Heart Changes
Prologue
Vash sat in the chair; chin in hand, watching his brother sleep. Knives had been in that bed for nearly a month and Vash was starting to get worried. He hoped that he hadn't done any real long-term damage to him.
"Vash?"
The Humanoid Typhoon turned to see Meryl Stryfe standing in the doorway.
"He's not waking up Meryl. I don't know what to do," Vash told her as she came up beside him.
"There really is nothing we can do until he wakes up," Meryl said, trying to comfort the man. Vash sighed and looked at the petite Insurance girl.
"I guess this means that it's your turn to watch over him, huh?"
Meryl nodded and Vash got up, allowing her to sit by the bed. Before he walked out, he laid a hand gently on Meryl's shoulder.
"Thanks Meryl," he said. She gave a small smile and put her hand on top of his. As of late, Vash had been using the girls' names more often than not and Meryl's permanent PMS seemed to slowly be wearing off.
Vash let go of Meryl's shoulder and walked out of the room. He paused outside of the door to reflect on how his life had changed.
After the fight with Knives, he manages to catch up with the two insurance girls. After quitting their jobs, the girls managed to get a small house, which they shared with Vash and the unconscious Knives. Meryl had gotten a part time job as a waitress and Millie had been hired s a construction worker. Meanwhile, the only job that Vash had been able to get, was as a plant technician.
"Vash-san? Are you okay?"
Vash cleared his head and saw Millie Thompson standing in front of him. She was still wearing her work clothes. Her light brown hair, which she had cut to just above her shoulders, was filthy and matted.
"I'm fine," he answered. She smiled back childishly and continued on her way to the washroom. He watched the big girl until she rounded a corner and disappeared from sight. Vash looked down at his hands. No one had called her "Big Girl" since Wolfwood's death. That had been his nickname for her and no one wanted to take it from him.
He pushed himself away from the wall and walked to his room. He was in a very depressed mood and he thought that a nap would do him some good. He lied down and fell into a world of memories.
Meryl put her feet on the edge of the bed, on a place that Knives wasn't occupying. The same thought passed through her head that always did when it was her turn to watch Knives. *Please don't let him wake up while I'm in here.* She was scared of him and would be the first one to admit it. The only reason that she was even in here, watching this man, was because of Vash. Meryl would do just about anything for Vash. Meryl sighed.
"Senpai?"
Meryl looked up and saw Millie standing behind her, appearing to have just stepped out of a shower.
"Is there something wrong Millie?" Meryl asked.
"No, Senpai. But aren't you suppose to go into work early today?"
Meryl's eyes widened as she jumped out of the seat. She almost ran out of the room, when she turned back to her friend.
"Would you mind watching him for me?"
"Of course not, Senpai," Millie answered, settling herself in the chair. Meryl flashed her a quick smile of appreciation, then ran out the room and down the hall.
Millie folded her arms on the bed and laid her head on them. She really didn't mind watching Knives. Although Senpai feared him, Vash-san didn't, which meant that there must have been some good in him.
Suddenly her eyelids felt very heavy…
She woke to find herself staring into cold blue eyes. Perplexed, she sat up and saw that Knives had woken up. Millie blinked and wondered what to do about that.
"Um… I think I'll go get Vash-san and let him know that you're awake," Millie said, rising from the chair. His arm shot out and grabbed Millie's wrist. A shocked almost scared expression crossed her face. Was he going to hurt her?
"K-Knives-san?" she stuttered, looking him in the face. She didn't see a trace of malice there. She saw…nothing…in his face. It was as if he was void of all emotion. She tried to pull away from Knives' death grip but he only tightened it.
"Knives-san, you're starting to hurt me," Millie said, her voice starting to rise with fear. He dropped her wrist, but held her gaze.
"Don't leave me," he said hoarsely. She could tell from his voice that he didn't want her company, but that he preferred it over being alone.
She sat back down and tried looking everywhere but at him.
Finally the suns started setting. Millie walked to the window, watching the sunset.
When they were finally fully set, she went back to the bed.
"Um, do you want some food or something?" She asked.
"Don't leave me," was all he said.
"I'll be right back, Knives-san. I should go get something for you to eat. You're going to need your strength."
Knives said nothing, but he narrowed his eyes.
At that moment, Vash, who was still groggy from his nap, walked in, saw Knives, and a goofy grin broke out on his face. He went to embrace his brother, but, forgetting about the chair at Knives' bedside, ended up on the floor instead.
Giggling, Millie left the room with the intent of making a little dinner for the three of them. While she was excited about Knives' awakening, she had a feeling that Knives was going to try and make life as complicated as possible.
