Vash the Stampede

Vash loves falling asleep while cuddling with you - he sticks to you like a leech. If you turn him down, he'll sulk all evening, but then he'll sneak into bed with you anyway. He won't let you fall asleep alone.

Vash loves being the little spoon. He falls asleep quickly on your chest. He gently hugs you like his a favorite teddy bear, pressing close to you and wrapping his arms and legs around you? but without making you feel confined. However? this idyll doesn't last long...

Vash sleeps like a restless little devil. He's constantly tossing and turning, rolling from one side to the other, twitching, and taking up most of the bed. Forget about getting a good night's sleep. And he mumbles in his sleep with souch a blissful look on his face - so silly and sweet that it's impossile to stay mad at him. Who knows, maybe he's dreaming about delicious donuts or something like that?

But sometimes... Sometimes his face takes on an anguished, almost pained expression. His eyebrows are drawn together, his temples glisten with sweat, he gasps for air through his mouth, and tosses and turns on the pillow, yet he doesn’t wake up. He’s having nightmares. Please hug him, stroke his spiky hair, whisper tender words, and hold him close to your chest again. Your touch will help him calm down and drift back into a carefree sleep.

Vash usually wakes up early in the morning - after all, his workouts won't wait - but if he's sleeping with you, he'll hapilly stay in bed for couple more hours. Or maybe even all day - a day off wouldn't hurt.

Millions Knives

Sleep with you? Sleep with anyone? You risk losing your head for even thinking that!

No! No! And NO again!

He won't stoop that low. He wouldn't allow himself to.

Under no circumstances would Knives sneak into your bedroom at night like an invisible shadow, absolutely certain that you’re asleep, tiptoeing across the floor so that a random creak wouldn’t wake you up and give away his presence. Just as quietly, he won’t lower himself onto the sheets behind you, still keeping his distance, avoiding any physical contact. He won't. He won't fall asleep. Someone like him doesn't need to...

Wait. Or maybe...

To this own disappointment, balancibg on the edge between reality and something vaguely resembling a dream, Knives unconsciously leans forward you. The distance dangerously shrinks to barely perceptible.

No, he still isn't touching you. Maybe only the tip of his nose is almost touching the hair at the back of your head. Almost. Maybe it only seems that way. that doesn't count, right?

Knives is barely breathing. He's so sensitive and alert, even in this sleepy haze. Oh God. Don't you dare wake up. Not now. Just a little longer. Just a tiny bit longer.

He’ll slip out of the bedroom before the first rays of sunlight. He’ll vanish just as quietly as he appeared. Or maybe he was never here at all, and you just dreamed it all up, silly?

He knows what’s happening—he just doesn’t like it It’s not ignorance - it’s restraint. Vash knows desire, he’s just unfamiliar with letting it live in his body, especially around you. He respects you deeply, maybe even reveres you a little, and the idea of you seeing that side of him before you're ready makes him ache with guilt and shame. Not because he thinks it’s wrong - but because he wants it to be right when it happens.

He’s trying his hardest to be discreet as hell. He’ll adjust his coat without a word. Cross his legs. Shift position. Tuck himselfaway from you. He’s got a hundred ways to hide discomfort in plain sight, and unless you’re really tuned into his body language, you’d never know what’s going on.

If you do catch on, he handles it with quiet charm. You raise an eyebrow. He meets your gaze, slightly flushed, lips twitching into a wry smile:“Caught that, huh? …What can I say, you’re just extra beautiful today, Mayfly” He’ll redirect the conversation, distract you from himself, maybe even tease you right back just to shift the power a little - but there’s no hiding the blush in his ears or the twitch of his fingers.

He wants – deeply - but holds back like it’s his second nature. Even when he’s burning up inside, he won’t act on it. Not unless you initiate, not unless you make it clear that you’re ready. He’s so afraid of crossing a line, even unintentionally. So he endures. Quietly. Longingly. He thinks about you at night sometimes. Hates himself a little for it. But the feeling lingers anyway.

If you tease him? You’ll see the real restraint. You lean close, murmur something soft against his ear, your fingers brushing his thigh by accident or design. And he freezes for half a second. Not out of fear - out of restraint. Because he could so easily kiss you. Touch you. Ask for more. But he just breathes deep, tilts his head away, and murmurs:“Careful, sweetheart. I’m not made of stone.” That soft warning? Yeah. He means it.

Later, when things are right, he lets go - but it’s always intentional When the time comes and intimacy finally unfolds, it’s not frantic or desperate - it’s tender, slow, and reverent. He wants you, and he’s no longer afraid to show it. But you’ll always know: that control, that composure - it was never because he didn’t feel it. It was because he felt it too much.

All Vash Universes

For starters, All versions of Vash adore and respect you with the utmost certainty. Never in his 100+ years did he ever think someone out there would give their undivided attention to him, much less reciprocate any kind of romantic desire.  

