I think Vash is very aware of his jealousy when he sees you flirting with someone else and feels genuinely bad about it.

Like, what claim does he have over you, right? You two aren't dating, and it's not like you two have acted on any feelings toward each other (him especially).

But still, he can't help but vie for your attention now. He'll get between you and that guy "on accident" just to ask you a question. Budge between you two while walking so that Vash is the one closest to you, not the new guy. You'll give him a weird look, and he feels like a jerk, but he can't help it.

Like he'll try to tone it down. My word does he try. But he's never been this romantically close to someone before, and these feelings, while he's seen them from others, are new to him, and he's not sure how to process them at first. He tells himself to be an adult, he's 150 years old for goodness' sake. But he feels like a schoolboy around you, all eager and desperate to have your eyes on him and only him.

Please reassure him in private that you're not going anywhere. Maybe you're aware of his feelings, maybe you aren't, but you can recognize the jealousy of a friend a mile away. Assure him he's your best friend, and no rando is going to get between you two. :)
