what do you want from me

For people there it's just everyday life.

[ A way to say don't worry about it. People are living their lives to the fullest no matter where they are.

Waddling closer, he gives Rin a hug. It isn't as awkward. ]

So you were going to use that machine, right? It's all yours!

[damp]

[ I was going to say it's a comfortable hug but then I remembered Vash is half metal.

So Rin can notice it too. ]

You're kind of... hard?

[piteous]

[ Hey... It's his arm and some other parts of himself, but his clothes should help? Vash blinks before letting go, looking at himself, then stroking his chin. ]

I am quite muscular...

[damp]

[ You use arms to hug... Rin will give the NOTICEABLY HARDER ARM a weird look, trying not to think about why ONE ARM would not MORE MUSCULAR THAN THE OTHER.

i think this is a joke idk i'm not sure if i can commit to something so cursed ]

Oh yeah. [ Let's change the topic. ] I can show you how to use the machines if you want.

[piteous]

[ HELp... VASH REALLY WAS JUST BEING JOKE-Y, BUT RIN IS LIKE let's not think about it, let's not talk about it.

Well, that's fine. ]

That'd be cool! [ Rin is so nice. ] I wouldn't want to be out of shape... And there's kind of little to do around here aside from attend my swimming lessons.

[damp]

[ narrows eyes ]

You're getting swimming lessons? From who?

[piteous]

[ ........................ Why does he have a bad feeling about this? ]

Haruka?

[damp]

From Haru?

[ WOW!! ]

I'm a way better teacher than him. [ dubious ] Does anything he say even make sense to you?

[piteous]

The rivalry is coming out... He did say you could teach me, too, but he was right there.

[ Vash like that's just convenience. ]

... Some sense? He isn't bad.

[damp]

[ tch ]

Show me.

[piteous]

R-right now?

[ SO SUDDEN? ]

[damp]

Yeah.

[ and he just walks to the pool... you can abandon him vash ]

[piteous]

[ HE'S HUGGING RIN SO HE'S BEING TAKEN BY TOUCH WEEK TO THE POOL

uh ]

I'm a little shy?

[damp]

[ THEY'RE STILL HUGGING? HELP. ]

About what? I've seen plenty of bad swimmers, so don't worry about it.

[piteous]

[ Well, I guess Vash went back to hugging Rin. ]

I meant... I'm body-conscious!

[damp]

What? I don't care about your body.

[ Hugs him also... as reassurance. ]

[piteous]

[ why are the free boys the same............ two of them...

Vash just stares into Rin's eyes, unsure what to say or argue, then moves his hair so he's looking away. He will strip down I guess and he will have pool-friendly bottoms cause i'm lazy.

RIN CAN HEAR THE METAL CLINK THOUGH that is just Vash detaching his arm. ]

[damp]

[ Rin will look away since he's not a creep, and strip down to his swim trunks as well.

When they're both done, he doesn't expect Vash to missing an arm and that kind of takes him aback. ]

It detaches. [ Help. ] Anyway, get in the water and show me what you can do.

[piteous]

[ He also has quite a fucked up body which I'm glad I don't need to explain to you cause you know. The arm is placed elsewhere so it doesn't get wet. ]

Yeah, it detaches! Easier to replace and do maintenance like this. Plus, it'd just weigh me down in the water.

[ But I guess he will go into the water and do freestyle. It's pretty easy versatile even with one arm.

He's okay. It's obviously a bit inexperienced and stiff because he's a baby. ]

[damp]

[ It is pretty messed up. Rin get of gets why Vash is shy about it now.

Rin just watches him swim with his arms crossed, and... he looks kind of crestfallen for a moment. ]

... He really did teach you how to swim.

[piteous]

That is... What he said he would do? Even though I struggled at first.

[ Just floating now like a turtle with his head above the water. ]

[damp]

There really isn't anything he can't do in the water, I guess.

[ except swim anything but freestyle ]

Are you enjoying it?

[piteous]

[ ... ]

Isn't swimming for survival?

[damp]

[ stares at him ]

I guess. But it can also be fun? Me and Haru don't swim to survive.

[piteous]

[ thinks incredibly deeply about this ]

... I guess... It is fun? I like how it feels to float in the water.
