10. Breathe Again
Past Wolfwood/Vash implied
Mangaverse
First person Vash POV, canonical character death (for some reason, I just can't stop with these angsty drabbles!), language, and implied yaoi.
Is it selfish of me? Maybe it is my own fear, my own sadness wanting you to take one more breath, to look up at me as I gather your body in my arms, tell me there's no way you'd let those bastards kill you, that we're leaving this place together, that in the end we'll come back here together.
You don't answer me; I know you can't. I hope there's a next world, a green one without pain, suffering, killing.
Yet I'd give anything, even my own life, for you to breathe again, to be alive, to be here.
