Dreams (Vash X Meryl)

10ft Vash the Stampede

4'11 Meryl

Meryl opened her eyes with a start. One moment she was in bed with her husband, buried into his side and drifting off peacefully and the next she was in the palm of his hand.

Yeah, you heard right. Meryl Stryfe, a disaster investigator for the Bernardeli Insurance Society was married to Vash the Stampede, the one and only Humanoid Typhoon himself. And she has been for the past 20 years.

Soon after he returned to her with his brother, he was able to tell the world what he was and that's when he started.... Changing...

He got much taller, faster, stronger and his eyes glowed permanently. He was still scarred to hell and back, but he was now almost double his original height.

But at this time, right now, he was massive. Or was she tiny? She wasn't sure. All she knew was that she could very easily see each individual thread in the black fabric of his glove and red of his iconic coat.

"V-Vash?" Meryl stuttered out. She wasn't normally scared of him, but now she was tiny and defenseless and her life was quite literally in the palm of her husband's hand.

"Hmm? Yes Meryl?" He responded with that oh so charming smile of his that made her melt in his hands.

"What happened? Where's the hotel? Why am I.... Ya know....?"

"Teeny tiny?" He finished for her. "You don't remember? Last night someone tried going after me, but shrunk you and destroyed the room in the process. We're going to Rose to see if Knives or Mama knows how to fix you"

She nodded, the night prior coming back to her.... Or was it? She wasn't quite sure

Vash chuckled softly, gently rubbing her head as he walked through the desert, his shrunken wife in hand. "Just relax. But you might want to wake up"

Meryl looked up at him, "What?"

"Meryl. Wake up"

The black haired woman gasped, sitting up quickly and promptly smashed her face into the metal grate that covered her husband's left pec.

"Shit! Meryl are you alright?" The humanoid Plant exclaimed, concerned lacing his voice as he shifted, his glowing aqua blue eyes meeting her light gray eyes. She couldn't help but blush as he held her head in his massive natural hand. Even after so long his scarred, muscular body made her flustered, and it certainly didn't help that she was practically buried in the red fabric of his iconic duster.

"Oh... Yes... I'm alright"

"Did you have one of those shrinky dreams again?"

"Yes... How did you know?"

"Meryl... You talk in your sleep. And you've been having similar dreams since my transformation." He stated, standing up to his full height and stretching out before grabbing his prosthetic arm and reattaching it before grabbing a donut and eating it in a few bites "C'mon, I set out your work dress and made your lunch. You don't want to be late for your first day back to the office"

She nodded, quickly shrugging off the coat and got dressed, carefully climbing down the gargantuan custom bed made just for Vash and grabbed her own holster jacket, shoes and lunch bag.

Vash smiled waiting until she was just about to leave to scoop her up into his arms and kiss her passionately. "Have a wonderful day my love" he told her, giving her his signature charming grin before putting her back down and ruffled her hair.

Meryl's face turned red hot as she rushed out the door, heading to HQ. He might irritate her to no end, but being married to the Humanoid Typhoon was like living a dream.

Outlaw Insider Chapter 7

I forgot to post this here, but here is Outlaw Insider chapter 7. I told you I didn't forget!

If you enjoy my writing, please send me a kofi ko-fi(dot)com/kokohamstar . I'm a 32 year old living with her mom because she's covered in debt, so anything helps.

For the full story, please check out my AO3 post here.

“Welcome to the team, Vash.” Meryl shook his hand firmly. She might have gripped it a bit too tightly. She might have gotten a little paler than she was. Maybe it was the sweat that he saw on her brow that glistened under the moonlight, Vash couldn't help to think that she looked beautiful...just before she hit the ground.

“Meryl!”

“Senpai!”

The two ran to her immediately, checking her for any injury. “Meryl. Meryl are you okay?” Vash touched her shoulder, gently rolling her over to see her wince as her back hit the gravel. Her back. He realized. He pulled the cape off gently, setting it to the side.

“Oh Senpai…” Milly voice was the sound of defeat as she looked down upon her partner. As the cape came off, the damage came into view. The back of her dress had been burned into her skin in a mix of blood and dirt.

