"C-Can I hold your hand?" Vash asked.
"Why not?"
The swiss went after his hand and squeezed it. Even if he had been excited a few minutes ago, he now was quite cold and sweaty.
Roderich protested a little, but let him do. Vash turned around and hugged him. He let him do and sighed.
"I know I am acting a bit crazy, Roderich..." Vash whispered to him. "I am sorry... "
Pat, pat on his back.
"What did you write on your notes?"
"Your response."
"Maybe we should force me to continue working, I want the experiment to be a success and you to have the complete results."
"You ask for it because you want to come?"
"Oh my god..." he whispered squeezing his eyes shut and blushing madly in just one instant.
Roderich hugged him.
"Roderich..." he protested completely, absolutely, and totally ashamed, thinking that probably, subconsciously, that was exactly what he was trying to do... but he had not realized it yet!
"What?"
"Don't say those things!"
"But it's OK, it's normal."
"It's not normal that you know that! You see? You know everything about me, even that my balls hurt because I do want to come!"
"And what do you want?"
"I-I want to... Maybe I should go to the bathroom."
"Ok..." the austrian let him go from the hug.
"Ohh... " he sounded soooo disappointed.
"What?"
Vash could not say him that he preferred to be tortured as part of the experiment as long as it was to be intimate and with him than to do this by himself.
"I-I-I..." this was so frustrating. "Ok... £ will go to the stupid bathroom."
"Vash..."
"What!?"
"What do you want?"
"I want to finish what we were doing."
"Where?"
"Here... with you" that was.. almost a whisper.
Roderich hugged him again. Vash relaxed again, closing his eyes and hiding on Roderich's neck.
"You really want to help me."
"Of course I want to help you" the blonde said. Also wanted to strangle him, because even now that he even confessed that he wanted to do this with him... he kept thinking on the experiment. However it was Roderich was hugging him that was better than being in the bathroom.
"Thank you" little kiss on the lips.
Ok, Vash forgot everything with that little kiss. No, really, he doesn't even know where the hell is he...
Is a little superficial kiss
Yes, yes... we all know it is an inocent little superficial kiss, but anyway... the kiss just took him by surprise and he is only there smiling a bit.
Then, Roderich caressed his face a little. Vash closed his eyes and followed the caress.
"I'm sorry, I'm not uncomfortable because of you"
"Aren't you?" the swiss asked, softly.
"Not because of you specifically"
"It's because I am a man, I know... I just... I imagined that when this happened in my life, it will happen along with someone else. And if I was nervous, someone else would be nervous with me.. or scared, or ashamed"
"Mmm... not exactly, it's because you are another person."
"Person... wh-what... about it?"
"I'm ashamed."
"Of what? You are good looking and clever and as you've said this is something that happens to everyone. And I am not everyone."
"Of that thing, isn't easy."
"I know it is not easy, trust me... I... I... no one knows it better than me."
"I know... I know you know."
"But that does not make things less.. difficult" Vash touched Roderich's chest.
"Doesn't it?"
"No, not really... what is happening with me is the difficult part, and the weird part, and the uncomfortable part."
"Why did you say that?"
"Said what?"
"That about the difficult part."
"B-Because it is difficult!"
"But it is too."
"I know. It is difficult, in general. My disease is the problem here!"
"Well, yes."
"A-At some point... you will have to... be like that with another person, you know?"
"Yes..."
"Will you be ashamed then?"
"Maybe I would prefer that the person were you."
"'M-m-Me?"
"Because you know me already."
"And I'm your best friend..."
"Yes"
"And I've seen you naked."
"Well, yes..."
"And I'll be nice."
"But..."
"What?"
"You are a man, and also my best friend."
"Aha... A-And do you think that... doesn't allow me to... I mean... you are helping me too."
"It doesn't allow you to be OK"
"No, but... if You help me, why can't I help you?"
"Because I don't need help"
Vash caressed Roderich's chest just a bit and smiled.
"What?"
"I guess I would like you to need my help... then I wouldn't feel that I owe you. For helping me."
"But you help me in a lot of other things."
"Do I? Nothing as intimate and shameful..."
