SITTING ALONE YOU were currently thinking how to come up with a plan on how to deal with the KDF, maybe they could just have the young kaiju return to her home with her mother?
Kenji notices your focused look and how you haven't slept in days, the young kaiju was still hurt— you would frequently go to visit and see if the kaiju was okay but every time you did it reminds you of how you almost nearly lost her.
Really..neither of you got to spend quality time together, as friends or maybe he was hoping— more? you were so focused on trying to fix noma that you had completely forgotten to relax and take some time off.
"Okay-- I had an idea, what if we invaded their base? y'know? the KDF?" You appeared with a map of tokyo in your hands, your hair was messy from sleepless nights. "I just need to get noma working again and if I can get her working again all I need is a gateway inside wherever the hell they stay and boom, job done!"
Kenji just stands there, a sigh escapes his lips as he runs a hand through his messy hair. "[Y/n], ai, you aren't even prepared."
"What do you mean? yes, I am." You replied with a soft chuckle, the dark circles around your eyes just shows how long you've been without sleeping.
Kenji shifts his weight forward, spreading his legs slightly and crossing his arms over his chest while tilting his head. "When's the last time you've slept?"
You don't answer and scratch the back of your neck awkwardly.
Kenji stood up and then closed his eyes, letting out a sigh, then he smiled. "Remember that time when Mrs.[L/n] let us watch that one scary movie together? you hardly flinched but I did."
Memories flooded your mind, causing your gaze to soften. It was a comforting realization that your mom truly cared for you and Kenji.
Taking a moment to reflect, you closed your eyes and nodded in acknowledgement. "Yeah. I remember that. she was..very hostile when it came to certain horror movies."
"Too much gore and blood, not good for the faint of heart!" You and kenji both say in sync as you pat one another on the chest, remembering the words your mother used to say.
As you sat next to him, you kept your gaze lowered until you felt the warmth of Kenji's hand reaching out to touch yours, "you know..I'm always gonna be here right? for whatever you need?"
You nod, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. "I know. that's why I appreciate you being here and supporting me. I guess moving has its perks huh? people change."
Kenji shrugs as he bit his lower lip. "You didn't change though, and neither did I. that's the thing-- even if we try to attempt to say we 'changed'-- we didn't. we're still those same goofy teens we were back in high school."
Should he mention the kiss you two almost shared back in high school? he notices you rarely bring it up, maybe because you slightly changed during high school and became a bit more distant?
Sometimes it was hard for you to express your feelings.
Kenji couldn't help but notice the proximity between the two of you, with your shoulders touching and bodies slightly pressed together. It made his breath catch in his chest.
As you exchanged glances, a strong bond had formed between the two of you. He gazes into your eyes, and you reciprocate the gesture.
Reaching out, he gently touches your cheek, his thumb caressing it tenderly. "You're just as beautiful as I remember," he murmurs softly.
With a tender gesture, you nestled against his touch and placed a delicate kiss on the palm of his hand, causing a rosy hue to appear on his cheeks, "Thanks for that."
Suddenly you pulled away, "I so desperately wanted to see a punch buggie at the window." you pout and kenji breaks out of his trance.
"Wait- wait--" Kenji pauses and then glanced at you, his eyes widened slowly. "No, no, wait, [y/n] don't you dare."
"Better run." You grinned mischievously, cracking your knuckles and neck.
Kenji easily slips out of the doorway, but not before you're running behind him and chasing him down the hall.
"[Y/n] I'm so serious right now, stop chasing me!" Kenji shouted. "I can take you but not in a fight! I did not know that's what you meant!"
You skidded to a stop in your tracks. "Wait a minute-- HUH?"
Kenji takes your distraction as a chance to run off and you smirk, "I see what you did there. ima get you though, don't worry."