“Shit... Hey! We need a doctor over here! Please!” Vash’s voice was frantic. He was waking tired wounded citizens from their well-deserved rest. A few of them glared at him, others looked on with concern, but most of them just glanced over in unsympathetic curiosity. “Meryl… It’s going to be okay.” He touched her shoulder gently. It had to be okay.

When had it happened? When they were in the building? Why didn’t he notice? Dammit. Why the hell didn’t he notice?! She’d played it off so well. She played it off… just like he always did. Like she was fine. Like there were more important things to worry about. More important people than her.

The doctor crouched in front of him, tiredly cleaning the girl’s back as he stepped away. He wanted to blame himself. This had to be his fault somehow. He didn’t notice. She came back for him. But she still would have been there. With or without him, she’d have been in the heart of danger. Only Milly would have been with her instead. Milly would be the one carrying her out because Meryl had pushed herself too far.

She had always pushed herself too far. And there was no way he could have stopped her from doing so.

It would be midday before Meryl woke up, lying on her stomach on a blanket in what the town had turned into their makeshift clinic. It was a church on the outskirts of town, all the pews had been moved to the walls and in the center were blankets and cots for the injured to rest on while the town’s only living doctor and the few citizens who knew any bit of first aid made their rounds upon the wounded.

She groaned as the pain in her back set in, opening her eyes slowly. Her vision landed on the two, sleeping haphazardly back to back. Milly and Vash looked like siblings leaned against each other on the floor beside her. Milly blinked awake at the sound of her partner. “Senpai!” she leaned forward, causing Vash to drop to the floor with a grunt.

“Milly…” he sat up, rubbing his head gently before looking towards her, only to quickly avert his attention elsewhere. “Meryl!” With that he leaned forward, bracing himself on his hands. “Meryl I’m sorry. I didn’t know you got hurt.”

“Mm…” Meryl huffed a bit. “Honestly neither did I. Not this bad at least.” She acted as though she were going to push herself to a sitting position, but with a wince and a hiss, she gave up, relaxing best as she could onto the blanket once again. “How bad is it?”

“Uhm…” He didn’t know what to say. Bad? Gross? It’s going to scar? His stomach flipped. She was going to be scarred. Like him.

“Don’t worry, Senpai. It’ll be all better in no time!” Milly’s optimism was astounding.

Meryl actually laughed a bit. “So it must be pretty bad, huh?” She reached over, taking Milly’s hand gently. “Thank you both for being here.”

“Well we are a team, after all.” Milly squeezed her hand gently.

Vash was avoiding the shorter girl’s eyes as he mumbled. “Right. We’re a team.”

“That means no running.” Meryl said, firmly. “No self-pity about how everything is your fault or any other brooding.”

The former-blond simply blinked at the woman before laughing gently. “Right. No brooding. Got it.”

To say that the next few days were easy would be a lie. Meryl’s pain came in waves shooting through her skin. Despite living under the heat of two suns, nothing could have prepared her for the burning that had settled into her back. She wasn’t up and about twenty-four hours later like Wolfwood and Vash used to after their many disastrous escapades. She was bed-er… floor bound, feeling the searing ebb of pain flow through her nerves for hours, filled by a short time of peace or sleep. The doctor came by to apply salve to her back and patch it back up, but with limited resources, there wasn’t much he could do in terms of pain management.

Help from the closest town came three days later in the form of busses to transport the remaining citizens, food for those who couldn’t be moved, and more medical assistance. Not much changed for Meryl in this time. Anesthetics were hard to come by, and, despite Milly and Vash telling her otherwise, other people needed them more. They wouldn’t give up on trying to get her some kind of pain relief, and she wouldn’t stop refusing it. People lost limbs. People were burned worse than she was. They needed it more. Perhaps she’d underestimated her own injury, but she could bear it, she thought. She could get through it and heal and be back on her feet. Maybe not as fast as Vash, but as fast as she could.

“He’s only getting further away.” Meryl commented a week later, now able to sit up for a time with her back patched and her front covered by the same bandaging. “Amorous Lynch is going to be near impossible to find after this.”

