In the time that it's taken for me to post the first one shot and this one, I've come around to this once more. Past!me was so fucking right and sexy for just writing whatever they wanted and thinking about smooching charas. Wish I could still have that energy. Maybe one day, I will once more be able ot discover the pure love felt between a human and a fictional characters... please pray for me.
This was the first story I ever wrote btw. It has historical importance
Also I'm gonna out past!me and say that when I wrote both of these I had not played a single part of the KH games. I was entirely going off things that I had heard secondhand from Teddy lol

Jess' POV:

I'm not stupid. I am perfectly aware of the notion 'stranger danger' thank you very much. When I was younger, my mum sat me down and said to me, "Jessica, you must always be careful around people you don't know, okay? If someone you don't know comes towards you don't listen to them, don't follow them. If they keep bothering you, scream and run away, okay? Don't trust anyone you don't know. Do you understand?" I nodded, "yes mummy, I won't trust strangers, I'm not that silly." The look on my mother's face suggested that she believed otherwise, but she didn't say anything. True to my words, the next time someone approached me that I didn't know, I screamed for help and ran away. Apparently I had the wrong idea; it took me a while to work out that people at school are mostly trust-worthy, and that it isn't very good to scream in your teacher's face before running out the door. Hey, it was my first year, can I really be blamed?

I know what qualifies as a potentially dangerous person now, so it is with some guilt that I do not run away screaming from the man in front of me. I mean, sure, he was a lot taller than me, his face was covered, he had on a long dark cloak and a white van, he was a typical, potential kidnapper. Worthy of screaming and running and all that jazz; but he had lollipops, and he was offering them to me, I mean, what can you expect? Not to mention the fact that he was offering to give me a lift in his van to the café where I was going to meet up with my friends, Theodore (Teddy), Lea and Ventus (Ven). I mean, sure it was about a two minute walk from where I was at the moment considering that I had already been well on my way. But it was the thought that counted right? And he said he had chocolate and skittles in his van, and I could have them and give them to my friends. And I mean, every stranger is a potential friend, right? Especially one who is offering you sugary treats.

So sure, my mind was screaming at me that I was being idiotic, but I figured, even if he did kidnap me and whatnot, I would still get a whole bunch of lollipops at least out of it, so it was worth it.

As I'm about to accept the man's kind offer, I hear someone come up behind me. I turn around and see Teddy coming towards us; they glance at man then turn to me whispering, "What are you doing? Since when did you turn into a total idiot?" I shake my head condescendingly at Teddy's narrow point of view and mouth the 'lollipops'.

Teddy's POV:

I had been almost at the café when I felt an impulse to look over at the road. What I saw made me frown. Jessica was talking to some stranger, talking, not screaming and running away from. Apparently their mother has never told them of the concept of 'stranger danger'.

I ran over to Jess, they spun around as they heard me coming. I glanced over at the man standing their patiently before leaning into whisper to them, "What are you doing? Since when did you turn into a total idiot?" They shake their head condescendingly at me, no doubt at me 'narrow frame of mind' or whatever, before mouthing the word, 'lollipops'.

I stare at Jess disbelieving, of course, lollipops. Figures it would be something stupid like that. I could just imagine them thinking, "hmm… what a suspicious man… but wait, is that… lollipops, oh well, he is instantly on my friend list, lol, I'll just get into his van with him now, it'll be fun." I think for a few seconds then look back to Jess, "Jess," I say, keeping my voice level, "come with me and I'll give you…" I pause to add to the tension, knowing that it would interest Jess more. I was right; they leaned in, tilting their head curiously to the side, "Ven," at Jess' expression I smiled. I was silent as they turned back to the man excitingly and said in a rushed voice, "sozza Mister Stranger-man-with-lollipops-and-other-yummy-things! But that's just an offer that I just can't refuse!"

Then they turned to me, grabbed my hand with a quick, "let's go!" and ran off, dragging me behind her, leaving the man to watch us go with a confused expression, wondering what on earth Ven was and if he could get some.

Ven's POV:

The first warning I had to the arrival and Teddy and Jess was Teddy grabbing my hand, shoving me at Jess and saying, "You belong to Jess now, go have fun." Then I was dragged off, vaguely aware of Jess' giggling and Lea's astonished look.

