Listen– listen to me. Kenji and Ben are foils to eachother's character.

Let me explain, you have this kid who was neglected by his parental figure for the majority of his childhood. He was given too much "freedom" and materialistic possessions to keep him busy and away. This kid hides behind a facade of cool confidence and constantly feels the need to prove themselves to someone.

Then there's this other kid, who had a present parental figure that insistently urged them to branch-out. A kid that was fine with hiding from the world and living in their own comfort zone. An honest kid that is also easily frightened. He was uncertain with his abilities and not intrested in proving he was "cut-out" for the outdoors.

And as the story progresses, they go through different experiences. They change as individuals but ultimately remain as foils to one another.

Everyday, Kenji becomes more uncertain with who he is as a person. He begins to question who he is without money and status. He wonders what real family means. His loyalties are questioned and tested. This boy no longer knows what it is that he wants. Kenji is held back by the past (his father) and scared of what the future holds. It's all too confusing and unclear. He doesn't know where to go and what to do.

However, with everyday Ben also changes. He becomes more certain with who he is as a person. He accepts the new him, someone free of socialtal expectations. He gains confidence in himself and recognizes his abilities. He holds his ground and states what's on his mind (staying with Bumby). Ben let's go of the past and isn't afraid to embrace whatever mystery the future holds for him.

See season 1 for example. Kenji doesn't want to admit how scared he is, so he tries to act cool and take the lead. Ben however is sharing his doubts and is jumpy but he's honest about how he feels. The last two episodes of the season completely flips the script. Ben takes the lead and does something brave, suppressing his fears. But once Ben is gone, Kenji facade fully disappears. He's honestly states he doesn't know what he's doing.

There's also season 3. Kenji's taking more responsibility. He seeks leadership roles and starts thinking more collectively. Ben is still very much part of the group but is less of a team player (due to inner turmoil). He thinks more independently and silently struggles connecting with the others again.

This is probably why they butt heads so often, right? It's clear Kenji and Ben contrast eachother but they are not complete opposites, at least that's not how I perceive it. You see, these two boys are on the same journey of self discovery and I believe that they recognize that in eachother. Even if they struggle to stay on the same page most of the time, they still get along and one can only imagine how much more solid and understanding their relationship became post-rescue.

Camp Cretaceous Fic

Hey all so I finally caved and wrote a camp fam fic because there isn't enough. Yes, I am 24 yes I am obsessed with these children. I have a lot of feelings and I need to write about them. You are welcome.

It features a lot of feelings about their PTSD, Benji, Yasammy, Dinostar because the og ships were my fave (Benius did grow on me tho)

Summary:

A short-ish story exploring the campers reacting to dinosaurs being released on the mainland. Includes, characters having injuries and dissabilites from the island. Everyone has PTSD. Some flashbacks of how they reacted after being found. Lots of feelings and camp fam being each others family.

'Ben found out because of twitter. Fucking twitter. He held a bag full of chips and gummy lollies in one hand as he checked the notification on his phone with the other swinging his leg off his motorbike. The tweet he read filled his body with lead. ‘Multiple dinosaurs seen roaming off a highway in California’. He clicked on the thread praying to any god that this was some crazy fake news. As usual, no god answered his prayer. Images and dashcam videos are flooding his phone of dinosaurs walking around. He begins to hyperventilate when he sees her.

Toro.

Toro was in California.

Lips of an Angel

Fandom: Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous Pairing: Ben x Kenji Rated: T (?) Plot: Kenji was weak. Years have passed and now he's sneaking around with his best friend...while still dating his girlfriend.

I'm baaaaaack!! For like, a lil bit cause I got an even coming up. But, I wanted to write something because I'm so excited for the last JW movie and season of JWCC. Please enjoy!

He panted into Kenji’s mouth, both breathless from the kiss.

Kenji’s brown met his gray blue, and his heart skipped a beat.

Their lips met again—

“Kenji?” Brooklynn called from the kitchen.

“Damn it.” Kenji whispered. “I have to…”

“I know.” Ben said, grabbing his face and kissing his cheek. “I know.”

“I’ll come find you later.” He said and slowly pulled away, fingers lingering on his lover's shoulders.

