    Summary

    “Is there a way to do it without it making me cough a lung out?” He asks, carrying just the right amount of naivety in his suggestion to keep Wolfwood from screaming and running to the next town.

    “Well, yeah…” he says slowly.

    “Will you show me?” Vash asks quietly, because he’s always so merciful.

    Summary

    "Did you always want to be a priest?" For a moment, Wolfwood forgets the difference between the imaginary and reality. It's as if Vash has reached into his mind, asking the question in the space of his thoughts and not in the span of this room. He spins back into the present, turning to look at Vash who's waiting expectantly, eyes even bluer than usual.

    "I didn't want to be anything." It's perhaps more than what Vash was bargaining for but he only nods, sage in his compassion toward even the most nonsensical of dilemmas. "Free? I guess that's what I wanted to be. Free."

    Vash smiles, bemusement causing his cheeks to rise. "So you took up the cross?"

    "That came after—when I grew up enough to realise the truth."

     

    Or: Vash trusts very few. He trusts Wolfwood though.

    Summary

    Then it happens, as dreadful and magnificent as Vash has thought it would: Wolfwood's hand covering the trigger wheel, his fingers lancing through it, pressing in, pushing down, pulling, turning, sharpening the lines of his forearm into a breathtaking unholiness.

    Vash thinks about Wolfwood's hands a lot

    Summary

    Wolfwood’s pulse fluttered. Slow, weak, but there. Any other human could not have survived with a pulse this slow for this long, but whatever they had made him into was keeping him alive. His skin was cool against Vash’s fingers, but not cold. Not dead. Just close enough to fool him into digging half a grave.
    Vash closed his eyes and leaned forward, resting his forehead against Wolfwood’s.
    “Live until I get back, okay?”

    In another universe, God is kinder, and they both live to the end. Their story continues onwards.

    Summary

    Wolfwood threw up one hand, the other still braced against the cross on his shoulder. “Well, I’m sorry, okay? I was trying to help these people. Can you believe that, at least?”

    “I …” Vash swallowed. “I don’t want blood on your hands either.”

    It’s too late for that, Vash. Don’t you see? It’s been too late for a long time.

    Some arguments can only be improved by encountering their opposite.

    Vash and Wolfwood argue. Often.
