Twenty-Second Shooting Star - voice;

[risingwinds]

[Ven's had a lot on his mind these past few weeks. Between the draft, Terra's departure, and... recent events with Fuuko, he's been hit hard and fast.

And what better way to deal with issues than to talk about it? It's for this reason that Ven's pulled open his journal today.

Deep breaths, now. He can do this!]

Say, um. Let's say you just recently started... Well, I mean, if you were--

[He pauses. Gosh, why is this so awkward to ask? COMPOSURE, Ventus.]

Okay, how 'bout this? If you just got together with somebody, and... [...aaand freezing up again.

...aw, heck. He'll just get to the point.]

What kinda things are boyfriends supposed to do? [That came out kinda fast. But... there. At least he said it. And now that that's outta the way, it's time for a more somber subject... He'll get on that after a short pause.]

Also, that last draft really got me thinking. We weren't able to just tag people like before. In order to survive, everybody had to, well... kill. And for me, that's really scary. I can't just... take someone's life, even if they're the enemy.

So I guess what I wanna know is... how do you guys feel about that? And the drafts in general.

I know that's a really weird thing to tackle after that last question, but... well. Any answers are definitely appreciated!

Lock?

[... ... ...]

Er...

Is it bad if I say I didn't?

[perplexme]

Dunno. Who is it?

[risingwinds]

...It's Fuuko.

[Yes, starfish girl. Ven's not sure if Roxas knows her or not, though.]

[perplexme]

When'd that happen?

[risingwinds]

A little more than a week ago?

[perplexme]

Congratulations. I think. I don't think there's really much to being someone's boyfriend though.

[risingwinds]

I dunno, it sounds like there's a whole lot of stuff to consider! Like dates, making sure she's happy, trying to do romantic things like kisses and giving her flowers...

And I'm sure there's even more than that!

[perplexme]

But is all of that stuff really necessary if she's happy just being with you?

[risingwinds]

...Well, no. I guess not. But isn't it nice to have a little something extra?

[perplexme]

Maybe. I wouldn't really know.

[risingwinds]

Aw, that's okay. Happy as I am to be with Fuuko, I know that sorta thing's not for everybody! Besides, it just sorta happened with me, so I think that's something you can never really predict.

[perplexme]

I mean I've got Naoto and I've got Xion and I've got Grune...that's enough. I've got you guys, too.

[risingwinds]

And sometimes that's really all you need. Love doesn't have to be romantic, anyway.

It can just be the bonds you share between friends.

[perplexme]

All right, so what makes you think what you have with this Fuuko girl is different? [Not that he's discounting it, he's just curious.]