“My door is unlocked. It always is.” Ben said reassuringly.

Kenji blushed and nodded, leaving to meet his girlfriend, Ben left hidden behind the staircase.

Of course he knew this was wrong.

Of course he did.

But fuck…he was a coward.

He had been a coward for six years.

“Kenji?” Brooklynn asked from beside him. “You okay?”

“I’m cool. I’m great even.” He said and slammed another shot.

She nodded and kept chatting with Sammy.

It was a bi-yearly thing for the Camp Fam.

Meet at a lake house in summer and winter, and just relax together.

While they text and video chatted and even dropped by, this was a full week of living together like they did as teens.

Ben smiled at Darius, and he squeezed his shot glass until Ben glanced at him.

He made sure no one was looking at them before he ran his tongue over his upper lip, Ben looking away quickly and drinking from his glass.

“Ooh, Ben.” Sammy said. “Slow down, Honey. You’re blushing like your drink.”

“It’s really good. Love the pomegranate soda you put in this, Brooklynn.” He praised.

“I’ll remember to bring more of that Korean soju. I thought Sammy would like Blushing Rose since she loves alcoholic soda.” She teased and the girls laughed.

“Ooh, I think I do need to lay down.” Ben said, smiling and touching his cheek.

“I’ll help you. Don’t want you to run into a wall, Jungle Boy.” Kenji joked and led him upstairs.

He cradled the back of Ben’s head to protect him from the hard wood of the door, feeling it on his knuckles as he kissed him softly.

“Kenji…” He moaned and they paused.

Kenji stared into his eyes, pressing his forehead to Ben’s.

“You should go.” Ben whispered. “It’s been too long.”

Kenji shut his eyes and shook his head.

“Please…not yet…”

“Kenji…” Ben nearly whimpered.

“I…I’m so sorry, Ben.” He said and Ben cupped his face, kissing his lips softly.

“I know.” Ben said. “But I can wait…I don’t want to…I’m a bad friend.”

“I’m worse.” Kenji said. “I…I’ll text you?”

“Yeah. Night.” He said, pecking his cheek.

Kenji smiled and left the room to see Yaz waiting, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.

“Yaz!” He said. “Hi—”

“I didn’t want to believe it.” She said, not looking at him. “How could you…”

“I…” Kenji looked away. “I love him.”

“What about Brooklynn?” Yaz hissed, looking up at him. “This will…”

“I know. But I can’t…Yaz, I will break it off, soon. I promise.”

“With who?” She asked.

Kenji stayed silent at this and Yaz shook her head, walking away.

It had happened a few months ago.

He and Ben had been texting and he had confessed he had a crush on them as kids.

Ben had been silent a few days and Kenji grew worried, texting him every opportunity he got.

Then he got a phone call around two am and he was still gaming while Brooklynn stayed over.

“Ben? Hey, it’s like four am…hold on.” He said, sliding out of bed, Brooklynn sleeping peacefully.

He heard sniffing.

“Ben?” He asked. “Hey, why are you crying—”

“Me too! I liked you so much and I should’ve…I should’ve…” Ben sobbed. “I’m sorry, Kenji! I’ll…I’ll call later!”

He hung up, leaving Kenji stunned in his living room.

Kenji felt his heart skip a beat, confused at the feelings he had. He felt his face warm and he sat.

What?

Two days later, he was a little spaced out as Brooklynn was talking to him.

“Kenji?”

“Mm?”

“You okay?” She asked.

“Yeah.” He said. “Just thinking.”

“About what?”

“Something private. Sorry, Brook.”

“It’s okay.” She said and patted his arm. “Want some coffee?”

“Yeah.” He said, watching her walk away and felt horrible imagining Ben with messy bed hair walking back with said coffee and sitting next to him.

“Kenji?” Brooklynn asked and he blinked away the image of Ben.

“Sorry. I’ll lay down for a bit after this.”

“Want me to join your little cat nap?”

“Um…not this time.” He said and walked away with his cup.

Now he saw Ben stretched on her side, cuddling that Bumpy plush Sammy and Darius had made him. Big blue eyes blinking up at him as he smiled and held a hand out.

He shook his head and laid down.

Sleep came with its own problems.

