Ventus didn't exactly mean to blurt it out, but he felt that it was only fair to tell Terra after what he told him. Terra did not immediately respond, he merely made odd scrunched up faces and opened his mouth like he was going to speak just to close it again, but he still did not speak for almost a minute. Ven was again afraid that he had broken him, but he eventually did speak. "So, Vanitas eh?"

"Yeah"

"Can I ask why?" Although Ven was embarrassed to answer that it was just on a whim he began to speak.

"Yeah, so I came home yesterday and Sora and Riku, I think you met him he's Sora's friend, well boyfriend I guess, they were having sex and I was-." Ventus stopped there, trying to find a way to explain.

"You were what?" Ven let out a breath he did not realize he was holding.

"I was confused to be honest. I didn't know it worked that way." Terra chuckled a little and patted Ven's head.

"Oh, Ven. My sweet little innocent Ven."

"Shut up Terra." Ven said playfully with a shove. "Anyway, he was there and he pulled me aside and well-"

"Well, what?"

"He- he gave me a blowjob."

"He what now?"

"Please, don't make me say it again."

"Heh heh, alright I won't. So just like that no flowers, no chocolates, no dinner and a movie first."

"Oh God, I sound horrible when you say it like that." Ventus laughed as he covered his face with one hand.

"I think 'cheap' is a better word, but at least he's someone you know, and not just some random ass guy."

"Point. So then it just kind of escalated from there, and we ended up, well you know."

"No I don't, please enlighten me."

"You're gonna make me say it, aren't you?"

"I will drive in circles around your block until you do."

"We had sex! Okay, I said it are you happy?"

"Somewhat, I'm still concerned about this."

"About what?"

"Vanitas pushing you."

"He didn't push me!" But Ven could not tell a lie, and he looked away. "Much" Terra sighed, and put his hand on Ven's shoulder.

"I don't mean to make you feel bad, I just don't want you to get hurt. So if he does, tell me, and I'll knock his teeth out."

"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

"You're my friend Ven. I'll always worry." At this point Terra pulled up into Ven's driveway, and turned to look at Ven. "Well, I'd go in and chat with Vanitas, but I think I need to talk to Aqua. I'll call you later."

"Please, don't tell her about me and Vanitas." Ventus said freaking out.

"Don't worry I won't. I'll leave that to you, but remember she'll never let it go."

"Alright thanks." Ven got out and walked up the driveway to the house. He unlocked the door and opened it to see Vanitas watching television on the couch. Vanitas was only wearing a pair of black silk boxers, and it was obvious that he had just gotten out of the shower by his wet hair and flushed skin. Every time Vanitas exited the shower, the next person had to wait at least fifteen minutes for the water to get hot again. "Um, hi Vanitas." Vanitas lifted his hand, but his eyes did not leave the gory horror movie on the television.

"Sup, Ventus?"

"Uh, not much." Vanitas raised a hand and waved Ven over.

"Get over here." Ventus thought back to the conversation with Terra 'I just don't want you to get hurt.'

"Um Vanitas, we need to talk." Vanitas looked up with one eyebrow raised.

"Okay, what do we need to talk about?"

"Why did you have sex with me?"

"Ventus!" Growled Vanitas. "What if someone was here?!"

"I need to know."

"Okay, I fucked you because I was horny, and you needed someone to teach you. Anything else?"

"What do you mean I needed someone to teach me?" Vanitas chuckled.

"Because you couldn't grasp the concept of two guys fucking. What was I gonna do give you a porno and a test. Where is this coming from anyway, and why are you back so early." Vanitas trailed off and, before Ventus knew what was going on, was next to Ven looking down at the shorter boy. "Did you tell them about us?!" Ven could almost see fire in Vanitas's eyes, and God was he turned on. He didn't know why, but maybe it was because Vanitas was close, to the point where they were almost touching, or maybe it was the smell of his shampoo, and, ashamed as he was to admit it, he was almost sure it was the anger. All Ven could think was. 'Man I'm fucked up' But he did not flinch or shrink back. He stood his ground and calmly said.

