Aries was glad the other didn't try to force more on him or make a big deal out of it. Instead, the male simply made him some, and when he returned with half a mug full Aries looked at it a moment before glancing away. He couldn't bring himself to touch it just yet but... Maybe when the other wasn't standing right there he would try. There was something about someone watching that only made the guilt all the worse.<br/><br/>"Yeah, yeah." He muttered in response to the other's words, but his voice lacked his usual snarky demeanor. Once the male left him alone he carefully took the mug of warm liquid and squeeze his eyes shut so as not to look at it. The sweet smell had him nearly salivating, his thirst burning, and so he quickly brought it to his lips and drank it as swiftly as he could. He coughed a bit, drinking too fast, but he managed to get it all down and finish off his glass of water as well to wash away the taste as quickly as possible. He'd really done it... He felt his chest ache and he simply lay down on the couch and curled up, his face tucked against the back of the couch as he hugged himself softly, fingers digging into his shirt. He felt miserable all over again but... There was nothing to do but learn to deal with it, right?