I was wrenched sideways as Jess turned a corner to hide behind a wall. I'm about to ask them what's going on when she motions for me to be quiet and whispers, "we'll go do some stuff later, but right now I want to see what Teddy and Lea do when they're 'alone' together." I look at them, taking in the mischievous look in their eyes, and the excited smile. I thought it wa fairly obvious from their expression that they knew all about the secret feelings of the two over there, so I ask, voice tinged with amazement, "you know how Lea feels about Teddy?" Apparently not, I cursed myself for so readily believing that they would. After all, for them to have known they would have to have been rather observant (which, given their air-headed manner, is rather impossible), or they would have had to be told by Lea (and taking into account their obvious inability to keep a secret, that wouldn't have happened either). I cringed, imagining Lea's reaction when he found out I told, then Jess began giggling. "This is great!" they cried, "I ship them so hard, and now it's like, like… canon!" They look at my expression and giggled again, "what, you're acting like you thought I didn't know! Duh, it was so obvious! People may think I don't pay attention, but I do! I am very aware of these sorts of things. I could tell that Lea liked Teddy for ages now, not to mention the fact that Teddy told me themself that they had a crush on Lea. I so wanted to tell them to just ask him out, but I figured it was important for them to figure it out. So I didn't say anything to anyone or anything! As for telling you, well, you told me about Lea so it's only fair. Besides… I trust you." They blushed a bit at the last bit they said and I couldn't help but thinking it was kinda cute. I didn't stay on my thought for long, aware of how close we were and knowing that if I kept thinking like that I wouldn't be able to stop myself kissing them.

I was, needless to say, shocked. They had pretty much destroyed two of my certain opinions of them. Apparently they were smarter than they acted, and they were also able to keep a secret when it was important, or affected someone close to them. I was… impressed.

I opened my mouth to say something, but Jess put a hand over my mouth, "shush," they whispered, pointing over to where Teddy and Lea where standing. We watched quietly, trying to hear what they were saying. I heard Jess make a frustrated noise when they couldn't' make out the words; it was clear that Teddy was saying something but we couldn't hear. Teddy turned to go, and I frowned, wondering what happened. Lea hadn't really said anything from what I could see. Then all of a sudden, he lunged forward, grabbed them by the hand, and kissed them.

Lea's POV:

I watched in shocked silence as Teddy shoved Ven at Jess saying something about them owning him now, before they ran off together, leaving me alone. With my crush since three years ago, Teddy.

I glance at Teddy, painfully aware of how close they were standing, and of how nice they were looking. I looked around, Jess and Ven had completely vanished, maybe Ven had decided to tell Jess how he felt about them. I sighed; this was the perfect opportunity to do the same. I turn to Teddy and try to think of a way to explain the way I felt about them without sounding weird. They were looking oddly pensive and I raised an eyebrow wondering what was wrong. Before I could ask they turned to me and said, "Lea, I like you." I stared at them, eyes wide. Surely, they just meant as a friend… right? There's no way I could actually be lucky enough to be liked by a person like Teddy. I'm just making things up, there's a perfectly reasonable answer. Trying to prove it to myself I forced a smile, "you mean… like a friend?" Teddy frowned, "no, I mean more than a friend… as in, love." I stared, ignoring the fact that I was blushing like crazy by now. Yep, Teddy was the only person that could make big, bad Lea blush. But when I did blush, I turned redder than my hair. My mind tried to process what they said, while my heart was thumping painfully in my chest shouting, "OMG! They said love! They said LOVE!" After a few moments of staring blankly, Teddy's lips began to tremble a bit, and their eyes got all shiny like they about to start crying, they turned around and said softly, "I didn't really expect you to feel the same way; I just thought you should know."

So while one part of my mind was marvelling at their bravery at doing something I had been too frightened to, another part was screaming at me, "Get your butt into gear Lea! Walking away is bad. No walking away! That will make you sad! Stop them from walking away! Now!" Acting on adrenaline, I stepped forwards and gabbed Teddy's hand. Pulling them back to me, I bent over and kissed them. I could feel them stiffen for a moment, then, hesitantly, they put arms around me and started kissing back. I wrapped my arms around them and pulled them closer. My mind was racing and my heart was doing the foxtrot… or some other kind of jumpy dance. I completely forgot about the fact that we were in the middle of the café, I didn't notice that people had started to stare. Al I thought about was Teddy, being held in my arms, kissing them with all my heart. In a state of utter bliss.

