Heart of Darkness
A/N: Hello, thank you for reading my fanfic. Warning this chapter is totally on crack, and extremely long. It took me forever to write and it's not very good, but it's on crack so be aware of its drug problems. I'm aware some characters OOC and I do apologize for their acting skills. I'm not sure where this is heading so I'm open to ideas, well actually I do know where it's going but I'm not sure how to get there. Anywho I hope to right a chapter in the future from the POV of Vanitas or Ventus or both, if you have any ideas that would be great. I know it's going to be confusing but it's supposed to be and hopefully with a Vanitas POV it will be less confusing but I don't think I want to write it just yet, the date might come first or not idk…
Please review, I do like the one's I've already received. Don't be afraid to criticize especially on this chapter because it's so trippy I'm almost confused by it. I apologize for any grammar mistakes, I don't have a beta I wish I did, but I don't. While I was playing the game every other thought was "Terra you're an idiot, it's so obvious he's a pedophile! Terra you're so damn slow, you didn't realize you were being tricked because you're an idiot! Terra you dumbass he's tricking you!" and stuff like that because it was painstakingly obvious and yet he bought it so easily all the damn time. Zack wasn't nearly this naïve was he? Why do I compare people a lot, idk, whatever.
Anywho, I hope you all enjoy, I did, somehow… If you see any plot holes tell me because I tend to make them on accident and I don't like them at all.
I do not own these characters but I bought the game and it's awesome!
Chapter 2: A gift given
Everyone was laughing for no apparent reason at all including me. We were sitting at a long dinning table, every seat was filled, and there was Master, Aqua, Ventus, me, and many little blue dog-like creatures. There was a feast before us consisting of all sorts' cheese products, blue, goat, cheddar, cubed, sliced, and even that canned stuff you just spray on your crackers. The table was set in the middle of a wasteland valley and we were surrounded by corroded keyblades.
Ven held out a platter of cheese to me, "Terra Have some cheeeeeesssse! He, he, it's amaaaaazing!"
I took a slice, "Don't mind if I do, ha, ha," he was so adorable, him and his cheese.
"Terra, mhm, you look funny with those, ha, ha, flowers in your hair!" Aqua pointed at me.
"Ha, ha, I guess you're right!"
"Terra, bwa, ha, ha, you're like a son to me. Isn't that hilarious?" Master Eraqus asked.
"Yeah it is, tch, he, he. This is trippy and this cheese, it's flavorless."
I stopped laughing and realized just how off everything was. It was like everyone was high, but most of all flavorless cheese? That just isn't normal. Looking around I finally noticed the masked figure at the other end of the table. He wasn't laughing like all my friends were he just continued to look directly toward me though it was hard to tell with that mask on. He reached out his hand and beckoned to me but I just looked away and towards the beautiful creature across from me. Ven stopped laughing as he noticed my gaze and he reached out his hand to me. I reached across, leaning over the food, but my hand could not reach his.
A familiar stream of ice hit my spine and I froze, everything did, all was silent as though time had completely stopped. Even Ven was entirely motionless, not breathing or blinking, yet some how the blue creatures were fidgeting in their seats silently, all staring at me. Then I noticed the seat where the masked boy sat was completely empty. I refocused on the still Ventus and reattempted to grasp his hand. I stood up to extend my reach causing my chair to fall back and when it hit the ground everything shattered. Just as I was about to reach him, he too shattered, and I fell into a bottomless pit of darkness. I couldn't scream, I couldn't move, the darkness had completely surrounded me.
It felt like I had been falling for ages and all I could think about was Ven. With what little strength I could muster I called out his name in a single husky breath. My eyes began to narrow just as a light appeared before me and when I couldn't open them at all I felt warm hands grabbing hold of me, keeping me close. I tried to move but couldn't and yet I felt perfectly safe and at peace in those arms.
I heard a familiar and sweet voice as I felt a soft hand gently caress my cheek, "Terra, you're safe with me. I'll protect you from now on so don't worry. I'll always accept you for who you are so you don't have to put on a brave face."
Opening my eyes was difficult but I managed to get them to stay open even with the blinding light. A silhouette of spiky hair shielded me from the blinding light as they looked down upon me. I felt as though my head were resting in their lap and I reached out to touch their face.
"Ven," I managed to whisper. "This is just a dream right?"
I couldn't see his expression or anything really but from his tone I could tell he was smiling, "Yeah, this is all in your head."
I pulled a smile and closed my eyes, "Then I hope I never wake up."
He stroked my face, "How much do you love me Terra?"
I chuckled, "Did you forget? I love you more than anything and greater still."
"Oh… do you think that will ever change?"
I opened my eyes I still couldn't make out a single feature do to the overbearingly white light, "I don't think it will."
"Would you still love me even if I did something unforgivable? Do you love every part of me, even the darkest parts?"
I tried to lean up but couldn't find the strength to do so, "Ven? What's this all of a sudden? Of course my feeling will never change. I'll love you, all of you, no matter what."
I felt him brush the bangs away from my face, "Promise me that you will never betray me that you will love me and only me, all of me, until the day when all hearts die."
Sitting up I leaned in close to his face, my eyes shut, "I promise I'm all yours." Our lips touched and I wrapped my arms around his small waist as he wrapped his arms over my shoulders. I pulled Ventus into my lap, his legs wrapped around my waist, and he rubbed himself against me. He arched his back as I pulled him even closer. I began running kisses down his neck as he leaned his head back and I noticed all of a sudden that he was completely naked, I was completely naked.
Flush had exploded across my face as I continued my trail running my hands around his torso and stopping at his nipples tweaking them carefully between my large callused digits. He moaned and arched in pleasure holding my head closer to him. I began sucking on his sweet and salty skin, so soft and smooth to touch. I felt my member harden as he continued to make heated noises and rub his hands across my back. He traced the scars between my spine and shoulder blades as well as the ones lower on my back.
I guided his torso to the ground and crawled on top of him with my eyes open once again. We were in my room and on my bed, still naked, and in the darkness he was still hard to see but I already knew his face by heart. We were both completely hard now as we both took the moment to try and catch our breath. Everything felt right as he lied there beneath me. I could see the glimmering trail of salvia leading from his mouth and I leaned down to lick it up from his face until I reached the edge of his lips. We kissed passionately for what seemed like hours before stopping to take heavy helpings of air.
"Te-Terra, I want- I want you inside of me," a voice mocked from the corner of the room. We stopped, turning our faces toward the black haired doppelganger. He was frowning, as though he was jealous.
"Va-Vanitas! What are you doing here?" I asked, pulling the covers over us as quickly as possible.
"I don't know, this is your dream, you tell me," he grinned stepping out of the shadows, revealing that he too was naked.
I quickly looked away, "Put some clothes on and get out of my dream!"