That being said, he also has so much turmoil and trauma that has followed him everywhere, so he’s a bit slow going in the first moments you are together.  

He’s not going any further than initial words until you assure him that you want him 1000%. He doesn’t want to be the first one to shift the relationship until you give him the command. He’s got all the time in the world to wait if he has to. Only going as far as you’re comfortable with.  

Vash adores you no matter what you look like! He’s not one to ever think any kind of body type is better than another. He’s happy that someone just wants to hold him close and let him enjoy the sentiment of physical and emotional closeness.   

He won't push you into anything you don't feel 100% comfortable doing. Man can be kinky AF or vanilla AF if that's all you want to do.  

Vash is nothing but selfless when it comes to wanting to make you feel good. Be it his hands, his mouth, everything he has to offer you a sense of euphoria, he’s willing each and every time. And he won’t stop until he feels like you’re fully satiated. His needs can be met another time, your needs always come first. (But please do not neglect this poor man! He’s deserving of royal treatment too!)  

Vocal AF! But each one is a bit different in their vocal stims and reactions. But make no mistake, you could spend hours learning all the different mewls, moans and growls he makes.   

Will keep you and him a secret, or at the very least, be very quiet about your relationship because of the dangers. The last thing Vash wants is for you to be found out by anyone who is after him, so don’t expect a lot of PDA if at all. (even though it aches to not be able to touch you 24/7)

98’ Anime

~ Playful and Endearing

This man is a horn dog on the outside, we see it plenty, however once you both finally have your clothing off and he has full clarity of what’s going  on…oooh boy does he get real shy real quick.  

He’s not going to back out of wanting to make you feel loved, he just needs some re-assurance that it’s *him* you really want, and not just being a tease.  

Allow some time for visual foreplay, He loves to just map out your body. He finds every inch of you beautiful, scars, folds, curves, birthmarks and moles! Of course he feels differently about himself, but give him the same reassurance and he’s a happy man.  

He’s very playful in his physical foreplay. Finding spots on your body that are ticklish, and will wiggle his fingers around until you push them away.  

Loves to pepper kisses all over your lips, face and neck. He just loves how you sound each time. Do it to him as well! He’s full on blushing and giggling with every press of your lips to him!  

I like to think he’s a bit more jokey/goofy sometimes in bed, not so much that it dampens the mood, but c’mon! This guy uses humor to mask out his pain, so he’s going to make quips every now and then to ease the fear that still lingers in the back of his mind.  

I would say the most submissive of the trio. He’s willing to take on the dominant role if you prefer, but he’s someone who likes to give in to being controlled more often than not. Man has been having to make hard decisions all his life, let him have a break by being a good boy. He LOVES it!  

Loves it when you ride him, pin him down and hold his hands above his head. He’s a full on mess because he wants to touch you sooooo badly but he’s also a good pup who listens to your commands. No touch means no touch!   

Also, please ride this man’s face! Honestly it’s his favorite position, and it’s the one instance where he turns the tables and has you begging for mercy!    

Whines a lot…Whines when he’s fully inside you. Whines when you expertly touch him. That’s his go to sound, and trust me…he’s very vocal with it.  

“Mayfly pleeeeease I wanna make you feel good too!”  

He’s slow with his thrusts at first. He doesn’t want to break you, so he doesn’t push hard or too fast… but he hits deep.   

Prefers to have you pressed against him the whole time, unless you’re riding him. He’s one to want to feel every shake and tremble of your body as he brings you closer to your climax.  

Definitely says a lot of dirty things. Sometimes they don’t always hit the mark, but it makes you laugh when he tries…so that’s a win in his book.  

“Oh Mayfly, you look so pretty taking my fat cock don’t ya?” “That’s it…fucking ride me like an erratic Tomas!” “What?” “Errr— I mean…uhh…fuck me..?”   

Definitely the kinkiest of them. But he’s never one to push anything on to you if you don’t feel 100% behind it. He might ask again later on in the relationship, but if it’s a no, then its a no.   

He lets out deeper purrs when he climaxes. He can’t control it, and he was genuinely embarrassed the first time he did. But you let him know you find it adorable and really hot, so he happily lets it out.  

Says “I love you” the most out of all three. He’s saying it before, during and after sex. And of course he means it every time!  

Cuddles like you’re going to slip away any moment if he isn’t skin to skin everywhere!  

Also, he sometimes cries when he sees your naked form sleeping comfortably. Something about you being so trusting to have him next to you at night in the comfort of his gaze. He's blessed.  

He’s also the clingiest of the three. Once he is for sure in love with you, it’s damn hard to get him off you. In public he’s more discreet with a quick stroke against your lower back when he walks past you, or his fingers lingering a bit longer on yours when handing you something. Anything lowkey so you both don’t look suspicious.

