Knives-chan Has a Cold
"AH - CHOO!!" Vash had been listening to Knives sneeze most of the night. He sighed and popped his head into his shorthaired twin's room to check on him. Knives was sitting in the middle of his bed and looking ticked.
"Vashu! What's happening to me?!" he demanded. "I haven't been able to sleep all night!"
You and me bothVash thought with a sigh. "Calm down Knivesu. You're just getting a cold, that's all," he explained patiently. His sib was still getting used to living 'normally' and hadn't quite experienced everything that went along with that yet.
"That's a spider thing, isn't it? How'd I get one?!" Knives asked, a little panicky.
"Knivesu, I don't know, maybe from someone in town? You'll get over it eventually," Vash said with a grin and a little 'don't worry' wave.
"I KNEW they were contagious! NOW what am I gonna do?!" Knives grumbled a little cloud over his head as he hid under his blanket. All Vash could see of him was a pair of irritated icy blue eyes. Sweatdropping, he thought fast before Knives got REALLY upset.
"Just, um, relax! It's not that bad!" he said quickly. Knives suddenly sneezed again, causing his blanket to billow up like a balloon with the force of it. He coughed and sneezed mightily a few more times before finally getting control of it. Keeping up his hooded mummy act, he glared at Vash from the concealment of his blanket. His spiky-haired sib gave him a nervous grin from the doorway. "Says YOU, Vashu!" Knives sniffled.
"Heh heh, um, I'll go out and get you some soup. That always helped me feel better whenever I got one," Vash said. His twin looked at him with wide eyes like he was a walking petri dish of cold germs.
"I'M not gonna make it! I'll get it from the store!" Vash whined a little hurt at the implication that HE gave Knives the cold.
He headed into town and looked around a bit. I hate the fact that he's feeling awful. Even if he CAN be a brat! he thought as he window-shopped. He ran into some of the neighborhood kids and stopped to play with them for a while, dodging the ball they were throwing around and endured being put into headlocks like usual. He didn't even mind being twisted into a pretzel, since it got all the kinks out of his back.
But then he noticed how late it was getting so he found the store and snapped up some soup. He stopped for a moment when he saw something that he thought would make a good get well present for Knives. If he doesn't hate me for it firstVash thought with a mischievous giggle. He took everything home and Knives stood at his bedroom door, still a mummy and still in a funk. The little cloud was still there and it seemed to have brought friends.
"You're late, Vashu," he growled as he coughed again. He was absolutely miserable and it showed plainly on his little bishonen face. He'd never felt this bad in his rather long life. Everything hurt, dripped or was stuffed up and he was, for lack of a better word, sick of it. He glared at Vash and shuffled over to sit at the table, resting his head on it with a thunk.
Vash absently hummed a tune as he put on the little white Piyo apron and puttered around the kitchen to heat up the soup. His little surprise had thankfully gone unnoticed in a bag on the counter. Soon he pushed a bowl of hot veggie and meat soup across the table to Knives, who raised his groggy head to regard it. He looked blandly at the bowl, then Vash, who handed him a spoon with an apologetic grin. "Gomenasai," he said. "Didn't mean to take so long."
Knives eyed the concoction suspiciously, bobbing the vegetable slices and strange meat cubes around the bowl. Could be poisonoushe thought. He sniffed (as best as he could) the hot steam emanating from it. Smells like it might be good though Warily, he took a spoonful and his eyes went wide with the taste. Surprised at how hungry he was, he began to shovel it up like Vash mowing through donuts. I love this! Now I know why Vashu likes spider-food so much! He even managed to put away seconds!
With a full stomach and a much more pleasant look on his face, he passed the empty bowl back as Vash grinned at him. "Good, huh? It's one of my favorites, too," he told Knives. He noticed his blue eyes starting to slide shut and his head was heading for the table again. Wow, he must be exhausted! he thought as he caught his forehead inches before it would've said 'hi!' to the table. "Knivesu, go back to bed!"
Knives coughed and sniffled again as he shuffled to his room. After he got comfy, Vash came in to stand by his bed, a little fidgety. Knives raised a brow, since Vash seemed to have something behind his back and a nervous grin on his face. What's he up to? He knows he can't keep anything from me for longhe thought.
"What're you hiding, Vashu?" he asked.
"I got you something else to, um, make you feel better," Vash explained as he brandished his surprise. Knives sweatdropped as he saw that it was a plushie. But not just ANY plushie; a pink bunny rabbit with floppy ears and a little red collar around it's neck.
"His name is Kumagorou, Knivesu," Vash said, pointing to the name sewn around the length of the collar. Knives looked at him like he'd lost his blonde marbles. Vash's face fell and he became all teary-eyed. "You don't like him?" He sighed as he lowered the bunny. "I KNEW it.. Too childish, right? Well, maybe one of the kids will like him.." He went to turn to leave and let Knives sleep when he felt a tugging on the plushie.
Knives had pulled it from his grasp and was huddling under his blanket with Kumagorou's head poking out from under his chin. He glared at Vash with an 'I DARE you to crack a joke!' look on his face. The little cloud and its friends were gone though, Vash had noticed. He grinned at Knives, who settled down to snooze with Kuma under his arm. As he left, he heard Knives mumble something.
"What'd you say, Knivesu?" he asked.
"I SAID: 'Arigato for Kumagorou,' Vashu. I guess he's.. Kawaii or something," Knives said, without pulling back the blanket. I'm sure not gonna say that to his face! he thought.
"Heh heh. Do itashimashite then, Knivesu! Hope you feel better soon!" Vash said with a happy grin as he closed the door on his way out. I didn't even think that he knew what 'kawaii' WAS! he thought with a puzzled look. He shrugged and went to the kitchen for a treat. There's hope for him yet!
*OWARI*
Well, hope you enjoyed this odd little look at the rare creature known as Chibi-Knives. (And what a strange trip it was, wasn't it? ^_^) Also, his kawaii little friend is sort of a tribute to another anime I love called 'Gravitation'. (Ryuichi & his Kumagorou are just adorable! ^_^) Not sure if I'll do much more with this series. (I've got a Trigun parody one going that's taking up a lot of my time, I'm afraid. But it's just as good as this one, even with the weird humor. ^_^) I might do a Wolfwood one and maybe one about Milly, but that'll probably be it for this series after those two chapters. Gomen! Go check out the parodies! They won't bite! (Unless you ask them to, that is. ^_^;) Ja, minnasan! ^_^
