First Dream

[As far as the eye can see there's only a field of grass with a light wind blowing. It's freezing cold, but the boy laying back to look at the stars doesn't seem to notice. Or, if he does, he's used to it. He's been here for a while, slowly watching them blink out of existence one by one. Each time they do he reaches up, sadness written on his face - in the air around him. He can't stop it, he knows that, but he reaches anyway, trying as hard as he can. As if that will help. It doesn't and as each one slowly winks out, he seems to curl up on himself - bitter, hurt - lonely. It seems like hours, but soon, there's only a handful left.

Ventus shivers, rolling over and curling up - He's alone. He shouldn't have tried. How does he reach the light anyway? He can't. Sitting up, he pulls out the pieces of his wayfinder, face an open book of abandonment and betrayal. Hurt and anger.] ....I wish...

[And flings it away as far and hard as he can, uncaring where they fall.

Overhead, several more stars wink out, the rest shining just that much fainter.] I've never known you if you were just going to abandon me.

Ye-yea. [A quick nod, but he's back to timid - and kinda shielding his eyes because even in dreamland, the effects of your own dreamscape pretty much being a dark field = OH GOD THIS LIGHT HURTS MY EYES.]

... S-Shall I umm... Show you around?

Go ahead! I'll enjoy your hospitality.

[She's five seconds from snapping at him to be less sniveling again.

Which makes her wonder just what it is that's kept her by him even this long. She knows the answer, somewhere in her - those very words that she could have said herself: If you were just going to abandon me, I wish I never knew you.

She sometimes wishes she'd never known Usagi at all. She wouldn't have felt that betrayal, could have cut the threat of the princess down without the confusion in her heart over the girl.

But it's more comfortable to tell herself it's just because he irritates her, because something in her can't stand seeing what could have been someone so subservient when she's made so many concerted efforts to assert her independence.]
