Vash liked his brother, but started to despise him after he gave him this look. The eyes of his brother were full of disgust and confusion. He felt like he didn’t know his twin anymore.

Knives loved his brother, he was sure of it. In sweet moments his heart was full of warmth and right now full of rage. In front of him is Vash, not even looking at him. Hugging Rem, not him. At the beginning the twins were always tight, slept together, hugged each other.

And now? His brother just cared for Rem.

Vash got scared when his brother was talking about killing those bad humans. He didn’t want that. Why can’t they just talk and live in peace together? His brother in front of him seemed like a riddle to him.

Something way too big to wrap his head around. He tried to understand him in sleepless nights, but he couldn’t, could never understand him. Deep inside of him the feeling of drifting further and further away from his brother.

Knives felt so hurt after he noticed how his brother slowly tried to ignore him. But why? Why is he feeling so strongly about him, and why doesn’t he feel the same? The only reason can be Rem. She’s taking him away from him.

Even she starts to give him worried looks, talks less to him. Knives head screams at night, his heart reaching for his brother, his body he wants to hold so close. Every time he tries to come closer to his brother, he drifts further away. He tried to talk to him,

but he just answered him; he couldn’t understand him. But he didn’t even try to understand him. With each day the hate grew bigger. Rem stains his brother, she’s taking him away. Away from him, he’s not supposed to be left alone, being apart from his twin.

Resting in Rem’s arms, talking about nothing, Vash hears the ship making sounds he’d never heard before. He got scared and clenched onto Rem. She stood up and dashed through the corridors, until they got to his brother. Her face in horror.

The next thing he remembers is sitting with his brother in a capsule, holding hands, crying. Crying for Rem. The sadness in his heart shifted sometimes to an unknown feeling. It got stronger each second. Vash saw the hand he was holding and to whom it belonged, his brother.

His brother killed Rem. Hatred rose inside of him, screaming at his twin like he never did before. His brother said nothing until he was done. The look in his eyes terrified him: „We’re free now. You’re free now.“ What does that even mean? Wasn’t he free before?

Does he even want to be free? He just knows: when he gets the next chance, he will run away from him as far as possible. He can’t look at his brother's face any longer.

Days went by after the big fall. Knives and his brother walking all alone through unknown lands. Not talking much, but that’s enough for Knives. He just wants Vash to be his and to always be by his side. Until one morning he woke up all alone. His brother was gone. Was he eaten?

Kidnapped? Or just wandering around? He couldn’t have left him. Never would’ve left him. He was his own possession. He should’ve held him closer. The next days Knives started to feel hate again swapping with emptiness. He’s so alone without his brother by his side.

Why can’t they just be together? Where did it all go wrong? He loves his brother so much, and it hurts. In his head forms a plan, how he can make his brother his own. So that he can and will never leave again. He loves him, Vash is nothing without him,

they will be connected forever.

The first days went by and Vash lived in horror. Scared that his brother will find him again. Catch him and torture him. Yes, being close to him is like torture. But he knew he couldn’t run forever, they needed to meet again.

Even if it’s just for revenge. He will avenge Rem, his brother was in the wrong for doing what he did. So many people died because of them, half of the burden laid on his shoulders, kept him awake at night. The years went by and Vash grew even closer to humans.

They loved him, they hurt him, but he didn’t mind either. He didn’t deserve love, he deserved the pain. It was almost inevitable to meet his brother, so he did. At first his other half tried to reach for him, but he got away. After a few times his twin just talked about something

„Soon you’ll be mine.“ But Vash wouldn’t allow that. The hatred towards his brother calmed down a bit but rose again, when innocent people died because of him. He can’t get away with that any longer.

Knives plan was simple: erase the memories of his brother. Reset to the beginning where he knew no humans. Surely he would finally talk to him, tried to understand him. All those years his heart didn’t stop to yearn for his brother. This connection never faltered.

And now he’s so close to be just him and his brother again. His deepest wish is to become one with him. Behind him he heard steps, steps he would always recognize. His brother really came. He tried to talk some sense into him, but he’s now the one cutting him off.

There’s no other way now. He turns, sees the empty eyes of his brother. He looks so broken. It doesn’t matter anymore because he won’t remember anything. Fixating him was way too easy, his brother didn’t even resist. Mere minutes went by until his brother was but a hollow puppet.

Reborn. New from point zero. Just his and he will never leave his side again. He won’t be able to. He’s Knives possession, his property no one else can look at. He can finally hold him close again and he feels his heart racing with love. How much he longed for this touch.

Vash’s hatred turned into apathy, apathy turned into affection and affection turned into dependence. He didn’t know who he was, he didn’t know what everything was. He couldn’t ask, wouldn’t even get an answer. There’s this man, never leaving his side,

never taking his eyes off of him. He’s his and has no free will. But he liked this feeling. This feeling of comfort and warmth in the arms of this other person.
