Disclaimer: I do not own Trigun….

A/n: not as long as the last chapter but… it'll have to do for now.

She slumped against the door of the home she shared with her long time best friend, her true love and his twin brother. She stood there watching the suns climb higher. This week she had the late night/early morning shift. It was starting to drive her crazy since she'd rather be at home when the sun sets… but they need the money and it wouldn't be fair for the three of them to be freeloading off of Millie's hard earned money.

"Whoa!" She felt the door behind her open and she looked up at Millie's innocent face.

"Sorry Meryl, I didn't know you were there…"

"It's okay… I'm just a little beat…" She said.

"Well, Mr. Vash is cleaning the bathroom in your right now and Mr. Knives it cleaning the kitchen although he won't stop glaring at me or Mr. Vash."

"Enjoy you day at work…" Meryl cut the girl off. She'd babble if you let her.

"Okay, see you later Meryl!!" Millie chimed stepping of Meryl who was still lying in the doorway.

"Stupid, spider…" She heard Knives mutter. "Move so I can mop the floor…" He said in a mean tone, which lost the authority when she saw the rubber gloves on his hands and the mop and bucket at his feet, but said nothing. She pulled herself to her feet and glared at him… but the glare lost its potency when she yawned.

"I'll get you when I wake up…" She said simply before walking into her bedroom. The short conversation with Millie was forgotten as she quickly stripped herself of her shoes and began messaging her aching feet. She was about to flop backwards but she reminded herself to shower first then sleep. She quickly stripped herself of the uniform tossing it into a pile of clothes to be washed. She grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body to walk to the bathroom.

'Boom… Cha cha… Boom.' The music ran through his ears as he scrubbed the floor underneath the sink. 'Pop' The bubble gun he had been chewing popped. He had gotten up bright and early so he could plead with Knives to help him clean up the house while Meryl rested and Millie worked. Knives refused to do so but after Vash started singing 'I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves…' Knives agreed only to just to shut Vash up. 'Cha boom… Boom… Cha… ow! Ow! Boop boop, Chic boom!' He continued bopping to the beat while chewing his gum.

Honestly, Vash had been doing all he could to keep busy only to keep from allowing his mind to dwell on the feel of her body on his. He always knew he had a thing for pretty girls and though he'd never admit it aloud he had always thought she was pretty… just bitchy. But after finding out who he truly was, the sixty billion double-dollar man; she had lightened up after a while. That's what really drew him towards her. Of course he wouldn't have dreamed that she cared about him, last he knew she thought he was an idiotic tall goof who just had a great streak of luck, but after last week at the cliff…

Bonk!

"Ow!" He yelled holding his head. He had managed to hit it on the underside of the sink and it hurt! "OWIE!!!" He yelled rolling about on the floor holding the knot that was starting to form. He went to sit up bumping his head on the sink once more sending the bar of soap on it to the floor. He stood up jumping up and down rubbing the second knot that started to form. He then stopped completely and then began rub it before wiping away his tears. "Just when I need someone to kiss my injuries, there is no one." He pouted. Just then the bathroom door swung open and he froze completely. There in front of him was Meryl… The woman who had pronounced loved to him only a week ago. She was the woman who made his body tremble with desire.

"Oops, silly me…" She held her head now wide awake. "Millie did tell me you were in here cleaning…" She said.

"No, no… you can go ahead and take your bath you need it after a long night of work." He said picking up his rag but stopped when he noticed she was staring at him while sucking on her lower lip.

"You can finish cleaning…" She said taking one step backwards. "I'll just take a bath after I wake up from my nap." She said staring into his green eyes.

