Aries didn't want to upset Luca more, he hadn't meant to... But he knew he had. He softly shook his head as the other assured him it wasn't his fault, not realizing that Luca had pieced it together just a little bit... Off. Granted, Aries wasn't being clear, he had a hard enough time sorting through his hazy memories already, let alone articulating them to someone else... Especially not to someone whom he desperately didn't wish to be hated by. It wasn't until Luca spoke again that Aries flinched softly, realizing the mistake, but... How did he explain? How did he say what the truth was? How did he admit that he had truly done something that shouldn't have happened... And lost the single person whom he had adorned from the very beginning? And who had given up everything for him.<br/><br/>But he didn't have a chance to find the right words, the ones that felt honest or that felt like they truly explained it all. Instead, he heard Luca moving, and before he could build up the will to move away from the human as he knew he should Luca was gently touching his face. He averted his eyes, the other's forgiveness feeling like a vice around his heart... He didn't want forgiveness, he didn't deserve it... And he didn't want to allow himself to ever forgive himself. Sweet words were like a toxin to him, whittling away his determination to suffer for what he'd done. And Luca's words were probably the most damaging as Aries so desperately wished to hear them more and more.<br/><br/>Aries finally turned his eyes to Luca, parting his lips slightly to tell him that exact thought, but the grey orbs instead widened at their proximity before soft lips touched his own. He froze, his ever running mind suddenly stalled and seemed to crash... Luca was kissing him...<i>kissing him</i>... Why?! He blinked, stock still even when their lips parted and he was staring dumbly at the human before him. He'd never kissed someone, or been kissed... And for a long, silent moment his addled mind tried to process something that he had once thought about and was jealous of others for... He just got a kiss.<br/><br/>The vampire turned his eyes down and after a long moment he leaned forward and buried his face against Luca's chest and let his arms wrap around his waist. He honestly didn't know how to react, not to his general emotions of self-loathing, or to this new feeling that he didn't have a name for. So, he clung to the human until he could finally find words again, pulling back sharply and looking up at Luca with reddened cheeks and something of uncertain anger. "T-that's not fair!" He whined, pouting like a child, his mind felt friend even though it was such a simple thing. "That's-you aren't-kissing is..." He stammered, returning to his habit of chattering swiftly as his hands rested on the other's arms and his eyes looked down again. Being coherent was probably becoming less and less likely.
