[That! Was not at all the response Wolfwood was expecting Vash to come up with, fucking excuse him?

He is actually stunned numb for a moment by his words. Like, it's not just implying what he thinks it is, it's nearly Vash saying it fucking outright. And it actually takes a lot of self control for Wolfwood to not punch Vash in the god damn mouth.

How dare you. How dare you!!! After everything-]

Is that really what you think? That if we can't have sex, I'm just...gonna drop you? Are you serious? You realize that wasn't what I was askin' right?

Sex goes to heavy pettin', goes to touching, goes to kissin'- I have no fucking clue what's allowed because you won't tell me! I don't know if I can even hug you now, or hold your god damn hand. That's what I was askin'!

[He sucks in a sharp breath, looking away so he can scrub at his eyes with the heel of his hand. Fuck.]

Have you even talked to Livio about this? At all?

[Because he's part of this too, now. He's going to be just as affected, even if their relationship may not yet be as physical as he and Wolfwood's is.]
