Chapter 8: Intertwined Destinies
It had been over a week since Wolfwood had been home, and he still hadn't said a word to Meryl and Vash. They were beginning to worry if he was thinking anything suicidal. They had never seen him this depressed and it was starting to get a little disturbing the way everything in his life was suddendly so terrible. Meryl tried to explain to him that he had to move on someday, but he just glared at her, not saying one word. Even Vash tried to cheer him up a little by taking him to the bar to meet girls, but of course, Meryl was very pissed at this action, but she figured if it cheered Wolfwood up, then she'd rather them go to the bar and meet whores.
It didn't.....
He didn't say one word the whole time even though he had girls all over him, it's like they weren't even there to them. He just sat there staring blankly as he sipped his Schmirnoff on the rocks. Vash ate the attention up, but Wolfwood was different, he almost seemed bothered by the attention.
After numerous tries, Vash and Meryl finally gave up on him, hoping he'd finally come to his senses someday. So they left him alone, to do what he pleased.
" Do you think Millie misses me?" Meryl voice piped up once again, waking Vash from his sleep.
" Meryl.... please, I'm trying to sleep," Vash chuckled as he rolled over in bed to look his lover in the eyes.
" I'm sorry, I just miss her, you know?" Meryl explained, moving closer to Vash.
" It's okay, she'll come back..." Vash mumbled, trying to drift off to sleep.
" Okay... Good night, Vash.." Meryl whispered in Vash's ear, brushing a light kiss on his lips.
Vash didn't say anything, he was already asleep. Meryl chuckled lightly as she stroked his cheek lightly. Its amazing how innocent he can look when he sleeps...
Vash was sound asleep, but Meryl laid in bed staring out the window at the stars twinkling brightly in the sky. She couldn't get her mind off the only best friend she ever had. Millie was her hope when times were hard, and her guidance when she needed it most. She didn't know how she had survived even a few weeks without her. But she knew she shouldn't go persuade her to come back, because that was Millie's descision, not hers. And she figured she might come back someday to visit her, right?
Whatever the reason, she knew Millie would always be her first and only true friend, no matter how far apart they were.
Meryl rolled over to look at Vash's flawless face. He was so perfect to her, everything about him was exactly what she'd ever hoped for. And then it suddendly hit her, Wolfwood must feel the same way about Millie as she does to Vash. Meryl had no idea what she would ever to do herself if Vash left, and she suddenly started to understand how Wolfwood felt, and why he felt so miserable. She felt almost guilty for telling him to move on, when she knew she couldn never move on if Vash ever left.
She glanced over at Vash again. She loved to watch him sleep, he looked so peaceful. Ever since her and Vash started sharing the same bed, she could almost never fall asleep because she was always watching and studying him when he was sleeping. She felt so complete when she was near him, and she never wanted to miss one moment spent with him.
Meryl glanced out the window one last time, fixing her gaze upon the two moons that were incandescent in the dark, night sky. As she looked upon the beautiful night sky, she felt a stray tear grazing along her cheek.
Vash awoke to the bright sunlight piercing through his eyes, causing him to squint his eyes tightly. He sat up quietly and glanced over at Meryl, who was still sleeping peacefully. He knew it must've been at least ten o'clock, but he didn't care, it was a saturday morning. He laid his head down on Meryl's chest, listening to her steady heartbeat. His wrapped his arm around her, trying to take in as much of her warmth as he could. Meryl slowly opened her eyes and glanced down at Vash, who was squeezing her tightly.
" Hey..." She said quietly, rubbing her eyes to wake herself up more.
" Hey," He said moving towards her face and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
" Morinin'," Meryl said greeting him with a light kiss on the lips.
Vash smiled at her and hugged her even tighter. He loved being close to her, especially on Saturday mornings because they could sleep in as long as they wanted.
" What time is it?" Meryl sat up abruptly. Vash let out a slight whine and pulled her back down next to him.
" It doesn't matter..." He said, kissing every section of exposed skin on Meryl's shoulder.
Meryl chuckled lightly." It doesn't?" She joked, wrapping her arms around him. Vash smiled and nestled his head on Meryl's shoulder. He slowly traced his finger along Meryl's jawline and towards her lips. He moved his face close to her face to look into her eyes deeply. She smiled at him and gave him a sweet, innocent kiss, stroking his soft blonde hair.
" I should make breakfast..." Meryl said, pulling away to look Vash in the eyes.
" Noo..." Vash whined, trying to hold her down, but Meryl pushed her tiny body out of his grasp and made her way towards the bedroom door.
" Now you know I don't like to stay in bed this late," Meryl told him, placing a hand on her petite hip.
" Awww..." Vash whined again, putting on his best puppy dog face.
Meryl rolled her eyes and chuckled at him as she made her way out of their bedroom. Man did she have him figured out...
Meryl made her way into the kitchen and sighed at the mess it had become last night after dinner. There was plates all over the place and the food had been left out to grow stale. It shows men never volunteer to do any work....
" Need some help?" A very familiar voice called to her quietly.
