Minako had wasted little time in changing into her uniform. Once properly dressed, she had meekly gotten up and hurried out of the club without a word. At least, that had been her intention, until Ken caught up with her. The boy cleared his throat, reached out for Minako's hand, and with a sheepish smile, she accepted.
The two went back to the dorms hand-in-hand, drawing more than a few strange looks, but the taller girl ignored them all. It could've been much worse without the boy's help. Still, her thoughts danced back to his earlier words as they walked.
"Did you... um, really mean all that, Ken...?"
The boy coughed, blushed, and looked away as they came to a stop outside the double doors. It was his best chance to talk his way out of it, but he'd already gone that far, so he saw no reason not to commit.
"I... kinda did, yeah..."
"Ki~nda?" Minako parroted the reply back at him with a sweet smile that made the youth blush.
"S, stop teasing me...!"
"Oh, never crossed my mind..." Minako winked, and entered ahead of Ken. She let go of his hand and smiled as she retreated to her floor. "...thanks for everything. Sweet dreams, K'." With that said, she gave him a parting look that would have the boy blushing for hours.
Minako fell asleep not long after retiring to her room. It wasn't until some hours later, when she was sure that everyone was fast asleep, that she headed one floor down to a certain boy's door, hesitantly knocking from where she stood in her pajamas.
