Warmth
Though his body lay sleeping, his mind was in a constant frenzy. He could hear everything that happened around him. As people came to see him as he slept and as they left, he could hear their heartfelt words and it made him want to return to them. That, of course, would never happen, not until his heart had been repaired. It had been splintered and ruined by Vanitas. The darkness Ventus had fought off in the end had still destroyed a part of him.
The person who came to him the most, however, was Aqua. She sat by his bedside at least once a week, telling him what was going on in the worlds and how all of their friends were doing. There was one person she always left out, though. Not once since he had fallen into his coma had Aqua mentioned Terra. In the back of his mind he was pleading for information on his friend, but in never came. Day after day, he awaited news of the man who had been taken by the darkness. It never came.
There was one night, however, that something was different. He knew that darkness could control dreams, turning them into vicious nightmares that could forever haunt. The darkness entering his mind, however, was not cold and cruel, but rather it felt like warmth and a possessive love. It was not the darkness he knew to hate. It was Terra's darkness, a possessive, but ever-protective darkness. Whereas the Master had warned them that no darkness was good, Ventus knew he could trust this feeling. It was Terra telling him that he was still alive.
If only Ventus could see Terra, though, and what had become of him. His snow-white hair and golden eyes were not the ones Ventus knew, but in his mind he could feel that it was the same person. He tried to reach out to it, but every time he came close the darkness would retreat. He could speak to it in his mind. He begged and pleaded for it not to leave him, but it was to no avail. The darkness had left him without another trace. All he was left with were the words, "I'm sorry, Ven."
Then the warmth and darkness left him cold and empty in his bed, with only his mind to keep him company.
Woo! Drabble one is complete! I'm hoping I've kept these two as in-character as possible. I can honestly say that Birth by Sleep has become my favorite Kingdom Hearts game, with Ventus being my favorite character.
Anyways, review and tell me what you think. (;
