Aries nodded, Luca wasn't helpless... But if Aries ever failed to keep the human safe then... He dismissed the thought for now and instead watched as Luca lay on his back, the soft cough making the vampire worry that he might be making it hard for Luca to relax. He gently loosened his hold on the human but stayed close to his side. "Mm, humans have made miracles." He agreed. Things that seemed incurable when he was a human were now only keeping people like Luca in bed a couple of days... How different would things have been if Aries had been born a couple of centuries later?<br/><br/>"It's okay, you should sleep." He stated, though it seemed that Luca didn't need to extra pressure to do so. Aries soon heard the soft breathing of sleep and he carefully sat up a little to look at Luca's sleeping face. This human was precious to him... Why did he have to meet Luca now...? Why did someone have to shake his convictions after so long? He sat up fully and tucked his legs up, hugging his knees with one arm and resting his cheek on them while he kept his eyes on Luca, his other hand softly brushing through the human's hair like Luca had done to his.<br/><br/>"You misunderstood..." He finally said, voice soft in the silent room. He wore a lonely smile with eyes that seemed to be looking at something far away. "I only killed one person back then... The person that took care of me, that spoiled me, that gave up his humanity for me... I took everything from him." He murmured, careful to not wake Luca as he spoke. "That's why... Please... Don't let me take anything from you..." His voice ached coming from his throat, his expression turning sullen as he watched Luca sleep awhile longer until he finally felt as though he could manage to sleep himself.<br/><br/>By morning Aries was curled back up to Luca's side, his face tucked against the human's ribs, their legs entangled and his arm carefully holding the other around the waist. As expected sleeping in a bed with Luca was the best sleep the vampire got, and the minimal sleep he'd managed since their separation hardly compared. He dozed deeply, and blissfully no dreams tried to pry through the inky darkness. Rather, he slept comfortably and was contented by the warm body that he was allowed to keep so close to him.
