𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮, Knives realizes.
He's going to take that stupid strobing cube up to where it won't touch a single human but will more than likely incinerate him - & Knives if Knives continues chasing him up through the stratosphere.

His heart stops.
Suddenly nothing else exists in the universe. Nothing but Vash. Nothing else matters. Not their sisters, not mankind, not even his entire purpose. Nothing.
In that moment, all Knives can register is the fact that Vash is in trouble. And that he's in a position
Suddenly nothing else exists in the universe. Nothing but Vash. Nothing else matters. Not their sisters, not mankind, not even his entire purpose. Nothing.
In that moment, all Knives can register is the fact that Vash is in trouble. And that he's in a position
to fix it.
So he does.
He breaks his arm in four different places.
At the cost of losing anything & everything past his shoulder, he maneuvers that broken limb through all the right gaps & gets his fingers on the pulsating mass of energy in his little brother's hand.

"N-!" Vash gasps. "No-!" He cries out as his grip slips.
"Nai don't!" He begs - always, 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 begging for 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮; demeaning himself for 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮; destroying himself for 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.

It hurts Knives. Deeply. Makes his very soul ache. He wishes humanity would treasure his
brother as much as he did. But they didn't. They never would.
Still, Vash would continue to adore them- love them & protect them. Unconditionally. For eternity.

He laughs, despairing. "You...," his throat
cinches tight - like a noose - makes his voice crack. He swallows. "You make me insane." He strains to get past the knot.
"Baby brother," fondness bubbles up in his chest. "You make me 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 fucking insane-." He's smiling now. "You know that?"

Vash is still scrambling - still trying with every fiber of his being to protect his pets - still trying to get the cube out of Knives' hand.
He's shouting. Something about hope & humanity & second chances - the usual spiel.
Knives hears none of it. He keeps Vash back with a
He's shouting. Something about hope & humanity & second chances - the usual spiel.
Knives hears none of it. He keeps Vash back with a
foot on his shoulder & just watches.
The blue of his eyes, the gold of his hair, the desperation of his heart - he watches it all. Watches the way Vash struggles & keeps struggling - that endearing persistence of his. All that makes him, him - Knives watches.

And then slowly, he smiles.
"𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮."
Vash stills.
"𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴."
Vash frowns. "Wh-?"
"𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮."
Vash stills.
"𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴."
Vash frowns. "Wh-?"
"I love you," Knives whispers, "... so much."
He doesn't realize he's crying until the tears hit his wrist. "I love you," he laughs & cries in the same breath. "I-," his breath hitches. "I love you more than you could ever know, Vash."
He doesn't realize he's crying until the tears hit his wrist. "I love you," he laughs & cries in the same breath. "I-," his breath hitches. "I love you more than you could ever know, Vash."
He's quiet now - his little brother.
It's strange, Knives finds himself thinking. For all the trouble & heartache it's caused him, he still prefers the catastrophic noise of Vash's insanity over his silence.
He almost wants to pick another fight just to hear him yell again.

But it's too late now.
The thing in his palm is beginning to burn. He only has moments left. So in those last few moments, he keeps smiling.
As he pushes against Vash's shoulder - kicking him back, he parts his lips.

𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶, he mouths because his throat's completely closed now. 𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 & 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳.

Beneath him, Vash is out of energy & plumetting back to
Gunsmoke. Back to safety.
𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘨𝘰𝘥.
His face remains blank as he goes. Still confused. Like he still doesn't understand what's happening.
It takes a few moments. Seconds. Not too long, but just long enough- for epiphany to his. Too late, he realizes what's happening.

Fear like Knives has never before seen rips across his face. A look of absolute derangement accompanies it.
"No-!" He lunges forward - every last plant marking blazing to life as he dredges up what's left of his power -... and still falls short.
"No, NO, 𝘕𝘖, 𝙉𝙊!!!"
"No-!" He lunges forward - every last plant marking blazing to life as he dredges up what's left of his power -... and still falls short.
"No, NO, 𝘕𝘖, 𝙉𝙊!!!"
He fights against gravity to no end. Fruitlessly. Savagely. Harder than Knives has ever seen him fight.
He screams the entire time - "NAI - 𝘕𝘈𝘐!"
He screams the entire time - "NAI - 𝘕𝘈𝘐!"
"𝘋𝘖𝘕'𝘛 𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘔𝘌!" He's sobbing now - tears streaking down his cheeks. "𝘕𝘈𝘐 𝘗𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘚𝘌 𝙋𝙇𝙀𝘼𝙎𝙀, 𝘐 𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌 𝘠𝘖𝘜, 𝘋𝘖𝘕'𝘛 𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘔𝘌 - 𝘋𝘖𝘕'𝘛 𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌 𝘔𝘌, 𝘿𝙊𝙉'𝙏 𝙇𝙀𝘼𝙑𝙀 𝙈𝙀-!!"
- It's the last thing Knives hears. The last thing he sees.
So he dies with a smile on his face.
So he dies with a smile on his face.