He sat on the bed casually and wrapped his arms around me, purring into my ear, "I don't want to. Besides the more the merrier, you know you want some of this." I felt teeth nibble my sensitive skin and I completely jumped out of bed.
I looked back, the sight of the two almost identical boys completely naked on my bed catching me off guard. Ventus had the look of utter confusion on his face and Vanitas looked like a predator on the prowl as he stared intently at my naked form. I covered my vital regions with my hands and flushed, "Why are you looking at my junk like that?"
"Why are you so aroused?" Vanitas smirked.
"Why is there another me?" Ven asked utterly lost. He looked so cute, all sweaty, exhausted, and confused.
"WTF?" Aqua stepped into the room. She was only wearing a set of black lingerie which would have been rather sexy except I don't view her that way so… yeah.
"Aqua, you're here too?" When did my dreams become, like this? At least she had clothes.
"Wow, Terra, two at once and twins none the less. Wohoo let me in too!" She jumped on the bed next to Vanitas. My bed isn't that big so you can just imagine how freaking weird the image was.
"Aqua, Vanitas, both of you, out," I pointed toward the door with one hand still covering my unmentionables.
"Awe, but I wanted to rock your world," Vanitas whined with a sarcastic grin.
"What's happening?" Ven whimpered, curled under the covers at the top of my bed.
"Orgy," Aqua replied.
"Can't I have sex in peace?" I rolled my eyes.
"No, because it's not with me and you're still a virgin in real life," the yellow eyed cretin crossed his arms and sat applesauce style. No decency.
Aqua gasped sarcastically, "Terra, you're a virgin?"
I blushed violently, "Shut up you two! It's not like any of you have had sex before!"
"Actually-"
"Shut up Vanitas!" I snapped.
"Terra lighten up, and you think I'm a girl, psh, you PMS more than I do," Aqua lazed back onto Ventus, whom was still very shocked.
I was just about to pull the very hair out of my head when there was a knock on the door. I don't know why, but I answered it. There in the hall stood a man I had never seen before but he looked somewhat related to me. Maybe it was the hair?
"Can I help you?" I'm a bit busy dealing with crazy people.
"Yeah I heard there was an orgy somewhere in this castle and I wondering if-Oh it's in here guys!" He waved over a large group of handsome men and beautiful woman, all of which I had never seen before.
I panicked. I shoved him and ran out the door, all eyes on my nakedness, as I made my way to god knows where. There were many things flowing through my mind. I wanted some clothes mostly, running nude felt wrong, and some alone time, away from everyone. Even Ven.
I screamed at the top of my lounges, "All I want is a descent pair of pants!"
And then suddenly my wish was granted. A pair of the most comfortable pants appeared on my lower half and I stopped running to admire them.
The thing about dreams, they are random, crazy, and don't make any sense. Yet these pants, at the time, they made perfect sense. It was like a sunny day in the meadow with all the deer frolicking through the forest. A picnic setup in the middle of a clearing and the one at the center of it all was Ventus with one blue popsicle in his hands, undoubtedly for us to share. In other words heaven, only these were pants, and they sung choruses of butterflies and rainbows.
Am I high? Was I high? I don't normally think about these fluffy things.
"How do you like the pants?"
"Love them."
"Good, I'm glad you like them," arms weaved around me from behind as I continued to admire the strangely amazing pants.
"By the way…"
"Hm?"
"Get the fuck out of my dream."
"You are very rude."
"Comes with the package, take it or leave it."
"I say take," he snuggled into my back.
"Why are you so interested in me?"
"Because I know you."
"No you don't."
"But I do. I've always known you. I saw the truth long before anyone else."
"I don't understand your logic."
"That's because you don't want to. That and you are paying way too much attention to those pants."
"They are amazing. I think Ven would like them."
"Ven, Ven, Ven, always Ventus, but what about me?"
I unlatched his arms and turned to face him, my hands on his shoulders, "Vanitas, you may look like Ventus but the thing is that's all. You don't act like him, you have the same voice but the way you talk is different, and the way you move it's not the same. I love Ventus and I don't think you're a bad person but I don't love you."
Vanitas frowned and looked down, "But you said you loved us more than anything. You said that to both of us."
"No I said that to Ven, it was meant only for him," I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"But I am Ventus. I'm all of the darkest parts of him and you said you'd love every part of us." He looked up at me and for a moment I saw Ven.
"What are you trying to say?"
Vanitas looked me straight in the eyes and I was caught in a trance, "Ventus and I once shared a body and though we are now apart we still share the same soul. He holds the light and I am the dark but we are similar still. I can tell what it is he wants because I too share the same desire."
"When we were in that place filled with light I wasn't just talking to him right?" I asked.
"Yeah, you were with both of us and it wasn't until a little later that we separated again. I guess you wanted to see us that way. I mean, this is your dream. I wouldn't be here if you didn't want it." He smirked and it was kind of cute in its own little way.
"Heh, maybe if I had met you under different circumstances we could be friends," I grinned and started walking away.
"Just friends…" he whispered sadly.
These pants were really amazing I just had to show them to Ven. I began to look for him, I looked everywhere including my room which was now empty, the only place left was the training area. I ran outside and almost ran smack into Master Eraqus.
"Master," I gasped.
"Terra, where are you off to?" he asked me. He was like a father to me but I would never say that aloud.
"I'm looking for Ventus, have you seen him?"
"Ventus? He's right there," he pointed toward the entrance to the training grounds. It took me a few seconds but when I spotted him my heart stopped. Ven was just laying there face down on the ground.
"Ven!" I called to him and ran passed his Elderness. I slid next to him on my knees and lifted his head. "Ven!"
His eyelids slowly flickered opened, his azure orbs looking up at me. "Terra," his voice was weak and scratchy but at least he was alive.
"Ventus, tell me what happened. Who did this to you?" I felt tears start to well up in my eyes.
He looked toward the castle, no to Master Eraqus. He did this, but why?
I lifted his entire body into my arms and stood, "You're safe now. Don't worry, I'll protect you." I turned to face our Master and fury reddened my features. "Why did you do this? How could you do this?"
Now it was his turn to look angry, "Terra, are you telling me you're worried about that abomination?"
"Of course I'm worried and he's not an abomination! What's wrong with you Master?" I yelled.
"That atrocity, do you know what he told me, he told me he loved you! The darkness cannot be allowed to spread. I cannot allow such a despicable thing to occur. It's because of these atrocious desires that you're being swallowed by the darkness Terra! Now put that wicked creature down so that I can end this before it even begins. It's for the best," he summoned his keyblade and stood in his usual battle ready samurai stance.
Why was he doing this? Why can't Ven and I be together?