Stampgaze

~ Hesitant And Passionate

He’s not sure at first if he can even fathom that you’re giving him any loving attention. This man has been through a lot of hell, so he’s not sure how to reciprocate any kind of physical attention early on.   

It’s not that he doesn’t understand it, the man has been alive for a long time. However, he isn’t sure if you’re doing this out of genuine devotion or love, or just being friendly enough to help with carnal needs. (Plant Heat has been a topic for this ‘verse so I’m going with it)  

He’s more romantic during sex, but there are times where his goofy side comes out. He has to be a bit more comfortable in your relationship to allow some playfulness to pop through. He feels like if he gets too silly it’ll ruin the mood. it doesn’t.  

I believe wholeheartedly that he’s a true Switch. Mostly in the beginning he was all about servicing your every need, and allowing you to take charge during sex. He’s more than happy being a Sub for you, leading him in what feels best for the both of you.  

Play with his HAIR! Oh he melts immediately if you run your hands through it. Both in his short and long styles.  

He shivers any time you run your fingers along the nape of his neck, and up to his ears. And playing with his earring? He’s whining.   

Speaking of– whiny and high pitched moans happen frequently. Anything you do to him sets him off like a siren. Gently tugging his hair? Moaning into your neck. Caressing his stomach and hipbone? Full on whines and gasps.  

Seriously Vash is vocal in a full range of low to high pitch, it’s all a game of what sounds are associated with what you do to him.  

Loves it when you ride him facing him. Watching you roll your hips and keeping him in place with one hand against the curve of his hipbone, leaning down to kiss him deeply. Oh he’s a goner!  

But after a while, this man has no problem flipping the tables and taking charge. He’s still mainly focused on you, but now he gets to play a bit more with what he likes in a dominant position.  

Like I said, Stamp! Vash is a true Switch. Once his dominant side is out, he’s holding you down, making you beg and being quite the tease. He enjoys every little sound and movement you make under him, taking his sweet time to draw out and map every touch that makes you tremble.   

No matter how many times, or how feral he’s being, he will never not be gentle on the first push of his cock inside you. He’s not going in until after he’s had you cum at least twice however you wish.  

Once he’s fully settled inside your warmth, it takes a lot of restraint to not want to fuck you into the mattress. He’s definitely pent up so the mix of adrenaline and hormones has his body screaming to fuck you.  

Will go whatever pace you want, but he needs to go deep. Honestly all the Vash’s do, but for Stamp! Vash his plant biology is really kicking him to make it count.  

Still very vocal too, but now he’s being more dirty with his words.  “you like being fucked like this Mayfly?” “My, how pretty you look coming undone for me.” And a bit deeper in pitch too.   

He's very much wanting to make-out in between praises. He's not satisfied unless his lips are making contact with you somewhere and frequently.  

His plant pattern starts to glow when he’s about to climax. The first time you saw it happen he felt a bit ashamed, but you gave him reassurance that he looks especially pretty when he does.   

“I love you” is more frequent while he’s in the throes of his own climax. He doesn’t say it just because he’s feeling good. He means it, but he’s definitely a bit more reserved because it’s not easy trying to get out how he really feels. Sometimes it takes him being drunk on that moment to let his words finally slip out.   

Aftercare is the first thing in his mind immediately after. He’s grabbing towels, water, asking if you need anything. The man just wants to pamper you now after all that.   

He’s shy about wanting to cuddle at first. The first few nights he really had no idea how to bring up that he would love to be held by you. So he would just huddle to one side of the bed until you would reach out and pull on his night shirt to tug him closer.  

He loves being the little spoon, but facing you so his head is nestled into your chest. Even if you're smaller in stature, he slides himself down so you can wrap your arms around his head. His ear squished to your chest so he could hear your heartbeat.  

Will relinquish to being the big spoon if you’re in a dower mood, or pout enough to him that you want to be cocooned in his broad chest. He can’t say no to how cute you look with your cheeks puffed out in frustration.  

Always has an arm wrapped around you while you both sleep. He tries to stay awake enough to softly rub little circles on your skin, but the motion slowly knocks him out.  

He’s not big into PDA but will be open to a pinkie hold or some other small but meaningful gesture to let you know he’s still attached to you.

Trimax (Trigun Maximum)

~ Reserved and Reverent

Trimax! Vash has so much love to give, but he’s beyond scared of what trials he faces and how it could ever hurt or affect you.  

He’s protective in many ways, and that did include keeping you at a distance for quite a long time. Only really allowing you to get so close to him emotionally and physically until the tension was so taught that even the slightest longing look in your eyes snapped his resolve completely.   

He treats you like glass at first. So afraid that even the slightest instance of him losing composure would break you.   

