[Vash's eyes go a little wide. He hasn't been ashamed of his love, nor has Livio spurned it. But never has he said it back. It's not ever been an issue for Vash, but now that he's hearing it.

Well. Looks like it's his turn to be the crybaby, isn't it?]

I love you too, Livio. You know I do.

[He leans forward, pressing their foreheads together. It's just a precursor, though. Once Livio seems good and ready, Vash steals one kiss, then two, then three.]

I love you so much. Never want you to come to harm, especially not because of me. You might be big, and you might recover fast, but you still hurt. And that's the last thing I want to see you go through.
