#vaniso

so this whole thing hinges upon basically ignoring the kh3 ending. sora’s fine, kairi’s fine and more than just a plot device and still friends with riku, xehanort is gone but everyone else is back. the nobodies are all somebodies again that occasionally show up and are kinda decent people. vanitas is around but still a colossal dick that no one likes

sora kinda tries to help redeem vanitas, but mostly in that way that he tries to help everyone. he doesnt really particularly like vanitas but feels that obligation to reach out anyway. mostly everyone thinks vanitas is ventus’s problem (ventus: ‘wow thanks guys’)

one day sora somehow finds out that vanitas is basically constantly in terrible pain due to like, being someone who shouldnt really exist. idk how he finds this out (maybe vanitas says something? magic? idk man)

this Changes Things

thus begins sora’s painstakingly slow efforts to Become Friends With Vanitas And Convince Him He’s Not Actually The Night

vanitas is fucking rude at first, he doesnt like listening to sora and will usually just ignore him (including just opening dark corridors and leaving in the middle of conversation) or attack him and start a fight

sora Persists so vanitas decides to avoid him completely instead. unfortunately for him sora eventually figures out that he’ll inevitably see vanitas if he hangs out with ventus enough. the two really cant stay away from each other that long

if avoiding sora doesnt work, maybe being a Massive Asshole and attacking his insecurities and making him cry will

it doesnt

fine. maybe vanitas can tell sora about... one (1) feeling. 

maybe two?

okay that was too much. time to be a dick again

this continues for a long time until eventually vanitas discovers, to his horror, that he is Completely Okay with talking to sora. he can just Say Things to him and its fine. it even feels... kinda nice???

sora starts referring to vanitas as a friend at this point and starts inviting him places and trying to do things with him

sora notices vanitas hates being touched and asks about it. vanitas associates touch with pain. sora decides he can fix this

its little things at first like a hand on the shoulder or the arm

they work up to stuff like quick hugs and sitting against each other

vanitas realizes touching sora is... kinda nice. kinda really nice. really, very nice

Vanitas Wants To Cuddle

sora says thats fine friends do this

the others are beginning to speculate. some think sora should stay away from vanitas, some think hes doing a good thing. a few people are just making bets in the background (lea: ‘they like each other and havent realized yet’ isa: ‘theyve realized theyre just scared’ marluxia: ‘sora hasnt realized and will Freak Out’)

sora kisses vanitas on the cheek or smth and Unlocks kissing. vanitas wants to kiss now. please sora

sora says thats fine.... friends do this........

ventus says vanitas does not want to be soras friend. ventus thinks vanitas wants a lot more than just kissing, but, as it turns out,

Vanitas Doesn’t Know What Sex Is

lea: ‘saw them making out the other day bet theyll be fucking soon’ vanitas: ‘whats fucking’ lea: ‘holy shit’

vanitas: ‘sora whats sex’

friends DO NOT do this

vanitas: ‘sora lets try sex’ sora: pure panic

sora solicits advice and gets a different opinion from literally everyone. is it weird to be into someone that looks just like you???

vanitas says no, also ive discovered porn and know bad innuendos now

vanitas: ‘hey since im an empty creature maybe you should.... fill me up...............’

Vanitas Is A Bottom no you cant change my mind

he wants to be touched as much as possible

sora decides.... this is fine... i can date someone who looks just like me. hes cute actually. we just have to work on Being Nice To Other People
