The relationship between Ben and Kenji in the fanfiction can develop in many ways. Firstly, they could have a moment of self - discovery together. For instance, they find out about an old legend in the camp that has a moral lesson. As they explore the meaning of this legend, they also explore their own personalities and values. This shared exploration brings them closer. Secondly, they might be paired up for a special mission in the camp, like finding a missing camper. During this mission, they encounter various obstacles that require them to communicate effectively and use each other's strengths. This not only helps them complete the mission successfully but also strengthens their relationship. Finally, they could have a heart - to - heart conversation about their fears and dreams. This vulnerability between them can lead to a deeper and more meaningful connection.
In the fanfiction, their relationship could start with mutual dislike, as we often see in the show. But then, as they are forced to work together on a project, like building a new shelter for the camp. Ben's knowledge of construction from his survival skills and Kenji's physical strength combine well. As they build, they start to talk more and realize they have more in common than they thought. Later, when one of them gets sick, the other takes care of them, which deepens their bond. They then become best friends who support each other through all the challenges in the camp.