I pulled away for a few seconds, leaning into to whisper, "I love you," before I kissed them once more. Not planning on letting go for some time. That plan was kinda cut short when there was a shriek from not too far away. Teddy and I broke apart, even though my heart was crying, "who cares if someone's being murdered! Just kiss them some more!" But I ignored it, and looked over to where the sound had come from, just in time to see Jess jump at Ven and kiss him.

Even from over where I was standing I could see they were both blushing. Teddy was standing next to me jumping up and down ecstatically, "oh my gosh!" They cried. "They are so cute; I've been shipping them so hard for ages now." I sighed, 'and out comes Teddy's inner fangirl' I though a tad regretfully. No more kissing for today, they'd be too busy jumping around like a hyped up little child.

Jess' POV:

I had been busy obsessing over Teddy and Lea, "oh my gosh, I can't believe they finally told each how they felt! And then that kiss… and then… and then… and…. Oh my gosh! They're just so…. So…. Sweet! It's like… kyaah! Fangirling! Total squee moment!" I spun around to face Ven who was looking at me with such an odd expression on his face that I faltered for a few moments, "Ven…?" I asked nervously. Unsure as to what was wrong.

All of a sudden, he leaned in and kissed me on the lips! I froze, dumbfounded, staying silent even after he had pulled away. "I…I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself," he whispered softly, looking anywhere but me. "I shouldn't have done that, but… I've liked you for so long and I…" he was looking at me now, desperately searching my face. Whatever he had found must have disappointed him because he looked away again, a blush colouring his cheek.

He was so cute, looking like that. He didn't even look in my general direction. So he was totally and completely unprepared when I launched myself at him squealing, and kissed him. He stiffened, then put his arms around me. I pulled away after a few seconds. It was only a small kiss but I was blushing, redder than Lea's hair, and Ven looked the same. I hugged him tight, "I love you," I could tell he'd gone an even deeper shade of red; I was still blushing pretty hard myself. But I ignored that and buried my face in his chest.

Then Ven put his arms around me and whispered, "I love you, Jess." And I couldn't keep still. I jumped up squealing, grabbed his hand and dragged Ventus over to where Teddy and Lea were standing, staring. Or rather… Lea was staring and Teddy was jumping up and down crying, "my OPT was meant to be! My OPT was meant to be!"

I ran up and hugged Teddy, crying out, "my two favourite shippings have come true. Vaguely aware of the confused look Ven threw Lea, and the reply, "don't ask, just… don't ask. It's fangirl language. Do I really look like I would understand?"

I jumped away from Teddy and ran over once more to Ven, and, blushing a little, I hugged him, deciding that I would explain all the fangirl terminology to him later. I glanced over to Teddy and we both shared and evil grin. I knew we were thinking the same thing. We would educate our boyfriends in the way of the otaku, and soon, they shall be squealing fangirls just like us. Mwahahaha. Ven tensed up for a moment against me as I shared the look with Teddy, and I knew he could tell something bad was going to happen. 'Too bad Ven,' I thought to myself viciously, no escape for you or Lea now. I smiled once more, as Ven hugged me, ignoring the incredulous looks we were getting. My smile broadened when I noticed Teddy hug Lea out of the corner of my eye. And I stood up on tiptoe kissing Ven on the nose, "thank you," I whispered, "what for?" he asked, cheeks tinged red, from the kiss I just gave him. I smiled, "for loving me."

Ven's POV:

To tell you the truth, when I hugged Jess and saw the look she sent to Teddy, I couldn't help but wonder if I was going to regret this. But when they kissed my nose, and thanked me loving them, my heart swelled to a point where I just didn't care. They could turn me into a raving fangirl, and I wouldn't mind.

Almost funny how my words came back to bite my on the butt.

But most of the time I was perfectly happy. Even when Jess made me watch some anime or another with them, or read a manga or anything like that, I didn't mind, because I knew they were doing it because I was their boyfriend.

Sometimes I would be walking, then they would come running up and launch herself at me, hugging me around the neck and babbling about how this character had finally gotten together with this character, and how it is so totally canon and stuff. And I can't help but think; Jess is a total and completely obsessive fangirl, sometimes bordering on crazy, but… they're my total and completely obsessive, almost-crazy fangirl. And you know what? I don't think I would have had it any other way.

ok take two let's see if this uploads correctly lol
