[Fortunately, Squall and Ventus hasn't run into each other when Squall was affected. However, Ventus is close to a certain someone who has told him what's happened.]
Oh... sure? It'll take me a few minutes to get there... so if that's not a problem.
[ He's trying to gauge how long it will take if he adds in the corners he has to dodge to avoid people. Luckily for him, his evasion stat is his highest. ]
[ . . . Yeah he really does feel like this intense happiness was a really bad sign, but he was going to go through with it anyway. ]
See you then...
[ It takes Squall about fifteen minutes to make it to the lake. He might... have gotten lost along the way. Years of being here and he still gets lost...]
[ Just the mention of Sora's name makes Squall's heart sink. One of his biggest regrets this month was how he treated Sora. There was no way he'd forgive him after everything he put him through... ]
He told you, huh...
[ He shouldn't be surprised by that. Ventus and Sora were practically twins with how close they were. ]
[ Squall lets out a pained sound and stumbles backwards when the punch lands. He didn't have the energy to fight back, and honestly he just didn't want to. What he did was completely unforgivable and he deserved way more than just a punch.
His hand goes over his eye as if somehow that might take some of the sting away, his uncovered eye darting toward Ventus as if see if anything else was coming his way.]
[ When he meets that icy stare of Ventus' he looks off to the side instead. It hurt. It hurt to see those cold eyes directed towards him. They were so much like Sora's eyes and it felt like a bigger sting through his heart. Fog or not, Ventus was right. What he did was absolutely unforgivable. He should be stronger than this, strong enough fight past these stupid affects. ]
[ Squall frowns even further. His eye firmly planted to the ground. He was silent for some time. It was hard thinking about this, but he knows Ven's right...]
I... don't know what to do. Sora and me... we've never had a fight before.
There's always a first time for everything. But having fights can make a relationship stronger.
[Or break them, but he leaves them unsaid.]
First off, an apology would help. From there, you just need to be honest with him about whether or not everything you said to him while being affected is true.
You two still live in the same house as each other, right? Make him something, give him a present. Apologize to him because Sora won't turn you away and will hear you out.
[He tilts his head.]
We both know Sora has a good heart. It makes him who he is. You just have to man up and approach him first.
[ He frowns more and shakes his head. He was being pathetic and he knows that. Whatever issues he had, it wasn't right to throw them at Ventus no matter what. ]
No, you're right. I just... don't think a simple apology is going to be enough.
Reaching out, he taps his finger on his chest, right over his heart.]
Listen to your heart and follow it. The brain has a way of overpowering the heart's desires, so don't think so much and just go with what you want to do, Squall.

[Ventus just smiles so brightly that sparkles are practically appearing around him. Not literally, but the idea is there.]
I'll see you there then!

When he sees Squall, he gives him a merry wave.]
Squall!
no subject
. . . TACTICAL RETREAT!!! TACTICAL RETREAT!!!!!When he notices Ventus waving, he starts approaching him with his hands in his pockets. ]
Hey.
no subject
[The smile seems firmly painted on his face.]
no subject
[ Squall frowns softly as he reached up to rub at the back of his neck. ]
Did I... say something to you during?
no subject
[Ventus' smile finally shifts, suddenly looking sharper.]
But Sora has told me you've said to him.
no subject
He told you, huh...
[ He shouldn't be surprised by that. Ventus and Sora were practically twins with how close they were. ]
no subject
[He walks closer to him.]
So, don't take this too personally as something that I have against you, but--
[Sorry Squall, you're getting punched in the face.]

But his eyes are sharp, the air growing a little colder around him.]
Given that it's the fog's affect, I don't blame you too much. But I'm still not overly happy with you for what you said and did to Sora.
[His voice is steel, almost a complete contrast to the tone he's greeted Squall earlier.]
You deserved that punch.
no subject
Yeah well... that makes two of us.

[He huffs, but relaxes slightly.]
So what are you going to do to make up to him?

[It's Sora.]
You haven't completely screwed up, but you still owe him apologies for everything.
