Chapter 6: Identity Crisis
"So why didn't you come to class on time?" asked Vash.
"One of our mares went into labor and I couldn't miss the birth. It's really wonderful to witness such a miracle," said Meryl.
"You should have seen Vash this morning. He was squirming in his seat like he hadn't been to the bathroom in years," said Wolfwood.
"Yeah, yeah," mumbled Vash.
"I would've came back no matter what," said Meryl.
"Even if it was the most embarrassing moment of your whole entire life?" questioned Milly.
"Of course," said Meryl easily.
"Why?" asked Wolfwood.
"Because if I didn't come back, there would be no Vash to let out my sexual frustration," Meryl said innocently. All three of their jaws dropped. Then Wolfwood started laughing.
"Ho, ho! You lucky dog!" said Wolfwood and elbowed Vash in the shoulder. Vash was very red.
"You do realize I was just joking right?" said Meryl.
"Yeah of course you were," said Wolfwood. Meryl shook her head. Idiot.
"Hey, um next week Friday is my seventeenth birthday. So I was wondering if the three of you would like to spend the weekend at my place," said Meryl.
"YES!!!" said the trio simultaneously.
"Fabulous," said Meryl cheerfully.
........
When sixth period ended that day, Meryl and Vash walked towards Vash's fifth period class. Vash forgot to pick up his work from last Friday. As Meryl waited outside, she saw Knives walk up to her. Meryl stiffened up. She didn't hate Knives; she merely disliked him. But the awful thing was that she saw Vash in Knives even though the two were absolutely different. Maybe it's the fact that they're brothers? thought Meryl.
"Hello Meryl," said Knives.
"Hi," Meryl said, trying not to sound rude.
"I heard what happened on Friday," said Knives. Yeah, so did the entire school ya idiot! Meryl kept that thought to her.
"Yeah," said Meryl.
"Are you all right?" asked Knives. Meryl looked into his face and scrutinized his expression. To her shock, he looked concerned. Or is this just a façade?
"Yes I'm fine," said Meryl. Knives stepped closer to her and Meryl automatically stepped back into the wall.
"If you need someone to talk to, I'm here you know," said Knives softly. He sounds just like Vash, thought Meryl. This is wrong, this is so wrong. He's so much like Vash when he wants to be, but yet he's not Vash. Meryl was in a state of confusion.
"Thank you for your concern," said Meryl. She wanted to get away from Knives but he was too close to her. Slowly, Knives lifted his hand and placed it against her cheek. He even feels like Vash, Meryl thought desperately. Unconsciously, she leaned into his touch. Knives looked down at her with soft eyes. In Meryl's mind, Knives flickered from Vash, then to Knives, then back again. She was frustrated and she wanted to get away, but she found no strength to move her legs. Knives leaned in closer. No, no, no, no, no…
"Meryl?" Meryl's eyes widened. The white-blond head of Knives was at the side of her face and on the other side was Vash. She felt Knives' lips come in contact with her ear and she shivered.
"Don't be afraid to ask for my help," he whispered and Knives straightened up. Meryl was frozen in her place. What the hell is wrong with you? Can't you even tell the bloody difference between the two of them? No, not when Knives acts like that. This thought frightened Meryl. "Hello dear brother," said Knives. This time, Knives was his old self. Meryl's eyes hardened.
"Knives," Vash stated.
"See you later," and Knives walked away. Meryl took in a shaky breath. She felt so dirty and unfaithful. He was manipulating you. That's what Meryl realized. It was so wrong.
"Meryl? Meryl!" said Vash. He shook Meryl's shoulders a bit.
"Huh?" said Meryl.
"Are you all right?" asked Vash. She looked into Vash's eyes. It broke her heart when she saw pain in his eyes. Meryl looked away and her eyes started to water.
"No, I'm not all right," Meryl cried. She started crying hard. Vash took her into his arms and guided her outside.
........
They sat on the bleachers for a long time just holding each other. Vash murmured soothingly to her. Fifteen minutes later, Meryl got her control back.
"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Vash quietly. Meryl nodded her head.
"Knives came up to me asking if I was all right. I looked at him and I thought he was actually concerned about me. Then something hit me and I realized that he sounded and even looked like you. I don't know. Maybe it's the fact that you're brothers or the way he was acting all sentimental. But in my mind I saw your face and then it would flicker back to his then back to yours. It was so confusing. By that time, he was touching my face and I liked it." Meryl started crying softly again and hugged her knees to her chest. "I liked it Vash because it reminded me so much of you. Then when Knives started talking to you, I knew who was who because I could see both of you visually. I don't even like Knives that way and yet I allowed myself to act that way." Meryl got up and started pacing. "It's so stupid. My dazed and confused mind can't even tell the difference between two people who are not at all alike. I'm such a shitty girlfriend." Vash stood up.
"No you're not. You're the best girlfriend any guy could have," said Vash sternly.
