[If he's got to rewind time and the universe over and over again until he can keep Vanitas all to himself he really would. He's never loved someone so much in his entire life and Vanitas is his other half. Why wouldn't he passionately love him in every sense? Sorry, universe. This paopu fruit is part of the contract.]

Got you.

[Sora laughs softly when Vanitas licks him back. It's silly and messy and playfully but Sora adores it. He smiles softly when they're all done and the rest of the paopu fruit can probably be tossed or eaten as a snack slowly.]

I know it doesn't feel any different. But. [He pats a hand gently over Vanitas' heart.] No matter what happens I hope we can be together forever.

Sometimes it's more about the promise than anything else, is what you mean.

[ There are a lot of things that Vanitas isn't certain of. But he is certain that Sora will try. He will try and try and try. Won't eve give up. That means he won't give up on this. That's what Vanitas is going to end up putting his faith in.

Vanitas loves this boy. He does and he can say that with certainty that he's never really had until Sora had put himself out there for Vanitas first.

His fingers curl around Sora's. ]

You hope? Or are you going to make sure it happens?

[oathkeeper]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

[Sora grins triumphantly. It's been a long time since they've gotten together and the road wasn't always easy for the two of them. He remembers the days were it was harder. When Vanitas would be sick from bouts of too much magic or the darkness in his nerves flared. He remembers arguments and tough nights of miscommunication. But all of it is worth it for the love they share now. All the sweet days and promises. He loves them.

He squeezes Vanitas' fingers back gently and then tugs him.]

You know I'm gonna make sure it happens. For now, I think we better make sure that breakfast happens. What do you think? Paopu fruit pancakes?

[ Vanitas rolls his eyes at Sora. Yet he allows himself to be pulled and tugged along.

Like always. He's always going to allow this boy to do that to him. It's just the way of things. ]

Are you going to be able to do that without making a mess for me to clean?

[oathkeeper]

I can't make any promises about that.

[Sora looks over his shoulder at Vanitas and grins warmly.]

But I promise they'll be the best pancakes you've ever had.

[darkcharge]

Guess we'd better get to it then. If I'm going to spend the afternoon cleaning, then I want to get it done.

[ And Vanitas might be interested in those pancakes. It's just another way for them to share the fruit. Another way to bind themselves to one another, in Vanitas' opinion. On that basis alone would Vani have agreed to use the star-shaped fruit this way.

He grabs for Sora's hand. Their fingers are a sticky tangle. But he doesn't mind. Just further proof that they have followed through with this strange legend.

And hopefully, as they continue walking home, it comes true. ]
