Milo stiffened, his legs moving before he could stop them and then his his hands were on Aries' face, a thumb flicking over his lip there the blood beaded up. Milo's eyes were dilated, fixated in the tiny wound. Preditory. It just reminded him of how much he froze up before and the shame in his heart roared it's ugly head.<br/><br/>"You wanna know why I haven't been talking?! It's because I'm a fuck up Aries! I'm not even normal by vampire standards and the other day I caught someone turning another person like they did with you and when I tried to help I<i>fucking froze up because I can't control myself!" <br/>
</i><br/>Milo felt his eyes water and he looked away as the first tears fell, gritting his teeth and trying to fight through them with little progress. Crying made him angrier. Mode desperate- he didnt want Aries to see him like this. He didnt want to him to see how terribly weak he was to a simple thing like a cut. How his walls were crumbling around him because the nightmares wouldnt stop no matter what he did. He wanted to lick Aries' lip. Make the wound bigger- show Aries what he meant when he said was insatiable but he kept his thumb pressed against it as he felt it heal.<br/><br/>"I just made it worse! I can't even help a single god damn person and you make me feel better about myself because you're the first person I've been able to help! You make me feel things! You make me angry and I like it because it's better then being numb!"
