I am a big VashMeryl (Mash if you're cultured) shipper, and it is always an enjoyable experience to see things in the manga that can support the idea of romantic feelings between the two.
HOWEVER
I am also at the firm belief that there are no canon ships in the manga.
I don't think there is anything between Vash and Meryl, or Vash and Wolfwood for that matter, that cannot be explain or interpreted as platonic love and care. Friendships can be very deep, very sensitive, and very intense. For some, they can be more important than any romantic relationships, especially when it comes to two men.
Personally, I believe that the Trigun manga benefits from having no canon ships, but instead a focus on characters and their strength as individuals, as well as their strength through platonic bonds. The greatest treasure of no ships is that all ships should be fair game, and that fans have no grounds to hold anything as canon over other people's heads.
It's free real estate. Multi-shippers, rise up.
All things mentioned in OP's post I do believe are intended to be platonic, but if you have more fun reading it as romantic, I support it as well for the Mash trash that I am.
so, in the manga…
did Vash really have a romantic interest in Meryl?
spoiler alert: Trigun manga, Trigun Maximum
In the case of Meryl, there are several signs she has developed feelings for him. She accepts it and lets Vash be himself.
Mmm with Vash it’s hard to answer…
We see they’re good friends…she can be a bit tough with him but Vash always smiles to her.
I think that’s really sweet and he acts like that with everyone…
BUT
When Zasie kidnapped Meryl, Vash goes to rescue her and yes, that is something he could do for anyone who needs his help…but in Trigun Maximum chapter 28 when Vash suffers remembering all July’s tragedy…he thinks about Meryl in danger and keeps going.
And when he finally finds her in chapter 29, the worry and fear in his face is undeniable.
Then, there’s something really interesting FOR HIM happening after that.
Meryl witnesses July’s tragedy in a memory…and then she begins to be afraid every time she sees Vash in his angel form.
After seeing her so frightened, Vash says he feels like crying…
That could have separate them…
BUT
Vash receives a revolver from Meryl, being really surprised that she still wants to look after him, and smiles…relieved.
Meryl continues by his side, even after seeing his scariest power…and cares about him no matter the circumstances.
If we look for a romantic relationship…I think this is more complicated than that.
Oxford Languages defines romance as a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love.
We can’t say Vash is excited or nervous about Meryl…All we see is Vash nervous about Meryl crying most likely because he doesn’t know what to do, but that’s all (and that’s really cute).
Instead of that, Vash could be more oriented to “love” instead of “romance”.
But for someone like him, who is 150 years old, full of sorrows and regrets…what does “love” mean?
Cambridge Dictionary says:
Love is used to describe all strong feelings of closeness and care between two people.
After all they have been though together, they developed really strong feelings for each other, especially closeness and care.
And there is this moment, one of the most precious to me in this relationship.
Almost at the end, Vash is going to confront Knives but he makes a promise to Meryl before he leaves.
(Yes, we know he was a bit late but remember he was really injured, he had to heal at human speed at that time…but he was already on his way when he was found again).
He could have made promises many other times in his life but here he doesn’t only says he will return. He, who never asks nothing from anyone, asks her to wait for him.
Ok yes, he may be capable of love all humans…but he has always been a lonely wolf. He has friends, but he always travels alone.
It is until he meets Wolfwood and Meryl that he wants to stay with someone.
And Meryl is the one Vash wants to wait for his return.

This is definitely not a google drive full of the sleep stuff from the Headspace app, including sleepcasts, music, and wind down meditation, that normally costs 17.99 a month, no siree and you definitely shouldnt share this with people
