[There may be something to be said for both their dedication that they're still friends, even now. At first, she wasn't sure quite how they'd manage it, but... she'd been more than willing to try. He was too important to her for her not to. Still, it stung, remembering how she'd failed him, and unfortunately that did tend to happen when they were around each other. That said, she's always happy, truly, to see him. She's got that to look forward to at the moment, at least, as she waits.]

[wingblades]

... yeah. I missed you too much.

[Smiles bashfully at her.]

I think I started regretting it almost immediately afterwards.

[lethechained]

[Her own smile is quite pleasantly bashful, itself. Gosh, he's always been such a great boyfriend. (Even during a breakup.)]

I'm sorry...!

[Seriously Naminé, are you sorry for making him miss you or that he felt bad at all? It wasn't even your call--]

If it makes any difference, I... regretted a lot of things about that, too.

[The failures of her own that led to it, of course.]

[wingblades]

You did?

[lethechained]

Of course. I never wanted to make you feel that way. I really am sorry for not treating you well enough.

[wingblades]

... I'm sorry too.

[... he lets go of her hand, only to hold his arms out. Hug?]

[lethechained]

[Her smile is kind of fading, and for a moment she almost apologizes for bringing that up again, too, especially when he lets go of her hand, but-- oh. That's okay, then. Smile returning - albeit a little weaker, she move in to accept that hug, arms sliding around him just a tiny bit gingerly, but there is distinct fondness in it.]

[wingblades]

[The moment he holds her, there's a sigh from him, the sound of someone who's got something heavy finally off his chest.]

I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for what I did...

[lethechained]

[She really can't help but hold him a little closer at that, her own sigh quieter but present. Her arms tighten around him when he speaks.]

Ven-- please, don't. You don't have anything to apologize for.

I JUST WOKE UP AND I'M FREAKING OUT

[wingblades]

I need to though.

HAHA SOB YEAH YOU AND THE REST OF THE FANDOM DJKDFBKFDGDF

[lethechained]

--....

[She draws back, but only a little, only so she can look at him.]

Why should you apologize for doing what you thought was best?

[Nevermind that she would, if it were her--]

I'M JUST GOING BACK THROUGH FREAKING OUT POSTS YOU GO KH FANDOM CELEBRATE

[wingblades]

Because you were hurt by it.

HECK YES, FANDOMWIDE JUBILATION 5EVER

[lethechained]

[She breathes out a sigh. It's so much harder to counter when she knows she'd say the same.]

That's okay. I want... whatever is best for you, Ven. So even if it hurts me, I'll be happy for you.

[And for a second she almost reaches up to touch his face, but thinks better of it; instead, she smiles, warm and fond.]

I'M STILL FREAKING OUT

[wingblades]

No, it's not. I don't like you getting hurt because of me. And you know that.

SCREAMS YEAH dat low contrast tho

[lethechained]

... I know. I'd say the same thing, if our positions were reversed. But... that's in the past, now.

[And hopefully not in the future.]

it's a teaser those hud don't even look legit FFXV didn't even have a hud

[wingblades]

I'm still sorry though.

hee uwu GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT

[lethechained]

[Gosh, Ven. Except she can't even look exasperated, because she totally understands, really she does. So all she can really do is smile, tilt her head at him, and finally reach up to place a hand very, very gently against his cheek.]

Apology accepted.

[Even if she doesn't think it's warranted.]

that flowin' heartless tho

[wingblades]

[It makes him look relieved though, and he reaches up to place a hand over hers.]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY dem heartless *^* and just general epicness.

[lethechained]

[Which was pretty much the goal, so that definitely makes her smile wider. Her eyes shift to the hand over hers for a moment, just enjoying the feeling, then shut. Don't mind her, she's just going to appreciate that this is happening.]

i saw a post going THAT'S MOB PHYSICS DONE RIGHT

[wingblades]

... I really missed you.

WELP they ain't wrong uwu

[lethechained]

[Her eyes open.]

... I really missed you, too.

[And she doesn't want to do it again, but that's beside the point. At least now, she can say things like this without so much guilt.]

are you happy

[wingblades]

Let's do this right this time, okay?

YES YES I AM although I am sideyeing the style, especially re: facial expressions

[lethechained]

Okay. I promise, I'll do my best to make it easy for you.

it's just a teaser it will get better uwu

[wingblades]

And I'll do my best not to be dumb this time.

uwu ! OF COURSE OF COURSE just that style for the model kind of... weakens the expression ability

[lethechained]

[-- Silly. ... Pap.]

Is that a promise, too?

how so?

[wingblades]

Yep. A promise.
