A/N: Hello again! It's been a while since I finished An Unbreakable Connection and through that time I've been working on and off again on some drabbles that go with the story. Not all of these will be as long but each one will showcase some events that happened in the universe, whether it's before, during, or after the story. I have some planned out and will be writing them as time goes by but I am open to suggestions if any of you have any!

Summary: Being inside Sora's heart was one thing, not being able to talk to him was another. Ventus struggles with both.

It was agony not being able to speak out to him. If he could just say one sentence, it would have set Sora on the right track. At least he was making him remember little by little.

Ven used his connection with the boy to spur memories of the past, anything he could think of, he made sure Sora could see it. They may have appeared blurry to him, but the message was there. It was small, but each small thing would lead up to the big moment.

Ven was grateful that Sora looked into them. He could have easily excused them as nonsense dreams, but true to his nature, he listened to his heart and stored those memories. He would sometimes get frustrated when he couldn't understand them and Ventus would wish more than anything to be able to tell him. On one hand, Sora would understand and go out searching, on the other hand…

…well, he just hoped it would connect his heart to Aqua, and she wouldn't have to worry about whether he was alive or not.

"Don't worry Aqua, I'll protect him."

~[***]~

If his friends, or anyone for that matter, saw him right now, they would think he went crazy. Yet, Sora didn't seem to care so Ven just kept going.

Over the years he had progressively been getting better at calling out to Sora, and after the recent events of the Mark of Mastery exam, the timing couldn't have been better.

Sora heard him, and Ven was elated.

He wanted nothing more than to tell him about Aqua, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was never sure why, but he concluded that maybe it would be better if Aqua was the one to tell him herself. The least he could do now is be there for Sora and give him clues.

Even if it seemed as if the boy was talking to himself.

"Blue huh."

"Yeah, it's an important color."

"How's that?"

"Well, a lot of the important people in your life have some shade of blue in their appearance."

"That's….actually true. Huh, never realized that."

"Right? Your eyes are blue too, kinda reminds me of someone, I think she also had blue hair but I can't seem to remember who."

"I'm sure you'll remember her soon."

"Hm, yeah."

Ven drifted back into Sora's heart, his voice becoming a faint whisper.

"I hope you remember her too."