"I can't do that Master Eraqus I love him more than everything else there is to love. No one can take that away from me, not you, not the damned darkness, and definitely not that lookalike bastard Vanitas. I don't want to fight you. You don't have to do this." I looked down at those beautiful blue eyes and he smiled weakly back at me. This person in my arms is the most important person I know or ever will. I'm not letting that smile fade away I fell in love with that smile.
He yelled, "So the darkness has already conquered you. You leave me no choice," he raised his weapon above his head. You're wrong Master, you have a choice you're just too blind and stubborn to see it. There's nothing wrong with our love. "Prepare yourself, Terra. I'm going to free you from this madness." I couldn't understand why but I knew I had to fight back.
I gently placed Ventus on the ground and summoned Earthshaker. A calm and warm wave engulfed me and I felt the amazingness of my awesome pants give me additional strength. He came towards me and took a deep breath of air, raising the oversized key over my head. Master prepared to strike me, close quarters, but that was his mistake. I struck him with all my strength and at the last second before it connected I felt something else give power to my swing.
Earthshaker made contact with his ribcage and he landed on the ground several feet away. I looked at my hands and there it was, he was right, the darkness was in me. I dropped Earthshaker as the darkness engulfed it. Morphing it into an unrecognizable keyblade I was unfamiliar with. I felt ashamed that I had allowed this to happen and yet I felt strong, I felt the power pulsating from the black masses. A smile crept onto my face and I accepted it, it felt so good.
"Terra," Ven crocked, I snapped out of my daze and ran to his side.
"Ventus!" I was about to touch him but stopped short when I felt like if I did I would only hurt him.
"Terra," he reached out his hand to cup my cheek but I pulled away. I had proved Master right by using the darkness. I didn't help Ven at all I just beat up the man who's cared for us for all these years without batting a lash. What was wrong with me?
He looked sadly up at me, "Terra, what's wrong?"
"I'm dirty," I whispered. "I don't deserve to touch someone so pure."
"Don't say that. You saved me and if you hadn't then I would be the one that… You didn't do anything wrong."
"No, I should have tried to reason with him and show him that our love is not a product of darkness. Instead I… Ventus I'm sorry but I have to go." I got up and activated my armor.
He lifted his torso with all his strength, "Terra!" but it was too late, I was already gone.
+~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~+
I opened my eyes and I was in my bedroom on my bed. The sunlight was peering in through the window. Lifting my torso I yawned and stretched my arms. That was the weirdest semi-wet dream I ever had, not to mention the saddest.
None of it made sense, especially my obsession with those pants, what the fuck was that, I don't know. Vanitas, of all people, was there too, I can't remember what we talked about, but for some reason I felt more respect toward him or was this feeling loathing? I didn't even get passed my make out session with Ven! Outrageous! And was all that stuff about an orgy? I'm not even quite sure I know what that is.
Crack, I must be on crack that's the only explanation. Or this whole Vanitas being Ventus's doppelganger is getting to my head. Or maybe what Ven said to me yesterday is affecting to me too.
"How much do you love them?"
Would I really kill someone I care about just for him? Is that how much I love him? Is that the source of the darkness that resides within my love, the desire to destroy anyone and everything that would dare harm Ven?
I looked over to the vase on my cupboard and the flowers seemed to be doing just fine. Those precious little plants were his way to express how he felt. He didn't have to hurt anyone to show he cared and me… I can do the same. I will protect Ventus without the darkness and instead of attacking I will defend. That's easier said than done but I will be the best person I can be just for him.
I stood up and began my routine morning excercises.
+~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~+
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Aqua hovered over me as I lounged leisurely leaning back in a dining room chair.
"Sitting," I rocked the chair on its back legs with a little bit of a push from my heel.
She raised an eyebrow not amused, "Terra, you're supposed to be assisting me to prepare for the surprise party while Ven distracts Master for the next few hours. Now get off your lazy ass and help."
I groaned but got up anyway, "Ok what do want me to do?"
She handed me a folded banner and a stapler, "Find a ladder and hang this over there. Make sure it's even and not lopsided. Don't give me that look Terra I know what you're thinking. The ladder should be in the storage room, you know the one where it always is."
I let out another groan and placed the banner on the table with the stapler before venturing into the halls I was running naked in just earlier in my dreams. Now where was the storage room again, wasn't it somewhere near the library? Yeah that sounds right. So I made a turn toward the library and found myself in front of an old dusty door. It wreaked storage room as I turned the handle but what I saw made my mouth gape open as I looked upon the interior of the room in shock.
There was red and black paint flung over all the white furniture, the floor, and walls. The bed in the corner was untouched however and was the only thing not covered with cobwebs and dust. I took a few steps in and looked back only to see fa—ot written on the wall. I closed the door and the word was complete. Faggot.
Who would do this? Whose room was this? Is this some strange practical joke or something? I looked at the door knob and realized this was the room Master Eraqus usually had locked up. One he told us never to go into…
The hateful words he'd spoken in my dream came searing back.
"Are you telling me you're worried about that abomination?.. That atrocity, do you know what he told me, he told me he loved you!.. It's because of these atrocious desires that you're being swallowed by the darkness Terra!.. Now put that wicked creature down so that I can end this before it even begins…"
I held my head down as tears ran down my face, "What secrets are you hiding Master?" I whispered and wiped away the salty droplets. Was that dream more than just a dream, a premonition? Had something like this happened before? Was master on the receiving or giving end of this… this thing here?
Rushing out of the room I slammed the door and felt the fury swell up inside my chest. I walked at a fast pace but before I reared the corner I heard a small click and looked back. The door had locked itself…
+~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~+
It was really a nice day outside, the sun was bright and its glow was warm and comforting. The sky was clear and made me think of those eyes I'd come to love so much. The breeze was refreshing and carried the fragrance of the mountains that surrounded my home. It's amazing how nature can just cool your nerves and make you feel better even when you're about to burst like a volcano.
The main reason why the outdoors calms me so much is probably because it reminds me so much of Ventus or maybe it's the other way around. I've always loved just sitting on grass watching the scenery morph slowly around me especially after a hard days training. Of course I can't sit out here forever but wouldn't it be nice if every moment was filled with this serene aroma.
I couldn't help but wonder how Ven was handling his Elderness right now. Thinking of Master was a bit painful at the moment so I focused solely on Ventus. He was probably having trouble keeping the secret to himself, if it were me I'd probably distract Master with one on one training, it would make the old man lose his track on time. Oh god damn it I can't stop thinking about Eraqus, then it just reminds me of that room and the dream, and then I look at the sky, think of Ventus and what he's doing right now, it all goes in a huge cycle.
What else can I think about? Aqua? She's been a total bitch lately… That's all I can come up with. Anything, anyone else? Vanitas? I don't want to ever think about that guy again…
I sighed, I couldn't think about training, or the surprise party, or even how much I would just love to hold Ventus right then and there. No, all I could think about is my weird ass dream and how it meant so much more than what it was. If I told Eraqus how I felt about Ventus what would happen?
