Meanwhile in Ven's room

Ven was talking to Des, and laughing almost every other minute at what she said.

"… yeah and that's not all, he kept that same stuffed monkey till he was fifteen and slept with it like every night" that made Ven blow a gasket as he erupted into laughter

"Wow… ehhehheh… I can't even imagine Terra like that" Ven said as he tried to calm himself down

"Yeah I know" Des said as she laughed at some memories of Terra carrying that stuffed monkey around town and acting like it was alive. Then a question rose into her head and came out almost immediately after she thought it

"So Ven you have anything like that?"

"What do you mean?" surprised at how left fielded that question seemed

"I mean like how Terra has that stuffed monkey back home or like I how I have this…" she said as she dug in her pocket and pulled out her wallet and opened it to find a wrinkled old picture that she showed to Ven. He looked it over and could clearly identify the people in it. But never the less he felt implied to ask

"That's you and Terra right?" Des just responded with a nod as she looked at the photo with him

"Yep, that's him when he was 7 and me when I was 5" she said as Ven kept looking at the photo. It almost brought a grin to his face when he saw that even back then Terra looked muscular. The picture also had her mother in it holding her two children with a small smile, but then Ven noticed something odd

"Where's your dad in this?" that made Des get a little irritated, even the mention of that man would make her mad

"Gladly he wasn't there when we took it" she said stressing a lot of anger on the word gladly.

"Why?"

"I don't know he had some kind of fight or something?" she said getting a little aggravated by the fact he wanted to stay on this topic. But Ven wanted to prod deeper into this

"That's not what I meant. I meant why were you glad that he wasn't there?" Ven asked but didn't get a answer immediately. But he patiently waited for her to say something while she held a mad look on her face, he really couldn't take a hint.

The subject of her father wasn't something she liked to review. He was a pig, monster, and all around bad person. One of the main things she hated about him was how he treated Terra and her when they were growing up. He basically treated Terra like a puppy to be trained, but not the casual go get a ball and sit tricks. Oh no it was the jog 10 laps then you might get a treat if you win the derby tricks that he made Terra do. As for her, he just said one phrase that would forever be etched into her memory

'I hope for your sake that when you grow up, you were as hot as your mom was back in the day' she couldn't remember when and why he said that all that she knew was that he did say it, and that was enough to hate that pig for her. Who says that to their daughter?

"Well?" Ven asked getting a little impatient at this point. Des thinking on her feet just made something up so he'd stop

"He really… smelled that day…yeah" she said then gave a embarrassed smile, knowing that this was possibly the worse lie in the history of existence. And she was right because Ven didn't buy it, but he finally realized not to ask any further.

"Oh really? Did he smell worse than he does right now?" Ven asked jokingly as Des was shocked that he actually took her excuse. So she did a short laugh because of how stupid that seemed to her. Ven put on a small smile on as she laughed, for some reason he really liked it when she did.

"Why are you smiling?" she asked while looking at him weirdly

"Who me?" he said as he pointed to himself

"Yeah Ven who else is in this the room but us?" she asked sarcastically as Ven got a good idea on what to say back

"Oh just you me and the monster that's under my bed" Ven said in a stupid happy tone while Des just looked at him curiously not sure if she heard him right.

"What?"

"I said just you me and the monster under my bed" Ven repeated as Des laughed a little.

"What?" Ven acting coyly asked as Des calmed herself down

"Oh nothing, it's just… your so funny" she said letting out a couple chuckles at the end, and with her noticing Ven did that same smile that started this. Which Des noticed and pointed towards

"RIGHT THERE, that same smile" Ven stopped smiling and backed his head away from her finger.

"What I wasn't smiling" he said trying to hide it, but it was a useless effort at this point as a devious smile went across her face.

"No you did, all I want to know is why."

"I uh…" Ven said as a slight shade of red went across his face, making it apparent to Des that Ven was either embarrassed to say it or he felt something towards her or both. So Ven knowing that she wasn't going to drop it just said it "… like it when you laugh, it makes me feel kinda weird inside" Ven said looking down at his bed, wishing this was a dream. Because this to him was weird, only because he didn't know how he should feel because his head told him he should be embarrassed while his heart was screaming to embrace the feelings and tell her how he felt.

