Ven led Namine to the dance floor. Frank Sinatra's voice rang out over the speakers, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere. He danced with her for a song or two, careful not to trip over her feet. Though they were both a bit clumsy, the dances went well, his mind finally feeling at ease. Maybe he'd get lucky and the person he both wanted to see and didn't want to see wouldn't show up.

As the next song came on, Ven caught a glimpse of Sora standing alone on the dance floor in his blue dress. He looked a bit nervous, as if he was afraid his date wouldn't show. But then, out of the crowd, he appeared. Ven had never seen Vanitas dressed up before, and the sight was breathtaking. The way the vest accented his frame, completely flawless. The raven approached Sora, giving him a soft kiss on the cheek. That was it. The exact thing Ven hadn't wanted to see. His heart broke, the careful facade he had been giving Namine broke, and his expression grew pained. 

Halting the dance, he turned to Namine apologetically, "I'm...sorry, I need some air," he said hurriedly. He let go of her, rushing across the hall, to the door, his body shaking with anxiety. It didn't matter who he spoke to, Lightning, Saix, Zack; he had no idea what to do. He had to say something, to tell them his true feelings. But the situation was clear to him now, Vanitas had someone else. He'd never be able to have him.

Defeated, Ven slumped to the ground, despair taking over his body. The frigid air only forced more shivers from his aching form. He wanted to disappear, to go back to when things were simple. Before the raven appeared to steal his heart. When it was just Namine in there.