"Terra why aren't you… Oh, are you feeling alright?" Aqua sat next to me. Her concern was comforting.
"I don't think I should tell Master after all. About… you know," I sighed and rubbed my temples.
"Why did he say something to you? I thought he was in the training area with Ven," she watched me with her blue eyes. It was strange how we all had blue eyes, Aqua, Ven, and me.
"Are they? No he didn't say anything but you know that room he always used to tell us never to go into even though it was locked. I accidently went in there thinking it was the storage room and it was awful. Someone had thrown paint everywhere and written faggot on the wall. The atmosphere in there made me want to puke," he rubbed my stomach, that of it made me queasy.
"Really? That's not what I would have expected. Do you think the Master did that? Do you know whose room it was?" She rubbed my shoulder soothingly.
"No I don't," I shook my head, "but we know that he and the other masters use to live here when they were training like us. He and Master Xehanort are the only two I'm sure of but I know there were probably a few others with how huge this place is."
"Well you can wonder all you want but we have some decorations to hang and don't worry about the ladder. I've already taken care of it." She smiled and rose from the ground.
"Thanks Aqua," I stood too.
"Don't mention it. I'm your best friend after all and I know your dealing with your… emotions right now. I can't just let you mope there while I do all the work but I can't just stab you in the heart either. I just hope you learn to be more productive with your drama in the future," She patted me on the back with a smile and we went inside.
It took us a mere thirty minutes to hang all of the decorations and set up the table. Aqua left me to prepare the meal so I just sat there at the long table alone. After having leaned back on my chair for ten minutes I grew bored and looked around to see what we had actually done. The room was nice, not too formal but not too fifth-birthday-party-esk either. Then I looked at the table and it hit me like a concrete filled piano. It was set just like in my dream except it lacked food, people, and those blue dog things.
A bead of sweat ran down my face, "Freaky," I whispered under my breath. If that's spot on what else is?
The double doors swung open and I turned my head to see Ventus. He was covered in tempting droplets of sweat as his breath was hot and heavy, and his face was completely red. I knew Master's training was 'intense' but hot damn we should volunteer Ven to do it more often.
He half jogged over to me, "Te-Terra," he struggled to catch his breath. "Ma-Master's coming. I managed to- to get here before him to worn you but… are you guys ready?"
I ruffled his adorable blonde head, damp with sweat, and smiled, "Yeah, you did good. Now get yourself a glass of water in the kitchen and tell Aqua. Let me stall the old man for a bit."
"O-ok," he heaved before sprinting to the kitchen. I couldn't help but look down at his nicely shaped rear as it was practically in my face for a second there. Ventus should be more careful with how he conducts himself around me or I won't be able to hold back for much longer.
I stood up and made my way through the halls. Master was heading toward the bathing area when I spotted him. He wasn't nearly as worn out as Ventus was but with his old age I could tell he wasn't entirely unfazed.
"Oh Terra, I haven't seen you or Aqua all day, what have you two been up to?" He smiled the way father would to his son. He really was like a father to me.
"You know the usual. She's been practicing spells and I've been lifting weights. We didn't want to disturb you two after all. It's rare for any of us to get your special lessons." Is it me or did that sound wrong? Yeah it's definitely just me.
"So you spent the day together, must be nice… I've been meaning to confront you on a specific matter lately. You wouldn't mind taking a walk with me would you?"
I chuckled, "Master, you don't even have to ask."
We made our away through the halls slowly, this would definitely save Aqua and Ven some time. Master had his usual scholarly expression for a minute before taking on a soft smile. "Terra, I've noticed you've been acting strangely lately." Oh shit! "Is there maybe something going on between you and-"
"No, of course not!" I said that way too enthusiastically.
He gave a deep laugh, "You don't have to be shy with me boy. If it's my opinion you're worried about then here it is-" I'm going to die! "I completely approve." Wait what? "In fact I sympathize. When I was your age all I could think about was my fellow key bearer, Nixe. I had never before seen a better ass in all my life."
…
What?
WTF!
He's gay? So that room… was his? Now it makes perfect sense. So I have nothing to worry about and I can be with Venny! ^( O,O)^ Party time!
My face flustered, "How… how did you know?"
"Well I was a boy in love once and I faced the same ordeal," He patted me on the back.
"Just promise me one thing Master," I stopped to look him straight in the eyes. He was so accepting, I admired that about him. However I'm not so much.
"Never say ass again please."
He laughed, "Oh, alright. Now I need to change. I will see you latter, Terra."
We parted ways as I practically danced all the way to the dining hall. Once I reached there I saw Ventus placing some boxes on the table. I practically teleported to the other side of the room next to him and scooped him up by the hip and held him above by head like a child.
His eyes were wide with shock as I spun around gleefully before plopping him back down to earth. My mouth hurt I was smiling so widely but I couldn't help it, I was so happy.
Ventus blinked a few times with a confused smile and a raised brow, "Terra, why are you so… smiley?"
I kept my hands on his tiny perfect waist, "I'm happy because…" I felt as though I was about to cry I was so happy. I use to think that we couldn't be together but now that's changed. "I can love you freely." There I said it. Ven I love you so much, I finally said it to you.
"T-Terra…" the edges of his lips curled into the most beautiful smile. I just had to kiss those soft pink lips.
I pulled him close and his cheeks flushed to a deep rosy shade. I leaned my head down to his until our lips finally met. No tongue, just a pure, passionate, and long tender kiss. I pulled away and his eyes were glazed over with hot fever.
He smiled and looped his arms around, "Terra, kiss me." Nothing else had to be said. I picked him up and sat him on top of the table. Our lips connected and he ran his tiny digits through my hair as ran my hands under his shirt. My tongue rammed into his mouth, exchanging saliva, as I rubbed his tongue against my own. Heat spread throughout my body and gathered in my nether regions, as his legs wrapped around my waist. He practically purred as mouthed my hands around and across to his abs until I reached his hard pink nipples.
I flicked one with my pointer finger and he moaned seductively as I finally disconnected our lips. His eyes looked directly into mine as we gasped desperately for air. His sweet and sweaty face was too adorable and I smiled deviously. I began to suck at the lobe of his ear, gently nibbling the soft flesh between my teeth. Ventus held me in his arms before nervously pushing me away.
His face was heated and had a hint of regret, "We shouldn't do this here."
I pulled away a bit, saddened. I was about to protest but he was right, the middle of the dining room was not the best place. "You're right, I'm sorry."
"No, don't be. I asked you to kiss me remember. Let me go get changed, after the party we can meet up in my room perhaps…" Ven looked down with hesitation.
I cupped his face, "Whatever you want." I quickly pecked my lips against his forehead before pulling away. He jumped down and straightened his shirt before smiling up at me.
