Summary
Her hands landed on her hips. “You didn’t think we’d be keeping you on the couch, did you?”
He swallowed. So, they were throwing him out. Made sense. He knew it would happen eventually. Sora couldn’t look after Vanitas forever, and Kumo wouldn’t want him imposing on her life. But if he didn’t have plans before, he had no semblance of ideas now. Where would he go? Or were they sending him off somewhere? The Realm of Darkness where he logically belonged? The Land of Departure to face his actions? Vexen’s lab?
“I don’t have things.” He said. Only his suit and his Keyblade. Nothing to pack.
“I know, silly billy. That’s why we’re going to the store. To get stuff for your room.” Kumo smiled at him, relaxed, but eyes searching.
Vanitas’s mouth went dry. “My room?”

Summary
“A...bubble bath?” Vanitas curled his lip at the bottle Sora dangled between his thumb and first finger.
“Yes, a bubble bath. They’re nice.” Sora grinned.
“I know that!” Vanitas snapped.
He really didn’t. He’d never had a bath, much less one with bubbles. (Were they nice because they restored magic?) He knew being clean, he wasn’t a heathen, but his showers usually consisted of Xehanort blasting the dirt off him after training with that frigid water magic of his. That was efficient. He didn’t see the point in soaking oneself in their own grime, it seemed time consuming and ineffective.
Update: 10/13/22 finally got around to updating the continuity of this and some other minor edits. No major changes, probably not very noticeable :^)

Summary
“What?” he spat, spotting Kairi rocking on the balls of her feet bellow.
“Come hang out with me!” She called with a grin.
He scoffed, “What? Don’t have Sora and Riku to tell you what to do so you’re coming to me? I assure you I’m not a replacement.”
She fisted her hands on her hips and leaned forward. “Oh please! I want to get to know you better, Vanitas!”
“You already know everything you need to know about me.”
“No way! You’re like the most mysterious person I know!” She pointed a finger gun at him and canted her head into a wink. “Or that I don’t know.”
“No.” He grabbed the window handle.
“C’mon! Let’s go to the movies! I’ll let you pick!”
“I wouldn’t need you to let me.”
“Then come on down then!”
Surely a movie couldn’t be that bad. He wouldn’t have to talk during it. And it would make her stop shouting from the yard.
“Fine.”
Or “POV you’re Vanitas and Kairi is manhandling you into friendship.”
