Summary
“I know, and I’ve been giving you space! But it’s just… please, Vanitas,” Ventus says, almost begging. “Please.”
The expression Ventus is wearing is what does Vanitas in. Such a heartbroken, mournful look doesn’t belong on Ventus’s face. Vanitas can’t bear to see it any longer, even if it brings about the end of everything between them.
“I…” Vanitas swallows, clenching his hands into fists. “Fine.”
When Vanitas accidentally confesses his biggest secret to Ventus, he expects rejection—and yet, Ventus always defies his expectations.

Summary
“What’s wrong?” Vanitas asks, his insecurity making him more defensive than he should be. “Did I do something?”
“What? No,” Ventus says quickly. “It’s just… Today is the first time I’ve ever seen you look at yourself in a mirror willingly. It’s the first time I’ve seen you like yourself.”
With everything out in the open, Vanitas finally gets the chance to live authentically—or as authentically as he can manage for now, having lived the way he has.
