[ Quietly, Riku nods in regards to the request given to him by Ven and, after a moment, he comes to lay back down against the sheets and pillows he's used to make their blanket fort... only to then come up beside him and, carefully so, pull him close against him in a gentle embrace.
To see Ventus like this... it reminds him of Sora when they were younger and he would end up afraid during the night. At times, they would share a bed, Riku promising to protect him during the night with a sniffling Sora hiding under the sheets beside him. Although Ventus seems more quiet than sniffling and sobbing, he knows how much it meant to Sora to have him there close beside him, to have that presence there and so, he does the same with Ventus, even in silence. ]
