famous last words
After Nom steps away, after he's alone, he rushes to Ven so fast he barely notices the distance between. They're together. They're made for each other and he fucking knew it.
When he reaches the blond, his arms wrap around him and pick him up, spinning Ven around and laughing into his hair. Ven probably thinks he's crazy. Probably thinks he's way too excited to die in a few minutes.
But this is...beyond what they could have hoped. Vanitas was afraid he'd have to choose--Ven over the person he forgot, or the other way around? This--this is so much better.
"It was you," he breathes, happy tears stinging his vision. Because they feel so complete touching each other like this and how could they not have noticed? "It was you, Ven. You're the one I forgot."
And then he pulls back, staring into his eyes and grinning. "And you forgot me. Nom says...Nom says I was about to ask you to fuckin' marry me, can you believe that?"
Without waiting for a response, he kisses Ven. Hard and passionate. Murmurs against his lips, "All along we were right next to each other and now we can be happy."
