Ventus had been living within Sora's heart for a year or so now. He had been watching the young boy play and enjoy life in such a perfect place. Sora had long accepted that he had an extra friend with him, even if no one else knew about it. He often called Ventus 'His imaginary best buddy'.
Sora had friends, and loved them so dearly. Ventus couldn't help but feel connections to Terra and Aqua in the two, and felt glad, yet empty, that Sora had friends like them.
Suddenly, Sora tripped and hurt himself, Kairi and Riku not noticing and continuing to race.
Ventus instantly wrapped his heart around Sora's, singing to him with brotherly instinct
"Sora dear, don't you cry..." Sora stopped sniffling, listening to the voice in his heart "Sora dear, dry your eyes..." Ventus felt like crying, but also a strange joy at the thought of soothing Sora like this, I wonder if this is what parenthood is like... "Rest your dreams close to my heart, never to part, Sora my dear..."
Sora stood up, feeling better from Ventus's warmth and care. Ventus reluctantly let go of his embrace around Sora, patting him off to play "Little one, when you play... don't you mind, what they say..." Sora began running back to Riku and Kairi, while Ventus continued with a hollow feeling "Let those eyes, sparkle and shine, never a tear, Sora my dear..."
Ventus tried wiping away his teary feelings while Sora played, but couldn't help it. He missed Terra and Aqua so much. But Sora was there for him, and he would do...
"From your head, to your toes... Your so sweet, goodness knows... You are so precious to me, cute as can be, Sora my dear... Sora my dear..."
Ah Baby Mine... such a lovely lullaby... If you think about it, Ven and Sora's relationship is kinda like mom and child, at least that's how I think of it XD