“You’re still going after that psycho?” Vash frowned. “Meryl he could have killed you.” He handed her a glass of water and she winced at the movement of taking it in her hand. “You don’t need to get caught up in this again.”

“You’re going to just let him go? Shouldn’t you want to save people from him or something?” She stared him down in his silence. “This isn’t just a job, Vash. If I can catch him, I can turn him over to the authorities. Bounty or no, this guy has to be stopped.”

“Yeah but—”

“Does it have to be us?” Milly was the one that spoke up this time. Her brows were furrowed in worry. “We have done enough risk prevention, haven’t we? Isn’t this… isn’t this just too much?”

Meryl frowned at her partner. It wasn’t like the other to run away. It wasn’t like either of them to admit defeat. “We chased down the most wanted person on the planet Milly.” She reminded her.

“And he turned out to be innocent. Do you really think this guy is anything like Mr. Vash?”

Meryl was quiet at that. No. No one was like Vash. She didn’t have an argument for that. They’d lucked out with the most ‘dangerous’ man being nothing but a misunderstood puppy. They wouldn’t be that fortunate again. “He has to be stopped…” She repeated.

“But does he have to be stopped by us?”

The two of them were quiet for a long time. Even Vash couldn’t find the words to break the silence that had settled between them. He could watch the wheels turning between them as they both thought of what to say next to convince each other of what’s best.

“I’m not giving up.” Meryl said firmly. She set her eyes on Milly with determination. “I’m going to catch him. I’m going to stop him.” She clenched the cup in her hands. “And while I’m at it, I’m going to get a hell of a story to tell.” She added, “But if you want to go home, Milly, I understand.” And she did. She always did. If Milly had ever asked to quit or go back to the insurance society or to the office or even just go home to her large family, Meryl would have never held that against her.

Instead, Milly took a deep breath. “Then I guess we’re going.” Her voice was tired. “I can’t exactly leave you to your own destruction, Senpai.”

Meryl couldn’t help but be grateful for that. No, she’d never hold it against her partner for leaving. However, that didn’t mean she wasn’t grateful for the company. “Meryl.” She told Milly firmly.

Milly blinked at the other. “Sorry?”

“We started this job at the same time. Senpai isn’t really correct anymore. Besides, you make more sense than me most of the time. Just call me Meryl.”

“Right… Okay Meryl.” Milly smiled at that, pride beaming on her face.

It wasn’t as though Vash could let the girls go at it alone. And leading them off the trail obviously wasn’t working. So he decided to do the next best thing. He’d go with them. He’d protect them at their side. It was the only option he had. So a month later, when Meryl was able to dress herself fully, despite the burning sensation under her clothes, he was packed and ready to go. “So where to?”

Meryl started to put her cape on, the weight of her derringers pressing to her back before she quickly decided otherwise. “First we have to get a lead. No one here ever saw him, so the best bet is to go to the next town and see if they heard anything. With rumors there is a bit of truth. So we take what we can get.”

Vash took the cape from her, starting the daunting task of removing all of the small guns from their holsters and placing them into her suitcase. He wished she wasn’t so good at this. He wished she didn’t know where to start, but, unfortunately, he’d given her a lot of practice in the last few years.

“And when we find him?” Milly packed their new truck with their bags and what water they could carry. “How are we going to catch him?”

Meryl shrugged a bit. “With rope I guess.”

There was a hesitation before Vash laughed. A hardy laugh from his chest, causing him to double over. “Rope?!” Meryl watched him trying to regain his composure. “That’s your big plan? Rope?”

“Yeah well do you have anything better?” There was a slight pout to her lips as she glared up at the man.

“N-no! No I don’t. But I certainly didn’t expect that to be the only plan we’ve got!”

“Chains might be better…” Milly commented. “He can’t burn through those.”

“He can’t burn through anything if his hands are tied. And rope is easier to carry.” Meryl was already packing said item into the truck.

“I agree with the big girl.” Vash said, amusement still in his voice. “Chains are better. After all, how many times have I gotten out of a rope?”