"Why not bathe now? I just changed your bed sheets…" He said staring at her. Now it finally sunk in that the female was standing in front of him in a towel only. His eyebrow quirked when he thought about what the towel was concealing… He felt his breaths coming out short and shallow as he attempted to stay planted in the real world where he had to leave the bathroom so she could bath. 'Rubbing soap all over her soft lush, pale skin, over her well rounded breast…'

"Vash…" The sound of his name brought him back to reality. He wanted to move, he had to move, but he couldn't. Before he could even muster the energy to move he soon found her white towel in a sudden heap on the floor. His green eyes widened as his eyes took in what had been revealed to him…

"M-Meryl…"

"It is what you wanted to see right?" She asked softly before she closed the bathroom door. He forced himself to stare at her face as he made a pitiful attempt to change his thoughts by blowing another bubble only to have one of her delicate digits pop it while locking her beautiful grey eyes with his green ones. He felt his throat tighten as he tried to swallow. "Am I right Vash?" She asked taking a few steps towards him before holding a finger to his lips. He let the slender digit slide into his mouth as she removed the pink bubble gum from his mouth. "It would only be a distraction…" She whispered. He couldn't help his body to keep from trembling especially when her hands moved to trace the contours of his body. He practically collapsed when her fingers brushed over his most sensitive area. "You like that?" He couldn't form the words to answer… "Vash?" Her voice took on the form of confusion and he blinked once… twice… a third time and there Meryl was in the doorway still with her towel covering her. "Vash are you okay?"

"Huh, yeah! Yeah!!" He waved his hands in front of his body while trying to conceal the fact her was trying to conceal a certain something in his pants. "You take your bath and I'll go clean up somewhere else!!!" He picked up all his cleaning supplies and hurried out of the room.

He ran outside into the kitchen where Knives had just finished mopping and he fell on his back. The pain had been nullified seeing how his brain had been elsewhere.

"Moron…" Knives muttered stepping onto the floor realizing he left his rag on the other side of the kitchen. One he stepped on the floor he landed right beside knives.

"Now who's the moron…?"

"I will slice your throat in your sleep…" Knives' voice remained an angry cold.

"You promised no more killing people…"

"You're not a person…" Vash sighed as Knives started one of his 'I hate all humans' speeches.

"That was odd…" Meryl said as the tub filled with water to the desired level. She dropped her white towel on the floor this time and climbed into the tub while leaning her head on the back of it to stare up at the ceiling. "His eyes seemed to go through me… Like he was off in another world. Then he couldn't even look at me after and ran away…" She sighed closing her eyes a bit as she thought about his beautiful aqua eyes.

"Meryl…" Vash poked his head into the bathroom. "Dinner's ready…" He looked at her and her eyes fluttered open. "Meryl?" He couldn't help but ask… he had his hand over his eyes. She watched him slide his fingers open to look around the bathroom. He then spotted Meryl in the tub and stood to close the door only to slam his fingers in the door. He yelled in pain and Meryl quickly stepped out of the tub as the cool air hit her body.

"Vash, are you okay?" She opened the door. She turned on the cold water and placed his fingers under the water. "Vash, are you okay??" She asked as he began to twitch.

"THEY HURT!!!!" he couldn't help but yell. His twitching all together stopped when she lifted his hands and kissed all the fingers that pulsated with pain. He just gave her this incredulous stare as a blush quickly crept on his face. He was finally aware of the fact she was indeed naked. She looked at him until she felt the chill of the air against her wet skin once more. She said nothing and slowly reached her hand out for her towel. "Don't…" He said softly. "Let me admire you some more." He whispered almost inaudibly. She turned to him with a blush on her face, she felt so exposed, so embarrassed, and so turned on.

Her eyes watched his as his gaze swept smoothly over every nook and cranny of her body. It was then she noticed small things I n his eyes began to change, they no longer held the bright light to them but they began to darken to a deep green. His breathing began to become shallow and quick… even more noticeable was the real proof of his admiration in his pants… She practically jumped when he reached out his real arm to touch her waist.

"So beautiful…" He whispered placing a gentle kiss at the apple of her throat. She shuddered at his false arm traced the curves of her body. It was a shudder part passion, part fear. Wouldn't you feel a bit uneasy when you think about the gun that arm concealed? But all thoughts of that quickly vanished once he lifted her to seat her in his lap pushing up against his arousal.

"Where's Millie?" She lost all will and fumbled with the buttons on his shirt.

"Not back from work yet?"

"And what about Knives??" She asked before her eyes fluttered open and she realized she had only been fantasizing. "What about Knives?" She asked again stepping out of the tub. "When will I be able to do more than fantasize, Vash??"