He grazed my lips with his fingers before darting away. I stood there for five minutes staring blankly after him, still feeling his touch on my lips. I did it. I finally did it. I told him, and he responded way better than I could ever dream. We were finally together, without fear, doubt, or hesitation. I can finally hold Ventus and not suppress my overwhelming desires.
The door to the kitchen opened, Aqua came out holding a giant tray of sushi, and she placed it on the table. The door opened again and I saw Ven nervously carrying a large jug of sake. My heart stopped. How did he change and get here so fast? I must have lost track of time or… Vanitas. He tricked me again. How dare he I'll kill him!
"Oh you brought the present already. Wait what's this? Did you put this here?" I looked at the box she was holding and it was the one a saw Ve… the one I saw Vanitas handling earlier.
"No I didn't…"
She came up to me with an expression of unease, "Are you alright? You look pale."
"I-I'm fine," I bit the bottom of my lip I knew she didn't buy it.
"Are you sure you're not coming down with a cold? I could make you something, it would take awhile but I don't want you to force yourself through tonight," she reached for my forehead but I moved back.
"I said I'm fine!" I snapped. She looked at me hurt and then I looked to Ventus… he seemed just as hurt as she was, frightened. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm just a bit lightheaded that's all."
"Terra… Did something happen?" she asked cautiously.
I can't tell them, I can never tell them. "Master should be here soon, we should get ready."
"Oh, right…" she gave me one last worried glance before heading toward the light switch. I turned toward Ven but he avoided my gaze.
I stepped close to him and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Do you like Aqua?" He looked down at the ground.
"What?" That was totally out of the blue. "What do you mean?"
"Master and I were talking earlier during training. He mentioned that he noticed that you've been acting strange and then he said he thinks it's because you're in love with Aqua." What? What! "So are you?"
"She's just like a sister to me but that's all," I insured him.
He gave a small sigh of relief "She and I were talking yesterday. She said that she likes you… more than just friends."
Wait what? I thought she liked Ven! I mean who couldn't like Ventus, he's too adorable. "I don't return those feelings. The one I love is-"
The lights turned off and the door creaked open, a silhouette blanketed the doorway. Aqua flipped the switch and we jumped into action, "Surprise!"
"Oh my, I wasn't expecting this." Master smiled but I could tell he was lying.
I gave the best fake smile I could and Ventus was doing the same.
"If you really weren't expecting this, you'd have had a heart attack old friend." Everyone turned to see Master Xehanort standing in the doorway.
"Well this is a real surprise," Eraqus patted his fellow keyblade master on the shoulder.
Ven looked slightly nervous, "So you figured out about our surprise party after all?"
Eraqus smiled, "Well why else would you volunteer for extra special training Ventus?" Oh god, it still sounds wrong. "But I'm very happy that you would all do this for me."
"Well I guess it can't be helped. Master Xehanort, are you staying for sushi and sake?" Aqua asked.
"Sake! Aqua, where did you find sake?" Eraqus demanded.
"Your alcohol cabinet sir, where you keep all your alcohol," she stated plainly.
"How did you… never mind please put it back where you found it," Eraqus commanded pointing at the sake bottle.
Xehanort took his friend's shoulder, "Now Eraqus, what harm can it be just this once. Once they've had just one sip they'll never try the stuff again, besides what's the worst that could happen?"
Eraqus sighed, "I suppose just this once is fine."
Suddenly I realized what just happened. Alcohol. I get to try alcohol without sneaking it! There were times I had seen Eraqus downing the stuff like medicine and so I wanted to try. Now every once in awhile I sneak into the cabinet and take a sip. Nothing really happened as a result but now I get a chance to have a whole glass and I heard it can do a down man good.
We all took our places at the table as Aqua served the dishes and the sake. Once she was done it was time to eat. I immediately took a sip of sake. It was nothing unusual, I had tried the stuff before, yet it somehow tasted better now that it wasn't stolen. Ventus was so cute fumbling with the chopsticks.
After a minute of watching his adorable face go from a pout to a scowl I stood up and came up behind him. I took his small extremely soft hand, "Here let me help." He blushed as I fixed his hold, "Think of them as an extension of your fingers like how a sword is an extension of your arm. Carefully use the chopsticks like tongs to pick up the roll. Your goal isn't to crush or smash you food but to safely transport it from your plate to your mouth like this." I guided his hand until he had a swallowed a piece. "Remember you hold the top one the same way you would a pencil and the bottom stays stationary, balanced between your thumb and pointer finger and held in place by your ring finger, only the top one moves. Once you're able to pick up a single grain of rice without trouble then you know you're a true master."
I pulled away and returned to my seat. I watched as Ven carefully picked up a piece but as he lifted it the chopsticks slipped and crushed the piece. I laughed, "Well you'll get used to it eventually."
He looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes, "Thanks for trying, Terra."
"It's no problem, when Eraqus was trying to teach me I was just as terrible, but after I got use to it and I became master, watch." I took my chopsticks and with little effort picked up a single grain of rice from the rice bowl. "Of course you can't eat it one grain at a time but it lets you know just how good you are."
Ventus smiled cheerfully and began trying again. Eraqus gave me a knowing nod as though he were proud the art form chopsticks being passed down was something to be proud about or maybe my teaching skills are what made him look so proud…
"So, Terra," I turned my head toward the raspy voiced master, "How's your training? I hope you aren't slacking."
I grinned, "I take my training very seriously. There's not a day where I wake up and don't complete at least three hundred pushups and sit-ups. Then I end everyday with squats. Between all that I have my near daily training with Aqua and Ventus. On weekends I lift weights and practice by myself." I unconsciously admired my own biceps. I rarely thought about it but my muscles are pretty damn sexy.
He lifted a brow, "Impressive. There's no doubt your strength is unmatched."
"No kidding, I've been under Eraqus's training for twelve or so years now. Yet I'm sure I have room to improve." That's right I need more strength to protect Ventus and Aqua, but mostly Ventus.
"Yes, I completely understand. I was just like you when I was your age." Don't tell me, an old man speech. "But you probably don't want to hear about me." Is he psychic or maybe he's just not your typical old geezer. I like him, he seems cool.
"Now Eraqus, I have something for you," Xehanort seemed to pull a gift wrapped from thin air and handed it to my Master.
Eraqus opened the gift and smiled, "New shoes, how kind of you." I'm glad we didn't buy him shoes too now.
Aqua stood and brought our gift and Vanitas's, "Here Master, we bought this together and this, Terra denies it, but this is from him."
It's not from me, "It's not from me."
"Then who's it from?" Eraqus asked.
I ground my teeth at the thought of Vanitas, "I have no idea. Maybe a blue monster brought it in to try and attack us from the inside."
Eraqus laughed, "I hope not." He proceeded to open our collective gift. "Amazing, is this an antique?"
