Beyond Reasoning
Chapter 10
An Appology

So there I sat beside Milly the entire way to December staring at the back of her head feeling awful. Never had I said something so awful to anybody and it had to be in front of Candy non the less. If Milly hadn't told me to tell her something so stupid then I wouldn't have shouted like that and Candy wouldn't have walked in and I wouldn't have offended her.
Yeah it was Milly's fault. Now my main problem was to get on Candy's good side again and I didn't know how. Though I had been traveling with her for two weeks I realized I hardly knew anything about her likes and dislikes. Sure I knew she came up in a family with three other kids, her being the oldest but I had no clue besides red. She loved red and little kids. After seeing her being malled and helping that family I realized she had a soft spot for children, which was no different from me. Leaning my head on my hand I looked at her back side trying to figure out something about her, something she had said ininvertantly that I could use to surprise her. Well she did like tea and she had bought those chocolate covered donuts. Maybe she liked chocolate. It was worth a shot. So when I got to December, or a stop before that I'll buy her chocolate and tea then apploize for my rude actions. Leaning back I thought about my brother and why I hadn't seen him in the past two weeks. Frowning I had begun worring about what Knives had planned. I really hopped that it didn't have to do with Candy. I saw her head turn slightly as her eyes gazed back at me and then turned forward. That look really seemed to hurt me when she did it. I wanted to stand up and go over there and tell her that I was stupid for saying all that crap and embrace her appolizing a million times. Looking out the window again I watched as the desert passed by. Closing my eyes a second I saw Candy's face there laughing about something or another. It was comferting really to see that. Shaking my head I opened my eyes looking at Milly who had fallen asleep.
"...Maybe I could try..." I said to myself standing up and trying to crawl over I found myself face first on the ground of the bus. Looking back I found Milly still sleeping. That woman could sleep through anything, couldn't she? Standing up I walked over to behind her seat/ "..Candy.." Her face turned toward the window more as if to ignore me. Frowning I sat down in the space beside her in the seat and turned my face to the isle. "..won't you just hear me out." No answer. "Please I said those things out of anger and embarresment really. I didn't mean them. Candy you have been such wonderful company, really you have been. I consider you a great friend. Please I am really sorry for what I said. You know from what you saw that I'm not that type of person." Why was it hurting so much thinking about Candy not around? I didn't understand it at all. Turning her head Candy looked at me with an expression I couldn't read.
"...Why did you have to say all those hurtful things?" Candy said her eyes filling up with tears. "I would never say those things to you Vash.." She was really choked up about it, wasn't she? Reaching over I gathered the weeping woman in an embrace. I felt her arms which where at her sides slowly come up and around me, holding me close. Closing my eyes I felt better then I did before. Pulling away I looked at her once again. This time instead of tears and a pained expression her face was broke out in a smile once more as she wiped her eyes dry.
"I am truely sorry," I said reaching over and wiping one of the tears away from the side of her cheek. "I don't know what over came me."
"Fine," She said calmly then looking at me. "I will have the first dance with you at the wedding reception." Falling back off my seat I saw Candy cover her mouth as she began to giggle lightly. I stood up feeling my cheeks redden blinking at the woman who leaned back a bit in her seat. "What? You can't do that for me? Dance a little with me?"
"No it's not that," I stuttered. "..It's just I've never really danced. I'd be a horrible dancer, thats all." I sat back down realizing people where staring at me, Milly for one who was just giggling in the back seat. I shot her a glare that stated "I still don't like her that way, your wrong!" Milly just hummed happily ignore it.
"Just as long as you dance with me," Candy said almost in a whisper. I herd her though as I found myself smiling.
"Ok, even though we may look awful on the dance foor and Meryl chews us out for ruining the wedding reception because I trip and fall into people, I'll dance with you for the first dance." After that statment nothing else was said much between us as the bus headed toward December.
Milly stepped of the bus first yawning. We had gotten to the small city at around 1 pm at night. I stepped off with a sleeping Candy in my hands. Milly just chuckled and waved for me to follow her.
"You can stay at my house tonight, Candy we can put in the spare room and you can sleep on the couch," Milly said. "I don't have any other bed in the house, I am sorry Mr. Vash."
"It's ok," I said. "I'm just glad the war between Candy and I is over with. It would have been aquard in the wedding with her glaring at me all the time." She wallked up the steps of a fairly large house and pulled some keys from her pocket unlocking the door and opening it for me. Stepping in she flipped on the lights and quickly went to the living room cleaning things up around the couch. Then taking a few things with her she leaded me up the stairs. Once up the stairs she turned to the right opening a door and flipping on the light there, A bed sat near the farthest wall already made.
"I'll go get a pillow and blanket for you Mr. Vash," Milly said leaving me in the room to put Candy in the bed. Walking over I held her with one hand while I pulled the blankets down with the other and set her upon the bed. She imediatly turned over yawning as I pulled the blankets back up over her. Standing there I smiled to myself watching her long brown locks of hair cascade around her face as she slept so peacefully.
"...Mr. Vash.." Milly said breaking me from my look at her which caused her to giggle lightly as she held the pillow and blanket in her hands. "I'm sure your tired and tomorrow is going to be a long day for both of you so you should stop staring and Miss Candy and go to bed." Frowning I was about to object when she flipped the light off on me and went to her room. Sighing I grumbled to myself walking to the exit of the guest room and getting to the door. Before shutting it I glanced at her one last time and closed the door heading down the steps to my comfey bed which was the sofa in her livingroom. Laying on the couch I found it a tad to small for me, but then again there wasn't that wasn't the right size for me with me being so tall but I didn't mind having my legs hanging off the end as I tried to get comfertable. As I laid there my thoughts where of what happened today, with Candy and Milly talking about that crush. How could Milly of all people think I had a crush on Candy? Milly...well was Milly. I didn't understand why she said that. Closing my eyes I let my mind drift off finally as I felt myself falling asleep.
