    Summary

    Of three things, Wolfwood is sure:

    One; whatever ill-contrived afterlife he had reached, it was silent. And warm. And soft, like well-loved blankets or forest moss. A final mockery of comfort in his dire hours – though there were certainly worse ways to be teased by death, he knew.

    Two; he ached in ways he had never known. Down to his bones, the fine tangle of his tissue and sinew, the soft sponge of his marrow. His skeleton rearranged and his body bled dry. Heavy and twitching, he cannot move himself.

    Three; he was just as alone as before. Whatever strange place he had found himself was as desolate as it was gentle.

    No, there. The sound of footsteps. The disgruntled creak of a floorboard. A door swinging wide on old hinges and the soft tune of a man humming off-key.

    Summary

    “Like anyone’s stopping you?” Wolfwood’s eyes roll; Vash is enthralled by the simple motion, the full expanse of his deep brown irises visible with his sunglasses folded on the bedside table. They cuddle like this often, these days, so it’s not like Wolfwood’s eye colour is new to him, but even in their more easy life, Wolfwood doesn’t like to go without them. They do live on a desert planet, after all. Beyond that, it’s vulnerable in a way that Vash would have to actively pretend not to understand, hence why he doesn’t usually push Wolfwood to take them off.

    This isn’t the sort of moment that Wolfwood has to hide from, though, and Vash is close enough that all he has to do is lean in a little closer, press the tips of their noses together, and watch the way Wolfwood’s pupils shrink into pinpricks in his embarrassment, giving Vash an even better sight of that pretty brown.

    “You,” Wolfwood says, and he whiffles, as if he’d been caught off guard by Vash’s proximity, “you like that about me, anyhow.” He clears his throat.

    “That you’re mean to me?” Vash clarifies.

    ---

    Vash can't lie; he might just like everything about Wolfwood.

    “God might forgive this kinda shit,” Wolfwood snarls, “but I ain’t that easy.”

    Summary

    For as long as he had known, Edgar had known death. He knew death at an early age and it carried throughout his childhood. There was only one way to protect those around him, by having no one around him. But as he lay in a puddle of his own blood and the world slipped away there was nothing more he wanted than for someone, a certain someone, there.
