from this meme ! game — write our characters playing video games together
with more and more free time nowadays, kenta has taken to branching out a bit more. despite recieving many warnings against staying away from the heroes, he's gone looking for "the good ones" again -- hoping that, through befriending some of them, he'll have a good network of friends to keep him safe.
and jimin definitely seemed like one of the good ones, or at least not one of the bad -- he's kinda quiet, and doesn't really talk about himself very much but when kenta first meets him while wandering the heroes' training area, he doesn't get bad vibes at all.
it took some convincing to get jimin to invite him to his house to play games, but thankfully kenta can be both stubborn and persuasive when he wants to be; and kenta is fun enough company that jimin doesn't seem to mind... that much. not at first, anyway.
"oops! i swear i didn't mean to win again," kenta says sheepishly, watching his little monkey character act out his victory dance for the fourth time in a row, while jimin's character is off to the side, comically dejected. super monkey ball: banana blitz is a fairly old game for the very outdated wii, but it's one of kenta's favourites, for reasons that his friends can't fathom. maybe something about the bright, colourful atmosphere and light-hearted party games is enticing to him, and it's always fun to play with friends.
jimin blinks at the screen, and he shrugs. "i guess this is what i get for playing games with the luck card," he's not really being serious at all, but kenta can't help but feel a little bad anyway.
kenta fidgets with the wrist-strap on his remote. "you're right, it's not really fair, we should've picked a game more based on skill than chance..." kenta likes playing games, but it's probably not the same knowing he's much more likely to succeed.
but when jimin looks at him, there's a small smile on his face. "skill, huh? sounds like i need to beat you up in smash bros."
kenta's eyes light up. he's glad that jimin doesn't want to give up playing with him despite the unfair gameplay -- he was worried jimin wasn't having fun, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. a relieved and excited smile follows suit, and he picks him his remote again. "sure, let’s go!”