"Yeah, I found it in an antique store. Aqua haggled the price down though. We all paid for it together," I was happy he liked it, but I was still worried by the other gift.
Xehanort took the sword to examine it while Eraqus began opening the mystery gift. What had Vanitas put in there, a can of snakes, real snakes, a poisonous apple, or maybe pipe bomb? Eraqus removed the wrapping paper to reveal a box, it could have held anything but when he opened it all it contained was an envelope? Ok that didn't make any sense.
"Terra, is this some kind of joke it's addressed to you?" Eraqus held the envelope out to me.
To me? What the hell… I opened the envelope to find a letter and a train ticket to someplace called Twilight Town. "Have you ever heard of Twilight Town Master?"
"I'm afraid I haven't," he replied.
I began reading the letter to myself.
Dear Terra,
I've watched you for awhile now from afar. By now we've only met a few times but I feel that it is time that we have a proper conversation, a date. Tomorrow at midnight wait at the edge of the Land of Departure and the train will find you so long as you have the ticket. If you are planning to ignore this then be warned, someone near and dear to you will die. Don't believe me, if you're willing to take that risk then I guess you really don't care about them after all. If you want your precious someone to remain unharmed I suggest you come without fail. Oh and once you've arrived I expect you to be on your very best behavior and do as I see fit. Dress nice, sleep well, and you are just adorable while you sleep. ~ 3
P.s. Bring money and don't let anyone read this after you done. I suggest you eat or burn it.
With Love,
You know who.
My entire body began to shake with fury, my complexion turned red with hatred, and with little effort I tore the letter in two. I stuffed the pieces in my pocket and stormed out of there, not bothering to look at their worried faces.
I want to kill him, I want to crush his tiny lit throat, and beat him till he's blue. How dare he threaten Ventus! Oh and Aqua and Master I suppose, but I'm sure he'll go after Ventus. Why would he go this far just for a stupid date? Now I'm standing here in front of everyone and they're wondering what the letter probably says. Damn that Vanitas, I hate him.
I locked the door behind me and dive bombed into my bed. I concentrated on my breathing exercises and it seemed like forever before I finally calmed down. Why would he do this? Why was he so interested in me?
After what felt like hours of brooding three knocks came at my door. I didn't reply but then the Master's voice sounded through it, "Terra, I'm not sure what happened, but maybe we should talk."
I sighed, got up, and unlocked the door. Eraqus walked passed me and I could smell the alcohol on his breathe before he sat on my bed. I closed the door and sat next to him. There were several minutes of silence before he finally shattered it.
"When I was a pupil like you there was a time where I received a letter in a similar fashion as you did just now," he confessed with a slurred speech.
He did? That's odd…
He continued speaking, "I thought it was from Nixe, she had a knack for strange displays of affection." Wait Nixe was a girl, whoops, I thought she was a boy. I guess that must mean Eraqus thought… he thought I liked Aqua just as Ventus said. And that means Ven and I… he doesn't know.
"But when I got there, the room was empty, or at least I thought it was. A fellow keybearer was waiting behind the door he locked us in the room… At first I thought he was going to beat me, or kill me or something like that but no, it was much worse. He came from behind me and raped me, I never saw his face, but I knew he was one of us. I was so scared and I didn't know what to do. Afterward I turned toward the light and it gave me what I needed to get passed that day. Now whenever I see a gay I know their heart is drenched in darkness. Whatever you do Terra, don't go and never allow them to get to you." He took my shoulders and looked me straight in the eyes, the scent of sake reeking from his mouth.
"I'm not gay," it's true, I'm not, I just like Ventus. He's the exception not the rule, "I would never rape Ventus." Yet, I guess he really doesn't approve after all…
"You don't get it the one who gets the letter is the one that's going to be raped!" He shook me almost violently.
"Ventus would never rape anyone!" I cried.
"I know that, the ticket was for that weird town I've never heard of. It must be from someone outside this world," no shit, I knew that was probably Vanitas's case. Being a shapeshifter he has to be from another world or something.
"Don't worry, I won't go. You should probably go to bed before you collapse," he was starting to sway. This was the first time I'd ever seen him this drunk.
"That's all-" he fell on his side on my bed and began to snore.
I sighed and lifted his feet onto the bed. Where was I going to sleep? Then I remembered Ventus's invitation to his room, well actually it was Vanitas's, so… wait why would Vanitas invite me to Ven's room? That didn't make any sense, he'd be running the risk of running into Ventus so why?
What if he hurts Ventus! I dashed out of my room till I reached Ven's room and quietly opened the door. "Ven?" I looked around his room and saw him sitting on his bed staring out the window in his pajamas.
He turned to me and smiled softly, "Weird night huh? After you left Master drank till he was drunk and Master Xehanort left. Aqua is probably still cleaning up the mess. I should have probably stayed behind to help her but after you left the party did wasn't fun anymore and I felt sick. What happened?"
That's right he doesn't know, Vanitas isn't here, maybe he realized his mistake in plans. It wasn't until I relaxed my muscles that I realized how tense I was. In a few short steps I reached his bed and sat down next to him.
I sighed, "His Elderness blacked out on my bed. I didn't want to move him so he's still there. Can I crash here for the night?" I can't believe I asked it without thinking. Red fever spread across my face like wildfire at the mere though of sharing a bed for one night.
He practically jumped onto my shoulder with great enthusiasm, "Sure! We can talk all night and maybe have a pillow fight and-"
"Ven it's not a sleepover, besides I'm kinda tired," as much as I hate killing his excitement, I really needed some sleep.
He gave me a disappointed frown, "Oh ok."
"Let me do my squats and then we can go to bed ok?" I smiled.
He seemed to perk up, "Can I join you?"
He was just too lovable, like a puppy, "Of course."
We stood up and we stood side by side. I easily started my routine, but Ventus struggled with the positions and fell back on his butt. He pouted adorably as I pulled him up. "Need help?"
"Yeah," he admitted embarrassed.
I stood behind him and supported his weight by his waist, "I'll help you keep balance, and you concentrate on bending and straightening your legs." He bent his legs and would have fallen back again if it weren't for me. "You don't want to lean back, lean forward," he did as he was told, "Yeah that's much better. Now try to get back up."
For the life of him he couldn't and I couldn't suppress a chuckle. "The key to getting back up is all in the toes, focus you weight there and the rest of your body becomes as light as a feather."
He rose and turned toward me amazed, "Wow Terra, you're an amazing teacher."
"Don't give me credit yet, you have to do it with out my help now. You should only do ten tonight and increase the amount with each work out. Besides, it's not me, you're just a fast learner," I patted his shoulder and returned to my spot.
