[Oh. Oh Wicked Witches. Even if the fire of Vash's cheeks weren't apparent under his hand, the way he almost blurts it out... the sudden way he stops. It's obvious. And like Vash, his mind is on the alcohol. Surely it's just two similar people, with their minds clouded by alcohol, who have both blamed themselves and been so touched-starved over the years that it's something akin to over-stimulation.

Yes, surely that.

Though he can't stop the soft huff to Vash putting himself down again. He opens his mouth to tell him he's not, that he's obviously blushing too- but before he can get words out, Lavender decides to take that moment to bark at them both, loudly. He is not happy when it is not about him. Plus, he may be hungry. Pure Vanilla lets out the softest bleat in surprise, pulling back as his ears flip around until he finds where his cakepup is, before exhaling hard.]


Oh... I completely lost track of the time. Forgive me, I will need to feed him and take him out on his walk.

[There's obvious reluctance as Pure Vanilla pulls back, his fingers trailing as he pulls his hands free. His head spins and he feels he should lay down, or take a cold shower. Or both. For a moment he scrubs his face, trying to wipe the embarrassment away, and get back on track to what they were doing. He will not think about Vash's hand on his. He will not.]

That was a good first attempt for dancing, as well! I must insist you come back again, and we can continue on.

[The tension is growing thick, Pure Vanilla can feel it like a weight on him. It's not a horrible feeling. The reluctance to be away, to not simply ask him to stay longer, maybe he'd like to walk Lavender with him. The lump in his throat makes him swallow a few times, and the nervous butterflies in his stomach make him want to turn and run into his bedroom.

It's the same feeling, all those years ago, when he first met White Lily Cookie.

With his hands free, he fiddles with his nails, picking at them lightly as he just sort of stands there, trying to sort through his thoughts and feelings. Lavender huffs, then throws his head back dramatically and howls, making Pure Vanilla shake himself lightly and laugh.]


You are not starving.

[Still, it's broken him out of his reverie and he throws a brilliant smile towards Vash.]

Of course, I will contact you later to set up something? And please do feel free to come back whenever you would like! My door is always open for you.

[Moving around, he pats around until he can find where Vash folded his coat and placed it aside, picking it up and bringing it over to him, and walk with him to the door, so Vash can get his shoes on as well.]

I... [And there, at the door, he falters a little.] I do hope I get to see you again?

[Oh. He heard that tumble, Vash. And Pure Vanilla had quickly bitten his bottom lip to keep from drawing more attention to it by fussing and asking if he was okay. Because he knows if he did, he'd never let Vash leave. Clearly the better solution would be to let him stay the night.

It takes a lot not to use Vash's coat to hide his own face.

Instead he waits as he listens to Vash get his boots on, then hands the jacket over when he straightens, and the silence after his question pulls a little on his heart. Until the answer comes and he can tell Vash isn't simply trying to placate him. Which he would be very well within his right to do, things had most certainly gotten out of hand a little.

But he can't stop the happy expression from blossoming.]


I'm glad. I truly wish to see you again as well.

[Opening the door, he will let Vash step out, before reaching out to take his hand to stop him. As the kids would say, fuck it. He'll scream about it later, but he steps in close, raising his free hand to touch Vash's chin, so he can know where to lean in and place a small kiss on his cheek, being absurdly careful not to get him with his horns any. It's just a gently brush, and a little closer to Vash's lips than he was aiming for but, he's blind. Sue him.

When he pulls back, he's back to blushing.]


I will see you later...

[And he tries not to slam the door in Vash's face but he does step back quickly to close it so he CAN run to the bedroom...]

[Vash opened the floodgates when asking about The Steel Samurai. You see, Maya has had this manga photocopied for years, and just recently even had to give Ianthe a run down on samurai.

A definitely photocopied but very attentively spiral-bound copy of what is clearly a Compiled volume of the series shows up at Vash's door one day. On top of that, she's included several illustrations with simplified depictions of Samurai armor and clothing to the best of her memory, made into diagrams where she has notes on the different parts of clothing. It includes a list of famous samurai, some of whom may very well have existed In Reality, but undoubtedly others who are from Maya's favorite samurai from home. There's lists of Samurai Movies as well— Seven Samurai among the 'real' ones, and Samurai Summer & Bushido in Blue among those exclusive to Maya's world.

