SeeD 11 - small steps
WHO: Vash + Kni, for now
WHERE: Kaisou + Stardew Stable Gate
WHEN: Mid-September
WHAT: Vash picks up Kni after school, gonna go get chickens to cheer him up
WARNINGS: None for now, will update if needed.
[ It ... really didn't come to any sort of surprise to Vash that he's been called to Kni's school at least three times this week. He knew, with absolute clarity, that it would take a long time for Kni to get used to this. The idea of getting along with others 'his age', that learning how to cope with socializing wasn't going to be something he got used to over a weekend.
He'd pleaded Kni's case to his teachers a few times now, and gave them the simple option: when he starts to get too much to handle, please call me--I'll come take care of it.
Today wasn't a day he got called in to take Kni home early or to talk to him during lunch--so Vash is? Kind of proud of the kid for making it a whole day without any (that he knows of) huge interactions they need to discuss.
He doesn't know about the note that's hiding in the pocket of Kni's overalls as he waits outside--all seven goddamn feet of Vash the Stampede--wearing his hair up in a ponytail, and a floppy hoodie that fortunately didn't get too small for him when he shot up a bit in height.
When he sees Kni slowly moseying out of the school after the bell, vash will do as Vash does--wave at him like a crazy person and run over to scoop the kid up into his arms.
Sorry buddy, you're getting a hug from your big brother. ]
Made it the whole day today, huh??

no subject
what if he just did the mental and physical gymnastics necessary to pull Kni up into his arms--sitting on one of his broad shoulders in a comfortable postion where he could still hold his babychickens while they walked?
what if he did that
he's doing that.
up you go, buddy. ]
Here's hoping it never comes to that. I'd not want to hurt you for my mistakes, you know? You have no idea how important you are to me.
[ a pause. ]
Well, maybe you have some idea.
no subject
kni looks down at vash, leaning just a little against his head.]
Only as important as you are to me, Vash.
[enough to doom the world over and over, even.]
If you can carry the weight of my mistakes, then I can carry yours, Vash.
[and he understands; his mistakes, whatever shape they take in the future, will send his brother veering off into a direction he never wanted for his brother. in the end it's his responsibility, something he has to be accountable for in some way.]