He had Ben in his arms as a teen, kissing him softly and smiling as Ben’s cheeks and exposed shoulders flushed red.

“Kenji.” He said and it felt good to hear his name spoken with such adoration.

He blinked and now Ben was taller and aged to his current twenty one, hair slightly longer and brushed back, body now with lean muscle, but still shorter than Kenji by half a foot.

Kenji cupped his cheek, long lashes closing and lips saying his name again.

Their lips met again, and he felt Ben’s long fingers in his hair as he pulled away, rosy lips saying

“Kenji?”

He woke to see Brooklynn smiling down at him.

“Nice dream?”

“It’s…I…I’m still tired!” He said and rolled over.

Brooklynn huffed and smacked his hip playfully.

“Tell me what’s wrong, you butt. I wanna help my boyfriend.”

“Brooklynn, please.” He pleaded.

“Okay.” She said, voice even. “I’m going home then. Please rest up, Kenji.”

“Okay.”

“I love you.” She called.

Kenji felt horrible when he pretended to be asleep.

He called within the hour.

“Hey…we need to talk. I can be there—Now?!” He yelled and heard the doorbell ring.

When he answered it, there was Ben, looking nervous, but not ready to bow.

“Th-there was a conference in San Diego, so I—”

Kenji yanked him inside and pulled him into a kiss. Ben didn’t hesitate and soon they were in his bed, hands everywhere and lips rarely separating.

“Kenji…stop!” Ben pushed him back. “We can’t…”

“I was a coward!” Kenji yelled. “I wanted you too but that’s not…my father would have never allowed it.”

“Kenji. We—”

“I know.” He said. “I know but…Ben…”

Ben nodded and pulled him close again.

Now here they were.

He sat near the window in an armchair, looking out at the lake, fireflies around the glass.

He heard the door open and close.

“We need to talk.” Brooklynn said and he turned.

She sat on the bed across from him, sniffing.

“Is it me?”

“What?” He asked.

“I know we don’t have a physical relationship and you’re a guy.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa…” He said and put his hands out, standing. “Brooklynn there is nothing wrong with your sexuality—”

“Then why are you cheating on me?!” She yelled, shutting him up.

Kenji clenched his jaw. “Because I suck…”

“That’s not an answer I need.”

“…I…I…” He looked away. “I didn’t…I didn’t want to hurt you, but I did.”

“…oh my god…” She whispered. “Do you want to break up?”

Kenji sighed.

“Yes.”

She sat and sniffed.

“Brooklynn—”

She held up a hand. “No. No, not…”

She chuckled and shook her head, then looked up at him with watery eyes.

“It’s Ben.”

Kenji’s eyes widened, but he nodded.

“It’s always been Ben.” She said with a sigh. “Kenji?”

“Yes?”

“We’ve known, haven’t we?” She asked, wiping her eyes. “Just two kids who paired up cause of stress and hormones and the belief…”

He kneeled in front of her, taking one of her hands in his.

“I am sorry.”

Brooklynn looked at their hands, silent.

“I don’t think I can see you right now.” She said. “But I love you and I want us to be friends.” But I need time after this.”

She cupped his cheek with a free hand.

“I know you’ll make each other happy.” She said. “So man up and say it.”

Kenji bit his lip and nodded, taking a deep breath.

“Brooklynn, I think we should break up.”

“I agree.” She said in a shaky voice. “I had fun.”

Kenji hugged her. “Me too.”

“Now go get him.”

“What?”

“He left for the airport.” She said and took his keys from her pocket.

He took them and paused, both sharing a sad, but meaningful look.

“Well?” She asked. “Go get him!”

He nodded and ran out to the living room.

“Kenji?” Darius asked as he quickly shoved his shoes on and went outside.

He ran to his SUV and stopped when he saw a figure in Ben’s car, the headlights on.

Kenji walked over, hearing gravel from the driveway under his sneakers and crickets. He tapped on the glass, Ben turning to him in shock and wiping at his face. He unlocked the door and got out.

“Kenji—mmph!”

Kenji had pulled him into a kiss, arms going around him. It didn’t take long for Ben to kiss him back, going lax in his arms, eyes shutting.

“You better take good care of him, Kenji!” Brooklynn yelled from the patio. “You hear me?!”

