[There's a brief but terrifying moment in which Vash thinks Wolfwood might pull away. Sharing an emotional half-embrace was far different than a deliberate one. He loosens his grip to allow the other man to squirm away, already pushing down any welling affection. The growing regret for having pushed too hard is also choked back as well.
Thankfully, he doesn't go anywhere. With a little adjustment, they're both settled in an embrace that's far more than one shared between friends. Likewise, Vash's own heart starts to thud as the gravity of their position settles in, too late for anything to be done.
It's fine. He can do this. Keep calm.]
Consider it an open offer.
[It doesn't have to be that night, not when they're both already raw. Vash just knows that the playing field is uneven at the moment.]
We don't have to do anything, really. Can just sit here and call asleep for all I care.
[It's about them that Vash realizes what falling asleep will entail. Hed only just talked about their shared rests together, but that had been for the sake of watching over one another at their worst. They were both in good health now, capable of agreeing (or disagreeing) to their circumstances.