Des just sat there on her knees, debating to laugh or say something. Because she thought if she laughed at that it would make him smile and feel that weird feeling that she knew he was talking about but it might also backfire making her seem kinda stuck up for laughing at him telling him about his feelings. So she decided on her second option

"Awwww Ven" she said as she wrapped him in hug and accidently made something jolt inside his heart. Ven shortly gasped as Des wrapped her arms around him letting him take her all in, and he liked it. It brought a smile on his face as he wrapped his arms around her making her grin. They hugged each other for a good five minutes before they slowly separated and looked at each other. Ven took a deep look into her clear turquoise eyes and felt like staying in their shimmering beauty forever. While at the same time Des stared into Ven's dark blue cerulean eyes, seeing all the happiness behind them and loving it. Then with both of them lost in oceans of royal blue, they didn't even notice that they were slowly leaning forward into each other.

Meanwhile in the hallway outside Ven's room (here we go again)

Evy was walking down the hall to Ven's room, eager to see him. She thought that Des was still hurt from earlier today and that she could get some face to face time with Ven. But all those thoughts faded away the instant she heard

"Awwww Ven" she stiffened up when she heard that. She knew who that was and got kind of angry when she heard her.

"Des" she said in a silent growl as she peaked inside Ven's room to see her hugging Ven and eventually him hugging her back. She gasped and growled at the scene she was watching.

'why does he like her so much!' she thought angrily as she saw them separate then just sit there, doing nothing for a brief second before they started to slowly converge on each other.

She gasped as she quickly picked a button off her shirt and flicked it into Ven's room, aiming at Des. She sliently snickered as she backed away a couple feet from the door and let everything unfold

While back in Ven's room, as the couple were on the verge of their first kiss together, something out of nowhere wacked Des hard on her left temple

"OW" she yelled out as she separated from Ven and rubbed the side her head while repeatedly saying ow, ouch, and small grunts.

"Woah Des you okay?" Ven asked as he tried look at the side of her face being covered by her hands.

"Ow not really I feel like something hit me on the side the head"

"Ouch…" Ven said as he laid his hand over hers and gently pulled them away from her head "… here let me see" he said as he took one of her hands off her head and inspected the newly formed bruise that was shaped like a really big grain of rice.

'Ow is right' Ven thought to himself as he looked at it and gently touched it once, making her sneer. Ven slightly gasped then drew back his hand

"Sorry"

"No it's alright" she said as she let him continue. With one last look Ven could deduce that this wasn't serious

"It doesn't look that bad, it should be gone by tomorrow"

"Oh that's good" Des said just being happy that Ven cared about her enough to check

"But in the mean time this might help" Ven said as he gently kissed the bruise, making her go wide eyed and short of breath. Ven then recieted back to his regular sitting pose and looked at her with curiosity

"Uh Des?" he said as he waved his hand in front of her face, failing to snap her out of her trance.

"Des!" he yelled out as he shook her a little bit, making her snap out of whatever she was in.

"Huh?"

"You ok?" Ven asked as he looked at her a little.

"Yeah, it's just you kinda took me by surprise"

"What you mean the kis…" he began to say before his door opened and revealed a semi happy Evy.

"Hey guys"

"Hey Evy, need something?" Ven asked just to be friendly

"No but Des your mom is looking for you" Evy said as she looked at the big bruise on the side of Des's head, making her happier because of a job well done. Ven groaned when he heard that

"Aw… well I'll see you later Des" he said as he hugged Des and wished her good night and she as well to him. Evy silently growled to herself until Des parted from him and left the room. Leaving the both Evy and Ven alone

She just stood there in his door while he just laid in his bed, just wanting to go to sleep. But he noticed that Evy was still here

"Uh do you want something Evy?" He asked as Evy shook her head

"Nope just wanted to see if you'd like to talk"

"Uh… not right now…" he said with a yawn rolling of his words "… I'm pretty tired I just want to go to sleep"

"Oh ok then good night…" she said politely as Ven lazily waved his hand. Before Evy left, she peaked her head into Ven's room one more time and said "… you know there's other people to hang out besides her" she said, trying to show no hint of dislike toward Des and gladly Ven didn't pick any up. In fact he thought it was kind of weird that she would say that.

"Yeah I know"

"Ok just wanted to say, bye Ven" she said then strutted down the hall

"Yeah bye…" he said awkwardly as he looked up to his ceiling.

'Why did she say that?' he thought before he went to sleep and everyone else shortly after following him.
