This is part of Wishing-Fire's 100 Theme Challenge, 100 little drabbles about a specific Kingdom Hearts character. I own nothing, all Kingdom Hearts characters belong to Tetsuya Nomura and Square Enix.
Author's Note: What would happen if Ventus and toddler Kairi crossed paths in Radiant Garden... Enjoy!
1. Introduction
"Go on, Kairi… He won't bite."
The grey haired woman patted Kairi's head as the auburn haired child hid behind her grandmother's skirt, a cerulean eye peeking out at the blonde Keyblade wielder. Ventus smiled kindly, kneeling down to the little girl's eve level.
"Hello, Kairi. My name is Ven. It's very nice to meet you."
Kairi stepped a little farther out of the circumference of the matron's skirt. Clutched in the toddler's hand was a bright yellow daisy, which after a moment of quiet consideration, she handed Ventus the blossom, with a nervous smile.
He took it, twirling for a second then bowed to the little girl, straightening up. "Thank you, Kairi."
Kairi beamed, her shyness evaporating seconds after her introduction to the valiant wielder.