You have to allow him time to realize that you’re stronger than you look. Given how long you have been caught in the fray of gunfire and share of fights, he knows you’re not helpless, but you're still human. He’s going to worry regardless even when in the private embrace of his arms.  

Definitely the most touch starved. He’s over the moon when he gets to even brush his fingers along yours. Will spend the most time just wanting to caress or make-out with you.  

He spends a long time just cradling your face in his hands. It’s grounding for him to actually know you’re still there, and he loves how cute you look with your cheeks being squished towards your lips. (If you let him, he likes to gently massage your face too, pressing soft kisses in between.)  

Every kiss from his lips and touch of his fingers on your skin is slow, sensual and devoted. No part of your body is left un-attended and loved by him. To Vash, you’re a sacred being in his eyes, and he will make his offerings as he methodically kisses you from head to toe.    

He barely asks for anything for himself, the man seriously does not think he’s even deserving of your love, so the first time you show him the same kind of devotion, he’s embarrassed and even a bit ashamed that you see him as beautiful as he is. It’s a slow process getting him to be more open about having any loving treatment just for himself.  

Definitely cries quite a bit the first few times you and him make love. That first time you held him tight for a while afterwards, just letting him cherish and truly grasp that what is happening is real for him.    

When he makes love it’s not something he takes lightly. He’s fully focused on making sure you’re fully satiated. Every position, movement, and touch from him is precise to what makes you feel like you’re on Cloud 9.  

If you want romantic and slow sensual sex, he’s going to kiss you long and passionately with every slow, deep thrust.  

If you want him more rough, he’s gripping and pounding you into the bed so hard the springs are breaking underneath.   

Loves his hair being tugged on, especially when he’s going down on you. The gentle scratch of your nails in his scalp really gets his blood flowing down there.  

Loves loves LOVES holding your hand(s) if they are free. He shivers when he can thread his fingers into yours and clasp your palms together. Man would die if he couldn’t do it!   

Gives more breathy and guttural sounds when he’s making love. A few dirty words and praises are sprinkled in when he notices it makes you clench tighter around him.   

“Oh— you like it when I fuck you right here don’t you? “Pretty thing, just like that.”  

But he also mewls and whines when you take charge of his pleasure. “Mmhaaaaa Mayflyyy— feels so gooood…” "You're gonna make me cum Haaaahhh-!"  

This Vash is also a biter. When he’s really in the mood he likes to make a nice mark on your skin to prove that you’re in his possession.   

He loooooves cockwarming before and after sex. He could spend hours just having you in his lap, or pinned under him as he cuddles into you with him fully planted inside your soft heat. He’s even fallen asleep like that before, much to your mild annoyance. He apologizes but he isn’t really sorry. Any excuse to stay close to you in the short moments you have.   

He takes the longest of all versions to say that he loves you, not that he never wanted to, but God he’s so scared of losing you too that the idea of even saying the words has him mentally spiraling.   

But once the first time he says “I love you” escapes his lips, it’s all he is saying, even within the throes of ecstasy he keeps repeating it like a hymn meant only for your ears. “I love you… I love you Mayfly…oh I love you so much—“  

He’s not a cuddler…at first. He’s on the edge of wanting to hold you while you both fall asleep, but he’s also someone who has quite a few panic attacks / nightmares, so the idea of him shifting or possibly hurting you in his sleep is a real concern.   

The work around was he would happily wrap his coat around you at night, almost like a blanket, but he would sometimes sneak his arm underneath it to rub circles on your shoulder or waist.  

Enjoys watching you sleep rather than falling asleep with you. He particularly loves to watch the gentle rise and fall of your chest as you breathe. It’s soothing to him to know you feel enough trust and comfort with him to be able to look so at ease and rested.  

At first, he shrugged it off thinking it could be something to do with his plant biology

After a few days, they look like they are actually starting to grow

Vash gathers his thoughts together quickly and decides to keep this from you

He feels this will only make him feel more distant and even alien to you

He tries his best to keep his new growth a secret until he can figure out what to do about it

You notice Vash’s sudden change in behavior quickly

He becomes more reverse, but you give him space to try and figure out what is going on

Whenever you try to get close to him, Vash will make excuses and leave suddenly

He makes sure not to leave any feathers behind

One day you find a feather and start to piece together the clues

Confused and curious, you decide to ask Vash about it

Of course Vash is going to try and deny everything, attempting to change the subject

It’s when he sees the genuine concern in your eyes does he finally give it and tell you everything

You are more concerned about the mix of embarrassment and fear you see all over Vash’s face than the actual wings and feathers

To you this is just a new part of Vash, one you’re happy to learn about and explore with him

Much to his surprise, you are in awe, not frightened by his wings

You reassure him that this new discover doesn’t change a thing between you two

With your support, Vash slowly becomes more comfortable with his new addition

With this shared secret, you and Vash become closer

Vash feels a sense of relief and gratitude towards you
