Summary
Wolfwood learns only after the initial meeting that Vash’s hair is blond and not a deep, violent red.
They meet for the first time when Vash shows up in the middle of the night, looking more dead than alive– more writhing mass of blood than anything particularly humanoid– and begs to please be let in because he is injured and needs somewhere to heal and to hide. Wolfwood does not know who or what is at his door, but the more Vash talks, the more he says that he just knows this is his best shot, the more Wolfwood thinks he’s right.
Wolfwood invites him in, knowing full well that he’s saying goodbye to the last shred of sanity he can claim to have, but… he does it anyway. Then the two of them spend the long, lazy days of late summer together, sharing bottom-shelf whiskey and bedtime stories in the citronella-scented night, even as monsters lurk in the shadows. Even though Vash may very well be one of those monsters. They can only hope there’s time to sort out their feelings before Vash’s past catches up to him.