There is also a simple illustration of what she remembers Japan to look like from a map, with a star over Tokyo, so that poor Vash has any reference for what the Neo-Edo the Steel Samurai is so dedicated to protecting is. There's also such notes as "a lot of our friends here are from this place" and some pictures of yokai enemies the steel samurai faces, as well as the definition of a "kaiju". Most of these notes are recycled from what she's sent to Ianthe and others, but they're quite clearly lovingly curated.]

[It's one of the best pictures Maya's ever seen. She should have made everyone take a selfie while they read.]

I can't wait either! So have fun and read fast (ノ0ヮ0)ノ*:・゚✧

[Someday Pure Vanilla will get it into Vash's head he can just walk in. Though... in this case, he is grateful for it, as he no longer has his minotaur hearing. Lavender immediately begins to bark his tiny head off at the knocking and Pure Vanilla beams from the kitchen, hurriedly placing the finishing touches on the doughnut holes. The air smells of cinnamon, pumpkin and sugar.]

Welcome home! I'll be out in a second!

[There! A quick move onto a proper serving tray, complete with some sweet tea in a kettle and some cups, and he's moving from kitchen to living room. Vash is excused if he notices the doughnuts first, and not the change in Pure Vanilla. The Minotaur is a Minotaur no more, wool replaced with soft cottony fur, horns with antennae and hooves with chitinous toenails.]

[Lavender circles Vash like a shark sensing blood in the water, tiny tail wagging and tiny tongue licking away at fingers that are undoing laces. And being ignored makes him whine, and he grabs one of Vash's boots to begin dragging it away. That'll teach you. Pure Vanilla meanwhile beams at the question, one set of hands holding the tray as he holds the others out - a little awkwardly as he's trying to get used to the muscle movement of the extra limbs - and does a little spin in place.]

Yes! Do you like it? I asked Mana to give me a month as a Faerie!

[There's color on his cheeks when he says that. He doesn't need to say the reason for it to be obvious why. Moving over to the coffee table, he places the tray down, being a little extra cautious as he does. His hands move around awkwardly as he reassures himself of his position before sitting on the couch, patting the spot beside him with one hand.]

[The laugh makes him beam. It doesn't take Minotaur hearing to note the nerves there. Though it's his own turn to huff a soft little nervous laugh to being called beautiful, his cheeks turning redder, and his lower hands smoothing down his clothes a little. At least until Vash sits and takes them, Pure Vanilla folding his fingers in with Vash's gently.

The hand on his face makes him smile and he leans into it a little, tilting his head to rest it there. It makes him sigh softly, the touch soft and warm.

His smile is a little shy.]


I did... I hope you don't mind I didn't discuss it with you before hand. I wished it to be a surprise, but I understand it might be a little forward of me.

[The vibrations his antennae can pick up is amazing in the way it adds a sense of vision, and he can't stop himself from leaning in a little closer, his antennae wiggling a little as they test the proverbial air.]

[At least Pure Vanilla still looks like himself. Just. Downier.

And Vash's not the only one whose thinking of their first meeting, as he feels the thumb grace across his antenna. He remembers (in that soft, dreamlike way) how Vash's felt in his hands, how his nails felt biting into them. He hopes someday they will both be able to replace those memories with better, kinder touches. Like this.]


I am. It comes with it's own fair share of issues, but my mind feels clearer without the every present weight of a temper. And I can sort of visual directions with the vibrations. It's not quite sight, but it's much more than what I had.

[The antenna Vash is touching bends a little to softly tap along the others hand in an inquisitive touch, leaving behind a little dusting of moth dust. And the soft comment makes him huff a laugh in amusement, his smile twisting gently, his wings fluttering.]

It seems I will be forever given forms that are pillowy in nature.

[This is going to age like milk when he finds out said husband - A.K.A. one of Hawkeye's best friends - is gone. Oh, well.]
