Gula

-Casts wakeup spell figured out by seeking help from Ienzo-

oh thanks the master, you're alive,

VANITAS! YOU'RE AWAKE!

Hey-- hey watch it!! I can't fuckin breathe! It's not that big of a deal, really...

Not a big deal? Of course it's a big deal! Nitas, you're awake! You're actually awake!

Ven, calm down!! You're gonna give yourself a damn heart attack if you keep that up. You're like, hyperventilating. Such a sap...

I'm not hyperventilating! And I'm not a sap! I'm just so-

WOAH.

'm still so-rry

-Gula watched the scene from a distance, a warm yet guilty smile on his face, he watched softly-

-he sighed and hesitantly went towards the boys-

Still working on the whole forgiving you thing after that, you know. Hey, do you know what it's like to be in an inescapable torture labyrinth made of your own mind??

-Gula paused unsure of what to say or do... he'd ever really only been close with one person before the boys and he sure as hell didn't have these types of delicate situations... he looked away and sat down against the wall-

Ven frowns at the loss of contact. He hesitantly reaches out to grab Vanitas's hand, occasionally looking back at Gula, trying to find something in his body language. When he finally speaks, he's focused entirely on Vanitas

-Gula sighed and took off his mask, tossing it aside. This was a moment more inportant than his leader role, here in this room he wasnt the foreteller, no, far from it. He cared for the boys, the guilt was clear enough evidence, here he was just himself. The mask was meaningless now so he discarded it (for now at least), he didn't try to speak again-

Heeyy, Ven. So, funny thing, I actually managed to sort of create a gummiphone in my dream. I'm not awake yet though and I can't see the real world.

At least you're okay

no! No! I won't-

Whoops. Um.

I mean, maybe?

Really? NOBODY else? Not even like, Gula? Damn. That kinda sucks.

I don't know if Gula can use it, but...

First, are.... you posting while you're asleep?

Where else would I be posting from?? Of course I'm asleep. You see me, don't you? I actually don't know. I can't see the real world at all.

Yes, Ven and I are in the room with you. He was terrified when i cast sleep. Not sure why...

Yeah, you know, despite everything, that was a kind of stupid decision on your part. At least knowing Ven. But since you clearly don't know... eh, that's not exactly my story to tell...

I'll ask ventus when he wakes.

Ven's curled up on the bed next to Vanitas, fingers pressed to the pulse point on his neck and head on his chest, ear pressed against where Vanitas's heart is. He only just fell asleep, exhaustion hitting him like a truck. The lovby is nestled in Vanitas's hair. Doll and Rose are curled up with them. A new reversed, this one a leopard, sits at the foot of the bed, watching over them

-Gula gently sat in the room nearby, seeing ventus so panicked caused him to feel guilty, thats when he saw the reversed... he was caught off guard but stayed silent in fear of waking the newly resting ventus and the prior sleeping van-

Vanitas's face is stained with tears. His eyes sting. He's out of breath.

Vanitas?

Ve..n...

I'm not leaving you alone. It'll be okay. Gul- Dad's here, too.

Each time his body shifts his vision cuts out. Static dances at his peripherals. He can barely make out Ven's voice.

-Gula picks up all the feral unversed, preventing them from hurting themselves more...-

Fuck--

-Gula sighed.... then decided maybe for now.. casting sleep was the best choice.-

Vanitas?

-Gula set down the newly calmed unversed then put a hand on ventus' shoulder-

Unsurprisingly (although not for Gula because they didn't get to that part of the Tragic Backstory™️) this does not comfort Ven

Ven? Hey nonono- it will be okay it's a weak sleep spell, he'll wake in an hour or two... promise-

He won't wake up!

Yeah, i'll carry him.

Vanitas's face is stained with tears. His eyes sting. He's out of breath.

Despite the spell, he still twitches in his sleep and Unversed still slowly emerge from his body.