Ben pulled away, blushing and looking from Kenji to Brooklynn and back.

“Wha—”

“I’m single. Want to be my boyfriend?”

“I—Yes!” He nearly shouted and yanked Kenji back into a kiss. *

Brooklynn smiled and sighed.

“So…” Darius said as he walked to her side. “Need to talk?”

“Sure.” She said. “Get the girls and put the coffee on.”

“We’re gonna be in the guest house!” Ben yelled.

Yaz rolled her eyes and Sammy gave an awkward smile before turning to Brooklynn.

“You okay?”

“It’s been a time coming, I guess. And no. This wont affect the camp fam. Just a new version, I guess.” Brooklynn said. “Its always been a different love. Very different from…oh, come on! Stop eating each other’s faces and go already!”

Ben and Kenji separated.

“Sorry!” They chorused.

“We’re still giving them shit.” Darius said.

“Mmhm.” Yaz hummed.

“I mean, we’ve kinda knew…”

“Sammy!” Darius and Yaz said together.

Brooklynn snorted a laugh, seeing Kenji and Ben walk hand in hand to the other cabin.

She would heal, she told herself. She would so give both of them crap from years to come and totally tease them when they got married and adopted some kids, but…she would heal.

jwcc s5 spoilers!!

the amount of benji (and ben and bumpy, but mostly focusing on benji rn) angst and bittersweetness in season 5 episodes 10 and 11 was an absolute shock to me. i wasn’t expecting for them to (technically) have an episode. what happened between them was sort of surprising.

ben is very angry, upset, and annoyed at kenji because from his pov he allowed his father to take bumpy (and technically he did, but not for the wrong reason).

ben didn’t want anyone to come with him. he said “i’ll follow kenji. hopefully he will lead me to bumpy.” so he follows kenji to where she is.

ben hid in the jungle, thinking of a plan to get his girl back. kenji sneaks up behind him and asks, “what’s the plan?” ben jumps on/attacks kenji. kenji struggles to get up because ben is pushing him on the ground. ben is upset that kenji would do something like that to bumpy and him (because they are friends). ben calls him a jerk and asks him why he would let his father do that to bumpy. kenji swears to ben that he tried to stop his father. ben asks him why should he believe kenji because they’re trust was broken a few episodes earlier. kenji with the look of defeat on his face answers, “i don’t know. i… i don’t know.” clearly upset that he did this to not only bumpy but to his friend ben too. then ben pushes him on the ground again and walks away from kenji.

kenji apologies and ben responds “i want to trust you, but…” ben is the first person kenji apologizes too and the first one to get a one on one apologize.

kenji reaches out to put his hand on ben’s shoulder and says “i’m gonna help you get bumpy back. if it’s the last thing i do.”

ben try’s to get bumpy to move with attracting her with blueberries but it isn’t working. so kenji grabs the controller and puts it into ben’s hands causes the blueberries to fall. and causes ben to be angry and upset with kenji.

ben falls on the ground and kenji carefully helps him back to his feet.

bumpy being controlled by the 2 other people at this point and kenji being held by one of the bad people. kenji screaming, clearly worried for ben, “ben! run!”

ben gets shoved in the cage behind him by controlled bumpy. kenji still being held back screams again, “stop! what are you doing?! you are gonna hurt him!”

the guy that is hurting ben by controlling bumpy says if it does matter that ben gets hurt to his boss (kenji’s father) that it does matter to him. kenji responds, “well it matters to me!” kenji try’s to break free and succeeds but only to be pushed to the ground and held back again seconds later.

kenji turns away from the scene where bumpy is about to crush ben with her tail. (and thank God she doesn’t omg🤭).

few moments later they win and bumpy is mind control free. kenji not knowing how they did it. ben responds, “real friendship… *reaching out his hand to help kenji get on bumpy’s back with him* can’t be broken.” kenji smiles and takes ben’s hand.

ben defends kenji and explains to the rest of them that kenji knows he messed up. ben tells them that kenji deserves a second chance.

if you see this as platonic, romantic, or even both. you have to admit that these scenes were very important for both characters and their relationship with each other. it shows how they can still be friends and still care for and trust each other after what happened.
