Just as always the human was comforting him again even though Aries was the one trying to make Luca feel better. Even so, he couldn't turn away the soft touch through his hair or the eventual arm wrapped around him. He parted his lips to speak at the soft, kind words, wanting to explain his own selfish thoughts, but he found that he couldn't. He was already scared that Luca would hate him for being a monster… he didn't want him to know that the vampire selfish, that he was a bad person on top of it all… in Aries' rather childish mind he couldn't think of himself in a good light when feeling such shameful emotions. It was all or nothing, and so he always felt like he was "nothing".<br/><br/>Yet here was someone saying that laying together was nice… with a monster like him… he couldn't help but nuzzle into the human more and Luca settled in. "Mm…" He murmured, listening as the other's breathing calmed with sleep. Aries closed his eyes and wondered why such a wonderful person had to be hurt so much by the world… he would give anything for Luca to be happy he thought, anything… but he had nothing to give. It took him a long time to finally manage to sleep with such thoughts, and his dreams found him this time with a horrid lucidity.<br/><br/>By morning the vampire had trembled and whimpered much of the night, but had remained stuck to Luca's side, lazily draping on leg over the other's while his head remained against the man's ribs. His hand rested on Luca's stomach where it twitched occasionally with the latest dream he'd been caught up in, his breathing fast despite his state of sleep. Aries hadn't dreamed in quite sometime, and he always hated when he did. It was a world of blood and shadowed faces, voices he didn't remember screaming his name, and a version of himself that could be nothing if not a monster down to the very core. Such was the world Aries feared would become his reality… and now Luca stood in his dreamworld too, only it was a corpse rather than a smiling, warm human… he wanted nothing more than to scream, but all he could do was watch again and again…
