    Summary

    “Don’t be afraid.”

    “How can you even say that to me?” Vash asks, still cringing away from Knives’ touch.

    His brother’s skin lacks temperature. Vash runs hot, has missed his natural body heat as the floor, this ship, blood loss, has taken it from him. But his brother has made himself lack heat, or cold, he just is. It feels alien, makes Knives feel dead, or like he is made entirely of bone.

    “Everything I’ve done, I’ve done for you. For us. I don’t think that’s anything to fear,” Knives says, still gentle, still looking at Vash like they are family.

    “You hurt me,” Vash says, tears burn his eyes. “You’ve hurt me so much.”

    “You don’t fear humans.”
