the whole ISO, you'll be doing the dishes at the Snack J for two months. Got it?"
Jinpei sighed.
"Boy, sis, you drive a hard bargain. All right, my lips are sealed," he said. "But I hope you decide to tell them before the first baby shows up!"
"Jinpei!!"
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Man, can't you take a joke?"
As they opened the Snack J that morning, Ken made a mental note to buy some condoms...just in case.
