Aries was happy to see Luca feeling better. He nodded about leaving, as well as getting a ride from the hunters here... though he did wonder what Luca had meant by the mumbled words. Sure, Alex had been a bad hunter, but in general, Aries prefered to assume that humans were good, and so long as the two of them were together then Aries could protect Luca from other humans he figured... Even if he didn't want to hurt humans, he could still take away their weapons or restrain them. Humans were weaker than him, and with Luca's blood to feed him... Well, it only made the immortal even more of a hazard for those that crossed his favourite human.<br/><br/>Aries dressed after they ate and happily tagged along with Luca, thanking the hunters pleasantly for letting them stay and for caring for his companion, and while a few of them seemed to be a bit confused still by the pair no one seemed to be willing to say anything about it. Instead, they were soon getting a ride to the next town, and while Luca lay down in the back Aries took a couple of pictures out the window and occasionally trying to glimpse the sleeping human's face.<br/><br/>Once back in the familiar town though he pocketed the device and instead trotted along at Luca's side, occasionally chatting about a store or building to the other in his normal fashion until he noted that Luca seemed to have seen something. He blinked up at the shop sign, a little confused about what Luca would want there since he usually only went to stores for weapons seemed, but he happily joined him instead and looked at the shiny things in cases and hanging on racks. His grey eyes were wide as he stared at the items but was careful not to touch them. It was amazing how some of the things reflected the light, and how many would have been things he would never have seen during his own travels.<br/><br/>He had almost forgotten his curiosity of why Luca had come in until the human finally returned to his side. He turned his attention to him and then to the small thing in the other's hand. He carefully took the small earing and looked it over, it was pretty, really pretty... And hearing that it was a matching gift for him and Luca, the vampire couldn't help but feel his heart swell with joy. A gift, a really special gift... Not one because he needed it like clothes, or to make things easier like the phone... But just a gift so that they could have something similar. He looked up to Luca again and noticed how the dark-haired male was blushing and he wanted to take a picture of that, so he wouldn't forget it.<br/><br/>But... along with this joy, there was something else, that nagging voice but also that dull jealousy. Did Luca have something like this with the person he loved before? Why did he have to think of something like that? But still... he was happy. He smiled, though it was a calmer, warm smile rather than his usual exuberant one that he seemed to show when Luca did something that made him feel too excited. "Mm, I want to match Luca. And it's really pretty." He said honestly, carefully cupping the small trinket as he looked down at his hand.<i>Being spoiled again...</i>The soft voice scolded, but Aries didn't want to listen to it.<br/><br/>"Can you help me with it?" He asked, holding it back out to Luca, grinning up at him. He had never worn an earing before, but he was happy with any sort of gift the man might give him. And if he could ignore those less pleasant emotions, then he could selfishly think that it meant something special. No one had wanted to match with him before, no one had given him jewelry, and he knew that something like that meant something special. Just like the kisses... It was special, just for him and Luca, for now at least. For now, he got to keep him all to himself and be dotted on by him, and that was something Aries could be happy about.
