[The gentle dawn—that’s what Ven is. He’s the light that brings in the warmth after a chilling night, the darkness that creeps into the light. He can feel the ice around Riku slowly melting away, and in response, the frost that lingered between them slowly begins to disappear as well. His light isn’t strong — but it’s enoigh.
He won’t lie. He won’t deny that it hurts having Riku apart from him. That the one person he’s so connected to would rather keep away and pretend this bond doesn’t exist at all.
Like none of this ever happened.
But as his hand makes contact with Riku’s cheek, he stills in surprise. It’s odd like this. He’s never touched Riku, not really, and the other teen never initiated anything either. Ventus would always give him little touches, fleeting and gone like the wind the next minute, and he never lingered either.
And the way Riku is looking at him—]
Will you still try to fight it? [A sincere question with no true desire of wanting to know the answer. Ven isn’t sure what he thinks, of how to feel, and Riku has leeway to continue thinking nothing is between them.
But now? Neither of them can ignore this, not when Ven is still keeping up that gentle warmth between them.]
