Dark: Small series of "extended drabbles", if you will n.n because I need to get distracted by something and start with something light on the Trigun fandom xP before posting a longer fic, that is. It's coming, I tell you! xDD
Each one of these are mostly plot-less, but still have something that I call a semi-plot X3 Dunno how most will come out, but they'll all be randomly written, with random ideas as they come. And I've seen the original Anime version, so this will have one or two Japanese words. Vocabulary is at the bottom.
Just sit back and enjoy. Or so I hope.
And review, or I'll send a demented Knives after you. And no, not scantly clad with tight clothing either x)
"…" is speech.
Italics is thoughts.
:: … :: is telepathic speaking.
Disclaimer: I'm 17. Now, do you really believe I could ever own Trigun at the age of 8? Right, I don't own it. Unfortunately, mou. This is also the only disclaimer I'll make through this; it'll serve for all other chapters I'll post.

There was a first time for everything.
Vash and Wolfwood had just returned from the local saloon, mostly in silence. Later that night, they found they shouldn't have.
Their greeting was rather rough after all. As the doorknob quietly turned and they both entered the dark room, the soft ching and click of more than one firearm sounded.
Quickly wanting to prevent any possible violent scene, one of Vash's hands ran over the wall as fast as possible for the light switch, flicking it on.
Facing the men, Stungun Milly and Derringer Meryl stood, grimly holding their respective weapons, the latter with one on each hand.
Then, just as quickly, the minister cracked up laughing for no apparent reason.
"Wolfwood-san, Vash-san!" Milly quickly shouldered the massive projectile almost at the same time, a smile brightening her previously serious expression. "Gomen na! But since you didn't say anything and we'd think you'd make a lot more of noise, me and sempai thought you were bandits! What's so funny?"
An eyebrow lifting, Vash silently thanked Milly for asking the same question he wanted to ask to the still laughing chain-smoking young man.
Taking a shaky breath and still chuckling a little afterwards, Wolfwood could do nothing but point, "I never knew, short girl!!"
The other two turned at the same time. And Vash widened his eyes, staring.
On the other hand, Milly saw nothing unusual, "Nani?"
Finally, something clicked in Meryl's mind. She easily passed one of her guns to the other hand and with her now free one, quickly reached to her temple, a blush quickly growing on her cheeks. Then, she stopped. What's the use anyways… "Oh please, Wolfwood-san… It's not that funny."
"Actually, it's kinda funny to know you use glasses, you know. Shows you're actually human and mortal like all of us."
"What exactly does that mean?!"
"Oh, nothing, nothing at all!" the black clad male still had a large grin dancing upon his lips. "So really, why haven't we ever had the pleasure of seeing you use them before?"
"Sempai only uses her glasses at night, silly." The big girl added before the other could reply. She chuckled. "When she does our reports at night or wants to read, she puts them on."
"It's not like I can't see without them, but they're resting glasses, if you really wish to know. They diminish quite a few of my headaches, which I'm very much thankful for. I don't need to strain half as much." She huffed, which didn't have that much of an effect due to her still pinkish cheeks. "But I don't really like wearing them."
The outlaw fought down a twitch on the left corner of his mouth, "And why not, Insurance Girl?"
Meryl did a vain gesture at the priest, whom had resumed his chuckling, "Exactly because of that!!"
"Ahh, that was really funny!" Nicholas straightened up to his full height, cleared his throat a little and sighed, pleased. "So, big girl, I'm thirsty again after all this laughing. Have you got any of that wonderful tea you enjoy so much?"
"Well, there's not much left to tell you the truth… But I think there's enough for two more mugs!"
"Marvellous! See? The Lord told you to wait for me so that we could drink together."
"Honto des ka? I didn't hear anything…"
"He did, trust me."
Rolling her eyes at the retreating duo, Meryl turned on her heels to head back to her and Milly's room.
"Hey, short girl?"
She paused. "Yes, Vash-san?" her eyes caught his over her shoulder and the upper edge of her black rimmed glasses, blinking as she realized he was much, much closer than she had thought he was. Out of habit, one of her hands reached up, adjusting her specs before they fell lower on the bridge of her nose.
"You don't look bad in them, you know." An amused spark was dancing in his eyes. In the darkened room, they almost looked turquoise, which gave them a really mesmerising effect.
His real hand suddenly entered her field of vision and it took all she had in herself not to be startled; up till then, she had thought only his light hues existed. Two of his long digits slid upwards along her petite nose, adjusting her glasses yet again. She knew it was unnecessary, she had just done that, therefore she couldn't help but wonder why he did it. But the agent did not voice that.
Before he fully pulled away, his index finger tapped the very tip of her nose. "They suit you."
"Oh." She was thankful for the partial darkness his shadow offered her; maybe he couldn't see her blush. If he could, he said nothing about it. "Thanks…"
Meryl would make sure she'd "accidentally" come out of her room with her glasses on more often from then on.

Notes: I believe it's obvious, but the Key-word part refers to one of the most important words through the drabble, the Verse is either the manga or anime verse and the Warnings stand for spoiler alerts or lack of them.
