Ok I've figured out that people play favorites, so I'm going to tell you all who the main focus of the chapters are before you read them. So the next one's another Ven chapter
"Ow ow ow Aqua this HURTS!" Ven yelled out as Aqua pulled him by his arm down the hall.
"Aqua stop!" Ven yelled out before they reached the kitchen door. She did as he asked then turned to face him with Dante in her arms laughing. Ven looked at the toddler with a raised eyebrow as he asked
"What's so funny?"Dante then pointed to Ven's face while still laughing
"Your face"
"Huh?" Ven asked wondering what was so silly about his face. Then he got a idea as he quickly stretched his mouth out with his fingers and stuck out his tongue and made a weird noise that made Dante laugh. It even made Aqua giggle a little, but then she took a breath and put on a straight face as she said
"Ven listen…" Ven stopped and looked up at Aqua, goofy face and all
"Yeah?"
"… I know I told you some things about my sister, but please don't tell her any of the things that I told you" Aqua said in a panicked tone because she knew Ven would probably have done so if she didn't tell him.
"Oh… alright" He said resting his face back into it's normal position
"I'm sorry about your arm Ven" Ven just grinned and shifted his arm around as he said
"Naw it's ok I like to get a good stretch when I wake up" that made Aqua and Dante laugh as she opened the door to the kitchen.
"You want anything to eat Ven?"
"Nope, I think I'll head back to my room. Get some more sleep"
"Alright then…" she said then realized something and quickly turned back around to Ven
"Wait Ven…" she said just before he was about to run off
"Yep?" he asked as Aqua leaned in and whispered something in his ear
"Can you do me a favor, I really didn't know about Dante till today. So can you please go find him a gift when it's convenient for you?" She asked making sure Dante didn't hear her as Ven nodded.
"Alright see 'ya in a little bit" Ven said as he ran down the hall to his room. Aqua smiled as she looked to her brother and poked his nose before entering the kitchen to get a snack for them, not knowing what was about to happen
Back with Ven
As he ran down the hall he began to recap the events that lead him to being asleep in Aqua's room, curious as to why he was there. Then he began to slow as his thoughts caught up with him
'Wait… I remember…' he thought as he slowed to a stop. '… I was chasing her because she took my…' then he gasped as he came to his realization. He was chasing after her because she took his gift for Master Eraqus
"I gotta get that cube back" he said out loud as he began to run towards Aqua's room. When he got there, he quickly peeked in her room to make sure no one was there.
When he was assured, he began to tip toe into the room, thinking in his mind that he was in some top secret vault. He knew all too well that Aqua and Terra didn't like anyone in their rooms, he still had the scars and bumps from when he tried. As he silently scanned the room for the cube, he didn't even notice the sound of dainty footsteps coming from the hall outside her room. Finally he spotted at the bag that he saw Aqua holding before she left radiant garden. He quickly dug through the bag
"Let's see gloves… a jacket… ear rings… some kind of weird gun…" he stated out as he shifted through the bag. Unbeknownst to him there was someone in the doorway tapping her foot as she starred at him
"Ah ha!" he said as he pulled out the black cube/chair he planned to give his master
"Aren't you a little old to be peaking at your Christmas presents?" the second Ven heard that he jumped up and covered his head as he knelt down into a ball postion.
"I SWEAR I WASN'T LOOKING IN YOUR DRAWERS AGAIN!" Ven yelled out as he cowered from what he thought was going to be a big beating. But he was surprised when he heard a girl giggling at the door that didn't sound anything like Aqua.
"So I'm guessing you're Ventus…" she said as she walked toward him slowly "… Terra told me a lot about you in his letters. He said you were a awesome friend and that you're practically like a little brother he never had" she said with a grin as she knelt down to Ven and patted his back to let him know she wasn't going to hurt him. He slowly raised his head to see who was talking to him. It was a girl with black hair that had pink highlights in it that complemented her sparkling blue eyes that reminded him of someone
"Uh do I know you?" he asked as he slowly got out of his protective ball and watched the girl giggle and then put her hand to her chest
"My name is Destiny, but you can call me Des." She said as Ven stared at her. Des blushed a little thinking he was checking her out, but what he was really doing was trying to figure out why she looked so familiar. Soon she waved her hand in front of his face
"Hey my eyes are right here" she said as she pointed to both her eyes and Ven shook out of his staring session
"Oh uh…" he stumbled as he chuckled and rubbed the back of his head "…sorry" that made her giggle a little
"Your fun" she stated as she reached for Ven's hand and uncoiled it to see what was in it. For some reason Ven couldn't explain he didn't want her to let go of his hand. It was like a little shock was going up his arm and he liked it.