After ten minutes I was done and Ven was working on his last one. He wasn't used to them so he was still having a bit of difficulty. When he was done he collapsed next to me on the bed, out of breath. His little body was covered in sweat and it took all my will power not to jump on top of him and tare off his clothes.
Ventus looked at me with those perfect blue orbs, "How do you do it?"
"You mean not die after working out, it takes years of conditioning," I patted my muscular upper arm to make sure it was still as strong as ever.
Ven sat up and leaned in close, "Can I touch them?"
I turned red, "Uh, sure." He placed his tiny hand on my arm and began feeling around the muscles.
"Wow, you're so toned," he made his way from my arm to my chest and to by abs. "I'm jealous, I could never catch up."
Was he trying to seduce me, man his touch felt so good, "You wouldn't look nearly as cute as you do now if you were anything like me," oops did that slip?
When I thought he couldn't lean any closer without being on my lap he did. Ventus's eyes bore into mine, "You think I'm cute?"
I wanted to take him into my arms so badly I could feel the heat in my groin surge rapidly. Sweat began to perspire from everywhere as I struggled to concentrate. "Yeah," I replied weakly.
Ventus was now pretty much on my lap, I was paralyzed by his presence fully aware of the close proximity, "Terra, do you remember yesterday?"
How could I not remember yesterday, it was the day Ven gave me flowers, the day we spent together not training, the day I met Vanitas… "Yeah," I practically squeaked.
His face was only a few inches away from mine, "You said the person I loved couldn't choose anyone else over me. Why?"
Oh god I wanted to close that little gap so badly, my heart was beating uncomfortably fast, "Because… because I oh screw it, I love you."
He blushed and pulled away a little before wrapping his arms around me. A hug, it felt so amazing, his tiny body embracing mine felt way better than the make out sessions I had with Vanitas, it felt so much more real. I felt his hot breath on my neck and my body tingled with anticipation, I swear his method of seduction was so much more deadly than Vanitas's. I hesitantly returned the embrace as his blonde hairs tickled my cheek. I wasn't sure if he was about to reject me or tell me the feeling was mutual but I didn't really care, as long as we could stay like this, locked in each other's arms for as long as possible I could make it through whatever he had to say.
Ventus nuzzled his sweet little nose into my collar bone it took all my moral integrity to keep from ripping his clothes off and planting my mark all across his petite body. He finally lifted his beautiful face his blue orbs sparkled in the moonlight boring their gaze into mine. Ven parted his soft lush lips and spoke in a soft whisper, "I'm getting better at this aren't I?"
Huh?
"What are you talking about?" I lifted a brow completely confused. Ven's lips curled into a sinister smile as he roughly pushed me down onto the bed, I yelped, and he straddled my waist, his eyes glowing yellow.
Vanitas? FUCK! He tricked me again!
I struggled under his grip but damn it the little guy was stronger than he looked, he pinned my wrists above my head with one hand, for the first time in my life I doubted my own strength or maybe I wasn't really struggling, I really couldn't tell I was filled with so many emotions. How did he manage to trick me again? That's the third fucking time!
"Terra, you're so cute. I understand how you feel when you look at him," he practically hissed at the mentioned of Ven, "It's like trying not to bite into your favorite candy, who wants to do that? Nobody, everyone wants to rip off the wrapper and indulge in the sticky, hard sweetness." Was he trying to make it sound dirty? I think he was.
Vanitas stared at me with a starved lust that caused chills to run up my spine, he really wanted to eat me. I gulped as I struggled in vain to wiggle out of his hold which still somehow seemed impossible to me with his tiny hands. He neared towards me and I started to try anything to keep our lips from connecting.
"Where's Ventus?" I asked, moving my face to the side.
He scowled and pulled back a bit, "He's passed out on the dinning table, out from one sip of alcohol, what a pansy. The blue girl, Rain, whatever her name was, couldn't lift him, of course my gravity spell does that and the so called magic nymph didn't even notice."
"You've been spying on us!" I accused disturbed.
"Not you as a whole just you," he cued as he ran the fingers of his free hand from my chest to my lips. The familiar memory of the gestured from before tingled across my skin as I felt my heart actually skip a beat. Why did this freak have this affect on me?
Heat engulfed my face, "Get off," I demanded unconvincingly. I sounded like I didn't want him to move which disturbed me completely.
Vanitas came to a centimeter away from my lips, his every movement seductive and sexy. "Come on Terra, you promised to meet me here didn't you?"
He was right I did, god damn it, I hate it when he's right! "I thought you were Ven!"
"That's always your excuse isn't it? I'm getting tired of it so let me show you what makes me so much better than that deadbeat Ventus," he held my chin in place as he covered my lips with his. I watched his hair turn black as I barely put up a fight against assault into my mouth. He expertly probed against every surface with his tongue and the fight in me vanished. My once tense muscles relaxed and body gave into the lusty temptation. It was like Vanitas had complete control over me and I was utterly powerless to stop him.
I began kissing back and he grinned with pride knowing fully that he had won. Vanitas ran his free hand down until he reached my erection that bulged visibly through my pants. He chuckled as he began to stroke it through the cloth and I moaned heatedly in response. My toes curled into the sheets as my hands begged to be set free and roam across his body again. I absolutely craved to touch that beautiful body, it was as though he was an incubus and I was completely under his spell.
Vanitas broke away from my lips and I instinctively tried to chase after him with little success. Lust has completely taken over my entire being, I simply wanted to devour him because he wanted to devour me and… I wanted to have Ventus for so long. Almost every night I pathetically dreamed of touching him and making love to him. Even though the boy in front of me wasn't the one I really wanted I still had to have it if only to satisfy the desires I had withdrawn for the other for so long. What was the harm in playing the little devil's game?
"Hold on Terra, you're too eager now and that just isn't cute?" Vanitas had the nerve to say that now when HE came on to ME!
"I thought you wanted this, we were making out only two minutes ago," a barked back with his own retort.
He released my wrists and sat up in between my legs, pinching his nose, "I don't want this to be just a physical thing."
"Oh really, you sure had me thinking differently!" I growled his spell over me completely broken.
"Don't you remember anything I tell you? I want what he wants, you. Body, mind, soul, and heart," he waved his finger to signify each.
"That was a dream, a very trippy dream, but still a dream," how did he know about my dream? And then a line from the letter hit me.
…You are just adorable while you sleep. ~ 3
"Some dreams come true," he smiled kindly, which was not something he usually did as far as I knew.
"Most dreams aren't as drugged up as that shit was."
"So crude, I wonder how Ventus would react." He gave a devilish grin.
"Don't bring Ven into this!" I yelled.
He brought his pointer finger to my lips, "Shh, we don't want to wake up the one person you don't want to find us in this situation the most."
I hate Vanitas so much, he had me at his mercy and I couldn't even call for help not that a drunken old man would be much help.