Meryl's eyes widened. " Millie?!" Meryl's voice was bewildered and shocked. She didn't know what to say when she layed her eyes her best friend, sitting peacefully on the sofa. She had no idea how she hadn't noticed her when she walked in the kitchen.
" I noticed it was kinda a mess in there.." Millie joked, trying to break the suprised look on Meryl's face.
" Oh my god Millie! Where the hell have you been?" Meryl ran towards her and threw her arms around her, hugging her tightly. Millie jumped back a little at first, but continued to hug her back, smiling brightly.
" Yeah, it's been a while, hasn't it?" Millie said, pulling away to look into Meryl's eyes.
" MILLIE!!!!" Vash came charging in, practically attacking her with his hug.
" Well, hello Mr. Vash," Millie joked.
" Millie, I'm curious, why'd you come back?" Meryl asked, a perplexed look on her face.
Millie's bright smile slowly pressed into a frown, and she turned her head away. There was a long silence as Millie shuffled her body uncomfortably. Vash and Meryl glanced at each other with confused looks on their faces, waiting for an answer from Millie.
" W-well, I m-mean, I guess I came to see Wolfwood mostly..." Millie's voice trailed off, and she pulled on a stray hair, twirling it around her finger nervously.
Meryl knew it was more than that. " What's wrong Millie?"
" I-I mean I came to tell you guys too...." Millie paused again, biting her lip tensely.
" Tell us what?" Vash was so dumbfounded.
There was another long pause and the dead silence practically suffocated Meryl to death. She wanted know what was eating her best friend.
" Im pregnant."
Vash and Meryl's jaws dropped, but soon after, their lips curved into a wide smile.
" Oh my god Millie!! That's wonderful!!" Meryl threw her arms around her friend, she tuly felt happy for her.
" You mean I'm gonna be an uncle?" Vash said excitdely.
" Well, I guess you could it refer to yourself as that." Millie laughed, blushing slightly from embarrassment.
" Have you told your family?" Meryl asked happily.
" Well, no.. actually, I mean, my family's a little wierd about having a baby out-of-wedlock, so I came to you guys first," Millie voice was suddendly lowered to a whisper.
" Oh, well were always here for you.." Vash said happily, giving her a pat on the back.
" You can stay here if you'd like," Meryl suggested, " I mean, only if you want to."
" Yes, I'd like that," Millie's face brightened up, " Do I get my old room back with you, Meryl?"
Meryl blushed slightly, remembering that Millie had no idea her and Vash were seeing each other. Meryl cleared her throat nervously and glanced at Vash with a helpless look on her face.
" W-well... no... I mean, n-not anymore.." Meryl tried to explain to Millie.
" Oh," Millie was very confused.
" Well," Meryl glanced at Vash one last time, " Vash and I share a room together,"
" You do? How come?" Millie was always being so innocent. Vash laughed at her remark, and pulled Meryl next to him.
" Well, because we love each other," Vash said, holding Meryl tightly.
" Really?!" Millie seemed even more excited now then she did about the baby, " Oh, wow, that's great I always knew you guys should be together!!"
Millie clapped her hands together excitidely, " So much has happened since I've been gone!"
" Well actually, I think you'd better go talk to Wolfwood, he's been so miserable since you left. He hasn't even said one word to us the whole time!" Meryl explained, pulling away from Vash's grip.
" Yes, I guess you're right," Millie said, standing up shakily. She let out a slight sigh and made her way towards Wolfwood's bedroom. So many thoughts played through her head. She didn't know what to say to him when she saw him. She wondered if he still loved her, or if he ever did in the first place. She nervously placed her hand on the doorknob and shut her eyes tightly. She jiggled the doorknob slightly and slowly swung the door open, staring at the ground.
" Millie?!" It was the first thing Wolfwood had said in a long time.
" Hey Nicolas..." Millie said, still not looking in his eyes.
" Nicolas?" Wolfwood's voice was suddendly full of happiness as he ran towards her, throwing his arms around her.
" Never leave me like that again!" Wolfwood face was already stained with tears of happiness.
Millie chuckled lightly. " I won't..."
" But why? Why'd you come back?" Wolfwood looked into Millie's eyes, they were warm and happy again....
" W-well... Lots of reasons.." Millie said, sitting him down on the bed. She sat down next to him and placed her hand in his, lacing her fingers in his.
" Nicolas..." She let out another sigh, and turned her face away.
" Huh?" Wolfwood was even more confused than Vash and Meryl.
" I love you, I want you to know that..." Millie said, beating around the bush.
" I love you too..." Wolfwood said, kissing her cheek softly, " Tell me, what's wrong?"
" I'm pregnant..." Millie shut her eyes tightly, she didn't want to see the look on his face.
The silence was killing her, why wasn't he saying anything? She opened her slightly, and to her suprise, Wolfwood looked the happiest he ever did in his life. Tears of happiness were flowing down his face, and his lips were pressed into a wide smile, his eyes spakling brightly.
" I'm gonna be a father?" He finally said after a long pause.
Millie nodded, tears of happiness also sprang in her eyes. Wolfwood chuckled pleasently, and he hugged Millie tightly.
" This is the happiest day of my life..."
