Vash and Wolfwood part 6

“Your such a meanie Wolfwood!”

“Well. . .your gullible and fell for it. . .Oh Spikey, don’t be like that. . .”

Vash was ready to burst into tears. “Just shut up. . .”

“Come on Vash. . .it was only a joke.”

“It wasn’t funny!”

“Yes it was. . .if you did that to me. . .you would think it was funny too. . .Now. . .I have something I need to go do. . .are you still mad at me?”

“Yes. . .and since when do you have stuff to do?”

“Well if you wanna stay here, we need money. . .I’m gonna get some so we don’t get thrown out, because I know you don’t have any. . .”

“What are you gonna do?”

He blushed and looked away. “It’s nothing you need to know about. . .”

“Is it something. . .bad?”

“Shut up. . .It’s none of your business. . .” He shoved past Vash and made his way out of the room.

“. . .What could he be doing?” Vash decided to follow him. They ended up on the worst part of town. Vash hid behind a building when he saw Wolfwood stop and lean against a wall.

Wolfwood watched everything in the general area. He noticed a very large man headed towards him.
“Ok Wolfwood. . .just remember your doing this for Vash, and it’ll all be fine. . .”

“You the one?” The man eyed him over.

“Yep. . .You ready?”

“Oh hell yeah!” The man practically dragged Wolfwood behind him as he left in the same direction he came from.

Vash watched in horror. “Wolfwood no. . .” He returned to the room to wait for him to return.

Much Later
Wolfwood walked through the door weakly, ready to collapse.

Vash ran and helped him onto the bed. “Wolfwood. . .Wolfwood, what’s wrong?”

“Spikey. . .I’m just tired. . .I had to work hard today. . .”

Vash flinched. He wanted to confront Wolfwood, but it would only make things worse. “It’s not right. Let me work too. . .I don’t like seeing you like this. . .”

“NO!” He snapped harshly. His eyes were wide with fear. “No. . .Spikey. . .I would never let you work. . .never. . .”

“Please calm down. . .please. . .” He stroked Wolfwood’s hair.

He shivered slightly. He felt his body go limp, before he fell into a deep, dreamless sleep. He awoke the next morning, and found Vash still asleep beside him. He leaned in and kissed his cheek softly. “I’m so sorry, Vash. . .forgive my sins. . .” He crawled out of the bed and ran out the door.
