"Come on, let's eat and sleep."
Roderich saw the food. Vash unwrapped his bread and started eating it.
"I love cheese... and miss my mother's" he confesses.
"Why don't you ask to your sister for some?"
"I should... Although I don't want to worry them"
"Probably I could ask her"
"You are not coming any closer to her!"
He laughed a little anyways.
"I don't understand the problem"
"The problem is that my little sister is not for you to marry"
"Why not?"
"Because... no! She needs a... different man!"
"What kind of man?"
"A perfect one."
"You won't find one."
"I will!"
"No, because that man doesn't exist."
"I hope he does."
"Why you think that I'm not perfect?"
"N-No... You are not perfect... For her"
"Why not?"
"I told you all the things you don't do right before."
Roderich rolled his eyes.
"Although there is one thing that you do well"
"What?"
"You are my friend."
"Jum... that's no so much."
"And you play the violin."
"Nothing more?"
"You are organized and clean"
He smiled a little.
"And easy to talk to sometimes... And very clever."
"OK, maybe she isn't beautiful enough then."
"EXCUSE ME?!"
"If I'm not perfect enough, she isn't beautiful enough" Roderich shrugged.
"I was telling you you were goddamn clever!"
"Yes, you said it" He smiled a little again.
"Well that's more than enough! Shut up you stupid man and let's go to sleep!"
"But you still thinking that I'm not the right for your little sister" Roderich moved a little in the bed to leave space for Vash. "And that maybe makes me lose my interest on her, because she isn't really so perfect."
"But she is, how can you say that without knowing her"
"Because anyways I don't have a chance, so why?"
"Well, she is a person!"
"But you forbiden her to me."
"Yes, because she is a small girl, but... But!"
"What?" he smiled.
"I don't know, ok? Don't be a pervert with her."
"You want me to be interested on her, but you don't like the idea."
"I don't like you but you cannot say she is not perfect. You have to want her but never have it" he approached the bed to the side Roderich left him.
"Don't you see? That's cruel"
"It is not cruel, don't exaggerate!"
"Of course it is. What happen if I fall in love with her?"
"Ugh, you can't fall in love with her!"
"Do you see?"
"Shut up!" He blushed because he was being irrational and he knew it. Roderich laughed a little. "Don't laugh, it's just... ugh!"
"Yes, you are ugh"
"Me?"
"Yes" He looked at him in the eyes
"Why?
"Your way of thinking"
"You think it's... ugh?"
"Yes"
"B-But... well. I'm just trying to protect her, I don't mind if you find myself ugh or not."
"You don't care about anything of anyone, that's why you don't have friends" The austrian boy gived the back to Vash in the bed.
"What? I do care..."
"What do you care?"
"I mean... what do you mean that I don't care? Because I told you that you were not perfect for her?"
"What about my feelings?"
"If I care about your... feelings?
"No, I say that you don't do it."
"But that is not true, I... I didn't mean to offend you." Vash sighed looking at the back of his room mate.
"No, but that's not the important part."
"What's the important part?
"You said it without thinking if it is offensive or not"
"I..." Vash hesitated for a second. "Yes, probably I did, though I believe we all do that, all the time. You also have said awful things without thinking if I would be offended or not."
"Like what?" Roderich turned again to look at him.
"You keep saying that I am weird."
"Because you need to hear it."
"Why? I mean, I could think that you also need to hear that you... ok, can we please leave away the issue with my little sister? You don't have a little sister, you don't get the issue."
"You migth stop worrying about her"
"I get it, ok? Probably the things that I find awful for you to say are true and a few things that I need to hear. I'm weird and I have a disability to function around other people. And I also have a soft spot with my sister and I don't want anyone around her, and I was just being mean to you so you didn't get close to her. "
"Aha?"
"However I have said also a few things that you probably need to hear, like... well, it is ALSO weird to be displaced form my bed so your violin can sleep on it."
Roderich bowed his head and smiled a little.
"Or the thing of getting lost everywhere, we have to do something about that, is worrying. I mean, I don't mean it bad, I do not want to hurt your feelings or anything, I just, well... I probably I am weird, but you should not make fun of me for that because you are weird too."
"I'm not making fun of you. I sincerely thank you for let my violin sleep on your bed" He answered, raising a hand and putting his hair behind his ear.
Vash blushed smiling a little and letting him touch him. No one usually touched him, not even his mother. He closed his eyes even enjoying the movement a bit.
"I sincerely thank you for being my friend."
Roderich smiled a little, letting his hand on Vash's check. Vash relaxed completely, not thinking of anything.
When he noticed, stroked his cheek a little with his thumb. Vash moved his head following the caress.
Roderich raised his eyebrows and made a long stroke and then another one.
The blond just relaxed even more, getting goosebumps in the cheek but not even noticing. It was a nice feeling, even if an unknown one.
"Do you like to be touched?" Roderich didn't stop.
"Not usually..." Vash whispered. Although he had to admit this was absolutely... Fantastic. He liked that Roderich touched him. Very, VERY much.
"You don't seem like that kind of person."
"I am not. My mother is not... Not even my sister."
"I used to do this to my little brother when he was criying or afraid..."
"It's nice"
Roderich smiled, and continued doing in silence.
"If you keep doing this, I'll end falling asleep" Vash confessed before... Falling asleep.
"Mmmm..." Roderich answered, falling asleep too, with the hand.
Not even fifteen minutes later Vash got closer to the brown haired boy... Following the warmth of his body.
