Trigun, Wolfwood/Vash: betrayal - thirty pieces of silver.
Warning(s): Present tense. Sex (of the not so graphic kind). Some bracket abuse, but much milder than is my usual style. Self-edited.
Notes: I don't know if this is what you wanted, OP. I have no idea at all. And late because, again, I got sidetracked by far too many things last month D:
***
The problem with Vash has always been that, while he's got a great aim and can fight tooth and nail like any other guy out there, he's also a stupid, idealistic fool.
Wolfwood realises it yet again the moment Vash fails to kill one of the crazy fucks who's after them - no him - when, in fact, he could have very well just shot him in the head (a mercy kill, the sort that every kid could do). But he didn't, so they're both on the run now: Vash because it's part of his lifestyle and Wolfwood because, for some inane reason or the other, got hopelessly entangled in Vash's various encounters with the stupid and absurd.
His lungs hurt, and he feels dizzy from all the running; his back is fucking aching too, and irritation flares up in him when Vash - they've run so far now that they can finally, finally rest - looks at him and just smiles one of those stupid smiles (it's still not reaching his eyes, never his eyes) and says, "Fun, wasn't it?"
"Just hold your tongue, Vash." Wolfwood doesn't really have the time or patience to deal with that sort of guy. And yet, part of him agrees with Vash that all of this is pretty fun in its own way.
***
The more time Wolfwood spends with Vash, the more he realises that certain mannerisms of Vash's are … more than just annoying. Take, for example, the way that stupid idiot is always humming, dancing or singing in the morning.
"Can't you just quit that noise?" Wolfwood half roars, half says to Vash when he's - yet again - woken up by Vash's loud - and Wolfwood will admit to that - surprisingly decent rendition of a popular bar song.
Vash looks at him, puzzled. "But it's a beautiful morning, and the best way to greet a new day is by …,"Wolfwood can't believe it, but Vash really is dancing (not gracefully, mind you but like one of those drunken old men remembering their first love),"why don't you sing along, Wolfwood?"
Wolfwood rolls his eyes, pulls the bed sheets over his head and prays to whatever the hell is up there that some kind of rock will fall out of the sky and just land on Vash's head.
Nothing happens though. And so, he's forced to endure Vash's cheerful humming.
***
When it comes down to it, he really just thinks Vash is a fucking nutcase.
He'll flirt and say indecent things to women, who'll - in turn - punch him in the face or just huff and walk away in disgust. And yet, when he has the chance to have sex, Vash doesn't do it. It's strange and Wolfwood (he's a priest, yes, but he's not below fornicating every now and then) often wonders how it is that Vash can live with that kind of frustration. With all the fighting and running away, Wolfwood wonders how the man hasn't cracked yet.
And it's not like Vash is even ugly. No not all, Wolfwood thinks. In fact, Vash could probably have more than enough sex if he wanted to.
They're in the bedroom now, and Vash has just had a shower. He's not wearing a shirt and he's got a towel loosely wrapped around his shoulders. And Wolfwood can see - the room is bathed in light from the flickering bulb hanging above them - that Vash is lean and muscular. Most people would probably call him sexy. Even the scars -
"Is it because of the scars?"
"Huh?" Vash doesn't get it.
Wolfwood sighs. He really should learn how to ask better questions, but knows that - if he asked them too directly - Vash would just avoid the topic. "Don't you accept sexual favours because of your scars?"
Ah, he's uncomfortable and his eyes are blazing with something … incredibly sad. Wolfwood nearly feels sorry. Nearly. But then he doesn't because the scars are Vash's own doing; they are proof of Vash's useless idealism. Idealism that doesn't work because it won't save anyone in the end and only results in hurting Vash himself.
"Well," Vash laughs awkwardly, "they're not exactly pretty." He drapes the towel over a chair, and is about to switch the light off but Wolfwood walks right up to him.
"You know, I don't mind the scars."
"What do you -" But Vash never gets to finish because Wolfwood grabs him by his hand, and drags him to the bed, pushing him down. Vash opens his mouth to say something, but it's too late because Wolfwood is already kissing him, and sticking his tongue in.
And fuck, he thinks, it feels good.
Wolfwood doesn't know why he's doing this, but it doesn't matter. Maybe he's bored. Or just frustrated himself. Or he just wants to see how far he can push Vash before he snaps.
Vash doesn't kiss back at first, but when he does it's awkward and Wolfwood's eyes widen at the realisation that no man who kisses like this (tentatively and like some little maiden) has ever gotten past first stage.
Vash is a virgin. Wolfwood doesn't know whether it's hilarious or just plain sad.
***
Wolfwood blames loneliness and frustration for what he's currently doing with and to Vash.
Ever since that stupid night - that night where he just kissed him and Vash permitted it - Wolfwood can't get enough of that idiot.
Well, he's already fucking Vash (it's come this far already) and Vash, for all that he's tried to push him away (we shouldn't be doing this, Wolfwood and it won't end well) is pretty damn vocal and demanding -
"Please, ahhh - Wolfwood," he's mumbling, his eyes burning with need and face flushed as Wolfwood is thrusting in and out of him (he's so tight, so fucking tight and feels great, better than all the people Wolfwood has slept with up to this date).