"So what is this thing anyway?"
"Oh let me show you" he said as he grabbed the cube and pressed the blue button on one of its sides and set it down. Then in a matter of seconds it rapidly multiplied into hundreds of cubes that shaped into a chair with something protruding on its left side. It looked blocky but as it finished but it curved out and let out a small melody that sounded like holy music that Ven and Des laughed at.
"Ok that's cool" Des said as she jumped into the chair and swerved around in it "… and comfy" that made Ven laugh as he looked at the mini fridge on the side of it and grabbed a soda.
"Room for two?" Ven asked as he opened up his soda and let it fizz a little.
"Only if you give me that cream soda" she said as she pointed to the drink in his hand. He shrugged once then gave it to her as she scouted over a little and let Ven sit next to her for the next couple of minutes. She loved being close to him, he had this kind of warm aura around him that she just couldn't help but love. Ven had to admit it was a comfy seat, but just being next to Des made him feel nice.
Meanwhile right outside the room
Evy was holding Dante in her arms as he licked some purple goop off his fingers. Not the brightest idea for Aqua to let him make his own sandwich. As so happened Evy was passing by to her room when this happened. Aqua had the same mess on her as well and asked her sister to take Dante to the bath close to her room while she grabbed fresh towels from the laundry room in the opposite direction. And that's how Evy came to be holding a jam covered toddler who was trying to touch his sister's hair, to which she grabbed his hand and forced it to his side
"No" she said simply as she passed her sister's door. Then she heard a humming sound coming out of it
"What's that?" she asked herself, but that didn't stop Dante from answering
"Maybe it's a hive of wasps" Evy just shook her head with small grin. It didn't sound like any form of bug, it was mechanical.
"Aaahhhhhh yeaahhhh"
"What the…" she said to herself as she walked closer to the door and covered Dante's mouth. He mumbled something through her hand but couldn't be registered as anything. She slowly looked into the room and saw Ven on a vibrating chair with his eyes closed and a smile on his face. That made her chuckle a little as she admired how cute he looked relaxed. Then the grin on her face faded away as she saw Des reaching over him almost like she was hugging him. In her mind she could hear the tiniest noise of something cracking inside her. Then her face flared up with anger as Dante loosened her hand and looked up at her.
"Evy are you ok?" he asked innocently as she growled and stomped off with him in her arms. Causing a little pain in him as she took him into the bathroom
Back in the room
"What are you doing?" Ven asked as Des kept pressing on the chair's shoulder
"I'm turning on the massage setting" she said as she finished what she was doing and sat normally as the chair began to vibrate and left big dumb smiles on Ven and Des' faces. But before Ven got lost in the tickling senstation as Des gently leaned onto him and almost fell asleep with him. If it wasn't for the fact that Ven shut off the massage setting and got up
"What are you doing?" She asked as Ven turned around to face her
"I was going to head back to my room. Gotta get some sleep"
"Oh…" Des said disappointedly as she got out of the chair. Ven picked up on her disappointed tone, he thought that she was sad that they couldn't hang out because of the day ending. Thinking quickly he thought of something that she could do with him tomorrow, if he only knew why she really was disappointed.
"Hey if you want we could hang out tomorrow. I was going to go to the simulation room to play a game with someone, if you want to join" he asked as she smiled and nodded
"Sure..." she said with a yawn "…I'll ask my brother where that is later. But now I think I'll go to sleep, night Ven" she said waving good bye before she left and he returning the wave.
When she was gone he finally did what he aimed to do in the first place. He found the button and watched the chair turn back into its small cube form once again. He snagged and dropped in his pocket and snickered at his success then made his way out of Aqua's room and toward his for a good night's sleep.
Meanwhile in the bathroom
"OW EVY STOP THAT HURTS!" Dante said as his sister scrubbed the jam off of him.
"Shouldn't have made such a mess then" she snapped back as she kept at it. She really didn't need that much pressure to scrub her brother clean, but she was mad and needed some way to relieve her anger.
Thank god Aqua arrived with the towels a couple minutes later and told her sister that she'd take over. Evy left the bath room and started for her room, all the way thinking
'That… jerk trying to take Ven for herself' She fell asleep with a mad look etched into her face
And with that the first day of their Christmas had ended, and the second was going to be more eventful than the first.
Sorry if this seemed like a filler chapter, I promise I'll make it up in the next one. I just wanted to get the pieces in the right place for the next chapter, so review if you want see where my insanity will take you XD
