"Today we have a new student, this is Kensuke Midori - he transferred from Beigoma Academy and will be joining our class today." Your teacher explained nonchalantly. Lifting your head from your novel, you spared a soft smile to the new student, hopefully you'd manage to get along well with him. He seemed rather nice. The male was seated down a few desks away from you, and the lesson continued on.

Once the bell rang, everyone stood up and left the classroom. Time to head on home unless you had a club to attend to - like yourself. You and a close friend of yours; Ben, founded the beyblade club at this school. Now that Ken was a new student, everyone was eager to try and get the poor kid into their club. Some kids would do anything for a new member.

Stepping into the hallway, you noticed three students chatting up a storm with Ken. The raven haired male seemed rather nervous, clutching tightly to his textbooks. This didn't look good. Furrowing your brows, you scanned the area for Ben, hopefully he'd come around soon. Your [e/c] hues spotted the purple haired boy.

"Ben!" You scampered over to the male, "do you think you could help out?" Worried, you pointed over at Ken being crowded. You may not be able to do much, but Ben could definitely take care of this. Ben stormed over to the group and spared the three kids a glare. Growling under his breath, Ben poked his face even closer. The students were easily frightened off.

"Hi, I'm in your class, would you mind coming with me?" You clapped your hands together pleadingly, bowing to Ken. The green eyed boy blinked nervously, before slowly nodding. You and the two other boys carried on around the school to the back and under a tree. That's when the raven pulled out two unique looking puppets from his bag, slipping them on each hand. As soon they were snugly fit on, the puppets came right to life.

"Thank you for helping us back there." The brown one resembling a poodle muttered, he had a rather goofy voice. You were confused, but, who were you to judge?

"We could'a gotten out ourselves, but whatever." The dark blue one piped up, this one looked more like a shiba inu - the ears stuck up.

"Of course, of course." You lifted your hands in defense, followed by a nervous laugh. "My name is [Y/n] [L/n], it's a pleasure to meet you. Sorry your first day didn't go as well, though. This is a friend of mine, Ben Azuki." You gestured to the male sitting beside you. Ben just nodded a head.

"Wow, it's very nice to meet you." The brown puppy chirped. "My name is Besu, and this is Keru and Ken."

"Nice to meet you Keru, Besu." You nodded to both puppets. What a strange way to communicate.

"Those kids were asking us about a soccer club, but we were too nervous to say anything. . . Ken here was hoping we could get into a beyblade club."

Your eyes lit up as soon as you heard him.

"Really! That's perfect! Ben is the captain of the beyblade club, and I'm the manager! We'd be so happy to have you!" Your hands clapped together. Since then, the three of you became best friends. Now, with Ken always using Keru and Besu to speak to others, hardly with his own voice, you were starting to get curious on how he did it. You learned he was a ventriloquist, for the sake of his family's business, which consisted of famous puppet shows at malls and fairs. Because of that, Ken had no choice but to move so often. With that said, Ken lost a lot of friends, and recently lost his best friends at Beigoma Academy.

During art class, you were starting to space out. You'd finished pretty much all your work, and didn't have anything else to do, asides from aimlessly doodling on your notebook and so on.

"Hellooooo, earth to [Y/n]!" Besu popped up into view. You blinked your eyes in confusion. Suddenly the poodle started munching at your cheek, earning a giggle from you.

"Besu, Besu, what are you doing?"

"You looked like you were in another world. Is everything okay?"

"Mmhm! I was just thinking about something." Your eyes wandered off before you turned to face Ken completely. "Keru and Besu are so cute! Can you teach me how to make puppets too?"

"Excuse you, I'm not a puppet!" Keru huffed, you playfully shoved his face away.

"Come on, please?" With glittery eyes, you peered closer to the male. Ken slowly looked away.

"O-okay, sure thing." Getting the answer from his voice made it all the more exciting. So there. You two made plans to hang out at his house, he'd show you all his supplies and teach you to make cute puppets like his precious Keru and Besu.

You showed up an Ken's house and were immediately ushered in by his mother. She was a lovely lady who was extremely happy to have you over. A friend of Ken's was someone she wanted to keep close to the family. Miss Midori brought the two of you some snacks while you settled down in the living room.

"Here we aaaare!" Besu sang. Ken hopped down the stairs and placed a few boxes on the living room table. Inside were tons of sewing tools, yarns, fabrics, and tons of other things. First, Ken taught you how to sew - which you were familiar with, but not in making puppets.

"Push the needle in this way, then back around like this. It's called a back stitch." Ken explained softly, showing you how he used the needle, then pushed it back in between the threads in the last stitch. He handed the needle and fabric over to you, where you tried your shot at it. At first he placed his hands over yours to show you again, then let you off on your own. Carefully and fully focused, you made a couple more stitches and proudly showed it to Ken.

"You're a natural, [Y/n]!" Besu waved his little hands around.

"Well, aren't you the sweetest little pup." You smiled brightly, tapping the poodle's nose briefly. "Okay. So I keep doing this around the pattern, then turn it inside out, right?" You looked over at Ken, and he nodded. Perfect.

For almost three hours, the two of you carried on in the making of your puppet. You chose to make a [favourite animal], and you'd sit it on your desk with the rest of your collectibles. Munching on cookies and crisps here and there, sipping at soda and getting back to work.

"Do you think this would look good?" Lifting a bit of fabric to the rest of your progress, your head lifted up. Ken was peeking over your shoulder, so at this point the two of you were practically feeling one another's soft breathing. Blushing harshly, the raven quickly turned away, before lifting Keru.

"It's fine, it's fine!" The puppet frantically waved it's arms. With soft pink tinging your cheeks, you let out a small chuckle before getting back to work.

Just a bit longer, and you were finished! Your puppet was completed.

"Okay. . . Here we go." Now, if it'd come to life after you fit it on your hand, who knows. Your fingers slipped into the arms and waved them around. The puppet fit well on your hand, that was for sure.

"Hello there, my name is Besu. What's yours?" Besu reached a hand out to your puppet.

"Huh?" Your brows raised. "O-oh! U-uhm. . ." How embarrassing.

"Don't worry, we can name it later." Ken chimed. "You did well."

"Thanks. . ." You let out a small sigh of relief. "I mean, it's all thanks to your help. Plus, it was tons of fun to hang out with you." A bright smile marred your features. "So thanks for having me over, Ken."

He responded with a smile, and nod - but that's when you noticed his mother in the back. She was in the kitchen making dinner, but took the time to get your attention. The lady pointed at her lips, Ken, then her cheek. . . What was that supposed to mean? You lifted a brow. She repeated the gesture and finally you got it.

Kiss his cheek right?

Ken was nibbling at a cookie, so he didn't seem to notice the sign language going on between you two girls. With a soft blush over your face, you heaved in a small breath before leaning over to Ken. Quickly, you placed a small kiss on his cheek. The poor thing came to a complete halt before blushing darkly and looking over at you for confirmation.

"Th-there's my thank you. . ." Nervously, you fret with the hem of your blouse. No, no, that wasn't going to be enough, you had to do something a little more. You could see the smallest smile on his face, and ken was the nervous kind, so he wouldn't be making moves anytime soon. This was your job now.

"Y-you're welcome." He muttered in response. "I-I do, like you, after all. . . [Y/n]."

Now, now, there was your permission to do a little more.

"I like you too." You let out a small breath. Ken slowly turned to face you, so there you took your chance and gave him a small peck on the lips. Afterwards, you were smothered in kisses from Keru and Besu.

"Munch attack!"

"Okay! Okay! That's enough!" Your adorable laughter didn't exactly aid your argument.