Must be the long pent up sexual frustration, Wolfwood thinks as he drives into Vash again, feeling those strong hands gripping his shoulders and even stronger legs wrapped around his waist. He does it faster now, harder - knowing that Vash can take it, wants to take it even. He's a bit of masochist, after all.
"You like this, Vash?"
But Vash's just moaning now and gripping him harder (eyes closed and face flushed even more), and Wolfwood chuckles. He just got his answer right there.
***
Sometimes, when Wolfwood wakes up in the middle of the night (it's not only Vash who has nightmares, but him too), he thinks of leaving everything behind - Vash is too dangerous, too raw, too real.
Yes, the sex is great, but Wolfwood is slowly forgetting just what kind of man he is. He's the sort of man who's managed to survive by abiding to three simple rules.
Rule number one: Don't get too involved.
Rule number two: Leave when it gets too messy.
Rule number three: Always think of the money.
It would be easy for me, he thinks, to betray Vash.
He'd get more than thirty pieces of silver for it. He'd probably get enough to be able to quit this disgusting job, and be a real priest. The kids would be happy, he'd be happy, everyone would be happ-
But, as he looks at Vash's sleeping form (he looks innocent and unassuming like this), Wolfwood realises that he's already broken the first two rules and that he'll break the third one too.
Because being with Vash is worth more than all the silvers coins in this world.

no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 02:52 pm (UTC)Thank you)))
It was IC and Wolfwood's dilemma and death was a sad one(I even sobbed)
I'll go read some moar slash about them naoooo
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 07:57 pm (UTC)Since I really, really associate you with Code Geass, and I wasn't expecting anyone to go and read my forays into Trigun fic (something that happens rarely, though it's a precious, precious series for me).
Thank you for commenting <3 Trigun is a such a dead fandom, that it means a lot to me to see people commenting.
I'm glad to hear it was IC! It's a been a while since I have written for them.
Might I suggest some of the pieces here at springkink and my memories? I did save what I liked XD. Ah, I'll just give you a few links -- no HTML since Eljay is being a prat.
http://community.livejournal.com/springkink/1117732.html (a lovely piece, very good writing).
http://robofetus0.livejournal.com/96113.html Ah, it's Vash/Wolfwood, but the writing is love and it has very lovely dialogue <3.
I'd dig out more, but this is all I remember right now -- the unfortunate thing is there are more dead links than fic around D:
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 08:10 pm (UTC)Do dig up some more, please))) *puppy eyes*
I've had trouble finding some.
I used to adore Trigun and I still remember it with fondness. I mode on to other shows very soon, because I was in some kind of anime-watching marathon back then)))
I'm glad to have found a like-minded person in you yet again;)
*runs away to read those fics...*
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 09:04 pm (UTC)I'll see -- might take a while. Since I tend to re-read everything XD. The problem is that a lot of the good stuff was stored on websites, and -- well -- with the demise of Geocities a lot of sites for older fandoms just went *poof*.
I loved the anime, and then read the manga, but -- oddly -- found myself liking the anime a bit more. THOUGH the manga actually has more Wolfwood and Vash XD.
Thanks -- am glad to know.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 09:35 pm (UTC)For me it's the easiest way to keep track of the anime series I'd like to re-watch one day, but I've never actively read fanfics before CG, so I'm starting to search for things for my other fandoms only nowXD
Have you watched Saiunkoku Monotogari? Someone had suddenly brought it up in the discussion thread on the:P kink meme and I was really surprised.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 10:23 pm (UTC)I have read fics actively before CG, but I've been a member of a lot of fandoms and ... well, I blame Buffy for that. But I admit I read less fic than I write.
I just checked the ... summary AND I AM INTRIGUED. IT SOUNDS AWESOME. Why wasn't it brought to my attention before? XD
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 10:31 pm (UTC)I won't watch it now, but back then I was younger and greener*shame*
Berserk is so full of gore that it turn into a kink. I acidentally saw it on the TV and was intrigued. It has it's silly moments too, but don't they all?
I haven't read manga, though.
Kenshin, yes<333 Mai intro to the world of manga, haha
I should check out more CLAMP. Everybody talks about them, I have a solid idea of what to expect, but I still haven't gotten there. So, to me Suzaku is Suzaku, and it's Sayoran who would be Suzaku's clone and not vice versaXD screw the chronological orderXD
I haven't seen Buffy, only heard of it, again) I guess that's because I don't watch TV very often and we have different series in my parts...
I love reading; I dunno why I started writing and pornz of all thingsXd Blame the kink meme and my thirst for approval*eye roll*
Oh, you have to watch Saiunkoku, the Emperor is utterly adorable and the main heroine has SOME SPINE. She's awesome.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 10:59 pm (UTC)The manga is a masterpiece XD. But um, I'm biased. It happens to be my favourite manga, lol. But I really wouldn't advise you to read the manga unless ... well it's gorier than the anime. XD The anime ends at an odd point -- VERY ODD. It's good and loyal to the manga, even if they cut out a few rather important references to Gut's past.
