So Ken adores the heck out of Jaime. He doesn't know what it's like to really have one, but he thinks that if he had any siblings, he would definitely want someone like Jaime to be his brother. Right now he thinks he's really, really lucky to have him as a friend, and Ken's one of those kids who'll never take someone's companionship for granted. Jaime's going to be feeling his appreciation all day everyday.
Jaime started out as the FEELINGS guy. Their first conversation and he smacked Ken in the face with a limp fish named "Solutions for People Who Aren't Ken and Shinji," but instead of making him feel awkward and ashamed of it Jaime took his hand and tugged him under the wind of friendship. Ken actually doesn't know that Jaime had to hear the story from Minato, so he's convinced that he knew from the beginning and was nice to him anyway. Which isn't too inaccurate, but the misunderstanding has given him extra points. He's one of the kindest people Ken knows but god. He's so softhearted. What the heck. Ken can't believe it sometimes, but it comforts him a lot and he knows he'll go back to it over and over because wow can Jaime hug him all the time?
He's yet to know about the Blue Beetle thing or anything about Jaime's powers here. Actually, he's come to notice that he knows practically nothing about him, and while that bothers him a little it does little to change how Ken feels about him. The biggest difference is that Jaime is still counted in Ken's mind as someone who leads the sort of lifestyle that SEES is fighting to protect. Superhero or not he has a lot of things that Ken knows he doesn't have, but rather than been envious of it he just wants him to be able to keep it, and he'd do anything it takes to protect that. He would love to play video games at the guy's house and go over for dinner on some days and go to those fairs and to hang out with him on the road trip and be friends.
As long as their time here lasts, at least. Jaime's the one who told him that people go back to the exact time that they arrived from, and that to Ken means that the moment he's permanently ported out from this world, that's death to the 'Ken Amada' that exists here. He'll go back, he'll be in that alley and he'll be hungry and Minato assured him that he's still SEES and that he's needed, but to him, that Ken that'll only know Iwatodai is a totally separate entity. It's him, but it's not him and it hurts to think about how he can't take memories of this world and his friends along, and Jaime makes up a pretty big part of that. When his mom died he lost everything but his memories of her, but now that he has all this stuff that he's picked up here -- just like a katamari; he loves that game -- he's got no choice but to lose it all over, and this time he won't even get to keep the memories. And that sucks, and he hates it. He hates the Ken that'll forget Jaime, and he's yet to reach that point where he understands that all things end but that the end doesn't devalue what's currently there. Right now he's just afraid of losing what he finally gained because he finally found something again! Something that's not just destructive anger and hatred! So when Ken inevitably falls asleep during the long car ride during their trip and Jaime's sitting next to him you can bet that he'll be clinging to his shirt in his sleep sometimes because he's so, so attached in way more than the literal sense.
