Meanwhile... Maybe Francis was finally able to bring Arthur here.
I'm not sure, Arthur belives that they are in a magical mistery tour across de wonderful land of the lollypop.
He is so cute. Probably Francis is laughing and kissing and... enjoying the lollypop. I really hope no one sees them.
Probably Arthur is actually naked or something like this because... well, he is a Brit.
The issue is... the Gauls are lucky and since they are lucky... and Francis is Roderich's brother... by extensión, Arthur cannot put a stain in Roddie's file or family. So if they are naked, they are naked somewhere where no one will see them.
Ok, maybe he has some leopard undies?
Ohh, my god! Francis loves him. But that does not clarify things.
Francis has absolutely no problem with the idea of have sex with Arthur... somewhere.
Nooo.
It will probably be the first time for Francis this time. Yes, Francis and I, we are thinking about it and, well... he is young and it was not that easy back then. So... for sure he had kissed and fooled around but not to that extent.
They can't do it for the first time being on drugs!
Well maybe they won't but they kiss and kiss and kiss... and they will do it at some point in the future.
Maybe they won't notice.
Francis will know... will review himself from head to toe. Well, unless Arthur... Is the one that might be kind of hurt tomorrow...
UUUUUUGH. Don't ask me that things!
(Maybe they will do it on the Roderich's violin's bed)
Vash's bed!
If he likes to think that way...
Francis will hang the tie on the bedroom door.
He is so considerate...
And for sure nothing will happen to the violin unless we are talking about Arthur's... violin. Not that anything harmful will happen to it
Ah, for a moment I thougth that we are talking about the... perfectly curved Arthur's violin.
No, of course we are. But hopefully nothing harmful will happen to the perfectly curved violin.
Besides being very hot and dropping liquid.
Ugh! France! Go to the box!
What? No! It's my turn!
No!
Yes! It's bad enough that I have to be speaking in this weird language... I will not be sent to the box that easily.
So... to continue with the lovely images... maybe Arthur is the multiorgasmic one in that story.
Mon dieu, oui!
Or... maybe Francis and Roderich, who are the grandsons.
ohhhhhhhhhhhh but will... he be the one who tests it?
I don't know. We think that the gauls couldn't be so lucky. It could... make the universe explode or some other reasons that Arthur doesn't have time to invent yet.
Ok, ok... that's too lucky even for the gauls.
Thank you.
Ok, so Arthur it is. Jeez, you are going to enjoy yourself, my love. Francis smiles.
Nooo!
Of course he smiles. Although the first time is not going to be that awesome if it is he first time for both.
He is not going to... ANYTHING!
Probably it will be messy and not that organized...
Ugh
Don't ugh him! He always wants to be his first, right?
But, buuuut! Why are we still talking about it!
It's Arthur's fault.
Nooo.
Yes. But we think Arthur anyway will have a couple or three orgasms.
No!
Ok, four.
What the hell! We hate him! HATE! Forever and ever!
Naaah, of course not. You love him
so much it feels like hate.
Noo!
Yeeeeeeees, and we all know it
NOOOOOOOOOO
If it makes feel Arthur better, Francis loves him back very much (which is more than Vash can say at this moment, by the way)
(That's so cruel)
xoOXOox
Suddenly Gala went for Vash to dance and... Vash paralized, blushing.
Roderich laughed when he saw it and gave him a little and very fast kiss, wishing him a good luck in a wisper.
Vash completely lost all focus on Roderich's mother after the little kiss, looking at Roderich dreamingly, smiling with a blush, and letting Mrs. Edelstein drag him to the dance floor without any complaint.
(Do you see?)
(Well she is not Roderich, yes, but he will focus again in a minute)
(I mean... Roro doesn't hug him, but...)
(Yes! Of course he doesn't. It he is nice with him, and does weird thinks like kissing him. We know, we know, don't take Vash's complains too seriously. And he does one simple thing and has him eating from his hand.)
That's what Gala noticed again.
Vash was still looking towards Roderich's direction when they started to dance... or Gala, Vash did not move that much, stupified.
"Are you ok?"
"Oh!" Vash looked at her apparently surprised to even see her here. "I-I... I... sorry."
"Do you want to dance with Roro?"
"D-Dance with..." he opened his mouth, and then closed it, blushing. "No, of course not, he is a man."
"Yes, I know... but, anyways..."
Vash did not want to look at her in the eye, remembering how dangerous she was.
"I-I'm fine dancing with you."
"I know, but you seem more comfortable with him. You don't have anything to worry, I like you."
"I-I... well... he-he... Is my best friend in the world."
"I know, and I'm glad that you are."
"I-Im glad too" he looked at her in the eye for just a second and felt again that she... KNEW. He shivered.
