I will not make this look pretty later, don't believe me it's all a lie

====

INVENTORY:

-The Punisher: Wolfwood's cross gun, normally covered in wrappings.
INFO from the mods on use so I don't forget: The cross-gun will be able to fire regular bullets (regains of these can be handwaved; silvered bullets can be purchased in the bonus AC store) just fine, without any special nerfs. The laser feature will be usable a max of 3 times a month.

-4 Vials of his Drugs(tm)
Info from the mods on use so I don't forget: Wolfwood can start with up to 5 vials of his Lab Drugs. More of these can be regained for the price of a Small Item (a maximum of 5 at once), but they will not work on other player characters for obvious reasons. Their healing ability will also be slightly nerfed to not heal anything instantaneously, but rather over a few minutes.
3/7: All Vials have been used. Will need to purchase replacements if he wants to use them again.
???: Forgot to put the date here but he's purchased more Vials, one has been used to he has 4 currently.

-A carton of cigarettes, more can be purchased/handwaved

-A winter coat that Heimr bullied him into purchasing

-A matching pair of boots for the coat

[With us. That's the part that sticks with him the most, he thinks. That Vash isn't completely pushing himself out of this picture. He said it himself, it's not off the table...it just may not happen right away, if at all. That part doesn't bother Wolfwood- it's honestly not his business (until it is)- he's just glad that he's willing to talk about it, and be so open about it.

Hopefully Vash is okay with Wolfwood moving in closer with the intent to Hug Him, because he is. It does mean he has to let go of one of his hands, but.]

You're really somethin' else.

[He murmurs that into Vash's shoulder, holding him close.]

I'll...talk to 'im. I know things were kindof tense between us when we were all eating that chocolate, so.

[He wagers Vash would understand his meaning, there.]

I really ain't sure what he's thinkin' right now. I don't wanna push him into anything either, but...I'm pretty sure the thought is there.

[If anything, Vash practically swells forward to meet Wolfwood. His arms tuck low around him, wrapping around his waist. He pulls himself inward even as the other man steps forward. He isn't upset, he's just not going to pass up the chance for affection. Especially the kind of affection that might just prove to put Wolfwood's mind at ease as well.]

At least now you don't have this holding you back. [He pauses, then shakes his head.] Not that I think you think I'm holdin' you back. One less thing to worry about, I guess.

[He kisses in the hollow between Wolfwood's collar bone, then nuzzles there. The skin beneath his lips is warm and smells just as he'd expect it. It's home.]

You'll let me know how it ends up going, yeah?

[lupusxylem]

[Vash folds into his arms easily, like a perfectly fitting glove. It’s honestly silly they ever thought they couldn’t be together, for whatever arbitrary reason that might have been. He exhales slowly, lifting a hand to gently scrub his fingertips through the shorter hair at the nape of his neck.]

I promise. You’ll be the first to know.

[As if he’d be shouting the news to everyone in the Grove, or something.]

…and. Thank you, Vash. I don’t really have the words for it, but the fact you trust me like this means…a lot.

[The fact Vash would so openly seek Livio’s happiness like this means even more.]

[oleaeuropaea]

[Somewhere in the back of his mind, Vash feels almost giddy. Not because he feels content being bundled up like this (even if he does), but because he's already imagining Livio receiving the same attention. If anything will help open the former assassin up to gentle touch, it's a solid hug from one Nicholas D. Wolfwood.

Or so he hopes.

His head tilts backward, just enough so that he can stare up at Wolfwood with that entirely too sweet smile on his lips.]

I've always trusted you, remember? Never had a reason not to. [He pushes up on his toes to give him a quick kiss.] Almost always, at least. Don't know if I trust you not to ruin the soup at this point, though.

[lupusxylem]

[Wolfwood will return that kiss of course, his stubble no doubt tickling Vash as he does, and for just a brief moment he’s actually smiling back at him-

Then that smile turns into something a little more sarcastic, which is more like the Wolfwood everyone is used to.]

Hey. Campfire food is my specialty. What’s more campfire than fuckin’ soup, haah?

[oleaeuropaea]

You can still ruin campfire food if you're too busy ogling at men, Nicholas.

[Yes, Vash is fixing him with the most toothiest of grins. He flits away before Wolfwood can protest, going back to cutting the last of the vegetables. Unfortunately, this means the onion.]

[lupusxylem]

And whose fault is that, Mr. Stampede??

[Since Vash already pirouetted out of his grasp, all Wolfwood can do is scowl after him before he grabs a chunk of already chopped carrot and flicks it at his head. It’s going to get eaten by Angelina immediately, so no worries there.]

[oleaeuropaea]

Yours, for getting so distracted!

[He does squeak as the carrot collides with his head. He pouts as he gets to cutting, which is only made worse by the onion making him tear up. Look what you did, Wolfwood.]

[lupusxylem]

[The Punisher shakes his head with another low laugh as he turns back to his station, even though he’s still practically done. He’ll turn the heat up now that he isn’t super distracted from cooking. Last thing he needs to do is start making out with Vash and get his ass set on fire.

He works in silence for a time, though there’s a lot still rolling around in his head. Vash has given him a lot to think about.]

Guess this place ended up being good for something after all. I get you and Livio outta the deal.
