[ven smiles up at vanitas as he moves to straddle his waist and kisses him back eagerly. he sets a hand over van's at his cheek and reaches up to run fingers through dark hair, stroking his thumb over his cheek.
his heart feels close to bursting with love and he looks close to crying again.]
You- You're so important to me too, Vanitas... I love you so much. [and here come a few tears, choking up.] I'm really proud of you.
[ Geez Ven! There is absolutely NO NEED for any waterworks here. No reason. Whatsoever. Cue Vanitas just kind of. Pushing them aside. With his thumbs. ]
Come on... Do you really have to cry? That's more embarrassing than you being this mushy about it.
[ And, of course, Vanitas is rather comfortable himself. He leans into the touch. Then Van just sort of melts against Ventus, basking in the attention. ]
Your heart not feeling so empty. I know sometimes it can get... overwhelming for you.
[nuzzling at his cheek, he gives him another soft kiss. he tucks some of that dark hair away from his face.] You... are my most precious person, Vanitas.
[ This is fine. Completely fine. His hand rubs small curls on the small of Ven's back. His brows knit together for a moment as he closes his eyes. ]
It still does, sometimes. Not as often anymore. There are still things that I don't think about because no matter what I'll get too worked up over it. But it doesn't hurt like it used to.
[ He knows what he means to Ventus. In his heart, anyway. His mind does wonder, at times, when things are going to fall apart. Things have been too good for too long. Something has to give, right? ]
I'm glad. [brushing a thumb over his cheek, ven takes a moment to study vanitas' face like this. eyes closed, expression softer. he feels overwhelmed in his own way, his heart fit to bursting with just barely enough strength to tap it down for vanitas' sake.]
I know maybe I shouldn't say it, but- I really like living here now. This city feels like home because you're here with me. Even if weird stuff happens all the time...
[ He leans into the touch with a little sigh. It feels nice like this. And while yes, he can feel Ventus' emotions swirling and about ready to erupt. But there are plenty of times where it's like this. ]
I feel the same way. At the end of the day, I don't want to go back.
[ven smiles, closing his eyes. he loved terra and aqua and the thought of being a world away from them did hurt, but the thought of being away from vanitas hurt even more. so much so he couldn't bear to consider that possibility.]

[ Inwardly, Vanitas is preening. ]
no subject
Guess you'll just have to be embarrassed of me, huh?
[still he gives vanitas a watery smile.]
I just love you a lot, that's all and it makes my heart feel all... full?
no subject
[ However he doesn't seem to be awfully inclined to get up at the moment. Nope. Vanitas is pretty content where he is.
Silence does fall between them, though. Mostly because of Ven's statement. ]
I... I know it does. I haven't felt as empty myself lately.
no subject
the silence is comfortable between them, ventus content with brushing his fingers through vanitas' hair and stroking the hand against his cheek.]
Really? [he tugs van down to give him a small kiss, brushing their noses together.] Is it okay?
no subject

We'll stay here together. Wherever you go, Vanitas, I'll follow you.