"Well... you help me to study, or to wake up early, or to carry my books. Or to hide my violin and my play sessions"
"Well you are my best friend, that has not changed at all even if I... am sick"
Roderich smiled. Vash touched softly Roderich's forehead with his own and the austrian closed his eyes.
"We are going to be alright... and happy"
and tomorrow you will be falling asleep everywhere, said a small voice inside his head.
"Yes, we will" Roderich answered.
"How is my heart sounding?"
"A little accelerated, as every time you know that I'm hearing"
And every time you are so close to me I can smell your soap. Vash thought.
"See, you even know the sound of my heart... you know me inside out. I want to know you too"
"That is because I pay attention to you" Roderich smiled.
"I pay attention to you too... and I know a lot of things about you, more than you know! But still, I don't know... other things. And I want to know EVERYTHING"
"More than I know?"
"I mean I know more things that you know I know, which does not mean... "
"Like what?"
"I know all your smells..." yes, it's creepy.
"My... what?"
"Your smells. You smell differently in the morning than in the afternoon, for example."
"Why are you smelling me?"
"Because... well, you smell" And I recognize it.
"I-I... smell?"
"Of course."
He frowed and... smelled himself from the armpit because... it was a litte strange and... disgusting.
"No, you don't smell bad..."
"You said I smell!"
"But you don't smell bad, you smell... good. As you can hear me, I can smell you."
"You can smell everything? As a dog?"
"Not... as a dog. Ok, maybe not like you but..."
"So... you smell me deliberately."
"Well... yes. Because you are you."
"What? What does it means?"
"Why do you hear my heart?"
"Because I hear almost everything."
"I smell a lot of things and remember the important ones."
"Don't tell people."
"What?"
"It's weird."
"Oh... well, it is useful for me, I could remember a lot of things with your smell."
"Remeber..."
"Yes, for example, how you smelled the day I met you... " I swear he is not that weird.
"How?"
"You smelled... sweet and a bit... of sweat, yes. Because you were nervous."
"That's very very weird."
"It is not!"
"Yes."
"Why? I just can identify your smell, it's a scientific thing."
"No, you sound as a creepy little stalker, who comes and buries his nose in my... clothes any time he has the opportunity."
Vash blushed again because... he did that lately, every time he had the chance.
"O-Oh... a creepy little stalker."
"Yes. Don't do it. Or at least, don't talk about it."
"I'm sorry..." Vash whispered again.
"It's OK, you are bad with the normal people conventionalisms."
"I just have a good olfactory memory... and your smell..."
"Stop, Vash" Roderich smiled and caresed his head anyways.
"Ok, ok. No talking about it"
"You get it."
Vash raised a hand and caressed Roderich's hair, softly. That made him relax and close his eyes.
"You have the most perfect hair... " he whispered, closing his eyes too.
Roderich got a little closer. Vash moved himself closer to to allow Roderich to be more comfortable.
"Do you like this?" he asked massaging his scalp, softly.
Roderich nodded with the eyes closed and passe an arm arround his waist.
"I will fall in love" the austrian wishpered, instead of fall sleep, because... well, he was almost asleep.
Vash froze for a second, but one instant later he relaxed completely and even smiled a bit, getting hope from his words.
"Please do" he kissed him on the cheek.
"Mmm..." he simled a little without answering.
"I love you" Vash moved his lips without saying anything, enjoying this moment a bit before falling asleep.
You little creepy stalker.
Shut up! He is not THAT creepy
Isn't he?
No, he is just a bit creepy. But hearing someone's heart is as creepy.
It's not the same.
It's somehow the same! Just with a different sense.
No, because Roderich can hear everything. So, he isn't doing it with perfidy.
Perfidy! Vash isn't being evil either.
He just keeps Roderich's smells on his memory.
He is being perfectly evil.
D-Do you really think so? *Vash even surprised*
We can see his little horns and his tail.
Nooo, the tail noooo.
The vash's tail.
Ahh, you are right, we were talking about Vash and his evil self
Yes.
But he is not trying to be evil...
Anyways, that isn't a matter of try
But he is not being evil! He hugs Roderich and kisses him.
Ok, ok... we give up
Is he too sweet?
Yes. Too sweet for us. Too sweet to fight with him.