"I hate feeling like this. I hate being confused and disillusioned," Meryl said, not even addressing Vash's statement. She turned towards Vash. "Maybe Jessica is right after all. Maybe I am what she says I am," she said quietly. All of a sudden two arms wrapped around her small frame. Vash sat down and pulled Meryl onto his lap.
"Listen to me because I'm not going to say it again." Vash made Meryl look into his eyes. "You are not what Jessica says about you. You are Meryl Stryfe. You are my wonderful and amazing girlfriend. You are intelligent, kind, gentle, and loving. My angel." Meryl smiled softly.
"Of all the sixteen years of my life, I don't know what I ever did that was so worthy to deserve you," said Meryl.
"Ditto on that except mine would be seventeen years," said Vash. Meryl giggled softly.
"I don't ever want that to happen to me again. I never want to be confused again," said Meryl. She nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck. "I only want to know you and only you."
"Well, my name is Vash Saverem. I have glossy, blond hair, I have aqua eyes, and, well, I'm sexy," said Vash.
"I know you are," giggled Meryl. She started rub her lips up and down against the column of his neck. Vash's breath hitched in his throat.
"And I love being seduced by my girlfriend and hopefully one day she will agree to have twenty children with me," said Vash. Meryl quickly sat up straight and looked at Vash with shock.
"Twenty children?! Are you crazy?" exclaimed Meryl.
"Fine, fine. Make it fifteen," said Vash. Meryl laughed.
"You know Vash, once a woman is pregnant, you can't have sex for many, many months," Meryl said, putting the emphasis on many.
"On second thought, I think one is enough," said Vash. A moment of silence passed.
"Aren't you mad at me?" asked Meryl quietly.
"No, of course not. I was a bit hurt because I thought that maybe you wanted to be with Knives instead of me." Meryl placed her hands on either side of his face.
"Knives isn't Vash Saverem. Therefore, I would never want to be with Knives the way I want to be with you," said Meryl. "And heck, who in their right mind would name their child Knives?"
"I'm not quite sure. I guess I got lucky with Vash."
"I'm sorry I hurt you. I hate it when you're in pain," Meryl said. She pressed her forehead against his.
"There's nothing to be sorry about because you didn't do it intentionally," said Vash.
"You are so generous Vash," said Meryl. She nuzzled her nose against his. Vash tried to kiss her but Meryl teasingly pulled away. Meryl stood up and straddled his lap. "There we go; that's more comfortable." Vash's arms wrapped around her.
"Are you trying to tell me something?" Vash said amusingly.
"Pervert," murmured Meryl and she brushed her lips against his. Vash immediately deepened the kiss. He loved it when Meryl made these cute, little purring sounds when he kissed her. Vash's hands ran along Meryl's bare thighs…bare?! Vash looked down and noticed that she was wearing a skirt.
"You're wearing a skirt," said Vash.
"Yeah, so?" asked Meryl.
"I've never seen you wear a skirt," said Vash.
"Well I decided that wearing a skirt has its many advantages," said Meryl. Vash raised an eyebrow.
"I knew there was a wild side just waiting to come out," said Vash.
"You got that right," said Meryl and she pressed her lips hard against his. Her fingers ran through his hair and her legs wrapped around him even closer. Vash let out a sort of strangled grunt. Meryl knew that he was aroused by her actions. She even felt the evidence of his arousal. Should I be evil? Yes…
Meryl shifted herself right in the middle of his lap. Vash's breathing accelerated. She had that naughty glint in her eyes that he remembered seeing in her car. Meryl placed her arms around his shoulders and slowly moved her hips. Vash emitted a low moan. She moved against it again and Vash let out another moan and buried his face against her neck. Meryl continued her slow movements of torture while Vash nipped and sucked at her neck. She let out a tiny moan and arched her back. In her hazy mind, she knew there would be a mark there. She gasped as Vash pressed her harder against him. Just the slightest, she quickened her pace. Vash knew what would happen if he let her continue.
"Mmmeryl, you've got to stop," groaned Vash. Meryl pressed her lips against his to quiet him. She felt his body shivering and she knew he was close. Replace pain with pleasure, she thought.
"Don't hold back," she mumbled against his lips. Vash's eyes widened. He never knew she would be so bold.
"But-" Meryl pushed her tongue through his open lips and deepened the kiss. Vash's grip on her hips was getting tighter by the second. Any second now, he would let loose. Meryl pulled back and watched his expressions. His eyes were closed in concentration from trying to hold back, his lips pressed in a stubborn line. Meryl slowed her rhythm to almost nothing. Vash trembled and slowly open his eyes. She kissed him passionately and jerked her hips hard against his.
"Meryl…" Vash hissed in a breath and his body stiffened up. He had a deathly grip on her hips now. Every muscle in his body was taut. After a couple of seconds later, he released a breath and relaxed. Vash rested his forehead against her shoulder. His breath came out in harsh pants and she stroked his golden head. When Vash got his breath back, he mumbled something that Meryl couldn't understand.
"Say that again?" said Meryl.
"I said you were lucky," said Vash.
"Why?" asked Meryl.
"Because I have an extra pair of clothes in my bag."