"Why me?" I whispered mostly to myself. It wasn't asked out of anger but rather out of a more pure emotion I couldn't seem to grasp the name of.
He seemed taken aback by my facial expression more so than my question, I knew whatever face I was pulling had to be one of self shame and loathing or utter weakness. "I don't know really how to answer that other than what I've already said before," he seemed to blush slightly as though he was embarrassed by his own words.
I don't know what came over me but I suddenly felt connected to the guy, we both seemed to feel awkward and somewhat confused by our feelings of the other. Was this what he meant when he said he understood me? "Vanitas… do you love someone?"
His eyes grew wide and his pale skin ran a deep shade of red, he actually looked kinda cute all embarrassed like that, "I-I… I don't do love, that's a Ven thing. I only feel the lust and greedy desires as a side effect from his needs. My heart only has darkness in it so I can't love only crave. We share the same wants but his are pure and mine are not." Vanitas actually looked miserable as admitting that, as though he wish it were love.
"Is that so?" I didn't believe it for some strange reason, that it was only lust.
"It is, the only reason I've gone this far for you is because your heart won't shut the fuck up about Ventus and it pisses me off," steam almost visibly seemed to escape his head.
"It sounds like you're jealous of Venny," I couldn't hold back a smirk wanting to tease Vanitas and make him squirm.
"I am not jealous of that weakling!" it was so obvious he was, "I just wanted to connect with something like me. The darkness in your heart reminds me of… well myself."
Well that was unexpected, "So you want to connect with the darkness in my heart and take something away from Ventus in the process, you want something of your own that he can't have, something he couldn't understand, that something being me?"
"Wow Terra we're connecting, it's like we were meant for each other," he licked his lips ravenously.
"Don't you have any other people to connect with, friends?" I regretfully asked.
"No," he said as if it he was used to it. "It's not like I need any," but I could tell from look in his eyes he wished he had at least one person.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for him, I had friends all my life, people to love and cherish me but I could tell he had no one.
"Don't feel guilty, it's not your fault," Vanitas rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. How did he know how I felt? Am I really that easy to read?
I really don't understand this guy, he says one thing and does another, he does something horrible but at the end of the day I'm feeling sorry for him. What's wrong with him? What's wrong with me?
We sat there in silence for along time before he whispered, "I'm off now." He stood up on the bed and started to ward the window.
"What do you think you're doing? This is the third story, you can't go out the window," I stated.
Vanitas gave me a devious grin, "But I can and I will besides Ventus is on his way and I can't be here when he arrives. So are you coming with me on that date?"
I blushed slightly, I'd almost forgotten, "I have no choice, right?"
"Right, we'll have our fun then," he brought his gaze to my private regions, "And you should probably fix that."
I looked down and my erection was still visible through my pants. Damn it! I looked back up to yell at him but he was gone. Then the door opened and Ventus stepped in, obviously exhausted but adorable as he rubbed his eyes.
"Terra, why are you in my room?" his voice was weak and filled with the affects of sleep.
"Master is on my bed so can I crash here?" I asked, explaining myself again.
He yawned, "Yeah, that's ok… What's wrong with your pants?"
Shit my erection! I completely turned red and turned away from him on the bed where he couldn't see it, "Oh it's nothing."
Ven groggily crawled on to the bed and sat next to me, "Who is it?"
"Huh?" what was he talking about?
"You know, before the party. You were saying that you didn't return Aqua's feeling and that the one you love is and then you were cut off. Who is it?" He looked up at me still half asleep.
I gulped, I thought I had already confessed twice today and damn it both times it was actually Vanitas! But I'm sure I had the real Ven now. "It's you."
He seemed to have a delayed reaction as he processed the information before blushing and turning away.
"You don't like me do you?" All day, no for a very long time I've had wishful thinking and Vanitas has been confusing everything even more lately, I couldn't have my hopes up anymore, I was tired of not knowing, of hoping he loved me too. Vanitas said he loved me, Aqua said he loved me, but how was I to be sure.
He turned back to me with wide eyes and reached out his hand to touch my cheek, "You're so slow Terra, I gave you flowers and I touch you all the time, I give you signals and still doubt that I like you. You're an idiot but I love you," his words were slurred, it's hard to believe Ventus, my Ventus, was drunk.
Everything he said was true… God damn it I am an idiot, it was so freaking obvious now that he mentions it, but I was too blinded by my own affection and utterly confused by Vanitas.
I smiled again for the second time that day but this time it really was Ventus, I was so happy. I covered his hand with my own, "Ven I…" I was about to say everything I felt about him but them I remember my dream and what Master had said and my world came crashing down. We couldn't be together, it would be the death of us, "I'm sorry Venny, but we can't be together. I want to I really do but we can't," tears ran down my cheeks, it hurt so much to say it, to admit it. But it was the truth Master wouldn't allow it and I didn't want either of them hurt. His eyes were watery too, "I'm so sorry."
"Why?" he squeaked.
I took his face into my hands and gently kissed his forehead when an idea struck me, "At least not out in the open. We'd have to hide it from Master and I'm sure Aqua could help. I can only hold you when no one's looking, I can only kiss you when we're alone, and I can only love you in the dark. It's the only way we can be together."
"Terra, if that's the only way then I'm fine with it," Ventus embraced me almost exactly how Vanitas had. Despite everything, I found a way we could be together, and now he knows how I feel and I knew how he felt. We sat like that for a while before he fell asleep in my arms. I smiled as I stroked his head like he had in my dream, or was that Vanitas, I really can't tell anymore. Was I ever really able to tell at all?
But it was pure bliss, holding him, him not Vanitas, for real. I felt as though we could be like that forever and I could feel my erection still bulging in my pants but I didn't care anymore. No matter how much I wished that moment couldn't last forever, tomorrow we would have to pretend we were just friends and I'd have my date with Vanitas and everything would be awkward. Ventus was the only person I ever loved, but all good things come to an end…
A/N: Well, I hope you liked that crack. If you didn't oh well, can't please them all, or most of them for that matter. Sorry it took so long, I was having trouble, it just kept getting trippier and trippier until I was like ok whatever I'll follow this crack till the end. I realize some scenarios aren't realistic but hey neither are keyblades, giant heart shaped moon, or gravity defying hairdos so yes things will be weird.
Why Twilight Town? I think I chose that place because Roxas will be there so I though connection. Why did I give Terra a premonition? Because he can't he can't figure shit out without help and I was going to go for the orgy but then I though it's too early. No lemon yet! MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA Terra's still a Virgin though he has had sex with Ventus in his dreams before. Why was Terra's erection never noticed before, how is it that Ven has never caught him with one before? Simple, Terra has great control over his body believe it or not, after years and years of holding back he's an expert at keeping himself from getting an erection only Vanitas has away of coxing it out because he's just too damn sexy for Terra's body to resist.