"I mean, when I sended him here, to the University in another city, another country... far from home and his family... I was very worried, because he is very special and I didn't know if him was going to make some friends, but you are better than anything I expected" she explained thinking in Roderich being gay too, without knowing, not because he was a cold hearted nazi.
"He... he is good at making friends, I think... at least he is better than me at that" Vash blushed. "But I am glad you think I am good for him. I... I try to take care of him, really. I do my best to protect him"
"I'm sure... and sooner or later you will take his heart"
"W-What?" Vash blinked...
She just smiled
"B-But... but..." Vash hesitated... did she mean..? was she implying..? "what... exactly... I-I do... not. I... Do you think I..."
"Mjm?"
"What do you mean with his... heart?" he asked, whispering. He still was not really moving to dance.
"Oh, Vash..."
He blushed even more.
"Mrs. Edelstein... I-I-I'm really not that sick..."
"What?"
"I-I don't understand what you say about his heart, but I... I know that he is... he does not... he... is not sick."
"What do you mean with "sick"?"
"P-Please don't make me tell you, it is not contagious but I think you... well, I do not think you would like it."
"Why not?" she asked so desconsolate.
"B-Because I'm a man, that... is not like the rest of the men. I suspect you have already realized this..."
"I know that you are a man."
"No, but I'm not a normal man..."
"Why do you think that?"
"I have developed.. symptoms" Vash blushed.
"Symptons?"
"Symptoms of... an awful disease that Roderich... well, he is not aware of everything... if he were he would not talk to me either."
"Why?" She raised her eyebrows. Vash blushed and looked away from Mrs. Edelstein.
"I shouldn't be telling you all this, please don't tell Roderich. HE is my friend, above any other thing... and I... I can control this, I really can, it's just that he is sometimes a bit... he does not help me and he does not realize that, but..."
"What do you mean with he is not helping you?"
Vash blushed again thinking that he... actually did not want Roderich to change.
"He helps me... all he can, and I am grateful with him" he whispered and looked at her sideways again. To be honest he wanted to tell her, to tell someone, everything.
"Really?"
"Yes... but there are things that he does not know... and I suspect that you do know, but... you confuse me... why would you say... things about his heart?"
"Because I feel that way."
"But the way you say it, makes me think that it is possible, and I... I know it isn't. He would despise... me. We have a friend... I have another friend. Not like Roderich, but... another sort of a friend"
"Who?"
"A-Arthur. Well, that is not important. Roderich... found out that he is... well... also a different man, and he despised him!"
"Arthur... Is the Francis' one Arthur?"
Vash looked at her worryingly.
"Francis was so incredibly amazed by him."
"B-But... well... i-is Francis...?" Vash looked at her in the eye this time. "A-Are you aware of what we are talking about?"
"I don't know if he is in love, is a little early, but maybe he will be soon"
"B-But... they are both men!" Vash opened his mouth completely impressed.
"That's a minor detail."
"W-What?!" the declaration shocked him.
"Don't you think?"
"I-I-I... never thought someone would... think... that way!? But... that's bad, it's a sin!"
"Why?"
"Because... that's... well, its not natural. It's weird, and its not what should happen to people. I should like girls!"
"Mmmm... why?"
"Because that's how you form a family... and because it is sick to think of a man if you are a man, that's..." Vash paused, and looked at her in the eye.
"You could be a family with another man"
Vash breathed faster with that idea.
"No... No. Don't say that..." He whispered... because this was Roderich's mother. And her thoughts made him think... that it was truly possible. And that gave him hope.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable."
"I am trying not to.. But I can't" Vash closed his eyes and tried to hide his face in his hands.
"No... no, keep calm, I'm sorry" She hugged him instantly.
"Do you really not care?"
"Shhh, of course I don't care."
"But why? Even I care, and I am scared, and I don't want him to hate me... and I don't want to be this way, and he tries to help me but I can't... and I think it is because I really don't want to stop, and that scares me even more..."
"But... he is not going to hate you."
"Of course he is... he already thinks that I'm sick..." Vash tried with all his will to not start crying, but he was really scared right now, and she... was sweet and delicate and did not hate him at this moment, even if he had admitted this awful thing.
"He will change his mind at some point"
She was still hugging and caressing him
"Don't tell me that.. I am the one who is supposed to change and be... normal again, I'm trying"
"But... I think you don't have to change"
"D-do you? But... my father... and... my mother. And Roderich... no one likes freaks like me..." Vash cleaned his eyes trying to hide that he was actually crying.
"Maybe not, at the very begining, but... if they love you, they will want you to be happy."
"I would prefer to be... normal. Why can't I like a girl... like Roderich" Vash sobbed silently again.
"Does Roderich like a girl?"