"Yes, I told Terra, and Aqua knows I slept with someone, but doesn't know who it is."

"You are an idiot. You know that, right?" Vanitas turned around and sighed, before sulking back to the couch to sit. He looked down and asked. "Do you trust him?"

"Yes"

"Roxas trusted that vindictive bitch Xion too. You understand that right." Vanitas looked up with a glare that softened when he saw Ven's face. "You trust him to know something that could fuck your life up, right?"

"I'd trust him with my life." Ventus said without hesitation. Vanitas thought for a second.

"Okay then. Nothing I can do. Come sit down." He patted the couch next to him. Ventus sat down and they watched the movie silently. Ventus did not really like the movie he had seen it before and he wasn't a big fan of gory movies. Except when it was so fake it was funny, but this movie was just gross. Without warning Vanitas turned it off and got up. He walked over to the kitchen and grabbed two cans of Cola-Time and brought them over to where Ven sat. He handed one to Ven and they sat drinking in silence. When Ven was about half-way done he put his down for a second to ask Vanitas if he could choose a show, but when he looked at Vanitas, Vanitas grabbed the back of his head with one hand and with the other grabbed his arm, digging in with his longish nails. Vanitas began to breathe heavily and pushed him down to lay on the couch. Ven was shocked, and especially more so when the older boy kneeled over him, and leaned his face in close. Ventus was completely expecting it to be a joke like the night before, but he was shocked when Vanitas roughly pushed their mouths together. Ven out of shock opened his mouth, which Vanitas took as an invitation to shove his tongue into the boy's mouth. Vanitas began to bat his tongue around inside Ven's mouth, but Ven continued to just lay there slack-jawed. When Vanitas realized this he sighed and got off of Ven sitting up next to him with his arms crossed. "You really haven't kissed anyone, have you? You suck at it."

"I- I wasn't ready."

"Yeah, yeah that's it. We'll try again later. For now-" He began and leaned in close to Ventus's ear. "Go to your room. Now."

The night went just as Ven could have expected. Ending with a huge pain in his ass. Vanitas was much rougher this time, and made no mention of kissing, so Ven did not bring it up. The next day he woke up, having fallen asleep in Vanitas's bed, to no one. Ventus got up and limped over to the door, which had a note taped to it, reading, in an almost undecipherable scrawl 'Terra called you. I couldn't wake you. He needs to talk to you. Remember I trust that you trust him. V.S.' Ventus pulled on his shirt, having slept topless and for some reason feeling uncomfortable about talking to Terra with no shirt, phone call or not. He pulled out his phone and dialed Terra's number. He had long ago refused to become a slave to saved numbers. When the phone picked up he heard Terra speak in a happier tone than he had heard in a long time. "Hey Ven. Is that you?"

"Who else could it be?"

"Vanitas picked up earlier." He had a slightly more annoyed tone than earlier.

"Sorry, you know me. I sleep like a rock."

"So you slept with him again." Ven sunk a little at his disappointed tone.

"Yeah" He must have sounded bad because Terra seemed to try to sound friendlier.

"Hey Ven, cheer up. I didn't mean it like that."

"I know."

"Well, I called to tell you something, so I'll say it. Aqua and I made up." Ven felt Terra's happiness spread to him like a wildfire.

"Really, that's great."

"Yeah, we still need to work out some things, but I think. I think everything's gonna be fine." Ventus could only hope at this point.

"That's great Terra. That really is."

"Hey Ven, I need to let you go now. I'll see you later."

"Alright, see you." Terra hung up and Ven was left there smiling. Maybe things were looking up, but before he could dwell on this, he heard the doorbell ring.

After three and a half years I have finally decided to scrap this story. When I began this story, I was not in a good place mentally, something that you may be able to tell from this story's contents, having said that I want to move past the part of my life that this story represents. I will keep this story up, but it will no longer be worked on. I will continue to write stories in a similar setting to this story, so if after all this time any long time readers are seeing that I updated all of the chapters to have this message at the end I hope that you continue to follow me for more content.
