A MONTH LATER...

Ventus and Sarafina were sitting by the entrance to the castle, watching Terra and Vanitas train not that far away from them. Ventus had been watching the ravenette since this morning. Vanitas was back to sharing a room with him, but he wouldn't say anything to him. He'd get a 'Hey' everynow and then, the occational 'night' and 'cya', but that was it. He'd been hanging out with Terra since a few days after Sarafina had turned up. He was pulled from his thoughts as he saw Vanitas land on his back just in front of him. The ravenette painfully opened his eyes to see Ven staring at him with a partialy open mouth and half lidded eyes. Ven raised a brow when his darker half blushed and franticly stood, jogging back over to his spot to spar with the older brunette boy once again.

Sarafina looked at the retreating dark form and then glanced at the blonde sitting next her, seeing how he stared at Vanitas and how Vanitas looked to him in a certain way. She gave a little sigh, thinking of how she feels for the boy. They don't kiss as much as they did when they first started dating; they just hug and hang out like friends, a brother at the most. She glanced over to Vanitas who did a back-flip, landing on his hands then feet again, but as he landed on his hands you could see all of his chest as his shirt folded to his shoulders. She looked to Ven who had a faint blush across his cheeks and his eyes a bit glazed, sighing again, it was obviouse they liked each other but were to stupid to realize it themselves.

Realizing the situation,Sarafina stood up and started hurrying back to the castle; Ventus watched her leave and standing up as well, he ran after her, leaving the other two starring after them in confusion. She walked to his room standing outside the door as him came up and stood by her side.

"Ventus...I want to tell you something!" she announced, turning to face him, head down with her arms crossed behind her back.

"Y-yeah?" he questioned, raising a brow and cocking his head a little at why she stopped by his room.

"I...I do love you...but...as family...like a brother and...Vanitas..." she looked down a little further, thinking of way to tell him.

"Is he the guy you like?" he quietly asked, also looking down to the floor.

"WHAT!? No, no, no, he's even more of a brother since he used to look after me when I was little!" she brought her hands up and started waving them franticly while shaking her head.

"Then, what about him?" he queried, crossing his arms as his thoughts went to the ravenette then back to the matter at hand.

"I, uh... Look, I know the way you look at him and I know that you have more feelings for him tha-" She was suddenly cut off by Ventus seemed a little sad and his voice was quiet with shock...

"Please don't tell me your breakin-,"

"No interupting me...!" she cut off hipercritically, holding a finger up to stop him from talking. "You have a lot more feeling for him than you do for anyone else. That makes it love. You're in love Vanitas, not me!" she finished with a little smile. She waited for the blonde to respond, but he seemed to be in shock, just staring at her with a dark blush across his cheeks.

"Land-Of-Darparture to Ven, you in there?" she teased, clicking her fingers in front of his face.

"...huh?" he seemed to space out as she finished speaking. "S-sorry..hehe," he embarrassingly scratched the back of his head.


TIME SKIP TO 1 HOUR BEFORE BED

Sarafina left the castle a few minutes after Vanitas, following him up to the higher level of The-Land-Of-Darparture, seeing him stare at the billions of stars.

"You can come out now, Sarafina!" she jumped a little, cursing her inability to hide from the raven haired male. She slowly stood up walking over to him, staring at the darker half of Ven before she dedcided to speak.

"How much do you love Ventus?" that seemed to hit him off gaurd as he stared at her in utter serprise. "What, didn't think I knew. Vanitas, I've known you for most of my life. I know what you hate and like, and you Love Ven!" she looked at him smugly.

"H-how long have you known?" he questioned quietly, still not taking his eyes off of her.

"A while, now answer my question!"

"I...I don't know how to explain how much I love him. More than my Heart can feel...and a hell of a lot more...I don't know!" he looked at her with knitted brows, as if he was completely confused, "why are you suddenly asking me this?"

She smiled then looked up to the stars, crossing her arms behind her back as she warned.

"Well, you better tell him this, other whise your gonna lose him again to someone else!" she chuckled once she finished.

Sarafina turned around, slowly walking away, leaving a Vanitas with a raised brow at the top of the hill staring at her as she left.