"He's always saying that he will like my sister and that he likes girls... and that he is going to take one today to our room."
Gala looked for him, he was talking with Wallace and he couldn't be less interested on the girls of the bar.
"I don't want him to do any of that... and I can't control it! I believe that if he does it maybe my brain will... be forced to stop liking him."
"I'm not sure that he really does it in the end."
Vash cleaned his eyes again and she caressed his face.
"Are you OK?"
"I don't know... do you think Roderich..."
"Aha?"
"Do you really think it is possible that he..." Vash blushed.
"Yes" she ran a hand through his hair.
"Please do not lie to me... It's better the harsh reality than false hope.."
"Well, I don't know what's going to happen, but I expect that he could let himself to be able to love."
"B-But... he could love a girl, easily. That's what he wants" Vash whispered.
"Mmm... you want it too, and you don't do it."
"But... I don't understand, he would... he also would need to be... sick as I am to be able to... love me that way."
"Except because it's not exactly a sickness."
"He thinks it is a sickness... "
"Mmmm... Well, maybe it is, I think he wanted to study that... mental medicine because of this."
"Wh-Whaat? You are telling me he... he is... also as I am... and he is covering it?" Vash blinked in confusion, looking at her intently.
"Mmm... repressing more than covering, he has not noticed yet."
"How... is that possible?"
"I don't know"
"But how can't he realize that... I mean, is that the reason why we sleep..." Vash stopped and blushed.
"What?"
"He does things... nothing bad. He is a fantastic friend" Vash blushed even more.
"Like what?"
"L-Like... well... I am not sure I should tell you."
"Why not?"
"I don't know... don't junk bad of us, eade... it's just that he... my bed is used by another thing and we have to sleep..."
"Ah, because of the violin, I know. He wrote to me to tell me, because I was worried when the violin disappeared"
"Y-Yes. Oh.. he told you?"
"Yes"
"What did he tell you? That we... sleep on the same bed?"
"Do you? He said just that... he solved the situation with efficiency as always"
"Oh... I shouldn't have told you that. It's... just... nothing really bad."
"Please, be patient with him."
"I-I am. I really don't... mind it's just that... do you really think that he could at some point..."
"Aha?"
"Be... with me? Do you think could do something? I-I could... l-love him.
"I hope yes."
"Wh-What should I do Mrs. Edelstein?" Vash blushed deeply.
"Just be patient, Based on what I see, I can say that you are doing well."
"J-Just that? Shouldn't I say something or... well, he thinks that I'm sick. I also think that I'm sick a bit..."
"Mmmm... I think it's early to say something. I know that can be exasperating, but... you aren't sick."
"Yo-You really think so... really?""
"Yes!"
"I-I... why? Do you know more people like... me?"
"Yes... but... It's a secret" she winked. Vash raised his eyebrows.
"Who? Does he... lives well? How? Please let me know just... how? How can I be happy being like this?"
"Yes, lives well... a bit hidden, but nothing bad really happens"
"He hides.. where? How? Does he have a... partner?"
"Yes, but they say that are friends"
"That's... nice to hear." Vash smiled feeling a bit of hope.
"Do you think it?"
"It makes me think that I can be happy even if I never... get normal."
"I hope that" she smiled.
"I can... be patient with him. I really do. I-If I'm able at some point to... be happy, could you help me with my parents?"
"Of course! We have to arrange a dinner all together!"
"A-A dinner, with... oh,.. well that's... I don't think you... I mean my parents are not as..."
"What? They don't eat?"
"They eat, yes but... well, they are not so elegant."
"Ah, that doesn't matter! Maybe they can come at home in Christmas"
"Oh... really?!" that sounded almost as if he had a friend! A true friend! One that even invited him and his family for... Christmas! For sure his parents were not going to believe it. He smiled.
"Yes, ask them and write me to know."
"They are not going to believe me... if needed, could you please write them too?"
"Of course!"
"You are nice..."
"Thank you!"
"Nicer than most of the people" he smiled thinking that he should do something nice for her. "I promise you no one will hurt Roderich, I will take care of him always."
"I trust you."
I'm not sure if Vash has even tried to dance just a bit all this time.
Yes, she... managed him to do it.
But he nodded, feeling a bit better... or maybe a little weird. He had talked with someone, and someone that was understanding, and also someone that gave him hope with Roderich... and also someone who told him that liking men was not that bad.
All this time, since he had discovered his problems with Roderich, he was trying to convince himself he was sick and this was a weird... Phase. But right now, Roderich's mother had made him think that... maybe it wasn't a phase, maybe he was going to have to live with it and... maybe it was not that awful. It was a whole new world for him. And a scary world again.
Roderich was just... innocent about all of this while he is talking with the teacher and Scott.
Vash tried to return with them, Gala went with him.
