    Summary

    “I don’t deserve–”

    The slap echoed across the arid expanse like a thunderclap. Open palm. Flapping jaw. The resulting silence was somehow even louder. Vash gingerly reached up to touch his reddening cheek, looking as surprised as Wolfwood felt.

    “That more like it, huh? That what you think you fuckin’ deserve?” One hand raked over Vash’s undercut and seized a fistful of his stupid hair, wrenching his head back. Hard. Hard enough that the cry of pain that Vash was biting back slipped free, sharpened by the shock of it. There was something else in his sunny-day gaze, too, something underneath the shame and the sting. It looked a lot like hope. Naked trust. It made him fucking sick.

    “You wanna hurt, Blondie?” his whisper held the gravity of forty years spent doling out pain with surgical precision. “‘Cause I can do that for ya.”

    Vash's constant martyrdom is really starting to piss Wolfwood off.

    Summary

    “Since when the hell did you have a 𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘬?” Wolfwood demands, feeling a bit crazy as Vash ducks his head and tries to hide his face by turning it to stare at the wall. “Is that seriously what that is? Are you 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥?”

    “This is from earlier!” Vash swore back, face as red as his coat, neck bent and nearly nose-to-nose. “Give me a break, I’m not used to this!”

    “𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯?”

     .

    Wolfwood learns some things about himself. And then some things about Vash. They learn together - one could almost call it romantic.

    Summary

    “So…” He starts, unreasonably curious. “Are you, like, a fertility Plant, or—”

    “Oh my god, shut up.” Vash groans. “I’m not telling you anything else. I just—things are different for me. Here. I don’t even know. I’m like,” he presses his forehead into Nicholas, “going insane.”

    Nicholas rubs his hand down Vash’s back. “Can I help somehow?”

    “You can die.”

    After stumbling upon a geo plant, Nicholas learns several things about Vash in quick succession. Namely, the reason for that sweet, floral scent that drives him crazy.
