Sworn Friend

[ Vash was rather hard-to-find for the duration of the week before Valentines' Day. He kept a very low profile, acting like normal besides that, like he hadn't just remembered marrying...Ritsu. Ritsu deserved better than a scarred-up, outlawed, non-human, science-project-gone-wrong like himself. He...also probably deserved a gay dude, too. Assuming

[Was really just going about his own business when the hug happens. Which scares the crap out of him.]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M SO SORRY WHATEVER I'VE DONE THIS TIME I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU PLEASE FORGIVE MEEEEEE!

[love_and_donuts]

*sorry man. still hugging.*

Ritsu. You remembered that we got married, right?

[trouser_chimp]

[sorry, man. still screaming.]

I'M SORRY THAT WE GOT MARRIED! I'M SORRY THAT I WAS YOUR WIFE... OR HUSBAND... OR WHOEVER THAT'S DONE! I'M SORRY THAT MY MERE PRESENCE BEING HERE IS SO TERRIBLE THAT THEY GAVE YOU A FALSE MEMORY OF BEING ATTACHED TO THE HORRIBLE FATE THAT IS MY LIFE! I'M SORRY THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT BURDEN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIIIIIIIIIIIFE!

*OWOWOWOWOWOWOW EARDRUMS IMPACTING BUT STILL HUGGING OH MY GOD*

Hkk--

I'd never call it a burden, seeing someone smile as happily as you did!!

I mean, fake aside, you've got nothing to be ashamed of, Ritsu! If anything, you're the one who deserves someone better than a lost cause like me!

[blinkblink.]

Deserves better...? Not, surely not I'm the lowest of the low, worst of the worst! It is you who will certainly find a deserving and loving companion!

*pulls away from the hug to show him a slightly goofy, slightly pitiful grin* Man, I really hope I could.

Listen, though, even though those memories were fake, I just wanted to make sure you weren't feeling sad about it, and, you know...I wanted to show you how much I really like you, Ritsu!

IN AN ENTIRELY PLATONIC AND HETEROSEXUAL WAY, MIND YOU. *ADDS ON REAL FAST*

Oh, Vash... You are truly a saint among mere mortals... I could never deserve these kind words, but I thank you for them. It was an honor to e married to you, even if it was only an illusion.

[love_and_donuts]

That's totally my line, Ritsu!! XD *gives Ritsu a few friendly pats on the back* Now that we don't have some forgotten past between us to worry about, I feel like I should get to know you better now! All I know about you is that you have an unconventional taste in clothing.

[trouser_chimp]

Are you certain? The more I tell people, the more of a burden I become to them. You're probably better off pretending I don't even exist.

[love_and_donuts]

...Have you ever thought that maybe people like having that kind of burden?

[trouser_chimp]

... I don't understand.

[love_and_donuts]

It's nice to have people that you worry about...or something like that. Being friends can be a real pain in the neck if someone upsets the other person, but that's just what it's all about! Dealing with those problems, and rising above~

[trouser_chimp]

... You truly are an inspiration, Vash.

[love_and_donuts]

Eh? No! Oh, go on. XD; *BLUSH*

Well, I'm just sayin', let me be the one to decide if I wanna be friends with ya, all right? 8) I know I probably gave a bad impression by hiding all week, but that was just because I was so confused by those memories. I feel a lot better now that we know what was going on.

[trouser_chimp]

I'm sorry! I didn't to override your decision and control your movements! I was just being terrible selfish, as always!
