Summary
That had never been part of his plan. Leaving Vash, hair blackened and his body and mind flayed by Knives’ own hands, in the care of strangers—as Millions Knives himself slunk off into the desert sands to die. His body had started to disintegrate before they even touched down on the sands outside the church, shedding pieces of decaying matter and stardust as he staggered towards his brother’s salvation. The energy it had taken to rebuild himself from bones would not last into the night, and Millions Knives did not want Vash to watch as he crumbled in agonizing slow motion.
So, Knives leaves. He slips out the back door while the father and child of Mesa Probe Church tend to an unconscious Vash, on silent, padding feet scattering energy in his wake. An apple tree sprouts from one shallow footprint; against his better judgment, Knives grants the seedling a burst of his own fading power as his cloak slides from his shoulders. It would be put to better use, he thinks, given to something that intended to grow rather than rot.
The child tries to call for Vash when Knives turns his back on the tree.
—And then Millions Knives walks into the dune sea of No Man’s Land, and he does not die.

Summary
Instead of wiping him down Nicholas’ hands trail the length of Vash’s spine again, back along his body and over the towel slung around his hips. “There’s another service I offer, actually.” His hands pause when they reach the back of his thighs, and Vash stills beneath him. “Have you heard of a tantric massage?”
“No,” Vash says slowly, though there’s suspicion in his tone. “What is it?”
“Well.” Nicholas’ hands don’t move, still splayed against his thighs and feeling the warmth of Vash’s skin beneath him. “I don’t strictly follow the rules of it, but it’s the closest thing I can compare it to. It’s a more - intimate massage.”
What starts off as a service soon gets Vash in over his head, captivated with the only man who seems able to give him what he wants.