Actually, I'm disappointed with Clamp these days. I think their older work (RG Veda, TB, X...) is better than their recent stuff. XDD. Don't talk about clones and Clamp. Tsubasa was so full of them that it still makes my poor head hurt D: But yes, I blame Clamp, among other things, for neck fetishes, eye fetishes, um ... my love for trainwreck pairings. D:
I don't watch much TV either. Buffy was one of the few things I watched. XD Though I'm getting into Doctor Who, and my friend is making me consider to watch some obscure vampire shows like Being Human.
I love reading too. But I am a bit in a crisis because I read all classics and now nead to re-evaluate what I actually LIKE (and not go back to reading Dickens or um, whatever I read).
I see no problem with writing porn, though it took me a LONG time to be able to write it and I stil have difficulty -- I think it's not really my forte XD I think the reason why my style is so odd and just odd is because of my odd tastes in literature /:
I WILL. I love heroines with actual spine. That's a rarity D:
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 11:55 pm (UTC)Hey, is it even okay to spam here? XD
I've been scarred for life by my native classics at high school. Meh. And there is almost no foreign literature in the program. AT ALL. Not necessary, haha, not even Shakespeare)
I, personally, like your style, whatever the term "style" encompasses) That is, if I like something I have trouble explaining why I like it. I just do. I had to force myself to came out of the shadows and start discussing things with people, but now it's turning out sort of fun...
no subject
Date: 2011-03-26 01:28 am (UTC)Ah, yes. I read the classics way before school. Which made me like it. Cause it's different when you're NOT forced to read something. (I'm going to be blasphemous and say that Shakespeare is not to be read, but much better watched during a live performance -- London theatres taught me that!)
Thank you <3. Well, in my case, brackets and semi-colons. And lots of weird words used. And other less flattering things that certain people have associated with it (like rotting gleefully). XD. It is fun to discuss things. I had to come out of the shadows too, though I used to be notorious in one of my fandoms for my reviews.
I admit I like leaving long comments on fics that I liked!
no subject
Date: 2011-04-09 09:01 pm (UTC)seriously, it's so hard to find new Trigun fics these days, especially ones this good...
Wolfwood contemplating whether to betray Vash and breaking his own rules for him was very IC by the way - meaning,
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease write moar ^0^!
late comment is late -- sorry!
Date: 2011-04-23 11:18 pm (UTC)True. Trigun is such a lovely series, but most of the fans seem to have dispersed ...
I definitely might! Trigun is one of my favourite fandoms <3
Re: late comment is late -- sorry!
Date: 2011-04-24 04:21 pm (UTC)actually I've written some fics for them myself, but since I lack a beta, I haven't posted anything yet... been do itrying to find a new beta via ff.net for months now, but to no results. since I'm no native speaker I never posted anything that hadn't been looked at before, but now I'm so fed up I might do it anyway - . -'
no subject
Date: 2011-07-04 02:34 am (UTC)I love how you touch on the "Wolfwood = Judas" theme towards the end, too. One thing I found interesting about the show was how such a loyal friend was forced to play the role of a betrayer. Anyways, thanks for the great read, and I'll be adding this to memories~
I have no problem with late comments <3
Date: 2011-07-11 04:36 pm (UTC)I think some of the best fics I found were completely by accident, so <33. Trigun is such a pet fandom of mine ♥ because I feel Vash and Wolfwood, especially Wolfwood, lend themselves so well to serious yet funny fic with lots of snappy dialogue (well, I don't quite excel at those, but other fic writers in this fandom do!).
True, I found that very interesting too. Amongst a lot of things, like Vash's earnest desire to save people, Wolfwood's cynicism and ... I really miss watching the show, I admit.
Re: I have no problem with late comments <3
Date: 2011-07-14 11:09 pm (UTC)Trigun is really the only fandom I've ever been in. <3 I actually started watching the show again after being away for five years and fell in love with the characters all over again (although in addition to shipping V/M I now adore V/Mi and W/V -- my crack and yaoi OTPs, respectively xD).
Wolfwood and Vash really do have a great rapport. I think that's why so many of my favorite fics involve those two, whether in a friendship or romantic context.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-20 03:40 am (UTC)Trigun has always been my first favorite anime and I only wish I'd found the fandom and the fanfic way back when because I know I've missed so much. Finding any fic is hard, finding something so well done, so IC and so touching and NEW is nearly impossible! With the new movie coming out in a week I've been rewatching the old animes and I've been craving some Vash/Wolfwood BAD. Thanks so much for sharing this awesome bit of fic :-D
I seriously hope the movie brings some other old lovers of this anime back out. It would be nice to enjoy more new things. I'm pretty sure I may have to start writing these boys soon too. LOL
Thanks again. This was really great and I'm totally going to be looking up your other fic now. :-D
no subject
Date: 2011-10-01 09:51 am (UTC)(I really need to stop being lazy and install the 'message me when I get a comment' feature.)
Anyhow, thanks so much. Trigun is one of my favourite fandoms -- a pet fandom, if you like, and I'm so happy that people read my fics. It's really encouraging, especially when you get lovely comments like this!
Thanks a lot <3
(And do write! More fic is never bad!)