“You could get out of a concrete block if you tried hard enough. You’re hardly an accurate example.”

He laughed again, this time gently. “Alright. Well pretend you’re trying to catch me…again. Treat this whole scenario like you would with me. Before you knew me.”

Meryl stopped moving for a moment. “Well we don’t know what environment we’ll have when we find him. A town. A village. A big city.” She chewed on her lip as she thought in a way that wouldn’t allow his smile to leave Vash’s face. “I guess it’d be best to corner him somewhere without any wood. Like…like in jail? Or maybe a vault? Like at the bank?”

“He’s never going to banks or jails though sen…Meryl.” Milly corrected. “But concrete walls… those are common in small towns right?”

She nodded. “But finding him in a small town. That’s going to be difficult. He’s going to where he can do the most damage.”

“Then it sounds like the plan is,” Vash started, loading the last bag into the truck and lifting the tailgate. “Corner him in a jail, vault, or otherwise concrete building.”

“Hm… it’s not really much of a plan, but—”

“It’s better than rope.” Vash teased.

“But!” She continued. “It’s a plan.” There was discomfort in her sigh. “We can leave tomorrow.”

Vash and Milly looked on in concern, Milly being the one to speak. “Are you sure you’re ready?”

“As ready as I will be. The longer we wait, the farther he gets, and the more people who get injured.”

Vash shook his head gently. “You’re quite the stubborn one, Meryl.”

“Yeah well… look who my example was.” She nodded toward him. “I don’t think anyone is as stubborn as you are.”

He rubbed the back of his neck shyly. “Yeah I guess you’ve got me there. Just…” He looked down at her, his gentle eyes focused on her. “Please don’t be like me. Be…be better. Smarter. Don’t hurt yourself over this.”

“Bit too late for that.” She laughed.

“I’m serious.”

Meryl nodded, smile fading. “I’ll do my best.” It was all she could promise. “We’ll save as many as we can. And we’ll come out alive on the other side.” But the damage to come was nothing she could anticipate. At least she wouldn’t be alone. “I’ll be okay. As long as you two stick by me.”

Milly patted her shoulder as carefully as she could. “We’re not going anywhere, right Mr. Vash?”

The dark haired man nodded. “Right. We’re a team.” He remembered he repeated his words from before, adding her own stipulations. “That means no brooding. From any of us.” He tilted Meryl’s face up to look at him. “No matter how things turn out. You’re doing things for the right reasons. You’re… we’re human.” He’d taken the title since his hair had gone black.

There was a blush that played over her cheeks. A burning she couldn’t blame on her injury. “Right. We’re human.” She agreed, ducking out of his hand. “So we only have one life to make things right.” With that, she walked past him, back to their makeshift lodgings, leaving him behind her, a sad smile on his lips.

He looked at her back with pain sinking into his heart. That was the first mark. That was the first step into becoming just like him. He didn’t want that for her. He didn’t want the martyrdom for her. He didn’t want the scars and pain. But this was the best he could do. Just…just be there. Just try to prevent all the damage he could, even as she ran headstrong into danger.

Was this what he always did to her? If so, he couldn’t feel more guilty for it.

43. A bloody kiss

--

The taste of copper is so thick on his tounge Vash can't quiet tell who the blood has come from, and right this second he doesn't quite care.

They're both alive. Injured, exhausted. Beyond battered and bruised but alive and that's good enough for him, sends his veins singing with enough relief it nearly cripples him, crushing Meryl to his chest, pulling her into a desperate, searing kiss. It's messy, inelegant, but the passion, tension, devotion is consuming. It's blood, teeth, tears.

It's everything at once and Vash never wants it to end.

"It's okay-" He pulls back just enough to breathe the releif, the assurance between their lips. "-You're okay, I'm okay, we're okay, it's gunna be fine, you're okay"

Meloncholy clouds his smile as he thinks of her.

"Meryl is....She means so much to me. She's...a friend, she's my family, I...love her more than anything in this world."

"She makes me feel....Brighter, lighter. Like things will be okay, just because she says so with that stubborn little glint in her eyes...I'd do anything for her, I'd give her the world if I could"
