Milo felt like his heart was stuck in his throat, expression stoic as he let Aries feed. His chest was heavy and with it came shame as his body reacted to the bite against his own accord. A heat spread through his body, warm and numbing at first but ever increasing in intensity. It'd been so long since Milo had been bitten that he'd forgotten what it felt like. He winced as Aries bit deeper, face flush and breath coming out from his lips faster than before. His anger faded into fatigue and he stayed silent as the life was drained from his veins. And when the man leaned against Milo he felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. Tears pricked his own eyes and he furiously blinked them them away as he wrapped his arms around the mans shoulders, embracing him even after he said he hated him. He cleared his throat, resting his chin on Aries' red hair.<br/><br/>"Not today." He managed to get out, voice cracking. He stayed like that, just trying to comfort the other even if he was bad at it. He was distracted by a flash of blond hair and when he looked up Alex was in his open door way, lips set in a thin line, concern written all over his face and in his blue eyes. He had a duffel bag slung over his shoulder and a cooler in hand. Milo hadn't realized he left the door open. He'd just been concerned with Aries.<br/><br/>Letting out a shaky breath he got up, gently letting go of Aries and nearly falling over as he stood. He grabbed the arm of the couch, a wave of dizziness over coming him. Alex was there in a second, glancing at Aries as he led Milo to the kitchen to sit down.<br/><br/>"Sorry for the intrusion." He apologized, voice soft.
